Just then, Shen Qiuyu, who had been silent, said with a smile, "Let's hurry up and eat, or the dishes will all get cold. If we don't finish the dishes today, Sister Su and I won't cook for you anymore."

Upon hearing Shen Qiuyu's words, everyone was suddenly astonished and quickly shelved the answer they had just deemed impossible to know, returning to the topic of eating.

"Who made this braised eggplant?" Ye Xiao asked, picking up a piece of braised eggplant, took a bite, and inquired.

Shen Qiuyu immediately responded carefully, "I made it. Is there something wrong with it?"

Ye Xiao said seriously, "It's not just wrong—it's very wrong."

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, everyone thought it must taste bad. Lan Lan immediately picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, chewed twice, and suddenly her expression turned to surprise, saying, "It's wrong, really wrong!"

Seeing that both of them said it was wrong, Su Yun, Ling Shuya, Zhou Yuyan, and even Little Tang Rong, who was just feeling embarrassed, were all puzzled, especially Shen Qiuyu, who had cooked the dish. Listening to Ye Xiao and Lan Lan, she also became tense. She had learned how to make this braised eggplant from an elderly chef on Qiu Mountain, having studied it for several years. However, she hadn't made it in recent times, so when she heard Ye Xiao and Lan Lan's comments, Shen Qiuyu truly thought she had ruined the dish.

Su Yun, Ling Shuya, Zhou Yuyan, and Tang Rong each tasted the dish in turn, but after they each had a bite, to their utter surprise, they all looked at Shen Qiuyu, astounded.

Now even more confused, Shen Qiuyu asked, "What's the matter?"

"It really tastes different from ordinary braised eggplant!" said Su Yun.

"Yes, braised eggplant should not taste like this!" exclaimed Ling Shuya.

"Exactly, how can braised eggplant be this delicious?" Zhou Yuyan was equally astonished.

At this moment, Lan Lan added, "Sister Qiuyu, how did you make this braised eggplant? How can it be so delicious?"

After hearing everyone's comments, Shen Qiuyu's previously anxious heart finally settled. It turned out that the braised eggplant she made wasn't bad at all—it was too delicious. This unique braised eggplant had taken everyone by surprise with an unexpected delight!

"I think we could totally open a restaurant!" Zhou Yuyan suddenly said with a laugh.

Lan Lan agreed, "Yeah, with the cooking skills of Ye Xiao, Sister Su, and Sister Qiuyu, the restaurant would definitely be very popular."

Ye Xiao asked, "Would others also be fortunate enough to taste such deliciousness?"

At Ye Xiao's words, everyone giggled, and Ling Shuya rolled her eyes at Ye Xiao, remarking, "You think you're the Emperor, huh? As if others aren't fortunate enough, and only you are. By the way, we've been talking, but I haven't tried Ye Xiao's scrambled eggs with tomato yet. If it's not good, I insist on it being remade!"

Saying this, Ling Shuya picked up a piece of egg. Previously, Tang Rong had mixed the eggs and tomatoes together. Would it be the eggs or the tomatoes that tasted good? Or would both be delicious? Or perhaps one of them wasn't as tasty? Ling Shuya was looking for any flaw in this dish of scrambled eggs with tomato...

After putting the egg in her mouth and chewing a few times, Ling Shuya immediately closed her mouth.

Tang Rong said with a laugh, "See, Sister Ling, I didn't lie to you, right? The scrambled eggs with tomato are really good."

Ling Shuya, tasting it, inwardly praised the dish, but said, "It's passable—at least it didn't waste the ingredients!"

Hearing Ling Shuya's words, everyone laughed, and they continued to enjoy their meal, talking and laughing together.

Happy moments always fly by quickly, and before they knew it, it was past ten o'clock, and it was time for everyone to leave.

"Won't you stay a little longer?" Su Yun asked, trying to persuade them to stay.

Ye Xiao said, "Let's head back first, we still have things to do after we get back."

"Hmph, you wish," Ling Shuya muttered from the side.

Ye Xiao heard her, and so did everyone else.

Ye Xiao immediately said, "My lady, it's you who's overthinking."

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Ling Shuya's face turned red, clearly embarrassed. After all, it seemed that Ling Shuya really was overthinking.

"Your photos," Ling Shuya said with a sneaky grin on her face.

Ye Xiao's shoulders slumped as he let out a wry smile, "All right, you win."

At that, all the girls laughed.

As the group of girls walked down, Ye Xiao brought up the rear. He saw that Tang Rong, Ling Shuya, and Shen Qiuyu were almost down to the first floor. He turned to Su Yun at the door and asked, "What was Rongrong about to say just now? What was it?"

Su Yun raised an eyebrow at Ye Xiao and chuckled, "You're pretty persistent, huh? You want to completely figure out the thoughts of a young girl?"

"Heh, just curious."

"But, you see, I really can't tell you now. Otherwise, I'd be breaking a promise," Su Yun said.

"Does it count?"

"Of course, it does."

While Su Yun and Ye Xiao were talking, suddenly a scream came from downstairs.

"Ye Xiao, come quick!" Ling Shuya's voice rose urgently from below, as if something extremely important had happened.

Ye Xiao was slightly startled upon hearing this and immediately rushed downstairs.

Once downstairs, he immediately saw Shen Qiuyu, Zhou Yuyan, Ling Shuya, and two men in black fighting. The two men in black were clearly strong, and the three girls were completely at a disadvantage at this moment.

Seeing this, Ye Xiao didn't hesitate for a second. His body moved with the grace of a swallow and speed as well, leaping directly into the fray between the two men in black and the girls, taking over the confrontation from the three women.

"Who are you?" Ye Xiao eyed the two men in black coldly.

Originally, he thought the men in black might turn to attack him, but unexpectedly, the two men exchanged glances upon seeing Ye Xiao and then quickly retreated, seemingly trying to escape.

These unknown men in black had clashed with his beauties, so obviously, they were not his people. Ye Xiao leaped into the air, blocking the path of the two fleeing men.

"You think you can leave without explaining yourselves?" Ye Xiao said, eyebrow raised as he looked at the two men.

But before the men in black could reply, Zhou Yuyan shouted at Ye Xiao, "Quit trying to look cool, they kidnapped Rongrong."

Hearing Zhou Yuyan's words, Ye Xiao then realized that Tang Rong was no longer there, and he was stunned!
