Chapter 262: The distance caused by separation
That weekend.
The party was held in Xiehan’s mansion. It was a simple party with only nine people. Ji Huifen had gone on a vacation with his wife so Xiehan did not invite them. In the end, it was just The Jiangs, Li Yuming and her daughters, and Lin Jian.
"Who is the ninth person?" Lanni asked Xiehan as they cooked together in his kitchen. She had done her math and there should be eight people.
"I don’t know. That punk will obviously bring a girl along." Xiehan guessed, and Lanni knew he was talking about Lin Jian.
"I wonder who the unlucky girl is. Poor thing..." Lanni mumbled under her breath as she chopped a radish on the chopping board. Xiehan had said that he would personally cook all the food so she had gone over to help him. Because Xiehan was much better than her at cooking, she did the small tasks like washing and choping vegetables and preparing ingredients for him while he cooked.
Their coordination was perfect and before long, they had managed to prepare several dishes.
Just as they finished setting the table, the doorbell rang and Lanni went to answer it.
Madam Jiang had arrived with her husband. When the former saw Lanni, she hurriedly pulled her into a hug. "My dear, you have become prettier."
"Thank you, aunty." Lanni returned the hug warmly then welcomed the two of them into the house.
