“Yep,” Jian Yiling replied. She turned around and walked to the barbecue grill.

Jian Yujie stood on the left of Jian Yiling whilst Yu Xi stood on the right. This was the result of their discussion back in the kitchen.

In order to prevent any accidents from happening today, they decided to follow Jian Yiling.

“What do you want to eat?” Jian Yiling asked. She raised her head and looked at Jian Yujie.

“I want to eat the scallops with bean vermicelli!” He opened the scallops himself. Jian Yiling then placed the minced garlic bean vermicelli on the scallops. She also seasoned them for him.

Jian Yiling nodded.

Then, she turned around to ask Yu Xi, “What do you want to eat?”

Yu Xi paused for a moment before he said, “I want ten lamb skewers!”

After Jian Yiling had diced the lamb into blocks, she skewered them together. One by one.

When Jian Yiling got her responses, she turned around to start barbecuing. At the same time, she grilled the scallops, lamb skewers, prawns, and corn.

The prawns were for Grandma Jian.

The grilled corn was for Grandpa Jian.

Although she was grilling several different things at once, she appeared to be quite methodical. It was as though she was a professional at this.

Zhai Yunsheng was sitting on a chair less than two meters away from them. He looked visibly displeased.

“What about me?”

Why didn’t she ask him?

She had asked Jian Yujie and Yu Xi. However, she had forgotten about Zhai Yunsheng.

That’s right. Yu Xi looked over at Jian Yiling. She was currently being busy in front of the barbecue grill.

Although Master Sheng hadn’t helped with preparing the ingredients, he had gone shopping with them today!

He had even carried the bags for Jian Yiling! He didn’t even ask the bodyguards to help him!

“You eat vegetables.”

Jian Yiling replied with a calm and unhurried tone.

“Why?” Zhai Yunsheng asked. He suddenly got up and walked over to Jian Yiling.

Yu Xi was taken aback by Zhai Yunsheng’s actions.

Oh no! It seems as though the little rabbit has annoyed Master Sheng!

Yu Xi’s eyes were filled with worry.

An alarm was also set off in Jian Yujie’s mind. He stared vigilantly at Zhai Yunsheng.

If he dared to take a step forward, he was ready to fight him!

Yu Xi was about to try and prevent the situation from escalating. However, Jian Yiling responded in a calm and clear voice:

“Avoid fatty and high cholesterol foods. Spicy, high protein and raw foods should also be avoided.”

When she spoke, Jian Yiling turned her head and looked at him. She had a serious expression on her face. She didn’t appear frightened at all.

Zhai Yunsheng’s heart wasn’t good. It didn’t matter how healthy he seemed nor how emotionally strong he was. When it came down to it, his body was still weak.

Yu Xi hurriedly added, “Yiling, Master Sheng hates eating vegetables. You have to add a bit of meat or fish.”

The Zhai family always had a headache when it came to this.

They wanted Zhai Yunsheng to have a light diet. However, he never listened to them. He couldn’t be persuaded.

His family was worried that it was dangerous for him to eat foods that were high in calories and cholesterol. However, they were also worried that if he got angry, that’d be worse for his health.

After weighing up the pros and cons, they could only compromise. They attempted to minimize his intake of foods that were high in calories or cholesterol.

Jian Yiling continued to speak, “I’ll grill you some mushrooms. They’ll be delicious.”

Some mushrooms tasted similar to meat. They were as delicious as seafood.

Jian Yiling raised her head and looked at Zhai Yunsheng. She was inquiring about his opinion on the matter.

He hadn’t been forgotten. He had initially thought that he wasn’t allowed to eat delicious food.

On the contrary, she had specially prepared food for him.

When they had gone out to purchase ingredients, Jian Yiling had specifically requested to go to a place to buy rare and uncommon mushrooms.

At that time, Yu Xi and Zhai Yunsheng had a.s.sumed that Jian Yiling had wanted to eat mushrooms.

“Okay, that’s fine.” Zhai Yunsheng replied.

He happily sat back on his chair. He couldn’t hide the smile that spread on his lips.
