After a burst of laughter, everyone’s attention returned to the dinner table.

"Biyao, I think you should stop acting in films and switch to being a comedian." Lu Xiangxiang said earnestly, "With your ability to drive people crazy without any consequence, you’d surely be a hit."

"Exactly, to put it nicely, you’re carefree, but to put it bluntly, you’ve got no shame at all. Your talent is truly enviable." Liu Shangxiang clapped symbolically a few times.

"Let’s stop teasing her, her quirky antics can really make people mad." Qiu Wen spoke sharply.

"Just admit you’re jealous! Is it fun to criticize me in all sorts of ways?" Biyao pat her chest and said, "I’m the most fun. Without me, your lives would be so much less entertaining. You should think about how many wonderful memories I’ve left for you guys. You should be grateful. But honestly, with your low sense of humor, it’s no challenge to make you laugh, it’s really boring."

"Sorry for making it easy for you, really." Lu Xiangxiang said with a fake smile.

"Compared to others, you guys are alright. After all, you’ve already become immune to my tricks, too used to me." Biyao said seriously, "But my brother-in-law is different. The real skill is being able to make him laugh and cry at the same time."

"It’s true; getting Ye Fan so frustrated that he grits his teeth and smiles helplessly is something only you can do." Lu Xiangxiang remarked.

Biyao looked at Ye Fan and said, "What do you say, brother-in-law? You just had a good laugh, didn’t you?"

"I was quite frustrated too," Ye Fan said with a chuckle.

"I think if Ye Fan didn’t spoil you and indulge you, and didn’t show patience, no matter how hard you tried, you wouldn’t be able to deal with him. What’s there to be proud of?" Liu Shangxiang pointed out directly, "It’s Ye Fan’s pampering that gives you the ability to tease him; otherwise, you’d have no solution."

"That’s very reasonable. I thought there was no insightful person here, but you understand." Biyao nodded in agreement and then said generously, "Shangxiang, as a reward, I’ve decided to give you a piece of my special love cucumber, which others can’t have. I made it especially for my brother-in-law."

"Are you trying to harm me? I’m on a diet. I don’t eat sweets." Liu Shangxiang imitated Biyao’s complaining tone.

"No problem, my love cucumber works better than diet tea." Biyao made up nonsense.

"Nonsense." Liu Shangxiang couldn’t help but laugh.

"Actually, this meal is all thanks to Shangxiang. I just helped out a bit with Qiu Wen, and as for Biyao, she was busy entertaining everyone and insisted on making a dish. Of course, simpler was better; everything was prepared for her, yet she still mistook sugar for salt and ended up making an overly sweet cucumber dish. It’s really speechless how her cooking skills can be so lacking. Truly baffling." Lu Xiangxiang said with frustration, "Such a beautiful woman, yet so clueless in this area, is really puzzling."

"When God closes a window for you, surely he opens another one. Being excellent everywhere wouldn’t make sense." Liu Shangxiang said rationally, unable to say anything about Biyao’s culinary skills. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"God? In a way, doesn’t God refer to Ye Fan? The famous hero, Terminator." Lu Xiangxiang laughed, mercilessly dragging Ye Fan into the conversation, "It’s all Ye Fan’s fault, he closed that window for you, which is why you’re clueless about cooking."

She didn’t mind, pushing Biyao to target Ye Fan, leading to another playful banter, and as an observer, she was naturally happy to see Ye Fan in a miserable state under Biyao’s antics.

"I wouldn’t target my brother-in-law." Biyao, understanding Lu Xiangxiang’s intentions, said graciously, "Actually, my cluelessness in the kitchen has nothing to do with him. Growing up spoiled, my sister understood things earlier and spoiled me too, so I’ve been detached from the kitchen ever since."

"From now on, you can’t tease your own brother-in-law anymore. If you fall out of favor, your situation would be dire. With so many people spoiling you, you’d better behave." Lu Xiangxiang spoke with a teacher’s tone.

"Isn’t there an old saying that a younger sister-in-law’s half a butt belongs to the brother-in-law? If I don’t tease my brother-in-law, who would I tease?" Biyao said confidently.

"I think you wish your whole butt belonged to your brother-in-law." Lu Xiangxiang teased.

"Alright, alright, alright, stop it, just stop it! Don’t ignite the war on me. You all say I’m a patient, you should take care of me, my mood can’t be too volatile, got it?" Ye Fan quickly interjected, if he didn’t stop it now, who knows what outrageous things Biyao might come up with.

"What a pity!" Liu Shangxiang and Qiu Wen restrained their eagerness for the unfolding drama.

"There’s still so much food on this table, let’s eat while chatting, don’t just focus on the talk." Mengyao warned.

This finally made things much quieter.

Ye Fan swallowed a bite of food and then inquired, "By the way, I still don’t know how you two were doing after being taken hostage. You must have been terrified, right? Ultimately, it’s my fault. I haven’t properly apologized to you yet."

"It wasn’t just fear, it was sheer terror." Biyao exaggeratedly said, "At the time, Xiangxiang and Shangxiang were both scared witless when they saw the ruthless criminals and thought they would get... Well, their hearts were shattered."

"Who was scared witless? That’s not true." Lu Xiangxiang, covering her face, protested in confusion.

"And what about...? What’s going on in your head?" Liu Shangxiang glared at Biyao, "I really want to dump this plate of cucumbers on your forehead."

"Spare me, heroine!" Biyao shouted.

Mengyao explained, "I haven’t told you this yet. They were terrified when they got captured, but afterward on the island, life was quite comfortable. The criminals knew the importance of threatening you, so they treated them well, as long as they stayed on the island and didn’t do anything foolish, their freedom wasn’t restricted at all."

"After waking up naturally, they’ve meals thrice a day, times to cool off, times to swim in the sea, times to walk on the beach, all well-scheduled." Qiu Wen interjected.

"That’s good, as long as they didn’t suffer." Ye Fan was relieved.

"It’s just Shangxiang’s big heart; if it were me, I’d worry to death already." Lu Xiangxiang said sincerely.
