Seeing Lin Nuan raising her head and looking at him like a well-behaved kid who was listening to a story, waiting for him to continue, he smiled and said, “It was only during our great grandfather’s generation that a local tyrant forcibly bought the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant. However, our family’s culinary skills weren’t lost. Although they bought the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant, they didn’t get our family’s recipes! In the end, since the food made by our grandfather was especially delicious, he set up a small restaurant himself, and the business was especially good. Think about it… our grandparents could send our parents overseas for their studies. This shows how amazing Grandfather was. After that… Dad didn’t inherit the family business and continue managing the restaurant, choosing to work on Wall Street instead. From then, there was no one to inherit our family’s culinary skills.”


  Cen Mo didn’t carry on with the story, fearing that Lin Nuan would feel sad…


  At a later time, when their father returned to the country, there wasn’t a single company that dared to hire him due to his black record!

  Therefore, he bought a trishaw, heading out early in the morning and returning late at night every day. He’d work laboriously at the worksite when it wasn’t mealtime, and during meal times, he would sell shredded pancakes and fried noodles at the entrances of the various work sites. At night, he would continue to ride his trishaw to the various universities to continue selling shredded pancakes and fried noodles!

  Their father had great culinary skills, and the food was great in quantity and low in price, so it was very popular amongst the workers and students!

  The workers and students all suggested that their father save up money and open a small shop. However, their father had to use the money he earned every month to search for his son and for their livelihoods, so how could he possibly save enough money?

  When it was busy, their father would be so busy that he might go into shock. He treated himself like a robot that didn’t know what fatigue was!

  He had no money, and, given Ji Yun’s condition, she was of no help at all. He was only able to struggle by himself. It was only after Cen Mo investigated things that he realized what a tough life they had led.

  While his heart ached for his father, Cen Mo was also in admiration toward him. At the very least, his father had supported the entire family with his own shoulders.

  It was just that, the fact that he had switched Lin Nuan and Lin Ran was really… not right!

  Despite that being the wrong thing to do, Cen Mo didn’t think of it as his father’s fault. On the contrary, he saw his father’s deep love for Lin Nuan.

  Cen Mo’s character was a little twisted due to what he had experienced in the past. He never did have a clear perspective of what was right and wrong. In his view… why would his father want to let their daughter stay behind and withstand all the hardship when he knew that their future lives would be extremely tough? Of course he would let his birth daughter lead a better life.

  However, Cen Mo knew in his heart that this wasn’t the right thing to do, and he felt that if he was in his father’s shoes, he would definitely not have given up on his birth daughter. No matter how tough life was, he’d bring his birth daughter up by himself, treasuring her.

  At the thought of this, Cen Mo felt even more guilty when he looked at Lin Nuan. If it weren’t because their father was looking for him… their lives probably wouldn’t have been so bad, and he might not have sent Lin Nuan away.

  All parents in the world loved their children. This was especially so for his parents, who had never given up on searching for him despite the fact that he had gone missing for so long. If they liked boys, they could have just given birth to another child, but they didn’t… They never gave up on searching for him, and Cen Mo would never believe that parents like this wouldn’t love Lin Nuan.

  Lin Nuan seemed to have noticed the apologetic look in Cen Mo’s eyes. She smiled and said, “Then, in the future… I’ll trouble Brother to learn a few more dishes. It’d be best if you could inherit the skills from our grandfather and great grandfather. I’ll be able to have the great fortune of enjoying good food then!”


  Every time Lin Nuan called Cen Mo “Brother,” his eyes would moisten up unknowingly, and he would feel as if his heart was wrapped by a layer of warm current.

  Cen Mo nodded seriously, saying, “Okay. It’s said that we have a book of recipes in the Lu family. I’ll go look for it and learn a few more dishes for you and Yao Yao to taste!”


  Lin Nuan nodded happily. “Alright. When Tuan Tuan wakes up later, we’ll trouble Tuan Tuan’s uncle to make some steamed egg for him!”


  Lin Nuan didn’t stand on ceremony and started to order people around.

  Cen Mo was completely willing to be ordered around by his younger sister, and he had no complaints about preparing food for Tuan Tuan. He nodded, and when he returned to his senses, he met with Lin Nuan’s pitch-black smiling eyes.

  Fu Huai’an’s arm naturally hung on the backrest of the chair Lin Nuan was sitting in, and he watched as Lin Nuan daintily ate the noodles with small bites. When he saw her stray hair falling from the side of her face, his fingers with distinct joints tucked the stray hair behind her ear. It was only when he realized that Cen Mo had his gaze on him that he looked toward Cen Mo.

  Was he jealous? Was he trying to show off his rights of possession? Cen Mo couldn’t help but think that Fu Huai’an’s tolerance level was too low.

  Cen Mo didn’t stand on ceremony at all despite being a guest there. At the thought of how Fu Huai’an was his brother-in-law and treated Lin Nuan quite well, Cen Mo said, “You can also have a taste and give your opinion!”


  “Alright!” Fu Huai’an nodded.

  Fu Huai’an was in quite a good mood today. He could sense that Lin Nuan was in a good mood when Cen Mo mentioned that he was going to make good food for her. Fu Huai’an would feel happy when Lin Nuan was in a good mood.

  As for Cen Mo’s guess that Fu Huai’an was jealous, it was something that didn’t exist at all!

  Fu Huai’an wasn’t such a petty person. Moreover, the other party was an elder brother who was related to Lin Nuan by blood, not Lin Chen. Fu Huai’an wasn’t that childish.

  The television in the dining room was playing today’s news…


  The report was on the new bomber developed by the country. The test flight was going to be conducted officially on the 9th of the month!

  Back when the Kaide Corporation was developing the turbine, the government had already started to manufacture a new bomber based on the blueprints. It was unexpected that both sides had completed their work almost concurrently, and they then worked overtime to install the turbine. They were going to take a test flight today and take another official test flight on the 9th.

  This was a form of political deterrence…


  The United States was raring to go now and was creating unease both on the international level as well as in their neighboring countries. Their goal was to create trouble for China!

  They said that for a country to be strong, they must first have a strong military!

  Although this was a civilized era, having a strong punch was still an absolute principle. The person with the strongest fist would be the boss!

  This test flight was just a form of deterrence, telling the United States that their new turbine had been successfully developed. With the powerful propelling force of the turbine, their new bomber would only need to use a single turbine for vertical takeoffs and landing. In the past, the fighter jets in the country would generally need two turbines to support vertical takeoffs and landing. This showed how powerful the new turbine was.

  Currently, the world’s most powerful bomber was the United States’ B-2 Spirit stealth bomber. Under a situation where fuel wasn’t added, it could fly for 12,000 kilometers. It could fly from the United States to Iraq and then turn back. Moreover, it could fly such a long distance while bringing along 22,680 kilograms worth of missiles!

  China’s newly developed bomber, the Heavenly Eye, was estimated to be able to fly over 12,000 kilometers under a situation without additional fuel and bringing along over 2,000 kilograms worth of missiles.

  Of course, this bomber might not be comparable to a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber in other aspects, but their technology was catching up bit by bit! This was what had excited the citizens, and it was also sufficient to provide a deterrence to the United States.
