Cheng Xiaofan felt quite proud. What man in the world wouldn't want a hot and alluring woman like his own Goddess Bai!
Bai Yiling had known that Cheng Xiaofan would be back today, so she had specially collaborated with Shen Ruobing to prepare a large table of dishes, serving as a welcome feast for Teresa's mother, Tang Guoxing, and his granddaughter.
She had already sent Luo Cheng to pick up Tang Guoxing and his granddaughter.
Before Cheng Xiaofan even arrived home, Luo Cheng called to say that he had already picked up Tang Guoxing and his granddaughter at the airport and was on his way back.
Several people sat in the living room, chatting idly.
"Teresa, are you familiar with the operating procedures of the instruments at the Great Britain Life Science Research Institute?" Cheng Xiaofan asked.
Teresa replied, "Mr. Cheng, my job there was precisely in that field!"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and smiled, "That's wonderful. I managed to acquire a few instruments from there, and they should be arriving tomorrow. Once they're delivered to the technology department, you'll be in charge of operating them."
Teresa chuckled, "Mr. Cheng, you're truly capable. Those instruments on the island are all world-class, and outsiders can generally never access them. Yet, you managed to get a few at once!"
"From what I know, there are three of the most cutting-edge instruments still preserved in a secret underground chamber at the Life Science Research Institute. They are unique in the world."
"It's a pity that these three instruments are too precious. Normally, ordinary people wouldn't even get a chance to glimpse them."
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan laughed heartily and said, "The three instruments I acquired were precisely from that basement."
"Ah, no way! How did you manage to get them?" Teresa asked with a look of astonishment.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled mysteriously and said, "You probably won't believe me if I told you, but Frilank gave them to me!"
Teresa smiled and replied, "Mr. Cheng, you must be joking. How could Frilank possibly give such highly advanced instruments to you?"
Cheng Xiaofan immediately revealed a mysterious smile.
He said, "Perhaps Frilank genuinely thought I was staying on the island to work for him. In a moment of confusion, he gave me those three instruments!"
"Oh!" Teresa responded.
Looking at the expression on her face, it was filled with utter bewilderment.
Clearly, she still didn't believe such a thing could happen.
Only Bai Yiling seemed to have discerned something from Cheng Xiaofan's mysterious smile.
She understood her mysterious man's capabilities. Anything he set his sights on, no one could stop him from acquiring it.
Perhaps he had already brought the instruments back and they were in his backpack.
It was just that her mysterious man found it inconvenient to take them out in front of everyone.
She immediately showed an understanding smile and said to Teresa, "I believe what Xiao Fan said. He's the best at fooling people. No matter how shrewd Frilank is, in his hands, he becomes as meek as a worm, and he'll hand over even the best treasures."
"..." Cheng Xiaofan was instantly speechless.
"Fooling" was a derogatory term, wasn't it? Why was it being applied to him?
Who had he ever fooled?
But then, thinking about what had happened between him and Elalise, Cheng Xiaofan felt a bit guilty, like a thief, and didn't dare to protest.
"Teresa, from now on, you, General Han, and your mother can live here. Feel free to choose any of the villas on the east or west sides!" Cheng Xiaofan immediately changed the subject.
Han Jie picked up the conversation and said with a smile, "Xiao Fan, we've specially built a set of houses near the village office for visitors to stay in."
"Today, the village office assigned us a unit. It's very spacious and the environment is nice. The three of us will be very comfortable living there!"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and smiled, "Alright, as long as you all feel it's good, then it's up to you!"
Not long after, the sound of a car was heard from outside the door.
"It must be Luo Cheng back!"
As soon as Bai Yiling finished speaking, Luo Cheng led Tang Guoxing and his granddaughter into the house.
Tang Guoxing's eyes widened in surprise when he saw Cheng Xiaofan. "Ah, Mr. Cheng! I thought you said you wouldn't be leaving the island until tonight, but how did you get back before us?"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, "Old Mr. Tang, I left the island as it was getting dark. However, I flew back on an eagle, so of course, I got home earlier than you."
Hearing this, Tang Guoxing looked at Luo Cheng and said with a smile, "Little Luo, I thought you were joking when you said Mr. Cheng would ride an eagle back. I didn't expect it to be true!"
"What kind of divine eagle is that? Is it that fast?" Tang Xiuxian asked Cheng Xiaofan in surprise.
Cheng Xiaofan laughed and said, "If you mention the speed of my Sky-Breaking Eagle, it's comparable to the speed of light. Flying from here, it could leave the country in the blink of an eye!"
Tang Xiuxian was utterly astonished. "Heavens, that fast!"
Immediately after, Cheng Xiaofan introduced everyone present to each other.
Finally, he pointed to his own Goddess Bai and said with a smile, "This is my Goddess Bai. Old Mr. Tang, from now on, you can just call her Xiao Bai!"
"I'll stick with Goddess Bai!" Old Mr. Tang said with a hearty laugh.
Bai Yiling smiled charmingly and said, "Old Mr. Tang, welcome to you and Xiuxian!"
"Thank you, Sister Bai!" Tang Xiuxian quickly responded.
Luo Cheng was about to leave when Cheng Xiaofan stopped him. "Luo Cheng, it's almost dinnertime. Stay for the meal before you go!"
Bai Yiling smiled, "That's right, Luo Cheng. You've worked hard driving. It's not too late to eat here before you leave!"
Tang Xiuxian grabbed Luo Cheng's hand and said, "We'll all eat here together. If you leave, I'll be angry!"
"Alright, alright, I'll stay!" Luo Cheng said hastily.
Seeing this, Cheng Xiaofan felt a surge of joy. It seemed he had helped two young people find each other.
He could tell from their eyes that they liked each other. Who said there was no love at first sight in this era?
These two were proof!
"Serve the food!" At this moment, Bai Yiling and Shen Ruobing began bringing dishes from the kitchen to the table.
Tang Xiuxian and Teresa also rushed into the kitchen to help.
Soon, the table was filled with dishes.
Tang Guoxing sniffed the air and asked with a look of awe, "Who made these dishes?"
Bai Yiling smiled, "Shen Ruobing and I made them. Old Mr. Tang, I heard Xiao Fan say you are a Craft Cultivator who specializes in gourmet food. If they're not up to par, please forgive us!"
"No, no, no, Goddess Bai, you misunderstand me!"
Tang Guoxing said earnestly, "From the aroma alone, I can tell these are extraordinary delicacies, rarely found in the world. Are you and Shen Ruobing both Craft Cultivators?"
Bai Yiling smiled, "Old Mr. Tang, Ruobing is a Craft Cultivator, but her specialty is furniture!"
"It's not that our cooking is exceptionally good. It's that these ingredients are all new varieties developed by Xiao Fan. Anyone could make incredibly unique dishes with them!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Guoxing quickly picked up a piece of ordinary green vegetable and put it into his mouth.
After chewing a few times, his eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Ah, this taste is simply magnificent! And there's also a special spiritual substance within it. It's truly miraculous!"
