During the following period, Wang Xiaoqiang was thinking of ways to get in touch with Jiang Wei and take their friendship to the next level. Just as Wang Xiaoqiang was about to contact Jiang Wei, Tang Mengtian, Tang Wan's younger sister, invited him out for coffee.

Tang Mengtian was sixteen or seventeen, looking like an older Little Loli. Wang Xiaoqiang had met this Little Loli through Tang Wan.

The meeting place was the Decade Café.

The Decade Café had an elegant environment. Tall floor-to-ceiling glass was adorned with verdant climbing vines that, at first glance, seemed artificial until a closer look revealed they were alive. The space was filled with greenery, making the air seem dyed green. Taking a deep breath, one could smell a unique botanical fragrance, feeling as if they were in a greener pasture. The few tables occupied were mostly by couples, whispering sweet nothings over coffee—a great joy in life. Today, Tang Mengtian wore a light and elegant purple dress, appearing very dignified and relaxed. After a recent kidnapping incident, she seemed much more mature than before.

Most young girls don't like drinking coffee, and Tang Mengtian was no exception. She disliked the bitterness of coffee and wanted to add an extra cube of sugar, but she hesitated, fearing weight gain, and eventually gave up. Wang Xiaoqiang noticed,

and said, "If you like sweet things, just add it!"

"No no, eating too much sweet stuff will make one fat, and then no one will want me!"

"What are you afraid of? If nobody wants you, I will!" Tang Mengtian smiled sweetly but then suddenly pouted, complaining, "Dad doesn't allow me to date!"

"Uncle Tang is just looking out for you. Dating too early isn't good. What if you meet a bad person?"

"Psh, I'm not blind. I can tell good from bad!" Tang Mengtian said disdainfully.

"Then you tell me, am I a good person or a bad person?"

"You, of course you're a good person... If you were a bad person, then there wouldn't be any good people in the whole world..."

Tang Mengtian said very earnestly.

"Haha, I hope you're right."

"Ah, Brother Qiang, I really want to eat the food you cook..."

"The food I make isn't tasty..."

"Psh, liar," Tang Mengtian pouted, showing her displeasure, "I'll go to your house, and you can cook for me. I've never been to your house!"

"Well... okay then!"

"Ah... you agreed," Tang Mengtian said joyfully, "Oh my, I'm so lucky to eat the 'Dragon Phoenix Delight' cooked by Brother Qiang!"

Just then, Wang Xiaoqiang's phone rang. Taking it out, he was surprised to see it was Jiang Wei calling.

"Hello, Jiang Wei, what made you think of calling me..."

"I want to invite you over for a meal,"

Wang Xiaoqiang hadn't expected Jiang Wei to be so direct.

"How could I let you treat me,"

"Otherwise, you treat me," Jiang Wei laughed. "Okay, come to my house tonight, I'll cook for you," "Come to your house...?" Jiang Wei hesitated. "Are your uncle and aunt at home!?"

"They aren't, it's just me at home."

"Uh... it's a bit inconvenient in the evening, isn't it?!" Jiang Wei became cautious. After all, she had only met Wang Xiaoqiang once and didn't know him very well. She also had an important matter to request of Wang Xiaoqiang this time.

Wang Xiaoqiang caught the hint in Jiang Wei's words and immediately said, "Uh, no worries, another sister will be there too,"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wei immediately agreed.

Before Wang Xiaoqiang could hang up, Tang Mengtian across the table already had a stern look, with tears shimmering in her eyes: "You said it was just the two of us, why is there another person now..."

Tang Mengtian was still immature, and her sudden change left Wang Xiaoqiang quite flustered. "Well, the more the merrier!" Wang Xiaoqiang advised.

"More people isn't better at all," Tang Mengtian said discontentedly: "And sister… Is she even your sister?"

"Sworn sister… Sworn sister…" Wang Xiaoqiang said softly.

"Not even a sworn sister," Tang Mengtian still disagreed.

"Beloved sister… Beloved sister…"

Tang Mengtian finally burst into laughter.

That evening.

The moonlight was bright and the night tempting.

Wang Xiaoqiang's private villa.

At this moment.

Wang Xiaoqiang was busy in the kitchen.

In the living room, two women sat on the sofa chatting.

One was Tang Mengtian, the other was Jiang Wei.

Tang Mengtian and Jiang Wei were completely different types of girls.

Tang Mengtian was naive and sweet, while Jiang Wei was mature and dignified.

"Sister Wei, I heard from Brother Qiang that you're a writer?" Tang Mengtian asked.

"Uh... not really a writer, just an amateur scribbler..." Jiang Wei replied.

"So, what kind of novels do you usually write?" Tang Mengtian inquired further.

Jiang Wei usually wouldn't answer such a question, but as they were the only two in the living room, and having just met, there weren't many topics to discuss. Not answering would have definitely made the atmosphere awkward.

"Mostly youth and romance novels!" Jiang Wei responded evasively.

"Ah... romance novels, those must be very romantic..." Tang Mengtian propped her chin with her hands, her interest clearly piqued as she stared at Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei smiled faintly, feeling that Tang Mengtian's emotional age was much younger than her actual age. "Well, Sister Wei, I have an awkward request. Could you include the story between me and Brother Qiang in your novel?" Tang Mengtian said, feeling it a bit presumptuous and quickly added, "If it interferes with your writing, I'm willing to compensate..." she said, her face full of expectation as she looked at Jiang Wei.

"What's the story between you and Little Qiang?" Jiang Wei became interested too. From the moment she first saw them, Jiang Wei felt that this girl wasn't related to Little Qiang. As a writer with a keen sense of human nature, she immediately concluded that this girl must like Little Qiang, though they hadn't reached the stage of being lovers yet. Now, she wanted to hear what really was the story between Tang Mengtian and Little Qiang.

Seeing Jiang Wei expectant, Tang Mengtian began to describe vividly, as if crafting a story, how she and Wang Xiaoqiang first met. It wasn't anything spectacular, just mundane. Yet, Little Loli depicted it with a romantic and poetic flair.

Jiang Wei listened, stunned. With her rich imagination as a writer, she still couldn't believe the eloquence and imagination of Tang Mengtian, who had a poet's talent. After listening, Jiang Wei shook her head, "The story is quite romantic, but I write realistic fiction, not the exaggerated kind to be found in online romance novels. I can't write that..."

"What?" Tang Mengtian immediately showed a look of disgruntled disbelief. "It's all true, if you don't believe me, you can ask Brother Qiang..."

Just then, Wang Xiaoqiang came out of the kitchen with a dish and said, "Honored ladies, dinner is ready, please wash up and come eat..."

Both girls laughed.

Tang Mengtian's smile vanished as she looked earnestly at Wang and said, "Brother Qiang, tell Sister Wei, was our encounter romantic or not?"

Wang Xiaoqiang was startled: "Romantic?"

Tang Mengtian said, "Yes, like that familiar feeling when I first saw you visiting my house, just like Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu in Dream of the Red Chamber..."

Wang Xiaoqiang snorted with laughter and said, "Oh, that... You guys go wash up first; we can talk while we eat..."

Xu Wei also laughed.

After the two girls washed up and came back, Wang Xiaoqiang had already served the food—four dishes and one soup.

Looking at the varied dishes and smelling the delicious aroma, Tang Mengtian closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then her smile blossomed, "Wow, I'm so happy, I get to eat Brother Qiang's spectacular Dragon and Phoenix presentation again!"

Jiang Wei glanced at Tang Mengtian, then her beautiful eyes rested on the dishes on the table. Instantly, she reassessed Wang Xiaoqiang with new respect. Jiang Wei, worldly and well-informed, could tell at a glance that the four dishes and a soup were definitely comparable to the craftsmanship of a five-star hotel chef. In modern society, besides chefs, which young man would cook, let alone create such exquisite dishes! Looking up at Wang Xiaoqiang again, there was a new spark in Jiang Wei's wise eyes.

But for Cultivator Wang Xiaoqiang, what was this really about? Using Fire Element Spiritual Energy to cook, Water Spirit Qi to prepare sauces, and Spirit Energy for seasoning made him a true immortal chef.

"What are you waiting for, let's eat!" Wang Xiaoqiang picked up his chopsticks, urging the two to start their meal.

"This must be the Dragon and Phoenix Presentation, right?" As a literate person, Jiang Wei recognized at a glance that the Dragon and Phoenix Presentation, which Tang Mengtian had been talking about, must be the dish made from snake meat and chicken arranged in a Tai Chi diagram. She pointed with her chopsticks at that dish and asked.
