“I tried to use the ingredients in your fridge to make some food. Try it and see how it tastes.” Lu Yuanzhi had just eaten pudding and felt that it tasted good. He also wanted to continue tasting this woman’s cooking. He looked at the dishes on the table. One was braised pork with winter melon, another was wood ear mushroom salad, and there was also pumpkin and egg soup. They were all health-preserving dishes.

“You know about such healthy dishes?” He asked in surprise. Previously, when he saw that she liked to drink and had such a bad temper, he thought that she was the kind of young lady who never went out in the sun. He did not expect that not only did she know how to cook, but she was also quite good at it.

When Jiang Xinxin heard this, she was stunned. “Yes, I do know a little. Previously, my father…” She suddenly stopped and felt a little sad. “Previously, my father always drank too much, so I learned some health tips from the Internet.” When she mentioned Jiang Qian, Jiang Xinxin felt inexplicably bitter. It turned out that she had unknowingly given so much, yet she had not received much in return.

Lu Yuanzhi noticed the change in her mood and knew that she was feeling sad now. He lowered his head and tasted the pumpkin egg soup. “It’s very good.”

After Jiang Xinxin heard what he said, she pulled herself out of her reverie. She knew that he was trying to get her out of something sad. “Thank you for the compliment.” She sat down as well. “Hurry up and eat. It’ll be cold soon.”

The two of them did not speak to each other at the dining table. Lu Yuanzhi silently finished a bowl. He felt that he could eat another bowl, so he went to get the rice. After he finished eating, he realized that he had eaten too much. At this time, he could only eat one bowl of rice. However, this woman’s cooking was so good, so he could eat another bowl. He could not help but say to Jiang Xinxin again, “The food you make is really delicious.”

Jiang Xinxin smiled. “Really? Did you know that my childhood wish was to make soup for my future husband? So I worked hard to get there.”

She had said that on purpose so that Lu Yuanzhi would understand her intentions. She had thought that the hint was very obvious, but Lu Yuanzhi did not react at all. He even reminded her before he left, “I finished eating first. Please wash the dishes and put them in the dishwasher.”

Jiang Xinxin felt that this person was simply a blockhead. For a person like him, if she did not want to chase after him, it would be a miracle if he had a girlfriend. She stood up in a fit of pique and cleaned up the dishes on the table. At the same time, she looked at Lu Yuanzhi angrily and stared at his back as he walked into the kitchen. They were both going to the kitchen. ‘Can’t you help to carry them?’ She was the one who cooked the meal!

Lu Yuanzhi naturally felt the gaze boring into his back. Even he did not realize that the corner of his mouth had already curled up slightly. It seemed that teasing this woman made him feel happy.

He took a cup of warm water from the kitchen and sipped it. Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a corner of a piece of paper poking out from the drawer. He wanted to go and tidy up the things inside. As he pulled open the drawer, he saw the list inside. It was the paper that Jiang Xinxin used to make notes when she made the cat pudding! Not only was there a method to make the cat pudding on it, it was also mixed with the words “For Niu Niu” in Chinese and English at the end.

Lu Yuanzhi seemed to have understood something. He immediately turned to Jiang Xinxin, who was washing the dishes. He realized that Jiang Xinxin was dodging his angry gaze. Instead, she was looking at everything else, not daring to look at him directly. She was definitely guilty!

“What is this thing?” Lu Yuanzhi did not want to let Jiang Xinxin off the hook. He immediately handed the piece of paper to her. She actually fed him cat pudding.. This woman was really bold!
