When Lu Qingye turned to look out the window just now, he was distracted and did not hear what his mother said at the end.

As the assistant’s voice was too soft, Madam Lu did not hear him either and thought that Lu Jinsen was responding to her when he hummed in response.

Madam Lu said, “Alright, I won’t disturb your rest.”

Meng Chuyuan made a few dishes based on the ingredients she had, but it was still different from the dishes in the previous two episodes.

The vegetables that were in season were basically the same. The meat provided by the production team was also fixed. The other groups could not create variation in their dishes. Only Meng Chuyuan was producing new dishes for every meal.

Lu Jinsen was still her assistant. He did some simple things to help Meng Chuyuan prepare the food as soon as possible.

After Qi Yan left the kitchen, she returned to her room to change her clothes. Not only did she remove the fishy water on her body, but she also tidied her makeup and hair.

When she came out of the room, Meng Chuyuan had already finished preparing the food.

Ting Jiu helped to serve the dishes while Lu Jinsen took out bowls and chopsticks from the cupboard and placed them neatly on the table.

Qi Yan walked towards them and subconsciously glanced at the dining table. It was really filled with dishes. The fragrance of the dishes dissipated through the air, triggering her sharp sense of smell.

When the last stir-fried garlic lettuce dish was out of the pot, Meng Chuyuan plated it and extinguished the fire in the stove. Only then did she walk out with the dish and the sweet and sour fish that had been placed aside for a long time.

Coincidentally, she saw Qi Yan standing under the roof, only a few steps away from her. Meng Chuyuan casually said, “You can eat now.”

When Qi Yan saw her pass by, she did not even look at her.

Her gaze followed Meng Chuyuan’s predicted route to the dining table. Just as she was wondering if Meng Chuyuan was inviting her to dinner, she saw Meng Chuyuan put two plates of dishes on the table.

The next second, Qi Yan saw Lu Jinsen pick up his chopsticks and touch her plate of sweet and sour fish.

Seeing this scene, Qi Yan could not calm down.

All the other groups had the same ingredients, but she won that fish back herself.

Qi Yan subconsciously walked over. Just as she was about to speak, Lu Jinsen had already picked up a piece of fish and was eating it with relish.

When she saw Lu Jinsen eating the fish, Qi Yan subconsciously slowed down. The anxiety on her face was also captured by the camera.

[Oh my, the princess’s sweet and sour fish was eaten by the young master.]

[What princess’s sweet and sour fish? That was also made by Sister Meng, okay? She’s just providing the ingredients.]

[I have to say, hahaha, Lu Jinsen is quite brave. He ate the sweet and sour fish first.]

[It’s so awkward. Won’t someone come out to liven up the atmosphere? I’m really afraid that they’ll start fighting as we eat.]

Seeing that Lu Jinsen was enjoying the food, Ting Jiu started to crave it as well.

After he finished the piece of bacon in his mouth, he quickly picked up the sweet and sour fish and ate it. He realized that it tasted good, so he directly picked up the fish tail this time.

Qi Yan was hot-headed. She walked over and sat down angrily. She picked up the bowl and chopsticks on the table and joined them rudely.

This was the first time Qi Yan sat beside Meng Chuyuan so naturally. She was too busy sulking to care about anything else.

Meng Chuyuan saw that after she sat down, her chopsticks went straight for the sweet and sour fish. There was no hesitation in between, which surprised her.

Qi Yan followed the cut on the fish and pried up a piece of meat before putting it into her mouth.

Originally, she just didn’t want to have wasted her entire afternoon’s hard work. After winning a fish, she couldn’t let them eat it for free, so she thought that no matter what it tasted like, she had to eat enough of this fish.

In the end, when the crispy fish meat entered her mouth, the sauce was sweet and sour. The meat was soft and delicious, and the fishy smell was not that strong.

Qi Yan was stunned for a moment. She chewed mechanically, thinking that there was something wrong with her taste buds. After two to three seconds, she realized that this taste was real.

Unexpectedly, the sweet and sour fish Meng Chuyuan casually made was quite delicious.

[Indeed, no one can resist the temptation of delicious food, especially if it’s made by Sister Meng.]

[Qi Yan said, aren’t they all from the same pot? Why don’t they taste the same?]

[Qi Yan’s expression, she’s clearly stunned by Sister Meng’s culinary skills.

However, she can’t bring herself to say that this is true.]

[Sigh, I’m tired of saying that I want to eat Sister Meng’s delicious food. When can my dream be realized?]

In her astonishment, she finished the fish and swallowed it.

Meng Chuyuan took a bite of rice and glanced at her from the corner of her eye, secretly observing her expression.

Seeing that Qi Yan did not complain after eating the fish, it seemed that she was not here to pick a bone today.

Lu Jinsen happened to be sitting opposite Qi Yan. He could see her dumbfounded expression clearly.

Ting Jiu wolfed down the food and tried almost every dish on the table. He praised non-stop, “Sister Chuyuan’s culinary skills are too superb. I want to stay here permanently.”

Hearing his complaints, Meng Chuyuan replied seriously, “Then you can stay.”

“Really?” Ting Jiu raised his head expectantly and looked at the production team staff.

Without waiting for the director to respond, Meng Chuyuan said lightly again,

“You can film with my brother-in-law. Let me go back and continue to be a NEET wife.”

It had been a long time since Meng Chuyuan had as fulfilling of a time as she did recording the variety show.

Perhaps she was too young. At the moment, she did not have much ambition and aspirations for herself, because she felt that no matter what she did, it did not seem to be attractive enough.

Other than some new learning methodologies, nothing else could make her want to improve herself.

[NEET wife… Would a man really marry such a woman?]

[This is probably the euphemistic alternative to an abandoned woman from a wealthy family.]

[I want to be a NEET wife too, but no one wants me.]

[Sister Meng doesn’t give me the impression that she’s a NEET at all. Other than the first episode where she was a little listless, I think she’s very good at other times.]

When Lu Jinsen heard her thoughts of leaving the variety show, panic flashed across his eyes.

He had signed an entire season with the production team. If he wanted to quit, not only would he have to pay the penalty, but this would also be the start of the severance of his fundings.

He could not get any fundings to begin with. If he lost this variety show, he did not know when he would be able to be active in public.

Other than his good looks and some acting skills, he did not know anything else and could not help his family.

If he were to leave the entertainment industry in the future, Lu Jinsen did not know what he could do.

However, the person who was more flustered than Lu Jinsen was the director.

He was sitting in front of the monitor and eating his lunchbox. When he heard Meng Chuyuan’s words, he immediately felt that the lunchbox in his hand was no longer delicious.

The director’s gaze landed on Ting Jiu and he said with some dissatisfaction,

“What is this guy doing? He’s even spouting nonsense while eating…”

Ting Jiu looked up at Lu Jinsen and suddenly shook his head. “Forget it then. I don’t want to record with him. He doesn’t know how to cook..”
