Chapter 3

Tomato Hot Pot

“It’s delicious, right?” As Liao Ning looked at Liao Nai’s bright eyes, she beamed.

Liao Nai nodded vigorously and smiled at Liao Ning, forgetting that he had just suspected that Liao Ning was going to poison him.

“Eat more if it’s delicious. Don’t starve yourself.” With that, Liao Ning went to deal with the remaining ingredients.

“Can I really eat more?” Liao Nai held his plate in disbelief.

In the past, his mother had never given him such good things.

Perhaps the woman in front of him wasn’t as bad as he thought.

Liao Nai probed carefully.

Liao Ning took the opportunity to pat his fluffy head. “Of course.”

It felt so soft to the touch.

Liao Nai blushed. His aunt’s hand was warm, so he didn’t despise being touched.

He didn’t notice that he didn’t subconsciously dodge as he usually did. He blushed as he took another bite of the delicious tomato.

“Aunt, what’s hotpot?” Liao Nai asked curiously.

“It’s stewing delicious things in boiling water, but let’s add some ingredients to it today and make a tomato base for you.” Liao Ning boiled the water and poured it on the tomatoes.

The tomato that had been cut twice instantly shed a layer of wrinkled skin. After it was cut into pieces by Liao Ning and squeezed into a paste along with garlic, it was boiled in the pot.

The sizzling sound was very pleasant.

Liao Nai’s eyes widened. Then, she heard Liao Ning say, “Turn on the oil extraction function.”

The smart mechanical butler in the room immediately operated. The small fan that appeared on the holographic silver screen whirred, making Liao Nai laugh in delight.

This wasn’t an oil extraction device. What the holographic silver screen showed was fake.

However, the pot that had been smoking just now was indeed no longer smoking. At this moment, the soup in the pot was already so thick that it was bubbling. The aroma whet his appetite.

Liao Nai’s intuition told him that the food must be very delicious.

At this moment, a sweet voice sounded. “Hello, Little Master. I’m Mechanical Intelligence V. How can I help you?”

Liao Nai was shocked when the data profile changed in front of him.

There was an AI butler in this cabin. Just as Liao Ning had said, the equipment here was fully automatic.

Then why didn’t she just use machinery to make nutritional fluid for him to deal with his hunger? Why did she have to go through so much trouble to cook?

As Liao Nai looked at Liao Ning, who was enjoying herself, his cold heart seemed to have met a blazing sun again.

He thought that other than his father, she was the only one in the world who treated him well…

“Thank you, V. I want to be with you,” Liao Nai said in a childish voice.

Little V: “Alright, goodbye, Little Master. May you spend every day happily.”

After Liao Nai bid farewell to Little V politely, he moved over a small stool to help his aunt.

“Aunt, what is this?”

Liao Nai was like a cute curious child as he pointed at the ingredients and asked about them one by one. Liao Ning introduced them one by one until the delicious tomato soup was served.

Cabbage, pork slices, bean sprouts, and Liao Ning’s homemade starch meatballs filled the entire round table.

As Liao Nai held his bowl, he watched as the food went into the pot and started getting cooked. He looked forward to the food entering his bowl and kept wiping his saliva.

When Liao Ningsheng gave it to him, Liao Nai took a bite despite the heat. The taste was simply amazing.

After the two of them enjoyed the meal, Liao Ning was happy to see Liao Nai lying on the sofa with a satisfied expression.

The system in her mind also notified her that the villain’s evil value had decreased by 10%.

It turned out that delicious food was so powerful!

Liao Ning was overjoyed.

“Aunt, let me do it.” After Liao Nai stretched on the sofa, he suddenly realized that this happiness had come too suddenly.

He realized belatedly that he couldn’t dwell in pleasure. He had to learn to cherish it so that his happiness could last longer.

His father had taught him that.

Liao Nai ran to help clean up.

Liao Ning’s heart softened. Since this child was so sensible, she had to give him more meat.

But after Liao Nai took away the dishes in her hand, she realized that there were black footprints from behind Liao Nai.

Looking at Liao Nai’s flimsy clothes and dirty body, Liao Ning fell into deep thought. Should she give him a bath first?

“Xiaonai.”

Liao Ning stopped Liao Nai, who was about to turn on the tap.

“What’s wrong, Aunt?” Liao Nai turned around. He had no idea that Liao Ning’s decision would blow his mind.

“Let’s take a bath together,” Liao Ning said seriously.
