"No, no, no …" "There's nothing inconvenient about it!" "Just a little surprised, ma'am. You never used to go into the kitchen."

Qiao Anxiao smiled awkwardly and said, "Was I like this before?"

She felt as if she had found the reason why he was neither cold nor hot to her.

Perhaps it had never been his intention to marry her. She had a bad temper in the past, so she didn't go to the kitchen, but instead … How could a man like Fu Siming like her like that?

"If you really want to learn, then come with me."

"Thank you!"

Qiao Anxiao followed the butler into the kitchen. After preparing the ingredients, he began to seriously study.

The whole afternoon was spent in the kitchen.

When the dishes were ready, Steward Zheng praised sincerely,

"It's already amazing that Madam can cook these for the first time."

Qiao Anyun happily smiled and asked, "Butler, you're the one who taught us well."

The butler nodded and smiled. "If mister knows that Madam is personally cooking for him …"

Eh, Qiao Anxiao was stunned. Could it be that Steward Zheng had misunderstood something?

She didn't cook for the man.

Just when Joanna thought she might never see her husband again, the butler said that Mr. Fu was coming back tonight.

She felt that she should prepare something. When she thought of the few dishes she had practiced with the steward for the past two days, she felt that she was the only one who could take this out now.

The closer it was to the time that Fu Siming arrived at his home, the more indescribably nervous Qiao Anxian felt. She also didn't know why.

After almost a week of not seeing him, and meeting him again, Joanna noticed that he was completely different from the last time. His hair was not neatly combed like the last time, but let it hang down naturally.

Although he was still wearing a suit, it was a casual camel-colored suit. He looked a lot younger and gentler now.

"Sir."

The butler took the coat from him and let the servant hang it up.

"S..." "Si Ming." Qiao Anzhi awkwardly called out his name, walking to his side, wanting to speak but then stopping.

"Hmm?" His gaze immediately swept over her, indicating that she wanted to speak.

"I... I made you something to eat. Would you like to try it? "

He looked at her suspiciously. He saw that she still had her apron on, and there was an indescribable disharmony.

"I didn't know that you could cook?"

Fu Siming narrowed his eyes slightly, causing Qiao Anzhi to shiver.

"Sir, Madam has been practicing culinary arts with Steward Zheng every day for the past few days. You sure are considerate."

"That's right, even the butler said that Madam is extremely talented."

"Oh? "Is that so?"

A smile appeared on Fu Siming's face, but he was sneering in his heart. It's only been a few days, but she's already bribed and bought all of the servants in the house to the point of being submissive.

"You're not stupid enough to poison me, are you?"

"Poison?" Joanna looked at him blankly, not understanding what he meant.

What was he talking about? From the time she had awakened until now, she had not understood a single word of what they had said.

However, Fu Siming didn't plan on explaining himself to her. He changed the subject and calmly said, "Take it out."

The servant immediately went to the kitchen and brought out the dishes. He then served the rice and set them on the table.

With an expressionless face, Fu Siming picked up the chopsticks and nibbled on them. When he put them into his mouth, his expression changed slightly. In just an instant, he returned to his previous appearance.

"How is it?" Joanna's eyes were full of expectation, hoping to hear a compliment from him.

Fu Siming's thin lips pursed. He put down his chopsticks and stared at Qiao Anxiao for a long time before slowly speaking up. "I don't have the desire to eat a second bite."

"Huh?" After suffering such a blow, how could it be possible? Even the housekeeper had praised her. How could she not have the desire to make someone else eat a second bite?

"Such a simple seafood fried egg, the egg is all paste. And this green pepper corn, it doesn't seem to have any appetite at all. So how many peppers did you put in this osmanthus fish?"

Johann stared at him blankly. He didn't expect that the first time he heard Fu Siming speak so much to him in one breath, it was actually in such a situation.

Looking at the dumbfounded expression Qiao An was showing in front of her, did she really think that he would praise her?

"If you don't understand, then let me make it simpler." Fu Siming wiped his mouth and calmly said, "It's extremely difficult to eat."

Hearing this, the woman felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her.

"I'm sorry." Dismayed, Joanna turned and went upstairs.

Being told nothing in front of so many people, she could think of no other way to make herself less awkward than to slink back into the room.
