Chapter 146 Bai Yi's cooking is like a Hongmen Banquet
"Yingzhen and I are just good friends. I don't have any other feelings for her. You don't have to worry about that." Bai Yi explained.
After hearing her say this, Bai Jingyuan was even more confused.
Isn't Liu Yingzhen the only one I know who has always been by my daughter's side and is excellent enough? Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to this conclusion based on the last conversation and the information just now.
So who does this kid like?
While he was thinking about this, he heard his daughter suddenly ask: "What are you having for lunch?"
"They are some local specialties. Our family specially invited a famous chef from here."
"The foreign specialties aren't very tasty, can you prepare Chinese food?"
Bai Jingyuan felt that something was wrong with his daughter, as if something was different, but he couldn't tell for a moment. He could only answer, "We have a chef we brought from China, but they just took their annual leave to go back to China to spend the summer vacation with their children, so they won't be back until next week."
"In that case, I'll cook, but we can also ask the local chef to make some local dishes."
Bai Jingyuan asked in surprise: "When did you learn to cook?"
"When I was studying abroad, I lived in a factory dormitory for a period of time for the convenience of work, and then I taught myself some cooking skills."
Bai Jingyuan really didn't know about this. He only knew that the kid went directly to the overseas branch's factory to learn technology during his high school summer vacation. That was when the branch was developing at its best momentum. The kid ran between the company and several factories for two whole months and hardly had a break.
But I didn't know that this child lived directly in the factory dormitory and even learned to cook. This really surprised me.
When Shi Yu and Ning Yuechen came back from their walk, a servant came up to them and said respectfully, "Madam, Miss Ning, please follow me to the restaurant for dinner."
"We can go by ourselves." said Shi Yu.
"Ok."
The two came to the restaurant in the basement and smelled a strong aroma of food as soon as they entered.
Shi Yu couldn't help but mutter to herself: "Aren't the two Chinese chefs at home still on vacation? Why did they come back suddenly?"
Ning Yuechen felt that the aroma was very appetizing, so he said, "I smell this, it should be stir-fried shrimp, right? I thought I could only eat those dry Western food today, but I didn't expect to be able to eat authentic hometown dishes."
Seeing her so happy, Shi Yu's attention was diverted, and he said with a smile: "You have a Chinese stomach. Every time you travel abroad, you always lose weight when you come back. Fortunately, you didn't go abroad to study, otherwise you would be starving now."
Ning Yuechen hugged her affectionately, and said coquettishly, "Even if I'm as hungry as a little greedy cat, I'm still your child, Aunt Shi."
Shi Yu was stunned for a moment, then he touched her cheek with loving eyes, and said in an extremely gentle voice: "Yes, you are my child."
As they talked, they came to the dining room and saw Bai Jingyuan sitting in the middle of the long dining table. He was looking silently in the direction of the kitchen, wondering what he was thinking.
Seeing them come in, a smile appeared on his face and he said, "Sit down, you are in for a treat today."
Ning Yuechen felt that there was something else behind his words, but he didn't think much about it. He responded politely and helped Aunt Shi sit down at the dining table.
After a moment of silence, Bai Jingyuan asked, "Are you adapting to college life?"
Ning Yuechen replied casually: "Very good."
"I just heard that you work part-time outside. What kind of work is it usually?"
Ning Yuechen glanced at Shi Yu beside him and found that she was also waiting for him to answer this question, so he said, "It's a florist, a tutor, etc., which are relatively easy jobs."
"That's not bad. This kind of part-time job has a relatively high salary."
At this time, Shi Yu said, "Don't work part-time after school starts. It's not safe for a girl like you to travel around outside. I'll give you a card later, and you can use the money in it when you go back."
Ning Yuechen hurriedly said, "Aunt Shi, I really have money, you don't have to give me any more. I promise you that after school starts, I will not work part-time and will stay in school."
"You must keep your promise to Aunt Shi."
"Okay, I will. When have I ever lied to you?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a row of servants carrying food trays came out, placed the delicious food on the dining table in an orderly manner, and then left silently.
Shi Yu looked at the food on the table and asked, "Is this made by the chef at home?"
This was different from what she usually ate. Just as she was wondering, she saw someone walking out of the kitchen. When she looked up, she was shocked by what she saw.
Ning Yuechen stared blankly at Bai Yi who was wearing an apron, then looked at the dishes in front of him and blinked, still unable to believe that these delicacies were made by her.
In this eerie silence, Bai Jingyuan was the first to speak: "Yiyi will cook today, let's taste her cooking together."
Bai Yi took off her apron, sat down opposite Ning Yuechen, poured a bowl of soup and placed it in front of her, saying, "You've been on the plane for such a long time, drink some soup first."
Shi Yu and Bai Jingyuan looked at her at the same time with complicated expressions.
Ning Yuechen faced the two gazes and kicked Bai Yi with his foot under the table, signaling her not to make such an obvious move.
However, the person who was warned didn't care at all and continued to do his own thing and said, "How about trying it? If you like it, I will continue to make it for you after returning home."
When she said this, her eyes were fixed on Ning Yuechen.
Shi Yu didn't react to what happened for a while, but subconsciously thought that Bai Yi was playing some tricks again. However, Bai Jingyuan, who was sitting in the main seat, had an ugly expression on his face.
He looked at Ning Yuechen, who almost buried his head in the bowl, calmly, and his guess was confirmed, and his face darkened for a moment.
Even so, he still couldn't believe that the person his daughter liked was Ning Yuechen.
This possibility, which had almost no probability, actually happened. He could not accept it no matter what.
It was in this dining environment where everyone was thinking about their own things that Bai Yi asked, "Is it delicious?"
Shi Yu and Bai Jingyuan didn't say anything, they also knew that the other party was not asking about them.
In this quiet atmosphere, Ning Yuechen could only bite the bullet and reply: "It tastes okay."
"I haven't cooked much since I returned to China. I just tasted some of the food and found that my cooking skills have indeed declined. I can study cooking more carefully after I return."
Ning Yuechen really wanted to shut her up! But she was afraid that this person would say something shocking again, so she could only respond, "It's fine as long as you like it."
Bai Yi glanced at her and said, "The Chinese chef at home is not here these days, so I will be in charge of cooking. Tell me what you want to eat."
Hearing her say this, Bai Jingyuan, as the biological father, instantly changed his mood from anger to sadness.
The child that I raised with great difficulty, not only did he not cook the first meal in his life for himself, but even when he stayed at my place for a few days, he only thought about cooking for others.
Why didn't he ask what he liked to eat? His son, who was only interested in scientific research, even called to ask if he needed anything so that he could buy it and send it to him.
It is said that a daughter is a father’s sweet and caring little cotton-padded jacket, but why is it the opposite when it comes to me?
What an unfilial daughter!
