Even though Jiaojiao had lived in the countryside for a few years when she was younger, her parents had doted on her like a princess once she returned. No one in the family could bear to make her work.
“Brother, keep your voice down.” Xu Jiaojiao glared at him. “1 was just making breakfast. What are you making a fuss about?”
Xu Zhengyang strode forward and sat opposite her. With a serious expression, he said, “Jiaojiao, tell me the truth. Did Qi Shenbai take advantage of you? If he did, I won’t let him off!”
Xu Jiaojiao placed an omelet on his plate. “Mr. Qi did no such thing. I just like to cook, that’s all. Back home, you guys would make a fuss before I even reached the kitchen door, so I never got to cook.” More than once, the chef had chased her out of the kitchen when she tried to make herself supper in the middle of the night.
She did not look like she was forced to do this at all, so Xu Zhengyang just snorted coldly at Qi Shenbai. “Our family must owe you a debt in our previous life or something. 1 work my butt off for you every day, and my sister makes a feast for you every morning!”
He was totally exaggerating! Xu Jiaojiao could not help but laugh as she lowered her head and continued eating without replying.
Qi Shenbai pretended not to hear Xu Zhengyang’s jabs. After all, Xu Zhengyang was speaking the truth, and he had no way to refute it.
Xu Zhengyang picked up the omelet and ate it. His eyes instantly lit up, and he stood up from the chair excitedly. “Mrgh—”
Xu Jiaojiao raised her head and asked doubtfully, “What’s wrong, Brother?”
“It’s so delicious! How is this so delicious?!” Xu Zhengyang exclaimed. “Jiaojiao, when did you become such a good cook?”
“It was ages ago, okay? You guys were the ones who wouldn’t let me use the kitchen. Otherwise, you would’ve had plenty of my delicious cooking over the years.” Xu Jiaojiao shrugged helplessly.
“This taste is really amazing. It’s even better than the breakfast in most five-star hotels!” Xu Zhengyang heaped praise on her as he kept stuffing all kinds of food into his mouth.
“Then eat more. I made plenty to go around.” Xu Jiaojiao saw that his plate was empty, so she served him more food.
Qi Shenbai usually ate at a leisurely pace. By the time he had slowly finished eating, Xu Zhengyang had already polished an entire plate of omelets and two bowls of wontons. The small pot that was originally filled with wontons was almost completely empty!
“I’m full…” Xu Zhengyang burped, satisfied.
Qi Shenbai looked at the empty dining table.”…” Could he still change his mind and kick Xu Zhengyang out of his house?
“Jiaojiao, can you make other dishes too?” Xu Zhengyang asked as he wiped his lips.
“I know how to make most basic home-cooked dishes. What do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you tonight.”
“Black pepper beef, squirrel fish, braised pork knuckle, salt-baked chicken, roasted lamb leg, and a Buddha Jumps Over the Wall would be perfect.”
Qi Shenbai glanced at him coldly. “Do you think you’re ordering dishes at a restaurant?” Most importantly, even he had never tasted these dishes.
Xu Zhengyang ignored him and looked at his sister expectantly.
“Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup is too time-consuming,” Xu Jiaojiao said after some consideration. “I can make the rest for you tonight.”
Qi Shenbai thought to himself, ’Aren’t you spoiling him roo much?’
Just as Xu Zhengyang was about to clap and cheer, his phone suddenly rang. It was Mr. Xu, his father. Xu Zhengyang picked up the call, and though the others did not know what Mr. Xu was saying, they could see his expression becaming darker and darker. He gritted his teeth so hard that they were about to shatter.
“What happened?” Xu Jiaojiao asked with concern when she saw Xu Zhengyang’s expression.
“The Lu Family went to our place to raise a fuss.” Xu Zhengyang stood up and said to Qi Shenbai, “I’m taking the day off today. I’m going home to kill them.” As expected, the Lu Family was trying to get justice for Lu Zhuo. As the instigator, Xu Zhengyang had to step in. After saying that, he turned to leave without waiting for Qi Shenbai’s reply.
“I want to go too! 1 can’t let you face them alone.” Xu Jiaojiao stood up and followed him.
Xu Zhengyang stopped in his tracks, hesitating. Just as he was wondering if he should take her home with him, Qi Shenbai said calmly, “I’ll go with you two.”
The Xu siblings were struck speechless.
Qi Shenbai stood up slowly, his expression composed. “Everyone in your family knows that we’re married. What will they think if I don’t go back with you?”
Xu Jiaojiao thought about it and felt that Qi Shenbai’s words made a lot of sense, so she did not turn him down. Meanwhile, Xu Zhengyang rolled his eyes at him. At least the scumbag knew that he was only her husband in name..
