âSince youâve said so, Iâll show you what I can do.â
âI havenât decided on anything for todayâs lunch yet, so Iâll eat here.â
Lin Yiâs confidence was entirely due to the Sageâs wisdom.
Although he was not as good as Michelinâs three-star chefs, he was still better than ordinary chefs.
It was not a problem for them to cook up a table full of delicious dishes.
âSure, Iâll give you my best wishes in advance. Donât let your food spoil your stomach. Would you like to use my bathroom later?â
âWeâll see about that.â
Lin Yi did not waste any more words and went downstairs with his phone.
Since the things he wanted to buy were all meat and vegetables, Lin Yi went to the Carrefour supermarket near Chaoyang Group and bought everything in twenty minutes.
Steak, lobster, caviar, and a lot of fresh organic vegetables were all laid out on the table. In total, it cost almost 10,000 dollars.
âIâm going to start cooking now. You can go to the cafeteria since thereâs no food for you yet.â
âIâm not going.â Ji Qingyan gloated. âAre you trying to get rid of me because youâre afraid of being embarrassed?â
âIâm afraid youâll die of hunger.â
âIâm not hungry.â Qingyan retorted.
âIâll just wait here and watch you make a fool of yourself so you wonât try to brag in front of me.â
âThen let me talk with my skills.â
As he spoke, Lin Yi entered Qingyanâs kitchen and found that it was a whole different world inside. There were all kinds of equipment there.
Seeing this, Lin Yi could not help but laugh. She had prepared a whole kitchen setup for herself, yet claimed that she was not hungry.
Who was she kidding?
Ding-dong-dong
After about twenty minutes, Lin Yi walked out of the kitchen with four dishes and a soup.
Lobster with garlic cheese, beef tenderloin with Hangzhou Pepper, scrambled eggs with persimmon, and seaweed egg drop soup.
Looking at the four simple and exquisite dishes, Ji Qingyanâs big, beautiful eyes twinkled, and the biscuit in her hand almost fell to the ground.
Taste aside, just the looks and color were really good.
Especially the lobster with cheese, which seemed to be very delicious.
âLin Yi, you made so much delicious food.â Ji Qingyan put down the biscuit and said with a smile, her face pale.
âIs it too much? I usually eat this much.â
âYou eat all this yourself?â
âYeah, didnât you say you werenât going to eat it? I made enough for one person.â Lin Yi said.
âActually, I really like biscuits, but the Doctor said that I have a bad stomach and canât eat too much of it. Iâm really envious of you. You can eat anything you want, but I canât.â
Kacha!
Ji Qingyan took a bite of the biscuit and started munching on it.
âYeah, the biscuits are really delicious. If you donât eat them, you might die from hunger.â
âYes, yes, I am so jealous. The dishes I make are neither good-looking nor delicious. They are just like pig food. I am so pitiful.â
As he spoke, Lin Yi took big mouthfuls of the food, filling his mouth with the fragrant oils.
The more Lin Yi ate, the more he wanted to cry because his food was so good.
Ka-chow!
Ka-chow!
Ka-chow!
Lin Yi was eating vigorously, but Ji Qingyan was eating even more vigorously!
She was not trying to fight for the mantou, she was trying to fight for her pride!
She could not lose.
However, as she ate, Ji Qingyan choked.
âLin Yi, Iâm choking.â
âYou should drink some water.â
âWater isnât good.â
âThen what do you want to Do? Do you want me to send you to the hospital?â
âNo, just let me drink some of your soup.â
Pfftt!
Lin Yiâs snot almost burst out due to his laughter. âDidnât you say that my food was pig food? And you said that a woman always keeps her word? Can you really drink it?â
âDonât be mad at me.â Ji Qingyan said as if she had been wronged. âDonât eat it. Thereâs not much left. Save some for me.â
Ji Qingyan walked over in her high heels.
It was not the first time she had lost face in front of him anyway. She did not want to miss the food this time.
âItâs all my leftovers. Donât eat it.â
âHow dare you say that? You ate it yourself and didnât save any for me. I wonât be with you anymore.â Ji Qingyan said angrily.
âI even left you some mango juice in the fridge. How dare you treat me like this.â
Lin Yi chuckled. âIâm a little thirsty. Go get the mango juice from the fridge.â
âI can help you get the juice, but letâs make a deal. You canât touch the food on the table. Even if youâre not full, you canât eat it. The rest is mine.â
âOkay.â
âDonât try to cheat me. Iâve memorized the shape of the food. If you touch it, weâll break up.â
âHuh? What position are we in to be breaking up?â
âWeâre not in any position. but Iâll definitely not be with you.â
âOkay, okay, okay. Youâre dying of hunger, so just go get me the juice.â
âOkay.â
Ji Qingyan went into the kitchen, but she screamed as soon as she went in.
âAh! Lin Yi!â
âWhat are you yelling for?â
âYou actually saved me a portion.â
Lin Yi smiled. âHurry up and eat it, itâll be cold soon.â
âHehe, youâre so nice.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
A few minutes later, the mango juice and other dishes were taken out.
âWhy did you only eat half of the lobster and give me the other half?â
âYouâre tired from work. Eat more, greedy cat.â
Ji Qingyanâs cheeks were flushed with happiness.
âDonât drink that mango juice either.â
âThen what should I drink?â
âJust you wait.â
Ji Qingyan found her bag and used a makeup remover to wipe off the lipstick on her thin lips. She put on a layer of mango-flavored lipstick and gently kissed Lin Yi on the cheek.
âChef Lin, this is your reward. Iâll give you a five-star review later.â
âNot bad, not bad. Your skills are much better now,â Lin Yi said. âI think itâll be better if you practice more in the future.â
âHmph, youâre so naughty.â
Ji Qingyan couldnât help but have a taste of Lin Yiâs Hangzhou Pepper beef tenderloin. Although it was a little spicy, it was super delicious.
âLin Yi, this is so delicious!â Ji Qingyan was dancing with excitement, âIâve never eaten such delicious food in a restaurant before. Youâre so busy every day. When did you learn to cook? Iâve been practicing for a long time, but I still havenât learned to cook like this.â
âIf you say that, weâll have to start discussing talent.â
âTsk, could you gloat any more?â
Lin Yi smiled. âEat more if itâs good.â
âYeah, yeah, but if you eat too much, you have to accompany me to lose weight. By then, I wonât be able to eat good food, but neither will you.â
âFine, fine, fine. Iâll do whatever you say.â
Lin Yi was lost in thought as he looked at the cute way Ji Qingyan ate. He asked,
âOh right, did you call me this morning for something?â
âItâs not a big deal.â Ji Qingyan said.
âYouâre Party A now, and Iâm Party Bâs Party B. I want to go to Wangjiang Dock this afternoon. Do you want to come along? If you have any other opinions, you can let me know.â
âI think you want to go to the scene, but you donât want to drive yourself. You want me to be the driver.â
âSmart.â
âIâll go with you this afternoon. Then, I can also check the progress of the project.â
âOkay.â
Ji Qingyan did not eat very quickly. It took her half an hour to finish the meal.
After the meal, Ji Qingyan took the initiative to take away the leftovers.
âWhy did you put it away?â Lin Yi asked
âThereâs so much left. Itâd be a waste to throw it away. Thereâs a lunch box in the kitchen, so Iâll bring it back tonight. You donât have to take the peppers inside, but you have to keep the meat.â
âYouâre right.â
Lin Yiâs face broke into a fatherly smile.
This little Missy was quite virtuous after all.
