Chapter 213 I like Western food
This time, Duan Yuchen was silent for a long time and didn't say a word. Qiao Jingyu didn't notice it at first, but as time passed, the surroundings remained quiet. She couldn't help but wonder if Duan Yuchen had left. So, she slowly turned her head to confirm the situation. As a result, she found that Duan Yuchen was still standing quietly in the same place, but at this moment he was frowning slightly, as if he was in deep thought, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking.
After a long while, Duan Yuchen seemed to come back to his senses from deep thought, and said leisurely: "I prefer Western food!"
Hearing this, Qiao Jingyu couldn't help but be stunned and asked in doubt: "Huh?" Because Duan Yuchen's sudden words really made her a little confused.
Then, Duan Yuchen asked again: "Can you do it?"
Qiao Jingyu shook her head gently and replied, "No." Thinking back to the days when she was with Song Chengze in her previous life, they did not live well. At that time, in order to make Song Chengze dress decently, she rarely bought new clothes, and she was very frugal in her daily life, so how could she be willing to buy expensive ingredients to make Western food! So she really knew nothing about making Western food.
Duan Yuchen paused for a moment after listening to this, and then continued: "Well, then study hard in the future. Tomorrow I will ask Feng Bo to find a professional Western chef, and then you can take the time to learn from him. Of course, you don't need to do it often, just once in a while will be fine." After that, he fell silent again, and seemed to start thinking about other things.
Qiao Jingyu stared at Duan Yuchen in front of her with suspicion, and kept asking herself: Why did he make such a request? Just because she had learned to cook home-cooked dishes for Song Chengze, now he wanted to learn to cook Western food himself? Could it be that he was jealous?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Qiao Jingyu quickly denied it. She looked at Duan Yuchen and saw that his face was as calm as water, without any sign of jealousy.
"How is it possible..." Qiao Jingyu muttered to herself, "A man of such high status as Duan Yuchen usually enjoys delicacies from land and sea, so it must be difficult for him to adapt to home-cooked meals. Perhaps he was just expressing his personal opinion. Yes, that must be it!" Thinking of this, Qiao Jingyu felt relieved and regarded Duan Yuchen's words as a joke. Besides, the time she spent with Duan Yuchen was limited, and the opportunity to cook for him was even rarer, so she agreed without thinking.
When it was time to eat, the dining table was filled with a warm and joyful atmosphere. Luo Huimin ate with relish, enjoying the food with a satisfied smile on her face. She praised Qiao Jingyu's superb cooking skills: "Xiaochen, you have a really good eye! You can find such a virtuous daughter-in-law who is both talented and beautiful, and who can both be a lady in the living room and a good cook in the kitchen. In today's world, young girls who are good at cooking are rare!
Qiao Jingyu's cheeks were flushed, like a ripe apple. She lowered her head shyly and silently picked at the food in the bowl, as if she wanted to hide herself. At this time, Duan Yuchen, who was sitting opposite her, had a faint smile on his face. When Qiao Jingyu glanced up inadvertently, her heart trembled. For some reason, this smile gave her an illusion, as if he was silently saying in his heart: "Of course, my wife is the best."
Qiao Jingyu quickly shook her head, trying to dispel this strange thought. She thought to herself, "I must be overthinking. How could I see such a gentle and doting expression on a grown man's face?" However, despite her efforts to convince herself, the scene just now seemed to be deeply imprinted in her mind and could not be shaken off.
At this moment, Luo Huimin looked at Qiao Jingyu expectantly and asked carefully, "Jingyu, if grandma comes to your place for a meal occasionally in the future, please don't think grandma is annoying." As soon as she finished speaking, as if she was worried that Qiao Jingyu would refuse, she quickly added, "I don't need you to prepare anything delicious for me. I'll just eat what you usually eat. Is that okay?"
Facing Luo Huimin's earnest request and expectant eyes, Qiao Jingyu really couldn't say no. So she nodded gently to show her agreement. But in her heart, Qiao Jingyu secretly guessed that this old lady, who had always lived a life of luxury and tasted all kinds of delicacies, might just be feeling a sense of novelty about home-cooked meals. After eating it once or twice, the novelty would wear off and she would naturally not come back again.
After dinner, Qiao Jingyu cleaned up the kitchen and came out. It was already eight o'clock in the evening. Luo Huimin was sitting in the living room watching TV, and Duan Yuchen was now making a phone call by the window.
"Jingyu, come here." Seeing Qiao Jingyu coming out of the kitchen, Luo Huimin smiled and called Qiao Jingyu over.
Qiao Jingyu smiled and sat next to Luo Huimin.
Luo Huimin held Qiao Jingyu's hand affectionately, "Are you tired?"
Qiao Jingyu shook her head, "Grandma, I'm not tired."
"I told you I would wash the dishes, but you wouldn't let me."
Qiao Jingyu could only smile awkwardly. How dare she let Old Madam Duan wash the dishes?
Luo Huimin enthusiastically pulled Qiao Jingyu to her side and began to chat about family matters. The two talked about daily life and neighborhood gossip. Before they knew it, about twenty minutes had passed. At this moment, Duan Yuchen, who had just finished his phone call, strode over. Perhaps because the topic that Luo Huimin and Qiao Jingyu were talking about was too trivial for him to interrupt, he turned and walked towards Qiao Jingyu's room.
Last time, Qiao Jingyu took Duan Yuchen to familiarize herself with the layout of the house. Unexpectedly, his memory was so good. It was as if he had a precise positioning system installed. He found Qiao Jingyu's room easily and accurately.
As time passed slowly and steadily, every minute seemed to be stretched out. Luo Huimin's face, which had been full of energy, gradually showed obvious fatigue, but she still held Qiao Jingyu's hand tightly and refused to let go, as if she had no intention of ending the conversation and getting up to go home.
However, from the moment Duan Yuchen walked into Qiao Jingyu's room, Qiao Jingyu's mind became a little confused. Although her mouth was still responding to Luo Huimin's words, her eyes drifted towards the bedroom from time to time, and she thought to herself: What on earth did Duan Yuchen want to do in my room? Why did he stay in for so long and not come out? I don't know if the room is clean? And...did he see something he shouldn't see? When she thought of these possibilities, Qiao Jingyu's heartbeat accelerated a little bit.
The next second, I suddenly realized that Duan Yuchen was blind, and I felt relieved.
