Hearing Enoch's words, Xia Ning's face changed immediately. She looked in Qiao Yu's direction awkwardly.

Just at this time, Qiao Yu looked up and met Xia Ning's eyes.

Xia Ning had the urge to dig a hole in the ground. She looked down at Enoch and said, “Don't talk nonsense. Mummy is not hungry.”

“But I heard… Hm…” Enoch was about to say something when Xia Ning reached out and covered his mouth.

Xia Ning lowered her head and felt a shadow coming from the side. Needless to say, it was Qiao Yu who stood up.

She glanced at him from the corner of her eyes and saw him walking out of the living room. She felt a little relieved. He said he would not have dinner tonight. He did not get hungry but her stomach growled instead. It was so embarra.s.sing.

“Help me.” Suddenly, Qiao Yu's voice sounded.

“Huh?” Xia Ning looked up at Qiao Yu with confusion. His back was to her.

“Cook!” Qiao Yu walked to the kitchen without looking back.

Xia Ning was surprised. Didn't they say they would not have dinner tonight?!

“Mummy, go cook. I'm hungry.” Enoch looked at Xia Ning with antic.i.p.ation.

Xia Ning suddenly had an illusion that the little guy was saying she was hungry on purpose to get Qiao Yu's attention.

But such a young kid should not be that scheming. Plus, how did he know Qiao Yu would cook when he heard she was hungry? Maybe she was overthinking.

Xia Ning touched Enoch's head. “Sure. Mummy will cook with Daddy now. Be good and play here.”

“Yes!” Enoch nodded immediately.

Xia Ning put Enoch on the sofa and walked to the kitchen. Even though she did not know how to face Qiao Yu, for the sake of her son, she had to rush forward.

Enoch looked at Xia Ning's back and blinked his starry eyes. He knew that as long as he brought up Mummy, he would be able to move Daddy. Hehe, there is going to be food soon.

In the kitchen, Qiao Yu was searching in the fridge.

Xia Ning took a look at the table. There were a few boxes of frozen beef and some vegetables on it. There was a lot of food. She darted a look at the tall figure and asked, “Do you want to cook?”

“Hotpot!” Qiao Yu answered concisely.

Xia Ning's eyes moved. She wanted to ask why he would want that, but seeing his cold face, she pressed her lips together and swallowed what she wanted to say. She walked to the sink quietly to wash the vegetables.

On the side, Qiao Yu was cutting ginger on the chopping board. She darted a look at his cold face and pressed her lips together. It was better not to talk. She felt that he did not really want to talk to her.

Qiao Yu prepared everything he needed and started to make hotpot. Xia Ning watched from the side and washed all the dishes at the same time.

The sauce was put in the cooker. It was red and spicy, making Xia Ning's stomach hurt a little just by looking. But it was fine as long as Qiao Yu liked it. She walked over and was about to take it out when a hand stopped her.

Xia Ning looked up at the man next to her in confusion. “What's wrong?”

“I'm afraid you might drop it,” Qiao Yu looked at her and said calmly. He picked up the cooker and walked out.

Xia Ning was surprised. Seeing Qiao Yu's back, she suddenly remembered that he said something similar before. She smiled suddenly. He was obviously afraid that she would be scalded. This man…
