Chapter 181 - It's My Fault

After getting the kitchen staff to prepare the ingredients, Xia Wanyuan gave everyone a break.

After finis.h.i.+ng his work, he walked downstairs and saw that the living room was empty. Jun s.h.i.+ling looked around but did not see Xia Wanyuan.

"Young Master, Madam is cooking in the kitchen."

Before Jun s.h.i.+ling could speak, Uncle w.a.n.g stepped forward and informed him of Xia Wanyuan's movements.

Jun s.h.i.+ling walked to the kitchen door and saw Xia Wanyuan, who was busy inside.

The others all had work meals, and Xia Wanyuan only needed to cook for three people. Hence, Xia Wanyuan had prepared three dishes and a soup, and she was cooking pork ribs in the pot.

The boiling soup kept bubbling, making some gurgling noises. A thick fragrance floated in the air.

The lights in the kitchen were relatively dim. At that moment, they shone on Xia Wanyuan, making her look very gentle.

Xia Wanyuan, who was wearing an ap.r.o.n, had an extremely graceful waist outlined by a string. Her long seaweed-like hair was simply tied behind her head, and her entire person exuded extreme warmth.

"Are you done?" Xia Wanyuan turned around and was about to put some seasonings into her ribs when she saw Jun s.h.i.+ling standing quietly at the door.

"Mm, why are you cooking yourself?" Jun s.h.i.+ling restrained the emotions in his eyes and walked into the kitchen.

"I'm doing it for you."

"For me?" Xia Wanyuan's short sentence made Jun s.h.i.+ling's heart feel as if it had been soaked in warm water.

"Thank you for the manager you found for me. You're already the richest man in the world. Thinking about it, there's nothing I can give you, so I'll make a meal to thank you." Xia Wanyuan smiled.

"Okay." Jun s.h.i.+ling nodded and rolled up his sleeves. "What do you need me to do?"

"Wash that. I'll cut the tofu." Xia Wanyuan did not stand on ceremony with Jun s.h.i.+ling and pointed at the vegetables on the chopping board.

"Mm." Jun s.h.i.+ling washed the vegetables in the pool while Xia Wanyuan cut the vegetables on the chopping board.

The fragrance of caramel suddenly came from the air. Xia Wanyuan hurriedly walked to the stove and removed the lid. The rich fragrance of meat wafted over.

Xia Wanyuan turned up the fire and gathered the juice fully. The thick soup wrapped around the soft pork ribs, making it look extremely alluring.

Picking up a plate to scoop up the pork ribs, Xia Wanyuan turned to cut the remaining dishes. Unexpectedly, Jun s.h.i.+ling, who had just washed the dishes, turned around too. Xia Wanyuan b.u.mped into Jun s.h.i.+ling's chin.

"Hiss!" Jun s.h.i.+ling was stunned by the collision and exclaimed softly.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Are you okay?" Xia Wanyuan hurriedly took a step back.

"Where's the repayment? I haven't even eaten yet." Jun s.h.i.+ling stroked his chin and looked at Xia Wanyuan with a smile in his eyes.

"But you can't blame me. Who asked you to suddenly turn around?"

Xia Wanyuan did not realize that in front of Jun s.h.i.+ling, she had gradually become 'unreasonable'.

"Mm, it's my fault." Jun s.h.i.+ling smiled, his eyes carrying a hint of undetectable indulgence. "Then leave first. I'll turn around when you're done."

Xia Wanyuan was amused by Jun s.h.i.+ling's words. "Since when does CEO Jun like to make fun of people?"

Jun s.h.i.+ling smiled but did not speak.

By the time the food was ready, Xiao Bao had just returned home. Ever since they found out that Xiao Bao was Jun s.h.i.+ling's son, he had received important care in kindergarten. Finally, no one dared to s.n.a.t.c.h his milk candy anymore.

That night, Jun s.h.i.+ling had three bowls and Xiao Bao had two bowls of rice for dinner. They ate all the food on the table.

"Mommy, the food you make is the best I've ever eaten!"

The corners of Xiao Bao's lips were still stained with pork ribs, making him look like a little cat. As soon as he put down the bowl, he started praising Xia Wanyuan.

"
