Chapter 124: Frying Steak Together
After Xi Jiu finished speaking, he turned and went into the kitchen.
Soon, the clatter of pots and pans could be heard in the kitchen. Ruan Qi looked at the man busy at the kitchen counter, surprise flashing in her beautiful peach blossom eyes.
...Jiujiu can cook now?
Because the Xi family was so wealthy and had a team of chefs, Xi Jiu rarely went into the kitchen. Later, he formed the Q Base and often led people on missions. His wilderness survival skills were excellent, but they were limited to building a fire to grill meat or making instant soup.
Xi Jiu didn't have a big appetite, and his only requirement for food was to fill his stomach, so before he was with Ruan Qi, he didn't even know which restaurant in the capital was good.
Later, the two got together. The girl loved to eat, so he began to collect all kinds of delicacies in the capital. The idle Xi family chef team finally no longer had to live a life of idleness.
Ruan Qi knew that Xi Jiu cared about her and was willing to do anything for her, but she didn't expect Xi Jiu to learn how to cook.
Of course, in modern society, men and women are equal, and it is common for men to cook. But the problem is, Xi Jiu is busy.
The Xi family's businesses span the globe, and he single-handedly supports them all. Even though Xi Jiu often spends time with Ruan Qi, he squeezes in that time. He'll work day and night while Ruan Qi is filming or rushing to work on a schedule, then squeeze in a day or two of vacation to spend time with the girl.
During the days when Ruan Qi was not around, he was constantly in meetings, sometimes even flying to four or five cities a day. He couldn't even eat properly, let alone learn to cook.
So, at this moment, Ruan Qi was a little surprised when she saw the man busy in the kitchen, and then she felt distressed.
She stood up and walked quickly to the kitchen door.
At that moment, Xi Jiu stood at the counter, his back to her, preparing a steak. His shoulders were broad, and beneath his black shirt, he displayed a powerful frame. He lowered his head, tapping the steak with his knife. With each movement, the muscles in his shoulders and arms flexed slightly, revealing his sexy, firm lines.
Ruan Qi stared at his back for a while, then suddenly walked up and hugged his waist from behind.
Xi Jiu paused with the knife in his hand.
"Baby?"
"Hmm." The little girl who was clinging to his back rubbed her head against his waist. "Jiujiu, I'm hungry."
Xi Jiu looked at the little girl's hands on her waist and chuckled softly.
He gently scratched the back of her hand with his fingers that were not stained with oil. "Baby, wait a little longer, it will be fine soon. Go to the restaurant and rest first."
"don't want."
Ruan Qi tightened her grip around his waist, "I want to be with you!"
The soft little girl was sweet and clingy, her warm body pressed tightly against his back. Xi Jiu tightened his grip on the knife, feeling that this position was a bit dangerous.
Ruan Qi didn't notice his abnormality, and leaned on his back and asked curiously: "Jiujiu, when did you learn to cook?"
Xi Jiu tried hard to ignore the soft touch on his back. His throat rolled and he replied in a hoarse voice, "Last month."
After saying that, without waiting for the girl to ask any more questions, he directly pulled her arms away from his waist.
"Baby, I'm going to fry the steak. Stand away, be careful not to get burned."
Xi Jiu didn't want to get into trouble before he even finished his meal. He let go of the little girl's hand, walked quickly to the gas hood, poured oil into the wok, and methodically placed the steak in according to the chef's instructions.
The steak slid into the pan and the hot oil made a sizzling sound.
Xi Jiu took the spatula and skillfully picked up the steak. Just as he was about to flip it over, the little girl's soft, boneless hands once again wrapped around his waist.
Bang!
The spatula shook.
The steak fell into the pot awkwardly, hot oil splashed, flames shot up, and the person was burning all over.
