Chapter 149 You blew up the kitchen yourself, and now you expect me and Green Bean to take the blame?
Sunday evening.
Sang Ning is in charge of the first period of evening self-study class.
It was past 8:30 when I got home from school after finishing my work.
The elevator stopped on the ninth floor and opened. Sang Ning got out of the elevator, took out her keys, and walked towards 902. Just as she was about to open her own door, the door was opened from the inside with a "click".
Sang Ning looked up and saw a familiar, tall figure darting out.
The two almost collided, but fortunately Jing Muchi saw her and stopped in time.
"You, you're back?"
Jing Muchi instinctively closed the door.
Seeing him so flustered for the first time, Sang Ning was a little surprised and couldn't help but ask, "Are you going out?"
As Sang Ning finished speaking, she noticed that the hair on his forehead seemed a little wet, with a few strands hanging down in front of his forehead.
Under her gaze, Jing Muchi intentionally or unintentionally raised his hand to wipe his face, avoiding her gaze. "Uh...yes, yes, go out."
Sang Ning didn't pay much attention, just said "Oh," and walked past him to continue opening the door.
"Eh."
Jing Muchi reacted drastically, grabbing her tightly. "What...are you doing?"
Sang Ning looked up at her, puzzled. "I'm going home."
"Don't go back."
Jing Muchi grabbed her arm and started walking outside. "Um... I'm hungry. Come with me for a late-night snack."
"I'm not going."
Sang Ning pulled her hand away from his, "I haven't finished writing my lesson plan yet."
Jing Muchi's tall figure blocked the doorway again. "Be good, come back and write later, okay?"
Sang Ning looked at him in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
Why do you look like you're terrified of her coming into the house?
The more he acted this way, the more uneasy Sang Ning felt.
"Get out of the way, I need to go in."
She reached out to push him away, but the man's tall body seemed to be nailed to the spot, unable to budge an inch.
“Jing Muchi, strictly speaking, this is my home.”
Sang Ning pushed up her glasses, looked up and glared at him, "Get out of my way."
Jing Muchi stared at her for a few seconds, and finally coughed lightly, "I'll let you in, but it's agreed that you... can't get angry."
Sang Ning frowned, looking at his awkward expression suspiciously. "Did you do something bad?"
"I……"
Jing Muchi had just opened his mouth guiltily when the woman took advantage of his inattention to push him away and quickly opened the door and went inside.
Five seconds later, Jing Muchi, standing by the door, heard a scream from inside, followed by a furious shout, "Jing Muchi—"
Jing Muchi scratched his head, forced himself to walk into the house, and then saw the woman standing outside the kitchen glaring at him, pointing at the kitchen, and angrily asking him, "What's going on here?"
The small kitchen, which she usually kept spotless and tidy, was now a scene of utter devastation, resembling the aftermath of a hurricane.
The place was a complete mess.
The pressure cooker and many kitchen utensils were scattered everywhere. Mung beans and mung bean soup were sprayed all over the floor and the stove. Even the wooden ceiling was not spared.
Jing Muchi awkwardly touched his nose and whispered, "I told you not to go home yet."
He didn't know why the pot of mung bean soup that was cooking suddenly exploded.
In the end, this is how the kitchen ended up.
Seeing that it was time for her to leave work and go home, he quickly called Xu Hui to clean up the mess and planned to stop her outside first. However, he did not expect that she was already at her doorstep.
Why are you messing around in my kitchen?
Sang Ning was furious. "These kitchen utensils are brand new, I've only used them for a little over half a month, and look what you've done to them!"
"I……"
Little did he know... these things were so fragile.
Just as Jing Muchi was wondering how to handle the situation, the doorbell rang.
"Someone's here, I'll go open the door."
He quickly turned around and headed towards the gate.
The person who came was Xu Hui.
When Xu Hui stood outside the kitchen and saw the spectacular scene inside, he was also dumbfounded.
The kitchen didn't look like this when he delivered the ingredients two hours ago.
Xu Hui was still in a daze when the man next to him scolded him with a stern face, "Look at the inferior mung beans you bought, they almost blew up my kitchen."
Xu Hui: "???"
"My wife broke all the new kitchen utensils she bought."
Xu Hui: "..."
That's... really outrageous.
You blew up the kitchen yourself, and now I and Green Bean have to take the blame.
Well, what can you do when someone's the boss?
Adhering to the professional ethics expected of a special assistant and the dedication to handling all matters for the boss, Xu Hui took the blame without hesitation.
"I'm sorry, ma'am."
He turned to Sang Ning and sincerely apologized.
"It was my fault for not selecting the right ingredients. I will find someone to handle it immediately and then provide you with new kitchen utensils."
Jing Muchi then shamelessly walked over, took Sang Ning's hand, and coaxed her softly, "Wife, they've already apologized, so please don't be angry anymore, okay?"
Seeing his subordinates present, Sang Ning didn't say anything more, pulled her hand away from his grasp, and turned to go back to her bedroom.
The bedroom door slammed shut.
Jing Muchi stood there awkwardly for a moment, then said to Xu Hui, "I'll leave this to you."
After saying that, he walked towards the bedroom. After taking two steps, he turned back and added, "Keep it down."
"OK."
Watching him listen to the sounds inside the door before gently opening it and going in, Xu Hui silently shook his head.
I don't know what the boss was thinking. He's a pampered young master who's probably never even stepped foot in the kitchen a few times in his life.
Now he's actually trying to win over his wife by starting with cooking, a completely unfamiliar field?
Jing Muchi entered the bedroom and saw Sang Ning sitting in front of the dressing table making lesson plans.
He silently walked to her side, and seeing that she didn't intend to pay attention to him, he could only cautiously ask, "Are you really angry?"
Sang Ning looked up at him, her face stern, and said, "If you're hungry, go out to eat or order takeout. Why are you messing up my kitchen?"
"Luckily, the kitchen wasn't damaged, otherwise I would have had to pay the landlord compensation."
landlord?
Now she's the landlord herself.
Because she refused to move out, he simply bought the house and put it in her name, but he didn't tell her because he was afraid she wouldn't accept it.
Moreover—
"I'm not hungry, I just..." wanted to make you some dessert.
But thinking about how he had made such a mess of the kitchen, Jing Muchi was too ashamed to say the last sentence.
"Okay, I'll stay away from the kitchen from now on."
He finished speaking in a muffled voice, then stole a glance at her face, "Don't be angry, okay?"
Sang Ning was about to say something when her gaze inadvertently fell on the desk calendar, and she fixed her eyes on it.
The Tuesday after next is the day they will get their divorce certificate.
Finally, she lowered her eyes sadly and said nothing more, simply continuing to do her own thing with her head down, seemingly focused.
Seeing her like this, Jing Muchi assumed she wasn't going to hold it against him anymore, and breathed a sigh of relief. He grinned and clung to her side, being especially attentive, sometimes tucking a pillow behind her back, sometimes making her a cup of tea...
When Sang Ning finished her work and came out of the bedroom, she saw that the kitchen had been cleaned up spotlessly.
It was so clean that... even all the kitchen utensils were gone.
Seeing her staring blankly at the kitchen, Jing Muchi quickly came over to explain, "I had Xu Hui take away those kitchen utensils, and we'll buy a new set tomorrow."
Sang Ning didn't say anything more, just nodded to indicate that she had no objection.
