Looking at the other party's nonchalant demeanor, Chu Huailin was furious. How come he had never noticed how infuriating his second brother was before?
In my memory, Chu Yuelin has always been the gentle older brother. The eldest brother is more serious and rigid, while the second brother always speaks and acts gently. He would guide him and take him to do what he wanted to do.
But he should be closer to his second brother, who is like this. However, this is not the case. Even though Chu Yuelin is the perfect older brother, he is still closer to his eldest brother.
I used to think it was because Chu Yue was going abroad, but now when I think back, I realize that even when we were together all the time, I was never particularly attached to my second brother.
…
"It smells so good! You can even cook!" Wan Ge exclaimed, turning her gaze to the other person.
The most handsome man held a spatula in one hand and the handle of the pan in the other, skillfully flipping the pan. The sunset outside the window was perfect, making the man in front of him look radiant.
Chu Yuelin explained softly, "I had been living abroad for a while and didn't like their food, so I did some research on my own."
Although Chu Yuelin said that, Wan Ge could sense that he lived alone abroad, unlike now when he had a bunch of servants. He didn't even have a chef abroad.
However, based on my understanding of the Chu family, it's highly likely that Chu Yuelin himself didn't want it. Although he has a good personality, he might very well prefer living alone.
Otherwise, given the Chu family's circumstances, they would never allow their children to suffer in a foreign land.
"That's amazing!" she exclaimed, offering immediate praise.
But at that moment, Chu Huailin also spoke up: "Sister, don't worry, as long as I'm willing to learn, I'll learn it very quickly."
"Yes, I believe you." Wan Ge looked into the other person's eyes, her expression more serious than ever before.
Chu Huailin, having received the praise, turned back and raised an eyebrow at his brother, as if to say, "That's it. Getting close to Wan Ge is that simple, and getting her praise is just as easy."
Chu Yuelin was still focused on cooking, seemingly not even glancing at him.
…
Just as they were about to start their meal, Chu Junlin returned. Looking at the slightly different dishes, he asked with some confusion, "Did we get a new chef?"
Although it still looks extremely delicious, it seems to be lacking in some aspects compared to the original.
Before Chu Yuelin could speak, Chu Huailin spoke up for him: "It was made by your second brother! Aren't you surprised? You didn't expect your second brother to be able to cook, did you?"
Chu Junlin looked at Chu Yuelin. He knew about her life outside, and he had offered suggestions several times, such as improving her living environment and the people who would take care of her.
Chu Junlin hadn't expected that the other person would not only be able to cook, but also cook so well.
Chu Huailin was initially skeptical, but after trying it out, he discovered that his second brother's cooking was truly delicious. Although he felt that his knife skills and other aspects were not as good as the chef's, their family's chefs were all top-notch and extremely experienced. It was normal for Chu Huailin to be inferior to them; it would be abnormal if he could surpass them.
I never expected that the food I'm eating now would be so different from the dishes that chefs seem to put perfection into every single detail.
Chu Yuelin has lived with them for so long, but she never cooked for them before. Now she's so eager to cook for them. Everyone knows what her purpose is.
So, in the past, Chu Junlin would have been happy to praise him in this situation, but now he would only try to maintain a polite smile and reply, "Not bad either."
Chu Yuelin didn't need their approval. She pushed what she thought was her best dish in front of Wan Ge and said, "Miss Lu, please try it."
Wan Ge picked up a dish placed in front of her with her clean white porcelain chopsticks.
The freshness and aroma of the dish burst forth upon tasting, giving every taste bud an ultimate experience. Of course, the most unforgettable element is the extremely familiar flavor.
Even though Wan Ge had already decided in her heart that the person in front of her was the one she liked, she felt that the more proof she had, the better, since she couldn't be 100% sure.
Wan Ge praised Chu Yuelin's cooking skills without reservation. Hearing Wan Ge praise her second brother like this, Chu Huailin immediately said, "Sister, I can cook too! Just wait, when you come back tomorrow, you'll be able to eat my cooking."
"Great! I'm really looking forward to it." His cooking style has never changed. If all three of them can cook, he might be able to tell the difference better.
However, it cannot be ruled out that the dishes they made tasted the same in order to mislead her.
Of course, this is just Wan Ge's guess, but Wan Ge is not so sure.
…
After dinner, Chu Junlin invited Wan Ge to go for a walk together. Upon hearing this, Chu Huailin quickly agreed to go as well.
Wan Ge turned her gaze to Chu Yuelin and asked, "Yuelin, would you like to come along?"
Chu Yuelin shook her head: "I still need to take a look at the design plan later, so I won't go. You guys can go."
Chu Huailin was surprised that his second brother wouldn't participate in such an event. Didn't his second brother really like Sister Wan Ge? Why wasn't he seizing the opportunity to spend time with her?
“Okay.” Wan Ge wasn’t angry about the other party’s refusal. He was also a little surprised that Chu Yuelin hadn’t come along. Wasn’t he afraid that he might develop feelings for one of them while he was out?
