048 Don't randomly claim to be a husband
Xie Yaoyao got up and did a set of military boxing exercises before forcing herself to calm down.
It’s over!
A moment of impulsiveness can lead to eternal regret.
She slapped her own mouth hard. "Serves you right for being so disobedient! How dare you kiss a tiger's mouth?"
Once Huo Yanxi realizes what's happening, he'll definitely come after her, and she doesn't want to die yet.
Knock knock knock!
There were three rhythmic knocks on the suite door. Xie Yaoyao almost reflexively jumped onto the sofa, grabbed a cushion, and hugged it to her chest as a defensive tool.
Here it comes!
Huo Yanxi's belated retaliation arrived.
Knowing Huo Yanxi as Xie Yaoyao does, he would definitely have someone beat her mouth until it's swollen, then throw her and Yu Bao out together, and forever prevent her from appearing within a hundred kilometers of him.
There were three more knocks on the door before Xie Yaoyao asked in a trembling voice, "Who...who is it?"
The butler's voice came from outside the door, "Teacher Xie, you're still awake, aren't you? I heard you woke up. You haven't eaten anything all day, so I brought you some food."
If we don't talk about food, it's fine, but as soon as Xie Yaoyao's stomach starts growling with hunger.
She had a high fever after falling into a coma in the afternoon and didn't eat anything that evening.
Uncle Jian bringing her food was practically a lifesaver. "I'm not asleep, Uncle Jian, come in."
Uncle Jian pushed open the door and came in, followed by Aunt Wang, who was carrying a tray.
The living room was lit with warm, orange light, which shone on the two of them.
Uncle Jian was wearing a black suit, and Aunt Wang was wearing a white work uniform and a chef's hat.
The way the two walked in resembled the Black and White Impermanence, appearing to claim lives.
Xie Yaoyao shrank back in fright, looking at the tray in Aunt Wang's hands, "Is this going to be my last meal before I'm executed?"
Uncle Jian and Aunt Wang looked at each other and then burst out laughing. Aunt Wang quickly placed the tray on the coffee table.
A bowl of seafood congee, a side dish, and a plate of fried dumplings filled the air with the aroma of food.
Xie Yaoyao's stomach rumbled again, much to her dismay. Fine, even if it's her last meal before she dies, she'll die full.
She threw away the cushion, sat cross-legged on the carpet, picked up her chopsticks, and put a fried dumpling into her mouth.
"Mmm, delicious, Aunt Wang, your cooking is absolutely superb." Xie Yaoyao took a moment to give her a thumbs up.
Aunt Wang smiled and said, "Eat more if you like. I feel so happy every time I see you eating, unlike Fifth Master."
Xie Yaoyao wolfed down her food, her mouth stuffed full.
She recalled the scenes of eating with Huo Yanxi. There was often not enough food, and every time the dishes were almost finished, he would fight with Yu Bao for them.
They don't act like adults at all.
"What's wrong, Mr. Huo?"
Uncle Jian coughed lightly, "Fifth Master has anorexia; when it flares up, he can't even drink water."
Xie Yaoyao frowned. "That shouldn't be the case. He seemed to have a good appetite."
They always eat a lot and don't show any signs of anorexia.
Uncle Jian sighed, "That must be fate with Teacher Xie. Teacher Xie's cooking suits Fifth Master's taste better."
Xie Yaoyao smiled awkwardly. He couldn't eat the specially customized nutritional meals prepared by the top chef every day, but he could eat the heavily oiled and flavorful home-cooked dishes she made.
What exactly is wrong with him?
If anorexia is this kind of anorexia, then it can only mean that his stomach is that of a poor person.
Aunt Wang had long wanted to learn from Xie Yaoyao; she and Chef Zhang were so worried that their hair had turned white.
They earn high salaries, but they can't cook the meals Huo Yanxi wants. If this continues, they might lose their jobs.
"Teacher Xie, if you have time, could you teach us how to cook the dishes that Fifth Master likes to eat?"
Xie Yaoyao: "Aunt Wang, your cooking is so delicious! It always smells amazing. My cooking skills are no match for yours."
“But Fifth Master loves to eat it,” Aunt Wang said quietly.
Caught off guard, Xie Yaoyao blurted out, "Maybe he's just used to it."
After all, he had been eating the food she and his grandmother cooked since he was a child. It might not be that the taste was particularly good, but it just tasted like home.
Xie Yaoyao lived here for more than half a month. Apart from meeting Madam Huo that day, she never set foot here again.
A mother who shows no affection whatsoever for her child who has been separated from her for many years.
It is evident that even after returning to the Huo family, Huo Yanxi did not receive parental love.
It's understandable that he would miss his time in the small fishing village.
Aunt Wang: "They've only been eating it for half a month and they've already gotten used to it? What will Fifth Master do after Teacher Xie finishes his two-month course?"
Xie Yaoyao scratched her head. "President Huo is probably just looking for something new. Two months is enough time for him to get tired of it."
Aunt Wang's expression was still very distressed.
Xie Yaoyao ate all the food that Aunt Wang brought, which made Aunt Wang very happy.
She loves seeing the empty plates of the food she makes; she hasn't felt this satisfied in a long time.
"Teacher Xie, I wish you could stay here forever," Aunt Wang said with emotion.
It was crowded and lively.
Moreover, Xie Yaoyao and her son have enormous appetites; they finish every single dish she cooks every day.
Xie Yaoyao smiled shyly, "Aunt Wang, I want to live here forever. There are such big rooms, and Aunt Wang cooks such delicious food. Just thinking about it makes me so happy."
"Then you can stay. Anyway, the young master needs a tutor." Aunt Wang said, trying to persuade him to stay.
Uncle Jian coughed lightly, "Teacher Xie, you've finished eating. You should pack up and go back to sleep."
Aunt Wang realized that she had acted without permission. To put it bluntly, she was also a servant in this family, so why should she take it upon herself to keep guests on behalf of the master?
"Teacher Xie, your fever has just subsided, you should get some rest." Aunt Wang put the bowl and chopsticks on a tray and carried it out.
Uncle Jian had his hands behind his back the whole time, and now, apart from Xie Ziyu who was asleep, only the two of them were left breathing in the room.
He looked a little embarrassed. "Teacher Xie, could you please extend your hand?"
"Uncle Jian, what's this for? Are you going to give me a little red flower?" Xie Yaoyao looked at Uncle Jian in confusion, but still obediently did as she was told.
Uncle Jian took out a ruler and tapped her palm lightly, like tickling her.
Xie Yaoyao: "...Uncle Jian, is this some kind of new reward system?"
Uncle Jian coughed heavily. "Teacher Xie, this is what Fifth Master instructed. Please bear with me."
Xie Yaoyao stared at the ruler, speechless for a moment.
Huo Yanxi, you really know how to have fun!
Upstairs, Huo Yanxi sneezed loudly.
"Uncle Jian, besides telling you to hit me, did he also ask you to deliver any message to me?"
Based on Xie Yaoyao's understanding of Huo Yanxi, he couldn't possibly be so careless.
Uncle Jian: "Fifth Master said, please, Teacher Xie, have some self-respect and don't casually acknowledge any husbands."
Xie Yaoyao: "..."
The next day.
Xie Yaoyao got up early and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
Recently, Huo Yanxi has been cooking all three meals for her. However, she only needs to make a list, and Aunt Wang and the others will prepare the dishes in advance according to her list.
All she had to do was cook the ingredients.
Xie Yaoyao skillfully rinsed the rice and put it in the pot, then cracked four eggs and stirred them clockwise. She then poured the mixture into a ceramic pot and placed it in a steamer to steam for 15 minutes.
While the porridge was cooking, she took out the meat and chopped it into minced meat. After mincing the meat, she began to season it.
Turning around, I saw Huo Yanxi standing at the kitchen door. His eyebrows and eyes were cold and gloomy, with dark blue eyes, making him look like a damp and sinister male ghost.
