Chapter 48 Lu Chen's Concerns



Wow! My little temper!

Cheng Mingyue was really a little angry, and said in a bad mood: "Didn't I tell you to wait a little longer? What's the matter? I am your little maid. If you ask me to cook, I have to cook. Don't you have hands?!

I won't serve you today, if you want to eat, go make it yourself!"

Lu Chen was choked and speechless, "...The agreement said I would be provided with food and lodging for five years, you're breaking the contract!"

"That's right, as for board and lodging, food is also food, I'll take care of it. It's in the kitchen, you can take it yourself!"

After Cheng Mingyue finished speaking, she slipped into the space.

Lu Chen: “…”

He just wanted to find something to talk about, how could it turn out like this!

Why did this woman suddenly become so hot-tempered? !

Who on earth offended her?

Lu Chen racked his brains but couldn't figure it out, but Cheng Mingyue in the space was laughing so hard that she fell over.

But after laughing, I felt a little uncomfortable.

Why does Lu Chen take it for granted that he can cook for himself?!

It's just a bad habit of men in this era.

It seems that in their village, only women cook, and the men act like masters.

This won’t do!

She cooks because she enjoys it, not because she has to. Besides, her agreement with Lu Chen is for five years, so he can't ask her to cook for five years, right?!

Why?!

She doesn't spend his money and doesn't eat his food, so why should she live such a miserable life?

At this time, Cheng Mingyue had already forgotten what she had said to Lu Chen.

Cheng Mingyue had forgotten, but Lu Chen hadn't. He muttered, "Didn't you say that after we get married, you'll listen to me in everything? If I tell her to go east, she won't go west. If I tell her to kill a chicken, she won't chase away a monkey?"

It's been less than a month and she's already forgotten everything she said. She's so fickle!"

However, although Lu Chen said this, he still went into the kitchen obediently to cook.

He learned his cooking skills after going to the countryside, so his cooking skills are just so-so. He can cook food well and it won't kill people.

Cheng Mingyue is obviously angry now, so he has to cook quickly to appease that little ancestor.

An hour later, a bowl of black dumpling soup, whose original color could not be seen at all, was ready.

Lu Chen filled a bowl of dumpling soup, wiped the edge of the bowl very carefully, and then walked into the house with the bowl in his hand, looking very proud.

Lu Chen didn't know if Cheng Mingyue could hear him, but he still shouted, "Don't be angry, it's all my fault. I just made some dumpling soup, come and try it and see how it tastes."

Cheng Mingyue was quite surprised that Lu Chen could cook by himself and even called her, so she put down the book in her hand and walked out of the space.

But as soon as she saw the bowl of black stuff, her stomach churned.

Cheng Mingyue pinched her nose and looked at Lu Chen with disgust: "Is this a pimple soup? You are not deliberately trying to piss me off, are you?!"

"No, I didn't! I did it seriously!" Lu Chen felt very aggrieved and said to Cheng Mingyue pitifully.

Cheng Mingyue: “…”

I'm really drunk.

You are such a grown up guy, why is you pretending to be a weak little white rabbit?

In her previous life, Cheng Mingyue was a beauty lover. Although she was a homebody, she knew all the young and handsome men in the entertainment industry, and she had a special preference for the weak and submissive type of men.

Lu Chen's appearance was exactly the type she preferred. Seeing him looking at her with such hurt and fragile eyes, she wished she could turn into a close sister and comfort him.

But Cheng Mingyue quickly came to her senses.

She wanted to slap herself twice. Lu Chen was a lone wolf, not a little white rabbit.

The way he looks now is 100% fake.

Cheng Mingyue chuckled, ignored Lu Chen, turned around and went into the kitchen.

Seeing that his charm didn't work, Lu Chen looked down at his left leg and smiled self-deprecatingly.

He quickly calmed down and followed him into the kitchen.

Cheng Mingyue scooped the so-called dumpling soup from the pot into a basin, intending to take it to the chickens raised by her mother later.

Cheng Mingyue shook her fist in front of Lu Chen and threatened, "Watch this, I'll teach you a lesson this time. If you do this again next time, just wait and see."

Dumpling soup is a very common delicacy in the north.

If it's done right, it tastes pretty good.

Cheng Mingyue first took out everything she needed from the cabinet.

There are tomatoes, eggs, spinach, bean sprouts, tofu, green onions, flour and half a bowl of water.

Blanch the tomatoes in boiling water, peel them and cut them into 1 cm dices, cut the green onions into chopped green onions, and cut the spinach and tofu into slightly larger pieces for later use.

Beat two eggs in a bowl, beat them with chopsticks and set aside.

Finally, Cheng Mingyue poured some flour into a basin, added a small spoonful of salt, added the water in the bowl little by little, and used chopsticks to stir the flour into slightly larger dough.

Pour some oil into the pot, and when the oil is hot, add the chopped green onion and tomatoes. Stir-fry until the juice comes out, then add appropriate amount of water to the pot, add some seasonings to taste, and then bring to a boil over high heat.

After the water boils, pour in the mixed noodles and stir with a spatula to prevent them from sticking to the pan. After cooking for two minutes, add the washed bean sprouts, then add tofu, and finally pour in the spinach and egg liquid.

The delicious and beautiful dumpling soup is ready.

"Have you learned it?" Cheng Mingyue asked with her head tilted.

Lu Chen: "...I've failed at learning..."

Cheng Mingyue thought Lu Chen had an accent and didn't care. She happily poured a bowl of dumpling soup and handed it to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen felt guilty and didn't dare to look at Cheng Mingyue. He slipped out with the bowl in his hand.

Lu Chen was only focused on looking at Cheng Mingyue, so he couldn't hear what she said.

Lu Chen found that the serious Cheng Mingyue was really beautiful. Her curled eyelashes brushed against his heart like a brush, making him feel itchy and uncomfortable.

Her nose is so upturned and straight that one can't help but want to swing on it.

Her voice was so soft and gentle, and even her little mouth opening and closing was so captivating.

At this point, even if Lu Chen didn't want to admit it, there was nothing he could do. He didn't want to deceive himself anymore.

He fell in love with this 200-pound fat girl!

Half a month is enough time for him to see his own heart clearly.

He had never been so worried and confused about a woman before. He wanted to talk to her, to be with her, to understand her, and to know everything about her.

But Lu Chen also discovered that Cheng Mingyue had no such intention towards him at all. She was very polite and distant to him and really only regarded him as her partner.

How is this possible!

However, Lu Chen knew the principle of gradual progress, and he decided to influence Cheng Mingyue subtly and make her fall in love with him.

Lu Chen has the determination and confidence.

Cheng Mingyue then also sat at the table with a bowl in her hand, eating the dumpling soup spoonful by spoonful, but she always felt as if someone was staring at her.

But when Cheng Mingyue looked up, she found that Lu Chen was not looking at her at all. He was eating happily.

Is this a ghost?!
