535 I’m Glad to Be Working With You! (1/2)

”Don't worry about it. Getting rid of Amaterasu Genetics is my responsibility. No need to thank me,” Ye Lingchen stated calmly.

After that, awkward silence followed. Both had nothing to say.

It went on until the appearance of a wonderful aroma that Dong Miaomiao, who was in a daze to finally snap back to attention. She could not resist taking a good whiff, then looked toward the kitchen.

Wisps of smoke came out of there, along with an intense aroma that filled the entire room, growing richer as time passed.

Although she wanted to continue steeping in sorrow, the aroma seemed to carry a magical ability to easily pull her out of that rut.

She had nothing for breakfast. Her stomach was empty since the previous night.

”How about it? You want some?”

Ye Lingchen brought out a pot of porridge along with a few white buns and fried eggs.

Dong Miaomiao looked at the simple food and could not comprehend how such simple food was able to give off such an aroma? That was just illogical!

”Do you want some?” Ye Lingchen looked at her.

”I—”

Gurgle...

Before Dong Miaomiao could finish her sentence, the growls from her stomach caused her face to turn bright red.

Ye Lingchen kept quiet and served her some porridge.

Upon careful inspection of the porridge, Dong Miaomiao finally noticed it. Although it was just a simple porridge, every grain of rice seemed to be glowing, just like that of a star-filled sky. Moreover, the gruel was thick. Just looking at it increased her appetite.

She reached out and grabbed a bun, leading her to another surprise.

It was as soft as cotton. However, unlike cotton, the softness had an elasticity with it. With that texture, she could already tell that the mouthfeel of it must be spectacular!

She stole a glance at Ye Lingchen, surprised that he was such a good cook.

Biting into the bun, it felt as though she was biting on clouds. Just as it entered her mouth, there was a hint of well-balanced sweetness that appeared on her taste buds while the soft fluffy bun was running around the tip of her tongue. It instantly filled her with a strong sense of satisfaction.

Following that, she opened her mouth and took a small sip of porridge.

The thick gruel stained the corner of her lips as the jewel-like grains of rice flowed into her mouth along with the gruel.

Tasty!

It was out of this world!

Plain porridge and buns. It was as simple a pairing as it could get, yet it allowed Dong Miaomiao to feel as though she had a sumptuous and fanciful meal.

No need for comforting, nor counseling. Dong Miaomiao started letting go of her troubles all on her own.

They did not rush their breakfast and were finally done after 15 minutes.

”You have quite the appetite eh?” Ye Lingchen asked out of the blue.

Dong Miaomiao's face turned scarlet in an instant. She had eaten two full bowls of porridge, two buns, and an egg without her realizing.

That portion size might not seem much to a man, but for Dong Miaomiao, it was comparable to her entire day's portion!
