For once in her life, Wang Hua had two bowls of rice. Normally she would opt for one bowl of rice, but tonight she asked for extra. Only when she had finished her meal, she stopped teasing her daughter, altogether lost in her own thoughts.

Staring at the empty plates on the table, Zhao Jiayi became silent. At first, he wanted to light up a cigarette, but his wife and daughter were there, he held back that gesture.

The scrumptious meal ended with Zhao Jiayi and his wife pondering over the same question. When did their daughter master such amazing culinary skills? They truly did not expect this coming from Zhao Youyue. At the same time, they also felt a slight pang of guilty conscience. One of which was if they had not spend enough time with their daughter, by simply giving her pocket money but not attention nor affectionate care.

Nowadays, there are cases where some rich kids are broken inside due to the lack of care. Some have even suffered mental disease and caused problems for the society, bringing trouble to their families. For Zhao Jiayi, his daughter was not one that would bring shame and worry to the family. Zhao Youyoue was just an ordinary girl who had never done anything extremely rebellious or out of the box. To him, describing his daughter with the word “fine and gentle” was just right.

Others might not believe that Zhao Jiayi trusted his daughter more than his wife.

But now, Zhao Jiayi seemed to be a little worried when Zhao Youyue showed off her seemingly well-polished culinary skills.

“Let me tidy up and wash the plates.” Zhao Youyue stood up and offered voluntarily.

At that moment, Zhao Youyue did not activate “Xu Jing’s possession” mode. Because she was a girl who is aware of the present atmosphere and also has a very high EQ. She fathomed the unusual behaviour of her parents after giving some thoughts.

This time she had really caught their attention, greatly boosting her sense of presence. Her culinary skills was indeed amazing, which astounded everyone. When Youyue was flaunting her talent, the whole family was so happy that their intelligence had dropped off. But after the dinner, they started to think like usual and the largest suspicion came to sight.

“Youyou, take a sit, there is no need to rush. Leave the dishwashing to daddy and mommy. You should’ve been exhausted from all the cookings, better take some rest.” Explained Zhao Jiayi while stretched out his hand pressing down the dishes.

Zhao Youyue had no choice but to sit down. Now, she must not induce any suspicion but act normally.

At this moment, Wang Hua did not interrupt and just waited for her answer.

Zhao Jiayi continued with a very gentle tone, “Youyou, when did your culinary skills become this good? I’ve never seemed you practicing them at home before.”

Zhao Youyue naturally replied in a calm tone, “I’m just tired of eating the foods outside. That’s why I try to make some food for myself and found that cooking is actually quite interesting. When you two are not at home at noon, I will start practicing. Then, I will clean the kitchen until no cooking signs can be found. I only decided to give you a surprise after I mastered the culinary skills.”

This explanation was truly flawless, as Zhao Jiayi and Wang Hua were basically not at home on afternoons. Nobody would notice if Zhao Youyue actually did that. After all, they did not hire any maids. This was because Wang Hua was quite exclusive. As for the house works, they would hire hourly waged cleaners for the cleanings, while the clothes were basically dry cleaned and delivered directly.

In fact, Zhao Youyue actually cooked her own food during the recent holidays. She hand-picked various types of seasonings and even the kitchen tools. She even self studied and created a few interesting dishes.
