190 Wanted To Be Someone’s Wife (1/2)
With three people working together, they were quick to finish preparing a full table of dishes.
Fried pig’s trotters with chili and salt, crayfish in special sauce, spicy crab, grilled lamb leg, pan-fried beef steak…
Most of them were main dishes, and more meat than vegetarian. For someone like Ning Xi, who was always on a diet, this dinner was a major commitment!
After all, Little Bun was still a little too skinny, and Lu Tingxiao also needed more nutrition since he was usually so tired from work.
Looking at the table full of appealing and delicious dishes, Lu Tingxiao was surprised. ”Now I believe what you said before.”
”About what?”
”About becoming a chef.”
Ning Xi laughed merrily. ”You thought I was exaggerating! I’m a little out of practice, but years of experience don’t lie!”
”Did you want to be a chef at first?” Lu Tingxiao didn't understand.
Ning Xi’s smile faded. ”Don’t laugh when I tell you this, but it wasn’t because I wanted to be a chef — I wanted to become someone’s wife .”
Lu Tingxiao narrowed his eyes a little, and the slightest hint of ice came off him.
”To become someone’s wife”, what a touching sentence, but that ”someone” wasn't him.
”I was too naive back then, I thought the way to a man’s heart was through his stomach! Who would've thought…” At this point, Ning Xi suddenly stopped, and glanced apprehensively at Little Treasure, who was staring at the soup pot attentively. She moved slightly closer to Lu Tingxiao, and continued in a low voice, ”Who would’ve thought that I placed my hand too high. The true position is three inches below the belly button. I cooked for him for years, but Ning Xueluo only had to sleep with him for one night. Pathetic, right?”
”He’s the pathetic one, he will regret it.” Lu Tingxiao comforted her as if he was stating a fact.
Ning Xi admitted that she really was comforted by his words, and laughed lightly. ”Okay, today is such a happy day, let’s not talk about things that’ll spoil the mood. After the soup is done, all I need to do is to stir fry some vegetables, and we’re all set!”
Lu Tingxiao took a look at the vegetable basket. ”We didn't get any vegetables.”
”We didn’t?” Ning Xi stared dumbly. ”What about cauliflower? Carrots?”
”None.”
