Chapter 1025 - Active Pursuit (1/2)
There were also strawberries and white strawberries on the table. It was said that this was called Snow White, Huo Ci’s favorite fruit. When she thought of this, her heart inexplicably skipped a beat. She frowned, feeling a little annoyed. She must have gone crazy. What does what Huo Ci likes to eat have anything to do with her?!
Xiaoqi carried a plate of stir-fried vegetables out and saw his grandma approach him. He beamed and said in a soft, crisp voice, “Grandma, Grandma, it’s time to eat! Grandpa made your favorite tomato and egg noodles!”
Nangong Lengyu went over to bring the plate over. Her brows were furrowed slightly, and her eyes were a little dark. Did she like tomato and egg noodles the most? Who said that? That was the only thing he knew how to cook back then, all right?!
As the saying goes, love makes one full even if one only drinks water. She had been stupid back then too. No matter how well he cooked, she had thought all of the food was delicious. No matter how he behaved, she had thought he was great. It was only later she had realized that he was an *sshole!
“You still want me to feed you?” Huo Ci turned his head and spoke in a very irritating manner. His brows furrowed slightly as he shot her a look. “Come and bring the food out!”
Nangong Lengyu gnashed her teeth. She really wanted to snap back at him. No! She didn’t want to eat the noodles he had cooked! However, on the account that he had made a great effort to cook, she held herself back in the end. Xiaoqi was also present. She couldn’t keep letting the child see the two of them quarrel. They weren’t children anymore.
Huo Ci carried two bowls of noodles out, one big and one small bowl. The big bowl was his, and the small bowl was Xiaoqi’s. After taking two steps forward, he turned his head around and pointed at a bottle on the opposite. “The vinegar is over there. Add it yourself if you want to eat.”
Nangong Lengyu’s mood was a little unstable. She didn’t know what she was feeling at this moment either. When warmth filled her heart, she thought that she might have gone crazy. She carried a full bowl of noodles out.
She had a strong suspicion that Huo Ci had deliberately scooped so much noodles for her. Her appetite wasn’t good to begin with, so she wouldn’t be able to finish so much noodles even if she stuffed herself to death. However, if she wasted the food, that b*stard would definitely make sarcastic remarks again.
Huo Ci reached out with his chopsticks and directly picked up some noodles. When he saw the woman frown slightly, he let out a snort and gave her a sideways look. “Can you finish it? If you can’t, don’t waste the food.”
Nangong Lengyu didn’t speak either. When she saw him pick up one-third of the noodles, she smoothly picked up another portion for him. In the end, there was only one-third left. She had a weak stomach, so she needed to eat smaller meals more frequently. In the past, she hadn’t cared much. After finding her daughter, she started to take care of her health.
Even if it wasn’t for herself, she had to be healthy and live well for her daughter.
The atmosphere was very harmonious during this meal.
Nangong Lengyu had not expected that after more than 20 years, although people changed even when things remained the same, his basic noodle culinary skills had made no progress whatsoever. He had even mocked her for being bad at cooking and not even knowing how to cook soft-boiled eggs! How was he any better? Weren’t the tomato and egg noodles he cooked unpalatable too?!
Huo Ci was in a rare good mood, but he didn’t show it on his face. As he ate, he thought about how the damn brat at home was unreliable. In the end, he still had to make the move to call her back home.
After dinner, Huo Ci washed the dishes and tidied up the place. He looked like a complete househusband. He already had a handsome face that could cause the downfall of a country and its people. When he did housework, his elegance didn’t diminish. Instead, there was a rare down-to-earth aspect, making him look even more eye-catching.
