C92 (1/2)

Opening the car door and getting in, Xiao Ze's mouth rose up as he complained, ”Father, beautiful aunt, why are you guys so late today?”

”Is that so?” Xiao Ze tilted his head and looked at Gu Xi Jue, and then looked at Xia Lan.

Xia Lan immediately glared at him and whispered, ”This is called a white lie, sometimes even children need to be coaxed.”

Let them be!

”Beautiful auntie, what are we eating tonight?” Xiao Ze opened his eyes wide, looking really looking forward to it.

”What does Xiao Ze want to eat?” Xia Lan asked.

Xiao Ze thought about it carefully and said, ”I want to eat ribs, and also want to eat mushrooms.”

Xia Lan laughed, ”No problem, the fridge just happens to have ribs and mushrooms.”

After turning around a corner, Xia Lan asked Gu Xi Jue: ”Gourmet, what do you want to eat?”

She thought, two dishes definitely wouldn't be enough for three people. No matter what, she had to make one more dish and one more soup.

Gu Xi Jue did not expect her to suddenly ask for his opinion, all the times she had looked down on him, he only had eyes for Xiao Ze.

This sudden question had really shocked him. He didn't have any food that he particularly liked to eat, nor did he have any food that he wouldn't eat.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Xi Jue said, ”It's not spicy, it's fine.”

Xia Lan burst out laughing, thinking back to the scene where Gu Xi Jue and Xiao Ze had their first meal at her home. That day, Gu Xi Jue specifically asked him not to be spicy, yet she was only thinking about Xiao Ze and had completely forgotten about his orders.

She silently thought to herself that she could make up for it today.

Thus, on the way back, Xia Lan intentionally took an extra street to the seafood market to buy half a kilogram of fresh prawns.

After returning home, Xia Lan placed her bag on the sofa and went straight to the kitchen.

Gu Xi Jue went upstairs to take a bath first while Xiao Ze sat on the floor of the living room to play with his new toy.

Gu Xi Jue who had finished showering did not do anything, he went downstairs and sat on the sofa to watch TV. The remote control pressed again and again, and did not fixed his gaze on the stage, but his gaze would occasionally glance towards the kitchen.

Xiao Ze sat on the ground and looked at him, then looked at the random TV shows, and finally couldn't help but ask: ”Father, are you hungry?”

”What?” Gu Xi Jue retracted his gaze.

”Why do I have to keep looking at the kitchen?” Xiao Ze asked innocently.

Xiao Ze's voice was loud and the kitchen was open, so Xia Lan heard everything clearly.

Gu Xi Jue's face was filled with black lines as he glared at his talkative son. This brat must be sent by the heavens to intentionally go against him!

In less than an hour, Xia Lan had already cooked three dishes and a soup. There was the stewed pork ribs and mushrooms that Xiao Ze ordered, as well as a garlic prawn.

Gu Xi Jue moved his chopsticks first, seeing that he had picked up a prawn first, she waited for him to finish eating, then asked: ”How is it, it's the first time I've cooked garlic shrimp.”

In the past, she would either stir-fry or boil it with clear water. Just now, she had used her phone to check the menu and made it at the same time.

Gu Xi Jue picked up another one, and commented expressionlessly: ”This is the first time I've done it, and I've barely passed since I was able to do it at this level.”

Xia Lan curled her lips. She thought, she could still eat so much after barely passing this stage. So what if it's delicious?
