744 A Million Times for You 106 (2/2)

Jin Qingyan looked down and said with a chuckle, ”You.”

”Shall I boil and serve myself to you? You may have a spread of steamed human flesh,” she said with a grin.

”No need for that. I can just devour you raw. It must taste really fresh and decadent. Shall we give it a try tonight?” he teased, batting his eyelashes.

An Xiaoning shivered at the sight of how intensely he was staring at her and said, ”Hmph, I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I'm going to prepare dinner now. I promise it won't kill you, but you must polish everything off regardless of how it tastes.”

She turned around and strode toward the kitchen while Jin Qingyan stared at her in delight. He could not take his eyes off of her at all, for he simply loved and adored her to bits.

Standing beside the refrigerator, Auntie Chen said, ”Young Madam, what would you like to eat? I'll cook it for you. The kitchen reeks of the odor of oil. Go outside and rest instead.”

”Auntie Chen, I'm going to cook dinner for Qingyan myself. He's already agreed to let me do so. Go outside and let me prepare the dishes in the kitchen on my own, alright?”

Seeing how serious she was, Auntie Chen stopped trying to persuade her and exited the kitchen.

An Xiaoning took out the fresh ingredients from the refrigerator, only to find that she was lacking some ingredients that were required by the recipes she had found online.

Thus, she put her mobile phone away inside her pocket and decided to do it her way.

Soon, Jin Qingyan began to hear sounds of food being deep fried, ladles and utensils being dropped onto the ground, as well as that of plates being smashed. Not long after, thick fumes of smoke began spreading from inside the kitchen. Auntie Chen peeked inside the kitchen through the door, filled with panic and worry.

However, she dared not enter to intervene.

Jin Qingyan stood up and walked toward the kitchen door. Staring at the chaotic scene taking place before him inside the kitchen, he could not help but burst into laughter.

He had prepared dinner together with An Xiaoning before back in Dongpo Road. Yet, he did not expect her to create such a mess when she's left alone in the kitchen.

He strode inside and stood beside An Xiaoning. ”Why don't you turn on the kitchen hood?”

”Ah, I forgot… I was just telling myself to switch on the kitchen hood when I was turning on the gas stove, yet I forgot it in a flash,” said An Xiaoning while scooping the food in the wok onto a plate.

Staring at the stir-fried corn with orange on the plate, Jin Qingyan asked, ”Is this a new dish you came up with?”

”I think it should taste delicious, give it a try,” she said, handing him a pair of chopsticks.

Jin Qingyan picked up a piece of orange with his chopsticks and put it inside his mouth. It was so sour that his forehead had creased into a frown. ”Very unique.”

”Since you've said that, you shall finish this entire plate,” said An Xiaoning.

”… Alright.”

Pointing at two other dishes, An Xiaoning said, ”There are still two more. It should be enough for you.”

”Aren't you having any?”

”I… I'll get Auntie Chen to cook my dinner.”

”What!?!” Jin Qingyan gasped and questioned, ”You definitely aren't trying to repay me for saving your life. Tell me honestly, are you trying to take revenge on me?”

”What do you mean? I genuinely wanted to cook for you, it's just that my culinary skills are rather lackluster and I have a lot to improve on.”

Jin Qingyan immediately thought of a saying he used to hear — In this world, there are two types of women who can't cook; there are those who are unwilling to learn and practice, and the other type was those who are insistent on practicing despite being horrible at cooking. Just which type did she belong to?

Jin Qingyan was perplexed by the dinner she had prepared.

Apart from the stir-fried corn with orange, she had also prepared cucumber and milk soup, as well as a stir-fried banana with tomato.

They were all innovative dishes that she had come up with.

As a result, Jin Qingyan got the runs before he was even finished with the meal.

An Xiaoning had a feeling that he had gotten diarrhea because of the food she prepared. Thus, in order to express her apology, she instructed Auntie Chen to cook some porridge and serve it to him.
