Nangong Lin paid close attention to the expression on Yan Xiaoxi's face because he was trying to find the answer he was looking for.

In the next second, he saw the smiling Yan Xiaoxi. She immediately became a frown, and her delicate features were completely twisted together.

He immediately understood that the food was not very tasty.

”Isn't the kitchen on holiday? Who made these things?” Yan Xiaoxi picked up another plate of food, but refused to eat it. She was truly afraid of the intoxicating taste of the food in front of her.

After Nangong Lin heard this, he was stunned into silence.

Yan Xiaoxi looked at Nangong Lin in astonishment. An idea suddenly flashed through her mind, as if she had thought of something.

Looking at the plates of dark food in front of her, she suddenly understood why they looked so familiar. Although they were burnt and black, she could still tell what they were from their shapes.

If her guess was right, then the four dishes in front of her were the crystal dumplings Bei Bai Xi had made for her that night: braised meat, steamed fish, and white bean curd.

”Little Lin Lin, did you do this?” Yan Xiaoxi asked as she pointed at the dishes in front of her in surprise.

Never would she have thought that Nangong Lin would be able to cook for her.

”Of course not.” Very quickly, Nangong Lin denied this answer.

Yan Xiaoxi responded with an 'oh' before continuing, ”Fortunately, you didn't cook it. It's really horrible.”

After those words were said, Nangong Lin's expression immediately changed greatly. His face was like frost, and the current of air that was being emitted from his body was enough to make one retreat three steps.

”Is it that bad?” Nangong Lin asked, unwilling to give up.

Yan Xiaoxi nodded and glanced at Nangong Lin from the corner of her eyes. She purposefully said, ”Compared to what Brother Bei is doing, the difference is too great.”

”How is that possible? This King will definitely not do worse than him.” Nangong Lin was unwilling to admit that Bei Bai Xi's culinary skills were better than his.

”Didn't Little Lin Lin say that it was you who did it?” Yan Xiaoxi snickered. She knew that Nangong Lin was definitely lying.

It was late at night and the kitchen was empty. Who else could come out except him?

”This King told others to do it.” Nangong Lin continued to quibble.

Yan Xiaoxi did not intend to expose Nangong Lin. She picked up the chopsticks on the table, picked up the crystal shrimp dumplings, and started to eat.

One after another, she continued to eat the food on the table. Soon, two-thirds of it was gone.

”Actually, it's not bad.” Yan Xiaoxi smiled at Nangong Lin.

Seeing this, Nangong Lin's ice-cold face finally broke into a smile. He sat down and picked up a piece of crystal shrimp dumpling and placed it next to his mouth. The moment he tasted the crystal shrimp dumpling, he immediately understood why Xiaoxiao had such a pained expression.

Why was this taste so sweet and spicy?

It was as if he had put the candy bar into the filling as salt. It was so hard to eat, he couldn't eat it all, but this woman had eaten a plate of it.

”Woman.” Nangong Lin called out to Yan Xiaoxi.

Actually, he already knew that Yan Xiaoxi had guessed long ago that the food was made by herself, which was why she forced him to eat so much.

”Really? It's not bad. At the very least, it tastes better than what I've cooked.” In order to prove her point, Yan Xiaoxi picked up another piece of Red Braised Meat and handed it over without hesitation.

”Alright, stop eating.” Nangong Lin couldn't bear to continue watching.

”Heh heh.” Yan Xiaoxi giggled as she looked at Nangong Lin.

She understood everything that Nangong Lin was doing, so she could not disappoint his feelings even more. These foods were just not tasty, they were not poisonous, and there would not be any danger to one's life.

Yan Xiaoxi's innocent smile instantly dissipated Nangong Lin's anger for the entire day.

This woman seemed to have some sort of magic. When she smiled at you, she would be in a good mood, and all her worries would be gone. No matter how much mistakes she made, she would be forgiven.

”Little Linlin.” Yan Xiaoxi raised her head and gazed at the absent-minded Nangong Lin.
