Chapter 98 - Qing Shi (1/2)
Jing Mansion.
”Dad, Mom, Brother, Sister-in-law. Grandpa, Grandma, Daddy, Mommy, big brother, second brother,” Mo Xi and Jing Mo Chen greeted.
”Little Xi, you are back!” Yang Shu Ling jumped up from her seat excitedly and went to hug Mo Xi.
”Mm!”
”How's your mini-honeymoon? Is my son great?” Yang Shu Ling asked eagerly.
Mo Xi's face turned red when she heard Yang Shu Ling's questions, and she didn't know how to reply so she faced down to avoid eye contact.
Yang Shu Ling thought that Mo Xi was quiet because Jing Mo Chen wasn't very good at doing it, ”Little Xi, I'm sorry! We should have sent Mo Chen to the hospital for a check before you two got married. Aye… Now that you two are married already and he… he… aiya… It's mom's fault for not being careful enough! Mom ruined your happiness!”
Mo Xi was stunned by what Yang Shu Ling said and she replied instinctively, ”Mom! Mo Chen is great! You didn't ruin my happiness!”
The moment those words left Mo Xi's mouth, Mo Xi really felt like banging her head on the wall. She turned her head to the side as she sucked in a deep breath and her eyebrows scrunched up.
Jing Mo Chen chuckled and went to hold Mo Xi's waist, ”Thank you, Mrs. Jing, for complimenting me! I will work even harder in the future!”
Jing Mo Chen's rubbed circles on Mo Xi's waist as he held her and squeezed her waist tightly for a second.
”NONONONO! Don't need to work harder! You are doing very well already!” Mo Xi shook her head and hands rapidly when she felt Jing Mo Chen squeezing her waist.
”Not bad! Mo Chen, seems like little Xi is very satisfied with you!” Jing Cang joined in the conversation.
Everyone in the living room laughed when Mo Xi's face turned red once again.
Mo Xi quickly went to the kitchen with the groceries and started to wash and cut up the ingredients. The servants in the house wanted to help, but Mo Xi said that she wanted to prepare the dinner on her own. Hence, the servants couldn't do anything but to stand at the side and looked at Mo Xi as she cooked. They were worried that Mo Xi would get injured and they wanted to help her whenever needed, hence standing at the side was the best way to look after Mo Xi without distracting her. The only thing they could do was to help cook the white rice.
Although Mo Xi seldom cooked, she was still able to cook very well. When she was in Country Y, she would cook once in a while when she needed some alone time to think or when she felt like cooking. In order to suit the taste of all of them, Mo Xi decided to prepare both western and eastern food.
She cut up some chicken and took out a stew pot. She filled it with some water and added in the herbs needed for the herbal chicken soup. She then cut up some prawn and cracked a few eggs to make prawn omelet.
