I Became A Hit After My Divorce! Chapter 160

160 Stay to Taste the Dish

Le Yao nodded. “That’s good, but I won’t go in. I’ll come back later.” He would come over occasionally to stay in a villa worth tens of millions. She didn’t understand the world of the rich.

“Alright, then what ingredients do you need? I’ll go prepare them first.” Aunt Bai looked very happy. “Because Sir Jue hasn’t been here for long, there’s no chef here. My culinary skills are average, so I can only prepare a simple breakfast…”

“Prepare whatever you think he likes to eat. I’ll go back first.”

“Wait a minute.” Aunt Bai stopped Le Yao and turned around to return to the house. However, not long after, she took out a bag of eggs. “These are eggs laid by our own chickens. Those chickens are all raised on the mountain. They’re definitely organic and pollution-free. Everyone in the city likes them. My son and daughter-in-law came to see the two of us yesterday and brought a lot over. You should take some back to try.”

Hence, Le Yao went out for ten minutes and returned with a bag of eggs.

Liu Sujuan asked about them. Le Yao said that it was from her next-door neighbor, so she didn’t say anything else. However, she thought that she had to prepare something to send over. Neighbors could only have lasting relationships when they cared about one another.

However, those who could live here were either rich or n.o.ble. It took a lot of brainpower to prepare anything for them.

At around four in the afternoon, Le Yao went next door.

Aunt Bai had prepared a lot of ingredients. They were all for home-cooked dishes, but it was obvious that they were all carefully selected. They were not the kind that could be bought at the market.

The good thing about the selected ingredients was that they could be cooked in the pot as long as they were washed. There was no need to pick the vegetable leaves.

Nangong Jue said that he would be home at six o’clock, so Le Yao stewed pigeon soup first. This was very simple. She would blanch the pigeons that had already been processed with scallions, then put the pigeon, red dates and wolfberries into the ca.s.serole and stew them over a slow fire for two hours.

Since pigeons were very nutritious and not suitable for making hot food, she put the beef and mutton in the fridge and made c.u.min meat slices and three light stir-fried dishes.

Four dishes and a soup, perfect!

“Aunt Bai, the food is ready. I’ll go back first.” Le Yao took off her ap.r.o.n.

“Young Madam…” Aunt Bai was about to say something when the door opened and Nangong Jue walked in. Then, he smiled and retreated.

“You’re back just in time. The food is ready. Mission accomplished. I-”

“Who said that the mission is completed?” Nangong Jue raised his eyebrows slightly. “What if you put poison in the food? So, you have to stay and try the dishes.”

“You-”

Nangong Jue turned around and went upstairs.

Le Yao made a face at his back. What the h.e.l.l? Since he was afraid that she would poison him, why did he let her come? Let’s cancel the agreement!

Nangong Jue suddenly turned around.

Le Yao was wrinkling her nose and sticking out her tongue at him when she was caught. For a moment, she was embarra.s.sed, but she quickly calmed down. In any case, as long as she wasn’t embarra.s.sed, the one who would be embarra.s.sed would be others. It was fine if she ate, she could even save some food at home this way.

Nangong Jue’s eyes darkened for a moment. Then, he turned around and went upstairs elegantly, but the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up.

Le Yao pulled at her hair in frustration. She realized that she was really no match for this man. If she had known this would happen… she would have continued to act out and only change after the divorce.

Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret.
