Trial Of Love Chapter 270 - The Real Chef

Since the staff of the program could not explain what happened, they did not bother about it and moved on to the next segment.

"As you all know, we actually have two top chefs with us today." Long Tao said.

"We do?" Yan Shi asked acting all clueless as she faces the audience.

"I found out that Yuexi An actually went to culinary school at the same time Li Zi is just born with a talent for cooking." Long Tao explained.

However, the cast of clearly knows who is the real chef. They all tried to keep a straight face as they recalled how horrible Yuexi An's food was during the first day. 

"So why don't we invite Yuexi An and Li Zi to cook for us and the audience. Isn't it unfair that we won't get to try such beautiful ladies cooking for us?" Long Tao said.

Elizabeth smiled as she got up from her seat and walked to the other corner of the studio where they have prepared a small kitchen for them. Yuexi An followed as well, but was not pleased of what's about to happen.

"So Li Zi, what will you prepare for us tonight?" Yan Shi curiously asked.

Elizabeth looked at the different ingredients they have prepared and answered her, "I don't know..."

Seeing Li Zi didn't know what to prepare, she turned her attention to Yuexi An instead. "How about you Yuexi An?"

"What would you like to eat?" Yuexi An answered.

"Hmm, so you want me to decide?"

"Will that be fine with you Junior Li Zi?" Yuexi An turned to Li Zi with a forced smile on her face and inquired.

Elizabeth nodded and answered her, "Sure, I won't mind."

"Since we don't really have much time. Why not make something so simple within 20 minutes can you both do that?" she asked

Yuexi An: "Sure." 

Elizabeth: "No problem."

"Alright then, let the time begin." Yan Shi announced as she faces the camera and audience.

"Since the two beauties are busy cooking for us. Of course, you guys aren't saved to do the other challenges." Long Tao smiled, giving them all an eerie feeling. 

Whilst the rest continued with the different challenges set by the audience. Li Zi and Yuexi An continued to battle with each other. 

"Is it me or does Li Zi has better cutting skills than Yuexi An." 

"Does that mean Li Zi also went to culinary school? Or are you saying Yuexi An is a fake?"

As the audience continued to be in a buzz. The challenge between the two beauties ended up as a battle to prove who is the real chef. 

Half the time pa.s.sed by already and Li Zi has prepared one dish whilst she finished her last dish. Leaving Yuexi An in a mess and still not done with any dishes at all. 

"Wow, Li Zi already finished one dish." 

"Man, it smells so good."

"You focus the camera more on Li Zi when she's cooking," the director ordered, whilst continuously observe everything in the control room. 

"Alright, seem like our two beauties are almost done." Long Tao said as he and the rest of the cast went to the other side of the set. 

When they saw the food Li Zi has prepared, the cast of were all craving for the mouth-watering dish she has prepared.

"Are we all going to eat?" Leo Wu curiously asked whilst gazing at the food Li Zi has prepared.

"Of course not, this is for us." Long Tao replied, seeing how hungry they all look at the food the girl prepared. Leaving all of them feeling disappointed. 

"Time up." 

"Let's all try Yuexi An's food first, this is a true culinary chef cooking." Yan Shi said as she and Long Tao went over and tried the food. 

Each of them took a mouth full of the dish Yuexi An prepared. As they continued to devour it, both hosts tried hard not to react and keep a straight face.

'...Darn it, this is so salty.' (Yan Shi)

'Did she really study at culinary school, my wife cooking is better than hers.' (Long Tao)

The two hosts kept everything to themselves, they dare not comment about Yuexi An's cooking and move on to Li Zi instead.

"Alright, let's now try Li Zi food." Long Tao said, amazed to see how well-plated the food are.

'It smells really good, I now know why Leo Wu really wants to eat Li Zi's food.'

Both hosts did not hesitate as they dive into the food. As the food melts into their mouth, they felt like heaven as the different flavors battled inside their mouth. 

"Man, the sweetness and spiciness are battling in my mouth." Long Tao beamed his satisfaction and approval for the food.

"The vegetable stir-fry is amazing, I can still taste the freshness of the vegetables." Yan Shi too was delighted for what she has eaten and was over the moon.

"Little boy, now I know why you wanted to try this." Long Tao teased Leo Wu leaving him devastated unable to eat Li Zi's cooking. 

Yuexi An trembled in frustration seeing how everyone started praising the girl again yet they didn't even comment about her food. She wishes to throw everything away but in the end, kept it to herself...

'B*tch! Why must it be you? What the h*ll! What's so special about her food. They're just vegetables.'

As they reach the end of the program. Each celebrity not only promoted the program but each individual upcoming shows and events. 

"That's right guys, please don't forget On November 10th is out in cinemas." Huang Ming announced.

"So please do come and support the movie," Elizabeth added.

"Alright folks, that it's for tonight. Have a great evening everyone." Long Tao said as the program ended.

"Nice take everyone." The director of the program said coming out of the control room. 

The audience then were allowed to meet the celebrities as they took pictures and ask for an autograph. 

"Sis Li Zi can I have a picture with you and Bro Huang." 

"Sis Li Zi please take a picture with me and Bro Yixing."

As everyone else took pictures peacefully with their idol. It seems like the audience has suddenly been divided after the program. Soon fans quarrel with each other as they expressed their opinion to whom Li Zi looks better with...

"Sis Li Zi is better with Bro Huang."

"No, Sis Li Zi looks better with Bro Yixing."

Seeing the commotion, Elizabeth hastily went over to intervene worried that the fans might turn physical with each other.

"I thank you all for the support, I won't mind taking pictures with both of them." 

In the end, Elizabeth ended up not only taking pictures with her fans but also a couple pictures with Huang Ming, Yixing Zhang and even Leo Wu since some of Leo Wu's fans found it cute seeing both of them together since they act like siblings together along with Yang Zi.

After they have satisfied the fans... 

The cast all returned to the lounge room to rest. 

"Miss Li Zi, you really have amazing cooking skills. Do you do any lessons?" Long Tao went closer to her and asked.

"No, Sis Li Zi is my own personal teacher." Leo Wu b.u.t.ted in and pushed Long Tao away from the girl.

Elizabeth giggled seeing Long Tao continuously teasing Leo Wu, "Right now I'm busy with my exam. But once I'm free, I won't mind teaching you all." 

"That's great, I'll invite my wife to come as well." Long Tao glowed brightly that the girl agreed to his request.

"Then, I'll come… Li Zi give me your number." Yan Shi added.

Whilst they all exchange numbers and information, Yuexi An was left in the corner with her manager being left out again. 

'That b*tch she really knows how to seduce all men.'

"Since Li Zi is planning to do cooking lessons, why don't we do it at my place." Yuexi An suggested hoping to get everyone's attention and regain the spotlight.

"That's right, doesn't Yuexi An leave at Golden Park." Long Tao said.

Golden Park is an apartment complex community. Most top celebrities leave in the area since it's close to the city center. 

"If we're doing that, you can do it at my place instead, since I'm sure my place is bigger than yours." Huang Ming looked at Yuexi An with such unfriendliness for he detected what the girl was trying to do.

"I won't mind." Yuexi An smiled, agreeing to Huang Ming's offer since she has been to his house before and it was indeed larger than hers. Since he lives in the third building which has a larger size apartment. 

"No need, I'll just message you all," Elizabeth replied, falling for Yuexi An's trap. 

'*sigh* Can't believe I fell for the snake's trap. Anyway, better call dad later to arrange everything for me.' 

As they each headed home, the director of the program asked Li Zi to stay for a moment. 

"Li Zi, I'm sorry for making you wait. This is my friend Director Zhong Rougang."

"Director Zhong, a pleasure to meet you," she replied and shook hands with the man.

"Miss Li Zi, Director Li send me the clip during your cooking. I was hoping if you can take part in my show as well."

"I won't mind Director, but right now my schedule really tight since I still have an exam," she explained.

"No need to rush, I'll contact your manager once your free."

"Sure, I look forward to working with you Director Zhong." 

Elizabeth walked out of the TV station on her own and waited for the taxi she called. 

From a distance, Yuexi An was inside her car with her manager and saw Li Zi getting in a taxi. 

"Find out where she lives." Yuexi An said, glaring furiously as the taxi drove off.
