Chapter 218: Chapter 219: The Homemaking Husband_1 Chapter 218: Chapter 219: The Homemaking Husband_1 In fact, when she saw Si Limo buy a cooking book to cook himself, Qiao Xiaren was eager to watch the fun. How could an adult man possibly cook without blowing up the kitchen?
Just as Qiao Xiaren sat down, her phone rang. She answered the phone, and Weini’s voice came through: “Dear, I’ve finished reading your information. Just now, Director Li from ‘Slaying Immortal’ called to tell you to join the crew in two days. By the way, the organizers of the music festival have also sent the invitation. I will attend with you tomorrow.”
Weini was a bit surprised. Qiao Xiaren’s excellence was beyond his expectations.
Upon hearing Qiao Xiaren’s calm voice, Weini spoke again: “Darling, you did a great job taking on the role in ‘Slaying Immortal’. There was another director who came looking for you – it’s a web series, I helped you turn it down. In this era, garbage dramas are prevalent. Although they can attract attention, they’re easily trashed. Besides, with your skills, you don’t need to rely on trashy dramas to get ahead.”
“I understand, Weini, I need you to filter out the scripts for me.” Qiao Xiaren knew very well that achieving fame couldn’t rely solely on her acting skills, but also on high-quality scripts and characters. The better the script, the higher the fame; the higher the fame, the better the script would be handed to her.
“Darling, you really are different from those superficial people.” Weini continued, “However, I did receive a good script, a high-quality, 20-episode youth idol drama. The character seems pretty good – the main female lead. Come check it out tomorrow and see whether you want to take the role.”
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Xiaren saw Si Yelin step through the door, changing his shoes at the entrance: “Little sister-in-law…no, Xiaren, you’re here?”
Feeling Qiao Xiaren’s amused gaze, Si Yelin swiftly corrected himself. After all, it felt strange to call such a young girl “little sister-in-law” to her face!
The moment he stepped in, a fragrant smell wafted from the kitchen. He took a deep breath and asked, “Xiaren, are you cooking? What dish is this? It smells so good!”
“I didn’t cook it.” Qiao Xiaren shrugged, a lazy, elegant smile tugging at the corner of her mouth, “Your brother is in the kitchen.”
When he heard the phrase “your brother is in the kitchen,” Si Yelin nearly burst into laughter on the spot.
His brother? What happened? His arrogant, high-maintenance brother was cooking? When did he learn to cook? He had no idea!
Was his brother planning to become a househusband? Please, she hasn’t even agreed to marry him!
“Oh, he bought a cooking book himself, and it seems to work pretty well.” Qiao Xiaren gave a lazy smile. Si Yelin somehow felt uneasy, so he asked again.
“Xiaren, do you not know how to cook, do laundry, or clean?”
“I see.” Si Yelin, full of suggestion, spread his hands, “You don’t, but my brother does. You two are a match made in heaven! Why don’t you consider becoming my sister-in-law?”
Si Limo came out of the kitchen with the dishes, and Si Yelin looked at his brother as if he was a monster until the man shot a frosty look at him, then he quickly diverted his gaze with a grin.
It had to be said, his brother…transforming into a househusband was quite a sight…
“Come and eat.” Si Limo’s gaze shifted to Qiao Xiaren, becoming soft and gentle. The tableware had long been overturned on the table by the maids. Si Yelin rubbed his hands with anticipation, eager to taste his brother’s culinary skills.
As Qiao Xiaren took her seat, the man had already served her a bowl of rice and picked a variety of dishes for her, “Eat more, you’re too thin.”
After watching his brother’s tender moment, Si Yelin couldn’t help but pull a face of protest and discontent.
His brother had always been strict and demanding with him since childhood; when had he ever shown any gentleness to him? Where was he when he needed care?
