“Xiao Liuliu…” Nian Xiaomu was about to remind her that she had not washed her hands, but the very next second, Xiao Liuliu’s delicate face crumpled into a bun.
With her mouth stuffed, she was unable to swallow, yet afraid to spit the food out.
Nian Xiaomu was shocked and grabbed her chopsticks to taste her own omelette.
It was only one bite, but it was so salty that her entire face became twisted in agony.
She quickly stretched her hands out to carry Xiao Liuliu into her arms. “Spit it out now. Don’t eat anymore.”
Xiao Liuliu was very obedient and opened her mouth to spit out the omelette.
Her face was flushed red, and she nestled aggrievedly in Nian Xiaomu’s arms.
Nian Xiaomu carried her to swiftly get a glass of water.
“How many times have you cooked prior to this meal?” Yu Yuehan used his chopsticks to pick out the egg shells in the omelette dish. The expression on his face was beyond description.
Nian Xiaomu turned to see that the Xiao Liuliu had already withdrawn to a corner far away from the dining table with a glass of water in hand. Nian Xiaomu weakly put up one finger.
“First time.”
“…”
“I really don’t know how to cook. You made me do it.”
She had wanted to test out her potential in a new skill set because of the bonus.
In the end, it only proved that even a genius would have an Achilles’ heel.
For example, cooking.
Yu Yuehan looked at her guilt-stricken face and thought about how this was her first time cooking. His glum face gradually softened.
He took another look at the dishes on the table.
This was her first time…
His eyes lit up for a moment, and he used his chopsticks to pick up a mouthful of rather normal-looking vegetables.
He took just one bite before his eyebrows furrowed together.
Nian Xiaomu’s heart pounded as she watched him, and she asked, “How is it?”
“…” There was no taste. What had she expected?
Yu Yuehan picked up his chopsticks to try a bite of the sweet and sour pork ribs.
The nauseating sweetness and taste of the burnt pork ribs left a stinging sensation on the taste buds.
His face was beginning to crumble.
When he was done taste-testing every dish on the table, his original expression had already left his handsome face.
He put the chopsticks down, his thin lips forming a line.
He could disregard the soggy, burnt, salty, spicy, and tasteless dishes, but…
What was she thinking when she fried the fish without removing the intestines?
Yu Yuehan’s lips twitched slightly.
“Daddi, want water?” Xiao Liuliu carried her own glass and ran over sympathetically.
She put the glass on the table, scurried away, and did not even dare to take another look at the dishes…
Yu Yuehan picked up the glass of water and took a sip.
He forced himself to curb the urge to strangle Nian Xiaomu.
Looking at the table that was filled with burnt dishes, a sudden thought struck him. He put his glass down and walked into the kitchen.
He had just walked to the door when he started smelling an intense burning odor.
When he looked up, he saw that the kitchen was beyond recognition. The shock was so great that for a moment, he thought that it might have been his own delusion.
He took a few steps back and stood at the door for a few seconds before walking in again.
The bottom of the pot had dark, sticky, and unidentifiable stains.
Cough! When he got closer, the burning smell was unbearably strong.
Most excellent—the pot was ruined.
Not only was the pot destroyed, the entire kitchen resembled a disaster zone. It was unimaginable what damage she had caused, but it appeared that she had wreaked havoc all over the place.
What in the world had she done?
When Nian Xiaomu stepped into the kitchen and saw his long face, she tensed up and asked, “Why don’t we go out to eat?”
The most critical thing to do was to get him out of here.
It was important to protect her life!
Yu Yuehan slowly turned around and fixated his gaze on her.
After a long time, he nonchalantly replied, “Sure. Your treat.”
“…”
“As for the cost of renovating the kitchen, it will be deducted from your bonus.”
