Xixi listened quietly to the conversation between the two, and her heart sank. (..)
Qing Muchen stood on the spiral staircase, staring at her downstairs calmly, frowning slightly as he looked at her face that slowly solidified.
What was her reaction
Are you disappointed to know that he is about to marry another woman
After quietly staring at her like this for a long time, Qing Muchen's mood suddenly improved inexplicably.
Xixi didn't stay downstairs for long. After passing by Tong Xiyao and Tong Yan, she went to the kitchen to get busy.
In fact, she is only responsible for helping out. Her cooking skills are not qualified for the job of serving as the main meal for the family.
Qing Muchen paced downstairs and watched her disappear at the door of the kitchen. He turned to the housekeeper and suddenly said, "Today's dinner, I want her to prepare it!"
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at him in surprise, as if he was surprised by his words.
However, after only a moment, his expression calmed down.
"Okay, I'll inform Xixi right now!" Without asking any more questions, the housekeeper lowered his head and headed to the kitchen.
When we walked in, several chefs were in the kitchen.
Looking up at Xixi, he pursed his lips and said expressionlessly, "Sixi is responsible for today's dinner!"
Xixi was startled, her eyes turned to him stiffly, as if she doubted whether she heard correctly.
"Young Master, this is for one person. When it's ready, send it to the room!" The butler didn't give any explanation, turned around and walked out without saying a word.
Xixi didn't react to his words for too long. The housekeeper suddenly made such a request, and she knew whose order it was without even thinking about it.
He knew that she was not good at cooking, was that intentional
Xixi suddenly felt a little annoyed with Qing Muchen.
Turning back to the cooking table and preparing a single portion for him, she glanced at the row of condiments and poured a bottle of black pepper onto the soup in the pot.
For dinner tonight, she only fried a small piece of steak and made a small pot of soup.
They were all flavored with black pepper, and there were only two bottles of black pepper in the kitchen that she poured cleanly.
Carrying the tray, she came to Qing Muchen's room without looking at him sitting in the room. She put the tableware on his table, turned around and wanted to leave, "Dinner is ready. If there is nothing else, I will go out first." Got it!"
As soon as he stepped out, his voice suddenly sounded from behind him, "Did I say you can go out?"
Xixi had already stepped out of the door and retracted her legs. She glanced at him calmly from the corner of her eyes and asked expressionlessly, "Do you have any other instructions, Master?"
Qing Muchen straightened his clothes, stood up, walked to the table step by step, sat down, and took a knife and fork to cut the food on the plate, "I just want you to stay here!"
He spoke carelessly and lightly, as if talking to himself.
Xixi was slightly startled, turned her back to him, looked at him, and asked seriously, "Master, can't you eat without someone to accompany you?"
Her words were actually extremely mocking.
She was mocking him for needing a woman to accompany him even when eating!
When eating like this, how often do you usually have a woman by your side at all times
How sentimental!
Qing Muchen paused in his hand movements and slowly raised his face.
"What did you say?" He seemed not to hear clearly what he heard.
To be precise, Qing Muchen didn't understand the tone of Xixi's words.
