Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

After tasting a mouthful, Zhao Gushen found that the fish soup had a sweet aftertaste, with threads of sweetness emerging from the rich aroma of beans, delighting him with its freshness.

While he was savoring it, Ye Fei had already taken a pair of scissors and started to dismantle the chicken.

She cut open the chicken from the belly, releasing the plums and lemons inside. Without the chicken’s wrapping, the fragrance became even more intense.

She rewarded Ye Xiaomo with a big drumstick, while Zhao Gushen picked a piece near the chicken breast.

That part of the meat was usually dry and tough, making it the best place to showcase culinary skills.

Unexpectedly, when it entered his mouth, he first felt the paper-like crispiness of the roasted skin.

The caramel-colored skin carried a rich plum sauce aroma.

The sauce flavor seeped into the chicken meat, melding with the meat’s juices, melting together in his mouth.

Zhao Gushen didn’t expect the chicken breast to be so tender, with the rich meat juices accompanied by the sweet and sour plum and lemon flavors, not greasy at all.

It even had a hint of summer in it.

Zhao Gushen couldn’t help but smile, turning to Ye Fei, he said, "I take back what I said at noon, you will definitely stand out in the competition."

After listening to Ye Xiaomo in the afternoon, Zhao Gushen also realized why Ye Fei didn’t want to show up.

She was afraid her family would see her and come to cause trouble.

She might not fear trouble herself, but she didn’t want to be involved unnecessarily, especially now with Ye Xiaomo.

She wasn’t afraid for herself, but she didn’t want Ye Xiaomo to get hurt.

"Leave the matter of not showing up after advancing to me," Zhao Gushen said.

Finally hearing his comment, Ye Fei breathed a sigh of relief, then couldn’t help but complain, "If it was so good, why didn’t you say earlier and needed to sell the suspense, making me anxious, thinking you didn’t like it."

Clearly complaining, but in Zhao Gushen’s eyes, she seemed more like she was playfully scolding, with a hint of petulance. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

That glance, even more, made his heart itch.

Zhao Gushen’s fingertips twitched, his voice even turned a bit hoarse.

He masked it with a cough, clearing his throat, "It’s very delicious, I just didn’t realize you were waiting for my review."

Ye Fei mumbled, "This meal was for you, of course, I want to know if you like it."

Zhao Gushen couldn’t help but curl his lips, "I like it very much."

After dinner, Zhao Gushen didn’t intend to stay longer, so he proposed to leave.

Ye Fei also breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning around, Zhao Gushen saw Ye Xiaomo gathering all the snacks Ye Fei made for him, as if afraid Zhao Gushen would snatch them away.

Seeing Zhao Gushen look over, Ye Xiaomo immediately became vigilant.

Zhao Gushen curved his lips and said, "Did you make these snacks yourself? They are delicious."

Ye Fei heard this and courteously said, "Do you like it? How about taking some with you?"

Zhao Gushen looked at the tense Ye Xiaomo and nodded with a smile, "Sure. I usually don’t like snacks, but the ones you made are really good."

Ye Fei was naturally pleased to hear this and promptly packed all the snacks at home for Zhao Gushen to take with him.

Zhao Gushen then pretended to ask, "If I take them all, will Xiao Mo have none left?"

Ye Xiaomo immediately nodded towards Ye Fei.

Ye Fei smiled and said, "No problem, I can make more for him."

"Alright then," Zhao Gushen immediately took it over, "So if I finish them, you can make more for me?"

Ye Fei didn’t expect that Zhao Gushen, who didn’t like snacks, was already looking forward to finishing them.

She said, "Of course, feel free to ask me anytime."

Only then was Zhao Gushen satisfied, leaving with both the snacks and his appetite.

Ye Xiaomo felt that Zhao Gushen must be doing it on purpose.

He sensed Zhao Gushen’s deep malice towards him.

After watching Zhao Gushen enter the elevator, Ye Fei then closed the door.

Thinking about it, she first sent a WeChat to Li Xiaoyun about her signing up for the culinary competition.

Then, she logged onto Weibo.

After a day of not checking, the questioning voices doubting her authenticity had not only not diminished, but increased.

"Fei Xiaomo always keeps silent, guilty conscience?"

Such voices became more and more frequent.
