The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 53 - Fifty-three

Evening.

Lu Beichen returned home and immediately smelled the delicious aroma of freshly cooked food.

As he walked inside, he saw her wearing white casual clothes, a light pink apron, her hair softly pulled back, tasting the soup.

The cold house instantly felt like home, and Lu Beichen hung up his coat and walked toward her.

Hearing the sound, Ji Niandong asked in surprise, "Didn’t you say you’d be back in half an hour? Why so early?"

"What are you making?" Lu Beichen walked over and took a glance, corn and rib soup; the aroma filled the room.

Ji Niandong put the lid on and pushed him out of the kitchen, "Go change, wash your hands for dinner. The soup isn’t ready, but you can start eating!"

No matter how tiring the day was, fatigue disappeared completely in this moment; someone waiting at home after work feels so comforting.

Lu Beichen smiled, turned to the bedroom, and soon returned in casual clothes, a striped t-shirt with relaxed pants, still looking elegant and tall.

Several dishes were already on the table; Lu Beichen looked over them, varied flavors, even some Western dishes; the cooking skills were truly impressive!

As he sat down, she served him rice and handed it over, saying, "Yesterday at the Chinese restaurant, you didn’t eat much. I don’t know if it’s because I ordered dishes you don’t like or if you don’t like Chinese food, so I made a bit of everything. Try it!"

"When did you start making all this?" Lu Beichen was indeed surprised.

"I asked after everything was almost ready!" She answered honestly, looking at Lu Beichen with anticipation.

He took a bite, and the taste was quite good, surprisingly better than what he had at the restaurant yesterday. As he tasted each dish, she kept watching.

"How is it? If you really don’t like it, don’t eat it! Or tell me what you like," she asked a bit anxiously.

Lu Beichen nodded, eating while saying, "I think I can consider opening a restaurant for you!"

She unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, confirming once more, "Really liking it, not lying to me?"

"Why don’t you try?" Lu Beichen picked up a bite with his chopsticks and offered it to her. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Ji Niandong paused for a moment, then opened her mouth to taste it, finding the flavor like it was infused with honey, such casual intimacy still made her nervous and shy.

She turned and half-ran, half-skipped to the kitchen, lifted the lid for a look, "It’ll be ready soon, just right for soup after dinner!"

She washed her hands, served herself a bowl of rice, and sat down to eat with him.

The soup was still simmering, steaming hot, and dining together, the food seemed even more fragrant and sweet.

Lu Beichen began to say, "These five years haven’t been wasted. You used to know about wine tasting, now you can cook, and you can give massages too."

"I can also make herbal dishes, craft handmade items, and grow indoor potted plants..." She spoke with an obviously joyful expression, "Oh, right, when I went to Mr. Sheng’s today, I helped him water the plants, but accidentally snipped off a flower while trimming!"

She suddenly sighed and then fell silent.

Lu Beichen caught her gaze, asking, "How was it at Mr. Sheng’s today?"

"It was quite good! It’s just that I’m really lacking now, kind of embarrassing you as the introducer." Her voice was faintly soft.

Lu Beichen chuckled, "You’re already exceptional, what do you need from him? As long as you feel good, that’s all that matters!"
