Meng Chuyuan narrowed her beautiful eyes and an intriguing smile appeared on her lips. “Another day. I won’t be eating tonight.”

At first, Lu Jinsen had been looking forward to Meng Chuyuan staying for dinner. After all, she had been taking care of him on the variety show for the past few days. He had wanted to get closer to her so that perhaps she might want to continue filming the variety show.

Upon hearing her refusal to stay for dinner, Lu Jinsen’s expression stiffened before he returned to his arrogant and rude self.

He said sarcastically, “You’re really particular. it’s just a meal and yet you have to reschedule for another day.”

After saying that, he did not wait for Meng Chuyuan to reply. He got out of the car, took his suitcase, and entered the house.

Meng Chuyuan took a glance of his backview through the car window, a trace of mixed emotions reflected in her eyes. She shook her head silently and said to the driver, “Let’s go back.”

Lu Jinsen pulled his luggage into the living room. He scanned the room but did not find anyone inside. There was no smell of cooking in the kitchen either.

Helplessly, he took out his phone and called his mother. With one hand on his waist, he waited for her to pick up.

After a while, the call finally went through.

Madam Lu’s surrounding environment was a little noisy, so she could only shout, “Hey, son.”

Lu Jinsen frowned and asked coldly, “Mom, where are you?”

“I’m having a barbecue with some friends at the beach. What’s wrong?”

“Where’s our chef? Why isn’t he cooking tonight?” Lu Jinsen looked around but didn’t see anyone. He could only call his mother.

Madam Lu was a little surprised. “You’re back? Our chef had just resigned recently and we haven’t found a new chef yet. If you’re hungry, think of a way yourself. I’m not going back tonight. If there’s anything, settle it yourself.”

Before Lu Jinsen could react, Madam Lu had already hung up.

Lu Jinsen:

“Second Brother?” At this moment, Lu Qianling happened to come downstairs. When she saw that Lu Jinsen had returned, she was pleasantly surprised.

Lu Jinsen looked up at her. “You were home?”

She removed the lollipop from her mouth and said seriously, “I’m always home.”

“Have you had dinner?”

Lu Qianling shook her head and said, “No, I just ordered takeout. I figured that it would be here soon, so I came down to wait.”

Suddenly, Lu Jinsen was glad that Meng Chuyuan did not stay for dinner.

Otherwise, he would be the one feeling awkward.

“Second Brother, don’t tell me you haven’t eaten either?”

Lu Jinsen hummed softly. “Order one for me too.”

Half an hour later, Meng Chuyuan also arrived home.

Before she got out of the car, she saw the butler welcoming her at the door.

When he saw her get out of the car, he walked forward enthusiastically to help her carry her luggage. “Madam, you’re finally back.”

Meng Chuyuan frowned slightly, a little curious. “How did you know I was

coming back today?”

“Sir said so.”

“..” I see.

Meng Chuyuan changed her shoes and entered the house. Then, she was directed by the butler to sit in the dining room.

The housekeeper first served her a bowl of Lao Huo Tang. “Madam, have a bowl of soup to warm your stomach first. Dinner will be ready in a while.”

“Okay.”

Ever since she married Lu Qingye, there were people serving her at home every day. Everyone treated her very well and did not neglect her at all. Of course, this was also the basic treatment she deserved as Mrs. Lu.

The next day

Meng Chuyuan woke up naturally. She got up, washed up, and changed her clothes. When she came down, she saw the chef at home hustling about in a hurry, as if he was going out.

“Uncle Yuan, why are you so anxious? Did something happen?”

Uncle Yuan turned around and saw Meng Chuyuan coming down the stairs.

“Madam, I’ve already prepared lunch for you in advance. If you’re hungry, you can eat it after heating it up. I have to rush to the Lu residence now.”

Meng Chuyuan asked casually, “What happened over there?”

“They said that Second Young Master Lu was going to cook personally and everyone was scared out of their wits. They called me over to take a look.”

…” He wanted to cook?

What was wrong with him?

“No problem, go on quickly.” Meng Chuyuan thought for a moment and said,

“Wait, I’ll go with you.”

At the same time…

Lu Jinsen had already dug out all the ingredients that could be used from the fridge. He even specially searched for a few recipes online and watched videos alone in the kitchen to study.

Lu Qianling hid in the corner of the display window. Because she was afraid, she did not dare to go in. She asked worriedly, “Second Brother, did you not bring your brain back after filming the variety show? I already said that Uncle

Yuan will come and cook for us. Why do you have to cook for yourself?”

“Don’t be noisy. You’re affecting my state of mind.”

Soon, Meng Chuyuan and the others arrived.

They saw Lu Jinsen watching a video, learning how to make soup.

Before they rushed over, Lu Jinsen had learned how to fry a steak. However, for some reason, the pot caught fire and as a result, the steak was burnt.

He thought that it would be easier to make soup, so he started to make another pot of soup.

After Meng Chuyuan came in, she teased, “What are you doing?”

Hearing Meng Chuyuan’s voice, Lu Jinsen whipped his head around. He was suddenly at a loss and hurriedly used his body to block the burnt steak.

If Meng Chuyuan discovered this steak, she might make fun of him, right?

Lu Jinsen glanced at her and asked guiltily, “Why are you here?”

She raised her eyebrows and said, “It’s not too much for me to come for dinner, right?”

…”

Lu Qianling, who was listening in at the side, found it very unbelievable. The corners of her mouth twitched. “Did I hear you right? You’re here to eat the food that he cooked?”

Meng Chuyuan hummed softly.

“Hurry up and leave. His dishes are inedible.” She felt that this woman must have gone crazy.

Lu Qianling walked into the kitchen and took the steak from behind Lu Jinsen when he was not paying attention. Then, she placed the steak in front of Meng Chuyuan.

“Look at his steak. Is that even edible?”

“Lingling!” Lu Jinsen said angrily.

Lu Jinsen wanted to secretly learn a few dishes so that he could cook when he went back to film the Variety show. Unexpectedly, Meng Chuyuan came over and caught him red-handed.

Lu Jinsen did not even know how to start the stove at home. He had to painstakingly figure it out and light it up to produce such a steak. He thought that he was going in the right direction, but he had not grasped the right method.

Unfortunately, his culinary skills had not improved at all.

Meng Chuyuan looked down at the steak and shook her head. She said with disdain, “What a waste of a good steak.”

Looking at the awkward situation, Uncle Yuan took the initiative to walk into the kitchen and dissuade Lu Jinsen. “Second Young Master Lu, let me cook this meal. If you want to learn, I can give you some pointers.”

Lu Jinsen’s eyes glimmered. He was a little tempted, but seeing so many pairs of eyes staring at him, he picked up his pride.. “Who said I want to learn?”
