Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss

Chapter 379: Chapter 353: The Lovely CEO is Cooking (Thanks to Anitaqing and Mr. Bi for updating)

Aunt in the Yu Family got a day off today.

Yu Minglang was still drinking and boasting with his brother, discussing child-rearing issues, as if he had raised a child. No one was there to help Xiao Qian.

Xiao Qian swept her gaze around and started studying the kitchen appliances.

Deep in thought.

Sweet dumplings could be fried, boiled, or steamed. As the frying was too challenging and had already caused some problems, boiling was deemed the safest method.

A female boss with a high educational background, Xiao Qian treated this potential waist-expanding matter with extra caution. After a stroll around the kitchen and scrutinizing various kitchen appliances, she finally figured out an excellent method.

Using the gas stove was definitely not an option; she was afraid she might blow up the kitchen.

The pressure cooker seemed too hazardous as well, and she inferred that a microwave oven probably couldn’t cook the rice dumplings either. Then her eyes landed on the electric rice cooker.

This was perfect.

She had cooked instant noodles with an electric cooker before. Although the soup somehow overflowed at the end, at least there were no dangers, and everything was cooked!

Xiao Qian thought she was super smart. Perfect, let’s do it this way!

Mother Yu had been chatting with Yu Mingxi for a while. Just as Xiao Qian predicted, Yu Mingxi, after the hint, indeed dreamt of something quite different. While the mother and daughter were talking, Yu Minglang walked in. “Mom, are your sweet dumplings done?”

“Oh, Xiao Qian is cooking them.”

“Who?!” Yu Minglang seemed to have heard something extraordinary. His slight tipsiness from the wind in the evening suddenly sobered up.

A chill went down his spine.

“Xiao Qian is cooking. It’s fine, it’s just a bag of sweet dumplings. There shouldn’t be any problems.”

At this point, Mother Yu was completely satisfied with his daughter-in-law, thinking that she was the embodiment of all-round talent.

However, this impression was immediately shattered.

Upon hearing this, Yu Minglang was shocked. How dare they let his Qian Bao stay alone in the kitchen! This was outrageous!

Who is Xiao Qian?

She could burn half the kitchen wall using the simplest methods!

Ever since witnessing how she burned the wall last time, Yu Minglang had silently swore in his heart that he would never let Xiao Mei in the kitchen during his lifetime!

Yu Minglang rushed into the kitchen while Mother Yu, Yu Mingxi, and Big Brother Yu, who had come upon hearing the noise, felt that Youngest Brother Yu’s reaction was a bit weird, so they followed him out too.

Upon opening the kitchen door, they saw a sight that they would never forget for life.

“Ah!!!” Mother Yu covered her mouth, rubbing her incredulous eyes.

Big Brother’s face, with its chubby flesh, also turned instantly sober.

Yu Mingxi’s mouth could fit an egg and it took her a while to find her own voice.

“Hi- Did you cast a spell on the sweet dumplings, so they all jumped out to experience freedom?”

As anticipated of a singer, what a refined phrasing.

The lid of the Yu Family’s electric cooker is connected, unlike the separable metallic ones.

At this moment, this rather extravagant electric cooker was covered in sweet dumplings, with a couple of flattened unknown substances sticking to the floor. Judging by the color and the smell, they seemed to be sweet dumplings. The embarrassed Xiao Qian, holding the unplugged power cord, was standing near the cooker, while the mouth of the cooker continued to spit out sweet dumplings. They demonstrated how these chubby guys, who were in the pot originally, had turned into flat monsters and “escaped” from the sealed electric cooker.

The room fell into total silence.

Only Yu Minglang rushed over to Xiao Qian, examining her hand carefully.

“Qian Bao, are you okay? Did you get scalded?”

“I’m…I’m okay… it’s just, I… 1 made the kitchen dirty…” Xiao Qian swore in her heart. In her imagination, she should have successfully cooked these seemingly simple ingredients into plump, chubby dumplings, serving them elegantly on a porcelain plate.

Then, her secret of not knowing to cook would have remained a secret.

Who would have thought that the electric cooker would betray her…

What went wrong to have caused the dumpling explosion?

Once Big Brother Yu was certain that he was not hallucinating due to alcohol, he swallowed his saliva and looked at the flat objects on the ground and the last pitiful sweet dumpling stuck in the vent, neither going up nor coming down, he said seriously.

“Xiao Qian, I’ve lived for nearly 40 years, and this really opened my eyes for the first time. I never knew that sweet dumplings could come out from here.”

Yu Mingxi looked at her mother with amusement, “Mom, are you sure she is better than me? Even if I ended up turning sweet dumplings into a sesame paste, at least they remained in the pot. Even though physical changes happened, the nutritional value was still retained!”

With Xiao Qian’s arrival, the title of ‘Kitchen Fool’ officially changed hands. How great­

Xiao Qian let out a dry laugh.

“I guess… it might have been because I’m not used to this cooker. Oh, um… my family is poor, yeah, that’s right, I’m a poor child, never seen such a nice pot before, how about… I use the gas stove and cook again for you?”

Strange. What did she do wrong to make it explode like this?

“Quick! Xiao Xi, escort your siblings into the house and take some rest!” On hearing this, Mother Yu worried that Xiao Qian was planning to cook more. She hurriedly ushered everyone into the house. If a kitchen explosion occurred in the Dayuan, it would be a big deal…

“I’ll also go there and watch.” Seeing the situation, Yu Minglang quickly wrapped his arm around Xiao Qian’s waist and tried to escape.

But Mother Yu quickly caught hold of his arm.

“You stay here and mop the floor!”

“Why!!!” Yu Minglang felt wronged.

Wasn’t he promised that he could sit back and enjoy his afternoon tea?

“A husband pays for his wife’s debts. Have you forgotten what you said on the stage today? Embrace it, youngest son.” Big Brother Yu laughed heartily.

Yeah, yeah, he must tell his wife this incident when he goes home. Ha ha ha ha!

“You, too, stay and mop.” Mother Yu pointed her finger at Big Brother Yu.

Big Brother Yu couldn’t bring himself to laugh.

“Mom, I’m too old for this    ”

Also, this mess was caused by the Youngest’s wife. Why should he be implicated?

“You have a big belly, some exercise will do you good. Quick, both of you grab a mop and start cleaning, the sticky mess will become hard to remove once it dries…”

All thanks to Xiao Qian, the two men, who had just been waiting to enjoy their cooked food, ended up on their knees, resignedly mopping the kitchen floor.

After giving Yu Minglang a sympathetic look, Xiao Qian decisively walked out of the kitchen. She needed to leave this heartbreaking place. The flattened little monsters on the floor reminded her exactly what she had done.

“A couple is like a pair of lovebirds, they fly…” Yu Minglang hummed a tune.

“In times of crisis, they each fly their separate ways.” Xiao Qian added a line, instantly felt an intense stare from behind. She turned back to see Yu Minglang angrily, but helplessly staring at her.

Clearing her throat, “Well, I’m not trying to ditch you or anything. It’s just that there’s a term in psychology, you know? It’s called post-traumatic stress disorder, which refers to suffering enormous trauma leading to an exceptionally low mood. So this kitchen has become a gloomy memory for me. I need to escape to break this vicious cycle of my emotions.”

“Being able to justify running away so righteously… My wife is indeed awesome…” Yu Minglang muttered under his breath, resigned to mopping the floor.

Even if he had to stoop down and mop the floor, he would still fulfill the promise he had made….
