Mei Jing only started to come to his senses now, and there was finally some color returning to his face.ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novelenglish.net . ꜰɪre.nᴇt

In the evening, he couldn’t concentrate on his homework in his room. Instead of forcing himself to study, he came out alone and walked to the balcony for some fresh air.

Suddenly, he heard familiar voices downstairs. The voices were extremely familiar, so Mei Jing curiously walked downstairs.

The voices were coming from the kitchen.

Mei Jing approached a bit closer to hear what the people inside were saying.

Mei Shu was washing vegetables, appearing humble and seeking advice, “Mr. Chen, your culinary skills are among the best. Please don’t hesitate to teach me later!”

Chen Feng, feeling embarrassed, smiled awkwardly, “Miss, don’t praise me too much. In fact, 1 still have quite a gap compared to those famous chefs. I should thank you for hiring me.”

Mei Shu placed the washed vegetables on the cutting board, picked up the knife, and was about to start cutting.

Chen Feng, as if startled, quickly snatched the knife from her hand. He looked at Mei Shu with a puzzled and questioning expression before awkwardly explaining, “Cutting vegetables is too dangerous. Let me do it!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be very careful. 1 want to personally cook dinner for Xiao jing. He’s always absent-minded during dinner, and I’m sure he hasn’t been eating properly.”

Mei Shu took the knife back with a smile and said, “If you’re really not at ease, teach me your knife skills. I’ve noticed that the dishes you cut look very nice.”

“Alright.” Chen Feng compromised and earnestly taught her. Mei Shu also learned very carefully.

What surprised her even more was that, during the process of cutting vegetables, it felt like her cooking skills were leveling up. Gradually, numerous recipes and cooking tips seemed to generate in her mind.

It was like having Google directly stuffed into her brain!

She instinctively felt that there would be a voice saying something to her next, but just like last time, that voice couldn’t connect with her. The sense of emptiness surged again in her heart.

“Miss?” Chen Feng looked at Mei Shu, who suddenly seemed dazed.

Mei Shu snapped back to reality and continued to skillfully cut the vegetables, saying, “Let’s move on to the next step.”

Chen Feng sincerely praised, “You’re truly intelligent. You seem to have mastered culinary skills in no time. The way you cut the vegetables is as good as a professional chef. It doesn’t look like the work of a beginner at all!”

Mei Shu, looking at the knife in her hand, thoughtfully said, “Yes, I don’t think I’ve ever cooked before.”

“Since you returned home, you haven’t cooked.” Chen Feng echoed, “Next, we need to start boiling water. It’s dangerous to turn on the gas here, so you must be careful.”

“I know.” Mei Shu followed his instructions to ignite the gas and then added the vegetables one by one according to their cooking time.

In the intervals of waiting for it to cook, Mei Shu casually asked, “Master Chen, you’ve been living in the villa all this time. You must miss your family, right? If you want to go home and see them, I can give you some time off.”

Chen Feng shook his head with a wry smile, “1… have only one daughter. She’s living well with her mother now. 1 don’t want to disturb them.”

Mei Shu smiled and said, “But how do you know that your daughter doesn’t miss you a lot?”

Chen Feng suddenly looked up, his eyes full of hope, “Does she?”

Mei Shu shifted her gaze to the steaming soup in the pot and pursed her lips into a straight line. “Perhaps she does, but you’ll only know when you see her.”

Chen Feng’s expression became somewhat melancholic. “Her mother thought I couldn’t provide a better life for them, so she remarried with our daughter. I’m just a cook, not really talented. The new man she found is a boss; 1 secretly investigated. He is very wealthy and a good person. They live a good life together, and I’m reassured.”

Mei Shu raised an eyebrow and said, “So you’ve never visited your daughter again?”

“I did go secretly. They, as a family of three, happily went to a restaurant together. Later, I also went to that restaurant alone. The price of a single dish there is higher than my daily food expenses. After that, I never went to see them again.”

As Chen Feng spoke, there were still traces of tears shimmering in his eyes.

The soup in the pot had boiled, and he quickly turned around, discreetly wiping away his tears. He casually said, “Miss, now you can add the seasonings. This is my unique secret technique. Please don’t teach it to others!”

Mei Shu looked at the man in front of her who was pretending to be carefree and playfully winking at her. Somehow, she couldn’t bring herself to smile. She could only follow his instructions step by step to make this pot of fresh vegetable soup.

“That’s it!” Chen Feng clapped his hands with a sense of accomplishment. “Miss, if Young Master Jing knows that tonight’s supper was personally made by you, he will definitely cheer up!”

“Will he?” There was no brightness in Mei Shu’s deep black eyes. “But Mei Mu said she has evidence of Jing injuring her. 1 think unless we destroy this evidence, Jing won’t be at ease..”
