Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife
Chapter 336 - Finally Home (2)Su Xiaofei was glad that she was able to take a short nap before arriving home, so she didn't feel as exhausted as she was earlier. If anything, she felt refreshed and energized at the same time. As she stepped inside their home, she decided to find her mother to greet her. She was greeted at the front doors by one of their household helpers and informed her that Yun Qingrong was working in the kitchen with Lu Qingfeng.
Her brows shot up upon hearing that and thanked their helper before going to the kitchen to see what was going on with her mother and fiancé. She then found her mother teaching Lu Qingfeng how to sear a steak properly and telling how long he should cook it according to his preference.
Su Xiaofei leaned on the door frame, crossed her arms over her chest and watched the two interact, not even noticing her presence. She could tell that something about her mother and fiancé had changed during her absence, as they looked closer than usual.
It was Lu Qingfeng who noticed her first, his face lit up upon seeing her.
"Feifei, you are finally home." He said, taking Yun Qingrong's attention from the meat they were cooking.
She turned her head and found her daughter silently watching them as they cooked. Yun Qingrong beamed her daughter a smile, and gestured for Su Xiaofei to come to her.
"How's your trip? I suppose it isn't as enjoyable because it's related to work."
"En, I'm finally home." Su Xiaofei couldn't agree more with Lu Qingfeng as she strode towards her mother to give her a hug in greeting. "There were hiccups along the way, but we managed to fix things up and continued with the campaign."
"Then that's good to hear." Her mother replied.
Once Su Xiaofei released her mother, she eyed the meat on the pan that was still sizzling. Since when did Lu Qingfeng know how to cook?
"What's going on? Are we supposed to have steak for dinner? How fancy." She commented, while watching Lu Qingfeng turn the meat over to cook it evenly.
"You know how to cook now?" She questioned him curiously.
Lu Qingfeng lifted his gaze and smirked at her.
"My future wife can't cook. As much as I love her, I cannot live on instant noodles alone, so I need to learn how to cook to feed ourselves." He said in return, earning a hearty laugh from Yun Qingrong when she saw her daughter flushed from his remarks.
"Or we can just hire a cook." Su Xiaofei pointed out. She had never met a young master who would dare to kick out his own cook from his kitchen and cook his own food himself.
"No. No. No. That can't be done. Didn't Aunty Qing say that the meal prepared by your loved one is the tastiest of them all? Also, it won't hurt to learn a new skill once in a while. Who knows, maybe it will be useful in the future." Lu Qingfeng said in defense.
Su Xiaofei rolled her eyes and didn't dare to argue more. It was obvious that Lu Qingfeng had already made up his mind.
"So long that you would be the one in charge of cooking. You are the one who insisted on learning it anyway."
It was one of many things she couldn't do, no matter how hard she tried to learn from her mother or from Aunty Liu before. Even in her previous life, her cooking skills were beyond salvation, as she couldn't even fry an egg without burning it.
"Fine, but you wouldn't have the chance not to eat whatever I cook." Lu Qingfeng teased her. "You would be my guinea pig and you have no right to decline."
Su Xiaofei then doubted if she should be worried about it or not. She couldn't remember a time when Lu Qingfeng cooked something that she had tried in her previous life. Although she knew that her fiancé was a quick learner, she still doubted if he could cook a decent meal for her to eat.
However, once the scent of the enticing seared meat started wafting in the kitchen, it made her mouth water and made her aware of her hunger.
She used to starve herself to keep her figure and ideal weight in the past, so she used to avoid eating meat like this and tried to ignore her hunger as much as possible. However, since her rebirth, she had started to eat more and was open to trying new meals.
"Why don't we prepare the table, Feifei? I see that I have nothing else to teach Xiao Feng when it comes to cooking steak." Yun Qingrong suggested as she took her daughter's arm and led her away.
Su Xiaofei eyed Lu Qingfeng, but he only gave her a nod to follow her mother. Once the dishes were served, the three of them started their dinner as Su Xiaofei updated her mother of what had transpired during the photoshoot Tang Liyan had a week ago.
"That sounds horrible, Feifei." Yun Qingrong frowned. "You must be more careful in the future."
"I know, Mama. This is what I told Miss Tang too. It's alright to be kind to others, but don't let anyone trample her like a doormat." Su Xiaofei agreed with her mother. Somehow, the way Yun Qingrong spoke reminded Su Xiaofei of the gnawing feeling she had in her heart.
Why did it feel like Yun Qingrong was trying to tell her something? Su Xiaofei had a bad feeling about this, and she didn't she would like it, whatever that makes her mother act like this.
She glanced at Lu Qingfeng, but his eyes told her that he was in no position to explain things to her at the moment, and she wouldn't force him to say it.. It was enough for her that Lu Qingfeng was here with her, reminding her that she wouldn't be alone again.
