After all, he still had to save so face for this "financial backer dad."
Seeing Chef Ge’s approval, Liu Shiwei smiled smugly and didn’t forget to flash Wen Xueqian a proud look, as if to say: Did you hear that? Even Chef Ge says it’s delicious. My cooking skills have been recognized by a professional!
He once again threw himself wholeheartedly into the joy of cooking, without hesitation adding sixty milliliters of premium champagne into the at filling, which was becoming darker and larger in volu, and then continued to mix it with enthusiasm.
Speaking of which.
This filling... can it even be eaten?
Will eating it cause food poisoning and result in diarrhea?
Looking at the at filling in the bowl becoming increasingly black, Wen Xueqian couldn’t help but look up at the ceiling in exasperation. She really wanted to ask Liu Shiwei: Do you even have the slightest decency about your cooking skills? With this kind of filling, are you trying to poison so you can find a new wife?
But she didn’t say it in the end. After all, this was her husband’s intention; she couldn’t bear to expose him...
By the way, how was she going to escape this disaster later?
...
When Liu Ruihan finished freshening up and ca down the stairs, an indescribable sll was already perating the floor below the Liu family.
This sll was like the unique fragrance emitted from an unwashed slly shoe insert placed on a heater for a long ti...
Liu Ruihan’s steps involuntarily paused, her nose wrinkled as she tried to ignore the unpleasant sll, only to et Wen Xueqian’s nearly desperate gaze at the kitchen door.
Liu Ruihan: ???
"Hanhan, you’re just in ti. We’re ready to eat..." Liu Shiwei appeared with a pleasant smile, holding an exquisite stear basket.
In an instant...
An even stronger sll of slly shoe inserts wafted over.
Liu Ruihan shivered inwardly, covering her nose and said, "Daddy, what’s that stinky thing..."
"Stinky?"
Liu Shiwei sniffed.
Yeah, it does sll a bit...
But he didn’t believe there was a problem with his at buns; he unconsciously thought it was drifting in from outside. He said to Jiang Cuiping not far away, "Aunt Cui, close the doors and windows at ho, don’t let the sll from outside co in..."
Jiang Cuiping: "..."
Wen Xueqian: "..."
Chef Ge: "..."
Closing the doors and windows, are you trying to suffocate us...
Liu Ruihan: ???
Dad, are you sure it’s the sll from outside and not from inside the house?
With a "clang" sound.
He put the stear basket on the dining table and lifted the lid.
The next second...
at buns, with no aesthetic appeal at all, lay scattered horizontally and vertically on the stear cloth, with dark brown juice wantonly oozing from their openings...
Upon seeing the scene before them, Wen Xueqian and Liu Ruihan’s eyes stung a little.
Liu Shiwei, at this mont, finally showed so self-awareness, saying, "The first ti I did it all by myself was quite difficult. The buns don’t look very good..."
Wen Xueqian was in a daze.
After all, the at buns made by Liu Shiwei, whether in aroma or appearance, completely overturned her perception of at buns.
Liu Ruihan had never seen such ugly and stinky buns either, and for a mont, she didn’t know how to respond to her father’s words, blinking her innocent big eyes, looking all flustered and helpless.
But Chef Ge cheerfully said, "Chairman Liu, your buns are quite well done. For a first-ti all by yourself, it’s already pretty good!"
Liu Ruihan: ???
Uncle Ge, are you sure?
Wen Xueqian: ???
Chef Ge, your skill in lying with your eyes open has improved quite a bit...
Don’t you know that this isn’t helping him; you’re harming him...
Sure enough, Liu Shiwei was coaxed into a good mood, smiling broadly as he imdiately handed out chopsticks to Wen Xueqian and Liu Ruihan: "Honey, Hanhan, co on, quickly taste the at buns I made while they’re hot. Although the appearance might not be great, the taste should definitely be good."
"Okay!"
Wen Xueqian forced out an awkward yet polite smile, took the chopsticks, and cautiously reached for the at bun.
Just as the tip of the chopstick lightly touched the bun’s skin...
The phone on the dining table suddenly rang.
She casually put down the chopsticks, quickly picked it up for a glance, then furrowed her brows slightly, and looked apologetically at Liu Shiwei: "Honey, I’m truly sorry, my best friend is going abroad today, I promised her I would take her to the airport, so I guess I have to go first."
"Huh? Going abroad this early in the morning?" Liu Shiwei showed a bewildered expression, not noticing Wen Xueqian’s strangeness, only instinctively asking a follow-up question.
Before he finished his sentence.
Wen Xueqian had already stood up quickly, grabbing her handbag to put away her phone.
"And what about the at buns?" Liu Shiwei asked sowhat awkwardly, looking at Wen Xueqian’s back.
"I’ll take a few to eat on the way, and let my best friend try my husband’s love-filled buns!"
With that, she went into the kitchen to get a plastic bag.
Seeing this, Liu Shiwei imdiately smiled, wiping away the yet-to-form disappointnt on his face and promptly reached out to take the plastic bag, kindly saying, "Co on, let pack it for you."
"Hanhan, didn’t you agree to et Weiwei and Qingqing at the kindergarten earlier? I can drop you off on my way and save your dad the trip, okay?" Wen Xueqian caught Liu Ruihan’s gaze, giving her a wink.
Liu Ruihan, who was restless and wondering whether to risk eating the buns, instantly understood Wen Xueqian’s hint.
"Mm-hmm...Daddy, I’ll leave too, otherwise, Weiwei and Qingqing would get anxious waiting..."
Liu Ruihan quickly put down her chopsticks, with a panicked expression, swiftly slid off the chair, and went with Wen Xueqian, leaving Liu Shiwei alone to face the remaining at buns.
"This early in the morning, how co everyone suddenly got so busy? They don’t even have ti to sit down and have a proper breakfast with ?"
Liu Shiwei mumbled to himself in confusion, at the sa ti picking up a at bun for a bite.
The next second...
"Ugh... spit spit spit..."
He spat out the at bun in a rush, his expression suddenly turning incredulous.
He had thought the at buns would taste good, but who would have imagined...
They were so awful!
At this mont...
He suddenly understood the aning of that old saying: When God closes a door for you, he inevitably shuts all the windows.
He had amazing judgnt and acuity in the business field, but clearly, in terms of cooking talent, he had not been favored by God at all.
Simultaneously, he belatedly realized...
The mother and daughter duo didn’t really have urgent matters; they were purely avoiding his "dark at buns" while also saving his face...
At this mont...
He wasn’t sure whether to laugh or cry...
Oh well!
Forget it!
He accepted his fate!
At most, in the future, let his daughter recognize Huang Jun as her godfather.
This way, the relationship between the two families could be even closer, and his daughter visiting her godfather’s house for als would be perfectly legitimate.
He, as the real dad, could also enjoy Huang Jun’s culinary delights by extension.
Thinking this way, he was completely relieved, no longer struggling over the issue of his daughter calling Huang Jun "Dad."
