Chapter 133: Zi Chuan and Liangchuan (3)

Her sudden question caused Shen Liangchuan to stop in his tracks, as he gave her a cold glance.

Under his glance, Qiao Lian felt guilty and lowered her head.

She was so muddled, how could she have asked such a question?

She secretly lifted her head to look at him and realized that he was looking back at her with the same emotionless expression. He looked like he was vexing over how to give her a reply.

She hurriedly changed the topic, “M- Mr. Shen… have you eaten?”

It was then that Shen Liangchuan came back to reality. After staring at Qiao Lian for a while, he said, “No.”

Qiao Lian pointed at the pot and said, “Then, do you want some noodles? All the servants in the house have gone to villa 18 and they will only send food back at seven, and—”

“Ok.”

Before she could finish her sentence, Shen Liangchuan had replied emotionlessly.

Qiao Lian was stunned. She had actually just offered out of politeness.

She hadn’t forgotten the fact that a simple bowl of noodles had made him unhappy last time.

No matter how bad her noodles was, he didn’t have to show his unhappiness to her right?

Qiao Lian considered it for a moment, but she still said, “The noodles I’ve cooked might not taste very delicious—”

“They’re delicious…”

Qiao Lian’s heart beat increased and a strong surge of happiness filled her heart.

Shen Liangchuan thought her noodles were delicious?

As she gathered her thoughts, she heard the next words, “… in your dreams.”

Qiao Lian: …

Shen Liangchuan walked towards her and said, “The way you cook the meat strips, vegetables and noodles make the meat too watery, and your vegetables also get easily over-cooked.”

Looking at how he was picking on her noodles, Qiao Lian felt unhappy.

How dared he say that her noodles didn’t taste nice?

Recalling the year when she cooked for the first time, her father had been full of praises for it and finished everything. He even patted her head and exclaimed, “My Xiao Qiao has grown up! I’m so relieved she knows how to cook for me now!”

After her father had passed away, Xiao Yi would also praise the noodles she cooked.

In the period of time where they had lived together, their daily supper was always vegetables and meat strips with noodles. And it had lasted for a whole three years!

She twitched her lips with unhappiness and lowered her head, saying softy, “Then how about you do it instead!”

She had not realized that she had stopped being so careful with her words when she was with Shen Liangchuan, she had started saying whatever she wanted.

However, Shen Liangchuan had realized it. The real nature of the girl before him was becoming increasingly similar to the girl he had known eight years ago.

His mood suddenly got better. He nodded and said, “Ok.”

Qiao Lian: …

Shen Liangchuan rolled up his sleeves and walked into the kitchen. He picked up the vegetables and meat strips on the floor and threw them into the dustbin. Afterwards, he picked up a piece of meat, cut it and placed it into the small bowl to marinate it. Then, he turned on the fire and fried the meat. His actions were adept, they even looked artistic.

Qiao Lian stood beside him. By the time the noodles were almost done cooking, he had already placed the vegetables and meat strips into the pot and stirred them. Shortly after, the two hot bowls of noodles were ready to be served.

This was really… a perfect combination of color, aroma and taste!

Qiao Lian picked up her chopsticks and took a mouthful. Her eyes shone at once. “It’s delicious!”

Comparing this to the noodles she cooked, the food she had been eating with Xiao Yi for the past three years was literally pig’s food!

As Shen Liangchuan watched the girl eat, his glance got increasingly gentle.

She was still that simple, she could be appeased by a bowl of noodles.

However, why would a person with such innocent thoughts do such a thing? He would have never believed it if he hadn’t seen it for himself.

As he thought about it, his expression became cold again and he suddenly lost his appetite.
