Chapter 154 Ye Xiaoning’s Cooking Skills_1

Just from the occasional hint of pride in his eyes, Xu Yixue sensed that he wouldn’t stoop to such sleazy behavior.

So, Xu Yixue steadied her mind and said to Ye Xiaoning, “I believe he wouldn’t do anything outrageous. Look at him, even though he seems lazy on the surface, he’s actually prouder than anyone else. How could someone so proud do something that even he himself would despise?”

“Yeah, now that you mention it, it does seem to be the case.” Ye Xiaoning also recalled Xu Fan’s recent behavior, which indeed revealed a superior pride at every turn.

After all, Xu Fan was once the young master of the Xu Family, one of the four great families of Yan Country, and now, he had become an incredibly mysterious master of ancient martial arts and medical skills. A person this formidable certainly didn’t need to do anything sordid.

“Alright, no need to overthink it, let’s get cooking,” Xu Yixue urged Ye Xiaoning with a smile.

“Yixue, is Tongtong that attached to him now? She doesn’t even want to let him go. Looks like your position is in jeopardy,” Ye Xiaoning joked while chopping vegetables, teasing Xu Yixue.

“Ah, Tongtong does seem to get along with him pretty well. She’s never felt a father’s love since she was little, and now suddenly having such a dad, of course she would be clingy,” Xu Yixue said with a hint of sourness.

“It’s fine if Tongtong is duped by him, but Xu Yixue, you need to stand firm in your own heart. Don’t be like Tongtong and get tricked by this guy too,” Ye Xiaoning teased Xu Yixue with a playful smile.

“Hmph! You little brat, do you want to die? Even daring to tease your sister…” Xu Yixue caught some water in her hand and flicked it towards Ye Xiaoning’s neck.

“Yixue, I was wrong, I didn’t say anything… spare me…” Ye Xiaoning hunched her long neck, quickly dodging to the side.

“I’m going to tear your mouth apart for the things you say…” Xu Yixue relented, hugging Ye Xiaoning, her hand wet with water droplets, reaching straight for Ye Xiaoning’s neck.

“I dare not… ah… Yixue, you’re too mean…” Ye Xiaoning cried out in alarm while tussling with Xu Yixue, the two of them entangled in a playful struggle.

In Tongtong’s bedroom, Xu Fan, hearing Ye Xiaoning’s scream, released his Divine Sense and saw it was just the two of them horsing around, their voluptuous bodies entangled, hair flying in disarray; then, he gently retracted his Divine Sense.

After all, Xu Fan, now just a mere mortal in the flesh, couldn’t avoid the desires of humans, every single one of them. Seeing such a kid-inappropriate scene, it’s only tormenting himself.

Even if he wanted a woman, he would only seek one who was truly willing. Xu Yixue made a good point; Xu Fan’s eyes would indeed occasionally show a hint of arrogance.

As the past Five-Direction Heavenly Emperor, Xu Fan indeed wouldn’t harbor any base thoughts.

The woman he wanted would have to belong to him completely, both body and mind. If her heart was not his, what use was her body to him? As the Five-Direction Heavenly Emperor, he had seen countless celestial beauties in his past life. This life, he was here to seek the deepest human emotion that he most lacked, so as for carnal desires, he wasn’t particularly concerned.

“Dad, what are you thinking about?” Tongtong saw Xu Fan deep in thought, waved her little hand cutely, and asked him.

“I’m thinking about what delicious food Mommy has made for Tongtong,” Xu Fan replied to Tongtong with a smile.

“Mom and Auntie must have made Tongtong’s favorite dishes, Daddy has to try some later, Auntie’s cooking is as delicious as Daddy’s,” Tongtong said, swaying her head a bit proudly towards Xu Fan.

“Oh? Then I must definitely give it a try, to see if anyone’s cooking can match up to Daddy’s standards,” Xu Fan said with a smile.

Actually, Xu Fan had previously been the young master of one of the four great families, his hands never sullied by spring water, and he didn’t know how to cook; he learned on the fly through online videos on his phone. However, his extraordinary ability to mimic allowed him to replicate the dishes made by chefs in the videos exactly.

As for Ye Xiaoning, her culinary skills were genuinely self-taught.

After spending another half hour with Tongtong, Xu Yixue walked into Tongtong’s room and said to Xu Fan, “Dinner is ready, please bring Tongtong out to eat.”

“Okay!” Xu Fan agreed, picked up Tongtong in his arms, and walked out of the room.

Tongtong was incredibly familiar with the house. As soon as Xu Fan put her down, she hopped off his arms and scurried to the dining area to grab her little apron for eating and put it on over her chest.

“Daddy, come and eat, the food Auntie made is really aromatic,” Tongtong called out excitedly from her little stool, waving at Xu Fan.

This was the first time Xu Fan was having a meal with Xu Yixue. Although he didn’t feel awkward, he did notice that both Xu Yixue and Ye Xiaoning were a bit nervous, which made him feel a hint of tension too.

Xu Fan shook his head, tossing aside the slight nervousness in his mind, and sat down at the table with ease, picking up his bowl and chopsticks.

There were five dishes on the table: Golden Shrimp Balls, Tomato Beef Stew, Egg Foo Young Chicken Slices, Stir-Fried Bamboo Shoots, and a Cold Okra Salad. There was also a pot of Coconut Seafood Soup. The selection was a well-balanced mix of meat and vegetables, lively in color, and rich in fragrance, truly a feast for all the senses.

Earlier, Tongtong had said that Ye Xiaoning’s cooking was as good as Xu Fan’s and now Xu Fan could humbly deny that. Ye Xiaoning’s culinary skills were definitely superior to his own; Tongtong was really flattering her dad.

“Hurry up and eat, or the dishes will get cold,” Xu Yixue gently served a bowl of rice for Xu Fan and placed it in front of him.

It could have been an illusion, but when Xu Fan saw Xu Yixue serving the rice, he suddenly felt a sense of virtue emanating from the beautiful woman, which stirred something even in his heart, accustomed as he was to gorgeous ladies.

“Daddy, eat quickly! Tongtong has already had two pieces of meat,” Tongtong called out, waving her little spoon while chewing vigorously.

“Okay, Daddy will eat too,” Xu Fan said as he picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and started eating.

Seeing Xu Fan enjoying his meal, Xu Yixue, for some reason, impulsively picked up a piece of beef and placed it in Xu Fan’s bowl.

“Eat more, thank you for today,” Xu Yixue added after serving him the beef, then felt her cheeks flush red, but she still mustered the politeness to speak to Xu Fan.
