Chapter 114: One hundred thirteen, Birthday
Not until a burnt smell wafted over did Luo Shu remember the meal she was cooking, and she quickly pushed Lu Hanmo aside to check on the stove behind her, "Oh no! The food is all burnt, and it’s all your fault." "It’s okay, we can eat something else if it’s burnt." Lu Hanmo gave an unconcerned smile, stepped forward, and took the pot from Luo Shu’s hands to deal with it.
Luo Shu gave Lu Hanmo a sidelong glance, walked to the side, and picked up the steak she had seasoned earlier to check on it, finding that it had marinated quite nicely. Since there was red wine, steak was definitely a must.
"Why did you take leave today?" Luo Shu asked, walking over with the steak.
"I wanted to celebrate your birthday with you. I was hoping to surprise you, but it turns out we had the same idea." Lu Hanmo dumped the burnt food into a plastic bin nearby, then washed the pot clean and put it back on the stove.
"It’s a good thing you weren’t on a mission this time; otherwise, I would’ve come for nothing. In the future, I’ll call you first before coming here," Luo Shu said as she poured some oil into the pot, waited for it to heat up a little, and then placed the marinated steak inside.
Soon, the delicious smell of food once again filled the room.
Having served the prepared dishes one by one, Luo Shu accepted the glass of red wine Lu Hanmo had poured for her and clinked glasses with him, smiling, "Brother Lu, happy birthday!"
