Xi Xiaye parked her car and then got down.
When she reached home, she could hear the music playing in the living room from afar. The man must be cooking in the kitchen.
She set her things aside and then walked straight to the kitchen. Indeed, she saw a man in casual home clothes leisurely seasoning as the stove on the side was brewing something on a low fire to. She stood at the door and could smell a tempting aroma. Unable to help herself, she gulped.
Her starry eyes twinkled, and she subconsciously looked around. Unexpectedly, she found Shen Yue handling a fish on the sink.
Mu Yuchen set aside the seasoning he had prepared and took the fish from Shen Yue as he asked softly, “Sweet and sour fish or steamed in broth?”
“Let’s make sweet and sour fish. It’ll go great with rice! Ah Chen, I realize that your culinary skills are better than your mother’s. That girl Xiaye isn’t good with this too. Your mother used to always talk about that, worried that she would be disliked because of it when she gets married.”
Shen Yue took over the ginger and started washing it.
While upon hearing this, Mu Yuchen chuckled. “Who dares to dislike her? It’s not such a bad thing that she can’t master it. Some women are meant to be protected. To me, she and Mother are like that.”
