Chapter 52 Displaying Culinary Skills

“If she could actually make a meal, I bet all the mice in the world would have died off!” “Oh my! I’m quaking in my boots.” “And then look at Chu Youxuan’s live stream. Now that’s what you call a picture of maternal love and filial piety.” Chu Youxuan, in order to beat Li Xingwan and bring back the popularity to her live stream, did all the cooking herself. Everything looked proper and in order. Her stepson was also raised to be plump and healthy. But while it looked fine, something always seemed off. Li Xingwan felt awkward and pointed angrily at the little bun. “Can you stop calling him ‘your husband’ all the time, can you?” She was not familiar with that man. Fu Xiaomo was stunned for a moment, then he said very seriously, “So you’re just like me, huh? I don’t want to acknowledge a dad, and you don’t want to acknowledge a husband.” You don’t want to acknowledge a husband… Li Xingwan: “!!!” The main issue is the unfamiliarity. If the original owner wasn’t familiar with him, let alone her! As she was thinking this, suddenly she felt a penetrating gaze on her. Li Xingwan’s scalp tingled. Sure enough, when she turned around, she saw the man standing behind her. “…” “Li Xingwan: Thank you very much.” “Fu Xiaomo, you really are Mommy’s good son.” “Hahahaha…” Everyone in the live-streaming room burst into collective laughter while also watching the live-stream screen with extreme nervousness. The production team was the same. They were all curious to see what reaction this man would have. Who knows, this might become a huge highlight of the show. However, the man with his arm covered in Buddha beads just gave them a quick glance and then suppressed all the sharpness in his eyes. He slid his phone into the pocket of his trousers. “What would you like to eat?” he asked. “???” “Is that it?” Everyone in the live-streaming room was confused, including the production team on site. This kind of indifferent expression from him didn’t make Li Xingwan feel any better; instead, her scalp felt even more numb. Thinking about the things she had in her bedroom earlier and then recalling what her stepson had just said. Li Xingwan felt like she might be on her way to the afterlife. It was somewhat like having the feeling that her man was inadequate, and she was considering an affair. Yes, that was the vibe. “I’ll do it then!” Li Xingwan deeply felt that she must give it her all once more. The persona of a virtuous wife and good mother absolutely could not be lost again. Having said that, she headed straight to the kitchen without looking back. In the morning, all Fu Chengzhou had to do was take out his phone and look up some recipes to make something. If he could do it, then she, Li Xingwan, definitely could too!!! Taking out her phone, Li Xingwan started to look seriously. At first, she wanted to make something very simple, but then she felt it was too simple and would make her look like she had no skills. Forget chicken soup then; drinking some at night would be nourishing. That shouldn’t be too difficult. After putting down her phone, Li Xingwan took the chicken out of the fridge and placed it on the cutting board. As she looked at the next step, she became bewildered. “Chop… chop? The chicken needs to be chopped up?” Couldn’t she just throw the whole chicken in the water, boil it, and have soup?!! But if she gave up now, she wouldn’t have anything else to make. Forget it; she’ll endure it. “Sorry, big brother.” Li Xingwan tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and picked up the cleaver beside her. “It’s not me who killed you; I’m just responsible for the chopping.” “Pfft! Hahahaha…” The viewers in the live-streaming room burst out laughing. “Li Xingwan is such a blockhead! That chicken is already dead and plucked. What’s there to be afraid of?”
