Chapter 710: Unwillingly
sunderstanding. My pen just accidentally fell to the ground, I was just picking it up..." Ye Fan quickly explained himself, but his heart felt a chill. He wasn't the only one peeking! How did they fin..."What are you looking at Hurry up and clean this fish for me. Remember to cut the head and body apart, and add plenty of ginger and vinegar."
Murong Xue wore a dark expression, hesitant to move. Ye Fan said strangely, "Is there something wrong"
Muran Xue looked at the lively big fish and said ashamedly, “I can’t kill fish…”
"You can perform such complex surgeries on the human brain, yet you can't even kill a fish" Ye Fan wanted to laugh.
Murong Xue felt even more embarrassed. From a young age, she had been exceptionally intelligent, mastering anything she learned quickly. However, her cooking skills were abysmal, to say the least. She had hardly ever stepped into the kitchen. This was partly due to her mother, Zhu Mei, who possessed extraordinary culinary talent. Before pursuing medicine, Murong Xue harbored a dream: one day, she would be able to cook a delicious and fragrant feast with her own hands!
It's just that after work, she often works overtime until very late before being able to go home. There is no time at all to help her realize this dream. Now, seeing Ye Fan's skilled cooking skills, she is filled with envy. Suddenly, an idea strikes her mind, and a bold thought keeps flashing in her mind!
The more Murong Xue thought about it, the more excited she became. The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. She felt like she could see the future chef right in front of her, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She couldn't help but grab Ye Fan and say, "Your cooking skills are so good, why don't you teach me how to cook in the future!"
Muran Xue's eyes were filled with anticipation.
"Teach you how to cook" Ye Fan was taken aback. He had never thought that besides his martial arts, someone would want to learn from him. He wanted to refuse on the spot, but seeing Murong Xue's expectant eyes, he couldn't bring himself to say no. So he pretended and said, "Alright, but my cooking skills were learned from my master. If you want to learn from me, then you have to take me as your teacher!" Ye Fan's master was the old man.
"Oh, it's so much trouble Why don't you just casually teach me a couple of moves, no need for apprenticeship, alright"
Ye Fan deliberately put on a stern face and said seriously, "How can that work Culinary arts are profound and extensive. If you don't work hard, you definitely won't learn the real deal. Besides, this is the rule of my sect. Do you think I want to take advantage of you" Ye Fan pretended to be very angry, but in fact he was just talking nonsense.
Muran Xue frowned, looking very unwilling.
Ye Fan was stunned. He had heard that in ancient times, there was a legend that Xishi's appearance when she was angry was even more captivating than usual. And now Murong Xue was exactly like that. Her every smile held an irresistible allure, truly a beauty that could captivate nations and bring ruin to homes.
After a difficult ideological struggle, Murong Xue was still defeated by her dream. However, she told Ye Fan that she would only call him "Master" when the two of them were alone. At other times, they would just call each other by their names.
Ye Fan naturally agreed readily. He had gained a beautiful female disciple for nothing, and this disciple was even a Nobel Prize winner in medicine! Telling others about this, his master's face would surely be radiant with glory. It seemed like this time, he had made a profit, hehe...
In no time, Ye Fan carried up a tray of fragrant dishes. Even from afar, Murong Lin could smell the rich aroma filling the room. Now that the food was served, it looked delicious and inviting, making one's appetite soar.
Mr. Murong Lin was a seasoned old man, and over the years, he had grown weary of his wife's cooking. Yet, under her domineering rule, he dared not complain. Every time, he could only feign enjoyment as he ate her meals. In reality, after enduring her cooking, Mr. Murong Lin would sneak out to a small restaurant for a proper meal.
Before Ye Fan could bring all the dishes to the table, he couldn't wait any longer. He picked up the biggest shrimp and popped it into his mouth, muttering "Delicious, delicious!" over and over again.
Ye Fan smiled and said, “Dean, don't rush, there are still many dishes to be served. Please eat slowly.” Saying that, he entered the kitchen again to serve the dishes.
Zhu Mei was greatly displeased with the old man's performance. He had never eaten his home-cooked dishes like this before. Could it be that what Ye Fan cooked was even better than her own
So she scolded the old man for his lack of manners, while also picking up a piece of meat and putting it in her mouth. After just one chew, she felt a burst of fragrance and her appetite was immediately piqued. Although she didn't say it tasted good, her actions spoke volumes. She scooped up food at a pace that rivaled Murong Lin's.
Before Ye Fan could bring up all the dishes, the two of them started eating ravenously downstairs.
"Xiaoye, I didn't expect you to be so capable. The dishes you made are really delicious!" Zhu Mei looked at Ye Fan with a smile, her face filled with undisguised affection.
Since she found out that Ye Fan was the grandson of Ye Kongxian, her view of Ye Fan changed drastically. Now, seeing him cook such delicious food completely surprised her. This man, with his illustrious family background and cooking skills, would definitely be a good husband. And since Xue'er can't cook, having him around would perfectly cover up her shortcomings. Thinking this way, Zhu Mei's eyes looking at Ye Fan changed, transforming into the gaze of a mother-in-law looking at her daughter-in-law, loving him more and more with each glance.
Being stared at for so long by an elderly woman, even Ye Fan, who felt his face was already thick-skinned, felt uncomfortable all over. "Auntie, is there something wrong with me"
Murong Xue glared at her mother, but Zhu Mei remained unmoved. As for Murong Lin, he just focused on eating his vegetables, ignoring everything else.
"Xiaoye, how old are you this year" Zhu Mei asked kindly.
"Twenty." Ye Fan was a little uncomfortable with Zhu Mei's change in tone, it shifted too quickly, giving him a huge psychological gap.
"Our Xuexue is nineteen this year." Zhu Mei glanced at her daughter.
Ye Fan let out a sound of "oh", seeming confused.
"Mom, why are you talking about this Just eat your meal," Murong Xue said impatiently.
"Wishing Mei ignored Murong Xue and instead turned her head to continue addressing Ye Fan: "Little Ye, when are you planning to get married"
Ye Fan, who was eating, almost choked on his food. He was so surprised that he couldn't speak. As for Murong Xue, her face turned red after hearing this, and she began to eat her rice hastily, lost in thought.
Mei was beside herself with worry and quickly said, "A-xue, go get some water quickly! My little Ye is choking. You'll be sorry!" The way she spoke, it sounded like she and Ye Fan were very close. She wouldn't have even known who had just given Ye Fan a cold face.
Murong Xue then reacted, handing him a cup of water. Ye Fan took a sip and felt his breath flow more smoothly. He looked at Zhu Mei in astonishment and said, "Aunt, I haven't been dating A Xue for long. Isn't it too early to talk about this now"
Indeed, they have only been 'dating' for two hours! it's not that I value him, but Miss does. Well, since he agreed to come, you go in first. I'll call Miss, she'll definitely be here soon..." Qin Biao, dressed in black, smiled.(4)"Really, Sister Liu...
