Chapter 710 An Unwilling Look
riumphantly and said, “He's my personal bodyguard now. They seem to have served in the military before, but I don't know the specifics.”The person he was referring to, of course, was Chen Bo, who had..."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 to mix well."
Murong Xue wore a dark expression, remaining motionless. Ye Fan said curiously, "Is there something wrong"
Murong Xue looked at the lively big fish with shame and said, "I can't kill fish…"
"You can perform such complex surgery on the human brain, yet you can't even kill a fish" Ye Fan thought to himself with amusement.
Murong Xue felt even more embarrassed. From a young age, she had been particularly intelligent, mastering anything she learned quickly. However, her cooking skills were abysmal; she had barely ever stepped into the kitchen. This was partly due to her mother, Zhu Mei, who possessed extraordinary culinary talents. Before studying medicine, Murong Xue had always dreamed of one day being able to cook a delicious and fragrant feast with her own hands!
After work, she often had to work late and couldn't go home until very late. There was no time to realize her dream. Now seeing Ye Fan's skilled cooking skills, she felt envious. Suddenly, an idea sparked in her heart, a bold idea that kept 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 shining with excitement. She couldn't help but grab Ye Fan and say, "Your cooking is so good, why don't you teach me how to cook in the future"
Murong Xue's eyes were full of anticipation.
"Teach you how to cook" Ye Fan was taken aback. He had never thought that besides his skills, 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 to say, "Okay, but my cooking skills were learned from my master. If you want to learn from me, then you have to become my disciple!" Ye Fan's master was the old man.
"Oh, that's so much trouble Why don't you just teach me a couple of things casually, no need for master-disciple formality, alright"
Ye Fan deliberately put on a stern expression and said solemnly, "How can that be done Culinary arts are profound and complex. If you don't put in hard work, you definitely won't learn the true essence. Besides, this is a rule of our sect. Do you think I want to take advantage of you" Ye Fan pretended to be angry, but in fact, he was just talking nonsense.
Murong Xue furrowed her small brow, looking very unwilling.
Ye Fan was stunned. He had heard that in ancient times, it was rumored 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 alluring beauty that was mesmerizing. She was truly a femme fatale who could captivate nations and bring ruin to kingdoms.
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, and otherwise, they would each use their own names.
Ye Fan naturally readily agreed. He had unexpectedly gained a beautiful female disciple for nothing, and this disciple was even a Nobel Prize winner in medicine. If he told people, his reputation as a master would surely improve. It seemed like he had made a profit this time, hehe…
In a short while, Ye Fan brought up a tray of fragrant dishes. From afar, Murong Lin could smell the rich aroma filling the room. Now that the food was served, it looked appetizing with its color, aroma, and taste, making one's appetite soar.
Mr. Mu Ronglin was a man who had been thoroughly exasperated by his wife's cooking over the years. However, under her domineering control, he dared not complain. Every time, he could only pretend to enjoy the meal she made, but after enduring it, Mr. Mu Ronglin 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 grabbed his chopsticks and put the biggest shrimp in his mouth, muttering "Delicious, delicious!" over and over again.
Ye Fan smiled and said, "Dean, don't worry, there are still many dishes to be served. Eat slowly." Saying that, he went back into the kitchen to fetch more dishes.
Zhuge Mei was greatly dissatisfied with Lao Touzi's performance. He had never eaten his own cooking like this before, could it be that what Ye Fan cooked was even better than his
So she scolded the old man for being impolite, and then picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth. After just one chew, she found the taste to be fragrant and refreshing, instantly awakening her appetite. Although she didn't say it was delicious, her actions spoke volumes. She scooped up the dishes with the same speed as Murong Lin.
Ye Fan hadn't brought out all the dishes yet, but the two of them were already devouring the food below.
"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 love.
Since she found out that Ye Fan was the grandson of Ye Kongxian, she had a drastically different view of him. Now, seeing him cook such delicious food completely surprised her. This man, with his illustrious family background and exceptional cooking skills, would undoubtedly be a good husband. It just so happened that Xue wouldn't cook, so having him around would perfectly compensate for her shortcomings. Thinking this way, Zhu Mei's gaze towards Ye Fan changed, becoming like a mother-in-law looking at her daughter-in-law, the more she looked, the more she liked him.
Being stared at for so long by an elderly woman, even Ye Fan, who already felt his face was thick enough, still felt uncomfortable all over. "Auntie, is there something wrong with me"
Murong Xue glared at her mother, but Zhu Mei remained unmoved. Murong Lin, on the other hand, was only focused on eating his vegetables, ignoring everything else.
"Xiao Ye, how old are you this year" Zhu Mei asked kindly.
"Twenty." Ye Fan was a little uncomfortable with Zhu Mei's changing 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 an "oh," not understanding.
"Mom, why are you talking about this Just eat your meal," Murong Xue said unhappily.
Mei ignored Murong Xue and instead turned to Ye Fan, saying, “Little Ye, when are you planning to get married”
Ye Fan, who was eating, almost choked on his rice and coughed violently. After hearing this, Murong Xue's face flushed red all at once, she hurriedly ate her rice, seemingly lost in thought.
Zhu Mei watched from the side, panicked. She hurriedly said, "A Xue, quickly go get some water! You'll regret it if you let my little Ye choke!" The way she spoke made it seem like she was very close to Ye Fan, but who had just given him a cold shoulder
Murong Xue then reacted and handed him a glass of water. Ye Fan took a sip and felt much better. He looked at Zhu Mei in astonishment and said, "Mother-in-law, I haven't been dating A Xue for long. Isn't it too early to talk about this now"
Indeed, they've only been 'dating' for two hours!Ye Fan had already decided to help Yu Fei, but he hadn't figured out how to do it yet, so he didn't discuss it with her.However, Ye Fan knew that newcomers and stars were what Yu Fei needed most right...
