If Pei Yuchengās consciousness hadnāt possessed Lin Yan earlier on, he would have believed the flowery, sweet words she had just said.
Pei Yucheng stared quietly at the girl as he listened to how sincere she sounded when she declared that she wanted to give the best present to the most beloved and important person in her life.
It was sweeter than the first time he had tasted chocolate.
āThank you.ā Pei Yucheng chuckled lightly as he held on to the present. āI like it very much.ā
The manās enchanting smile hit Lin Yan, who entered a daze. For no reason, she suddenly felt that going bankrupt for his smile was worth it.
āNoā¦ You donāt have toā¦ As long as you like itā¦ā Lin Yan hurriedly squashed that scary thought.
They entered the room and sat down at the dining table.
Lin Yan picked up a pork rib for Pei Yucheng eagerly. She coughed gently to clear her throat. āI havenāt cooked in a long whileā¦ Iām not sure what it will taste likeā¦ā
āMiss Lin, youāre too humble. The food looks good.ā Pei Yucheng praised himself unabashedly.
He tried the pork ribs before he picked up a piece for Lin Yan.
āThank you!ā Lin Yan had been starving, so her stomach started rumbling at the sight of the food. She shoved the meat right into her mouth.
Forget it. That sister had helped her out this time and even cooked this feastā¦ She decided to forgive herā¦
Lin Yan was chewing the food as she thought.
A second later, a familiar sensation struck her. Her soul seemed to have departed from her body!
Lin Yan instinctively spat out the pork rib and scowled at it.
F*ck! Was the food poisoned?
āWhatās wrong?ā asked Pei Yucheng in puzzlement. āIs it awful?ā
āIā¦ā Couldnāt he tell that the food tasted horrible?
The fact that Pei Yucheng couldnāt taste food had almost slipped her mind again.
āErrrā¦ā Lin Yan swallowed the words that she wanted to say hastily. āNothingā¦ Nothing, itās just a little hotā¦ā
She forced herself to swallow the pork rib once more. āItās niceā¦ Itās yummyā¦ I cooked well todayā¦ā
Lin Yan would rather die than betray herself. How could she criticize her own cooking?
F*ck! That assh*le! How could she be so horrible at cooking? How dare she claim that she could cook well?
It was fortunate that Pei Yucheng couldnāt taste anything. Otherwise, she would have been in deep trouble!
What kind of feud or grudge did she have against her?
How could this be a birthday present? She was trying to poison him!
Pei Yucheng grunted in response. He picked up more food for Lin Yan and said, āMiss Lin, youāve worked hard today. You should eat more.ā
Lin Yan glared at the food and felt like dying.
She hadnāt expected to meet someone whose cooking was more terrifying than Pei Yuchengās!
Lin Yan was wallowing in misery when she suddenly realized somethingā¦
These braised pork ribsā¦ reminded her of Pei Yuchengās cooking.
Usually, there would be a method for cooking a certain dish or achieving a similar taste. However, it couldnāt be easy for someone to make such horrible food while maintaining the aesthetic appeal, right?
