Chapter 25: Her Perfect Cooking Skills!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Li An’an kept her children company for two days before restarting work.

However, it had been raining constantly for the past few days. She could only stay in the house and feel depressed.

Chu Yichen came downstairs. His stomach was not feeling well today, so he did not go to work.

“Li An’an, go cook some porridge for Young Master. His stomach is acting up again.”

Butler Chu gave the order. Before she was retained as a maid here, she had aced the cooking test. Therefore, since Auntie Zhang was not around today, she would have to do the cooking.

“Okay.”

Li An’an put on an apron and skillfully started to prepare the porridge.

There was a period of time when she was so busy with work that she always forgot to eat, and ended up with gastritis. After that, she began to pay special attention to her diet. For the sake of her three children, she could not let herself fall sick. It was also from then that she mastered many ways to make porridge. Her three babies loved her porridge so much that they could almost lick their bowls clean!

She took out Chinese yams from the fridge, washed and peeled them, and cut them into small pieces. Then, she broke dried lily bulbs into pieces, and combined both with rice and barley to make yam and lily bulb porridge.

This porridge was especially a test of one’s culinary skills. If one was not careful, it would not taste good. Fortunately, she had a lot of practice cooking it. When she controlled the heat well, it tasted even silkier and more delicious.

Two hours later, the fragrance of the porridge wafted out of the kitchen. It was getting stronger and stronger, making everyone drool.

Li An’an placed a bowl of the velvety white porridge on the dining table and waited for Chu Yichen to come downstairs.

Chu Yichen walked down, looking pale and sullen because he was not feeling well.

He sat at the dining table and didn’t want to eat at first, but the butler repeatedly persuaded him, and he finally picked up the spoon to try a mouthful.

Gradually, his brows relaxed. Because he was very busy, he had gastric problems. Every time his illness acted up, he did not have much of an appetite. Yet today, when he took a bite of the silky and delicious porridge, it left a lingering fragrance in his mouth, and brought his appetite back.

He finished an entire bowl.

“Who cooked this?” he asked.

Butler Chu glanced at Li An’an.

Li An’an replied, “Auntie Zhang isn’t here, so I was asked to do it.”

Li An’an didn’t dare to look at Chu Yichen. He knew that Auntie Zhang didn’t cook the porridge the moment he ate it. No wonder he was so picky.

Chu Yichen suddenly asked.

“Did you go to the mall two days ago?”

“No, I was sick and resting at home.”

Chu Yichen sneered. He took a white napkin and wiped the corner of his mouth. “There’s a price to pay for lying to me. Think carefully before you speak!”

Li An’an was terrified, but for the sake of her three children, she would never admit it.

Chu Yichen couldn’t have seen the children, could he? No, it couldn’t be that coincidental, and he wouldn’t be so calm if he did! He was trying to get information out of her.

“I really didn’t. I was sick. Don’t tell me you saw someone else and thought of me? I didn’t know you cared so much about me. Thank you for your concern. I’m very touched.” Li An’an looked deeply moved.

Chu Yichen pursed his lips and stood up from the dining chair.

“Butler Chu, her punishment is to mop all the corridors on the second floor.”

“And from tomorrow, she’ll make a bowl of porridge every day.”

With that, Chu Yichen walked upstairs. He would never admit this, but that latter part was the real punishment he had intended!

Li An’an complained silently, “Just say so if you wanted to eat porridge! You must be nuts if you think that excuse is convincing!”

Butler Chu walked to Li An’an’s side.

“Li An’an, the hospital keeps records. As long as you’ve been there, it can be verified. Do you remember Bai Feifei?”

“What happened to her?”

Butler Chu smiled mysteriously. “Long story short, it was very embarrassing for her. She tried to drug Young Master, but she reaped what she sowed. Don’t follow in her footsteps.”

Li An’an looked at Butler Chu’s retreating back, feeling indignant.

That was a threat, and it was beyond reason.

In a fit of anger, she went upstairs and mopped the entire place spotless.

Chu Yichen, on the other hand, continued working in the study on the second floor. Thus, the day went by.

Li An’an’s back was killing her. This was the most tiring day she had ever experienced since she started working as a maid. Damn him. She was exhausted.

She had to resign from this place.

When she knocked off work that night, Butler Chu brought her some news.

“Li An’an, Auntie Zhang broke her leg when she was out. She needs to recuperate for two months. From now on, the kitchen will be handed over to you. You can ask Auntie Zhang about Young Master’s preferences!”
