Chapter 571 - 571 Confession
571 Confession
Forty minutes later, Mr. Qin returned. As soon as he opened the door, he could smell a rich fragrance.
“Huh, why does it smell different from usual today? What are you making?” As he spoke, he walked towards the kitchen.
At this moment, Mrs. Qin came out of the washroom. Seeing him return, she looked at him with a smile and said mysteriously, “You’re back. Do you smell the fragrance? Guess who’s cooking today?”
Mr. Qin put down his briefcase and took off his suit. He asked curiously, “Is Mom here?”
He was referring to Qin Xi’s grandmother. Mr. Qin did not have many relatives. Qin Xi’s grandparents had also pa.s.sed away before she was born. Mr. Qin also had an elder brother. However, Qin Xi had never seen this legendary uncle. She only heard Mr. Qin mention him occasionally.
Mrs. Qin smiled and shook her head. “No, guess again!”
Mr. Qin was speechless. “Apart from Mom, the rest of them rarely come to our house. I don’t know.”
“It’s your daughter. She said she wanted to cook dinner for us. She’s been in there for an hour and hasn’t come out yet. However, this smell is indeed better than my cooking.”
As Mrs. Qin spoke, her eyes were filled with pride.
However, Qin Xi did not seem to be Qin Xi anymore…
“Didn’t she say that she wanted to stay at her cla.s.smate’s house? Why is she back? Also, when did she learn to cook?” Mr. Qin said in disbelief as he walked towards the kitchen.
Mrs. Qin quickly pulled him back. “Don’t go in. Xi doesn’t allow us to watch. Didn’t you see that she closed the door?”
“Oh, okay!” Mr. Qin nodded and smiled. “Xi has grown up. She even cooks for us.”
Soon, the kitchen door opened. When Qin Xi saw that Mr. Qin was back, she smiled happily. “Dad, you’re back. Hurry up and wash your hands. It’s time to eat.”
Mr. Qin couldn’t stop smiling. “Alright, I’ll go wash my hands now.”
“Are you done? Let me help you take out the dishes,” Mrs. Qin said as she walked towards the kitchen.
Qin Xi pulled Mrs. Qin to the dining table and ‘forced’ her to sit down. “You don’t have to do anything today. Just try my cooking. It’s just a few dishes. I can do it myself.”
Then, plates of delicious-looking dishes were served. They were all home-cooked dishes. There were tomatoes with eggs, steamed ba.s.s, braised pork ribs, eggplant with sauce, fish-flavored shredded pork, and so on. There were a total of eight dishes and a soup. Every dish looked and smelled very tempting, especially the braised pork ribs.
Mrs. Qin was shocked!
Mr. Qin was also shocked!
Seeing that her parents were dumbfounded, Qin Xi smiled and did not say anything. Instead, she took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet and looked at them. She said in a clear voice, “Dad, Mom, let’s drink tonight!”
“Drink? You’re still a child. You can’t.”
Mr. Qin subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Qin Xi smiled and took out the plug with her bare hands. Mr. and Mrs. Qin looked at each other and were so shocked that they were speechless.
“Xi…”
“Xi, you…”
Qin Xi poured red wine for the two of them and said gently, “Dad, Mom, I have something to tell you today!”
