Xia Xinyan was a bit ashamed as she scooped up the food in the bowl. She was too embarra.s.sed to look the man in the eye.
"Honestly, do you know how to cook?" Ji Mucheng put down his chopsticks, crossed his hands on the table, and looked at her tenderly.
I know how to cook, but in fact, most of the dishes abroad were cooked by my aunt. I"ve only learned a few things from her." Xia Xinyan was finally about to speak the truth. In fact, she had spent a lot of time and effort in improving her culinary skills, but she didn"t know how she had done it. Her hands could draw a beautiful picture with a brush, but once she picked up a spatula, she was beaten back to her original form.
"Well, it looks like our candlelight di
er will have to be moved to the dining room." Ji Mu Cheng chuckled softly.
"I"m sorry, I was just trying to show off. Are you going to get angry?" It was rare for Xia Xin to take the initiative and admit his mistake.
"Angry? Why should I be angry? " Ji Mu Cheng shrugged, "I never asked my woman to cook in the kitchen."
Xia Xinyan breathed a sigh of relief, and laughed awkwardly, "Sometimes I can cook, and sometimes when I"m nervous, the food I cook is bad."
"I don"t blame you. It"s normal for you to take care of your children by yourself, work hard, and not be in the mood to learn anything else." Ji Mu Cheng wasn"t angry at all. On the contrary, he felt a pang in his heart. Everyone only had twenty-four hours, and Xia Xin Xin was a weak woman, so she couldn"t possibly be proficient in everything.
"I messed up tonight"s di
er." Xia Xin was still ashamed. If she hadn"t shown off her abilities, she wouldn"t have let the two of them starve till now.
"Stop blaming yourself. Let"s go. I"ll have someone come over and clean up this place. There"s a restaurant downstairs." The man rose and took her hand.
Xia Xinxin had no choice but to get up, grab her coat, and follow him out.
"It"s almost 9 o"clock, there"s no place for food. How about we order takeout?" Xia Xinyan knew that no dining hall would receive guests at this point.
"For takeout?" The man frowned and replied, "I"ve eaten before when I was still in university. I haven"t eaten for a long time."
"Then you wait, I"ll scream, what do you want to eat?" Xia Xinyan asked curiously.
"Forget it, why don"t we just walk around the neighborhood and see if there"s anything we can eat?" "The takeout must have taken a long time, this is the first time that Ji Mu City has felt so hungry." "Fine, take-out also requires time. I"m starving." Xia Xinyan subconsciously touched her belly and it went down.
Ji Mu Cheng looked at her angrily: "If you don"t know how to cook, why didn"t you tell me earlier? Do you want to show off in front of me? "
Xia Xinyan"s face turned hot. Alright, she had to admit that she wanted him to think highly of her.
"Who told you to say you must eat the food I make. I didn"t want to disappoint you." Xia Xinyan muttered to herself. She knew she was in the wrong, so she refused to admit it.
Ji Mu Cheng snuggled up to her shoulder in a
oyance, "Let"s go."
The two of them found a table in an old noodle shop nearby and sat down. When the hot noodles were served, there were still some delicious dishes. The two of them ate heartily, not caring about their image anymore.
After di
er, it was already ten o"clock. There were a few young girls who were whispering to each other with blush on their faces. They kept looking at Ji Mu Cheng from time to time.
It was obvious that in their lives, they had never met such a n.o.ble and handsome man, and their movements were filled with an enchanting aura.
Xia Xin noticed that although she didn"t think that her looks weren"t bad, she still didn"t have any light at Ji Mu City"s side. A few young men looked at her, but were all dissuaded by Ji Mu City"s hidden viciousness.
Xia Xin would probably never know how cold this man"s eyes would be when facing his invisible love rival.
After eating the noodles and walking out of the restaurant, the two of them looked at each other at the same time.
"It"s almost ten, let"s go home. I"m afraid my son has an objection." Ji Mucheng still wanted to be alone with her, but he resisted his impulse. After all, his son wasn"t someone he picked up, and as a father, he still had to place his son in a very important position.
"Yes." Xia Xinyan cared about her son too.
The two of them drove in the direction of their home.
In the villa, Xiao Budian was sitting on the sofa with a bag of snacks in his hands. An anime was playing on the huge TV in front of him. Xiao Budian was enjoying the show.
The butler uncle wanted to advise but he couldn"t. When would the Great young master and the Miss Xia return?
"My son should be asleep by now." Ji Mu Cheng muttered in a low voice.
"Probably." Xia Xin also thought the same way. Although it was a double day tomorrow and the little guy didn"t have to go to school, he had been very sensible since he was young and would go to bed on time.
The black car stopped at the entrance of the hall. The moment the two got out of the car, they heard the unique voice coming from inside. The two of them were startled and quickly entered the hall.
"Daddy, Mommy, you guys just came back. It"s so late." When the little guy saw the two adults return, his shoulders shrank and he immediately pouted as he complained.
Xia Xinyan looked at her son seriously, "I know it"s very late, why are you still watching TV?"
"I"m waiting for you?" The little guy had a good reason.
"You"re not allowed to look at it. Go upstairs and sleep." Xia Xinyan turned off the TV.
The little fellow drooped its head in boredom. "Mommy, can you let daddy sleep with us tonight?"
Ji Mu Cheng smirked, his son was quite capable.
"Why?" Xia Xinyan"s face turned hot, and her heart started to feel like it was about to break out of her chest.
"You already went on a date with your dad, why aren"t you two together yet?" The little guy was quite shrewd and had seen through all of this long ago.
Ji Mucheng walked over and carried his son up before gently asking, "Tomorrow, I"ll bring you back to your grandparents" house to play. Do you want to?"
"Really? Will Mommy go too? " The little fellow looked excited.
"Of course, your mother is going too." When the man said this, he looked towards Xia Xin Xin.
The burning light in the man"s eyes made Xia Xinyan tremble. She turned around and said to her son, "Yes, Mommy will also go."
The little guy gave Ji Mucheng a fierce kiss, "As long as father treats mother well, I will definitely treat you well."
Ji Mucheng was speechless. Did his son have to be so realistic?
Fortunately, his heart was beating fast for this woman. If he hadn"t fallen for her, wouldn"t it have been a sad story?
Xia Xinyan was moved. Her son was too warm, he knew how to protect her children. Should she give birth to a few more children?
Thinking of this matter, Xia Xinyan felt ashamed. Her relations.h.i.+p with Ji Mu City had just eased up a bit, yet she still wanted to go through with it.
Ji Mu Cheng could only rub his son"s head and a.s.sure him, "Don"t worry, father really likes your mother."
