After ONS: Trapped by the Cunning Professor-Chapter 207 - 208: Grandma Arrives (5)

Three people sat at the dining table; the elderly lady hadn’t picked up her chopsticks, and neither had Lou Xi or Qin Mobai.

Actually, when the elderly lady looked at the presentation of Lou Xi’s cooking just now, her expression seemed to improve a little. However, coming here with the intention to find fault with Lou Xi, her face didn’t show much interest in the dishes.

"Let’s eat," the elderly lady was indeed hungry. Wasn’t she busy converting the study into her temporary bedroom all day long? She worked until now, and her stomach growled when she smelled the aroma of the food.

But she couldn’t show too much satisfaction with Lou Xi’s cooking, so she maintained her composure, waited a long time, and finally said that they could eat.

Lou Xi picked up her chopsticks first, placing shrimp into Qin Mobai’s bowl, "Young Master Qin, you need to eat more shrimp for protein. Also, remember to drink two bowls of soup later. You work such long hours and so hard; you need to take care of yourself."

Usually, when she ate with Qin Mobai, Lou Xi couldn’t help but serve him food and mutter some caring words.

And normally at such times, Qin Mobai would put even more food into her bowl.

Today was no different; Qin Mobai placed both shrimp and vegetables into Lou Xi’s bowl, balancing meat and greens.

The interaction between the two people nearly made the elderly lady opposite snort and glare.

You must understand that Qin Mobai had never eaten food served to him by others from childhood till now, wasn’t it because he found it dirty? Moreover, the food served might not suit his taste, so strictly speaking, no one had ever served him food.

But look at Qin Mobai now, not only eating the food Lou Xi served him but also serving food for Lou Xi!

This grandson of the elderly lady learned how to care for others!

But the person he cares for...

Lou Xi suddenly felt the atmosphere at the table was somewhat delicate, turned her head, and noticed the elderly lady staring resentfully at the dish in front of her.

She then remembered she hadn’t served the elderly lady any food when serving Qin Mobai, could it be that she’s upset?

Lou Xi quickly stretched her chopsticks to serve food to the elderly lady, placing it into her bone dish, "Grandmother, you should eat more shrimp too. I just peeled it myself; it’s much better than store-bought frozen shrimp."

The elderly lady looked at the dish before her, her feelings mixed.

Nowadays, you can’t expect young girls to cook; it’s hard enough for them just to go grocery shopping, let alone prepare shrimp!

Could Lou Xi have conquered Qin Mobai’s stomach with her culinary skills? And thus won his devotion?

But Qin Mobai isn’t such a superficial person!

The elderly lady was puzzled, picking up shrimp with her chopsticks and placing it into her mouth.

The shrimp was fresh and tender, accompanied by crisp pea flavoring; the taste was light. But people should eat lighter these days; it’s good for their health.

She had to admit, this young lady’s cooking skills are quite good!

But, the elderly lady couldn’t show it on her face; otherwise, moving in here and immediately being charmed by it, she’d be too ashamed to return and face the people back in Jiangdong.

Maintain composure, maintain composure.

Lou Xi, nervously holding her chopsticks, wasn’t sure how the elderly lady would rate her cooking skills. She thought if she could truly win the elderly lady over with her skills, it would save Qin Mobai from the awkward position in the middle.

"Grandmother, if you like it, have more," Qin Mobai said mildly, exposing the elderly lady’s pretense.

The elderly lady glanced sideways at Qin Mobai, blaming him for exposing her, "We should eat less in the evening, you too, Mo Bai."
