School Beauty's Personal Martial Expert-Chapter 631: Missy Goes to the Kitchen 2

Ren Fanghua also took over and said, "Actually, it’s not Ling Ao’s fault this time, as I didn’t consult with him in a timely manner and took initiative on my own. As you know, all matters about Xue Jiu are arranged by the Old Master, and I’m not very clear on the specifics. Hence, I might not have considered everything concerning you, and I hope you won’t mind."

Seeing them proactively extending an olive branch, Leng Xuan naturally wouldn’t cling to the issue. He said with a smile, "Uncle Ling, rest assured, I’m not so petty. Since the matter has already passed, let’s not bring it up again. I will do my utmost to ensure Miss’s safety; you don’t need to worry."

"That’s right," Ling Ao said with a loud laugh, "Let’s not bring up the past anymore. This noon, we should have a good drink and take the chance to see how Xue Jiu and the others’ cooking skills measure up."

Soon, Li Mengjie brought out an array of fragrant and delicious dishes from the kitchen and called everyone to the table. Leng Xuan sat by the dining table and nodded to himself looking at these dishes. Judging solely by their appearance and aroma, the two beauties’ culinary skills were indeed commendable. It seemed he would soon be able to relinquish his role as the de facto chef.

Uncle Liu took out a bottle of expensive wine from the cabinet and poured a glass for everyone. Ling Ao raised his glass and clinked it with Leng Xuan, feeling sentimental, "I’ve been raising this daughter for so many years, and this is the first time I’m tasting her cooking. Leng Xuan, this is all thanks to your good fortune."

Leng Xuan immediately sensed the insinuation in those words; what does it mean to be thanks to my good fortune? You are her biological father after all, isn’t it just a matter of saying a word to eat her cooking? Why drag me into this? Hence, he hurriedly said, "Uncle Ling, I dare not take credit for this. Let’s all taste Miss’s culinary skills; I can hardly wait."

Seeing Leng Xuan shift the topic, Ling Ao simply chuckled and shook his head without continuing. He picked up some dishes from the table to taste, and then nodded, saying, "Not bad, it’s better than I expected."

Leng Xuan also commented, "It has the colors, aroma, and taste. Although there is still room for improvement, overall, it’s very good. Especially considering that Miss and the others have not been learning to cook for long, this level of skill definitely deserves full marks."

Just then, Li Mengjie and Ling Xuejiu came out of the kitchen. Hearing Leng Xuan’s praise, Li Mengjie immediately laughed and said, "How is it? We didn’t disappoint you, did we? Actually, most of the dishes were mainly cooked by Xue Jiu; I was just helping out by the side, lending a small hand."

Ling Xuejiu said modestly, "Without you, I wouldn’t have been able to make so many things."

"Alright," Ling Ao laughed, "Both of you played a significant role. Come, let’s eat. It’s not often we gather like this, so no one should be shy."

After finishing the meal in high spirits, Ling Ao and Ren Fanghua got up to leave as they were both busy people with many things to handle. They wouldn’t have rushed over in such a hurry if it weren’t for Leng Xuan’s matter. Uncle Liu was driving, so the three of them left together. As they were leaving, Ling Ao called Leng Xuan over and handed him a card, saying, "There’s one million cash in here. You’ve just been discharged from the hospital, so buy some nutritious items, and you can also get some things for yourself. If it’s not enough, let me know."

Leng Xuan knew this was Ling Ao’s way of making amends. Although he didn’t want to accept it, Ling Ao would definitely feel somewhat guilty if he didn’t. So, he took the card and nodded, "Uncle Ling, thank you very much. Honestly, you didn’t need to go to such lengths."
