At the same time, Li Feng was also good at reading the situation. Perhaps she could tell that Ji Yao had lost her power, so she was now trying to please her respectfully instead of acting arrogantly like in her previous life.
Since there was such a chance to take revenge, Gu Xiao did not stand on ceremony. In just a short while, she had already recited the names of more than 30 dishes.
Gu Xiao spoke extremely quickly, and Li Feng’s brain could not remember it at all. She was a hot-tempered person to begin with, but she remembered that CEO Ji had asked her to treat Gu Xiao well before he left, so she could only suppress her emotions and say gently, “Miss Gu Xiao, please say it again. I’m old and my brain can’t keep up, so I want to use a piece of paper to take notes.” In any case, Gu Xiao’s goal was not to make Li Feng fail to remember it. Hence, she nodded, indicating that it was fine. Then, she repeated herself. After confirming that she had memorized everything, she said, “I heard that you’re the best chef in the Ji family?”
When Li Feng heard Gu Xiao mention this, she immediately perked up and said proudly, “Of course. If I say I’m second best, no one will dare to say they’re the best!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing that Li Feng had taken the bait, the smile on Gu Xiao’s face became much more genuine. Then, her red lips parted slightly as she said the words that made Li Feng fall to rock bottom. “In that case, you have to personally make these dishes that I want to eat.”
Li Feng was dumbfounded. She repeated in disbelief, “I have to cook all of them?”
“Yes!” Gu Xiao affirmed and lay on the sofa in the living room.
This place was facing the kitchen, so she could clearly see what was going on inside. It was precisely because of this that Li Feng’s original plan to secretly find help could only fail.
Li Feng also realized this and took a deep breath, but she really couldn’t hold it in anymore. She asked, “Miss Gu Xiao, why are you tormenting me like this? When did I offend you?”
Gu Xiao gave an affirmative answer in her heart, but on the surface, she pretended to be especially surprised. She looked at Li Feng in disbelief and asked, “Why do you think I’m torturing you? It is just that since I’ve been kidnapped, I’ve only seen these dishes on television since I was young and hoped to taste them one day. Now that I’m finally home and have the chance to eat these food, and it’s cooked by the person who cooks the best, I’m looking forward to it now…”
When Li Feng heard Gu Xiao’s words, she also had doubts in her heart. Could it be that she had really misunderstood her?
At this moment, a cold voice sounded.
Ji Chen said, “Do as Gu Xiao says.”
Li Feng: “Yes, Young Master.”
After Li Feng responded, she quickly entered the kitchen.
When Gu Xiao heard this familiar voice, her expression stiffened. A few seconds later, she turned around.
The man was wearing a black suit. His facial features were as perfect as a sculpture. He was extremely exquisite and had a natural elegance and nobility. Upon closer inspection, his facial features were somewhat similar to Gu Xiao’s. He was Gu Xiao’s biological brother, Ji Chen.
In her previous life, almost everyone wanted to step on her when they saw her. However, Ji Chen only treated her coldly. He did not say much and would not do anything. This was already enough to make Gu Xiao feel a little warm.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLi Feng cooked for a few hours, and that was how long Gu Xiao and Ji Chen sat on the sofa. They did their own things and did not disturb each other.
When it was time to eat, Gu Xiao looked at the time and asked perfunctorily, “Aren’t you going to let Ji Yao come down for dinner?”
When Gu Xiao asked, she even glanced calmly at Li Feng.
Li Feng had just been cooking for a few hours and had yet to catch her breath when she heard Gu Xiao’s words. She even met her gaze when she told her to call Ji Yao and was especially dissatisfied. However, she did not dare to say anything and could only agree. “Yes.”
Li Feng was upstairs for a while before coming back down very quickly. She walked into the kitchen and took out a bowl as if she was filling it with rice and dishes.
When Gu Xiao saw this, she raised her eyebrow. She had an answer in her heart, but she still asked, “What are you doing?”
Li Feng said, “Miss Ji Yao said that she doesn’t want to come down and eat. She asked me to bring it up for her.”
As soon as Li Feng finished speaking, Ji Chen placed the bowl in his hand on the table and said coldly, “Nonsense. You’re not allowed to serve it to her. Since she is not coming down to eat, she’s not hungry. There’s no need to serve it to her..”
