Chapter 712


    "Let me try to make some dishes. By the way, do you have rabbit?"


    Butler Chen quickly said, "Yes, how should we prepare it? Tell me, I''ll handle it."


    He took out an entire rabbit from the fridge and ced it in front of Shi Jin.


    "I''ll handle it myself," Shi Jin said. Seeing that he was still not leaving, she knew that he did not dare


    to leave, afraid that she would blow up the kitchen.


    Shi Jin recalled his experiences over the years. She had never done anything to blow up the


    kitchen, right?


    Forget it. She first applied seasoning to the rabbit meat and did all kinds of processing ording to


    the master.


    However, she used an open fire when she was on set. It was not easy to start a fire at home. Good


    thing there was also an oven. It was not difficult.


    After dealing with the rabbit, Shi Jin went to prepare other dishes.


    When Butler Chen saw that she was quite skilled, he was looking forward to it.


    Imperial City.


    Just after six o''clock, the street lights lit up.


    On the way, in Fu Xiuyuan''s car, Cao Jingxi''s usually mischievous eyes only had a hint of ttery.


    "1 came all the way here, and you really didn''t say a word to me?" Cao Jingxi couldn''t stand the


    silence and muttered into Fu Xiuyuan''s ear.


    Fu Xiuyuan was looking down at the trending searches on Weibo. When he saw Shi Jin''s status, his


    brows rxed a little.


    "What happenedst time was indeed my fault. How do you want to punish me?"


    Fu Xiuyuan looked at him and gave him an expression that said, "You don''t deserve my


    punishment."


    Cao Jingxi sighed. "Alright, then I''ll take my time to atone for my sins."


    The car arrived at the Orchid Pavilion. Fu Xiuyuan got out of the car and Cao Jingxi followed,


    unwilling to give up.


    A strange fragrance assaulted his nose. Cao Jingxi couldn''t help but sigh softly. "What kind of flower


    is this? Why is it so fragrant? No, it doesn''t seem to be a kind, nor is it a strong fragrance. It''s light


    and elegant, faintly discernible, silently refreshing, and difficult to ignore. Fu Xiuyuan, when did you


    learn to raise flowers?"


    Fu Xiuyuan rolled his eyes at him and continued inside.


    "Oh, it''s raised by Shi Jin, right?" Cao Jingxi came back to his senses. That little witch had quite the


    taste. Even the flowers she raised were extraordinary.


    They walked into the hall and Butler Chen hurried up to them.


    "Where''s Shi Jin?" Fu Xiuyuan asked.


    "Young Madam is busy in the kitchen. She said that she wanted to cook for you personally," Butler


    Chen said with a smile. From Shi Jin''s technique just now, her cooking skills were not bad, so he left


    the kitchen boldly.


    Cao Jingxi was surprised. "She can cook?"


    Seeing Fu Xiuyuan''s gaze, he waved his hand and said, "I don''t mean that she doesn''t know how to


    cook, but that she''s willing to cook for you?"


    "Young Master Cao, I''m afraid you have some misunderstanding about Master Fu and Young


    Madam''s rtionship, right?" Butler Chen asked, "Young Madam has done many things for Master


    Fu. One or two things like this don''t matter."


    "Yes, yes, yes, I know." Cao Jingxi came here to seek peace, not to provoke Fu Xiuyuan.


    He would always remember that Shi Jin had saved hundreds of people during thest summit.


    However, Fu Xiuyuan had previously insisted that he not disturb Shi Jin, so he could only forget


    about it.


    However, this time, he hade to the capital to do something. His old man had urged him on the


    phone at least 80 times. He told him to thank Shi Jin in person, so he could only be shameless and


    came over again.


    Fu Xiuyuan looked at the kitchen with a gentle gaze. His usually cold eyes turned into spring water,


    and even his sharp jaw seemed to have softened.


    He started toward the kitchen.


    Cao Jingxi also followed curiously.


    On the way to the kitchen, Fu Xiuyuan suddenly smelled something strange. He frowned and


    quickened his pace.


    As they reached the kitchen door, the strange smell became more pronounced, and the smell of


    smoke became stronger.


    He immediately pushed open the door, and the pungent smell of smoke assaulted him.


    Cao Jingxi covered his mouth and nose and coughed violently.


    Without thinking, Fu Xiuyuan rushed inside.


    Shi Jin stood in front of him with a spat in her hand. The tip of her nose was had a smudge of


    ck and she was looking at him strangely. "1 clearly followed the recipe... but all the dishes are


    burnt."


    Fu Xiuyuan reached out with his well-defined fingers and wiped away the ck stain on the tip of


    her nose.


    Seeing that she was okay, heughed and said, "Why did they let you cook?"


    "It has nothing to do with Butler Chen. I came by myself.


    I learned to cook at the set today. I wanted toe back and try it myself..."


    She turned back to the oven and took out the charred rabbit. She looked helpless.


    "When it was half-baked, it was so fragrant that even Butler Chen thought it was fragrant... but for


    some reason, it was burnt."


    Shi Jin had always been a fast learner. She didn''t even mess up when she was roasting the rabbit


    on set today. So she hadn''t expected to mess up at home.


    She looked at the food in her hand, speechless.


    Fu Xiuyuan nced at the mess in the kitchen. "It''s fine.


    Take it all out."


    In the dining room.


    The table was filled with dishes, all Shi Jin''s handiwork tonight.


    The original ingredients that were in the dishes couldn''t quite be made out.


    Some of the dishes were almost finished by the chef, but after she took over, it became a little


    tragic.


    Fu Xiuyuan picked up his chopsticks, picked them into his mouth, and chewed slowly. "It''s good."


    Sitting opposite him, Cao Jingxi''s jaw almost dropped.


    This... was this what Fu Xiuyuan ate at home every day?


    "Aren''t you going to eat?" Fu Xiuyuan asked.


    Cao Jingxi swallowed his saliva. Since he hade to Orchid Pavilion, he naturally had to follow


    the host''s wishes.


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    He had no choice, but to pick up the food and put it in his mouth.


    Shi Jin looked at him. "How does it taste?"


    "Y-Yummy." Cao Jingxi squeezed out a smile.


    Shi Jin originally thought that she had messed up badly. Unexpectedly, it seemed to be fine?


    Fu Xiuyuan said to Cao Jingxi, "Since it''s delicious, we''ll eat all of it."


    Cao Jingxi''s pupils dted."...!!!"


    No way, Big Brother, you''re ying such a big game?!


    Butler Chen stood at the side with his head lowered, d that he never ate at the same table as Fu


    Xiuyuan.


    Shi Jin did not eat much that night. After taking a few bites, she felt that it was indeed not bad.


    She sat with her ss of water and drank.


    Cao Jingxi nced at the expressionless Fu Xiuyuan and forced himself to finish all the dishes on


    the table.


    After dinner, Fu Xiuyuan didn''t keep him any longer and said indifferently—


    "Come back another time."


    Cao Jingxi felt that he probably wouldn''te again.


    After he left, Shi Jin asked, "Was Young Master Cao here for something?"


    "Nothing much. His father insisted hee over to apologize and thank you."


    "Still thinking about thest summit? He had nothing to do with what I did. I don''t need their family to


    thank me or apologize."


    "My thoughts exactly."


    Shi Jin smiled. "But it''s fine if hees as a guest. But... are the dishes tonight really not bad?"
