Chapter 1678


    Levi was very determined in his stance to not let Monique cook, but that stance instantly


    disappeared once Monique was also firm in her position.


    Currently, Monique was studying the recipes while Levi was reluctantly washing the vegetables in


    the kitchen. While washing, he nagged, "Monique, if you don''t know how to cook, then just don''t.


    Let''s go out to eat or order takeaway to save trouble. Why do we have to torture ourselves like


    this?"


    "Because I want to!" Monique replied, then went back to bury herself in studying the recipes she


    held.


    She usually watched her mother and Vivian''s cooking, which looked simple enough. However, when


    it came to her to cook herself, it was even harder than going onto a battlefield for her.


    "Because you want to?" Just because she wanted to, then why did he have to suffer with her? Was


    it because he was her boyfriend?


    In the past, he worried about finding a girlfriend as unreasonable as Mia. He didn''t expect that


    Monique would be even more outrageous than Mia.


    Treating him roughly out of the blue, and even torturing him with a method like this... If this were to


    continue, he would copse sooner orter.


    Levi forcefully washed the vegetables in his hands as he imagined that the vegetables were


    Monique. If he was bullied by her in reality, then he would torture her to death in his imagination.


    "Levi, the sweet and sour pork ribs don''t look easy to make. Why don''t we try a simpler dish?"


    Monique, who was studying the recipe, suddenly said. Upon hearing this, Levi broke out in a cold


    sweat. "What kind of dish do you want to make? A full-on banquet?"


    She couldn''t even make a simple dish like sweet and sour pork, but she still wanted to make


    something else. When did Monique start to overestimate herself? Levi wondered.


    "I really want to try, but a whole banquet is too troublesome. I can''t even get ready with all the


    ingredients I want. Furthermore, I''m a novice, I don''t want to think about that first. Next time if


    there''s a chance, then I''ll consider," Monique answered indifferently.


    "Monique, you still acknowledge that you''re not capable?" He thought that she hadpletely


    forgotten howckluster she was in cooking.


    "Of course I do." Monique asked again, "Have you finished washing the vegetables?"


    "Yes." Every one of the vegetables were rinsed in water. As for whether it was clean or not, Levi had


    no idea.


    "Then, cut the potatoes into shreds," Monique ordered.


    "Cut the potatoes into shreds? Monique, are you crazy?" Levi had never washed the dishes since


    he was a child. At present, he had to cut the potatoes into shreds? He might as well cut himself with


    a knife.


    "If the potatoes aren''t in shreds, then how can I stir- fry them?" Monique''s tone was very matter-of-


    fact.


    "Monique, you''re the one who wants to cook, not me. Why am I doing all these difficult things?" Levi


    shouted discontentedly.


    Monique looked up from the recipes and looked at Levi. Seeing his flustered face, she knew that he


    really was angry. However, she had the magic cure. All she needed to do was to smile at him with a


    sweet smile and say, "Because you''re my boyfriend!"


    Sure enough, once Monique said that the look on Levi''s face perked up imperceptibly fast. She


    smiled again. "Levi, I know that you''re the best boyfriend in the world. If you help me, I''ll give you


    the Best Boyfriend Award next time."


    "I don''t care about the award." That was what he said, but he still took out the chopping board and


    the kitchen knife as he tried to cut the potatoes into shreds. "Monique, you''re a woman. You should


    teach me how to cut these potatoes."


    "Levi, how could such a simple thing trouble you?" To be honest, Monique did not know how to cut


    the potatoes into shreds either but she could not tell him honestly. It was better to goad him like this.


    Levi was an egoistic man. As long as he did something wholeheartedly, he could do it well.


    "I''m—" Forget it, Levi thought. He didn''t want to say that he did not know how to do it himself.


    Although in Monique''s eyes he was decidedly incapable of doing it, he still did not want to admit it


    out loud.


    Just as he was about to study how to cut potatoes into shreds, Monique suddenly moved closer to


    him. She clung to his arm and said, "I usually don''t think that you''re handsome but seeing you


    today, so focused on washing and cutting vegetables, you seem so cool." "When am I not


    handsome?" Levi was immune to suchpliments from other people. However, he was not


    immune to Monique at all. He worked even harder to cut the vegetables and couldn''t wait to show


    off all of his cooking potentials.


    "Of course, you''re the most handsome!" Monique pressed her face against his arm and rubbed


    against it. "Then you continue cutting the potatoes into shreds. I''ll continue to study how to make


    the sweet and sour pork ribs taste good."


    "Monique, when did you be so good at sweet-talking?" Monique had changed a lot, which did


    not escape Levi''s eyes. He didn''t say anything, not because he didn''t want to expose her, but


    because this gentle demeanor worked for every man.

    "I''ve always been like this." Of course, Monique had never realized this herself. It was her sister,


    Vivian, who taught her how.


    At first, she really hated this side of her, but after discovering that using this method to deal with


    Levi was more effective than using force, Monique had be addicted to using it.


    In Vivian''s words, men were born to conquer the world. They had excellent physical strength,


    intelligence, and many other aspects that were better than women. In many ways, women could not


    compare to men. Therefore, if women wanted to conquer men, they had to use special means.


    In the past, Monique felt that there was nothing that could not be solved by force. If she wanted to


    take control of Levi, then she had to train harder. Defeating him inpetitions would make him


    bow his head to her.


    However, ever since she listened carefully to Vivian''s words, she realized that the gentle demeanor


    was the most fatal weapon towards men.


    "Did Vivian give you weird ideas again?" There was not even a need to ask as Levi knew that


    Monique must have been convinced by Vivian to change. However, he still wanted Monique to tell


    him herself. He needed to know if it was Monique herself that wanted to treat him so gently, or if it


    was Vivian who had ordered her to do so.


    Although the end result was the same, there was a critical difference between them.


    Monique said, "Just tell me if you like it or not."


    "I''m asking you a question," Levi said.


    "You have to answer me first."


    "I like it, but-"


    Monique interrupted him. "As long as you like it, its fine. No buts''. Let me tell you, Vivian taught me


    all of this but it is also because you like it when I treat you like this, that I''ll treat you as so. I''m willing


    to be softer in front of you and I''m willing t? ''et V?? see mV gentler side."
