Chapter 427: Can Anyone Teach Mr. Smith How to Make Steamed Buns?


    After the man enters the kitchen, he opens the locker and is surprised to see that it is filled with all


    kinds of snacks.


    There are indeed snacks.


    But why would David buy them?


    Louis checks the date of production on the bag one by one and chooses some that look delicious for


    Lily.


    "When you are done eating, there are more in the locker, go get it yourself."


    "Thank you." Lily is really hungry and doesn''t stand on ceremony with him. She opens the potato chips


    and begins to eat. She also grabs the remote control from the coffee table, turns on the LCD TV and


    lies leisurely on the sofa.


    The ragdoll jumps onto the sofa and nestles near her feet, while the German shepherd dog lies on the


    carpet and wags its tail.


    Louis can''t help smiling when he sees this scene.


    Does this woman really take this ce as her home?


    Afraid that Lily will cry again if he says something improper, Louis tactfully sits down to deal with some


    business.


    After he finishes replying several e-mails, David, who went to buy steamed buns in the heavy rain,


    returns.


    Louis sees Davide in with a few bags. He stops working and helps him. "I told you to get some


    buns. What did you buy? How can there be so many bags?"


    "Mr. Smith, the store selling buns is closed. I can''t buy any." David says as he takes his shoes off.


    "Fortunately, the supermarket was open. I went to buy flour and tofu. I''ll make buns for you!"

    Louis'' eyes narrow. "You can?"


    "Yes, I can make buns with any stuffing. I''m sure that Ms. Lily will enjoy it!"


    "..."


    Seeing Louis standing there motionless, David says, "Mr. Smith, don''t stand in the way. It takes time to


    leaven the dough. After Ms. Lily eats the buns, I have to send her back. The rain is getting heavier and


    heavier. I don''t know when it will stop."


    "Then leave now." Louis snatches the bags from his hand. "You have to fly to Calgary tomorrow


    morning. Have a good rest after you get back."


    David is dumbfounded. "Then I shall be leaving? How will Ms. Lily go back?"


    "I''ll send her back."


    "No, no, Mr. Smith, let me do it. This is what I should do." David says as he walks into the house. "I also


    bought some pork. Does Ms. Lily like buns with meat stuffing? I''ll make her some."


    Louis still stands there with gloomy and spooky eyes. "David, if you find Calgary great, stay there for a


    few more months. Catherine can take your ce."


    The sinister voice frightens David and he finally realizes something wrong.


    David changes his shoes and opens the door.


    He disappears in less than three seconds.


    Lily also hears the noise and runs over to Louis. She asks eagerly, "Did you buy buns with tofu


    stuffing?"


    Seeing that there seems to be no buns in the bag in Louis’ hand, she is astounded.


    "Where are the buns?"


    Louis hesitates for a moment and says resignedly, "No, the store is closed."


    Lily feels aggrieved and tears flow down her cheeks as she says, "Why is the store closed?"


    Louis is speechless.


    Damn it, how can he know the reason?


    Lily can''t stop crying, "It''s fine to not buy me oranges, but you don''t buy me any buns either! How can a


    grown-up man like you bully a woman...?"


    "It''s not that I won''t buy you. The store is closed." Seeing that she is crying even more violently, Louis is


    at a loss. "Don''t cry, I''ll make some for you."


    Lily stops crying and nces at him. "Only tofu stuffing, salty and spicy, no sugar."


    Louis smiles and says, "Alright, got it."


    Only then does she reluctantly return to the living room and continues watching TV on the sofa.


    Louis goes into the kitchen and puts the bags on the table. He stares at them with an awkward


    expression.


    He is an expert in managingpanies and making money, but cooking is difficult for him, especially


    when ites to making steamed buns.


    He doesn''t even know where to start.


    He feels a headache when he thinks that Lily may cry non-stop if she can''t have any buns. He watches


    some the tutorials online, but each one is different, which makes his head ache even more.


    After thinking for a while, Louis puts on his Bluetooth headphones and contacts someone from Leigh''s


    clubhouse.


    After receiving the call, the receptionist goes to the kitchen in a hurry and shouts anxiously, "Mr. Smith


    called and asked if anyone can make buns. Hurry up, can anyone make buns?"


    At this time, there are few people in the kitchen. Only two assistants are there.


    After hearing this, an assistant is puzzled, "Mr. Smith wants to eat steamed buns? But our clubhouse


    never serves buns!"


    "Mr. Smith is asking how to make buns!" The receptionist rolls her eyes and looks around, "Isn''t the


    head chef good at all kinds of dishes? Where is he?"


    "He went to the bathroom."


    "Go to the bathroom and get him back. Mr. Smith is waiting!"


    The chef just washed his hands and left the bathroom when he was dragged to the kitchen before he


    can react.


    The receptionistes up and asks, "Chef, do you know how to make steamed buns?"


    "Yeah, but the ingredients are all put away." The chef thinks that some guests want buns, so he says,


    "And we have no flour left, so I can''t make it."


    "It''s fine. You just need to know how."


    The receptionist conveys the message to Louis. After the video chat is started, she hands the phone to


    the head chef. "Mr. Smith, this is our head chef. He can make buns. Ask him everything you want to


    know."


    When he sees the handsome man on the video, the chef is so nervous that he stutters, "Mr. ... Mr.


    Smith, you want to eat buns? What stuffing would you like? I''ll get someone to buy ingredients and


    make you some."


    Louis says resignedly, "It''s not me. I want to make buns with tofu stuffing and I have all ingredients.


    Just teach me how to make them."


    Louis hesitates after saying that, but the chef understands gets amused.


    He cooked for Lily just now and knows about their rtionship. He also knows that Lily is pregnant.


    Pregnant women will easily get hungry, and their moods are vtile.


    Ms. Lily must be in a mood and wants buns with tofu stuffing.


    The chef nods, "Okay. Mr. Smith, get some flour and yeast powder. I''ll teach you how to make doughs."


    "Alright."


    Afraid that the woman in the living room will know that he asks for help, Louis deliberately lowers his


    voice, puts his phone on the knife rack and follows the chef''s instructions step by step.


    When the doughs are ready and are put away to be leavened, the chef teaches him how to season the


    stuffing. "Ms. Lily has a good appetite recently. Mr. Smith, you can make the stuffing spicier."


    Louis pauses for a moment and agrees.


    The head chef looks at the video. Louis is busy for a long time, and his forehead is sweating. His hands


    are covered by flour, but he is patient. The chef can''t help but sigh with emotion, "Mr. Smith is so busy,


    but he also takes good care of Ms. Lily at the same time. It''s so rare to see a man like him!"


    "Ms. Lily must be very happy to eat the buns you made!"


    "By the way, Mr. Smith, there are some kinds of top-grade bird’s nest in the clubhouse. Take them


    home and stew them for Ms. Lily. I am sure that your child will have fair and tender skin!"


    Hearing the chef''s nagging, Louis smiles helplessly, but he does not feel irritated.


    Lily is a little bored from watching TV.


    Seeing that Louis is busy in the kitchen, she gets up from the sofa and walks towards him. She vaguely


    sees that the man is making bun wrappers with his hands covered by flour, and the disturbance in her


    heart disappears.
