Chapter 377: Chapter 378: Murong Fei is Embarrassed

”Fine, I’m the ungrateful one again....”

Upon hearing Murong Fei’s indirect criticism, Qin Tian was instantly speechless, ”It’s good I wasn’t called a pervert, or else my reputation as clean as Liu Xiahui’s would have been tarnished....”

”Hee hee....” at his words, Su Xuejiao burst into laughter, ”Brother Qin Tian, you are really funny.”

Murong Fei, however, gave Qin Tian a displeased look, and said, ”Liu Xiahui? Do you really think it’s fitting to praise yourself? I think you’re not Liu Xiahui, but likely to be lewd....”

In that moment, a banter began between Murong Fei and Qin Tian in the kitchen.

Standing at the kitchen entrance, Mom Lin had intended to come in, but seeing this scene, she simply stood at the door, her gaze fixated on Qin Tian, filled with curiosity.

Last time when Qin Tian was at the Murong Mansion celebrating Murong Bei’s birthday, Mom Lin had taken leave, so she hadn’t met Qin Tian.

Now seeing Qin Tian, especially witnessing the verbal spar between him and Murong Fei, with his words tinged with teasing Murong Fei, she was stunned.

The young mistress was usually dignified and serious, especially around men, hardly ever joking or mentioning vulgar jokes.

And yet here was Qin Tian, daring to verbally spar with the young mistress, and she appeared to be only pretending to be angry, in fact not really minding at all—it was unbelievable!

What exactly was Qin Tian’s relationship with the young mistress? Mom Lin watched the three of them in the kitchen, her mind incredibly curious.

”What are you spacing out for, go and serve the dishes in the dining hall! Don’t think about eating for free!”

Seeing Qin Tian chuckling, Murong Fei immediately placed the plate holding the twice-cooked pork directly into Qin Tian’s hands, transforming him into a plate-carrying lad in a flash.

”Hehe, today’s dishes all seem quite light, just to my tastes.”

After everyone had taken their seats at the table, Qin Tian, looking at the dishes laid out, swallowed his saliva.

Su Xuejiao and Mom Lin were both startled, their gazes simultaneously turning to Murong Fei as if they understood something.

Murong Fei, looking a bit guilty, quickly said, ”Hurry up and eat, what are you sitting there for.” Saying this, she was the first to start eating with her chopsticks.

”Hiss....”

”Uh....”

When Qin Tian and Su Xuejiao started eating, almost simultaneously, they made peculiar sounds.

At that moment, Murong Fei also picked up some shredded potatoes with her chopsticks and put them into her mouth.

”Hiss.... It’s a bit salty.”

After taking a bite, Murong Fei slightly furrowed her brows, glanced at Su Xuejiao and Qin Tian, and then, embarrassed, spat the shredded potatoes out of her mouth.

”Okay, it’s not just a bit salty, it’s very salty.”

Murong Fei’s fair cheeks blushed at this moment, her eyes lowered.

Embarrassing!

So embarrassing!

Murong Fei had always learned things quickly and was very confident.

She thought she had easily mastered cooking, but unexpectedly, this time she had over-salted the shredded potatoes.

Murong Fei had never felt this embarrassed, especially with the dining hall being incredibly quiet, making her feel her cheeks heat up even more.

”It might be because my hand trembled when I was adding the salt earlier.” Seeing that everyone was silent, Murong Fei awkwardly explained.

”Not only are the shredded potatoes salty, but the pork liver is also way too salty.”

Qin Tian chuckled as he looked at the blushing Murong Fei, remarking, ”You’re really stocking up on salt, huh? You use so much salt in everything, people might think your family sells it...”

”Why don’t you stop talking so much and cook a meal for me!”

Murong Fei immediately shot back at Qin Tian.

However, just to be sure, Murong Fei tasted each dish she had prepared. As soon as the food hit her mouth, she frowned. Except for the tomato and egg soup, which was edible, the rest were either too salty or too bland. Especially the homestyle fish which was tasteless and not spicy at all, a fishy stench made Murong Fei quickly put down her chopsticks.

The even more embarrassed Murong Fei felt the dining room go quiet. Looking up, she saw Qin Tian and Su Xuejiao both staring at her. She hastily smacked her lips, ”Only the soup is drinkable. For the rest, I think... we better order takeaway...”

Qin Tian rolled his eyes. A beautiful CEO learning to cook ends up having to order takeout—what a painful realization...

Just then, the maid stood up, smiling, ”Why don’t you all rest for a bit? I’ll cook a few dishes, it’ll take no more than half an hour.”

Qin Tian and Su Xuejiao nodded with a smile.

Murong Fei was stunned, her face the epitome of embarrassment.

With no other choice, since it was too late for takeout now, fortunately, they had a chef around. While the maid was busy in the kitchen, Qin Tian and the others chatted in the dining room as they waited.

”Xuejiao, didn’t you say you had some good news to tell me? What happened, I heard around Jiang Hu that you did well in your exams?” Qin Tian returned to the topic at hand.

”That’s right...” Su Xuejiao proudly said, ”Originally, my grandpa planned to send me abroad for studies, but I’ve recently had a change of heart and filled out my college applications, opting for a local school.”

”Oh? Which school did you apply to?”

”Beijing Film Academy, the acting department. I’m planning to study acting and become a celebrity.” Su Xuejiao confidently stated, ”With my looks and intelligence, it would be a shame not to become an actress...”

Both Qin Tian and Murong Fei were speechless.

Beijing Film Academy, that is the most famous performing arts school in Huaxia, having nurtured countless movie and television stars.

Qin Tian didn’t know why Su Xuejiao had changed her mind about applying to Beijing Film Academy, but when he heard that she had just attended its special entrance exam and was mostly assured of acceptance, he still congratulated her, ”Then I congratulate you. Beijing Film Academy is essentially a cradle for stars, Xuejiao, you’re not far from fulfilling your dream of becoming a celebrity.”

”Totally...” Su Xuejiao flashed Qin Tian an adorable smile, ”Qin Tian brother, if I become a celebrity, won’t you feel proud?”

”Uh...” Qin Tian was at a loss for words, what does that have to do with me?

”Yes, yes.” Although internally speechless, Qin Tian still nodded earnestly.

Soon the maid had whipped up three dishes and served them, proving once again why chefs are chefs as everyone enjoyed the meal. Seeing the difference between her cooking and the maid’s, Murong Fei was even more determined to learn to cook well and never embarrass herself in front of Qin Tian again—it was too mortifying!

”Qin Tian brother, could I ask you for a favor?”

After lunch, as Murong Fei went upstairs to deal with work-related matters, Su Xuejiao and Qin Tian sat on the living room couch. Su Xuejiao suddenly asked him in a mysterious tone.

Qin Tian glanced at Su Xuejiao, ”What is it, tell me, if I can help, I definitely will.”

Su Xuejiao’s face turned a little red, ”It’s just that tonight, we’re having a graduation party, and I...”

”Xuejiao, please don’t tell me you’re trying to get me to pretend to be your boyfriend and go with you to this party.”

Before Su Xuejiao could finish, the ever so astute Qin Tian nervously asked.
