The Cheat Emperor of the Culinary World

Fu Yu: [3+2=?]

Liu Yunong laughed when she saw it clearly.

This kid!

His survival instincts are quite strong!

The two sisters laughed together for a long time.

Looking at Liu Yuqing’s phone, Liu Yunong suddenly had a bright idea and casually sent Liu Yuqing back to her room, then turned to pick up her phone and sent an identical message to Li Linlin.

At this moment, Li Linlin was working overtime at the office. Seeing the message, he immediately perked up.

The Goddess: [Who will manage the money at home in the future?]

Without thinking, Li Linlin quickly replied: [You, it definitely has to be you!]

Not long after, another message came through.

The Goddess: [That’s not okay, whoever is better at math should manage the money. How about this, I’ll give you a math problem, and you must answer it in 3 seconds, okay?]

Li Linlin quickly focused: [Okay.]

The Goddess: [86759475+47478475=?]

Li Linlin was stunned, unable to calculate it in time. He quickly replied: [That’s too hard, I can’t solve it in 3 seconds.]

The Goddess: [Then give me one, test me.]

Li Linlin didn’t dare to mess around; though he wasn’t a top student back in school, his grades weren’t bad either.

Now that Liu Yunong suddenly proposed a math test, it couldn’t be too simple.

Li Linlin quickly sent a message:

[Reply in three seconds: 574836495+83774857585=?]

For some reason, as soon as the message sent, Li Linlin suddenly felt like the temperature around him dropped significantly, his spine was chilly, his scalp tingling, and even the air seemed to freeze!

They say people have quick wits and often can perform extraordinarily in emergencies.

Suddenly, Li Linlin’s face changed, and his years of dealing with numerous customers told him that maybe he shouldn’t take this too seriously!

So he hurriedly sent another message:

[Actually, you don’t really need to do the math, because even if you say 1+1 equals 3, I would think you’re right! In my heart, no matter what you do, it’s the best and the right thing!]

After waiting for a while and still not receiving a reply from Liu Yunong,

Li Linlin felt a sinking heart and urgently sent another message:

[Beauty is justice, and being pretty is truth!]

”Pfft!”

Liu Yunong couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

This silly guy!

He really doesn’t know how to talk!

Li Linlin waited awkwardly for a long time without getting a reply from Liu Yunong, becoming anxious.

Finally unable to hold back, he made a phone call.

Liu Yunong answered the call.

Li Linlin sheepishly asked, ”Yunong, what’s wrong? Was my answer not satisfactory to you?”

Liu Yunong snorted.

Li Linlin quickly said, ”Then how do you want me to say it? I’ll change it right now!”

After much coaxing, Li Linlin finally softened Liu Yunong’s tone.

Li Linlin couldn’t help but ask, ”Yunong, why did you suddenly ask me this question?”

Liu Yunong casually mentioned the chat between Fu Yu and Liu Yuqing.

Li Linlin was dumbfounded upon hearing this.

It turns out it was Fu Yu showing off his relationship, dragging him into it.

Li Linlin couldn’t help but inwardly complain.

This brat, can’t he just date properly? Always so glib, sweet-talking the girls!

Understanding the context of the situation, Li Linlin quickly defended himself.

”Our relationship is naturally formed, how can it be the same as theirs driven entirely by hormones?”

”All those sweet words are just to make young girls happy. At our age, saying these things wouldn’t fit! It’s too superficial.”

Liu Yunong’s smiling face suddenly disappeared, sneering: ”Oh! Li Linlin, do you think I’m getting old?”

”I never minded you being ugly, yet you mind me getting old!”

Liu Yunong angrily hung up the phone.

Li Linlin never expected that an inadvertent comment would anger Liu Yunong.

He hurriedly called to apologize.

When he called again, Liu Yunong decisively hung up.

To appease Liu Yunong, Li Linlin ended up sweating profusely in the cold weather.

Once he finally calmed her down, Li Linlin was relieved.

They chatted for a while longer before ending the call.

After freshening up in the evening, Liu Yunong sat in front of the mirror, carefully examining her face.

The fine lines at the corners of her eyes were indeed quite obvious; a slight smile would reveal them.

Liu Yunong sighed and couldn’t help but lament, ”I am indeed getting old. The wrinkles on my face are becoming more pronounced, sigh...”

At this time, Liu Yuqing came over holding a cup of warmed-up milk. Hearing Liu Yunong’s words, she quickly said, ”Nonsense! You’re just thirty, where are you old? If it weren’t for you always wearing formal clothes, people wouldn’t be able to tell who’s older when we stand together!”

Liu Yunong was amused, but inadvertently saw her reflection in the mirror, noticing that the fine lines around her eyes became even more pronounced when she smiled happily.

She pointed to the corner of her eye: ”See, isn’t this old? Look at these wrinkles!”

Seeing her sister looking a bit despondent, Liu Yuqing had a lightbulb moment, ”Sis! Those aren’t wrinkles, they’re laugh lines. Let me tell you, fine lines are nothing to be afraid of. You can go for cosmetic treatments, or even better, try medicinal diets. They’re safe and have no side effects, and they can nourish your body. It’s a win-win!”

These words reminded Liu Yunong of the medicinal dishes Fu Yu made.

Oh, right!

How could I forget about that!

Thinking back to when Liu Shaoxian explained the efficacy of medicinal dishes, he mentioned many recipes that have excellent effects on skin conditioning.

And Fu Yu’s culinary skills have been praised and recognized by Liu Shaoxian and Xiao Jiping.

If I could just have a medicinal meal prepared by Fu Yu...

Thinking of this, Liu Yunong felt her heart skip a beat!

Seeing her sister visibly cheer up, Liu Yuqing excitedly said, ”I happen to know someone in the cosmetic industry. Big sis, if you could just...”

Liu Yunong interrupted, ”No, I’m going for a medicinal meal!”

Liu Yuqing was momentarily stunned but quickly nodded, ”That’s fine too. Medicinal meals are good.”

Liu Yunong touched her face, her eyes full of longing.

If you asked a thousand women what one thing they would choose to have in this world, most would answer ”beauty.”

A woman’s pursuit of beauty is endless.

...

Liu Yuqing chatted with her sister for a while until her phone rang.

Fu Yu sent a message:

[What’s wrong? Why haven’t you replied?]

At that moment, Fu Yu couldn’t help but question himself.

Was there something wrong with my answer just now?

This trick was copied from a joke I saw online, and the comments were all positive!

Liu Yuqing suddenly remembered that she had been so caught up in her happiness that she forgot to reply to Fu Yu.

She quickly replied: [Your answer was perfect, I’m very pleased!]

Seeing her message, Fu Yu was relieved.

However, Liu Yuqing quickly sent another message:

[By the way, aren’t you close with Chef Zhao? Can you ask him if he knows any reliable medicinal food chefs?]

Fu Yu: [Why are you suddenly looking for a medicinal food chef?]

Liu Yuqing: [I just want to condition my body. I heard medicinal food can beautify and nourish, and it’s quite effective.]

Fu Yu: [I can make medicinal food! No need to look for someone else. If it’s about beauty and nourishment, I’ll design two courses for you to ensure you’re healthy and beautiful.]

Before Liu Yuqing could reply, Fu Yu immediately sent another message: [But let me tell you, you really don’t need it. You’re already so beautiful; at most, it’s just the cherry on top. Immediate results aren’t possible because your foundation is too good; even taking magical pills wouldn’t make much difference.]

This time, Liu Yuqing was truly delighted, and the flattery from Fu Yu made her heart bloom with happiness and joy.

Liu Yuqing: [You said it! You have to keep your word!]

Fu Yu: [Of course!]

Liu Yuqing didn’t know why, but seeing Fu Yu’s reply, she suddenly thought of a saying: when you’re being playful, he’s smiling.

The feeling of having someone pamper and take care of you is just so wonderful!
