Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 180: Chapter 179 Warmth

”Honey, can you cook? Today’s not April Fool’s Day; you must be joking, right?”

Disbelief shone in Rose’s almond-shaped eyes; she truly could not believe that Lu Tianxing knew how to cook.

”So you really don’t trust your husband?”

Lu Tianxing rolled his eyes and boasted proudly, ”There’s a saying that goes, ’To conquer a beauty, you must first conquer her stomach.’ In this day and age, without any decent skills, how could I pursue a beautiful woman like you? For this very goal, I specifically learned from someone for three months. I won’t claim to be an expert, but whipping up a few simple home-cooked dishes is a piece of cake for me.”

”You learned for three months?”

Rose was speechless. Normally, when people learn cooking, it takes them several years, but here he was showing off about three months of learning. After three months, one would be doing well just to handle and chop the vegetables properly.

”Why do you underestimate your husband’s skills? Today I’ll show you what a genius I am.”

Lu Tianxing, clearly annoyed by Rose’s skepticism, pinched her pert behind firmly as if to reproach her for doubting him.

”Really? Since you’re so confident, husband, I’m looking forward to your performance. I have a kitchen here; why don’t you show me how it’s done?”

Rose gave Lu Tianxing a look and gently pressed a button on the bedside table.

”Click!”

A slight sound came from one wall, and the whole wall suddenly split apart to reveal a small kitchen sectioned off by a glass door. Although the kitchen wasn’t very big, it was fully equipped with all kinds of cookware and spices, truly a complete family kitchen.

Lu Tianxing watched this scene, dumbfounded: ”Rose, when did you set up a kitchen in your room? I had no idea.”

Rose glanced at Lu Tianxing with a touch of resentment and said irritably, ”All you do when you come here is misbehave; you never care about anything else. This kitchen has been here for a long time. When I’m not at home, I usually stay at Zero Point Bar, and sometimes I let Wu Yan cook something for me. Of course, I needed to have a kitchen.”

Hearing Rose’s reproachful words, Lu Tianxing felt embarrassed. It seemed Rose was right; he always hurried in and out, never noticing anything else, but how could he let Rose know that.

Lu Tianxing chuckled awkwardly, ”What do you mean I don’t care about anything else? In my eyes, there is only you, a blooming flower; naturally, I have no interest in anything else. For me, you’re the most beautiful. To pay attention to anything else when I see you would be disrespectful.”

”Giggle!”

At Lu Tianxing’s words, Rose instantly broke into giggles, seemingly pleased with his response. She lazily rolled over, exuding an incomparable charm: ”So, my husband, are you about to show off your genius cooking skills now?”

”I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. However, afterward, will we unlock another position?”

Lu Tianxing smirked lecherously, his eyes glancing over Rose’s voluptuous Holy Maiden Peak, his implication clear.

”Whether or not we unlock another position depends on whether you can present something satisfactory to me.”

Rose smiled seductively, licked her lips enticingly, and threw a coquettish wink at Lu Tianxing, her provocative tongue full of infinite temptation.

Lu Tianxing’s heart thudded wildly, the flames that had just died down were threatening to set ablaze once more, and he thought to himself that this enchantress was clearly born to bewitch men. Luckily, this enchantress would belong only to him for the rest of her life.

As the Buddha says, ”If I don’t go to Hell, who will?” I’m doing this for all my brothers out there, sacrificing myself to feed the tiger.

”I will make sure you’re extremely satisfied.”

A confident smile appeared on Lu Tianxing’s face as he pushed open the glass door and walked straight into the kitchen.

Surveying his surroundings, Lu Tianxing noticed that although the kitchen was small, it was kept very clean. In the corner, the fridge was stocked with plenty of fresh vegetables, and meats like beef and pork, all looking very fresh, evidently just bought that morning.

”To maintain a supply of fresh vegetables daily without living here often—this tycoon’s life is way too luxurious.”

With a sigh, Lu Tianxing selected two potatoes and a few tomatoes, intending to make a dish of stir-fried shredded potatoes with vinegar and a tomato and egg soup. He also took out some beef, planning to make a dish of boiled beef slices. These were all homely dishes that didn’t require much skill, but only the most successful chefs can make these simple dishes truly delicious.

Rose, waiting outside, was full of smiles, eager to see how Lu Tianxing would embarrass himself. However, when Lu Tianxing’s fingers began to move, her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief, revealing a look of astonishment.

She saw the incredibly sharp knife in Lu Tianxing’s hands come to life as if it had a life of its own, turning into a dazzling display of knife skills as he peeled the potatoes rapidly. The potatoes then transformed into slender shreds at a speed visible to the naked eye, clear and uniform in length and size as if meticulously calculated by a computer.

Rose covered her mouth, watching the scene in disbelief. To her, someone like Lu Tianxing should never have stepped foot in a kitchen, but she hadn’t expected his knife skills to be so good. Such skills clearly couldn’t be developed overnight.

After all, ancient martial artists and chefs are completely different concepts. In ancient times, there might have been stories of chefs who were also martial arts masters, but in modern times, ancient martial artists are incredibly rare. Once someone becomes an ancient martial artist, countless people would court them, the stronger their skills, the higher their status; who would then bother to study anything else?

”Could it really be possible to develop such good cooking skills in three months? Can there truly be geniuses in this world?”

For the first time, Rose began to doubt her life.

”How about that, Rose darling, are you stunned by your husband’s cool knife skills?” Lu Tianxing turned back, boasting with pride.

”That’s barely passable! Good knife skills don’t mean good cooking. Who knows if what you make is any good? Talk is cheap without the skills to back it up.”

Rose scoffed, pretending to be unimpressed.

Lu Tianxing laughed and continued to busy himself in the kitchen, the clanging sounds filling the air with rhythm, pleasing to the ear as if it were music.

Rose rested her chin in her hands, watching Lu Tianxing bustling about in the kitchen, her eyes filled with an indissoluble affection. She found herself becoming more and more inseparable from this man before her, as a profound sense of warmth spread through her heart.

Twenty minutes later, the fragrant aroma of three homely dishes—meat, vegetable, and soup—steaming hot, was carried out of the kitchen by Lu Tianxing. The rich scent spread throughout the room, making one’s mouth water uncontrollably.

”Rose darling, it’s time to eat.”

Lu Tianxing called out to Rose, and then, as if his gaze were glued, he watched, unblinking, as Rose slowly approached, his breathing becoming involuntarily rapid.
