When Li Jue fell in love with her, he definitely wouldn't be willing to give his heart to that woman.
Although that woman didn't appear from the beginning to the end, Jiujiu felt that it might be the woman who came up with the idea of cutting out someone else's heart and using it on herself.
If Li Jue wasn't willing to give his heart to her, that woman would naturally be anxious. In the face of survival, women were incomparably crazy.
Li Jue liked her, so he would naturally protect her. When the time came, it would really be a dog-eat-dog show. At the thought of Li Jue tearing up with that woman, Jiujiu couldn't help but smile gloatingly.
After all, making a man fall in love with her was her forte.
Jiujiu lay on the bed to rest for a while, then went downstairs to the kitchen.
The person cooking in the kitchen was the cook, Brother Wang, who Li Jue had brought over from the residence.
Brother Wang's cooking wasn't particularly good, but his soup was superb. That was why Li Jue had brought Brother Wang over to make soup for Cheng Xiaocao every day to nourish her body.
However, Jin Ye didn't like Cheng Xiaocao. The soup that Li Jue had instructed Brother Wang to make was all poured down the toilet by Jin Ye.
Brother Wang was naturally well aware of Jin Ye's actions. However, compared to Cheng Xiaocao, the orphan girl that Li Jue had brought over from outside, Brother Wang naturally preferred Jin Ye.
Most importantly, Jin Ye had pushed Jiujiu downstairs last night and angered Li Jue. Li Jue had sent someone to drag her out. Today, she didn't send any ingredients for Jiujiu's soup. For a moment, Brother Wang didn't know if Li Jue knew that he had pretended to be deaf and mute about Jin Ye pouring out Jiujiu's soup. At this moment, his heart was extremely uneasy.
When Jiujiu came in, Brother Wang was extremely guilty.
Jiujiu didn't have any impression of Brother Wang. She only whispered to Brother Wang that she wanted to use his kitchen to cook. Then, she quietly looked at Brother Wang and waited for his answer.
If it was before, Brother Wang would definitely kick Jiujiu out immediately. However, he was very guilty at the moment. Brother Wang instantly agreed to Jiujiu's suggestion and even took the initiative to help Jiujiu.
Although Brother Wang mainly stewed soup, he had a complete set of seasonings. After Jiujiu asked Brother Wang about Li Jue's preferences, she quickly made four dishes and a soup. Then, she asked Brother Wang to bring it to Li Jue. She sat in the kitchen and continued to take care of the corn pork rib soup that she had stewed in the pot.
The corn was just flown in by air. The grains were plump and golden, emitting a sweet fragrance. The ribs were the ribs and big bones of free-range pigs. As the bone marrow seeped out, the fragrance became stronger. Even Brother Wang, who was favored by Li Jue for stewing soup, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
It was because Jiujiu's corn pork rib soup was too fragrant.
Jiujiu's stewing steps were clearly the same as his. Even the spices and order were the same as his. However, Jiujiu's corn pork rib soup was much more fragrant than his.
Brother Wang couldn't stand the fragrance of Jiujiu's corn pork rib soup. He simply went to his room to make himself some food.
After Brother Wang left, Jiujiu took out the small pill that she asked Xiao Bai to make for her and added it to the corn pork rib soup.
The small pill was colorless and tasteless. It melted as soon as it entered the water. The moment the small pill disappeared, the fragrance of the pork rib soup was even stronger than before.
If the fragrance was only wafting from the kitchen just now, at this moment, the fragrance was wafting through the gap of the door directly to the second floor. Even Li Jue's study was filled with the fragrance of corn pork ribs.
Li Jue, who was eating the food served by the butler, paused when he smelled the fragrance. He turned to look at the butler and asked, "What did you cook today? It smells so good."
The butler sniffed with his nose.
The air was filled with the mellow fragrance of pork ribs and the sweet fragrance of corn. It was obvious. "It's corn pork rib soup."
"Corn pork rib soup?" Li Jue was stunned.
In the past, Brother Wang had also cooked corn pork rib soup, but it wasn't as fragrant as today.
Li Jue originally wanted the butler to get a bowl for him, but when he remembered that he had been in the study all afternoon, he simply got up and went to the kitchen to take a look himself.
When he opened the door, it wasn't Brother Wang who he had imagined. Instead, it was Jiujiu, who he thought was the least likely to be here.
Jiujiu's hair, which had always been loose, was tied up with a hair tie at the back of her head. Her fine bangs were tucked behind her ears. Her eyes were focused on stirring the bubbling pork rib soup in the pot.
As Jiujiu stirred, the fragrance of the pork rib soup became stronger and stronger. Even the butler couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Because of the butler's swallowing of saliva, Jiujiu subconsciously turned her head. When she saw Li Jue and the butler standing at the door, Jiujiu's cheeks, which had been flushed by the steam, became even redder. Jiujiu then shyly put down the spoon and wiped her small hands on her apron. She lowered her head and whispered, "Mr. Li, you're here."
"You're cooking?"
When he came in, there was only Jiujiu in the kitchen. It was obvious who made the pork rib soup.
Li Jue originally thought that today's lunch tasted better than usual. At first, he didn't think much of it. But now that he saw Jiujiu cooking the soup, he asked in surprise, "You made lunch today?"
Hearing Li Jue ask about lunch, Jiujiu's cheeks became even redder. Jiujiu lowered her head and whispered, "I've troubled Mr. Li for so long, and Mr. Li is still willing to help me find my brother. I have nothing to repay you with, so I want to do something for Mr. Li."
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she looked at Li Jue and the butler, who were standing at the kitchen door. She pursed her lips and asked nervously, "Is the food I cooked too bad?"
At this point, Jiujiu's eyes instantly turned red. Her big and bright eyes were filled with tears. She choked and said apologetically, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry. You're so good to me, but I can't even do such a small thing. You can scold me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiujiu's tears fell down her cheeks and wet her apron.
From Li Jue's point of view, Jiujiu's eyes were red, and her white teeth were biting her lips tightly, leaving a few obvious marks. She clearly looked pitiful, like a little kitten whose fur was wet from the rain, but she pretended to be strong and stubborn as if she was fine.
Originally, Li Jue thought that Jiujiu looked like the person he liked. But now, after Jiujiu acted like this, she didn't look like the person he liked at all.
Because the person he liked always had a high and mighty appearance, like a carefree little princess. Even he was incomparably humble in front of her.
Sometimes, showing weakness in front of a man was a thousand times better than pretending to be strong.
Because of Jiujiu's weakness, Li Jue's heart softened. You have to find the latest chapter by yourself to read a book? You're out, follow me on WeChat.
