Chapter 20 Be Careful of His Showing Off _1

"I know, don't worry!" Ye Fan said.

Looking at the vegetables in the kitchen, Ye Fan already had a plan in mind. He had the skills of a junior master chef; how could these little dishes pose a problem for him?

That was definitely impossible!

Ye Fan started by getting the rice cooking, then moved on to wash the vegetables and cut the meat. He planned to make boiled fish slices, braised pork ribs, pork trotter soup with Chinese yam and corn, spicy pickled cabbage, stir-fried pork strips with green peppers, and also to stew a pigeon soup. These would be enough!

Of course, the pigeon soup was specially made for Bai Susu. The others would share the rest of the dishes. These were all homestyle dishes, but the preparation methods were unique, and naturally, with different techniques, the outcomes would be distinct.

Ye Fan immediately got busy.

Meanwhile, Mother Ye, witnessing her son moving so effortlessly, left the kitchen.

She joined Xiao Mei to help look after Susu's baby.

"Is this nightgown new?" Mother Ye said, seeing the nightgown in front of Bai Susu.

The color and the feel of it were lovely.

It must be made of silk.

"Yes," Bai Susu replied absently, nodding at Mother Ye.

It was a gift from Ye Fan, and indeed, she really liked the nightgown.

"Not bad, not bad. Ye Fan knows how to pamper his wife now. He's showing some progress," Mother Ye nodded.

That rascal was doing fine.

He had learned how to win a girl's heart. He was truly her treasured son.

Look, Bai Susu seems to really like it.

"Then I'll wash it for you later. Once it's aired out, you can wear it," Mother Ye said.

Newly bought clothes should always be washed first.

After all, no one knows if they've gathered dust or something else.

Moreover, Bai Susu was currently in confinement, and her health was delicate, so it was natural to pay extra attention.

"Thank you, Auntie," Bai Susu said sweetly.

After all, she was currently unable to handle cold water and could only rely on Mother Ye, Auntie Mei, and Ye Fan to take care of her.

"Silly girl, I've told you, there's no need to be so formal with your Auntie Ye. Sooner or later, we're all family," Mother Ye said, patting Bai Susu's hand, her eyes filled with fondness.

She really liked this daughter-in-law a lot.

So, she also wanted to help her rascal son a bit.

Xiao Mei, who was nearby, knew which questions she should and shouldn't ask. She didn't pry into anything unnecessary.

After all, the family paid her a good salary, so she just needed to do her job well.

Other matters didn't concern her, nor were they for her to know.

"Sister Ye, I'll go wash them. You stay with Miss Bai. Miss Bai, if you have any other dirty clothes, I can wash them together," Xiao Mei said, looking at Bai Susu.

"There are some, in that wardrobe, two sets of clothes. Thank you, Auntie Mei," Bai Susu replied.

No matter what, Auntie Mei was employed and paid to care for her, while Mother Ye was there out of her own desire to help, so naturally, Bai Susu felt inclined to be more polite with Auntie Ye.

"It's alright; this is what I'm here to do." Saying this, Auntie Mei found the clothes and went to wash them. There was an automatic washing machine, but certain clothes needed to be washed separately, some even by hand.

"You poor child, you're having a hard time," Mother Ye said, her heart aching for Bai Susu.

This girl was really quite naive.

Ah, but of course, she was also very determined.

"Auntie, it's really nothing. Now, as long as everyone is fine, that's all that matters," Bai Susu answered with a smile.

Yes, it wasn't easy getting to this point.

It wasn't easy for anyone.

"Mmm, eat more tonight. Ye Fan has made you some delicious food. That boy has really changed a lot. When he was at home, he never cooked; I don't even know if it will be edible," Mother Ye said, with a touch of doubt.

"I haven't seen him study cooking, so how come he knows how? Could it be that after becoming a father he's different, or did the kid learn secretly without telling me?"

"Auntie, don't worry, Ye Fan is quite reliable. He wouldn't do something he's not sure of. Maybe, his cooking is really delicious." Bai Susu glanced at the kitchen before speaking again.

That guy, whatever he does, he always looks so confident.

It really is reassuring, very comforting.

"You, always praising him, be careful or he'll get cocky," Mother Ye said with a smile.

Yeah yeah, it seems Bai Susu has quite a good impression of Ye Fan.

Looks like there's hope for him to become official.

The kid does have some skills.

"Auntie Ye, actually between Ye Fan and me…"

"It's fine, I know all about it, no need to say more. Whatever you two are dealing with, handle it yourselves. But as far as I'm concerned, you are my daughter-in-law, my half daughter," Mother Ye immediately interrupted Bai Susu.

She knew what Bai Susu was about to say.

She's not so old-fashioned, after all.

What kind of society is this now? It's the 21st century, not their time anymore.

She, of course, understands that.

Her son would have to endure many hardships to win a beauty like that.

But what of it? Bai Susu is worth it!

Similarly, she believes in her son.

Her son is not lacking!

......

Before long, they all smelled a fragrance, the aroma of delicious food.

The fragrance, quite nice indeed.

Just don't know yet what the taste will be like?

"Mom, Susu, and Aunt Mei, it's time to eat!" Ye Fan said with a smile as he entered Bai Susu's bedroom.

Yes, today he was officially showing off his skills for the first time.

He too felt a little excited, wondering if they would like his cooking.

No worries; if it wasn't delicious, he could still work on it and improve.

Besides, this was a beginner-level master chef skill rewarded by the System, so Ye Fan still felt somewhat confident.

Mainly, the food even looked appetizing to him.

"Here we come, here we come, you rascal. Let's see how good your cooking is. If it's not tasty, you'll eat it all by yourself," Mother Ye said with a laugh.

"You should taste it first," Ye Fan said as he placed the dishes on the table.

"Susu, do you want to come out to eat, or should I bring some of each dish to your room?" Ye Fan asked.

Mainly because he was also caring for someone in her confinement, he wasn't familiar with all these details.

"You silly boy, eating in the bedroom is better to avoid catching a chill," Mother Ye said to her son with a look of disapproval.

"Auntie Ye, I'd like to eat with everyone. Ye Fan, close all the windows, I'll come out to eat," Bai Susu said.

Eating alone in the room really ruins one's appetite.

It's more enjoyable to eat together with everyone.

As long as the windows are closed to keep out the draft, it should be fine.

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan immediately closed the windows in the living room, and even shut every room's door so no drafts could come in, then returned to the bedroom.

"Susu, you really are a clever little thing!"
