My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection

Chapter 310 - 287: Gathering_3

She didn’t actually expect the four of them to help her cook anything; they could only help wash and cut the vegetables or something like that. Dıscover more novels at novel·fiɾe·netThe kitchen was quite spacious, but it quickly became crowded with the four of them and a lot of ingredients. When Cen Jin turned around holding freshly washed onions and carrots, she almost bumped into Yun Xi, who was carrying a plate of shrimp. Fortunately, she stopped in time, otherwise the shrimp would have been wasted.

Once the four of them finished the tasks Ye Lingran assigned, they voluntarily left the kitchen, leaving the large stage to Ye Lingran.

The four of them sat on the couch in the living room, exchanging glances. Suddenly, Lu Shishu asked, "Hey, Cen Jin, why didn’t Jiang Baizhou come? I thought he’d be with you today!"

"Exactly! Today is Shi Shu’s birthday, as an old classmate, shouldn’t he come to the party? That’s not very nice!" Yu Feici chimed in sternly condemning Jiang Baizhou’s behavior, as she grabbed some sunflower seeds from the table and continued munching.

"He had a lunch appointment and couldn’t make it, but he’ll be here tonight," Cen Jin explained with a smile.

Just past noon, Cen Jin and the others sitting in the living room could smell the aroma coming from the kitchen. Yun Xi couldn’t resist anymore and went to check it out. Seeing the six dishes on the table, she sneakily grabbed a piece to taste, and her eyes lit up instantly. She looked at Ye Lingran, who was still busy in the kitchen, and said, "Wow, Ling Ran, it’s delicious! What else are you making?"

"The last two dishes, I’m searing steaks and making a fruit salad. Shi Shu doesn’t eat seafood but only eats vegetables and beef, right?"

"Oh, she can’t eat seafood and other meats?" Yun Xi was taken aback, completely unaware.

"I’m not too sure either; I heard it from Cen Jin. Whenever we ate with her before, she only had veggies and beef, never other meats or seafood."

"I didn’t know, and I brought so much seafood today."

"It’s okay! There are other dishes too, right?" Ye Lingran smiled, "It’s almost ready, call them over to serve the dishes and set the table!"

"OK."

After everyone brought all the dishes to the dining table and sat down, Lu Shishu happily raised a wine glass, "First, thank you all for coming to celebrate my birthday today, especially Yun Xi, you brought so much stuff; I’m a bit embarrassed."

"Don’t say that, if Ling Ran hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have known you don’t eat seafood; I brought two big boxes of it," Yun Xi quickly waved her hands, feeling even more embarrassed when Lu Shishu said that.

"No worries, there are other dishes too!" Lu Shishu smiled and looked at Ye Lingran, "And then, thank you to Ling Ran, our lovely chef. Without you, we wouldn’t know what to do with all these ingredients. You’ve worked hard, it’s my birthday, yet you ended up cooking, really sorry."

"It’s alright, you’re too polite. Cooking is just a hobby of mine, and I’m happy that you all enjoy it."

"In any case, let’s make a toast, wishing Ling Ran a happy birthday and thanking her for her culinary skills, cheers to Ling Ran!" Yu Feici watched them politely exchanging compliments and summed it up concisely, raising a toast.

With Yun Xi and Yu Feici, two lively women present, the meal couldn’t help but be lively. The two of them started playing a finger-guessing game out of nowhere, with the loser drinking. Eventually, Yun Xi and Yu Feici pulled Lu Shishu, the drinker, into the game; meanwhile, Ye Lingran and Cen Jin, who weren’t good with alcohol, could only watch. The originally quiet house became lively and warm.

The meal went on energetically until two o’clock when they finally stopped. Yu Feici, Yun Xi, and Cen Jin took the initiative to handle the dishwashing, while Lu Shishu cleaned the table. Ye Lingran didn’t have a chance to help at all. She wanted to assist but was pushed out of the kitchen by Yun Xi and the others, saying how could their head chef do such chores! Ye Lingran could only smile wryly. Once the kitchen was tidied, Yu Feici turned on the KTV mode on Lu Shishu’s TV, and the fun started all over again.
