Chapter 0040 – Doing It Yourself (1 / 2)

“I’ll have someone go to the kitchen and prepare some snacks to send over.”

She offered softly, her tone full of thoughtfulness, and was about to retract her hand, which was about to ring the call bell, when she was interrupted by a low, magnetic voice.

“Want to eat ripped noodles.”

These four words, simple and direct, carry unquestionable power.

Noodles?

Su Wanqing was slightly surprised in her heart, this was not a common choice of dim sum, especially in such a high-class mansion, the kitchen might not always have the materials and skills to make tugging noodles.

Her eyes flickered slightly, showing a hint of hesitation.

“I’ll ask the cook if he can prepare it.”

Once again she tried to draw back the tightly held hand, yet, as if it had a will of its own, the large hand steadily pressed her hand against the softness of the couch, conveying warmth and firmness.

The low, slightly husky voice sounded again, like a whisper in the night, “I want to eat what you made with your own hands.”

As soon as these words entered her ears, Su Wanqing couldn’t help but take a deep breath, her heart skipped a beat and seemed to have missed a beat, a look of dismay and surprise surfaced on her face.

“Kizhi Iu, what did you just say?”

She reconfirmed, a hint of disbelief in her tone.

Qi Zhi Iu slowly opened his mouth, his speech was unhurried, revealing a certain confidence that could not be refuted, “You’ve lived in Mount Yi Ping for so long, tugging on noodles, this kind of home-cooked noodle dish, shouldn’t be too difficult for you, should it?”

Su Wanqing’s mood instantly tumbled with his words, like taking a roller coaster ride, with both surprise and nervousness. “Well, it will be, just …… not sure if it meets your taste.”

She dropped her eyes slightly, her voice soft but with a hint of uncertainty.

“Don’t put scallions on it, I don’t like it.”

His request was succinct and clear, and there was an imperceptible indifference in his tone, but his speed remained unhurried and unhurried, and he appeared to be extraordinarily subdued.

This time, her hand was finally freed and she was secretly relieved, “Okay, you wait.”

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, the man had risen lightly and walked briskly down the stairs, heading straight for the kitchen.

Coincidentally, the housekeeper, Uncle Sheng, was walking out from within the kitchen, and when he saw her, his face immediately piled up with a gentle smile, “Young Lady, I was about to ask you and Young Master Qi to come downstairs for dinner.”

Su Wanqing’s gaze swept over the exquisite dishes already prepared on the table and softly said, “Your young master said he wanted to eat torn noodles.”

Uncle Sheng sniffed, a trace of difficulty flashed across his face, “This ……” Before the words were finished, the chef in the kitchen, who was busy in a frenzy, sniffed, and immediately stopped his hands, extinguished the stove fire, and turned around, “Young lady, this we haven’t done before.”

She smiled softly, a confident glint in her eyes, “It’s okay, I’ll do it.”

His eyes swept over the ingredients already prepared on the side, “These …… Uncle Sheng, you take them down to the other servants to enjoy. Young Master Qi is picky, what he doesn’t eat, it wouldn’t be appropriate to leave until tomorrow.”

Uncle Sheng smiled gently, his eyes full of approval, “Good, I’ll thank Young Lady on their behalf.”

“Please prepare me some more flour.”

With that, she took a clean apron from a side shelf and meticulously tied it around her waist, then rolled up her sleeves in a manner that made her look ready for the big show.

At the same time, upstairs in the living room, Qi Zhi Iu lazily half lying on the sofa, playing with the tablet computer in his hands, the monitor image on the screen is fixed on the busy figure in the kitchen, the corner of his lips inadvertently hooked up an undetectable smile.

Just as he saw Su Wanqing’s movements as she began to harmonize the noodles, he faintly commanded, “Call someone over to help.”

“What are Young Master Qi’s orders?”

The servant inquired respectfully.

“Strength work don’t let the young lady touch it.”

He commanded in a deep voice, his words revealing an imperturbable majesty.
