Hidden Marriage, Overbearing Love: Mr! Please Let Me Go

Chapter 1156 - 1160: The Flavor Is Simply Wonderful

Thankfully, Xia Qingqian was definitely not acting weird, and softly asked, "Yao?"Beitang Yao then woke up from his daze, released her, took her hand, and left the kitchen, gently saying, "Let’s eat together." He was hungry too; he hadn’t eaten anything at the company because he wanted to keep his stomach empty for the dinner she cooked for him.

The servant had already placed each dish Xia Qingqian made on the table, and Sister Huan scooped two bowls of soup and set them aside at the dining table.

"What kind of soup is this?" A rich aroma wafted over, making his stomach rumble.

Looking at the delicious array of dishes, a warm feeling surged up in his heart. His mother came from a distinguished background but humbled herself to learn cooking for his father, who scorned every dish she made. However, he cherished them, as they were dishes made by his mother’s own hands. Initially, the food was indeed not very tasty, but as time went on, his mother’s skills improved dramatically! He praised them non-stop!

He saw a shadow of his mother in Xia Qingqian, a gentle, serene, and elegantly simple woman.

"It’s corn lotus root pork rib soup. See if the taste is okay?" She carefully replied, hoping he would like the soup she simmered.

The soup had been simmered for three hours, and every dish here she made with great effort. She knew Beitang Yao had irregular meals all the time, eating dishes more suited to Westerners.

This kind of diet was not good for his stomach and lacked much nutritional value.

So she promised herself to carefully prepare every meal for Young Master. Yes, every meal, as long as she stays by Beitang Yao’s side, she would take care of every meal.

Beitang Yao sat down, took a sip of the soup, then looked up at her and nodded approvingly, saying, "Mm, the taste is wonderful!" He praised her generously.

From the moment Beitang Yao sat down, her gaze was fixed on him, so she didn’t miss the sparkling brightness in his eyes as he drank the soup, making her heart tighten sharply!

She was very good at taking care of herself from a young age; in her life, only Mr. Xia had the chance to taste her cooking. And when she returned home from class, she cooked alone; her father never cooked, not even on her birthday—not that he would do anything special—so she simply stopped celebrating birthdays altogether, even during holidays like Christmas, she dared not join the festivities.

It’s not that she’s disconnected from the world; she simply can’t fit into that world. After all, it’s just a holiday, every day is lived the same way, without the need for elaborate ceremonies.

Now, receiving Beitang Yao’s approval, she actually felt her eyes welling up with tears—it wasn’t in vain after working hard all afternoon.

"Sit down and eat together." He pulled her down beside him, picked up a napkin, and wiped the sweat from her face, "Praising your cooking, not enough to make you this emotional, right?"

"No... it’s just the heat..." Xia Qingqian gasped.

"Then do I need to cool you down?" He gave her a charmingly wicked smile, revealing his neat white teeth. Seeing her slightly stunned expression, he stopped teasing her and told her to start eating too.

Initially, Xia Qingqian didn’t understand the meaning in Beitang Yao’s words, but in an instant, she realized, and her face turned beet red, like the shade of a tomato.

She picked up a spoon and sipped the soup in small mouthfuls.
