Chapter 574 Judging Food by Appearance
Mo Yichen was cooking back on to the kitchen door. He had heard Mo Xiangyan’s footsteps a long time ago. He heard Mo Xiangyan sneaking behind him silently, but he didn’t expose Mo Xiangyan. He just heard the sound of Mo Xiangyan’s footsteps coming closer.
“Dad! Is the meal ready?! I’m going to starve to death!” Suddenly, there was like a clap of thunder. Although Mo Yichen was already prepared, he was still taken aback when he suddenly heard Mo Xiangyan’s loud voice.
In order to make Mo Xiangyan happy, he deliberately magnified his panic. He also patted his chest with his big hand. Mo Xiangyan giggled when looking at him. And the whole house was full of Mo Xiangyan’s ringing laughter. It seemed to have magical power. Just listening to this laughter could make people feel happy for no reason.
“If you threaten me again, I won’t let you eat my food!” Mo Yichen pretended to be fierce, and threatened Mo Xiangyan. But how could Mo Xiangyan be afraid of him? He made a face at Mo Yichen, and ran forward to see what Mo Yichen did.
Uh... Cooking was about the color, aroma and taste. However, after looking at Mo Yichen’s dishes, Mo Xiangyan thought they were awful. Was these what his mother usually ate? No wonder she seemed to be thinner than last time. This was not okay. He had to talk to his father. His mother must become so thin because she was too shy to refuse to eat these things.
“Dad, the dishes you make, uh... are not so good-looking.” Mo Xiangyan organized the language in his mind, and thought about not making his father so embarrassed. After thinking about it for a while, he started to talk about the appearance of the dishes.
When Mo Yichen heard this, he was so embarrassed. He was questioned by his son, a little boy. He felt humiliated. And he was glad that Gu Yan was not here now, otherwise it would be too embarrassing for him.
“What do you know? Because the dish is not good-looking, it is not delicious? We judge a person by the internal quality rather than the appearance. You have a bad idea.”
Mo Yichen was really embarrassed, so he had to find a reason to alleviate his embarrassment. He just casually said it, but he didn’t expect that Mo Xiangyan would take it seriously.
“Well, I see. Dad, I won’t ‘judge food by appearance’ next time.” After Mo Xiangyan heard what Mo Yichen said, he felt that what his father said was reasonable, and he reflected on his own words. His father thought about the question in the long term and knew that the big things could be seen through small ones.
Hearing Mo Xiangyan’s words of “judging food by appearance”, Mo Yichen was really speechless. He turned his gaze to the pot in front of him, and continued to fry the already a bit sticky dishes in the pot.
“Go and ask Aunt Yan to hurry up and get ready to eat.” Seeing Mo Xiangyan still walking around in the kitchen and watching the furnishings in the kitchen curiously, Mo Yichen was afraid that Mo Xiangyan would say something such as “judging food by appearance”. So, he quickly sent Mo Xiangyan out of the kitchen. He really couldn’t handle Mo Xiangyan’s witty remarks.
Mo Xiangyan listened to Mo Yichen’s instructions. He withdrew his curious eyes and walked out of the kitchen with his little hands on his back.
Mo Yichen breathed a sigh of relief.
“Tap-tap.” When Mo Xiangyan walked to the bedroom door, he firstly bent his fingers and knocked on the door. After all, there were differences between men and women, and he was a gentleman. Of course, he must behave in an appropriate way.
“Aunt Yan, are you okay? Can I come in?”
Gu Yan had just changed her clothes. When she heard Mo Xiangyan asking outside the door, she was full of joy. She accelerated her hand movement, tying her hair in a bun casually, and then opened the door.
“Daddy lets me ask you to eat!” Looking at Mo Xiangyan whose eyes were shining when he talked about eating, Gu Yan couldn’t help but feel amused. She stretched out her hand and fixed the messy hair on his forehead. Then she took his hand to walk out of the room.
“Let’s help your father set the table!” Feeling the little warmth passed by little chubby hand in her palm, Gu Yan imprinted the satisfaction of this moment in her mind. Every time she got along with Mo Xiangyan was very precious.
“Ok!”
“What kind of dishes are we eating today, Chef Mo?” After Gu Yan and Mo Xiangyan entered the kitchen, the small room seemed even more cramped.
Although the kitchen ventilator was turned on, there were fuel fume smell inevitably in the kitchen. Mo Yichen looked at the two well-dressed people and was rather helpless. He looked at the cooked dishes and asked them to carry out the dishes. He also gathered speed, finished cooking, and then walked out.
“I’m going to start!” Mo Xiangyan learned from the characters in the anime, holding his chopsticks and shouting. Mo Yichen and Gu Yan listened to what he said and watched him staring at the food with his chopsticks seriously. The two adults looked at each other and smiled helplessly. What a gluttonous kid.
Well, his father was right. Although these dishes were not very good-looking, they really tasted good, like the dishes made by the aunt who cooked at his grandmother’s house. Mo Xiangyan chewed and nodded thoughtfully.
How did Gu Yan know what happened between the father and son just now? She was confused by Mo Xiangyan’s inexplicable actions, and turned her head to look at Mo Yichen. However, Mo Yichen only cared about eating and picking food for her. He didn’t even look at Mo Xiangyan.
Gu Yan had no choice but to pick food for Mo Xiangyan. When she watched Mo Xiangyan eating the food she picked, she was convinced that he was okay.
Alas, she thought that she didn’t know what Mo Xiangyan was thinking. Now, he was still young. Would she be more puzzled when he grew up in the future?
Just after thinking about this, Gu Yan felt that she worried too much. She didn’t have to worry about the thing happened in the future. She should finish what she was doing first. As for the future, of course she would talk about it later.
At this moment, she should eat well first. And after the meal, she would call Wang Sha to ask for leave, and saw if Wang Sha could agree. Wang Sha should be able to agree, right? After all, in addition to the relationship between the superior and the subordinate at work, they were friends. Besides, Wang Sha loved her daughter so much. “If she put herself in the place of me, she should be able to understand my feelings for my son, right?” Gu Yan thought.
Thinking about things, Gu Yan slowed down the movement of her hand. Mo Yichen knew that she was distracted. He shook his head helplessly. She could be distracted even while eating. There was nothing he could do about her.
“Ahem.” Mo Yichen coughed, which not only interrupted Gu Yan’s mind, but also attracted Mo Xiangyan’s gaze. The four eyes looked at him directly.
“Nothing. Just eat.” Mo Yichen said embarrassingly. They both stared at him at once, making him a little embarrassed. He quickly picked up food for the two persons and diverted their attention.
