Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

Chapter 158: Chapter 158: She’s Going to Cook, You’ve Got to Be Kidding

"But... will this cause problems for you?"

Shen Nian was, of course, touched that Lu Cheng wanted to protect her. However, she didn’t want him to suffer any negative consequences on her account.

"It won’t."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Well, alright then!"

Since Lu Cheng said there wouldn’t be any issues, Shen Nian decided to take him at his word. ’After all, he still has plenty of secrets I haven’t figured out!’

"Well then, let’s look around some more! This mountain is full of treasures. Maybe we’ll find something else to add to my space."

"Alright."

The two of them wandered around the mountain for a while longer, with Shen Nian leading Lu Cheng to nearly every spot she had visited before.

Treasures like ginseng and Lingzhi were naturally not that easy to come by. Still, Shen Nian managed to stumble upon quite a few wild fruit trees and medicinal herbs that weren’t in her space. Anything she found, she transferred directly inside.

These were exactly what she needed most right now.

By the time the two of them came down from the mountain, two hours had passed. Fortunately, they had left early in the day, so it was still light out.

Back at the Shen family home, Shen Nian saw Miao Cuifen just about to go into the kitchen to prepare dinner. She walked over and stopped her.

"Mom, let me make dinner tonight!"

Come to think of it, Shen Nian had never cooked a single meal for her family. ’I really didn’t know how to cook before, but now I want my family to taste my cooking.’

However, as far as Miao Cuifen and the rest of the Shen family were concerned, their perception of Shen Nian’s culinary abilities was still defined by the incident from earlier that day—when she’d managed to make Guo Chunxiang vomit with her cooking.

And while the whole family doted on Shen Nian, they had no desire to be tortured by her "dark cuisine" the way Guo Chunxiang had been!

"It’s alright, let Mom do it. You and Lu Cheng should go get some rest!"

Miao Cuifen said, still intending to head for the kitchen, but Shen Nian stopped her again.

"I’ve finally come home for a visit, Mom. Please, just give me this one chance! Lu Cheng can help me. I promise, the two of us will whip up a magnificent feast for everyone!"

Without waiting for a response, Shen Nian pushed her mother back into the living room, grabbed Lu Cheng, and disappeared into the kitchen, giving Miao Cuifen no chance to change her mind.

Pushed back into the living room, Miao Cuifen was tempted to march right back in and reclaim her kitchen. But seeing Shen Nian’s ecstatic expression, she suddenly didn’t have the heart to spoil her mood.

’It’s just... choosing between not spoiling Shen Nian’s fun and eating a horrible dinner... it was a truly difficult choice!’

"Weren’t you going to make dinner? Why are you still standing here?"

Shen Jian Country asked in confusion as he walked over and saw Miao Cuifen standing dazed in the living room.

Miao Cuifen pointed toward the kitchen and looked at Shen Jian Country, replying with a helpless look on her face.

"Your daughter has commandeered the kitchen. She says she’s going to make us a magnificent feast."

After she finished speaking, Miao Cuifen shrugged helplessly. She’d tried to object, but it seemed her objection was overruled.

"What?"

"What?"

Following Shen Jian Country’s shocked cry, Shen Xiangdong and Shen Xiangnan, who had just walked over, also heard what Miao Cuifen said. In an instant, the three men of the household all turned to stare at the kitchen in unison.

"Xiao Nian is going to cook? You can’t be serious!"
