Chapter 159: Chapter 159: The Fear of Being Dominated by Dark Cuisine
Clearly, the family found it hard to believe that Shen Nian was going to cook.
After all, the memory of Guo Chunxiang’s terror at the hands of Shen Nian’s "gourmet" cooking was still fresh in their minds! They had no desire to suffer the same torment Guo Chunxiang had.
"Um, is it too late for me to head out now?"
Shen Xiangnan swallowed hard. ’My sister is great in every way, but her cooking... it’s just too disastrous for words! If we really let her cook dinner for us, are we all going to end up in the hospital?’
"You dare!"
’We share the good times and the bad times together. How could we possibly let Shen Xiangnan escape on his own at a time like this!’
"It’s just one meal. No matter how bad it tastes, we have to eat it. It’s rare for our little sister to be this enthusiastic, so we can’t crush her confidence!"
"Exactly. You two brothers should eat more in a bit. Your mother and I are getting old, after all. Our bodies can’t handle such an ordeal!"
"..."
"..."
Shen Xiangdong and Shen Xiangnan exchanged a glance, then turned to Father Shen and Mrs. Shen with wry smiles.
’Even if they were young, that didn’t necessarily mean they could withstand the torment of a culinary disaster!’
Just as the Shen family was frantically trying to brace themselves mentally, Shen Nian, with Lu Cheng’s help in the kitchen, had already finished preparing a lavish dinner.
"Dinner’s ready! Oh, everyone’s here! Perfect, it’s time to eat!"
As soon as Shen Nian came out of the kitchen, she saw the four of them standing outside. Perfect, that saved her the trouble of calling them one by one.
"Xiao Nian, we ate quite a bit for lunch today, so just a little for dinner is fine. Don’t make too much and let it go to waste."
"Yeah, Sis, I still haven’t digested lunch. I’m not hungry at all. Just a little will be enough!"
The Shen family members didn’t intend to crush Shen Nian’s enthusiasm outright, but if they could get away with eating a little less, they were certainly going to try!
Shen Nian was a little confused by their reactions, but she quickly figured it out.
’They must be remembering those two dishes I made for Guo Chunxiang, the ones that made her throw up instantly!’
’So, they think the food I’ve made for them is another culinary disaster, just like what I gave Guo Chunxiang?’
Thinking this, Shen Nian decided to tease them a little and hold off on telling them the truth for now.
"But I’ve already finished cooking... and it looks like I made quite a lot!"
Right as Shen Nian finished speaking, Lu Cheng walked out of the kitchen carrying two plates of food.
’Mmm, it smells amazing! And it looks so good!’
The four members of the Shen family thought this as they stared at the two dishes Lu Cheng placed on the dining table, and they couldn’t help but swallow.
However, they quickly remembered that the two dishes Guo Chunxiang had eaten were also fragrant and beautiful!
’But that didn’t mean anything! Even if it smelled and looked good, it was all for nothing if it tasted awful!’
As they were lost in thought, Lu Cheng brought out several more dishes from the kitchen. Soon, the table was completely filled, looking even more lavish than their lunch.
The four members of the Shen family stared at the table full of food, crying on the inside.
’So many dishes... is this going to kill us?!’
"Dad, Mom, Big Bro, Xiangnan, I made all this especially for you. Hurry up and try some!"
Shen Nian said, looking at them after she had served everyone a bowl of rice.
The four of them picked up their rice bowls, their hands beginning to tremble.
"Do we... really have to eat it?"
"Of course! Trust me, it’s delicious!"
The four of them looked at Shen Nian. They wanted to believe her, they really did! But the memory of what happened before was still so vivid. How could they possibly dare to trust her now?
