Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
An hour later, a table of dishes was served.
Fang Yunshu was surprised. Not only did the dishes look, smell, and taste good, but they were diverse.
Fang Ling’er took a deep breath and said, “It smells so good. Daddy is so awesome.”
Ye Xiaofei smiled proudly, “Come and taste my cooking.”
Fang Ling’er immediately ate it up. As she chewed, she mumbled, “Daddy’s cooking is really delicious.”
Fang Yunshu tried a few mouthfuls. She wanted to mock him, but the taste was good. It was true that Fang Yunshu couldn’t say anything against her conscience, but it was absolutely impossible for her to praise Ye Xiaofei.
After eating for a while, Ye Xiaofei looked at Fang Yunshu in confusion and said, “Hey, why don’t you eat seafood?”
“It’s too troublesome,” said Fang Yunshu lightly.
“It’s easy. Watch me.”
Ye Xiaofei picked up a crab and waved his hands. His fingers were like butterflies flying through flowers.
The crab was dismembered in the blink of an eye. The crab shell was neatly placed back together into its original position, with a pile of crab meat on the plate beside it.
Fang Yunshu and Fang Ling’er were dumbfounded. Not only was the movement so fast that it dazzled their eyes, but it was also graceful.
“Have some.” Ye Xiaofei handed the crab meat to Fang Yunshu with a smile.
Fang Ling’er waved her hands excitedly and said, “Daddy, 1 want some too. I want some too!”
Ye Xiaofei said with a smile, “Then I’ll do it for you too.”
His tone was gentle and his eyes were full of love.
Fang Ling’er was eating the crab meat, but her eyes were fixed on the crab shell. “Daddy, you’re so powerful.”
“Do you want to learn how to do it?” Ye Xiaofei blinked.
“Can I learn it?” Fang Ling’er’s eyes lit up.
Ye Xiaofei stroked Fang Ling’er’s hair and said, “You’re a smart child. As long as you’re willing to learn, you can definitely learn it.”
“Then I’ll learn. I’ll learn!” Fang Ling’er excitedly picked up a crab.
“Why do you want to learn that?” Fang Yunshu frowned. What if you hurt your hand?”
Fang Ling’er pouted and lowered her head without saying a word. The light in her eyes instantly disappeared.
Ye Xiaofei frowned and said to Fang Yunshu, “Come with me for a moment.”
The two of them walked to the balcony. Ye Xiaofei said with a straight face, “For Ling’er to be able to cultivate something that she’s interested in, that’s a great benefit to treating her condition. Don’t you know that?”
“I…” Fang Yunshu instinctively wanted to retort when Ye Xiaofei questioned her. However, when the words came out of her mouth, her rationality prevailed over her emotions. She said, “Of course I know, but she’s just a child. Isn’t it too dangerous for her to learn such things?”
Ye Xiaofei rolled his eyes at Fang Yunshu. “Do you think I’m stupid? Would I teach Ling’er something that could hurt her? I’m just using that as a starter before having her learn other things.”
“What other things?” Fang Yunshu immediately asked.
Ye Xiaofei said, “Practicing kung fu. As long as she’s interested in that, she’ll definitely be cured soon.”
“Practice kung fu?” Fang Yunshu frowned. Fang Ling’er was so young… Moreover, she was a girl. Would her arms and legs be very thick?”
“Don’t worry. What 1 taught her will only make her more beautiful and elegant. She’ll be even more beautiful than her mother.” Ye Xiaofei smiled.
“Humph!” Fang Yunshu immediately widened her eyes and said, “But in the future, whatever you want to do, you’d better tell me first. Remember, that is my daughter. Only I can decide what she should do. Without my consent, you definitely can’t have her do anything in private.”
Ye Xiaofei was a little speechless. “I’m so good to Ling’er, but you’re guarding against me like I’m a thief. That’s a little too much.”
Fang Yunshu opened her mouth and snorted, “Don’t you know why?”
Ye Xiaofei rolled his eyes. “Our matters and Ling’er’s should be kept separate.”
Fang Yunshu didn’t say anything. Since she didn’t object, it meant that she agreed.
The two of them returned to the table. Fang Yunshu immediately smiled and said, “Ling’er, I was wrong just now. If you want to learn, then learn. 1 hope to eat the crab meat you peel for me in the future.”
Fang Ling’er raised her head and glanced at Fang Yunshu before lowering her head again.
“I’m not lying to you,” said Fang Yunshu. “Ask him if you don’t believe me.”
Fang Ling’er turned to Ye Xiaofei.
Ye Xiaofei smiled and said, “It’s true.”
Fang Ling’er’s eyes lit up again. “Daddy, teach me quickly.”
Ye Xiaofei shook his head. “I can’t do that now. If you want to learn that, you have to learn something else as well.”
Fang Ling’er blinked her eyes, and her face tensed up. “Daddy, is that difficult to learn? Do you have to teach me every day?”
Ye Xiaofei instantly read Fang Ling’er’s thoughts from her eyes and said seriously, “It is definitely not easy. If you can persevere every day, then it will be effective.”
“As long as you are willing to teach me every day, I’ll definitely practice every day.”
Fang Yunshu looked at them and snorted. “You’d better give up on that idea. One or two days a week.”
Fang Yunshu had seen through Fang Ling’er and Ye Xiaofei’s little scheme. They exchanged glances and chuckled.
Fang Yunshu was speechless for a while. Her daughter was actually on the same side as Ye Xiaofei. She seemed to be an outsider.
“Come, you guys eat. I’ll peel the crab meat for you.” In order to ease the awkwardness, Ye Xiaofei changed the topic.
Fang Yunshu subconsciously wanted to reject him again, but then she thought about it again. That b*stard had caused her so much trouble. Wasn’t it only right for him to serve her? Why shouldn’t she use him?
Thinking of that, Fang Yunshu felt at ease and ate comfortably.
“This tastes a little bland. That tastes a little salty.”
Ye Xiaofei didn’t feel unhappy about Fang Yunshu’s criticism. He immediately explained, “1 haven’t used these seasonings for too long, so I don’t have a good gauge of the amount to be used. After seasoning them a few times, there will definitely be no problem.”
Fang Yunshu felt even more at ease, and her expression relaxed a lot. She even smiled.
However, when Fang Yunshu met Ye Xiaofei’s gaze, her face tensed up again.
She couldn’t look at that kid kindly. The past few years of grievances weren’t so easy to get over..
