104 104 The temptation of delicacies

Tan Rou smiled and let go of Tao Qi. She turned around and turned on a small yellow light. Then, she went to the refrigerator to find ingredients and cook for Tao Qi.

Tao Qi looked coldly at Tan Rou being busy and snorted in his heart. He wanted to see what this bad woman could do. She must be flustered and the food she would make must be terrible, right? He was going to laugh at her later!

Tao Qi sat at the table, waiting to see Tan Rou make a fool of herself.

For a moment, the siblings strangely maintained a certain kind of peaceful atmosphere. Only Tan Rou’s deliberate gentle movements could be heard.

!!

Tan Rou lowered her eyes and seriously prepared dinner for Tao Qi.

She vaguely remembered that Tao Qi was a typical meat lover. So, she heated up a small bowl of the red braised meat that his mother had carefully prepared for him that night. She also made a few chicken wings for him. She was afraid that it would be unhealthy for him to eat too much meat at night and added a dish of green vegetables.

Tan Rou was focused and seemed particularly gentle while cooking. The dim yellow light shone on Tan Rou and the small kitchen gave off a warm feeling.

Tao Qi had been watching coldly from the side, but as he watched, he was unconsciously attracted by Tan Rou’s orderly actions. Tan Rou cut and fried the vegetables unhurriedly and soon the fragrance of vegetables wafted into Tao Qi’s nose.

Tao Qi looked at Tan Rou’s gentle side profile. For some reason, he suddenly remembered how his mother had cooked for him so gently when he was a child. He felt warm for a moment and even thought that Tan Rou was beautiful.

Realizing this thought, Tao Qi quickly shook his head and despised himself in his heart.

Was he crazy? He actually thought that this bad woman was beautiful and gentle? She had just mocked and threatened him.

He must be so hungry that he was hallucinating! He would not be bribed so easily!

However, Tao Qi’s insistence wasn’t as firm as he thought because not long after, when Tan Rou placed the dishes on the table that looked, smelled, and tasted good, Tao Qi’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Tan Rou smiled and thought to herself, ‘as the saying goes, in order to capture a man’s heart, you’d have to capture his stomach first’. Although this saying didn’t fit her ten-year-old brother, it was still true. For a foodie like him, it would be difficult for him to refuse such delicacies placed before him.

Tao Qi looked at the glistening chicken wings. He blinked several times and couldn’t help but gulp.

Tao Qi realised that he had lost his composure but he pretended to be calm and snorted coldly. “You only made three dishes after doing so much work and mom was the one who made one of them. I thought you were very capable!!”

Tan Rou wasn’t angry with him and asked with a smile, “It’s late at night. Do you still expect me to prepare an Imperial Feast for you? How much love do you think I have for you?”

Tao Qi was at a loss. He hugged his arms and refused to move his chopsticks.

Tan Rou sneered, “You’re not a big size boy but you have a big appetite. It’s fine if you don’t want to eat, I’ll just take it as supper for myself!”

Then, Tan Rou lifted her chopsticks and sat down opposite Tao Qi. She raised her hand and was about to pick up a piece of chicken wing.

Tao Qi couldn’t hold it in any longer. He watched as Tan Rou picked up the chicken wing he had been looking forward to the most. Afraid that tan Rou would finish it, Tao Qi quickly stopped her. “Didn’t you already have dinner? Be careful or you’ll die of obesity! Isn’t this all done for me?!”

Tan Rou pouted and put down the chicken wing. “Then, you should eat them!”

Seeing Tao Qi pick up the chicken wing with his chopsticks awkwardly, Tan Rou laughed. It was better to goad him into action when dealing with kids like Tao Qi himself.

Tao Qi ate the chicken wing with dissatisfaction. He had already decided to eat one piece to express his disdain and then he would laugh at Tan Rou.

However, he didn’t expect that the moment he took a bite, his eyes widened with shock and there were even stars in his eyes.

Tao Qi ate a few more mouthfuls in surprise and he couldn’t stop.

Cola Chicken Wings were a common family dish but the ones that Tan Rou made were the best Tao Qi had ever eaten! The meat was fresh and tender, and with every bite, it was as if there was a burst of juice in his mouth. It was sweet, especially in line with Tao Qi’s taste.

Tao Qi shamelessly ate a few pieces in a row. In the end, he simply picked up the chicken wing with his hand and devoured it carefully. He quickly finished the entire plate and Tao Qi even sucked the juice on his finger as if he hadn’t had enough.

Tan Rou looked at the satisfied Tao Qi and teased him. “What do you think? Do you like it?”

Tao Qi blushed and nodded arrogantly. “I guess so. I can still swallow them.” However, the truth was that he was why Tan Rou had only made this much. He hadn’t had enough yet!
