Chapter 536: Counterattack
The two children were instantly a little intimidated by him.
Hesitatingly about to leave, they heard Ye Muyu smiling lightly and saying, "You're right. I just remembered that you also caught a cold. I'll take the two children out. Hu Shi, since the master wants to cook personally, you just need to tend to the fire. Don't stay too far away from the master to avoid catching a cold."
"Madam..." Hu Shi was shocked to hear this. It was her habit to follow Ye Muyu. In the next moment, she suddenly understood the madam's intention and quickly silenced herself, not saying another word.
It seemed that the master and the madam were having a dispute?
Although she wanted to advise, she also knew her place and didn't want to meddle in the affairs between her masters, so she pretended not to know anything.
However, she felt immense pressure when the master insisted on cooking himself.
Chu Heng was initially taken aback but when he saw the cunning look flashing in Ye Muyu's eyes, his eyes lit up. Ye Muyu had never been so lively before.
Ye Muyu noticed him looking at her and couldn't help but glare at him.
A hint of amusement flashed in Chu Heng's eyes, which Ye Muyu happened to catch. She bit her lip and turned away, taking the two children with her as she left.
After they left, Chu Heng realized that he had been abandoned. He wanted to catch up but then he regretted his words earlier. However, he couldn't go back on his words, so he had no choice but to stay and cook dinner.
Chu Heng was quite skilled in the kitchen. Coupled with his intelligence, he had already learned to cook the dishes Ye Muyu usually made.
Considering that Ye Muyu had caught a cold and had a poor appetite, Chu Heng stewed some pork ribs with radish. He only used cured pork ribs, so no additional oil or salt was needed and it wouldn't be greasy.
He also prepared a cold dish of tender cucumber, stir-fried shredded potatoes without meat, steamed sweet potatoes, and fried cheese made from milk.
And a bowl of egg custard.
Ye Muyu looked at the table full of dishes, feeling appetite stirring just from the colors alone not to mention the tantalizing aroma.
"Dad, you're amazing." Chu Ziluo praised cautiously, while Chu Heng was serving soup to Ye Muyu, she began to eat.
After taking a bite of the cucumber, she squinted with delight.
Chu Jin was even more unreserved. He found that Dad's cooking was very delicate, even more impressive than Hu Shi's, and only Mom could reach this level.
Usually, Hu Shi was the one who cooked most of the meals at home, so Chu Jin hadn't been so amazed in a long time.
Without saying a word, he eat heartily.
Ye Muyu was still angry about Chu Heng's calculations against her. She pushed the bowl of food back to him and took an empty bowl to serve herself soup.
Chu Heng saw her rejecting his care, feeling even more anxious. Subconsciously he grabbed Ye Muyu's hand.
"What's wrong?" Ye Muyu looked at him.
Chu Heng stared at her intently, and Ye Muyu tried hard to maintain her composure but he still saw through her.
Feeling somewhat embarrassed, she glared at him, "I can do it myself. Let go of me."
She said it very softly, afraid that the two children would misunderstand if they heard.
Chu Heng seemed to understand her concerns and smiled knowingly, deliberately leaning closer to her ear and whispered softly, "Ah Yu, I'm willing to serve you and take care of you. Please drink it obediently. It wouldn't be good if the two children found out, right?"
Ye Muyu was a little annoyed. "I won't drink what you serve."
Seeing Ye Muyu's livelier personality than before, Chu Heng wasn't angry. On the contrary, he was very happy. This kind of Ye Muyu was truly like a real person. In the past, she was too rational, so rational that it made him uneasy. That's why he resorted to this trick, to force her to face her own feelings.
