“I’m not religious.” Fu Qingxuan scoffed. Well, he decided to show kindness and not to get into it with the girl since she was relishing the food. However, he could not stand her horrible table manners. “Sit down and eat properly.”

Shen Xi happily took a seat when he picked up a pair of chopsticks as well. She asked him, “Did you make all of this?”

Fu Qingxuan refused to admit it. “No way. Do I look like I have a lot of time on hand? I asked the chef to come over.”

Shen Xi replied, “The chef knows his stuff, but compared to my mom, his control over the fire is lacking a tad.”

Fu Qingxuan enquired, “Is your mom a good cook?”

Shen Xi proudly answered with a smile as she nodded, “Whatever my mom makes is delicious.”

Fu Qingxuan gazed at the girl and finally saw the vibrance, cuteness, and innocence in her. Her eyes sparkled like stars in the night sky when she boasted about her mother

She really loved her mother.

Fu Qingxuan had not taken a bite today. After cooking the whole afternoon, he rushed to fetch her from the Huo residence only to have waited anxiously until the last rays of sunset before she appeared.

The food Shen Xi had at the Huo residence was too bland. She preferred well-seasoned dishes and the dinner right now was very much to her liking.

Fu Qingxuan curled his lips gleefully as he gazed at Shen Xi. His appetite grew as he watched the meanie digging into the food.

Shen Xi washed the dishes after the meal.

Standing by the side to oversee her, Fu Qingxuan grumbled and nitpicked. He pointed at the washed bowls, “Do you know how to do the dishes? The soap bubbles aren’t cleaned off properly.”

Shen Xi took a glance at the dishwasher in a corner, thinking that he was out to get her. Nevertheless, she put up with it since she should not bite the hand that fed her. Shen Xi retrieved the bowls and gave them another good rinse.

Fu Qingxuan inspected the bowls and plates with a magnifying glass while continuing his nitpicking. “Look at this plate. There’s a black dot on it. Is this how you work?”

Exercising patience, Shen Xi took the plate and dipped it in the sink.

Seeing that she was about to lose it yet tried to pull it together, Fu Qingxuan was happy to have his revenge at last. He reached out to squeeze her fluffy little ear and looked at her with a gentle frown. “Work hard.”

Shen Xi glared back at him, “And you can clean better than me?”

Fu Qingxuan retorted, “Of course.”

She stepped aside to leave the space to him before gesturing for him to go ahead. She gazed at him and said, “Your turn.”

He rolled up his sleeves. “I’ll show you what’s the right posture to do the dishes. Watch and learn.”

She tried to keep a straight face. The fool fell for it. He simply could not say no to a dare.

He scrubbed the dishes.

She moved a barstool over. Grabbing an apple, she sat on the stool and cheerfully dangled her legs. While chomping the apple, she instructed him. “Great job!”
