LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 11:
Chapter 11: One Phone Call Left Su Wanqing Shocked!
When Su Wanqing turned around, Shen Anyu had a serious expression and sincerely praised, “Aunt, you’re being too modest. Even a twenty-year-old girl can’t compare to your figure!”
Su Wanqing couldn’t help but smile at Shen Anyu’s sincere compliment.
Then, Shen Anyu continued praising her without the slightest hesitation, showering her with over-the-top flattery that made her heart bloom with joy. She playfully rolled her eyes at him and said, “You little rascal, you’re too good with your words. Is this how you tricked my Hongmian into falling for you?”
Shen Anyu just smiled silently.
“You must be hungry too. I’ll go make breakfast. When it’s ready, call Hongmian downstairs to eat.”
After jogging for a while, around 7 a.m., Su Wanqing started preparing breakfast. Even though she had a net worth of billions, she remained grounded and still made breakfast for her daughter Su Hongmian every day, unless she was too busy with work.
But Shen Anyu stopped her and offered eagerly, “Aunt, let me make breakfast. You’ve worked hard enough.”
“You’re a guest. How could I let a guest do that?” Su Wanqing replied with a laugh and shook her head.
Just then, she accidentally kicked the corner of the table, stumbled forward, and nearly fell.
Luckily, Shen Anyu reacted quickly and caught her in time.
Su Wanqing looked at him gratefully and said, “Anyu, thank you for the help… ah…”
She gasped in pain. It was clear she had hurt herself when she hit the table.
Shen Anyu immediately helped her sit on a chair and said with a firm but gentle smile, “Aunt, take a seat and rest. Let me handle breakfast.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he entered the kitchen, put on an apron, took out some meat and vegetables from the fridge, and began preparing a hearty breakfast.
With the bonus from his Extraordinary Culinary Skills, Shen Anyu was confident he could cook an incredible meal.
Su Wanqing watched him busy in the kitchen and couldn’t help but smile. “This kid, I didn’t expect him to actually know how to cook. He looks pretty serious about it too.”
“But…” Su Wanqing shook her head slightly. She didn’t really believe that a young master from a prestigious family like Shen Anyu, who had grown up pampered, could make anything truly tasty. As long as it was edible and the seasoning was right, that was good enough.
Just like her daughter Su Hongmian—never mind cooking—she could cut her finger just chopping vegetables.
Su Wanqing made up her mind. No matter how bad the breakfast turned out, she would still give him a few compliments.
By this time, Su Hongmian had already freshened up. Wearing a red dress that covered her knees, she slowly came downstairs holding the railing, her brows occasionally furrowed.
When she saw Shen Anyu busy in the kitchen, she was dumbfounded. Her pink lips parted in surprise. “Mom, you let Shen Anyu cook breakfast?”
Su Wanqing rolled her eyes at her and said, “What do you mean ‘let’? It was Anyu who offered to do it himself. Look at him—so capable and thoughtful. And you? You’re not even helping?”
Su Hongmian playfully stuck out her tongue and walked toward the kitchen to lend a hand.
“Mianmian, no need. Just go sit down. It’ll be ready soon. Besides, you’re not exactly in a convenient state.” Shen Anyu gave her a mischievous look, his smile full of hidden meaning.
Su Hongmian’s pretty face flushed red. She glared at him, but her shyness only added to her charm.
But when she turned back and caught a glimpse of the food Shen Anyu was making, she thought she saw a flash of golden light. “Huh?”
When she looked again, there was nothing, and she figured she must’ve imagined it.
Shen Anyu, on the other hand, sighed inwardly. So glowing food really does exist!
Looking at the breakfast he had made, he was also curious about how it would taste.
Soon, he finished cooking and brought the dishes out.
“I just made a few simple dishes: bird’s nest shredded duck, three-flavor egg dumplings, scallion oil noodles, rice wine glutinous balls, and three glasses of freshly squeezed soy milk.”
“If it’s not great, please don’t mind.”
Wearing a white apron and smiling warmly, Shen Anyu looked every bit the picture of elegance.
Su Wanqing praised, “Anyu, you really are good both inside and out. Let me taste your cooking.”
She picked up a three-flavor egg dumpling, gently opened her red lips, and took a small bite.
But the moment she tasted it, she froze—completely still.
“Mom, what’s wrong?” Su Hongmian asked, puzzled.
She then picked up an egg dumpling herself and took a bite, thinking that maybe it was just too bad to swallow.
Hmph, she knew it. Shen Anyu probably didn’t know how to cook. That scoundrel only knew how to be naughty, not how to make food.
Thinking about last night—and the lingering soreness in her legs—Su Hongmian glared at him angrily.
Still, she thought she’d say a few kind words to save his pride.
Hmph! He was lucky to have a noble young lady like her!
However, the moment her teeth broke through the egg dumpling and the rich, savory broth burst in her mouth like a tidal wave, her whole body trembled.
“This is… this is too delicious!” she exclaimed in disbelief.
She was completely stunned.
As a pampered heiress, Su Hongmian had eaten all kinds of gourmet food.
Her mother, Su Wanqing, was an excellent cook too.
But never had she tasted something like this. A simple egg dumpling—yet it tasted so heavenly, like she was about to swallow her own tongue.
It was pure bliss!
Shen Anyu also picked up some bird’s nest shredded duck with his chopsticks and took a bite. The exquisite flavor danced on his tongue, and his brow lifted in surprise and admiration.
This was on another level—far beyond even national banquet chefs.
As expected of Extraordinary Culinary Skills—surpassing all human limits, truly unbelievable!
But Shen Anyu remained calm, as if this was perfectly normal. He smiled at the two women, who were still stunned with joy, and said, “If it’s good, then eat more. As long as you like it.”
Next, both Su Wanqing and Su Hongmian completely forgot their manners. They couldn’t stop eating until the entire breakfast was gone—every last bite.
They even nearly fought over the last egg dumpling, almost going head-to-head like mother and daughter rivals.
The tension was thick.
In the end, Shen Anyu ate it himself to end the war between the big and little women.
The plates were left spotless—like they had already been washed. Not even a drop of soup remained.
Su Wanqing finally wiped her lips with satisfaction and exclaimed in awe, “Anyu, your cooking skills are better than those of any national banquet chef. Amazing!”
“You turned the most ordinary home-style dishes into something magical!”
“Incredible! Just incredible!”
Su Hongmian’s favorability rating increased by another five points, reaching eighty-eight—only two points away from ninety!
She looked at the impossibly handsome Shen Anyu, her beautiful eyes filled with admiration and affection. She couldn’t even hide it anymore. A sense of inferiority crept into her heart.
How could a man like this exist? So tall and handsome, a master of medicine, a driver on par with professionals, and now a top-tier chef?
He could do everything—there was nothing he couldn’t do.
Compared to Shen Anyu, even a proud and pampered young lady like her started to lose confidence.
At this moment, her heart was completely captured by Shen Anyu. No other man could ever take his place again.
[Ding! The emotional arc of the Chosen One Xia Liu has experienced a major fluctuation. Plundering +Destiny Points!]
Shen Anyu smiled inwardly. He planned to strike while the iron was hot and push the favorability past ninety today!
As for a full one hundred—that meant unshakable loyalty, staying together through life and death. That would come later…
