Chapter 156: Chapter 149: Dark Meat Buns (Part 2)

After all, he still had to save some face for this “financial backer dad.”

Seeing Chef Ge’s approval, Liu Shiwei smiled smugly and didn’t forget to flash Wen Xueqian a proud look, as if to say: Did you hear that? Even Chef Ge says it’s delicious. My cooking skills have been recognized by a professional!

He once again threw himself wholeheartedly into the joy of cooking, without hesitation adding sixty milliliters of premium champagne into the meat filling, which was becoming darker and larger in volume, and then continued to mix it with enthusiasm.

Speaking of which.

This filling… can it even be eaten?

Will eating it cause food poisoning and result in diarrhea?

Looking at the meat filling in the bowl becoming increasingly black, Wen Xueqian couldn’t help but look up at the ceiling in exasperation. She really wanted to ask Liu Shiwei: Do you even have the slightest decency about your cooking skills? With this kind of filling, are you trying to poison me so you can find a new wife?

But she didn’t say it in the end. After all, this was her husband’s intention; she couldn’t bear to expose him…

By the way, how was she going to escape this disaster later?

…

When Liu Ruihan finished freshening up and came down the stairs, an indescribable smell was already permeating the floor below the Liu family.

This smell was like the unique fragrance emitted from an unwashed smelly shoe insert placed on a heater for a long time…

Liu Ruihan’s steps involuntarily paused, her nose wrinkled as she tried to ignore the unpleasant smell, only to meet Wen Xueqian’s nearly desperate gaze at the kitchen door.

Liu Ruihan: ???

“Hanhan, you’re just in time. We’re ready to eat…” Liu Shiwei appeared with a pleasant smile, holding an exquisite steamer basket.

In an instant…

An even stronger smell of smelly shoe inserts wafted over.

Liu Ruihan shivered inwardly, covering her nose and said, “Daddy, what’s that stinky thing…”

“Stinky?”

Liu Shiwei sniffed.

Yeah, it does smell a bit…

But he didn’t believe there was a problem with his meat buns; he unconsciously thought it was drifting in from outside. He said to Jiang Cuiping not far away, “Aunt Cui, close the doors and windows at home, don’t let the smell from outside come in…”

Jiang Cuiping: “…”

Wen Xueqian: “…”

Chef Ge: “…”

Closing the doors and windows, are you trying to suffocate us…

Liu Ruihan: ???

Dad, are you sure it’s the smell from outside and not from inside the house?

With a “clang” sound.

He put the steamer basket on the dining table and lifted the lid.

The next second…

Meat buns, with no aesthetic appeal at all, lay scattered horizontally and vertically on the steamer cloth, with dark brown juice wantonly oozing from their openings…

Upon seeing the scene before them, Wen Xueqian and Liu Ruihan’s eyes stung a little.

Liu Shiwei, at this moment, finally showed some self-awareness, saying, “The first time I did it all by myself was quite difficult. The buns don’t look very good…”

Wen Xueqian was in a daze.

After all, the meat buns made by Liu Shiwei, whether in aroma or appearance, completely overturned her perception of meat buns.

Liu Ruihan had never seen such ugly and stinky buns either, and for a moment, she didn’t know how to respond to her father’s words, blinking her innocent big eyes, looking all flustered and helpless.

But Chef Ge cheerfully said, “Chairman Liu, your buns are quite well done. For a first-time all by yourself, it’s already pretty good!”

Liu Ruihan: ???

Uncle Ge, are you sure?

Wen Xueqian: ???

Chef Ge, your skill in lying with your eyes open has improved quite a bit…

Don’t you know that this isn’t helping him; you’re harming him…

Sure enough, Liu Shiwei was coaxed into a good mood, smiling broadly as he immediately handed out chopsticks to Wen Xueqian and Liu Ruihan: “Honey, Hanhan, come on, quickly taste the meat buns I made while they’re hot. Although the appearance might not be great, the taste should definitely be good.”

“Okay!”

Wen Xueqian forced out an awkward yet polite smile, took the chopsticks, and cautiously reached for the meat bun.

Just as the tip of the chopstick lightly touched the bun’s skin…

The phone on the dining table suddenly rang.

She casually put down the chopsticks, quickly picked it up for a glance, then furrowed her brows slightly, and looked apologetically at Liu Shiwei: “Honey, I’m truly sorry, my best friend is going abroad today, I promised her I would take her to the airport, so I guess I have to go first.”

“Huh? Going abroad this early in the morning?” Liu Shiwei showed a bewildered expression, not noticing Wen Xueqian’s strangeness, only instinctively asking a follow-up question.

Before he finished his sentence.

Wen Xueqian had already stood up quickly, grabbing her handbag to put away her phone.

“And what about the meat buns?” Liu Shiwei asked somewhat awkwardly, looking at Wen Xueqian’s back.

“I’ll take a few to eat on the way, and let my best friend try my husband’s love-filled buns!”

With that, she went into the kitchen to get a plastic bag.

Seeing this, Liu Shiwei immediately smiled, wiping away the yet-to-form disappointment on his face and promptly reached out to take the plastic bag, kindly saying, “Come on, let me pack it for you.”

“Hanhan, didn’t you agree to meet Weiwei and Qingqing at the kindergarten earlier? I can drop you off on my way and save your dad the trip, okay?” Wen Xueqian caught Liu Ruihan’s gaze, giving her a wink.

Liu Ruihan, who was restless and wondering whether to risk eating the buns, instantly understood Wen Xueqian’s hint.

“Mm-hmm…Daddy, I’ll leave too, otherwise, Weiwei and Qingqing would get anxious waiting…”

Liu Ruihan quickly put down her chopsticks, with a panicked expression, swiftly slid off the chair, and went with Wen Xueqian, leaving Liu Shiwei alone to face the remaining meat buns.

“This early in the morning, how come everyone suddenly got so busy? They don’t even have time to sit down and have a proper breakfast with me?”

Liu Shiwei mumbled to himself in confusion, at the same time picking up a meat bun for a bite.

The next second…

“Ugh… spit spit spit…”

He spat out the meat bun in a rush, his expression suddenly turning incredulous.

He had thought the meat buns would taste good, but who would have imagined…

They were so awful!

At this moment…

He suddenly understood the meaning of that old saying: When God closes a door for you, he inevitably shuts all the windows.

He had amazing judgment and acuity in the business field, but clearly, in terms of cooking talent, he had not been favored by God at all.

Simultaneously, he belatedly realized…

The mother and daughter duo didn’t really have urgent matters; they were purely avoiding his “dark meat buns” while also saving his face…

At this moment…

He wasn’t sure whether to laugh or cry…

Oh well!

Forget it!

He accepted his fate!

At most, in the future, let his daughter recognize Huang Jun as her godfather.

This way, the relationship between the two families could be even closer, and his daughter visiting her godfather’s house for meals would be perfectly legitimate.

He, as the real dad, could also enjoy Huang Jun’s culinary delights by extension.

Thinking this way, he was completely relieved, no longer struggling over the issue of his daughter calling Huang Jun “Dad.”
