Stealing Your Heart Chapter 310
“Young Master, Young Mistress, the dumplings are ready. Ma’am requests for your presence,” Mr. Feng informed them.
Lin Xinyan swallowed her words. “Let’s go.”
Zong Jinghao had been drinking on an empty stomach, and the mention of food made his stomach growl.
“Alright,” he hummed in response.
Chinese New Year was months away, but Cheng Yuxiu cooked up a feast anyway, considering the fact that they had four more mouths to feed. She hoped to get on Zong Jinghao’s good side as well.
She did not know what Zong Jinghao liked, so she cooked a variety of dishes.
Lin Xinyan caught on immediately and glanced at Zong Jinghao intendedly.
Zong Jinghao merely evaded her gaze and pulled out a chair to sit down.
Lin Xinyan walked into the kitchen just as the maid turned off the stove. She picked up a ladle and offered, “I’ll do it.”
Everyone’s dumplings were mixed together in the pot, making the ugly ones look increasingly jarring, next to the pretty ones.
Lin Xinyan scooped the dumplings into one giant bowl, which confused the maid.
“I wouldn’t eat that if I were you,” the maid warned her. “I don’t think that anyone can finish that!”
Lin Xinyan grinned. “Someone will.”
I’m doing this on purpose!
Didn’t you refuse to eat Cheng Yuxiu’s dumplings? How about the ones the kids and I had made?
Try eating it all, you picky jerk!
Lin Ruixi was already full, so Lin Xinyan filled three bowls with dumplings- one for herself, one for Lin Xichen, and one for Cheng Yuxiu. She handed the three bowls to the maid to help her set the table.
Lin Xinyan set the giant bowl of misshapen dumplings right before Zong Jinghao. “I’m sure that you won’t reject this? I made this for you along with the kids.”
Zong Jinghao stared at the giant bowl in shock. This is enough to feed a whole litter of pigs!
“Make sure that you finish it, Daddy!” Lin Xichen reminded him, echoing Lin Xinyan’s thoughts. He pulled his sister over and asked, “Look! Daddy’s eating your dumplings! Aren’t you happy?”
“Yes! Of course!” she chirped. “Do you like my dumplings, Daddy?”
Zong Jinghao fell silent.
How am I going to say no to her?
He picked his spoon up and stirred the suspicious mixture of dough and vegetables that looked nothing like dumplings.
“Why aren’t you eating, Daddy?” Lin Ruixi asked curiously. She had looked forward to the moment that her father had tasted the dumplings she made.
Lin Xinyan poured him some vinegar. “It’ll taste better with vinegar.”
“Yeah, Daddy! It tastes better with vinegar!” Lin Ruixi echoed.
Cheng Yuxiu stood at the side, wringing her hands together anxiously. How is he going to finish that huge bowl of dumplings?
She hesitated for a moment before walking up to him with an empty bowl and saying, “Give me some, I’ll help you finish it.”
