Chapter 43

The next day . Unlike yesterday which was cold, the weather was just right, not too hot with a slight breeze of wind .

It was the opening day of Xia Yun's bakery and Mi Rong was sent a dress from Xia Yun to wear . Luckily Xia Yun knew Mi Rong loved wearing covering clothes . So, the dress was to her liking and also fitted the theme for the event .

Because Mi Rong was still stuck with the old teachings, she was used to wearing covering clothes . It just made her feel slightly safer . She was also afraid of her mother's curse, never look down on curses or she might be like her ancestors . Even when she was a nurse, she had specifically asked to wear long pants and used an excuse that it'll be better if there was an emergency . Her request luckily pa.s.sed through with the help from her doctor in charge .

The dress was a long floral dress with long sleeves and a turtleneck . Once it was on her, it made her look taller and made her look like a fairy that came out from the movies . Mi Rong did not put any makeup on and just left with a clean face . She was never a fan of it and just liked her face to be free from anything . Her mother would always have to force her to put them on . She could only now smile at the past .

When she went downstairs, Jun Kai was already awake with a cup of coffee on the table . He was going through some newspapers with his legs crossed .

Advertis.e.m.e.nt

Mi Rong was quite surprised to see him at home . She had thought that he would be leaving early like always . What an unpredictable person . She decided to not bother with him and was about to go into the kitchen like usual . However, her steps halted when Jun Kai said, "Good morning . "

Although he had said good morning, his eyes were still focused on his newspaper in front of him . Mi Rong did not want to start an argument, so she simply replied him with a good morning and walked away .

When Jun Kai heard her short reply, he furrowed his brows . She didn't even say anything more .

"Wait a minute . "

Mi Rong once again stopped in her tracks . She turned around and at the same time Jun Kai looked up . She was looking in another direction from Jun Kai slightly annoyed .

Jun Kai was in a daze for a split second before looking away . The whole place was in silence . Mi Rong who was thinking why was Jun Kai not speaking when he had told her to wait, so she looked at him who was looking in another direction from her . Was this guy trying to play with her, tsk, this lady does not have time for that .

"If you don't have anything to say, I'm leaving . " With that Mi Rong left without turning back . Such a ha.s.sle .

Once Mi Rong went inside the kitchen, everyone was already used to seeing her coming in to help . Sometimes this miss would even cook everything on her own . Mi Rong thought of grandma Feng decided to make birds nest soup for her and a traditional herbal soup for her . She then made some other traditional cuisine for Qing Qing .

It only took her around an hour to finish cooking and she told everyone to set up the table . Because of cooking her face was slightly blus.h.i.+ng from all the steam and it made her even look naturally prettier . The maids had long gone to notify their masters to begin their breakfast . Mi Rong was busy setting up the table and carrying the bowl of herbal soup to the table . Since she was given a duty to take care of another person, she would do her best . She didn't have anything else before the auction to do anyway .

Jun Kai who had just arrived with Qing Qing was watching as Mi Rong was helping everyone set the table . The house felt so different with her here . He was watching her as she was genuinely smiling at with grandma Feng . A smile that he had never seen from her when she was with him .

Qing Qing who had been walking with her father and had just stopped in front of their dining room was wondering what her father was thinking . She looked up and saw her father looking at her Rong jie and some thoughts came to her mind . Keke, her father is a bit unusual . She tugged her hands in her papa's and said "Pa, let's go before the food is all cold . Great-grandma and Rong jie are all waiting to eat with us . "

"Huh? Oh, let's go . " Qing Qing was pulling her father's hand from behind her to the table .

"Sorry grandmother for making you wait . "

"It's no problem Jun Kai . Come come sit down . "

"How are you feeling great-grandma? Better?"

"Oh yes, much better . Hmm, this soup is very delicious indeed . Thank you Mi Rong . "

Mi Rong only simply replied, "I only hope that you would feel better from eating it . " She had made these dishes a hundred times with her mother and was long used to cooking .

Jun Kai hearing his grandma's compliment was surprised as his grandmother was not easy to please, especially with cooking . Since his grandmother was one of the best cooks as well . He then decided to give a try and when he took a sip of the soup, it was indeed delicious . It was different from all the soups he had tried before .

Grandma Feng took a glance at her grandson, even though he did not say anything, but she knew that the soup was indeed to his taste, "There's a saying happy wife happy life, let's just say good food good life as well . "

Jun Kai coughed with the soup inside his mouth and had to drink some water to take the soup down his throat . What was his grandma thinking?

"The food is very good indeed great-grandma . " Qing Qing added . It was Mi Rong's turn to take a sip of her water . These two duos, they shouldn't be with each other .
