Chapter 437: Chapter 437 Mooching a Meal

Shen Mianmian heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, as she wasn’t very skilled at cooking meat dishes and could only prepare simple stir-fried pork. Just moments ago she had been internally lamenting the difficulty, and to her surprise, He Nan was planning to cook himself.

The kitchen was indeed too crowded, and she always felt uncomfortable being so close to He Nan. Therefore, after hearing what He Nan had said, she felt as if she had received a special pardon and quickly exited the room.

Noticing her subtle movements, a dark shade flickered across He Nan’s eyes.

Shen Mianmian went to the living room and stealthily patted her own burning cheeks. It really was too hot to have so many people crammed into the kitchen during the summer.

Her cheeks were uncontrollably heating up.

Catching a glimpse of him busying himself in the kitchen, Shen Mianmian couldn’t help but marvel once more. He Nan was truly outstanding, not only capable but also able to cook, without any trace of male chauvinism.

Such a man was rarer than pandas in this era.

He Nan worked efficiently, and before long, he had cleaned the vegetables and fish neatly and methodically.

Shen Mianmian entered to fry the vegetables, while he chopped meat on the side. This was the first time someone was in the kitchen helping her while she cooked, making her somewhat uneasy.

In her past life, no matter how many guests they had at the house, she was always the one cooking alone, facing scolding if the cooking was too slow. Now not only did she have help, but the helper was He Nan himself.

In her past life, she never even dared to dream of such a thing.

Shen Mianmian cooked a plate of green vegetables and made a dish of stir-fried hot peppers, the delicious smell lingering throughout the kitchen. A layer of sweat had formed on her forehead, and He Nan carried the dishes to the dining table.

Seeing her dripping with sweat, his brow raised slightly, "The meat dishes will take a bit longer, the living room is cooler, go watch TV for a while."

"Okay."

Shen Mianmian felt unable to help and didn’t know what else to do for him. She simply stopped circling around him, as the kitchen was too cramped and she felt very uncomfortable staying in there.

She was just about to sit on the sofa for a while when the doorbell rang. Shen Mianmian opened the door to find Li Yue and Ruan Yiyang squeezing hastily into the house.

Li Yue inhaled deeply several times, asking cheerfully, "It smells great, Mianmian, what delicious food have you cooked this time?"

Before Shen Mianmian could reply, he and Ruan Yiyang ran to the dining table and unsurprisingly saw He Nan busying himself in the kitchen. Ruan Yiyang cried out in shock as if he had seen a ghost.

"Nan, you’re actually cooking?"

Born with a silver spoon, how could Nan be cooking?

Li Yue, however, was quite merry, "Yiyang, we’re in for a treat today."

Nan’s cooking skills were top-notch.

Observing their reactions, Shen Mianmian realized they had come over today just to mooch a meal, assuming she would be cooking, not expecting it to be He Nan.

And He Nan probably guessed that the two would come over for a free meal, which is why he had bought so much food.

Shen Mianmian sighed inwardly, He Nan was simply too clever. It was best not to play any tricks in front of him, or else one might easily become a laughingstock.

Under Li Yue and Ruan Yiyang’s incredulous gazes, He Nan cooked three meat dishes: braised pork, spicy chicken, and boiled fish.

It had to be said, his cooking was indeed excellent. Just by the appearance alone, it was comparable to a restaurant chef’s.

He was like a character straight out of a novel, too perfect.

Ruan Yiyang and Li Yue also swallowed a large gulp of saliva, eagerly picking up chopsticks and bowls, as if glued to their seats by super glue, settling down at the dining table, waiting for the meal.

Clearly, He Nan was the alpha of the three. If he didn’t start eating, the others didn’t dare to make a move.
