Chapter 532: Chapter 530 I’m Willing_1

Lu Tingli was not looking at her, focused on the congee he was cooking, "Silver ear congee."

Upon hearing this, the host immediately understood.

Silver ear fungus is particularly difficult to stew, requiring several hours to reach a gel-like consistency, creating a thick and delicious congee.

"Why don’t you let the housekeeper do it?"

"I enjoy it."

The host was choked up again.

There was no way to continue the conversation today.

"Haha! The host has given up!"

"Lu Tingli is literally a conversation killer!"

"I can’t take it, I’m going to die of laughter!"

After tugging at the corner of his mouth, the host continued, "Then, Mr. Lu, we’ll head out and not disturb your cooking."

"Mhm." Lu Tingli nodded indifferently.

Audience—

"Lu Tingli: Sorry, my eyes see only congee, not the show crew!"

"All of you are just passing clouds; only congee matters most!"

"Lu: The show crew has finally left, this baby can finally focus on cooking congee!"

By the time the host came out of the kitchen, Xia Ningxing had already gotten up, washed up, and, with a smile to the camera and a "good morning," she entered the kitchen to help.

"Lu, let me help you make it," Xia Ningxing said as she was about to start.

"No need." Lu Tingli immediately stopped her, then frowned and led her to the sofa outside, "You just sit here and wait to eat."

Sir Lu chimed in, "Xingxing, why go into the kitchen? Let the kid handle it alone; come, come, play chess with grandfather!"

Xia Ningxing laughed helplessly and had no choice but to join Sir Lu in the chess game.

The audience was dumbfounded—

"I mean, Xia Ningxing is the real granddaughter, right?"

"I’m seriously starting to suspect Lu Tingli is adopted!"

"Sir Lu seems really dismissive of Lu Tingli! Like how a dad despises a son-in-law!"

"I think so too!"

"Am I the only one concerned about the chess game between Xia Ningxing and Sir Lu?"

"Hehe, can you imagine Xia Ningxing, the actress, actually playing chess?"

"I’ve heard that Sir Lu is the president of the Go club, and he has won countless awards, with exceptional skill in chess."

"So, are you saying, whether Xia Ningxing knows how to play or not, she’s going to be crushed?"

"Not necessarily, since they’re recording a show, and Sir Lu likes Xia Ningxing so much, he will definitely find a way to not let her lose face."

"Exactly, Sir Lu deliberately played to a draw for Xia Ningxing’s sake!"

At this moment, the camera gave a close-up of the chessboard, and the audience immediately saw a drawn game.

Everyone initially thought it was Sir Lu intentionally letting Xia Ningxing have her way.

But those who were deeply knowledgeable about Go couldn’t help but say, "This game is not about Sir Lu letting Baby Xing win; clearly, Baby Xing racked her brains and did everything possible to keep Sir Lu from losing. You can tell by the arrangement of the pieces..." Blah blah blah.

This person explained a lot.

"What does that mean?"

"Come on, you still don’t understand? Are you brain-dead? Simply put, Xia Ningxing forcefully played the game to a draw. Otherwise, Sir Lu would have undoubtedly lost!"

"That’s right, Baby Xing drew the game to take care of Sir Lu’s pride!"

"Xia Ningxing is too incredible, she actually managed to beat Sir Lu; I’m going to switch sides and become her fan."

Sir Lu stared at the chessboard and smiled helplessly at Xia Ningxing, "Xingxing, how come you let me win again? Victory and defeat are common in the game of chess. Next time, you’re not allowed to force a draw."

Audience: Wow! This is not the first time Xia Ningxing has beaten Sir Lu! Now they can’t even claim that she just lucked out this game.

Xia Ningxing smiled and replied deftly, "I won’t do it next time, Grandpa."

Sir Lu rolled his eyes at her, "Hah, you’ve said that how many times already!"

Xia Ningxing covered her lips to sneak a laugh and picked up her teacup, taking a sip.

"Drink less tea." At that moment, Lu Tingli came out holding a bowl of silver fungus soup, his brows furrowed as he gestured to her, "Come here, it’s time to eat."

His tone was gentle.

If one hadn’t seen it or experienced it for themselves, it would be hard to imagine a husband being so considerate and attentive.

Suddenly everyone understood why Xia Ningxing would choose to get married and have children during the prime of her career.

With a man like that, they would too!

"Coming!" Xia Ningxing responded with a smile, exchanging glances with him before she set down her teacup and joined Sir Lu at the dining table for the meal.

Looking at the silver fungus soup, Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but look towards Lu Tingli again and sincerely said, "Lu, you’ve worked hard!"

He had gotten up at four o’clock in the morning to prepare porridge for her.

"Xingxing, you don’t need to be so formal." Before Lu Tingli could speak, Sir Lu interjected.

Those who didn’t know might think he was the one who had made the porridge.

Xia Ningxing and Lu Tingli: "..."

"Indeed, there’s no need for formalities with me, eat up." Lu Tingli said as he got up and personally served Xia Ningxing a bowl.

The nanny then brought the rest of the dishes to the table.

It was clear to anyone with eyes that all the food on the table was suitable for a pregnant woman.

Needless to say, it was all prepared for Xia Ningxing.

As for Tao Tao, ever since she started recording the variety show, she had moved back to her and Lu Fan’s place to avoid being a third wheel.

After seeing this, the audience was almost turning into lemons with envy—

"Xia Ningxing is so lucky, isn’t she? Beautiful, talented, from a good background, and married well. At home, she’s loved by her parents and spoiled by her brother; at her in-laws’, she has so many people doting on her. She’s truly a winner in life!"

"I’m so envious of this charmed life!"

"Mom asked me what I want to be when I grow up, and I said, I want to be like Baby Xing!"

"Me too!"

After breakfast, Lu Tingli noticed some crumbs on Xia Ningxing’s lips and got up to wipe them off for her.

Xia Ningxing’s face flushed slightly, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Xia and others were also watching the live broadcast.

Seeing this scene, they all sighed in agreement that their Bao’er truly married the right person.

After finishing the meal, the host followed the rules of the program and said, "Next, we would like to invite Miss Xia Ningxing and Mr. Lu Tingli to join us in playing some small games."

Xia Ningxing sat on the sofa, her stunning face smiling, "No problem."

"I have no problem either," Lu Tingli also said.

The host continued, "Please sit a bit further apart from each other for now."

Xia Ningxing and Lu Tingli did as instructed, sitting opposite each other.

"The game is actually quite simple," the host went on. "It’s just to test your understanding of each other and to sprinkle some sugar for the audience."

As she spoke, she handed them each a whiteboard and explained:

"The rules are like this: I’ll ask questions, and you’ll write down your answers. Let’s see if your answers match!"

"Okay," both of them nodded.

Seeing they were ready, the host immediately said, "Now..."
