Chapter 1275: Chapter 1275: A Stroke of Genius

Watching Jian Dan disappear into the smoke again, the four children braved the risk of being smoked to death and followed her into the kitchen, pulling her out. "Mom, what are you doing? Even if you want to go in, at least wait until the smoke clears!" Jian Xiaokai used an adult tone.

"It’s just not knowing how to cook, is it really worth getting so upset? I don’t want to live in a family without parental care." Kuaikuai said with his arms crossed.

"Huh? Why?" Kuaikuai’s words got Jian Dan reacting, "Even if something really happened to me, it would still be a single-parent family, right? How could there be no parents then?"

"Do you think if something happened to you, dad would be in any state to look after us?"

"Uh~ hehe!"

"Mom, don’t worry, Qian Lele is so smart he must be able to help you!"

"Just yesterday you were there; you said no one else is allowed to help, only you can prepare by yourself." Kuaikuai threw a wet blanket.

"What should we do then? I don’t want to see mom like this anymore." Xiaoxin said, hugging Jian Dan’s arm.

"This is really a bit tough." Jian Xiaokai’s brow furrowed, feeling that this was even harder than managing a company.

"It’s already past 4 PM now, everyone must be hungry, right? I think when you’re hungry, your brain can’t function properly. You need to eat well to have the strength to keep thinking, right?" Jin spoke up.

"You’re right, I am a bit hungry; cooking is physically demanding after all!"

"So, what do you want to eat? I’ll prepare it!"

"Mom, with the kitchen like this, what can you possibly make? It will take a long time to clean up." Jian Xiaokai pointed to the kitchen behind him. Although the smoke had not completely dissipated, the inside was already vaguely visible, showing how severe the situation was.

Jian Dan slightly embarrassedly scratched her head, "Hehe, about that..."

"It’s okay, I’ll handle it!" Jin’s face also showed a bit of difficulty.

"What will we eat then?"

"Looks like we can only have hotpot now!" Qian Lele suggested a solution.

"What did you just say, Lele?" Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Jian Dan’s mind.

"What?"

"Repeat what you just said!"

"We can only have hotpot now!"

"That’s right! How did I not think of this from the very start?" Jian Dan’s face lit up with a big smile, "They asked me to prepare a meal, but they didn’t specify what, right?"

The four children also understood Jian Dan’s intention, smiling as well, "Yes! How did we not think of it earlier? If we had thought of it, Mom wouldn’t have gotten herself into such a mess!" Jian Xiaokai said.

"Exactly, and even turned the kitchen into this mess; it’s no small task to clean up! Mom’s got her work cut out for her." Kuaikuai coldly spoke.

Jian Dan looked at the now smokeless kitchen, which resembled a battlefield, feeling embarrassed as she looked towards Jin, "Jin, I’m sorry!"

"No worries, as long as the young lady wasn’t hurt, nothing else matters!"

"Jin, you are so kind, love you to death!" Jian Dan gave Jin a big bear hug.

"Alright, you guys go ahead and wait! I’ll go prepare the hotpot!"

"Jin, shall I help you?"

"Better not! The best help the young lady can offer is not to help!" Jin smiled and entered the kitchen.

"Hahaha~" The children laughed in unison after hearing Jin’s comment.

"You guys are laughing at me? I’m curious to see if you guys will be able to cook in the future, then it’ll be my turn to laugh, hmph!" Jian Dan childishly said.

"That day you probably won’t be able to see!" Jian Xiaokai said laughing.

"How so? Are you so sure that you guys will be able to cook great dishes in the future?"

"That’s not it, but... even if we can’t cook, you still won’t be able to laugh at us!"

"Why?"

"Because it’s your genes at work here! If you laugh at us, aren’t you just laughing at yourself?"

Left with no choice, Jian Dan decided not to respond further; arguing with so many clever little geniuses was definitely not a wise choice.
