They had already been living here for three days. Every breakfast had been bought outside, while dinner was prepared by the household chef and delivered over. Su Chen had never cooked before~
Su Chen actually did not have much confidence in his cooking skills, but food for little babies was not complicated. He figured he could look up some tutorials online when the time came, and it should not be hard to learn.
Of course, food for his own children tasted better when their father made it himself!
Su Chen realized that he was enjoying being a father more and more~
He wanted to learn to cook and make Tuantuan and Lele lots of delicious food~
There were ingredients in the refrigerator at home, so Su Chen took the two children straight back.
Lele seemed a little worried, so he followed Su Chen into the kitchen. The moment they stepped inside, the system's voice rang out in Su Chen's head.
"Ding... Detected that the host is about to cook for the babies. First kitchen check-in with the adorable babies successful. Reward: God of Cookery Skill."
Bingo!
The system was amazing!
He did not need to learn how to cook anymore. With the God of Cookery Skill, satisfying the babies' appetites would be a piece of cake!
Su Chen activated the skill. In the time it took to open the refrigerator, he could already feel the changes in his body.
Looking at the ingredients before him, his mind instantly became a precise, advanced machine, producing dozens of meal combinations tailored to the contents of the refrigerator.
There were even thoughtful reminders about which dishes were suitable for three-year-old children.
Su Chen thought for a moment and made up his mind.
Three-year-olds could not handle heavily seasoned food, and they definitely preferred sweeter flavors.
Su Chen planned to make sweet-and-sour pork ribs, along with cola chicken wings that both little ones loved. For vegetables, he would make assorted shrimp, pine nut corn, garlic broccoli, and lightly salted choy sum. Finally, he would add West Lake beef soup. Meat and vegetables balanced together, with perfectly rounded nutrition~
There were three people eating, including two children, so Su Chen did not prepare large portions of any dish. It was best to finish everything in one meal. Leftovers would have to be thrown away, since reheated dishes contained nitrites that were bad for the babies' health.
With the God of Cookery Skill, the moment Su Chen picked up the spatula, he felt like an artist holding a pencil or a Martial Artist gripping a sword. The wok and spatula worked in perfect harmony in his hands, and adding oil, salt, and seasonings came as naturally as breathing.
Lele watched for a while. Seeing that Su Chen clearly knew what he was doing and that he could not be of much help, he went out to wait for dinner with his sister.
When dinner was served, Tuantuan and Lele sat in their dining chairs. Looking at the fragrant dishes before them, both were so surprised that their mouths fell open.
"Wow~ Daddy made so many delicious things~ There are big wings! They're Tuantuan's favorite!"
The little girl immediately grabbed a cola chicken wing. After struggling with Chopsticks for quite a while and finding them too troublesome, she simply used her hands.
"So fragrant and so yummy~ Daddy made it so well!"
"The soup is super delicious too~ Daddy, you're amazing!"
"It's even better than what the aunties at home make!"
Listening to his sister's exaggerated praise, Lele did not really believe her.
Mom said the aunties at home were professional cooks. How could Dad possibly cook better than them?
Tuantuan must have liked Dad too much and was just bragging!
Lele picked up his Chopsticks as well, intending to taste it for himself.
He picked up a shrimp and elegantly placed it in his mouth. He had planned to savor it carefully, but the moment the shrimp entered his mouth, its delicious flavor spread across his taste buds.
Fresh, tender, and smooth—this was way too delicious!
Lele's eyes lit up, and Su Chen took in every bit of it.
Although his son did not praise his cooking, the fact that he ate two huge bowls of rice was already the greatest approval he could give!
The God of Cookery Skill had clearly conquered the two little ones' stomachs~
It was already past eight in the evening. Tuantuan and Lele had finished bathing, but Yan Bingxue still had not returned.
Both children were a little disappointed. They sat in the living room playing, glancing toward the door from time to time.
Su Chen knew that the children had grown up with Yan Bingxue. During the day, they were fine, but if they could not see her at night, they would definitely feel upset.
However, Yan Bingxue had said she would be back late tonight, so Su Chen did not bring it up. He stayed in the living room and played with them for a while before taking care of them as they got ready to sleep.
Tuantuan lay in Su Chen's arms, her usually nonstop little mouth slightly pursed.
Su Chen's heart ached at the sight. He held his daughter and kept soothing her until she fell asleep in his arms, then carried her back to bed.
Lele was a boy, and he was not used to being held by Su Chen, so he lay down by himself early on.
But even after Tuantuan fell asleep, he was still awake, feeling somewhat downcast.
Su Chen tucked his daughter's blanket around her, then stood up. After thinking for a moment, he reached out and gently patted Lele's head.
The little boy immediately opened his eyes and looked at him like a startled fawn.
Su Chen smiled gently and whispered, "Lele, Mom will come back later after she finishes work. Go to sleep early, and you'll definitely see Mama tomorrow morning, okay?"
Lele looked at Su Chen, and the unease in his heart suddenly vanished. He nodded and gently closed his eyes.
Only after both children had fallen asleep did Su Chen turn off the lights and leave.
Yangcheng.
In the conference room, Yan Bingxue did not look well. Every so often, she glanced at the time on her watch.
It was too late. Today's incident had happened suddenly, and this meeting had been even more abrupt. The department heads had spent hours passing the blame around, yet they had not come up with a single useful solution.
If this dragged on any longer, she would probably not get home until midnight!
Thinking of the ten o'clock time she had told Su Chen, Yan Bingxue felt irritated.
She looked at the department heads below, who were still arguing fiercely, and suddenly said sternly, "I did not pay you to sit here passing the blame around whenever something goes wrong!"
"As for who is at fault in today's matter, we can discuss that afterward. Right now, I'm giving you half an hour to come up with a solution immediately. If you can't, then all of you can get the hell out and go home!"
The moment the beautiful president lost her temper, the department heads below immediately fell silent.
No one argued anymore. Everyone seriously began thinking of solutions, while some lowered their voices to make phone calls.
Half an hour later, everyone had presented a proposal. After reviewing them, Yan Bingxue selected the best one, made further revisions, and ended the meeting.
She did not linger for even a moment. She rose directly and walked out of the conference room, her steps somewhat hurried.
The moment she left, a collective sigh of relief sounded in the conference room.
Someone asked quietly, "What's going on? Why was President Yan so angry today? She was in such a rush—could something have happened at headquarters?"
"Yeah, our issue isn't that serious. Logically, President Yan shouldn't have gotten this angry... President Yan is usually cold and aloof, but she's always patient when it comes to work. Why was she in such a hurry today..."
Yan Bingxue glanced at her watch in the elevator. She was already half an hour behind the time she had expected.
If she went back according to the original plan, she definitely would not make it home by ten.
She did not want to break her promise, nor did she want Su Chen to wait for her.
"Assistant Zhang, arrange a helicopter immediately. I need to arrive at the airport according to the original schedule."
A few minutes later, a helicopter suddenly roared past the rooftop of the Yangcheng Chaofan Group branch, instantly drawing a crowd of onlookers.
"Oh my god~ President Yan actually called in a helicopter? Is she really in that much of a hurry~"
