As it turned out, Lu Xiaoxiao's cooking tasted quite good when she cooked normally. Still, her only task was the actual cooking at the end; she had ordered Ji Yunhuai to handle all the prep work beforehand. She had kept Young Master Ji, who rarely did any chores, running in circles, while she had taken it easy and enjoyed playing teacher.
Despite her verbal complaints, Lu Xiaoxiao did not actually care whether Ji Yunhuai learned how to cook.
He was the young master of a wealthy family. When would he normally ever get a chance to cook?
In fact, even Lu Xiaoxiao herself had found no opportunities to cook in the Lu Family home since entering the novel. Her cooking skills had come entirely from the real world.
Ji Yunhuai had volunteered to try this time simply as a way of showing that he cared. Lu Xiaoxiao appreciated the gesture, and nothing else really mattered.

Lu Xiaoxiao immediately realized that he still did not know she had happened to run into Ji Cheng. It made sense. While she and Ji Cheng were talking, Ji Yunhuai had probably been studying that plate of unbearably salty chicken wings. With the luxury apartment's excellent soundproofing, how would he have noticed anything outside unless he had deliberately listened for it?
But Lu Xiaoxiao did not tell Ji Yunhuai about her brief clash with Ji Cheng. It had hardly been pleasant, and it was relatively unimportant. She did not want to ruin tonight's cheerful, relaxed atmosphere by bringing it up, so she soon changed the subject and talked about her nerves over tomorrow's audition.
