Chapter 21 - Breakfast
Chapter 21 - Breakfast
After getting ready, Xie Ming went downstairs to make breakfast for him.
She went to the kitchen and seeing her in there the kitchen staff were startled to see her there because before she never came to the kitchen even to take a glass of water herself.
She was the brat princess who never came to the kitchen even once.
In the kitchen, chefs were preparing to make Liwei's breakfast. Liwei has always lived his life in grandeur.
He has hired a top-notch chef to cook his meals. He is very picky about his food, and it's very hard to match his taste.
The kitchen staff and the chef who was preparing to make Liwei's breakfast looked at Xie Ming.
" Miss, do you need anything or do you have any special requirements for breakfast?" a girl in white uniform with black apron came in front of her.
She was one of the members of the kitchen staff.
" No. I just came here because I want to prepare today's breakfast. So you all can go and rest." she said with a polite smile.
Hearing her words, all the staff and the chef who was in charge frowned as he looked at Xie Ming questioningly.
He looked up at her and asked with a doubt obvious in his eyes, " You will cook today's breakfast? Miss, it will be better if you let us make breakfast. If there will be any problem then Master will scold us and not you." he said while trying to be polite.
But Xie Ming could see that he was clearly looking down on her.
Even top-notch chefs have faced his wrath when their food does not match his taste. So when she said that she is going to cook they got scared.
If she doesn't cook well, they have to face consequences. Moreover, she can't cook better than a renowned chef.
Butler and Yu mei also approached her and said, " Miss, the chef is right. You should go and rest. Let them do their work."
" It's my house. I have every right to come to the kitchen and cook. And if anything happens, I will take all the blame. Now all of you please leave. I don't like people in my kitchen while working." Xie Ming was slightly annoyed because they were not letting her cook.
For her cooking is a way to relieve her stress. She felt happy when she cooked for others.
She felt irritated when they were trying to send her out of the kitchen.
She was the Young Mistress of this house yet they were not allowing her to make breakfast herself.
' Can't she do things that she wants?'
In the end, everyone left the kitchen reluctantly.
Butler turned to look at her and shook his head,' She never entered the kitchen before, now she wants to cook? I don't know what calamity will come today? 'he sighed.
Xie Ming looked around and wore the apron that was placed on the counter.
She took a pan and placed it on the stove to let it heat while she broke four eggs in a bowl, whisk them and added some seasoning to it.
She was making egg rolls, noodles, stir fried veggies, and one meat dish.
After making egg rolls, she started making other dishes as well. She was making various dishes at the same time.
In her past life, even though she was the empress,? she was used to cooking for her Mother-in-law.
Though her mother in law doesn't like her however she always loved her cooking.
Zhao Ming also loves to cook the dishes for her and always wondered that one day she may win the favor of her mother in law but it never happened.
She always treated her like a servant and pampered Xiao Li who never even gave her a cup of tea.
After making dishes, she went to the dining room to place dishes on the table when Liwei came downstairs dressed in a casual white color shirt paired black trousers.
His sleeves were rolled up revealing his veins which were making him more attractive and sexy.
While placing the dishes on the table, she saw him coming towards her.
She stared at him who was looking enchantingly handsome and ethereal. She looked at him with her mouth slightly opened in daze.
When he saw her reaction, he was impressed with it, he chuckled and went to her.
He took the plate from her hands and placed it on the table and asked, " do you like it?"
She came out of her slumber, and asked in a startle, " What?"
He replied cheekily, " ME."
He said while looking at her deep orbit eyes as he moved closer to her reducing the distance between them.
She glared at him while her face turned red from his blunt remark.
She turned her head and moved away from him and said, " stop talking nonsense. Now sit and eat".
She sat on the chair while he also sat beside her. He looked at this sumptuous meal and asked in surprise," You made all of this?".
The dishes were all authentic Chinese dishes and he always eats western breakfast. But he doesn't mind eating it if she had made it.
However, it was too beautiful to eat.
He looked at the dishes placed on the table with an impressed and surprised expression.
Even the butler, Yu mei and the other kitchen staff was also shocked seeing her dishes.
They never thought that she could cook so well.
When Xie Ming looked at his expression she felt satisfied with it and said, " Of course".
A smile appeared on her face seeing his shocked expression.
She has confidence in her cooking, especially the meal that she has made.
There were a few dishes that she has invented herself and only she knows the secret recipe of this dish.
Today she made only simple dishes but they taste good and fit for breakfast.
Liwei picked his chopsticks and tried the egg rolls first as they were the safest choice.
Though the dishes looked beautiful, he was worried as well about its taste. When he tasted the egg roll, he raised his brows in surprise.
The egg roll was well made and was tender and well seasoned. However, it was easy to cook egg rolls.
Next, he looked at the soup from the noodles and picked his spoon to taste it.
When he drank the soup, his eyes widened in surprise as he looked at her and asked, " What is this? It's so amazing. I never had a soup like this in my life." he exclaimed in excitement.
He never knew that Xie Ming was so amazing in cooking. If he had known before then he wouldn't have needed these chefs to cook his meals.
His wife was herself so good, so why does he need those chefs?
Xie Ming looked at him and smiled lightly. " It's chicken soup noodles. "
" I thought it would be better to eat for breakfast as it will give you the energy to hold on for the day as you must have to do a lot of work in the office," she said while placing a piece of meat on his plate.
" Try this one too."
….
Liwei ate the breakfast happily and was satisfied with her cooking.
" Butler Kang, there is more food in the kitchen. You all can eat it as well." Xie Ming looked at the butler and asked him to eat with others.
Butler Kang looked at her in surprise and rejected politely, " It's okay, Madam. We're fine."
He was feeling uncomfortable because this was the same Xie Ming who always talked rudely to them in the past, and now she has become so polite all of sudden.
" It's okay. You can go." Liwei waved his hand while wiping his mouth with a napkin.
Butler Kang smiled and bowed politely as he left the dining area.
