Chapter 158 – Everyone is acting, except for me (3)
If she tells Lu Ting about Li Murou’s system, then the realist Mr. Lu will definitely send her to the mental hospital, right?
So, Lin Yueqi decided to bring this daughter and pair openly to eat here and reached an agreement with them. In the future, they have to bring her if they ever come to Swallow Canteen.
If you’re gonna eat, then enjoy the food together. If you’re gonna drink, then enjoy the wine together. The family has to be full and together.
QAQ.

Li Murou prepared steamed clay pot chicken for them.
The chicken is steamed in a ceramic pot and was mainly cooked with the steaming technique. This dish is good for nourishing qi and strengthening the stomach and spleen, so it was perfect as a family meal. Considering that they had a child with them, Li Murou had specifically chosen this dish for them.
This dish had high requirements for the chicken. It can’t be too thin or it’ll be dry, too fat and it’ll be tasteless. However, the steamed clay pot chicken that Li Murou makes uses a fat and plump chicken, yet it was very tasteful with a unique recipe. And, with her Gourmet Culinary Goddess System’s optimization, the dish became extremely delicious.
Li Murou personally brought the pot to the table and uncovered it for them.
Other than Lu Ting, the others were dumbfounded when they saw the food inside. Once the ceramic lid was lifted, it felt like all of them were hallucinating at the same time. There seemed to be an alluring shine emerging from the pot. In that instant, everyone seemed to be fascinated by that luster. After the visual amazement passed, the smell of the chicken entered their noses.
Everyone had been hungry to begin with, and with the smell attacking their noses, their stomachs all began rumbling with hunger.
Lin Yueqi had the experience of having the “Gourmet Culinary Goddess” system invade her senses, so this time, the impact she felt was clearly much less than last time. Compared to last time, this felt just like a small itch to scratch.
Last time, that extremely tempting three-way scent attack was irresistible for an ordinary person like her.
But this time, even though the food was fragrant, she could still endure the urge by gritting her teeth. But she knew that the food this time won’t cause her direct harm. At the very most, there would be alcohol in the soup that will make her drunk.
But since Lu Ting was immune to the “Gourmet Culinary Goddess” system, it wouldn’t do anything to him even if there was alcohol in there. Lu Ting had always been a very steady man. If they fell over drunk, he’ll definitely take care of them properly.
When she thought of this, Lin Yueqi happily began enjoying the food.
Lu Ting swept his eyes across the table. Something felt very wrong to him.
Tuantuan’s eyes were shining when she looked at the chicken. “Woah, Papa, look! This chicken is glowing!”
Jiang Mucheng scooped up a bit of the soup and her tastebuds were practically overtaken by the refreshing taste. She had never had such amazing food in her life and overflowed with emotion. “Sob sob sob sob…” Her brain was turning very quickly at the moment, and the food was so good that she couldn’t speak.
After taking a bite, Li Xing actually shed tears. He, the president of Jiachen Media, actually covered his mouth and howled. “This…This chicken that’s emitting the seven colors of the rainbow has the taste of my grandmother’s cooking!”
Lu Ting grew up with him. He knew how deeply Li Xing felt about his grandmother.
But just as he was about to dig in, he heard Lin Yueqi saying uncontrollably, “That’s too damn good…I’m just so spineless, sob sob sob…To think I actually tasted the noodles my aunt made me! I have to properly enjoy this super peerless amazing food. I have to savor it bite by bite.”
Though she said thus, Lin Yueqi’s mind was very sober. Even though the food was absolutely delicious, it wouldn’t make her lose herself like it did last time.
She knew very well that the food wouldn’t cause her direct harm this time, nor would it make her addicted as if she had been drugged. So, she went along with it and enjoyed the fruits of Li Murou’s labor, savoring this rare blessing for her tummy.
When he heard what they said, Lu Ting’s suspicions grew deeper.
He looked at the pot on the table but he couldn’t find anything special about it, much less any light or whatever coming out of it…He picked up his chopsticks and grabbed a piece of chicken, putting it in his mouth, and tasting it carefully.
