Chapter 71: Chapter 71 Cooking Noodles

Xiao Kai glanced at the cleaner. “I guess it’s because he was infected by His Highness’s coldness, huh? You’re finally here. His Highness hasn’t eaten all day, so please go in and persuade him,” he said.

For some reason, Xiao Kai felt that Mu Lingyun might be effective in persuading him.

Mu Lingyun frowned slightly and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

“What are you doing? I told you to go and persuade His Highness, but why are you heading to the kitchen?” Xiao Kai asked with a frown.

“I’m going to make him a bowl of noodles.”

Yesterday, she felt great after eating the noodles made by Mrs. Mu. Perhaps His Highness might also feel a bit better after eating the noodles she made?

“You’re cooking noodles? Do you know how to? Will they be edible?” Xiao Kai expressed his doubts.

Mu Lingyun gave Xiao Kai a cold glance and didn’t say a word. Instead, she dialed the phone and carefully asked for the key points for cooking noodles.

Actually, she used to be able to cook.

But because she had lived so roughly, cooking noodles meant throwing them into a pot of water with some salt, oil, vinegar, and soy sauce, covering it, and boiling it for a few minutes before eating straight from the pot.

What did a full range of color, aroma, and flavor matter? They were all but empty clouds!

After being guided by Mrs. Mu, she roughly understood how it should be done.

She fussed around in the kitchen for half an hour and finally made two bowls of tomato and beef noodles, one large and the other very small.

The noodles, both in appearance and scent, were quite similar to those made by Mrs. Mu.

Xiao Kai was somewhat surprised to see Mu Lingyun’s finished product.

If he hadn’t watched her call Mrs. Mu personally, and listened as Mrs. Mu guided her step by step over the phone, he’d definitely not believe that this person was cooking noodles for the first time.

“Although they look fairly decent, you’re cooking noodles for the first time. Do you dare to serve them to His Highness?”

They smelled okay, actually, and he wanted to eat them. But Xiao Kai still threw cold water on Mu Lingyun’s efforts.

“Are you teaching me how to do things?” Mu Lingyun gave Xiao Kai a cold look and silently picked up her chopsticks to start eating the small bowl of noodles.

While the taste and texture weren’t as good as Mrs. Mu’s, they were definitely quite delicious.

The soup wasn’t as rich as Mrs. Mu’s, but it was also quite nice.

After finishing the small bowl, Mu Lingyun carried the large bowl of noodles and left.

After Mu Lingyun left, Xiao Kai immediately opened the pot she used to cook the noodles and stared at the leftover noodles and soup for a while. In the end, he grabbed a bowl, poured out some noodles and soup, and tried it.

After eating, he licked his lips.

Reluctantly, he admitted that Mu Lingyun’s first attempt at cooking noodles was rather tasty. Although the style was different, they could hold their own even against the Ji family’s master chef.

It was just a pity that there was so little left.

With no shame, he felt–he wanted more!

–

Mu Lingyun carried the noodles she made to the outside of Ji Luochen’s study and knocked on the door.

“Come in,” a cold voice responded from inside.

Ji Luochen’s voice was pleasant, but the coldness within was too clear; it was enough to chill someone to the bone.

She finally understood why the atmosphere in the Ji family was so heavy.

It turned out to be the doing of the Crown Prince himself.

She stepped inside and placed the bowl of noodles on the table.

When Ji Luochen saw that the visitor was Mu Lingyun, a flicker of warmth passed through his eyes, but he quickly returned to his indifferent expression.

“I’m not hungry, take it away,” he said indifferently.

Mu Lingyun’s eyes curved into a smile, “I heard that you hadn’t eaten all day, so I made you some noodles. Why don’t you give them a try? Even just a bite?”

As she spoke, Mu Lingyun picked up some noodles with her chopsticks and offered them to Ji Luochen.

Ji Luochen was slightly startled and then asked, “You mean, you made these?”

Mu Lingyun nodded in affirmation.
