Chapter 91: Something to Tell Her
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“What do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you.”
“Anything’s fine.” After eating Meng Chuyuan’s Coca-cola chicken wings last time, Lu Qianling knew that her culinary skills were definitely not bad, so she could eat whatever Meng Chuyuan made later without worry.
“Then let me see what else is in the kitchen. I’ll make some for you.” Coincidentally, she was also a little hungry, so she would cook some for herself.
Meng Chuyuan got up and went to the kitchen. When she saw the noodles in the cabinet, she took them out. Then, she took some lettuce, a green onion, and two eggs from the fridge.
She filled a pot of water to boil and mixed the ingredients at the bottom of the soup. Then she fried the two eggs in a nearby pan and set them aside before washing the lettuce.
From the moment Meng Chuyuan fried the eggs, Lu Qianling had already appeared in the kitchen.
When Meng Chuyuan was cutting the onions, she turned to look at Lu Qianling and asked softly, “Do you eat onions?”
“I don’t eat white onions.”
“Alright, I’ll leave the green part for you.” After Meng Chuyuan cut the green onions, she specially separated the white part.
When the water was almost done boiling, Meng Chuyuan took a bowl of noodles and put it in to cook until it was soft. Finally, she placed the lettuce into the pot and cooked it. She poured the seasoning in and stirred it evenly. Then, she scooped the noodles out and placed them in a bowl.
Meng Chuyuan placed the eggs that she had just fried on the noodles, sprinkled some green onions on them, and brought them to Lu Qianling. “Be careful, it’s hot.”
Lu Qianling took the bowl of hot noodles with both hands. She couldn’t help but lower her head and take a sip of the soup. She said from the bottom of her heart, “It’s really good.”
The two of them carried their bowl of noodles to the dining table and sat opposite each other.
Lu Qianling was probably really hungry. The noodles that had just come out of the pot were indeed a little hot, but she could not hide her anxiousness.
“Eat slowly. No one is fighting with you.”
Lu Qianling chewed on a mouthful of noodles and said incoherently, “Little
Sister Meng, the noodles you cooked are too delicious.”
Hearing this familiar name, Meng Chuyuan frowned in confusion. She stared at
Lu Qianling and asked, “How do you know this name?”
“Have you forgotten?” Lu Qianling looked up at her and said, “You bought me a steam blindfold. There’s a buyer’s nickname on the logistics form.”
Meng Chuyuan:
That was because her grandmother had always called her “little sister” when she was still around. After her grandmother passed away, Meng Chuyuan never heard the word “little sister” again, so she changed all her nicknames to “little sister”, so it would feel like how her grandmother had never left her.
She had used this nickname for a long time because she had already let go of it in her heart. Now that she opened the various platform software, she no longer felt anything when she saw this.
However, she did not expect that when these three words came out of Lu Qianling’s mouth, it suddenly reminded her of her own grandmother.
Lu Qianling had almost finished half a bowl of noodles. When she looked up again, she saw that Meng Chuyuan had not eaten a single bite. She asked curiously, “Why aren’t you eating?”
“You shouldn’t call me little sister Meng.” Meng Chuyuan looked at her without changing his expression and said lightly, “I’m your sister-in-law after all. If you don’t want to call me sister-in-law, then call me sister.”
“Why can’t I? Little Sister Meng is so friendly.”
“…” Meng Chuyuan did not correct her.
After all, the story was too complicated and Lu Qianling did not know about it. How could she fault her?
Meng Chuyuan picked up her chopsticks and ate the noodles with her. “What time are you going to school tomorrow?”
“I have to be at school at seven-thirty, so I have to leave at six-thirty, but it’s okay to be a little late for morning reading.”
Sometimes, it was inevitable that they would encounter traffic jams or other situations. There was nothing they could do if they were late.
Meng Chuyuan nodded and asked, “Are there many day students in your class?”
When she asked this, Lu Qianling suddenly smiled. She looked at Meng
Chuyuan and even said proudly, “It’s just me. Can you believe it?”
The teachers in the school had advised her to consider staying on campus, including her family, but she was unwilling.
Moreover, the school’s beds were rather stiff. It was impossible for her to be treated specially just because she had special requests. It was impossible for them to find another empty dormitory for her to live in.
“I believe you.” Meng Chuyuan stopped and did not ask further. “Eat quickly.
After eating, wash up and sleep.”
The next day, Meng Chuyuan woke up at five o’clock.
After washing up, she went downstairs and went straight to the kitchen. She made a few sandwiches, fried dumplings, and boiled eggs.
“It smells so good.” When Lu Qianling came downstairs with her school bag, Meng Chuyuan heated up the milk.
Lu Qianling smelled the fragrance and came to the dining room. Looking at the table full of sumptuous breakfast, she subconsciously licked her lips.
Looking at Meng Chuyuan pouring milk, Lu Qianling asked curiously, “Did you make this breakfast?”
“Mm, don’t you have to go to school?” Meng Chuyuan poured a cup of hot milk and handed it to Lu Qianling. “Eat quickly. I’ll send you to school after you’re done.”
Lu Qianling pulled out a chair and sat down. After listening to Meng Chuyuan’s words, she revealed a surprised expression. “You’re sending me to school?”
She suddenly didn’t understand.
Why was Meng Chuyuan suddenly so nice to her?
Making breakfast for her and sending her to school?
Meng Chuyuan peeled an egg for her and stuffed it into her mouth. “Eat quickly. You won’t make it in time.”
Last night, she was thinking about how Lu Qianling had to head home after school everyday. She felt that it was a waste of time, going back and forth. Since Lu Qianling was unwilling to stay on campus, she would rent a house near the school for her. That way, it would be more convenient.
Meng Chuyuan spent the entire morning looking at houses outside. She felt that the environment there was not bad, so she included some houses in her list of potential candidates. She was waiting for Lu Qianling to bring her over to take a look when she had no classes.
When she returned to the Lu residence, Meng Chuyuan happened to bump into Madam Lu on the phone. However, she saw that Madam Lu didn’t seem to be in a good mood.
Meng Chuyuan did not mean to eavesdrop. It was because upon seeing that she had come in, Madam Lu did not deliberately avoid her and continued to talk on the phone. “I’m not going. I don’t know anything.”
Seeing that Madam Lu was a little agitated, Meng Chuyuan did not dare to disturb her. She changed her shoes and was about to go upstairs quietly when Madam Lu suddenly waved her hand, indicating for her to go over.
Meng Chuyuan walked over slowly with a puzzled look on her face.
After Meng Chuyuan walked over, Madam Lu said into the phone, “Your wife is back. If there’s anything, tell her.”
In the next second, Madam Lu had already handed the phone to Meng
Chuyuan.
Meng Chuyuan was stunned. She took the phone and said calmly, “Lu Qingye?” “It’s me.” His voice was low and steady, with a hint of cold gentleness.
Madam Lu sat at the side without saying a word. She looked a little unhappy.
Meng Chuyuan’s eyes were filled with confusion. She glanced at Madam Lu, then slowly sat down and asked softly, “What’s the matter?”
She had just returned and did not know what Lu Qingye had said to her mother. However, from Madam Lu’s behavior, she should have encountered something that made her unhappy.
After Meng Chuyuan sat down, she turned the phone on speaker mode and listened in together with Madam Lu..
