Chapter 205 - 206 Grandma Arrives (3)
After Lou Xi said this to the matriarch, she immediately went to the kitchen to cook, only by keeping herself busy with something else, could Lou Xi stop herself from overthinking.
Not long after, Qin Mobai returned. Lou Xi in the kitchen didn’t know what they talked about. She thought about sneaking to the door to eavesdrop, but felt it was disrespectful, so even though she wanted to listen, she just stayed in the kitchen cooking.
She didn’t know how much time had passed; anyway, her mind wasn’t on cooking. She just washed and cut the vegetables without putting them in the pot, then Qin Mobai entered the kitchen.
"Grandma said you’re cooking." Qin Mobai seemed to be in a good mood, but what could be the reason for this good mood?
Lou Xi looked at Qin Mobai nervously, "Your grandma said she wants to live here. She never liked me before. I’m afraid there will be more conflicts in the future."
Lou Xi didn’t want to make Qin Mobai uncomfortable being caught in the middle, so the best solution would be for them not to live together!
However, Qin Mobai said, "Then let her change her perception of you. Grandma is not an unreasonable person. Her willingness to live here shows that she wants to connect with you. You just need to show your most lovely and invincible side to win her over."
There’s nothing wrong with saying it like that, but Lou Xi still felt scared.
However, seeing that Qin Mobai seemed to really hope for the relationship between her and the matriarch to improve, if she stubbornly refused to live with the matriarch, then it would be as if she intentionally wanted Qin Mobai’s relationship with his family to worsen.
But Lou Xi didn’t have such thoughts. She hoped Young Master Qin could handle the relationship between her and the family well, at least so that in the future, when they met, the family wouldn’t see her as a femme fatale.
"Then I... will try to get along with Grandma." Lou Xi nodded, "I’ll work hard to make Grandma like me."
Qin Mobai looked at the confident Lou Xi, this was the Lou Xi he always knew she should be.
"Don’t worry, Grandma is just a paper tiger, tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Once you get to know her, she’ll see your goodness, and who knows, maybe she will even favor only you."
Favor only her?
She didn’t dare to hope that the matriarch would favor her only, just not giving her a hard time would already be very good!
"I understand, then I’ll start preparing dinner, you wait outside." Lou Xi wanted to push Qin Mobai out, this man who could burn down the kitchen just by entering simply couldn’t stay in the kitchen.
"Let the people who came with Grandma take care of cooking. You don’t need to do it." Qin Mobai couldn’t bear to see Lou Xi having to cook after her classes, it would make his heart ache.
"No, I promised Grandma I would cook dinner for her, how can I go back on my word?" Lou Xi said with particular righteousness.
Qin Mobai laughed softly, recalling how earlier when the matriarch mentioned Lou Xi cooking in the kitchen, there was a look of surprise in her eyes, maybe Lou Xi cooking added quite a bit of points for her.
He thought about it and decided to let Lou Xi do it. If she could indeed win over the matriarch with her cooking, it would be worthwhile.
An hour later, Lou Xi finished making three dishes and a soup, and brought them from the kitchen to place on the dining table.
The matriarch was sitting on the sofa watching TV when she suddenly smelled the aroma of the food, and involuntarily turned her head to glance towards the dining room. Although she couldn’t see what was on the table, it smelled really good.
Lou Xi glanced towards the matriarch, seeing her maintain a restrained composure on her face.
