Chapter 73 Manager Ling Cooked Food
Xia Xiaoluo had a physical examination and she could leave the hospital. But she was weak, so she needed to have a good rest for one week.
Xia Xiaoluo didn’t mind, because it was good as long as she did not have to go to school. What was more, the doctor told her that she could eat tonic food instead of light porridge. Therefore, Xia Xiaoluo became happy again at once.
Ling Tianyi took Xia Xiaoluo home and looked after her as if Xia Xiaoluo was a princess. He Meishu sent her cook in the villa to Ling Tianyi’s apartment to cook tonic food for Xia Xiaoluo.
Xia Xiaoluo could play the computer, iPad and mobile phone as she liked.
Although Xia Xiaoluo kept on playing, Ling Tianyi didn’t disturb her or remind her of her homework.
“Hey, Xiaoluo, I have called you many times, but you never answered! I want to know what you are doing!” Xia Xiaoluo picked up the call from Dou Ya and she had to keep a distance from the phone because of Dou Ya’s loud voice.
“Nothing serious, I was a little injured and I will be well after a good rest at home. I will tell you in details at school.” Xia Xiaoluo didn’t tell Dou Ya about her marriage with Ling Tianyi, but she wanted to tell Dou Ya what had happened between Xia Jingru and her.
“What happened these days? I couldn’t get in touch with you since the BBS incident. You must tell me everything right now!” Dou Ya was worried about Xia Xiaoluo very much, but she couldn’t find Xia Xiaoluo. So she must ask her about the whole thing.
Not knowing what to do, Xia Xiaoluo had to tell Dou Ya that she had been injured by Xia Jingru. “Well, I have told you everything, but please keep it secret. It’s a shame that sisters fight with each other. Domestic shame shouldn’t be made public.”
“Xiaoluo, why? Have you forgotten how they drove you away? Your evil elder sister wanted to kill you, so why you still cared about the reputation of the Xia family? I am really speechless.” Dou Ya felt helpless.
“Stop talking about it if you don’t know what to say. I don’t want to hear anything about it, because it will make me sad, I want to forget it. By the way, Dou Ya, have you finished your military training? Did you join the Student Union?” Xia Xiaoluo began to change the topic.
“I started having lessons a long time ago. How awesome I am, so joining the Student Union was just a piece of cake for me! Well, when you are better, can you celebrate it for me?” Dou Ya said, and she hasn’t played with Xia Xiaoluo for a long time.
“I will return to school next week and I will meet you then.” Xia Xiaoluo said and she wanted to know the stories of the Student Union as well.
“Xiaoluo, I am free today, so how about visiting you soon? Xia Xiaoluo was nervous and she refused, “Sorry, I’m afraid that we can’t meet today…” Xia Xiaoluo couldn’t let Dou Ya know her marriage to Ling Tianyi at that moment.
“Why?” Dou Ya was a little confused.
“Nothing, it’s not so convenient. You know, it’s not proper for me to invite you here. I will invite you to dinner to celebrate together some other day.” Xia Xiaoluo answered.
Dou Ya has grown up together with Xia Xiaoluo, so she knew the Xia family well. In Dou Ya’s mind, it was due to Xia Xiaoluo’s evil family members who always troubled Xiao Xiaoluo, so she agreed. But obviously, Dou Ya misunderstood it.
“Well, have a good rest at home and I will wait for you at school. What’s more, keep your cellphone available in case I can find you.” Dou Ya told Xia Xiaoluo.
“OK, I will. And we can chat on QQ or play games together when you’re free.” Xia Xiaoluo felt that Ling Tianyi was not so strict with her since she was in the hospital. It was Ling Tianyi that turned on the computer for her to play before he went to the company.
“Well, just keep in touch with me!” They hung up after Dou Ya finished.
Xia Xiaoluo has been playing games for a while and she suddenly thought of that she did not show her gratitude to Luo Xixi who helped her a lot.
She sent a message to Luo Xixi by QQ, “Xixi, I have broken your sunglasses and hat, so I cannot return them to you. But I can return your money and recording pen. In order to compensate and show my gratitude, I will cook delicious food for you after I return to school next week. Tell me what you want to eat right now!”
Luo Xixi replied soon, “I am not picky, so anything except instant noodles will be OK.”
Xia Xiaoluo sent an icon of “OK”. Xia Xiaoluo thought that Luo Xixi was so easy to satisfy, but she must reward Luo Xixi well later. Xia Xiaoluo was good at cooking, so Luo Xixi liked whatever she cooked very much.
Thinking that she would not only invite Dou Ya to dinner but also Luo Xixi, Xia Xiaoluo intended to invite Dou Ya to her dormitory in Dwichen’s College, having dinner together with Luo Xixi. Maybe she could introduce Dou Ya to Luo Xixi as well. Xia Xiaoluo said to herself, “It’s a deal!”
So Xia Xiaoluo wrote some names of dishes that she planned to cook on a piece of A4 paper in order to prepare the food materials in advance.
The A4 paper was filled with names of dishes. Xia Xiaoluo thought that she could cook for Luo Xixi several times.
Xia Xiaoluo was tired from writing, so she lay on her stomach and went to sleep. Ling Tianyi returned exactly and he couldn’t help smiling when he saw the paper. Because he thought that Xia Xiaoluo would cook those dishes for him.
Ling Tianyi kissed the forehead of Xia Xiaoluo who was sleeping slightly. Suddenly he thought that Xia Xiaoluo always cooked for him or he would invite Xia Xiaoluo to eat in restaurants. But he has never cooked for his sweetheart on his own! Therefore, Ling Tianyi closed the door carefully and went to the market nearby.
Ling Tianyi went to the market wearing a formal suit from Italy. His momentum, appearance, and temperament were not harmonious with the market. So a large number of people looked at him curiously.
Ling Tianyi didn’t mind and picked up the food materials carefully. He paid for the price without bargaining and he just bought things with a hundred-Yuan bill, saying to the peddler, “Keep the change.”
All the peddlers regarded Ling Tianyi as a generous man who was willing to waste money and served him with enthusiasm. Ling Tianyi felt at ease and enjoyed it a lot.
Ling Tianyi bought some common vegetables and a black-bone chicken, planning to cook chicken soup for Xia Xiaoluo. Besides, he intended to cook by himself, without the help of the cook that He Meishu had sent here.
Ling Tianyi shouldn’t have gone to the market, and he left the market under the eyes of the peddlers. Ling Tianyi returned to the apartment with what he bought and told the cook immediately, “Go back and come again tomorrow morning.”
“But, what about the dinner…” Ling Tianyi interrupted him, “Leave it alone and I will deal with it.”
Knowing Ling Tianyi’s temper, the cook dared not to insist, so he left the apartment and went to his room in the villa to have a rest.
Looking at the kitchen and what he bought, Ling Tianyi felt dazed and didn’t know where to start.
“Wash the vegetables!” After thinking for a while, Ling Tianyi said as if he ordered himself.
“Bang!” A pot fell on the ground when he was washing the vegetables.
Xia Xiaoluo woke up because of the noise. Not knowing what had happened, she was afraid that someone has entered the house. She walked out carefully and went to the kitchen following the noise.
“Ah!” Ling Tianyi cried out due to the pain.
Xia Xiaoluo took Ling Tianyi’s hand hurriedly, and it was bleeding slowly. Xia Xiaoluo said anxiously, “Oh darling, how can you cut your hand? Stay here and I will get a band-aid for you!”
Xia Xiaoluo hurried to get the medical kit and rushed back. She cleaned the wound with gauze carefully, blew to it slightly and attached a pink cartoon band-aid to the wound finally.
Although Ling Tianyi cut his hand, he felt delighted as his sweetheart cared about him so much. He disliked those childish things, but he still smiled sincerely on seeing the cute band-aid.
“Daring, does it still hurt?” Xia Xiaoluo frowned and asked.
“Nothing, it’s OK.” Ling Tianyi smiled and answered because the sweetness in his heart has overwhelmed the pain in hand.
“Well, why did you go to the kitchen? Can you cook?” Xia Xiaoluo asked but Ling Tianyi said nothing. He could not cook, but he was shy to tell the truth.
Ling Tianyi kept silent and Xia Xiaoluo said to him, “Darling, you are tired, so go to have a rest! I will cook the dinner for you.”
“No, no, daring. You are a patient and go to have a rest now. I will look after you and cook for you by myself. Give me some time!” Ling Tianyi could not cook, but he was determined to cook for Xia Xiaoluo.
Xia Xiaoluo murmured, “But you are not good at cooking and you have already cut your hand. I don’t know what will happen if you continue.”
“Don’t worry. Your husband is not so vulnerable. Go to play and you can taste my dishes for the first time an hour later.” Ling Tianyi intended to drive Xia Xiaoluo away from the kitchen. And Xia Xiaoluo thought that his words were so funny.
“Daring, let me help you! I can peel garlics or do something else.” Xia Xiaoluo was worried about him, so she made excuses to keep an eye on him in case something serious happened.
However, Ling Tianyi didn’t permit and threw her out of the kitchen directly. He made up his mind to cook some dishes for her by himself without any help from others.
