Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 322

Sheng Fei smiled awkwardly and explained to Lu Ting that she was looking for Lu Sanya and had been kept behind by the teacher. Lu Ting listened to her words and nodded. Unexpectedly, it was Sheng Fei who was cooking today. After letting the five children play by themselves, she quietly walked up behind Lu Ting.

Seeing Lu Ting seriously cooking with a focused expression, she thought a diligent man was indeed very handsome.

As she observed their interaction, Sheng Fei felt a strange emotion welling up inside her.

Actually, if Lu Ting were someone else’s husband, he would certainly fit the role well.

Lu Ting was a responsible man, handsome, honest-looking, and appeared gentle and kind. Sheng Fei thought it would be quite nice to have a man like him cooking for her every day.

But why is Lu Ting’s cooking skills seems to be good compared to previous times?

In the past, he had been clumsy in the kitchen, but today, while he was making sweet and sour ribs, everything seemed to flow smoothly. He handled the oyster sauce, vinegar, and spices effortlessly, as if he had done it countless times before.

Sheng Fei suspected he had secretly learned how to cook, so she walked over to Lu Ting and asked.

“Is this the dish you’re making today? Are you planning to cook sweet and sour pork ribs? But why does it look so different from what you made before?

Your previous dishes were either too blackened or overcooked with too much salt, but today, everything seems perfectly done.

Since you’re so good at cooking now, what happened? And why are you cooking today?”

Household chores should originally be shared between them. After all, even though they were a couple (TL: acting husband and wife for the children), it shouldn’t all fall on the woman to cook.

Lu Ting also needed to eat and should also contribute to cooking. However, seeing how skillfully he was handling everything today, Sheng Fei chose to remain silent and let him continue.

When Lu Ting heard her question, he simply smiled.

“Usually my cooking isn’t very good, and the kids prefer your meals, so naturally it’s you who cooks. But today, did you forget? It’s your birthday, so of course I’m the one cooking. Besides, cooking is quite simple. Just learn a couple of times and you’ll get the hang of it.”

Hearing Lu Ting say it was that easy made Sheng Fei suspect there was more to it, so she looked at Lu Ting and quietly moved closer.

As Lu Ting continued cooking, Sheng Fei casually wiped the sweat off his forehead.

After Sheng Fei finished wiping, both of them were momentarily stunned.

Lu Ting didn’t expect Sheng Fei to help him wipe his sweat, and Sheng Fei was surprised at her own action.

However, Lu Ting had been sweating quite a bit. Sheng Fei smiled awkwardly before returning to her room.

Sheng Fei first changed her clothes and went to the riverbank to fetch a basin of water.

When she saw that Lu Ting had already finished cooking, she noticed he had prepared all the dishes, so she helped carry them to the round table in the yard.

They fell into silence, but despite not speaking, the atmosphere was warm and relaxed rather than awkward.

“I’ll serve the dishes, you focus on cooking!”

“No need, you don’t have to work today. Just sit there and rest.”

“I can’t just sit around. I’m the type who likes to worry about things. I can’t just sit here and wait for the meal to be served.”
