The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 927 - 332: Madam’s Noon Flight Departing An City (Part 2)

After all, her hostility towards Zuo Yuqing had accumulated over the years.

Lu Jingchen wasn’t too surprised by Zuo Yuqing’s arrival; he simply asked, "Why are you here at this time?"

Zuo Yuqing glanced at Li Man, her eyes quickly shifting away after a mere glance. With a faint smile on her face, she walked into the hospital room in high heels, explaining as she moved, "I just finished an announcement and came straight over. I didn’t know if someone brought you lunch, but it seems like what I brought might be a bit redundant."

It was only then that Li Man noticed Zuo Yuqing holding a bag, which seemed to contain a thermos. Her heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively looked at Lu Jingchen, afraid he might suddenly decide to eat what Zuo Yuqing brought.

If that happened, it would be like a slap in the face, truly embarrassing...

However, Lu Jingchen didn’t immediately say whose food he wanted to eat. He just casually asked, "What did you bring?"

Zuo Yuqing placed the thermos on the table on the other side of the hospital bed, grinned, and said, "Seafood porridge. I remember you used to like it. Maybe it’s different from what Miss Li made for lunch; mine was made at the studio. Although it was my assistant who added the seasonings, I did wash the rice, and I turned on the stove..."

As Zuo Yuqing spoke, she met Lu Jingchen’s slightly strange gaze and immediately became timid, saying, "Well, actually, my assistant also turned on the stove. I thought no one brought you lunch, so I volunteered. Why don’t you eat what Miss Li made?"

Zuo Yuqing couldn’t cook and had never been in the kitchen. Although she had a rough period in her life, after being taken back by her uncle and aunt to the Zuo Family, she was spoiled rotten and never had to cook.

Her uncle even exaggeratedly forbade her from entering the kitchen, saying it was full of smoke and grease... In reality, the kitchen had an exhaust hood, so it wasn’t that smoky.

After going abroad, despite living on her own at first, she tried cooking and almost set the kitchen on fire, so she relied on takeout ever since.

According to her assistant, her stepping into a kitchen is practically a disaster for it. Even if she doesn’t cause a disaster, whatever she makes probably wouldn’t be edible. So for simple seafood porridge, she had the assistant add seasoning, while she only washed the rice...

In her heart, Zuo Yuqing felt quite sad. Not being able to cook is truly disadvantageous. After tasting Song Qiao’s cooking, she wanted to give it a try herself. Later, when Song Qiao ran away from home and Lu Jingchen had a fever after saving her, she also wanted to cook a meal for him. But at that time, all she did was help Chen Ma in the kitchen, washing vegetables and passing oil and salt.

After all, she was not born with this particular skill.

Li Man, standing to the side, was a bit surprised and didn’t expect Zuo Yuqing to say that, but what surprised her more was that Zuo Yuqing couldn’t cook.

To her, there are very few women these days who can’t cook; even many men can. She knew Lu Jingchen could definitely cook, but she hadn’t had the chance to taste his cooking yet.

Strangely, Li Man felt she finally had something she could compete with Zuo Yuqing in, and that sense of pride filled her heart and started to show. She said to Lu Jingchen, "President Lu, why don’t you have mine instead? You know my mom runs a restaurant, and I learned my cooking skills from her. I wasn’t sure what you liked, so I made a few random dishes and cooked some chicken soup for you too."

As Li Man spoke, she started to open her thermos. There were several layers in her lunchbox, with rice at the bottom and dishes on top, and the other thermos contained the soup she specially prepared.

As soon as she opened the lid of the lunchbox, the aroma of the food filled the hospital room.

Zuo Yuqing glanced over and confirmed that those who could cook didn’t just have appealing food but also made it flavorful and fragrant.

Thinking about her own porridge... Zuo Yuqing fell silent.

At this moment, she silently decided that when she marries in the future, she must find someone who can cook; otherwise, they might end up starving together.

Assistant Xue quickly entered the room and saw a beauty standing on either side of his boss’s hospital bed, one of whom was Miss Zuo Yuqing, which scared him quite a bit. He was torn about whether to inform his boss about the matter concerning the president’s wife.

Zuo Yuqing was the first to notice Assistant Xue standing at the door. Her smile was as bright as ever, and she greeted him, "Assistant Xue, long time no see. Why have you chosen to visit your boss now too? You’re not here to bring lunch as well, are you?"

Assistant Xue, "...Miss Zuo, you’re joking. I have something to report to the president..."

The usually cold-looking man, with a hint of gloominess, remained expressionless. He parted his lips lightly to say three words, "What is it?"

Assistant Xue looked at Zuo Yuqing, then at Li Man. He originally intended to talk to the boss alone, but realizing time was running out, he nervously spoke up, "President, I just received word that the president’s wife... the wife is on a flight leaving for An City at twelve noon today..."
