return of the king

"Knock knock..."

"Come in!"

"It's you!" Seeing Zhou Lixi who came in, Duan Li exclaimed in surprise.

Zhou Lixi closed the door, leaned back, and leaned against the closed door.

"The housekeeper called me just now." The housekeeper he was talking about was naturally the housekeeper of the Zhou family.

"Cut, it's none of my business!" Duan Li said disdainfully.

"Then I'm going out." Since it's none of your business, then I'm going out.

That's what Zhou Lixi meant, and he really opened the door, as if he was about to leave.

"Wait!" Duan Li called to stop him.

"Do you want to hear it?"

Holding the doorknob in his hand, Zhou Lixi stepped into the room with one foot and stepped outside with the other. It seemed that as long as Duan Li answered that she didn't want to hear it, he would leave.

After all, she still couldn't suppress the curiosity in her heart and asked, "What did he tell you?"

If Duan Li is willing to admit that she wants to hear it, then Zhou Lixi will say it.

He walked into the room and closed the door again.

"The housekeeper told me that Zhou Yingli learned how to cook from the chef today, and it took several hours to learn. According to several cooks in the family, Zhou Yingli asked them to write down your favorite dishes and planned to make them for you. eat."

"Who cares!"

Even though he said that, Duan Li couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

"But..." Zhou Yingli deliberately kept it secret.

"But what?" Knowing that Zhou Lixi wanted her to show concern for Zhou Yingli on purpose, she still had to admit her thoughts according to his plan.

"However, it is said that he studied in the kitchen for several hours today, learning how to stir-fry vegetables, and failed again and again, and the vegetables he cooked in the end were still hard to swallow."

Said, Zhou Lixi also raised the corners of his mouth and smiled this time.

But now it was Duan Li's turn to stop laughing.

"What did you say?"

"You heard it clearly, didn't you?" Zhou Lixi asked back.

Duan Li: "..."

Seeing Duan Li's devastated face, Zhou Lixi deliberately exposed her scars.

"As you heard, Zhou Yingli learned how to stir-fry green vegetables for several hours, but the result is still unpalatable. It is said that the taste is not even half of yours. I guess he is useless in cooking, and you should give up as soon as possible. .”

After the butler told him these words, Zhou Mingren also said a few words to him.

What Zhou Mingren meant was to let him tell Duan Li what the butler said, so that Duan Li would know that no matter how much Zhou Yingli learned to cook, he would not get better.

Zhou Mingren and the housekeeper wanted him to tell Duan Li these things because they wanted her to give up on Zhou Yingli's cooking skills, and hoped that she would not make things difficult for Zhou Yingli, because it was impossible for Zhou Yingli to satisfy her.

They are betting that if Duan Li still has feelings for Zhou Yingli, she will give up letting Zhou Yingli learn to cook.If Duan Li has no feelings for Zhou Yingli, then no matter whether Zhou Yingli has learned well or not, she will not come back.

Obviously, they bet right.

Duan Li came back to her senses and asked, "How is your learning to cook?"

"Dafu likes to eat chicken. The first dish I made was wine-flavored chicken. It was a success the first time, and it tasted good." Don't think that Zhou Lixi is flattering himself, he is telling the truth.

And he said it tastes good, which means it tastes better than those made by Dafu and Duan Li.

"What happened later?" Duan Li kept asking.

"Later, most of the dishes I cooked were I checked the recipes on the Internet or bought the recipes, and made them by myself according to the above. Don't get hopeful, I can learn it quickly, and I have never fried the ingredients. But It is said that your 'smart' husband wasted several baskets of vegetables, some spilled out of the pot, some were burnt."

When Zhou Lixi answered Duan Li's question, he did not forget to emphasize that Zhou Yingli's situation was compared with his.

"..." Duan Li's face became more ferocious the more she heard it.

Her face was extremely ugly now, as if she was about to go crazy.

"I've said all I have to say."

With that said, Zhou Lixi opened the door and left, but Duan Li didn't stop her anymore.

When Zhou Lixi closed the door, Duan Li kneaded the pillow in her hands vigorously to vent her anger.

"This idiot, idiot, idiot!" Duan Li scolded angrily.

The person she scolded was of course Zhou Yingli, who was extremely talented in cooking!

She couldn't figure it out, he was as capable as Li Xi, why Li Xi could practice cooking so well, but he was so stupid.

Her cooking skills are so-so, Li Xi could make such delicious food, she thought it was inherited from Zhou Yingli, but Zhou Yingli was even worse than her.

In vain, she still expected to train Zhou Yingli to be a good man like Zhou Lixi, but she found that there was only one Zhou Lixi in this world, and it was impossible for her to teach Zhou Yingli to be Zhou Lixi, because it was impossible for Zhou Yingli to surpass Zhou Lixi in terms of cooking skills alone!

"Stupid!!"

This time Duan Li scolded not only Zhou Lixi, but also herself.

Zhou Yingli is an idiot if he doesn't study well, and she is also an idiot if she tries to train Zhou Yingli into Zhou Lixi.

Zhou Lixi, who was standing at the door and did not leave, raised the corner of his mouth when he heard Duan Li's angry scolding.

If Zhou Yingli can't do well, Duan Li has no excuse to forgive him.When the time comes, he will ask Duan Li to force Zhou Yingli to agree to their request to be together. If Zhou Yingli agrees that Duan Li has a reason to go home with him, it will be the best of both worlds!

Seeing Zhou Lixi who walked into the room with a smile in his eyes, almost narrowed into a line, Dafu asked, "Are you happy?"

Zhiri and Xinyu were playing on the bed just now, and now they are asleep, Dafu covers them with a quilt.

Zhou Lixi, who was originally in a happy mood, frowned: "You let them play on the bed again!"

"It'll be fine!"

"You let them sleep in our bed!"

Dafu couldn't figure out whether Zhou Lixi said this because he was afraid that the children would hurt him or because he was complaining that the children took his place.

As if knowing Dafu's thoughts, Zhou Lixi explained: "Their sleeping posture is so bad, and their heads and feet often turn around, which can easily hurt you and the baby!"

Dafu rolled his eyes and decided to ignore Zhou Lixi.

It is said that the sleeping posture of the two children is poor, and Zhou Lixi's "sleeping posture" is even worse!Always holding him so that he can't breathe, when he is awake, he keeps rubbing his abdomen, when he is asleep, those two hands are stroking his body randomly!

Zhou Lixi pretended not to see Dafu's glaring gaze, and he walked to the bed and pulled the quilt away.

"What do you want?" Dafu covered the two children with a quilt again.

"I took them to sleep with Mom."

"No!" Compared with Zhou Lixi, Dafu wanted to sleep with the two babies more.

Zhou Lixi called both Li Xiumei and Duan Li mother. Dafu didn't know which mother he was talking about this time, but he disagreed. He also suspected that Zhou Lixi didn't mind which mother the children threw to him.

"Hey, don't make trouble, I will come back and tell you what I was happy about just now."

"What were you happy about just now?"

Dafu didn't notice and asked Zhou Lixi to hug Zhiri.

He wanted to take Zhiri back, but he was afraid of waking Zhiri up.

"Hush~" Zhou Lixi signaled Dafu to be quiet.

Zhiri shook her long eyelashes a few times, pouted for a while, and soon fell asleep again in Zhou Lixi's arms.

Dafu gritted his teeth angrily, but he could only watch Zhou Lixi take Zhiri away.

Duan Li was angry, so Zhou Lixi took Zhiri to Li Xiumei's room.

Cao Dagui felt a headache when he saw him coming in with the baby in his arms, "Li Xi, you..."

Before Cao Dagui could finish speaking, Zhou Lixi put Zhiri on the bed and left.

Cao Dagui wanted to cry but had no tears.

Are they the child's parents or Zhou Lixi and Dafu are the child's parents?

Li Xi is good, she doesn't want Zhiri and Xinyu to get close to Dafu, and seizes the opportunity to send the children to their room. Li Xiumei ignores him in order to take care of the children, and when the children start to make noise, he will have to sleep well. Called by Li Xiumei to do this and that.

When Cao Dagui was distressed, Zhou Lixi carried Xinyu in again and put him on the bed.

"Please, Mom and Dad."

After covering them with a quilt, Zhou Lixi left after leaving a word.

Dad... Just because Zhou Lixi often called him that, Cao Dagui couldn't hate Zhou Lixi even if he wanted to.

When Zhou Lixi entered the room, Dafu turned his back to the door, obviously angry.

He hugged Dafu from behind, put his head on Dafu's shoulder and coaxed him: "Don't be angry, it's because you are afraid they will hurt you and the baby."

"Hmph!" Dafu just snorted, but didn't speak.

Zhou Lixi pecked Dafu's neck lightly a few times, and said, "Don't be angry, I'll tell you something funny, and it's also good news."

Dafu looked disapproving, as if he didn't care, but actually pricked up his ears and waited for Zhou Lixi to say something.

Zhou Lixi smiled secretly, happy for Dafu's cuteness.

"It is said that my dad learned to stir-fry vegetables for several hours this afternoon, but ended in failure."

Dafu glared at Zhou Lixi, "Is this funny? Is this good news?"

"Well, it's funny don't you think?"

Thinking of Zhou Yingli's dark face of failure after several hours of patience and hard work, Zhou Lixi couldn't help but laugh.

Dafu struggled out of Zhou Lixi's arms, ready to take a bath and sleep.

Zhou Lixi snatched Dafu into his arms again.

"It's really good news. My mother wants to train my dad to be a good husband like me before she goes back with him. But what she doesn't know is that my dad has facial paralysis, which is inherited from generation to generation. It is said that my great-grandfather also has facial paralysis. So whether my dad is happy or sad, it is impossible to show a more obvious expression. My mother still wants my dad to learn cooking skills to cook for her, but this hope is now ruined. My mom hopes that my dad can't do both If you do it, my mother won't be able to save her face and go back with him..."

At this time, in order to distinguish who the mother he was referring to, Zhou Lixi deliberately referred to Duan Li as "my mother".

"Don't you hope your parents can reconcile?" Dafu wondered, what exactly does this person want?

"Yes, they will reconcile." The relationship of more than 20 years is not so easily ruined, and neither of them can bear it, "But...but my mother needs a step. My mother wants the two steps my father gave him. I can’t even give it, this level needs us to give, now my dad has only one choice, agreeing to let us get back together in exchange for his wife.”

Zhou Lixi smiled so much that his eyes narrowed, looking very sinister.

Dafu: "..."

This man is getting more and more terrifying.
