Lu Xian Li paused chopping her vegetables to laugh. "Mother, can you not look at me like I'm the one always picking fights?"

Lu Meili looked at her younger sister and harrumphed. Can you not make it sound like you're not the one always picking fights?

With such a tense atmosphere, Wan Jia more or less managed to teach Lu Meili to cook a dish or two. Despite never having the interest to even set foot in the kitchen before, Lu Meili was fast in taking instructions. She didn't have half as much trouble as Wan Jia thought she would.

Of course, the girl on Wan Jia's left wouldn't be Lu Xian Li if she completely kept her mouth shut. "Sis, may I ask..."

"No you may not. Can you mind your own business?"

"If my business was even a tiny bit interesting, I wouldn't be sticking my long nose into yours. I'm only curious. Are you learning to cook because of Xu Tang?" Wasn't that weird? Xu Tang already knew that she had some sort of enmity towards the kitchen. Would it change anything?

Wan Jia was curious about this too so she listened in.

Lu Meili sighed. "No. It's for my future husband. If I cannot even whip out a single dish, what will he think of me?"

Lu Xian Li held her stomach, laughing. "He'll be too busy laughing to think anything."

Lu Meili glared at her sister and took a tray to arrange the dishes she had managed to cook after so long. Coincidentally, Lu Aotian was back.

"Mom, why don't you let me take care of daddy's dinner today?"

"Okay." Wan Jia mercilessly sold her own husband off to be a guinea pig.

...

Lu Meili neatly arranged the dishes on the dining table before going to find Lu Aotian. "Daddy, your dinner is ready."

Lu Aotian found it strange. What was this little girl up to this time? "Your mother cooked?"

"No. I did." Her expression couldn't conceal her pride. She had finally cooked and the first person to taste her dishes would be her father!

However, Lu Aotian was not a cooperative guinea pig. "If it wasn't cooked by my wife, it will taste bland no matter how delicious you think it is."

Lu Meili fled out of Lu Aotian's study.

What the hell? You cannot do that to your own daughter!

"Where's the fire?" Lu Xian Li was waiting eagerly to see Lu Aotian eat food prepared by the kitchen rookie who probably didn't even know to boil water before today.

"Daddy is so mean! I invited him for dinner, but he stuffed me with dog food instead."

Lu Xian Li didn't look shocked. "You have seen the sun for five more years than me. Shouldn't you know best that daddy will display his affection every time he mentions mother?"

Lu Meili sighed. For the first time ever, she agreed with this little troublemaker. She had seen those two display their affections so many times that she should be used to it.

"Since daddy doesn't want to try out your dishes, why don't I have a taste?" Lu Xian Li ignored her sister's glare. Heaven knew how curious she was to know whether those dishes were as delicious as they looked. Could it be that just like Xia Rou and Wan Jia, Lu Meili had inherited the admirable culinary skills of the Xia family?

...

After having a taste.

"Urgh... I'm glad daddy didn't eat this. Sis, are you sure you are learning to cook for your future husband and not your future enemy?"

Lu Meili glared at her. "I'm learning to cook for you!"

"No thank you. I take back what I thought about you inheriting good culinary skills from grandma."

"And I take back what I thought about having something to agree on with a little brat like you."

Wan Jia ignored them and took dishes to her husband's study. When they were tired of fighting, they would stop.

After dinner, Lu Meili went to find Lu Aotian once again. "Dad, you have not told me anything about my date."

Lu Aotian gave her a once-over. Was the person speaking still Lu Meili, the very Lu Meili who was madly in love with Xu Tang for all he remembered? "You are looking forward to meeting him? Don't worry. He will not disappoint your expectations."

He saw that she looked at him curiously. "He's the son of my close friend. His upbringing is good enough. Despite being from an aristocratic family, he is neither proud nor arrogant. Regarding everything else, it's up to you."

Lu Meili only needed to know about his relationship with other people. As long as he was not arrogant, he was good enough to be considered by her. "Can we go on the date tomorrow? I will start filming 'Dancer of the year' next week.

Lu Aotian looked at her seriously. "No problem. However, I must warn you."

"About what?"

Lu Aotian stopped doing what he was doing, as though talking about a matter of utmost importance. "My wife blinks most of the nights away worrying about you. If you are serious about wanting to go on a blind date, then do so. However, if you are only doing this to evoke the jealously of your Xu childhood friend, then do not waste my time."

Lu Meili didn't feel offended by his words. Thanks to her speed of changing her mind, it was easy for one to misunderstand her intentions.

"Dad, I am not doing this to make Xu Tang regret his decision. I'm serious about it. But…"

"What?"

"If I don't like your friend's son, I'm allowed to go on another blind date, right?"

"That's allowed."

And so, Lu Meili's date was decided.
