It was at this point Ning Ran realized she might have underestimated Nan Chen’s capability. It didn’t even take him an hour to prepare four dishes.

Erbao applauded enthusiastically and shouted, “Daddy is amazing!”

“Have a taste,” said Nan Chen as he appeared to be delighted. It was really rare for him to show such emotion.

“I’ll go first!” Erbao extended her chopsticks towards the stir-fried bitter gourd with eggs.

After putting the egg into her mouth and chewing for a few times, the enthusiasm on her face slowly faded. It was replaced by a solemn expression.

Eventually, Erbao stopped chewing altogether and did not swallow her it. She merely looked at Ning Ran, hoping Ning Ran would come to her rescue.

Looking at Erbao’s expression, Ning Ran knew that there was no way Erbao would have continued eating.

However, Erbao had learnt about proper manners and didn’t dare spit the food out. She had no other choice but to keep it in her mouth and wait for her mother to bail her out.

Unfortunately, Ning Ran couldn’t do that.

She couldn’t just outright deny Master Chen’s effort. If Erbao were to spit out the food he had cooked, there was no doubt it would hurt his pride.

Nan Chen and Dabao noticed something was off about Erbao, and so they each placed a piece of egg into their mouths.

Nan Chen instantly ran towards the rubbish bin. The food wasn’t just bad; it was abysmal.

After watching Nan Chen spit out his own food, Ning Ran gave Erbao the green light.

It couldn’t have been that bad... Ning Ran thought to herself.

Ning Ran then took a piece and put into her mouth. She couldn’t take a second bite after.

It tasted salty, but there was also some strange ingredients in it, causing it to be not only bitter but slimy as well.

Ning Ran spit it out too.

Nan Chen was unwilling to admit defeat, and so he tried out the other dishes.

If it wasn’t too salty, it was too sweet. Either way, those flavor combinations were not what you would like to find in your food.

The soup was the best out of all of them. Perhaps because it tasted like nothing.

Sure enough, Master Chen was more suited to manage his own corporation. Making food for his kids just wasn’t his forte.

As the four of them had stopped eating, they were engulfed in deep silence.

“I think there’s still room for remedy. Maybe if we add some onions, lards and soy sauce into the rice we can make a delicious meal out of it!” suggested Ning Ran.

“That’s a great idea!” cheered Erbao.

But little did they know, the rice was inedible due to insufficient water.

The undercooked rice had a strange white hue.

They turned silent once again.

“Is it time for some clear soup noodles?” Ning Ran suggested once again.

“No.”
