Master Head of the Dragon Soul

Chapter 123

Right now, though, Chu Feng couldn’t be bothered to know what Xu Hai thought. After saying goodbye to Heather and picking Duo Duo up, he went straight for the kitchen to prepare a feast for his daughter. After slaving away for a full two hours, the fragrant smell coming from the kitchen tempted Duo Duo from her horizontal position on the sofa to the kitchen, her nose sniffing out the feast he prepared.

“Wow, it’s such a big feast today. There’s steak, lobster and caviar too.” The girl’s eyes lit up and she had to wipe the drool from her lips. On this day, Chu Feng had gone all out by making a French feast. There was black pepper steak, pan-fried cod, cheesy lobster, salmon and a pot of creamy mushroom soup, miniature cakes and a colorful vegetable salad for dinner. The mere sight of these delicacies, tantalizing in smell, presentation and taste, were enough to stimulate one’s appetite.

“Let’s eat. There’s enough to go around.” Chu Feng pinched Duo Duo’s cheek and poured Yun Muqing a glass of Bordeaux red wine for their heartwarming and romantic candlelit dinner.

“You know how to make Western food too, Chu Feng?” Yun Muqing paused at the table of delicacies, feeling blessed at Chu Feng’s apparently numerous hidden talents.

“I’m self-taught. Western dishes are much easier because fresh ingredients can really upgrade the taste.” Chu Feng handed her a pair of silver cutlery. “Try it.”

Yun Muqing smiled and took the cutlery, then cut the steak with elegant and practiced movements. As she savored the steak, her eyes closed in satisfaction.

“Mm, medium rare premium Wagyu beef. Juicy, tender, smooth texture.” A smile appeared on Yun Muqing’s face and she sighed. The satisfaction and bliss she got from tasting good food was like a cool breeze, washing away the frustration and fatigue she got after a day’s work. While she ate, she asked, “Did you win the lottery, Chu Feng? I’d never splurged on ingredients this expensive even while I was still a member of the Yun family. Why did you do so?”

While cutting the steak for Duo Duo so that she could eat more conveniently, Chu Feng answered, “I’m not that lucky. Heather sent these over from all over the world by air, as a gift to us.”

Duo Duo raised her hands and cheered, “Thank you, Miss Heather.”

Yun Muqing, though, became stiff and uneasy the moment she heard Heather’s name. When she looked at the expensive ingredients again, the image of Heather’s aloof, yet no less beautiful face appeared in her head. After that, another image appeared—one of Heather and Chu Feng laughing together and being close together. Yun Muqing suddenly felt as if something had stuffed her heart full. It felt sour, bitter and it completely ruined her appetite, so she frowned and put down her cutlery. “I’m not eating.”

“Huh? But why, Mummy?” Duo Duo blinked in confusion.

“This is food that Miss Heather gifted to her savior. I can’t possibly eat this.” Yun Muqing glanced at Chu Feng, pouted, then stubbornly took a cup of instant noodles from the fridge and stormed off to the living room.

Duo Duo dejectedly spread her hands and looked at Chu Feng. “Daddy, I think Mummy’s jealous again. Should we go cheer her up?”

Chu Feng stroked her hair. “Nah, Mummy just likes instant noodles. Let her enjoy it in peace.”

“Hmm, Daddy’s right. Let’s just eat up Mummy share, teehee!” Duo Duo cheered.

In the living room, Yun Muqing nearly tripped over herself in her rage. Bullsh*t! You’re the one who likes instant noodles! Your whole family likes instant noodles!

“Daddy, this foie gras is really good. Here you go.”

“Good girl. Try some lobster. The protein will help you grow prettier.”

“Thanks, Daddy. Heehee, there’s so much food here. How can we possibly finish everything?” Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“We don’t. Just dump what you can’t finish, and Daddy will cook you something new tomorrow.”

In the living room, Yun Muqing cocked her ears to eavesdrop on all the shameless things Chu Feng and Duo Duo were saying, things that only made her stomach growl. “Hmph, what’s so good about that? Instant noodles are filling too. I don’t need those things Heather sent.” Yun Muqing stubbornly pouted and held up the instant noodles she just made. Above the pale noodles, a few measly green onion and carrot pieces floated around as garnish. Besides that, there were beef cubes too small to be detected by the naked eye, and an unidentified object that was just egg-shaped enough to be called one. “What the heck? This is false advertising! Where are the big beef cubes and whole marinated egg I was promised? Damn those profiteers!”
