Chapter 760: Chapter 564: Don’t Flaunt Two While Belittling One

"Honey, you’ve never made dumplings, so why don’t you just keep watching your finance show? I’ve got the dumpling-making covered, you don’t need to join the fuss..."

Wen Xueqian quietly suggested to Liu Shiwei, hoping he would tactfully realize he might not be suited for the task and find a way to bow out gracefully.

However...

Things often don’t go as planned...

Her well-intentioned efforts ended up like a stone sinking into the ocean, not causing a single ripple.

Indeed!

Liu Shiwei totally missed the hidden meaning in her words, instead, he said excitedly, "It’s more fun when the whole family makes dumplings together. If I don’t know how, I can learn, right? I’ll wash my hands now and come help."

Looking at Liu Shiwei’s eager and hopeful expression, Wen Xueqian couldn’t help but feel a bit of a bitter smile inside.

After all, in terms of Liu Shiwei’s "extraordinary skills" in cooking, she had the most direct understanding.

His culinary skills were as if all the doors and windows were shut by God...

Really hard to praise!

Even though he once improved a tiny bit by following Huang Jun’s video, it was still barely acceptable and appeared quite rough...

To be honest, it’s not as good as Hanhan’s cooking...

The thing is, despite his poor cooking skills, he doesn’t have any self-awareness, his sense of superiority is quite strong...

Ah~

The husband from this year can’t be carried through...

Watching Liu Shiwei’s firm eyes and smile-filled face, Wen Xueqian just couldn’t bring herself to dampen his spirits any further. She managed to squeeze out a smile and helplessly shook her head, while silently praying in her heart: Hopefully, during the dumpling-making, he can perform beyond expectations, show some surprising culinary skills, otherwise, compared to a master like Huang Jun, his performance might be quite embarrassing...

Once Liu Shiwei and Qingqing and two other little friends washed their hands and sat by the dining table, Huang Jun, with a smile, handed three specially designed chopsticks for learning to Qingqing and the others, then handed Liu Shiwei a pair of delicate bamboo chopsticks, saying with a smile, "Brother Liu, these are your chopsticks, once the dumpling skins are rolled out, you can show your skills!"

Liu Shiwei showed a curious expression, puzzled, "Aren’t dumplings supposed to be made using a spoon? Why switch to using chopsticks? Can the meat filling be picked up?"

Huang Jun busily explained as he worked, "These meat fillings have been seasoned and slapped, making them extremely sticky. Just a light lift with chopsticks will form a ball, which is more convenient than using a spoon."

"Oh, I see..."

Liu Shiwei’s face immediately lit up with a look of enlightenment, suddenly having a moment of clarity, feeling as though "one sentence from you is worth more than ten years of reading."

At this moment, Liu Ruihan, eyes curved and with a childish voice, suggested, "Qingqing, Weiwei, how about we have a contest? Let’s see whose dumplings are fastest and prettiest."

"Sure, okay!"

Qingqing nodded obediently, agreeing to the suggestion wholeheartedly.

"Okay then... I’ll compete, I won’t lose!"

Weiwei raised her little face, a hint of prideful smile at the corner of her mouth, confidently saying, "I’m definitely going to make the fastest and prettiest dumplings."

"Hmph~"

Liu Ruihan let out a light hum, a bit unsatisfied, questioning, "How can you be so sure?"

"Because... because..."

Speaking in the most timid tone, Weiwei said the most determined words, "When I learned cooking in kindergarten, my dishes were always the best..."

"That’s not true!"

Liu Ruihan shook her little head forcefully, retorting a sentence while stating the fact, "Obviously Qingqing made the best..."

"Well, at least I’m one of the best..."

Weiwei blinked smartly, turning to Huang Jun for support, "Daddy, don’t you think so?"

Seeing this, Huang Jun immediately transformed into a "master of diplomacy," smilingly said, "Yes, yes, yes, you three are all the best, you all perform excellently."

And with that.

Weiwei and Liu Ruihan’s dispute came to an abrupt halt, replaced by the bright smiles on their faces and the cheerful "hee hee" laughter from their mouths.

Liu Ruihan turned expectantly to Liu Shiwei, eyes sparkling with bright light, and softly asked, "Daddy, do you want to join our contest too?"

Liu Shiwei gently smiled, his mouth drawing a playful arc, leisurely saying, "You little kids’ contest, as an adult, according to common sense, I should sit and enjoy watching your performances, right?"

But Liu Ruihan didn’t directly respond, instead mischievously blinked, carried a wily smile, slightly challenging, "Daddy, is it because you can’t make dumplings that you’re secretly nervous? Afraid your skills will be outdone by us little kids and you’ll lose face?"

Hey...

Who are you underestimating here?

It’s just making dumplings; he’s an adult, how could he be stumped by such a small task, unable to match you little kids?

What a joke!

Liu Shiwei’s mouth slightly lifted, his eyes revealing full confidence, retorting, "Me? Hmph, that’s an enormous joke! I’m worried if I win, you’ll feel it’s an unearned victory, feeling uncomfortable!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruihan immediately put on a look of unwillingness to give in, retorting, "That’s not true! We’re all very awesome, if you don’t believe it, just try! Hmph, don’t underestimate us!"

Wow~

This is a blatant challenge!

Don’t think I’m weak just because I’m quiet?

Liu Shiwei looked at his daughter’s determined little face, his mouth couldn’t help but lift, his spirit was ignited by her pure enthusiasm.
