Chapter 1048: A Surprise for Him?

"Later on, she followed her father and stepmother to immigrate abroad, living quite lonely, just like having no father or mother... This time she got injured, and her family hasn’t come to see her, it’s truly pitiful..."

Listening to Yan Xue’s words, Wen Duoduo couldn’t help but be surprised.

She didn’t expect that Ning Wan’s background would be somewhat similar to hers.

Thinking of this, Wen Duoduo nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll just whip up a few of my specialties for her, but I can’t guarantee she’ll like them."

"As long as she’s willing to eat, nothing else matters, let’s just give it a try!"

Yan Xue said excitedly, raising her hand to beckon the driver, "Driver, hurry, let’s head back to the old house!"

......

When Lu Jinyan got back to the old house, he smelled a rich fragrance from afar, coming from the kitchen.

And this smell felt very familiar to him; it was the few dishes Wen Duoduo often made.

At that moment, Lu Jinyan’s first thought was: Wen Duoduo had come to his house to cook for him!

The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but reveal a faint smile: That girl, coming over to cook for him, why didn’t she say anything in advance? Could it be to give him a surprise?

Thinking about this, his smile deepened, and his steps became all the more brisk.

He covered three steps in two, directly heading into the kitchen, and the moment he reached the door, he saw Wen Duoduo’s busy silhouette.

Just as he guessed, it was indeed her!

Feeling joyful in his heart, Lu Jinyan walked over directly, but with light steps; taking advantage of Wen Duoduo’s unpreparedness, he stretched out his arm and encircled her slender waist.

Caught off guard and without any defense, Wen Duoduo shuddered all over when he hugged her.

"Ah—"

She let out a scream, and the spatula in her hand fell to the ground with a clang.

Lu Jinyan’s eyes and hands were quick, promptly bending down to catch the spatula.

Wen Duoduo turned around, gently punching his chest, saying, "You jerk, haven’t you ever heard that scaring people can scare them to death?"

"Who told you to be so focused that you didn’t even realize I came in."

He held her slender waist, lightly kissed her forehead, then looked down at the noodles in the pot.

"What delicious dish are you making?"

As he spoke, he was about to stretch out his hand to pick up a strand of noodles.

"Wait a minute!" Wen Duoduo swiftly slapped his hand, making the noodles fall back into the pot.

Lu Jinyan exaggeratedly cried out: "What’s the harm in having a bite? After all, you’re making it for me anyway."

"Sorry, this isn’t for you."

"Not for me?"

Surprised for a moment, Lu Jinyan then feigned a look of sudden realization: "Ah, I got it, it’s specially made for my mom, haha, you said you wouldn’t marry me, but you’re already starting to please your future mother-in-law."

Lu Jinyan said cheerfully, circling Wen Duoduo’s slender waist, then bent down to kiss her on the neck.

Suddenly, he heard Wen Duoduo say, "It really isn’t, this is for Ning Wan."

Ning Wan?

Lu Jinyan’s movements paused, and his smile immediately vanished.

"Why are you cooking for her? Such matters can be left to Sister Zhang."

Wen Duoduo was about to respond when they suddenly heard Yan Xue’s voice from outside the door: "I asked her to cook for Ning Wan."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jinyan’s expression turned even colder: "Mom, why are you asking Duoduo to do such a thing?"

Yan Xue said, "Oh, you know, Ning Wan always likes Western food, and Sister Zhang can’t make it. I heard Duoduo is an excellent chef, and her forte is Western cuisine, so I thought to ask her for a favor, to make something for Ning Wan, and she agreed too."
