Chapter 1061: A Whole New Level Of Respect

“That would take years. It’s too early for you to say that. “Mrs. Lu smiled as she placed the mold in the sink to wash it. She turned to Jiang Yao and said, “Xingzhi said that you wanted to make cookies, so he found the mold in the box to wash it for you. You can use it later. The kitchen is small, so I’ll go out to the living room. If you need any help, come out and call me.”

Mrs. Lu then exited the kitchen to make a place for the young pair.

Lu Xingzhi waited for Mrs. Lu to leave before returning his attention to Jiang Yao’s tummy. He did not heed what Mrs. Lu had to say about what would happen in the next few years. He believed that if he worked hard enough in those few days, he would be able to solve the child’s problem.

“You go out too. You’ll be a hindrance here!” Jiang Yao shoved Lu Xingzhi, who was two steps behind her, aside. She took the lead by herself. She could not stand Lu Xingzhi’s eyes, which blazed like X-rays on her tummy. His fiery glance was as though his daughter was already inside his stomach.

Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi had already agreed not to tell their families that they were expecting children shortly. They would not inform their family until they had confirmed that she was pregnant. If she were truly pregnant, she would take a leave of absence from school. She only needed to show up for the exams at the end of the semester.

Lu Xingzhi realized Jiang Yao did not require his assistance. After being rejected by Jiang Yao, he cleaned his hands and exited the kitchen. When he returned to the living room, the few people there were still talking about Jiang Yao’s cookie-making.

Everyone, except Lu Yuqing, was looking forward to it. After all, it was Lu Yuqing who had spent the most time with Jiang Yao. She knew that Jiang Yao was someone who never entered the kitchen.

“Why are you willing to come out?”

Mrs. Lu asked when she saw Lu Xingzhi come out of the kitchen alone.

Lu Xiaoxiao smiled and answered, “Auntie, do you still want to ask? “I’m sure my sister-in-law is annoyed by her brother’s clumsiness.”

Lu Xingzhi did not react as he should have after being teased by Lu Xiaoxiao. Instead, he was texting on his phone while lounging on the sofa with his long legs. He eventually went to the courtyard to make a phone call.

It was not difficult to make cookies. Jiang Yao emerged from the kitchen after more than an hour. She made the simplest type of cookie. It was a shape she created with her quick hands without the use of any props.

The delicious smell of milk filled the living room when the freshly cooked cookies were removed from the oven. Lu Yuqing’s eyes widened when Jiang Yao appeared with a plate.

“Well done, Jiang Yao. I’m impressed!” Lu Yuqing recognized the fragrance as soon as she smelled it.

“Sister-in-law, is that a pile of dark chocolate cookies?”

Lu Xiaoxiao inquired, pointing to the pile of dark alphabet cookies that had been plated separately.

Jiang Yao laughed and embarrassedly touched the tip of her nose. “Well, I did not have good control over the time and temperature the first time.”

Then, Jiang Yao said, “Don’t eat it. The taste is very bitter. Leave it for your brother to eat them.”

Jiang Yao’s words made Lu Xiaoxiao hold the pillow and giggle. “Sister-in-law, you really know how to dote on people!”

“Where is he?”

Jiang Yao had been looking for Lu Xingzhi since she came out of the kitchen. She knew that Lu Xingzhi did not believe that she could cook, so she could not wait to show off to Lu Xingzhi. In the end, she came out with some cookies. Everyone was excited, but she could not see him.

“I was on the phone in the yard,” Lu Xiaoxiao replied. Then, she snatched a cookie and put it into his mouth. Before he swallowed it, he gave Jiang Yao a thumbs up. “Delicious!”
