Growing Fond of You, Mr Nian

“All right.” Murong Cheng waved her hand and said, “I won’t let you accept any other robot that he tries to give you. I’d rather hire someone to cook for you. Sometimes people need to learn to take care of themselves. Don’t always rely on electronic products. If he doesn’t want to cook for you, he doesn’t have to do it. He doesn’t need to ask his friend to make a robot chef for you. You see, your brother doesn’t know how to cook either. Aren’t he and Sangsang living a good life together? It’s not a problem. Our family can afford to hire someone to cook for you two when you get married.”

“Mom, it’s not like that…”

“Let me ask you something. He doesn’t know how to cook, right?” Murong Cheng interrupted her.

“No, he doesn’t, but he’s learning…” Nian Xi felt that her mother was misunderstanding Jiang Yuning.

Murong Cheng interrupted her again saying, “When I first got together with your father, he also said that he’d learn how to cook for me. Now we’re divorced and he still doesn’t know how to cook. Sometimes saying you’ll learn is just an excuse. Before he learns it for you, anything he says is meaningless. Besides, husband and wife need to take care of each other. You can’t always rely on him, so you need to learn how to cook too. I guess he got you this robot chef because he knows you don’t like cooking.”

“Mom, he’s not like that.” Nian Xi felt extremely frustrated and embarrassed. She was planning on using the robot to make her family know how capable Jiang Yuning was.

Murong Cheng shook her head and sighed. She didn’t even want to say anything else.

At 7:30 p.m., the doorbell rang. Nian Xi answered it. Jiang Yuning came in, held her hands, and asked her nervously, “Are you okay?”

“I’m good, but my brother suffered a punch, and my kitchen is destroyed. Go and take a look.” Nian Xi wasn’t happy to see him.

Some of the words that her family said had gone to her heart. Noticing the sullen look on Nian Xi’s face, Jiang Yuning’s fair face grew pale.

“Mr. Jiang, Miss Nian’s mother is here too,” Uncle Han said reminding him.

Jiang Yuning raised his head, nodded at Murong Cheng and said, “Aunty, I’m sorry.”

Murong Cheng was really angry, however, looking at the pretty face of Jiang Yuning, she didn’t have the heart to say anything too harsh to him.

“Take back your robot. Don’t ever give her anything like that again,” she said.

A trace of sadness flashed across Jiang Yuning’s black eyes. He walked to the kitchen and looked inside. Big Jiang-jiang was lying on the floor, broken. The devastated kitchen shocked him.

“This is…” Uncle Han was stunned as well.

Big Jiang-jiang was water damaged and couldn’t be turned on.

“I’ll fix your kitchen and buy you some better kitchen appliances,” he said to Nian Xi with a deep voice. “I’m really sorry.”

A gleam of light poured in through the window, onto his beautiful face. Nian Xi understood that complaining at that moment might hurt him very deeply.

She wasn’t feeling comfortable though.

“I just want to know why it did this,” she said.

Jiang Yuning blinked and said, “I need to take it back for a check-up to find out.”

“I think you need to talk to your friend Xinxin,” Nian Xi said honestly.

Jiang Yuning paused for a second, then nodded. “I certainly do. There is a severe problem with her technique
