Li Ji was inwardly mortified.
He had boasted so confidently before, as if he could whip up a feast with no effort at all.
But reality had slapped him hard in the face.
What was even more infuriating was that brat Gou Dan intentionally sighing with exaggerated praise.
"This meat is cooked so well! It's not too salty, not too bland—it's just right!"
Li Ji sneered.
'As if I can't tell.'
'That little stinker is doing it on purpose to mock me!'
When Manman was nearly finished eating, she suddenly heard Li Ji ask a question.
"How is Gou Dan's homework coming along? Bring it here for me to see."
Hua Manman paused mid-bite.
Li Xun, completely oblivious to his mother's strange reaction, immediately stood up and said proudly.
"Mother helped me write several lines of poetry this time! Her literary talent is amazing!"
With that, he dashed out, giving Hua Manman no chance to stop him.
Hua Manman could only watch helplessly as he vanished in a flash.
