[A woman's beauty is inversely proportional to her cooking skills.]
Ya Zhi glanced at Ming Ge. If the total score for human aesthetics were ten, then Ming Ge's beauty would easily score a 9.5.
So...
Ya Zhi swallowed hard. It smelled delightful, but... was it actually edible?
"Doesn't Night Palace have a team of chefs? Why are you cooking?"
"I'm in a good mood today, so I thought I'd try my hand at it." Ming Ge stirred the soup and asked, "Rouge, are you staying for dinner?"
Ya Zhi quickly waved both hands in refusal. "No way, I wouldn't dare interrupt you and Yan Ge's couple time."
Ming Ge caught the tone of dread in her words and narrowed her mesmerizing eyes. "Why do I feel like that's not the real reason? Spill the truth."
"..." Ya Zhi let out an awkward cough, then confessed blankly, "I'm afraid I'll be poisoned."
Ming Ge feigned fury. "Oh, that's rich. You dare insult my cooking skills!"
