Le Tong was cooking, and Ji Rui was hanging around next to her, neither helping nor talking much.
Le Tong was not used to this being-watched sensation, "Mr. Ji, why don't you go read a magazine outside."
The subtext of her words was that since you're not helping and just getting in the way, it's better for you to sit outside.
Ji Rui clearly didn't understand the real meaning behind her words, "I'm just watching."
Le Tong glanced at him, "Are you trying to learn how to cook?"
The man shook his head without a hint of hesitation, "No, I can't learn it!"

During Ji Rui's time studying abroad, he had tried to enter the kitchen, but each time, he almost blew it up. After a few attempts, Ji Rui stopped going into the kitchen.
Mr. Ji seemed to be quite aware of his son's incompetence in life skills, providing Young Master Ji with a full range of maids, chefs, and butlers.
