Cunning women without culture are not scary.
Cunning women with culture are the ones to fear.
‘Pfft!’
Lin An'an laughed and rolled her eyes, saying, “Just kidding.”
Xu Mo didn’t bother to dwell on it.
He found a random spot to sit down.
Going upstairs to drink water?
Yes, that’s right.
Xu Mo really just went upstairs to get some water.
After a while, he slipped away.
No hidden agenda.
He didn’t want to leave too many attachments in this world.
As for the female demon, he had more or less wrapped up that storyline.
Looking back, it might have been a bit too forced.
But, nonetheless, he had made it through.
Gulp gulp gulp----------
Lin An'an downed half a bottle of tea in one go.
She shook her head in front of Xu Mo.
Don’t let her relaxed demeanor fool you.
In reality,
Lin An'an was racking her brains trying to figure out how to keep Xu Mo around.
Meanwhile, Xu Mo was scrolling through his phone.
He checked the time.
Lin An'an was in a frenzy.
She could hear Xu Mo’s inner thoughts!!
No way could she let him leave like this.
Once this opportunity passes, there won’t be another one like it.
Today’s chance was truly once-in-a-lifetime!
Gurgle gurgle-------------
Suddenly, her stomach let out an unusually loud rumble.
The sound was so loud
that it drowned out the noise of Xu Mo’s TikTok videos.
Lin An'an froze for a moment, her face already as red as a pig’s liver, and it reddened even more. “Xu Mo, do you know how to cook?”
“No.”
Xu Mo replied decisively.
【Cook? What’s the point?】
【Let’s just have instant noodles.】
【Do I really need to reveal my hidden identity as a culinary master to you?】
【Eating late-night snacks is unhealthy, go wash up and sleep.】
Lin An'an couldn’t help but chuckle, suppressing her laughter as she said, “Then just boil me some plain noodles, add an egg, no green onions, and use less oil.”
Being a master chef or not didn’t matter.
Lin An'an didn’t care about that.
She knew Xu Mo would eventually leave.
This place was only a temporary haven, Zhou Qiaoqiao’s place was where he truly belonged.
Lin An'an just wanted to spend a bit more time with Xu Mo.
Xu Mo said, “I’ll cook you some instant noodles.”
Lin An'an touched her cheek and murmured, “I drank so much alcohol earlier, and if I eat instant noodles now, I’ll probably get pimples.”
“Are you sober now?”
“Sober mei--------- cough cough cough---------- a bit.”
Lin An'an nodded.
She didn’t mention the elevator incident earlier.
Xu Mo didn’t bring it up either.
Not talking about it made things less awkward.
As for cooking noodles, he was quite skilled at that.
“Alright, wait here, I’ll cook you a bowl of noodles.”
“Yay yay, Xu Mo, go ahead! All the ingredients are in the kitchen, I’ve prepared a lot, your noodles will surely taste great.”
Lin An'an clapped her hands excitedly.
Humans always have some vanity.
No matter how the taste turns out,
one must first praise it.
Xu Mo was taken aback.
The words sounded familiar.
He seemed to have heard them somewhere before.
In a moment, Xu Mo chuckled and shook his head. He didn’t bother to recall what it was about.
Why try to remember when it’s obviously not important? Important things wouldn’t slip his mind.
Besides, he was a bit hungry too.
After eating, he’d head home.
Entering the kitchen,
there were plenty of ingredients and seasonings.
Since time was short,
Xu Mo didn’t need to get fancy.
KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid).
Just cook some instant noodles.
“Hmm? There are shrimp too? And they’re fresh? Never mind, let’s make some seafood noodles.”
Xu Mo found some good stuff.
For others,
it might take some effort.
But for Xu Mo, it was a breeze.
He could get it done in no time.
Preparing seafood noodles was pretty fast too.
In the living room,
Lin An'an took off her high heels, revealing her toes painted with glossy nail polish.
She stepped onto the floor barefoot.
She turned on the TV in the living room and waited.
This feeling brought her back to the time when she was filming.
The identities of the male and female leads in the drama,
like an old married couple.
Living together, what’s the big deal?
Being able to enjoy the present moments,
Lin An'an was satisfied.
Soon,
as Xu Mo busied himself in the kitchen,
the aroma of the noodles gradually wafted into the living room.
Lin An'an’s delicate nose twitched, sensing a delicious fragrance.
Her stomach rumbled again, this time louder than before.
Lin An'an was truly hungry!
“Seriously? No way, could he really be good at cooking?”
Lin An'an jumped off the couch.
Barefoot, she tiptoed towards the kitchen.
Inside,
Xu Mo was intently cooking the noodles.
Men are at their handsomest when they’re seriously focused.
Seeing this,
Lin An'an paused for a moment, “So handsome.”
Xu Mo finished the final touches and looked up just as Lin An'an was sneaking a peek.
“You’re just in time, your noodles are ready.”
“It smells so good.” Caught in the act, Lin An'an no longer hid, walking straight in.
On the table were two large bowls.
Each filled with steaming noodles.
Topped with shrimp and a fried egg.
The presentation was meticulous,
akin to what one might find in a professional hotel.
“Can you eat seafood?”
“Sure, sure.” Lin An'an swallowed hard, surprised, “Xu Mo, did you make these?”
“Could it be me, or would you expect Old Wang next door to cook them?” Xu Mo joked.
He then moved his own bowl and utensils to the side.
From his experience with the female demon,
Xu Mo realized a crucial point.
That is, one must divide the food beforehand,
avoiding any late-game tussles over the last bites.
Lin An'an stared at the golden noodles in her bowl, momentarily dazed.
She had assumed it was just Xu Mo joking around.
Little did she know it was true.
A culinary master has been right next to me? The joke’s on me?
Lin An'an couldn’t hold back any longer.
Slurp------------------
She started slurping her noodles.
The noodles were very chewy,
not the mushy type.
The broth was exceptionally flavorful.
She couldn’t tell what Xu Mo put in it.
One bite of noodles followed by some soup,
and her mood lifted instantly.
Then Lin An'an found herself unable to stop.
She kept slurping and slurping.
“Xu Mo, Xu Mo, I didn’t think you were such a great cook! Your noodles are so delicious!!”
“Don’t compliment me, even if you do, I won’t share with you. Your portion is gone, maybe next time.”
“Next time? When will that be? We’re colleagues working together, how can you bear to see me go hungry?”
“I can bear it.”
“Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m so mad, just let me try a bite! Why are you so stingy?!”

Good night, sweethearts~
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her. Meanwhile, Yang An, fresh out of university, was having a very bad day. Good news: He’d transmigrated into another world with a cheat granting tenfold combat power. Bad news: He’d immediately fallen into the clutches of a certain villainess. Good news: Said villainess possessed peerless beauty and royal status. Bad news: She was absolutely monstrous!!! In the frozen wilderness, Yang An knelt beneath Qin Guo’er’s feet, drenched in sweat despite the cold. Desperately clutching her porcelain-perfect foot—the very one poised to crush his throat—he could only think: How do I survive this?! Need answers NOW!
