Chapter 1007: Chapter 1007: Being Together is the Best Way to Save Face

“Miss Chi…”

“Miss Chi…”

Chi Enen’s bright eyes carried a calmness, but it was definitely not the kind of calmness that could be bullied. “What? Not betting anymore?”

A group of people stammered and stayed silent.

Chi Enen’s gaze swept over them. The smile at the corner of her mouth disappeared, and she spoke indifferently, “Next time you’re betting, remember to invite me. Place a bet for me–I’ll stick with the one I just chose.”

After finishing her words, she didn’t even glance at the embarrassed expressions of the gossiping servants. She lifted her leg and entered the kitchen.

After all, she had stayed at the Habsden family before. She knew that these servants dared to disrespectfully gossip about her behind her back because Old Master Li had not yet acknowledged her.

So before Old Master Li acknowledged her, no matter what she said, it wouldn’t make a difference.

She simply didn’t want to waste her energy arguing with them.

Whether she and Li Beijue could be together or how long they would stay together–that was between her and Li Beijue. She didn’t need to explain anything to these people.

No matter how much she said, it wouldn’t change a thing. Rather than wasting time saying pointless things, it’s better to just act!

If she stayed with Li Beijue for the long haul, that would be the strongest rebuttal to these people.

…

The Li family’s kitchen was like something out of a seven-star hotel, fully equipped with all sorts of cooking tools and extraordinarily spacious.

The moment she walked in, the big chefs in their pristine white hats all cast curious glances at her.

The servant following Chi Enen said something to the nearest chef. After the chef gave her a surprised look, he said, “Miss Chi, please follow me.”

Chi Enen followed him to the innermost corner.

He stopped and pointed to a nearby refrigerator. “The vegetables are inside here. Seafood and meat are kept elsewhere. If Miss Chi needs anything, just let me know, and I’ll fetch it for you.”

Chi Enen looked at the massive eight-door refrigerator in disbelief, unable to imagine that it only stored vegetables.

Such a large refrigerator–it could probably fit an entire supermarket.

The extravagance of Li Beijue’s home was truly over-the-top.

No wonder he himself lived so lavishly. He must have grown up used to it.

Chi Enen steadied herself and politely declined the chef’s offer to fetch meat for her. “That won’t be necessary. I’m just making some tomato egg noodles. Seafood and meat aren’t needed.”

“Tomato egg noodles?” The chef’s eyes widened, momentarily unable to contain his shock, and blurted out.

Earlier, Shi Nan had told him that Master Jue specifically wanted to eat the dish Miss Chi was going to make, which was why she’d been brought to the kitchen.

He had assumed Miss Chi was about to prepare some kind of extraordinary dish and was mentally prepared to be amazed. But it turned out to be just tomato egg noodles…

With all these seven-star chefs here, making tomato egg noodles was simpler than simple. If Master Jue wanted it, he could have just ordered them to prepare it–so why make Miss Chi come down here?

Could it be that Miss Chi’s way of making tomato egg noodles was completely different from the usual recipe?

The chef’s gaze at Chi Enen subtly shifted.

Chi Enen had long grown accustomed to various kinds of stares. She didn’t feel the slightest discomfort or awkwardness. She opened the luxurious, oversized refrigerator and took out fresh tomatoes and eggs.

Then she found a small pot, turned on the stove, and added a little oil. Meanwhile, she brought the fresh tomatoes under the faucet, washed them clean, and sliced them.

She turned off the heat, cracked the eggs, and added a pinch of salt.

When the hot oil had cooled slightly, she poured the eggs into the pot. The liquid eggs quickly solidified into a golden-yellow omelet. With measured movements, she poured in the prepared clear water…
