Chapter 592: Chapter 592: Unhappy, Not Happy!

The next day was Saturday, and Bai Shao took Xiao Lizi out for an outing early in the morning with the Yan Family’s driver.

When the Young Master found out from his Uncle Hai, he was upset that Bai Xiaolu had gone out to play without him, without even letting him know.

The sullen Young Master, feeling depressed, sulks on the sofa.

Then, to his surprise, although Xiao Lizi has gone out to play, his mother-in-law, who has been very busy lately and never has the time to accompany him, is unexpectedly staying at home today. Right now, she is sitting out on the patio with grandma and mommy, enjoying tea and snacks.

The Young Master, originally holding in a belly of anger and feeling very unhappy, perked up instantly when he saw his mommy and mother-in-law were present. He crawled up from the sofa, jumped to the ground, and ran out onto the patio.

"Mother-in-law, are you not going to the restaurant today?"

The Young Master failed to notice that his mother-in-law was in low spirits.

Chen Jing pulled him closer, hugging him and stroking his head, asking, "Isn’t it great for mother-in-law to stay home with baby boy?"

She had cried all the way in the car yesterday. Upon arriving home, she fell asleep in a daze.

When she woke up, it was already past nine, meaning she had slept for over ten hours.

She called the restaurant and her two disciples responded, "Master, brother Wang delivered the fresh ingredients early this morning. We are watching over the restaurant, you should rest at home!"

Chen Jing considered her state and decided it would be best not to show up at the restaurant as she was. She agreed and was about to hang up when one of her disciples asked, "Master, Boss Luo came by yesterday. He looked disappointed when he couldn’t wait for you. Did he call you later?"

"Did he come by today? If he does, let him know I’ll be back tomorrow."

"Sure thing, although we haven’t seen him yet. He probably knows you won’t be back today, so he’ll come by tomorrow."

After the call with her disciple, Chen Jing scanned her call logs and found no missed calls from Luo Yifan.

However, there were two from baby boy that were made at exactly nine in the evening.

She guessed that the little boy had called because she hadn’t come home and he wanted to urge her to close up shop and return.

This little boy, indeed, was very caring.

After all, she had raised him herself.

Thinking of this, Chen Jing felt a sudden wave of sadness. She too had been raised by her parents, but...

Zhu Qianying noticed her mother’s fleeting smile due to the arrival of baby boy. However, before she could rejoice, her mother’s face was once again clouded with deep sorrow.

"Mom, it’s been many days since I’ve tasted your cooking. Can you cook for us today?"

Zhu Qianying didn’t really want to burden her mother, but she thought that it would be better for her to be busy and distracted from her worries than sitting around lost in thought.

Before Chen Jing could answer, the Young Master, clapping his chubby hands excitedly, said, "Great! baby boy gets to eat something delicious again!"

The sorrow on Chen Jing’s face faded, replaced by a light smile. She looked down at the little boy’s increasingly chubby face.

"Baby boy, you need to be careful, or you will become a chubby boy soon!"

The Young Master, confident in his appearance and physique, responded by waving his chubby hands, "That’s not a problem, isn’t it said, that chubbier people have more potential?"

Zhu Qianying wanted to tell her precious son that he had gone from being top-notch to having potential because he had become chubby.

However, it really wasn’t a big deal for children to be a little chubby.

Both Zhu Qianying and the elders of the Yan Family thought that baby boy was cute chubbier. Therefore, they had chosen a more indulgent attitude towards his excessive drinking and eating.

With baby boy around, Chen Jing’s mood visibly improved. When the time was right, she got up to cook.

Zhu Qianying wanted to get up and help, but Chen Jing gestured her to stay.

"You stay and keep Mommy Lu and baby boy company, I will be done quickly!"

Chen Jing’s work in the kitchen was remarkably efficient. If Zhu Qianying took half an hour to make a meal, then Chen Jing could easily get it done in twenty minutes.

Soon, she had prepared four dishes and a soup. Remembering something she had forgotten to do as the dishes were being taken out, she picked up the phone and dialed Luo Yifan’s number.

In fact, she had called Luo Yifan right after hanging up on her disciple’s call, intending to apologize on the phone for making him wait yesterday.

But the calls were met with a busy tone, so Chen Jing had to give up.

Now, the call went through but no one was picking it up.

Just as Chen Jing was about to hang up, the call was answered.

"Hello!"

This familiar voice carried a hint of alienation.

Chen Jin was surprised, she thought she had the wrong number and checked the caller ID. It indeed read, "Boss Luo".

"Hello, Luo, it’s Ah Jing."

Due to the other party’s standoffishness, she had to introduce herself.

In fact, this was the first time that she had initiated a call to Luo Yifan after knowing him for so long.

"Oh, it’s you. What’s up?"

At first, Chen Jing thought it was just her imagination, but after hearing this sentence, she was sure that Luo Yifan was indeed very cold.

Chen Jing took a deep breath and simply said, "Nothing really. I was tied up with some emergencies yesterday and couldn’t return to the restaurant. I forgot to notify you and made you make a wasted trip."

"Oh, it’s okay. I live nearby so it’s only a ten- to eight-minute walk to and from the hotel anyway."

This consolation didn’t make Chen Jing feel any better.

"Well, anyway, I’m sorry to have caused you trouble. I will be back tomorrow, will you come by?"

Although Chen Jing was feeling down, she was still very concerned about the Food Exhibition. As the event was approaching, they had only determined the preparation process for one of the two vegetarian dishes. She and Luo Yifan had not resolved the other one yet.

She wasn’t sure if there would be further changes, so if possible, she hoped to confirm it as soon as possible.

"I’m sorry, I’m not in L City at the moment and won’t be coming back anytime soon. As for the other dish, I’ll send the chef who will be participating in the competition with you to discuss with you tomorrow. The final result will be decided by you three."

This suggested that he no longer wanted to discuss this dish.

Actually, this decision was not unreasonable.

Chen Jing had been at odds with Luo Yifan because she felt that his suggestions were not professional as he wasn’t even a chef.

In other words, it was more appropriate for a chef to come and discuss with her.

But now, the situation had changed, and Chen Jing felt strangely uncomfortable.

Or rather, she was upset! Not happy!
