Chapter 1047: Pleading Earnestly

With her reassurance, Yan Xue let out a sigh of relief and excitedly grabbed Wen Duoduo’s hand.

She couldn’t wait to say, "That’s great. Auntie needs a favor from you, can you help?"

Wen Duoduo didn’t think too much and nodded, saying, "Auntie, whatever you need help with, just say it."

"It’s like this..."

Yan Xue first sighed, paused, and then continued:

"This morning, the doctor gave Ning Wan some very regrettable news, saying she has a scar-prone constitution, and there might be an ugly scar left on her ankle that may never be removed for life...

The child is very upset and sad because of this, has refused treatment, and even started fasting. The doctor said she has post-traumatic depression..."

Hearing Yan Xue mention Ning Wan, Wen Duoduo froze.

She suddenly had a bad premonition.

Then, she heard Yan Xue say, "Fortunately, Yinyin consoled her, and Ning Wan’s mood improved a bit. She decided to accept treatment again. It’s just that—"

Slightly pausing, she looked troubled, her hands clenched together, hesitating to speak.

"Auntie, please speak directly."

Wen Duoduo said gently.

Yan Xue nodded slightly and continued, "Ning Wan isn’t used to the hospital food and is tired of the dishes made by our housekeeper Zhang. I wanted to make some fresh dishes for her to try, but I’m worried about the cleanliness of outside restaurants.

Just as I heard your cooking skills are good, especially in Western cuisine, I thought of asking you to help, to make some Western dishes for Ning Wan, what do you think?"

Wen Duoduo was completely stunned on the spot. She never thought Yan Xue would make such a request.

Cooking for her rival...

To be honest, she’s not that magnanimous.

However, it was Lu Jinyan’s mother asking her.

Wen Duoduo was struggling fiercely inside, unable to make a decision for a while.

Her mind was in chaos, as if filled with two voices.

One voice whispered in her ear—

"Sister, don’t agree. It’s clearly a trap set by that girl Ning Wan. Besides, you need to have some spine. After all, she is your rival!"

And another voice, as if in her right ear, said—

"You can’t. It’s Lu Jinyan’s mother asking you. Your future mother-in-law. Do you still want to be with Lu Jinyan after offending her?"

She could only take a deep breath, again and again, reminding herself to keep calm, absolutely calm.

After some thought, she said, "Auntie, it’s not that I don’t want to, but because... although I love making Western food, I’ve never studied it formally. Miss Ning is a perfectionist, surely very picky about food, afraid she won’t like what I make.

Moreover, since Miss Ning is a patient, what if she doesn’t like the food I make, or she has some dietary restrictions, and it makes her uncomfortable, what then?"

"How could it be? Ning Wan isn’t sensitive, just make a couple of dishes for her to try."

Yan Xue grew a bit anxious and pleaded bitterly:

"Ah, I know this is an unreasonable request, but you’re the only one I could think of. Ning Wan is really pitiful, her biological mother passed away many years ago, and when she was young, she went out for ice cream with her mom and that’s when the car accident happened. Her father has been distant ever since..."

Yan Xue spoke intermittently, eyes glimmering with tears, her eyes reddened.
