Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Mrs. Tao didn’t point it out.

Everything that Tan Rou had done so far had pleasantly surprised Mother Tao. She didn’t expect Tan Rou to be so tolerant of her younger brother.

She had thought about what to do if the two children were incompatible like fire and water. Now that she thought about it, she was really overthinking. Tan Rou was so obedient and outstanding, who wouldn’t like her?

Just let Xiao Rou slowly conquer her brother! She would only have to assist from the side.

Seeing that Tao Qi was already sitting at the table obediently, waiting for the meal to start, Mother Tao smiled and brought the porridge and vegetables that Tan Rou had prepared to Tao Qi.

Tao Qi frowned unhappily and said in disdain, “Mom, I don’t want to eat vegetables! It’s too bitter and they’re not delicious at all!”

Tao Qi’s reaction was within Mother Tao’s expectations. She didn’t force him and instead said to Father Tao and Tao Zheng, Today’s breakfast was prepared by Xiao Rou. She even told me that she had prepared these vegetables for Xiao Qi to detoxify. It’s a pity that Xiao Qi doesn’t like it, but we can’t let down Xiao Rou’s good intentions. Let’s eat it!”

Tao Qi’s expression froze when he heard that it was Tan Rou who cooked all these. He took a few more glances at the dish.

Tao Zheng raised an eyebrow and played along with his mother. “Sure, I’ve never had this kind of vegetable before. It seems like it can be used in medicine too. Tan Rou is so thoughtful. Let me try it.”

Mr. Tao smiled and glanced at Tao Qi before joining in. “It looks really delicious. Xiao Rou really has been nothing but nice to this brat! Even I, as his father, am a little jealous. I’m going to finish all of this!”

This time, Tao Qi was a little anxious. His eyes were fixed on the dish. When he saw father Tao and Tao Zheng each take a big bite, Tao Qi couldn’t help but say, “She made that for me!”

Tao Qi felt a little proud when he heard what he had just said.

Even his father was a little jealous of the dishes that Tan Rou had specially made for him. At least that woman was tactful and was the most attentive to him at home.

This made Tao Qi feel that he was especially valued and satisfied by the little vanity in his heart. However, when he saw that his father and brother had eaten so much of the dish, he felt a little distressed.

Tan Rou had made him vegetables that night as well and it was the best that he had ever eaten. After knowing that this green dish was made by Tan Rou, it didn’t seem as annoying as before. It should be delicious, right?

Seeing how anxious Tao Qi was, Mother Tao smiled mischievously and pretended to be understanding. “It’s fine, Xiao Qi. I know you don’t like vegetables. Although Tan Rou made this for you, I don’t want to force you.”

Tao Qi hesitated for a while in distress. Seeing that his brother was still eating in big mouthfuls, he completely forgot about his face and shouted, “I want to eat vegetables! Don’t fight with me!” With that, he quickly picked up the vegetables on the plate and ate them in big mouthfuls.

After the first bite, Tao Qi squinted his eyes in satisfaction. This taste was cool and refreshing with a unique sweetness. It was indeed different from other vegetables.

Mother Tao looked at Tao Qi in surprise. Everyone present knew how much Tao Qi hated vegetables. She had only wanted to try teasing him, thinking that he would at most take a bite and give up. She didn’t expect him to be so straightforward and eat a few mouthfuls without hesitation.

Tao Zheng also found it strange. “Tao Qi, don’t you hate vegetables the most? In the past, you would go to the bathroom and vomit for half a day if I tricked you into eating a mouthful. Why are you okay with this? You don’t have to pretend to be brave!”

Tao Zheng was afraid that Tao Qi was being teased by them and was only trying to be brave, worried that he would feel uncomfortable.

Unexpectedly, Tao Qi rolled his eyes and said with a little pride, “I will finish them. It’s not the first time I’ve eaten it. Her vegetables are delicious!”

“When have you ever tried your sister’s cooking?” Father Tao asked, feeling confused.

Tao Qi was still tsundere, and even a little proud. “I didn’t eat the night I came home and then I got hungry, so Tan Rou made me something to eat.” After saying that, he even raised his chin, looking very pleased.

His parents and brother liked Tan Rou so much, but Tan Rou only made good food for him. Tao Qi wanted to show off for some reason.

Realization dawned on Mrs. Tao. “That’s what I thought. When I woke up the next morning, I found traces of the kitchen being used. So, your sister was the one who cooked!”
