Mu Ning and System: "..." Wow.
[Host, your son hates you.]
'Tell me something new.' Mu Ning rolled her eyes internally.
[Are you going to agree?]
Mu Ning froze for a brief second before sighing, 'Hey... though I have some feelings for my kids... my crush is important too. I want to give it a try, and if it doesn't work out... I will walk out and fulfil their wish.'
[Host, there are many excellent suitors lining up for you; why hang yourself to a single tree?]
Mu Ning thought about the reverse harem worlds and shivered. 'Don't mention it. I would be thrilled to just have these two babies and my crush as my husband.'
With a smile, she shook her head. "That might not be possible."
Warren pursed his lips, and a hint of mockingness appeared in his eyes. "Why pretend to act all nice when you are still rotten to the core?"
Mu Ning chuckled, "Hey, if just one action defines whether or not I am pretending, then your observation skills aren't good."
Warren fell silent at Mu Ning's logic.
"How about this? You give me a chance to prove myself, and if you don't feel the change, I will leave and divorce your father as you have claimed."
Gwen tugged on Warren's shirt, and the next second, both the kids stepped back, and the door was shut.
Mu Ning stared at the door before standing up and walking away.
In between, she even heard a few maids' laughter.
"Hey, look, she is acting all innocent now. What bullshit did she spew? Forgiveness? Apology? She used to abuse her kids like there was no tomorrow."
"Haha! Don't mention it! I wonder just how thick her skin is."
Mu Ning halted; her eyes lazily looked at the maids who pretended to do the chores and laughed.
"This mansion has too many dogs; guess I have to call the dog control unit."
The maid's face turned red with fury; however, they didn't dare confront Mu Ning head-on. They could only curse their heart.
'What has happened? Why did this Mu Ning seem to have gained a backbone? How hateful!'
Mu Ning smirked seeing them enduring their rage and continued, "Next time I see you all disrespecting me, I will use all my power in this house just to get you all kicked out."
Her stern words made the maids shiver in fear.
In that instant, the maids understood something... Mu Ning had changed.
She wasn't as timid and airheaded as before. Yet they were unwilling to accept her changes and thought.
'She would return to her usual self. Maybe the accident had made her bolder! When Master Liam comes back, he would teach her a lesson and she would quiet down.'
Seeing the maids lowering their heads, Mu Ning was satisfied and started to find a way toward the kitchen.
With the system's help, when Mu Ning arrived at the entrance of the kitchen, the chef making the nutrient pills stopped her.
The chef's name was Wu Jiao. His cold voice echoed, "Miss Mu, please don't take any step further; otherwise, I will have to kick you out of the mansion."
Mu Ning arched a brow in curiosity while the system reminded,
[Host, the transmigrator occupying your body had tried to poison everyone, and from then onwards, she was denied of entry in the kitchen.]
"Sigh." Mu Ning shook her head in dismay.
The evil forces truly played dirty, huh?
"Tell me something I haven't done yet." Mu Ning murmured under her breath before looking at the chef with a smile.
"I just need to make my own food; why don't you take away all the food ingredients and food from here? In that way, even if I want to tamper with the food, I won't have the chance."
At Mu Ning's suggestion, Wu Jiao paused, his eyes turned razor sharp, but seeing no change on her face, he conceded and asked the servants nearby to move everything.
Once they were done, they left the kitchen. The only one left behind was Wu Jiao; he had stayed behind to supervise her.
'Let's see what kind of game you would play this time. Just one more mistake Mu Ning, just one more and you will be kicked out!'
Mu Ning, aware of the piercing gaze, calmly went to her room and pretended to retrieve ingredients from there.
Wu Jiao stared at the ingredients with no surprise.
Though the interstellar era is still lacking vegetables and items like flour, an artificial version of them is present.
What did surprise him was the texture and color of the vegetables. It was so rich and vibrant that they almost seemed real...
'Is this her new trick? She wants to impress Master Liam with food? How naive! Even the top chefs have only figured out a few dishes, but even those dishes can't compare to the flavored nutrients! She is bound to present herself as a disgrace!'
