That's right, Shen Xiu did it on purpose. She wanted outsiders to see how stingy Ye Qiu was with her, so she deliberately didn't make dinner.
But she didn't realize that by doing so, people's impression of her was extremely poor. Even if there are conflicts between husband and wife, they shouldn't explode in front of outsiders, right? And if you didn't want to cook, you should've mentioned it on the phone earlier. Waiting until they arrive to show a sulky face, isn't that embarrassing for them and the professor?
The students looked at Ye Qiu and indeed saw his face slightly darken, seeming quite embarrassed. He sighed helplessly, "I didn't think it through. I should have told you in advance. Please come in, I'll get started on cooking. Don't underestimate me; I'm not only good at experiments; I'm not bad at cooking either."
His self-deprecating joke eased the tension somewhat, and Li Hao took the lead in entering the house.
