At six in the evening, Wang Yue arrived at the restaurant designated by Guo Hong.
Wang Yue, you can do it!
After giving herself a pep talk and taking several deep breaths, Wang Yue walked into the restaurant with a smile.
This was her first ti eting a client since she started working in sales.
It felt a bit like being thrown in at the deep end, but she had to nail this client, for the sake of her job, and for that unreliable guy!
Su Chen thought it was Qiu Jinghan coming to invite him to dinner, but surprisingly, it was Lin Xi...
"Um, my aunt is busy today..."
"Oh, got it," Su Chen replied casually.
"What I an is, there's no one to cook tonight..."
"Then, I'll order takeout," Su Chen said, picking up his phone.
"Don't... I have a phobia of takeout..." Lin Xi quickly waved her hands.
Su Chen sowhat understood why Lin Xi had co to find him.
"Wait a second, I'll go down and cook."
"No, no, you don't have to do it, I can cook... it's just that I can't turn on the gas stove... could you help check it out..."
Seeing the usually domineering CEO stamring, Su Chen found it sowhat amusing.
So there's sothing you can't do?
Don't you usually speak like a machine gun without pausing? How co you are stuttering today?
However, this Lin Xi, seeming less imposing and more innocently graceful, gave off the vibe of a clumsy neighborhood big sister.
Since his beloved wife was asking for help, Su Chen was of course happy to assist.
Besides, he wanted to see what Jiangdu's top beauty looked like when cooking.
He followed Lin Xi downstairs.
After checking, Su Chen couldn't help but laugh.
It turned out the gas valve was turned off, probably for safety reasons, likely done by Qiu Jinghan when she left.
He turned on the valve and then rotated the stove knob.
Click!
A fla ignited.
Seeing how easily Su Chen had managed to light the stove, Lin Xi's pretty face blushed slightly.
So it was that simple, how co I didn't know?
Actually, in her heart, Lin Xi really didn't want to ask Su Chen for help.
But besides Su Chen, there was no one else at ho...
Seeing his CEO wife looking dazed, Su Chen said with a smile, "Do you want to cook?"
"No need, no need, I can do it." Asking Su Chen to check the stove was embarrassing enough; she wouldn't ask him to cook.
Su Chen just shrugged indifferently.
Seemingly to prove she really could, Lin Xi took an apron and put it on.
Then she tried to tie the apron behind her back.
After several unsuccessful attempts,
Su Chen shook his head, walked over, stood behind Lin Xi, and dominantly took the apron strings from her hands, tying them for Lin Xi.
Tying the strings around Lin Xi's slim waist, Su Chen found himself montarily stunned.
Oh my goodness, I never realized my wife's waist was so slim.
Because their relationship was tense, they almost never looked at each other properly.
At this mont, Su Chen realized, his wife was truly a rare beauty.
With his height advantage, and standing behind Lin Xi, he could see her flawless, snowy neck.
Perhaps feeling the warm breath from Su Chen's nose, Lin Xi, startled, quickly walked to the counter.
Su Chen then snapped out of it.
It was sowhat embarrassing; he had gotten distracted.
But, Lin Xi really was beautiful, no less than his sister-in-law.
His sister-in-law had a wild beauty about her, while Lin Xi had the unique charm of a modern city beauty.
Who knows which lucky guy will have such a woman in the future?
Su Chen couldn't help thinking this in his heart.
Although he is Lin Xi's husband legally, sadly, he knows Lin Xi doesn't think highly of him.
And he, too, doesn't really like Lin Xi's domineering personality.
He prefers won with the personality of a fiery empress.
Of course, the fiery empress does not show her true self in front of him.
After all, could a woman whose na includes the word "fiery" be gentle and delicate?
Speaking of cooking, it's actually just boiling noodles.
This is also the only thing Lin Xi knows how to cook.
But, it has been a long ti since she last cooked noodles, and that too was a failure.
What's the first step supposed to be?
Add water, it should be adding water...
Then...
Put in the noodles, yes, that's it.
Lin Xi rembered this is how her aunt used to cook noodles.
Then, Su Chen watched dumbfounded as Lin Xi put the noodles into cold water.
I an, sister, are you trying to cook the noodles or soak them?
It seems that the gloriously successful businesswoman goddess is still at skill level zero in cooking.
But that's normal, if a business queen could also cook, would there be any role left for other won?
Then cos the waiting, finally, the water boils.
Huffing and puffing.
After adding noodles, the water tumbled and imdiately, countless bubbles popped out of the pot.
Lin Xi was frightened.
"Ah! Help!"
Su Chen quickly went over, turned off the stove, and chuckled, "Let handle it."
How embarrassing.
I feel like crying.
Why is it so hard to cook noodles, was that guy just mocking ?
Su Chen disposed of the ruined noodles and decided to take matters into his own hands.
Opening the fridge, he glanced inside. There was hardly anything left, just a big cabbage and a few green onions.
Looks like it's noodles for dinner tonight.
Upon opening the lower part of the fridge, he found a small piece of at.
Let's make so scallion oil noodles then.
Su Chen quickly got into action, slicing ginger, smashing garlic, cutting the at into strips—all in one go.
Lin Xi was almost dumbfounded; is this guy cooking or performing tricks?
n like to show off in front of beautiful won, Su Chen is no exception, especially since Lin Xi has always looked down on him.
While sautéing the at, he purposefully directed the flas into the pan, a long fla shooting up instantly.
"Ah!" Lin Xi was scared again, quickly hiding behind Su Chen and peering out from behind him.
Twenty minutes later, two bowls of fragrant scallioned oil noodles were ready.
Even just the sll seed delicious.
Lin Xi originally wanted to act like she wasn't interested in eating, but couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
"Go ahead, you little glutton," Su Chen said, sowhat amused.
Finally, when the two of them ate together, it wasn't an awkward silence.
Watching Lin Xi lower her head and elegantly eat the noodles, Su Chen finally felt a touch of warmth.
…
Arriving at the restaurant, Wang Yue gently knocked on the private room door.
The door opened, inside were about five n, and two won.
Relieved to see won present, Wang Yue thought nothing serious should happen.
"Is this Yina's Wang Yue, Miss Wang? Co, co, please take a seat!" A middle-aged fat man warmly pulled out a chair near him for Wang Yue.
