Chapter 106: There Are Ingredients, but Nobody to Cook
Zi Yi hastily chased after him, but she could no longer see the masked man.
Just as she was about to sense where he had gone, she saw several cars speeding in her direction.
The front car stopped in front of her.
Zi Yi narrowed her eyes as she saw the man who alighted. “Lu Jingye?”
Lu Jingye checked her all over and nodded as he asked, “My men found out that two killers came to your place. Are you alright?”
Zi Yi looked at him with her eyes flashing like lightning.
This man’s timing was impeccable. He had arrived just on time after the fight ended.
“What’s wrong?”
“They were taken away.” Zi Yi touched her stomach and recalled that she had yet to eat. She turned around, walked to the gates and was about to shut it, when she noticed Lu Jingye standing behind her.
Zi Yi’ turned around and with a smile, she asked, “Aren’t you going to send someone to chase after them?”
“They are already chasing.”
After he said that, he lowered his head and looked at her. “You haven’t eaten?”
“That’s right.” Zi Yi smiled like a fox. “Do you want to come in?”
Lu Jingye pursed his lips and stared into her eyes for a few seconds before he nodded.
Zi Yi made space for him, turned around, and walked inside.
Lu Jingye followed behind her.
When they arrived in the living room, Zi Yi said to the housekeeping robot, “There’s nothing for you to do here. Go out.”
“Yes, Master.”
After the several robots left, Zi Yi blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at him expectantly. “Lu Jingye, there are ingredients in my house but nobody to cook.”
Lu Jingye’s fingers twitched. All of a sudden, he had the urge to mess up her hair.
When did the young lady learn to act cutely?
“What ingredients are there?”
Lu Jingye took off his suit jacket and placed it on the sofa before walking into the kitchen. Zi Yi followed behind him and said, “I don’t know. The robots placed the order online.”
Zi Yi stopped when she followed him into the kitchen.
Lu Jingye turned to look at her. He did not intend to let her skip out on the preparation work this time. “Come in and wash the vegetables.”
“I don’t think… that it’s a good idea?”
Lu Jingye first steamed the rice. He then checked out what ingredients there were in the plastic bag. He took out two green peppers and a handful of vegetables and passed them to her.
Zi Yi took the vegetables and stood near the sink as she washed them carefully.
Lu Jingye stood next to her and sliced the meat.
There was no conversation between them. While she was washing, Zi Yi suddenly recalled the dozens of clothes and shoes she received and looked at Lu Jingye’s side profile.
The light landed on his face, leaving behind a shadow. It added a trace of mystery to his handsome face.
He who had an aura of nobleness and strictness did not appear out of place in the kitchen. Instead, he gave off an indescribable charm.
“Lu Jingye.” Zi Yi suddenly called out to him.
“Yes?” he responded with a deep and magnetic voice, causing Zi Yi’s heart to quiver.
She gazed at him with a light in her eyes and said, “It would definitely be great to have a man like you as a boyfriend.”
After she said that, she placed the vegetables in his hand and was about to pounce on him.
Lu Jingye stopped her with a solemn expression. “Continue washing the vegetables.”
“…”
All of her lovely thoughts were dispelled by his serious voice.
Zi Yi pouted discontentedly. “You are so boring.”
Having said that, she continued washing the vegetables.
After half an hour, Lu Jingye brought out the last dish.
Zi Yi had already set the table.
She sat down, looked at Lu Jingye, and asked half-heartedly, “Lu Jingye, do you wanna join me?”
Originally, he was not hungry. When he saw her cute little expression, he sat down.
He picked up the chopsticks, grabbed some food, and finished it before he responded with a hum.
Zi Yi: “…”
