Jiang Yuning blinked. A few seconds later, he shook his head.
âWhy?â
Nian Xi was unhappy. It was her first time being rejected by him.
âI donât like being a matchmaker.â Jiang Yuning shook his head. âI donât want to stick my nose in other peopleâs business.â
âBut Fang Qi is really nice. Think about it. He put in a good word for you in front of me,â Nian Xi said. âIf sheâs single too, I think we can introduce them to each other. They can always be friends. The social circle of scientists can be rather narrow. You donât meet a lot of people, so maybe she needs us to introduce her to new friends.â
Jiang Yuning furrowed his delicate brows. At last, he dropped his head and said, âLet me ask her.â
He spent a short while on his phone. A couple of minutes later, he said, âXinxin said no.â
âXinxin?â Nian Xi raised her brows.
âHm.â Jiang Yuning didnât detect the weird look in Nian Xiâs eyes.
âDo you guys know each other well? You called her in such an intimate way.â Nian Xi curved her lips downward. âAre you really just work pals?â
âIâve called her that since we were little.â Jiang Yuningâs innocent eyes were filled with confusion. âIs something wrong with that?â
âSo you have a childhood sweetheart too?â The longer the conversation lasted, the more information Nian Xi got out of him. She wasnât happy to know about it.
âYouâve never mentioned that to me,â she said.
âThatâs not important. Sheâs not my ex-girlfriend.â Jiang Yuning started to set up the robot.
Nian Xi blamed herself. She should have guessed it. Whoever made such a cute and exquisite robot must be a girl. Jiang Yuningâs friend was so capable. What on earth did that girl have in her head? Nian Xi believed the girl must be much, much smarter than herself.
âDoes she like you?â
âWhy would she like me?â Jiang Yuning was more and more confused. âXi, are you jealous?â
Of course, she wouldnât admit it.
âEh-hem. How is that possible?â she said with a serious face. âI have male friends, like Fang Qi and Xiao Si. Iâve known them for many years, so I understand.â
âHm.â Jiang Yuning nodded. âXi, what do you want for dinner?â
âHow about eggplant stew and garlic pork ribs? Thatâs all we got.â Nian Xi glanced at the robotâs introduction on her phone.
âOkay.â Jiang Yuning nodded.
At dinner time, the robot was cooking in the kitchen, while Nian Xi was watching. The robot really cooked like a chef, and the food didnât look bad. At last, the robot cleaned the top of the kitchen range.
Nian Xi couldnât help but take a picture of the food and show it off in her WeChat momentââNingning gave me a robot chef as a gift. The food is amazing.â
The robot chef was so special and impressive that she got hundreds of âlikesâ in a short time.
Luosang left her commentââI am so, so jealous of you.â
Xiao SiââDamn! Seriously? Can I have one?â
Murong ChengââAmazing.
Even Mommy is jealous of you.â
Grandma NianââMy future grandson-in-law is wonderful. Grandma wants to try the food.â
Yan SuââItâs so nice to be the girlfriend of a scientist.â
Nian QingyunââI donât think the food tastes good.â
Nian Junting replied to LuosangââDo you have a problem with Sister Lanâs food? Sister Lan wants you to come home. She needs to talk to you.â
Mo LiuxiââMy food is way better than this.â
Many people left their comments under the post. Feeling the attention and jealousy that came to her wave by wave, Nian Xi was really happy. She invited everybody to come to her place for a meal.
