227 A Grown Woman Can’t Be Kept At Home

After Zhao Qiang got out of the car, Wang Lin sighed and said, “A grown woman can’t be kept at home. Ke’er, you have good taste; Zhao Qiang has a good character. I think he would do anything to achieve his goal. Normally, I would say that you shouldn’t keep someone like that by your side, but this time, I think Zhao Qiang handled things well and proved himself.

“What I value most is that he respects you. He won’t act arbitrarily when things happen. He seems like the type who discusses things with you so that you can brave through difficult times ahead together. Only with this will you be able to stay together for a long time.”

There were some things that Wang Lin did not say. Namely, about how good Zhao Qiang was at killing three birds with one stone. He gave face to the Wang Corporation while largely protecting the interests of Yao Corporation. He eased the relationship between a father and son. He won the bet, and even displayed his ability and character, instilling a wave of good impressions in the Wang patriarch.

If they could get such a clear-headed and intelligent son-in-law, it would be of great benefit to the Wang family.

Wang Ke’er nodded and said, “We just got together. We haven’t thought about marriage yet.”

Wang Lin looked at Wang Ke’er and said, “Huh. You flirt.”

Wang Ke’er was dumbfounded.

Wang Ke’er seemed stunned. “Father, to think you actually keep up with online terminology. You even know the word flirt.”

Wang Lin said seriously, “You better hold on to Zhao Qiang. But it doesn’t matter. Even if you mess up, you can be married to other families.”

Wang Ke’er was speechless. What kind of magic potion did Zhao Qiang give her father? She had thought that Zhao Qiang would not be able to pass her father’s expectations, yet he managed to pass them easily!

…

When Wang Ke’er returned home, she was in a very good mood and happily walked into the kitchen.

Wang Ke’er thought that Zhao Qiang would be tired from work, but she also knew that he would still come home to cook for her regardless. Today, she would help him prepare the dishes so that he would have an easier time cooking when he came back.

Wang Ke’er opened the fridge and saw a pineapple and a cantaloupe. She was a little puzzled by this. ‘Why didn’t he buy the cut ones? It’s troublesome to cut them up at home…’

However, the fruits that were cut by the supermarkets were not very clean. Wang Ke’er took out the pineapple and prepared to clean it up first. As she peeled the pineapple, she could not help but laugh when she thought of what Zhao Qiang’s surprised face would look like.

When she was done cutting the pineapple, Zhao Qiang had not returned yet. Wang Ke’er took out the cantaloupe, cut it up, and put the pieces on a plate. Just as she was about to bring the cantaloupe into the living room, Zhao Qiang walked in.

When he saw the horrendously cut cantaloupe on the plate, Zhao Qiang stared at Wang Ke’er with a complicated expression.

“I finished cutting the pineapple and the cantaloupe!” Wang Ke’er chimed. “Come have some.”

Zhao Qiang’s expression became even more complicated as he asked, “You also cut the pineapple?”

Wang Ke’er saw that Zhao Qiang did not look that happy about this. Instead, he had a complicated expression on his face, and she wilted.

“Why?” Wang Ke’er asked. “Is there a problem?”

Zhao Qiang took the plate and placed it on the table. Then, he picked up a piece of the cantaloupe and fed it to Wang Ke’er. Zhao Qiang touched Wang Ke’er’s hand and said, “Sister, you’ve worked hard. In the future, leave such things to me. Your hands are so beautiful, there’s no need to ruin them with menial work.”

“As long as you like it,” Wang Ke’er said with a smile.

Zhao Qiang picked out all the pineapples and placed them on another plate. Zhao Qiang said, “You cut these for me, so I want to eat them all by myself. You can’t snatch them from me.”

Wang Ke’er did not listen to Zhao Qiang, and she immediately moved to snatch it. She said, “I want some, too.”

Zhao Qiang gently stroked Wang Ke’er’s hair. He said, “Sister, eat some of the other fruits first. I’ll go and cook now.”

Zhao Qiang had just entered the kitchen when the phone he left on the table rang. She picked up the phone and wanted to give it to Zhao Qiang, but she accidentally unlocked the screen. ‘Zhao Qiang’s phone doesn’t have a password!’

After unlocking it, she saw Zhao Qiang’s list of saved videos. The first one was titled “An appetizing fried rice your girlfriend would enjoy!”. The second one was “A cantaloupe cake with a surprise! Guaranteed to touch her heart!”.

Wang Ke’er’s face instantly turned red.

[For pineapple fried rice, you need to cut the pineapple in half, hollow out the pineapple meat, and then use the remaining pineapple shell as a bowl for fried rice…]

[…The cantaloupe cake needs to have the fruit pulp hollowed out, then you make the cake inside. After it’s done, it’s not only beautiful, but also very tasty…]

In other words, the fruit shell was more useful than the flesh, but Wang Ke’er had just peeled off all the skin and thrown it away…

Wang Ke’er felt a little guilty and walked into the kitchen with a pitiful expression. She opened the kitchen door and immediately jumped into Zhao Qiang’s arms.

Zhao Qiang asked with a smile, “Acting spoiled all of a sudden? What’s wrong?”

“I’m sorry,” Wang Ke’er said pitifully. “I ruined the surprise you were going to prepare!”
