Shi Huan paused for a moment, âMr. Chu, if you want to eat something, you could tell me in advance.â
Translation of her words: How am I supposed to know if you donât tell me?
The reason why she often went to this particular restaurant recently was that it was conveniently located between the hospital and her home. It was near and saves time and energy.
She admitted, if she could be lazy, she would be lazy.
Chu Xiuhuang gave her a disgusted look, âDonât you know what I want to eat?â
âWhat?â
Chu Xiuhuang leaned his tongue against his cheek, his phoenix eyes slightly squinted, a sly smile crossed his face, the expression on his face suddenly became somewhat mischievous, âI want to eat⦠home-cooked meals.â
Home-cooked meals?
Shi Huan immediately said, âThen Iâll ask Aunt Wu toâ¦â
âNo.â
âThen Iâll mention it to the old man and let Chu Familyâs servantsâ¦â
âAlso no.â
Shi Huan frowned, ââ¦â
Next second.
Master Chu commanded, âYou cook for me.â
Upon hearing these words, Shi Huan immediately refused, âI donât have time.â
âNow that you donât have to manage the companyâs business, your full-time job is to take care of me in the hospital, so how come you donât have time?â After speaking, Chu Xiuhuang walked to the sofa and sat down with his legs crossed, âFrom tomorrow on, make the meals at home and bring them to the hospital.â
Listening to this made Shi Huan feel tired.
Now she has to pick up little Luoluo from school every morning and evening. If she has to cook the meals herself, do grocery shopping, wash vegetables, chop vegetables, cook vegetables⦠it would be exhausting!
âMr. Chu, my cooking skills are just so-so.â
âI donât mind.â
âMy home is too far from the hospital.â
âIâll give you time.â
âI still have to take care of my sister.â
As soon as Chu Xiuhuang heard the two words âsisterâ, his handsome face darkened, âSend your sister back home to her parents.â
âMy younger brother is currently abroad.â
âWhen will he return home?â
âIt will be a while.â
âThen send her to other relatives.â
âBut she likes to stay with me.â
After going back and forth, Chu Xiuhuangâs handsome face darkened.
How could he be so confrontational?
Grinding his back teeth, he said, âI will give you a fivefold pay raise.â
Shi Huan immediately agreed, âOkay.â
Chu Xiuhuang: ââ¦â
Damn!
Can this be more real?
Did you agree immediately after hearing about a fivefold pay raise?
All the reasons she said before were all lies, right?
Shi Huan picked up her bag, âMr. Chu, starting from tomorrow, I will bring you food that Iâve cooked, just tell me if you need anything.â
Looking at her behaving like a miser, Chu Xiuhuang pursed his lips, snorted haughtily, âHmm.â
âThen Iâm leaving first.â
As Shi Huan turned to leave, there were knocks on the door.
When she opened the door, she saw Huo Jingshen standing outside, even holding a dark blue scarfâ¦
Chu Xiuhuangâs mouth twitched.
Damn it, brother⦠are you here to interrogate me?
Huo Jingshen took long strides to the sofa, squinted his eyes, and asked directly, âWhere did this scarf come from?â
Chu Xiuhuang sat with his legs crossed and replied nonchalantly, âA servant in my house brought it.â
âHeh heh.â Huo Jingshen sneered.
Shi Huan couldnât help but stop in her tracks.
She was a little worried that these two would start fightingâ¦
âWhich servant?â Huo Jingshen asked again.
âAunt Li.â
âCall her.â
Chu Xiuhuang was taken aback, âWhy should I call?â
âWhat do you think?â With narrowed black eyes, Huo Jingshen was very mocking.
Chu Xiuhuang: ââ¦â
Under someoneâs oppressive gaze, he had no choice but to pick up his mobile phone and dial the home phone number.
It was answered quickly.
Chu Xiuhuang asked her, âAunt Li, who prepared the clothes you sent today?â
Aunt Li said, âThe old master instructed me to prepare everything.â
âWhat about that scarf?â
âThe young lady gave it to me. She said it was bought for the young master, and she brought it to the hospital with me.â After speaking, she cautiously asked, âYoung Master, is there any problem?â
ââ¦â
Chu Xiuhuang hung up the phone immediately and then quickly cleared himself, âBrother, I really didnât know.â
How unjust.
Today is the weekend. In the afternoon, a few of his brothers came to the ward. Chu Jingyi and the servants happened to bring him some things.
Chu Jingyi only stayed for a few minutes before leaving.
But later when Huo Jingshen was going to leave, he found that his clothes and scarf had been stained by something.
His clothes were all on the sofa. Chu Xiuhuang didnât pay much attention as there were many people there. He kindly found a set of new clothes for him, including that unopened scarf.
Thinking about it nowâ¦
âI see.â Huo Jingshen threw down the scarf, âYou can slowly wear this yourself.â
âDid your little girl misunderstand?â Chu Xiuhuang raised his eyebrow, finding this completely inconceivable, âShe even remembers clearly what scarf you wear? Is she pickled in vinegar? Did she install a radar on you? Or is there a ghost in you?â
It goes without saying that Chu Xiuhuangâs mouth⦠really asks for a beating.
Shi Huan, standing by the side, could not help but smile, his lips curling up.
Huo Jingshen chuckled, âShe has me in her heart, thatâs why she notices every detail. What would a single dog like you understand?â
Single dog Chu Xiuhuang: ââ¦â
Critical hit!
He wanted to hit someone!
Shi Huan too: ââ¦â
This serving of dog food, accepted!

Nancheng University.
Su Wanwan returned to the dormitory and went directly into Mo Weiyiâs room.
Chen Jin had just finished makeup classes, and seeing her, he smiled faintly, âMiss Su.â
Mo Weiyi quickly said, âWanwan, I brought you a box of strawberries.â
Strawberries again?
Su Wanwan walked over, âSo many?â
âRong An brought them.â Mo Weiyi handed a box to Chen Jin, âTeacher Chen, you bring this home to eat.â
Chen Jin was flattered, âThank you, Miss Mo.â
âIs Rong Anâs injury all healed?â Su Wanwan had heard from Mo Weiyi before that Rong An had been severely injured by Mo Familyâs house rules and had been healing for nearly two months.
âHeâs all healed now, just left after having dinner with me.â Mo Weiyi put on her coat, âIâll see Teacher Chen out.â
âOkay,â
Su Wanwan nodded, sitting there, she took a bite of a strawberry.
The air conditioner was turned on in the room, and before long, she felt hot and simply took off her coat and scarf.
But when Mo Weiyi came back, she immediately pointed to her neck, âGood job, good job, you lied to me!â
âWhat?â Su Wanwan looked confused.
âYou lied to me about going back for dinner, you clearly went back to be sweet with your Huo CEO!â
Su Wanwan quickly covered her neck.
Damn!
She forgot about all the red marks Huo Jingshen had left on her neck.
Mo Weiyi looked at her with a face full of resentment, âIâm having a cold war with my husband right now, are you deliberately trying to provoke me?â
Su Wanwan was speechless, and also felt a bit guilty, âNot at all.â
âYou canât even hide it with strawberries!â
Su Wanwan was startled, quickly changed the subject, âBy the way, how did your talk with President Xiao go today?â
Mo Weiyiâs face became even more resentful, âNot great.â
Su Wanwan blinked, âWasnât he supposed to pick you up to go home today?â
âIâm not going back.â Having said that, Mo Weiyi turned around abruptly, âIâm going to take a shower.â
âOh.â
It seemed like their talk didnât go well, could these two really keep this cold war going until the end?
Su Wanwan didnât believe it.
But over the next several days, Mo Weiyiâs behavior hit her hard.
Mo Weiyi got up early with her every day, ran, ate breakfast, went to class, stayed in the reading roomâ¦
Unless Su Wanwan mentioned it, Mo Weiyi would never bring up the name Xiao Yebai.
And Xiao Yebai never came to the school again.
Su Wanwan felt relieved and somewhat worried.
Because Mo Weiyi was studying very well, but obviously, compared to before, she had become a lot quieter.
â¦
A week passed quickly.
Today, on Friday afternoon, just as Mo Weiyi was about to go to the dining hall with Su Wanwan, she received a call from Xiao Yebai.
Looking at the four words on the phone⦠âDear Xiaobaiâ, Mo Weiyi suddenly felt as if she were dreaming.
âWhy arenât you answering the call?â Su Wanwan asked.
Mo Weiyi gave her a look, then took the phone to the balcony outside.
âHello.â
âGrandpa asked us to come home for dinner tonight.â The manâs voice was as deep and calm as ever, devoid of any emotional fluctuations.
âOkay.â Mo Weiyiâs voice was equally flat, she even admired herself.
ââ¦â
Indeed, the phone was silent.
Mo Weiyi pursed her lips, and asked, âAnything else?â
âWhat time should I pick you up?â
âNo need.â Mo Weiyi continued to respond coldly, âRong An will take me home.â
ââ¦â So the phone was once again silent.
Mo Weiyi couldnât stand this silence, she said directly, âIf thereâs nothing else, Iâm hanging up.â
ââ¦â
She frowned, just about to say something, âBeepâ and the call was already ended.
**
7 p.m., Mo Family mansion.
Xiao Yebai came back alone, which didnât surprise the Mo Family, only Surprisingly, Xiao Yebai returned earlier than Mo Weiyi, which was rarely the case before.
In the living room, Mo Yaoxiong looked at his son-in-law, âYebai, why didnât Weiyi come with you?â
