Chapter 1398 - 532: Ambiguity Intensifies!

Zhang Jingdong looked at Tong Xin’s slightly bashful yet almost coquettish demeanor, instantly amused.

"Alright, then I’ll go to your bedroom and chat with the parrot, is that okay?"

Tong Xin didn’t really want him to go into her bedroom, but she was even more reluctant to let him stay in the kitchen.

After all, he was already a bit handsy in the elevator, and when she’s cooking later, it would be even harder to guard against him. He might take advantage of her.

Choosing the lesser of two evils, she reluctantly nodded, "... Fine, but don’t mess with anything else!"

Seeing her agree, Zhang Jingdong quickly replied, "Absolutely, I promise!"

With that, he turned around and left the kitchen.

Watching his departing figure, Tong Xin suddenly felt that her decision might be even more mistaken.

But she couldn’t go after him to take back her words, so after a moment of hesitation, she simply started cooking faster.

Zhang Jingdong walked into Tong Xin’s bedroom with a leisurely expression on his face.

Although he had been here yesterday, today his mood was completely different.

Moreover, he noticed that compared to yesterday, Tong Xin’s bedroom today was distinctly brighter, accompanied by an indescribable fragrance.

His gaze swept over the closet, bed, clothes on the bed...

Huh? It turned out to be a black sports bra!

At this moment, Zhang Jingdong suddenly remembered something, and couldn’t help muttering to himself that no wonder when he was carrying her this morning, it felt a bit odd—she wasn’t wearing this!

He stared at the bra for a while, a mischievous smile gradually appearing at the corner of his mouth, and then turned to the parrot.

He walked over directly.

At that moment, the parrot unexpectedly said, "Tong Xin, cheer up."

Zhang Jingdong was first surprised, then quickly felt a strange pang of sympathy.

Turning to look out the window for a while, his heart moved, "I want to draw a prize."

"Host has accumulated 210 points of goodwill from the target person, meeting the lottery conditions, you may draw a prize!"

"Would Host like to initiate a lottery draw?"

"Yes."

"Lottery starts..."

"Prize One: Ability of a top-notch Beast Tamer."

"Prize Two: Zhang Mengwen’s zoological ability."

"Prize Three: Dong Jun’s veterinary ability."

"I choose Prize One!"

"Prize has been redeemed, Host has six more lottery opportunities. Would you like to keep drawing?"

"No."

Zhang Jingdong quickly thought for a moment, and then began teaching the parrot.

More than half an hour later, Tong Xin finished cooking.

Without even taking off her apron, she went directly to the bedroom door and said to Zhang Jingdong, "Dinner’s ready. Go wash your hands, it’s time to eat!"

Just then, Zhang Jingdong, with a face full of mystery, beckoned to her, "Come over for a second."

Tong Xin’s heart tightened, "Why?"

"Come over and you’ll know, hurry up!"

Tong Xin hesitated, feeling it wasn’t dangerous, then entered the bedroom. But she stopped at the foot of the bed.

"What’s happening?"

At this point, Zhang Jingdong pointed at the parrot and snapped his fingers.

Then the parrot merrily shouted, "Zhang Jingdong loves Tong Xin forever... Zhang Jingdong loves Tong Xin forever... Zhang Jingdong loves Tong Xin forever!"

Tong Xin was completely stunned upon hearing the first sentence.

It took a full minute before she finally reacted, then she said, both embarrassed and shocked, "You... when did you teach it?"

Zhang Jingdong chuckled, "Just now, how about that, impressive right?"

"That’s... that’s impossible, I taught it for two full months before it learned how to talk."

Zhang Jingdong felt a bit smug, "Let me remind you again, I’m a learned person. Not only can I adjust yin and yang, weigh with my hands, I can also chat with all sorts of animals and teach them to speak."

Tong Xin still felt a bit incredulous but had no choice but to accept it, then she turned to look at the parrot again.

And the parrot was still repeating "Zhang Jingdong loves Tong Xin forever," making Tong Xin’s face instantly flush with embarrassment, "You... why did you teach it to say this?"

Zhang Jingdong said confidently, "We’re already at this stage, what do I have to hide?"

"Besides, better it reminds you to be happy than constantly reminding you that someone will always love you. Because being loved is worth being happy, isn’t it?"

Tong Xin pursed her lips, ultimately defeated by Zhang Jingdong’s thick-skinned demeanor.

Seeing her blush again, Zhang Jingdong then said meaningfully, "Alright, let’s go eat, I’m really hungry now!"

Tong Xin deliberately avoided looking at Zhang Jingdong and just nodded, "Let’s go."

With that, she walked out of the bedroom on her own.

Watching her lovely figure, Zhang Jingdong smiled and then followed her out.

Zhang Jingdong washed his hands and then helped bring all the dishes to the table.

Once Tong Xin was seated, Zhang Jingdong took his chopsticks and tasted a bite of the cold potato shreds, then couldn’t help but praise, "Mmm! Nice, crunchy texture, perfectly balanced sweet and sour."

"And simpler dishes often better reflect cooking skills; you managed to make this dish so well, it shows your culinary skills are quite good!"

Receiving the compliment, a small smile quietly appeared at the corner of Tong Xin’s mouth.

Zhang Jingdong then tried other dishes and the scallion pancakes wrapped around eggs, which he also found delicious, so he praised Tong Xin again.

Because of her busy work schedule, Tong Xin normally cooks once or twice a week since her company has a cafeteria,
