Chapter 68

"Rong Yan, did you cook all these yourself?"

Yun Shuo looked in surprise at the woman standing in front of him with a full smile. He thought a career-oriented strong woman like Rong Yan would disdain to cook in the kitchen herself.

"Yes." Rong Yan smiled embarrassedly: "But my skills are average, don't dislike it."

"You worked so hard to cook for me, how could I dislike it?"

Yun Shuo smiled and looked at the dining table, discovering that the dishes Rong Yan brought out were all things he liked to eat, and even the fruits and snacks completely matched his taste.

Soon, his gaze fell on the osmanthus lotus root starch taro balls among them.

He didn't usually like eating sweets, but he liked osmanthus lotus root starch taro balls because this was a snack his grandmother often made for him when he was a child.

As long as he was unhappy, his grandmother would bring out a bowl of osmanthus lotus root starch taro balls, and if it was the season when osmanthus flowers were in full bloom, his grandmother would even use fresh osmanthus flowers as a garnish.

"Hurry and taste it; if it's not good, you don't have to force yourself."

Hearing Rong Yan's soft voice, Yun Shuo moved his gaze away from the osmanthus lotus root starch taro balls, and then his gaze fell on the other dishes.

"How did you know I love eating charcoal-grilled lamb chops?"

Yun Shuo was somewhat amazed: "And this Mapo tofu, it's also what I like..."

"Wow, Manager Rong actually even knows President Yun's taste."

The employees silently eating melons around the cafeteria had expressions of "I've been fed" upon hearing this.

"Some people even claim to be President Yun's fiancée, yet don't even know President Yun is allergic to seafood."

"Oh my, apologizing by treating people like a trash can, while someone just sending things sends them right into people's hearts. Even if President Yun's brain were just a little bit normal, he would know how to choose."

"Haha, if it were me, I wouldn't have the face to stay here."

"You! You just wait for me!"

Hearing the voices around her, An Xingyue's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. She glared fiercely at Rong Yan with a sharp gaze and left in anger.

"Does anyone want to add some dishes?"

Yun Shuo called over the secretary who was eating not far away: "Distribute these things An Xingyue brought to everyone."

Although these dishes didn't match his taste, they were the craftsmanship of a five-star chef after all; wasting food is shameful.

"Thank you, President Yun!"

"Then we won't be polite!"

The melon-eating crowd not only watched a good show for free, but now had delicious food, and they were all grinning from ear to ear.

At this moment, many people felt that the rumors were wrong, and Yun Shuo was not as rigid and unreasonable as rumored in the company.

"What about these?"

After the secretary distributed the dishes An Xingyue brought to the nearby employees, she looked at the plates and bowls Rong Yan brought and asked.

"I can finish all of these!"

Yun Shuo stared at the secretary vigilantly as if guarding his food, afraid the dishes in front of him would be taken away.

"But..." The secretary looked at the tabletop in confusion.

These dishes, even four people probably couldn't finish them, right?

"If you can't finish them, pack them up for me to take back as a midnight snack!"

Under Rong Yan's expectant gaze, Yun Shuo scooped a spoonful of Mapo tofu and then immediately gave a thumbs up: "Rong Yan, how come I didn't know you had the skills of a master chef before?"

"If you opened a shop, I would definitely patronize it every day."

"Really..." Rong Yan lowered her head embarrassedly: "As long as you like it..."

"I like it, these dishes all match my taste. Don't stand there, sit down and eat together!"

Yun Shuo greeted Rong Yan to sit down, then asked: "Did you make that osmanthus lotus root starch taro balls yourself too?"

"Mm."

Rong Yan nodded and said to Yun Shuo: "I remember hearing you chat with other classmates in college, mentioning that your grandmother often made this for you, but what I made definitely isn't as good as what's in the shop..."

The movement of Yun Shuo's chopsticks paused, and he looked up at Rong Yan in disbelief.

"W-what's wrong..."

Rong Yan felt guilty under Yun Shuo's gaze: "Should I not have acted on my own..."

"No!" Yun Shuo hurriedly explained: "I just didn't expect that you would remember a casual remark of mine until now."

If Yun Shuo agreed to date Rong Yan before, it was because of Xu Tian's suggestion and his own guilt that he couldn't respond.

But at this moment, he was truly moved.

Even he didn't remember that he had once told his classmates about this, but Rong Yan remembered it and even specially learned this dessert.

So, this is the feeling of being loved...

So, love is not just endless apologies and compromises; it can also be so romantic.

Xu Tian had been acting as a professional background board on the side, silently burying his head in eating the set meal on his own plate.

Having been invisibly fed who knows how much dog food, at this moment, he suddenly missed his own wife...

Near the end of work in the afternoon, Xu Rixin called Xu Tian into his office.

"What's the matter with me?"

After entering Xu Rixin's office, Xu Tian went straight to the point.

Xu Rixin maintained his unchanging smile on his face: "Xiao Tian, I'm your big brother after all; can't I call you over if there's no serious business?"

"If there's no serious business, then we have nothing to talk about. I still have to go home to accompany my wife, so I won't delay your time, Big Brother."

"Xiao Tian, do you have any misunderstandings about Big Brother recently? Regarding that An Xingyue matter, I can explain. I don't like her at all, and I've always rejected her."

"However, she is Yun Shuo's fiancée after all. I was worried that telling Yun Shuo would make him feel like he had no face, so I kept it hidden, but I didn't expect Yun Shuo to misunderstand anyway."

Misunderstanding?

If it were the Xu Tian before his rebirth, he might have really thought this was a misunderstanding, thinking it was Yun Shuo who didn't give Xu Rixin a chance to explain.

But the current Xu Tian was no longer the fool who was spun around by Xu Rixin.

"Ding-a-ling..."

Before Xu Rixin could say anything else, the phone on the desk suddenly rang.

Xu Tian saw out of the corner of his eye that the caller ID was a woman's name; he had some impression of this name, and it seemed she was also one of Xu Rixin's pursuers.

"Xiao Tian, you sit first, I'll go answer a call."

Xu Rixin's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly took his phone and walked onto the office balcony.

He knew how to enjoy himself; when choosing an office, he specially left himself a room with a small terrace. There were two lounge chairs and a small tea table on the terrace. When he had nothing to do, Xu Rixin would drink afternoon tea on the terrace.

However, it was clear that the soundproofing of this terrace wasn't very good. Even though Xu Rixin hid outside to make the call behind Xu Tian's back, intermittent sounds still came out.

"I'm sorry, the company is quite busy this week, I might not be able to find time to accompany you."

"How about this, I will definitely find time to accompany you shopping next week, okay?"

Xu Rixin's tone was gentle, different from the lukewarm reaction he had when treating An Xingyue.

This was probably a fish that hadn't taken the bait yet.

Xu Rixin was a selfish and extremely snobbish person, and his goals were very clear. Toward women he had just met or hadn't coaxed into his hands yet, he could still pretend to be a steady and considerate good gentleman, but toward women like An Xingyue who were already devoted to him, he didn't have that much patience.

Xu Tian had no interest in listening to Xu Rixin's mushy love words anymore and shifted his attention to his desk.

Xu Rixin's computer screen wasn't turned off, and Xu Tian saw a WeChat message notification in the bottom right corner of the screen.

He leaned over and glanced in Xu Rixin's direction again, discovering that the other party was focused on making the call to coax someone and didn't notice him at all, so he moved the mouse to the WeChat interface.

The conversation at the very top was another familiar name: Yan Qingxue.

After Xu Tian saw the conversation between these two people, his pupils shook violently.
