"I only learned to cook in the past two years."

Su Xian crossed her legs and shook them arrogantly.

"Girl."

"Um?"

"Do you think that, apart from her, no other woman likes me?"

"What do you mean?" She was gradually unable to keep up with the man's train of thought.

"Don't you want to know if I have ever cooked for other women besides her?"

"No." With his arms resting on the back of the chair, he looked at the calm and busy figure opposite him leisurely, and changed the subject naturally: "Do you think Ren Shang will use force on Xi Ran?"

Thinking of the previous scene, I couldn’t help but feel a little worried.

"No." Zuo Yueyao was very sure.

"Why?" Su Xian was still worried.

"He can't bear to do it." He still had his back to her, but his tone became softer: "Just like no matter how big a mistake you make, I still can't bear to beat you up."

Su Xian was completely blocked.

Zuo Yueyao's cooking skills are at the chef level!

Su Xian looked at the three dishes and one soup, which were a combination of meat and vegetables. The colors were tempting and the aroma was fragrant, making her salivate. "Are you sure you really learned to cook in the past two years?"

"I am sure."

The hand that was handing over the chopsticks stopped in mid-air, and he almost forgot that it was her right hand that was injured.

Su Xian quickly raised his left hand: "I can eat with my left hand."

In fact, her left hand was so clumsy that she couldn't even hold the chopsticks. Her movements were so funny that even she wanted to laugh. Finally, Zuo Yueyao brought her a spoon. Every time she took a bite, he put the food into her bowl. His thoughtfulness was really touching.

So even with his mouth full of oil, Su Xian did not forget to sigh: "The woman who will be promoted in the future must die happily."

He answered slowly: "You can strive for a higher position."

"By the way." Su Xian changed the subject again: "Our CEO Huang asked when you are free. He wants to treat you to a meal to express his gratitude."

"No time."

Rejected without hesitation

"are you busy?"

"Except for sleeping, I spend all my time working and with you. Do you think I'm busy?"

Su Xian was very curious, how could Zuo Yueyao say these heart-pounding love words in a serious manner

She was afraid to see Zuo Yueyao. On the one hand, this man could always easily touch her heartstrings, causing her long-forgotten heart to be disturbed and shaken. On the other hand, every time she saw Zuo Yueyao, she would think of Zhou Ling.

Su Xian couldn't say what she felt about Zhou Ling. She liked Zhou Ling because she was so approachable at first; she was grateful to Zhou Ling because Zhou Ling allowed her to complete her four years of college without worries about food and clothing. Although it was Zuo Yueyao's request, the money belonged to the Zuo family, and Su Xian was not at all ambiguous about this.

But she also hated it, hated why Zhou Ling couldn't accept her as Zuo Yueyao's girlfriend.

This complex emotion tormented her for a long time, but what ultimately made her give up this relationship was the little self-esteem she had retained for herself.

Zhou Ling, after all, was kind to her. In the following years, he even called her several times and asked about her current situation, as if nothing had happened, and was as loving as he was when she was sixteen.

Many years later, Su Xian gradually understood that Zhou Ling had divided everything very clearly. She never concealed her admiration and love for Su Xian, but this liking was only the affirmation of an elder to a younger person, but it was definitely not the standard for choosing a daughter-in-law.

Zhou Ling's standards for his daughter-in-law are far higher than Su Xian's.

If Zhou Ling knew that she was entangled with his son again, would he think she was an ungrateful person

This made her feel guilty.

Because her hand was injured, Zuo Yueyao used this as an excuse to come and go freely in her house. Why could he come and go freely? Because this man openly put the spare key of the house in his pocket.

For this reason, Su Xian protested many times and strongly demanded that Zuo Yueyao return the key, but Zuo Yueyao today is no longer the same as before. No matter how you protest, the result is the same as Song Jiang's military - useless.

Occasionally, when he is not busy, he will cook a sumptuous dinner for her. The refrigerator is filled with various ingredients, all of which he bought from the supermarket. It is hard for Su Xian to imagine how this handsome man is willing to regard herself as a "virtuous wife".

Su Xian's wound had formed a scar. She pointed at her scar and said to Zuo Yueyao, "Look, my hand is healed. Can you stop tossing it?"

Zuo Yueyao was very dissatisfied with her words: "I take care of you so wholeheartedly, but to you, it's just a hassle? Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

Of course, it was too much to say so, so Su Xian said it another way: "What I mean is that Doctor Zuo is very busy, but he still has to run around for a commoner like me. I feel really bad about it. You see, I am a healthy person now, so I don't need Doctor Zuo to worry about me anymore. You see, we are a single man and a single woman, and you always come to my house. People will say something bad about you, right?"

"I don't quite agree with you." He peeled the apple skillfully. His hands were worthy of holding a scalpel. The thin layer of apple skin peeled off without a trace of breaks, as if he had done a perfect operation.

"First, you've been eating a lot these past few days, and I don't see that you have any regrets. Second, I'm unmarried, and you're unmarried. It's fair and natural. What's there to complain about?"

Look, she studied law for four years and has read so much, but she has never done anything like holding a scalpel!

"Besides, shouldn't I ask for some hard work pay for myself?"

"Tell me how much you want?" Su Xian responded generously.

"Not much." He showed a meaningful smile: "Since your injury has healed, I don't have to endure it anymore."

"What do you mean, Zuo Yueyao! You bastard! Let go."

Rejection always disappears under the gentle offensive, and she completely sinks into it in the half-hearted push and half-hearted acceptance. This man always has the ability to make her irresistible.

Afterwards, Su Xian soaked herself in the bathtub and cursed Zuo Yueyao for being worse than a beast. As she cursed, she began to smile bitterly. She was becoming more and more confused about what the relationship between them was now.

She had clearly been refusing but each time she came back empty handed and was then taken advantage of!

It’s really a bad fate!

Su Xian received a work arrangement to go on a business trip to South City, but before the trip, she met someone.

This person is He Xinwan.

He Xinwan asked her to meet in a cafe, and Su Xian came, and even she herself didn't know why she came.

He Xinwan arrived early and had already ordered coffee for her, but it was not the type she liked. She called the waiter and changed it to a cup with milk and sugar.

He Xinwan was very surprised: "I thought you like Yueyao and both like to drink pure coffee."

Su Xian smiled politely: "Why should I be like him? Coffee is too bitter, it tastes better with some sugar."

He Xinwan couldn't figure out the person in front of him for a moment.

She has changed a lot. She is no longer the impetuous little girl, nor the unkempt girl with short hair. Now she has mature charm, intellectual beauty, stubborn pride, and a mystery that makes people want to spy on her.

He Xinwan, who thought she knew Su Xian very well, suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity with her, and the way Su Xian looked at her seemed distant and rejecting.

"You don't have to be hostile to me. I asked you out simply because I wanted to reminisce about the past with you." He Xinwan explained with a smile.

Su Xian didn't think that the relationship between him and He Xinwan had reached the point where they could reminisce about the past. In the past, he only respectfully called her "senior sister" because of Zuo Yueyao, but now, they were just strangers.

He Xinwan didn't seem to intend to treat her as a stranger. She told her a lot of interesting things about foreign countries and some breakthroughs in the medical field in recent years. Naturally, the topic turned to Zuo Yueyao. When mentioning Zuo Yueyao, she was almost obsessed.

Su Xian suddenly realized that He Xinwan's feelings for Zuo Yueyao were more than just simple liking. Su Xian had never had such an infatuated look towards someone before. She began to doubt the extent of her liking for Zuo Yueyao.

"He really should have gone abroad with me, but unfortunately his mind was on you at the time. To be honest, I quite resent him for this. He gave up such a good opportunity. I know he did it because of you."

His black eyes flickered, not understanding why He Xinwan suddenly said such a thing.

"At that time, he knew that my father sponsored a scholarship for college, and he was actually worried that our relationship would affect your scholarship. Don't you think he was funny? If I hadn't taken the initiative to find him and made a promise to him, he would probably have been worried until you graduated from college."

This confusing statement made Su Xian a little confused. She originally thought that He Xinwan came to her to tell her: You are not suitable for Zuo Yueyao, you should leave Zuo Yueyao, and so on.

Could it be that she changed her way of expressing herself

Feeling a little uncomfortable, Su Xian recalled one night when Zuo Yueyao sent her back to the dormitory. He asked her: If you don't get the scholarship because of me, will you blame me

How did she answer

Her answer was: Of course.

Put yourself in her shoes. If she were Zuo Yueyao, she would definitely be very sad.

"Why are you telling me this?" She didn't think that He Xinwan would be magnanimous enough to come and help them get back together.

"I just think that a man like him shouldn't give up a bright future for the sake of love, and shouldn't bow down to others. But I envy you, and I envy Yue Yao for sacrificing so much for you."

Su Xian smiled wryly: "I don't think going abroad, learning some foreign knowledge and coming back will mean a bright future. Of course, it may be that I don't have the same vision as you. I think it's enough to do my best in the job I like and shine the brightest."

"maybe."

She didn't even refute

"There is something." He lowered his eyes and looked at his fingers. The question that was lingering in his heart finally came out: "I want to ask you."

"You say." He Xinwan's green little fingers were slightly curled, and her every move and gesture still showed the demeanor of a lady from a noble family. However, in Su Xian's eyes, this gesture seemed a little artificial, especially after she raised the question.
