If she could also trample Qin Yuanyao under her feet, that would be even better!

Yes, even now, she hasn't given up her desire to crush Qin Yuanyao under her feet!

Qin Yuanyao must never live a better life than her!!

After thinking it through, Xu Miaotong felt much better.

She picked up her phone and searched for recipes for lotus leaf rice...

...

Meanwhile, Chi Nai and Chi Baiyi had returned to Grandpa Zhou's house, and Chi Baiyi started making lunch.

Chi Naihao, her two little hands supporting her soft cheeks, watched Chi Baiyi busy in the kitchen and exclaimed, "Daddy, it's a good thing I let you learn to cook, otherwise we wouldn't have anything to eat today, right?"

Chi Baiyi said, "...It's not that we won't have anything to eat." It's just that we'll eat very simply.

"Dad, you're being too modest. Of course we won't have anything to eat! Have you forgotten what your first dish looked like?" Chi Naozi frowned in disapproval.

Chi Baiyi "..."

[So lively and chaotic! It feels like Cheese is a completely different person without Qin Yuanyao (facepalm)]

[You've turned into a disgusted cheese now, haven't you? Hahahaha]

[Yes, yes, yes! The word "dislike cheese" is quite accurate!]

[I'm so curious what Chi Zong's first dish looked like, haha, that Cheese was so disgusted by it.]

I can roughly imagine it's either burnt, charred, or probably undercooked. The point is never what Mr. Chi's first attempt at cooking looked like, but rather that Cheese would definitely be disgusted (evil laugh).

Chi Baiyi turned and glanced at Chi Naoqi, who was resting her cheeks on her hands like a little adult, and said, "Aren't you going to help Daddy?"

Chi Nao glanced at him and said, "You're not Sister Qin."

Chi Baiyi "..."

"Then what are you doing here staring at me?" Chi Baiyi asked.

"To keep an eye on you," Chi Nao said matter-of-factly. "If you don't do a good job, I'll go hungry at noon."

Chi Baiyi "..."

That's a reason that's hard to refute.

The screen was filled with "hahahahahaha" and "so popular and bustling" in the comments.

When Qin Yuanyao is around, Chi Nao is a chores expert! When Qin Yuanyao isn't around, Chi Nao is a supervisor expert!

[Upstairs, that's an overstatement!!]

Chi Baiyi spent an hour finally finishing two dishes—spicy baby crabs and hand-shredded cabbage.

Chi Cheese and the others were starving, so they quickly picked up a piece of spicy crab, washed it with water from another bowl, and took a bite.

This is how she ate the spicy baby crabs her mother made yesterday.

She's still a child and can't eat too much spicy food. But yesterday, she thought the spicy baby crabs that were just washed with water were incredibly delicious.

But what Dad made today...

Chi Nai frowned and sighed, "Dad, what you made isn't as delicious as Sister Qin's."

Chi Baiyi: "...I know."

He knew his own limitations when it came to cooking.

"It doesn't taste as good as yesterday's either," Chi Cheese added. "The fish and meat you made yesterday were alright. But today's isn't good."

As Chi Cheese spoke, she stretched out her fair little hand and waved it.

"It must be because Sister Qin wasn't here and you weren't in the mood that the food didn't taste as good as yesterday," Chi Naozhi concluded to herself.

Chi Baiyi “…?”

Chi Nai seems to really want to matchmake her dad and Qin Yuanyao.

[Chi Nai is so stupid! Her dad would never approve of Qin Yuanyao. Look at how little reaction President Chi gets whenever she brings up similar topics.]

Why do you always portray Yao Yao as inferior and as if she's trying to climb the social ladder by associating with CEO Chi whenever this topic comes up? After watching the live stream for so long, everyone can see that Yao Yao has no intention of currying favor with CEO Chi, CEO Chi doesn't even look at her, and Yao Yao doesn't want CEO Chi to look at her!

Not every woman in the world wants to marry President Chi. Don't equate yourself with Yao Yao.

[Hilarious! I never expected Qin Yuanyao's fans to defend her in this way.]

Halfway through their meal, Chi Baiyi and Chi Naoqi were interrupted by a phone call from Mu Hai.

"Dad's going out for a bit to answer a phone call," Chi Baiyi said.

Chi Nai, munching on a small crab, nodded her head softly and sweetly, "Mmm."

Chi Baiyi went outside to a place where there were no cameras, turned off her microphone, and answered the phone.

Mu Hai first reported on the group's situation over the past few days, and then, he changed the subject, mentioning the trending topic on social media this morning.

"President Chi, you and Qin Yuanyao were trending on social media this morning. I took them down as soon as I found out, and now you can't find any related topics online," Mu Hai said with a slightly boastful tone.

Chi Baiyi was slightly taken aback, and after a moment she spoke, "What trending topic?"

"This morning, when you were digging lotus roots, you kindly and gentlemanly wiped the mud off Qin Yuanyao's face, which became a trending topic. However, I have now completely removed it, and the relevant video can no longer be found, so please don't worry."

Chi Baiyi's expression was indescribable. After several seconds, he finally said in a low voice, "I understand."

Then he hung up the phone.

Mu Hai stared blankly at the phone after it was disconnected.

Why does President Chi's voice sound a little low, and a little unhappy?

However, President Chi has always been someone who doesn't show his emotions. Even if President Chi thinks he's done a good job, he won't show any obvious emotional fluctuations. So this time it must be the same; he's overthinking it.

On the other side, Chi Baiyi hung up the phone but did not go inside to eat.

He opened the relevant website and entered his and Qin Yuanyao's names into the search box.

Although there were no videos or related topics about him wiping the mud off Qin Yuanyao's face, there were still quite a few related Weibo posts.

[Ahhhhhh, the video of CEO Chi wiping Qin Yuanyao's face is so sweet! I've probably watched it a billion times!]

Chi Baiyi "..."

Why send so many "ah"s? Is there any special meaning behind it?

What does "嗑" mean?

A billion times?

Impossible. Even if you watch a 30-second video 24 hours a day without stopping, you can only watch it 2880 times.

Moreover, less than three hours had passed since he wiped the mud off Qin Yuanyao's face; how could he have watched it a billion times?

I reasonably suspect that the claim that CEO Chi dislikes Qin Yuanyao is a smokescreen deliberately released by him to divert attention from his relationship with Qin Yuanyao.

Chi Baiyi "..."

Hmm... this interpretation was something he hadn't expected.

This person has some potential in public relations.

【Aaaaaah—I don't believe it! I don't believe it! It wasn't President Chi wiping Qin Yuanyao's face! It definitely wasn't President Chi!!】

Chi Baiyi "..."

Why do we have to send so many "ah"s?

Is it like a primary school student writing an essay, trying to reach a certain word count?

Why don't you believe that it wasn't him who wiped Yuan Yao's face?

Does he not look like himself at all?
