Chapter 185 Fireworks

Wen Jingyi's physical condition has recovered quite well, so she doesn't need to make any special nourishing food. Sister Mei made some simple but exquisite home-cooked dishes according to her daily taste.

Smoke rose from the stove.

After a while, the fresh and green stir-fried seasonal vegetables, the braised spareribs with rich oil and red sauce, the spicy and slightly pungent dry-pot shrimps and the crispy and delicious stir-fried beef were all served on the table.

Finally, there is a pot of soft and tasty mushroom and chicken soup. Amidst the hot steam, the room is filled with a mouth-watering aroma, and even the air seems to be tinged with a warm scent.

As soon as Shen Zhiyu got out of the elevator, he was attracted by the aroma of food in the corridor.

He had been in a meeting for the entire afternoon and his spirit was as tense as a fully drawn bowstring. Now, when he smelled the smell of fireworks, his body couldn't help but relax.

But what made him happiest was Zhou Yunjie who was waiting for him in the corridor.

She was wearing a pink striped housecoat, sitting on a shoe bench by the window, looking down at her phone. Her long hair was a bit in the way, so she tucked it behind her ears, revealing her fair earlobes. A few strands of hair stuck out playfully, making her look as adorable as a child.

His brows softened involuntarily.

Hearing footsteps, Zhou Yunjie looked over and stood up, his voice soft, "You're back?"

Zhou Yunjie's casual tone sounded as if he was really the wife waiting for him to return home. This question also made Shen Zhiyu's heart move slightly.

"What are you doing sitting here?" Shen Zhiyu asked.

Zhou Yunjie's expression was tense, and he coughed lightly. "I told my mother about what happened between us. She's a tough person, but soft-hearted. If she said anything that made you uncomfortable, don't take it to heart."

Shen Zhiyu lowered his eyes and looked at her for a moment, then said, "I see."

The two of them entered the house one after the other.

The meal went quite harmoniously, but Wen Jingyi had mixed feelings. She felt sorry for her daughter, but also felt that Shen Zhiyu was indeed a good candidate for son-in-law.

He has good manners, good conversation, and takes good care of his daughter.

only...

Although he was polite and considerate, he was polite and distant, and it was obvious that he did not have any true feelings for his daughter.

Wen Jingyi, who was watching all this, became more and more worried, but she couldn't say anything.

After all, it is already very good that a marriage by arrangement can achieve these.

......

After dinner, Zhou Yunjie sent Shen Zhiyu out.

The numbers on the elevator display changed layer by layer. As they were about to arrive, Shen Zhiyu suddenly turned his head and said to Zhou Yunjie, "Would you like to go up and sit for a while?"

Zhou Yunjie uttered an "ah" and blushed, "No..."

Shen Zhiyu nodded. "I don't need to tell you about Yunding's competition. I'll send you the information via WeChat later. You can take a look at it yourself. It's just a formality anyway, so it doesn't matter what I say."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunjie quickly grabbed his wrist and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go get the phone." Then he quickly ran back into the house and ran out in a hurry with the phone in his arms.

Shen Zhiyu glanced at her cheeks, which were slightly flushed with anxiety, and a smile appeared in his eyes. He raised his hand and tucked the hair around her ears again before stepping into the elevator.

Zhou Yunjie blushed and his heart beat fast because of his previous actions. He shrank to the other side after entering the elevator, as if he wanted to deliberately keep some distance from him.

Fortunately, the elevator only went one floor, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief after getting out of the elevator and followed Shen Zhiyu into the door.
