A financial crisis swept through, forcing Yan Mo to return home for a blind date. What? Over thirty and still unmarried? Is he a complete straight man? A fake marriage to fool grandpa? Is that some...
As time came to the evening, Yan Mo's shop gradually became busy. At first, there were only three or five people hanging around. As the students of Mo University finished their classes, many couples came to Yan Mo's shop for candlelight dinner out of curiosity.
As soon as he entered the store, Si Ze saw Yan Mo busy in the kitchen. Usually, he was reluctant to let her cook for him often, but now she had to cook for these customers, which made him feel distressed.
He came to the kitchen to help, but he knew nothing about making Western desserts, so he could only stand at the door and watch anxiously.
Yan Mo looked up from his busy schedule and saw Si Ze, and hurriedly said, "Si Ze, please get out first. We don't need your help here."
"Oh." Seeing that all of them were cutting vegetables, serving dishes, and busy with their own things in an orderly manner, he was standing here blocking them. After thinking about it, he listened to Yan Mo's words and stepped out.
After Si Ze left, Yan Mo frowned, quickly took out the grapefruit peel from his pocket, and hung it on his nose again.
As early as the moment Si Ze's car stopped at the door, Zhou Tingting came in to serve the dishes and told her that he was coming, so she peeled the pomelo.
She didn't want Si Ze to notice her discomfort, as it would make him worried.
Recently, as the baby in her belly grows, she reacts more to smells. After being busy in the kitchen for three hours, she has vomited twice. But there is no way. In this adult world, she can't stop it immediately!
"Oh." Yan Mo sighed, lamenting that things that used to be easy for her now seemed particularly difficult for her.
Ever since she knew she was pregnant, she had been looking for chefs, but either their skills were too poor, or they were just scammers. Last night, she finally found a Western-style chef, but today, he suddenly came and asked for a raise before he even started working. Naturally, Yan Mo wouldn't agree.
There was no way, the set time could not be changed. Today, she had to go into battle herself, but she couldn't stand the smell, so she used the same method as last time.
After a while, Si Ze, who had gone out, came back, catching Yan Mo off guard. Helplessly, he could only take it off again without leaving any trace.
"Why are you back again? You don't know what's going on here. Don't get contaminated by the fumes. Go out quickly and see if Aunt Li and the others outside need any help." Yan Mo urged again.
This time, Si Ze stood at the door without moving. He felt that he was being rejected.
When he went outside, Aunt Li asked him to come in to help, thinking that he was taking up space and blocking the customers. After he came in, she asked him to go out. This was the first time he had felt this way in more than 30 years. He was the president of Zhenghong, so when did he fall to this point?
"No need for help outside." Si Ze replied stiffly.
"Oh, what about upstairs?"
“No need.”
"Where's A Biao?"
“Neither.”
No need for anything? Yan Mo suddenly realized that he was a big boss. Who dared to order him to do anything? It was also his fault for just saying it casually.
"Then you can go sit outside or walk around." Yan Mo changed his words and was determined to trick him out no matter what.
"No, I want to help my wife." Si Ze was very persistent. This time, no matter what she said, he not only did not back out, but walked in and came to her side, watching her fry steak, and from time to time handed her the ingredients she needed, such as salt, butter, black pepper, etc.
Facing such a Si Ze, she was helpless and could only hold her breath and try to breathe as little as possible, but it still couldn't stop the pungent fumes from entering her nasal cavity unscrupulously. Finally, a feeling of nausea rolled up again, but fortunately she had done her part well.
"Hey, bring this out quickly." Yan Mo said hurriedly, suppressing the nausea and quickly handed the plate of steak to Si Ze.
Everyone was very busy. Si Ze didn't doubt it and took the plate from Yan Mo's hand and walked out.
The moment he walked out, Yan Mo quickly ran out of the back door, leaned on the fence, and breathed in deep gulps of fresh air, trying to suppress the nausea.
At this moment, Fu Haonan, who was parking his car in the alley behind, saw this scene. He quickly pushed open the back door of the wall, walked in, and came to Yan Mo's side and asked with concern:
"Yan Mo, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?" There was a hint of anxiety in his tone.
"It's okay." Yan Mo quickly waved his hands and explained, "I was just choked by the smoke, it's nothing serious."
Fu Haonan said: "Then let me get you some water to rinse your mouth!"
Without waiting for Yan Mo to answer, Fu Haonan walked out again, opened the car door, took out a bottle of water, walked back to Yan Mo, opened it and handed it to her.
"Thank you." Yan Mo was really feeling uncomfortable right now, and he took the mineral water from Fu Haonan without thinking much.
This scene happened to be seen by Si Ze who came out to look for Yan Mo. The smile on his face disappeared instantly and he stopped at the door sadly. At this moment, Xun Jiage's words in the afternoon came to his mind. She fell in love with this man?
Impossible! As soon as this idea came to mind, Si Ze immediately rejected it. It was just handing over a bottle of water. Even if a kind-hearted person saw a stranger squatting on the side of the road and vomiting uncomfortably, he would help. He had to believe her. Yes, the two of them should trust each other. If they were so easily alienated by others, how could he say that he would spend his life with her?
Si Ze kept trying to comfort himself in his heart. After waiting for a while, he didn't see any excessive contact between the man and Yan Mo, so he felt relieved.
Then he realized another problem, why did the little girl vomit?
He turned to look at the kitchen. Could it be that she wasn't well yet? This was the only possibility Si Ze could think of.
However, these can be discussed later. The most important thing now is to accompany her. When she is in the most pain, he should be the one to stay by her side, not a stranger.
Thinking about it, Si Ze no longer hesitated, stepped out of the door, came in front of Yan Mo and Fu Haonan, pushed Fu Haonan away, stood in the position where Fu Haonan had just been, and silently stretched out his hand to smooth her back:
"Momo, are you feeling better?"
"Huh?" Yan Mo looked up in surprise. Seeing that it was Si Ze, she quickly wiped the water stains from the corners of her mouth and tried to cheer herself up. Not wanting him to notice her abnormality, she forced a smile and said, "I'm fine!"
Seeing this, Fu Haonan frowned unnoticeably, but he concealed it very well and returned to normal in an instant, so that no one could see anything unusual. Si Ze and Yan Mo naturally didn't notice it either.
"Really?" Si Ze didn't believe it.
"Of course!" Yan Mo nodded affirmatively and explained, "I just saw a video that said handmade noodles are more fragrant because they contain a lot of dead skin shed from the palms." After a pause, Yan Mo continued to justify himself, "You know, we had handmade noodles this morning."
