The car stopped in front of the villa, and Qiao Nansheng opened the car door and got out.

Seeing that she was unsteady on her feet, Sheng Zhuo kindly asked, "Madam, do you need my help?"

With her back to Sheng Zhuo, she waved her hand in refusal: "No need."

Limping to her doorstep, Qiao Nansheng unlocked the door with her fingerprint, pushed it open, and poked her head inside. Her bright eyes darted around the living room, searching for Zhou Cheng's figure.

After looking around and not seeing anything, Qiao Nansheng then stuck her still-exposed body inside and stood at the doorway to change her shoes.

A delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen. Qiao Nansheng hadn't eaten much for lunch, and her stomach rumbled as she smelled the fragrance. She quickly changed her shoes and ran to the kitchen door: "Xuxuxu, what delicious food have you made this time?"

Liu Xu turned around and saw it was her, and replied with a smile, "I have everything that Madam likes to eat."

Five dishes have already been cooked on the table outside. If we cook a few more, we'll have about ten dishes and a soup.

Qiao Nansheng couldn't help but scoff, "Tch~ Zhou Cheng only made this much after coming back. It would be better to just make three dishes and a soup as usual. It's not like we're pigs who can finish it all."

It's like they've got some rare guest at home.

Liu Xu: "You can't say that, Madam. Brother Cheng was filming away from home, and he was always eating boxed lunches. Sometimes he didn't even have time to eat them. It lasted for three months. Now that he's finally back after finishing filming, we naturally have to make him some delicious food to help him recover."

She's a huge fan of Cheng Ge and can't stand seeing her idol not eating well.

Qiao Nansheng scoffed: "Come on, that's just your fan filter. Even if he's a movie star, how bad can he be? Eating boxed lunches every day? He's just fooling you young girls."

It's not like she doesn't follow the entertainment industry. Some celebrities have fancy meals packed for filming, can you even call those boxed lunches?

Probably, since the food was packaged in a box.

In short—boxed lunch!

Willow catkins: "..."

Qiao Nansheng was so hungry that after joking with Liu Xu, she couldn't resist going in and using her chopsticks to pick up a piece of prawn from the pot to eat.

The spicy flavor of the stir-fried prawns suited her taste perfectly.

After finishing his meal, Qiao Nansheng licked the sauce off his chopsticks and asked her, "Oh, by the way, Xiaoxu, where's our first-aid kit?"

"Madam, are you injured again?" Liu Xu turned around reflexively and immediately saw Zhou Cheng standing behind Qiao Nansheng outside the door. Her eyes widened and she shouted, "Brother Cheng!"

Qiao Nansheng froze, turned her head, and saw Zhou Cheng behind her.

He had been there for an unknown amount of time and had been listening for an unknown amount of time. Qiao Nansheng felt inexplicably guilty. Had she said anything inappropriate?

It seems like he didn't come... except for the somewhat unpleasant tone.

"Why are you here?" Qiao Nansheng asked guiltily, put down her chopsticks, left the kitchen, and walked towards the sofa.

Zhou Cheng was behind her, watching her limp as she walked. His eyes moved downwards and landed on her swollen right foot, his brow furrowing.

He strode after him, asking, "What happened to your foot?" His tone wasn't very friendly.

Qiao Nansheng thought he was still angry about what happened that day, so she replied in a gentle tone, "I just sprained my ankle, it's nothing serious, I can just spray some medicine on it. Do you know where the first-aid kit is?"

Zhou Cheng did not respond. After catching up with Qiao Nansheng, he took her arm and carefully supported her, as if she were a disabled person.

Qiao Nansheng wanted to say that there was no need to do this, but he had already pressed her down to sit on the sofa.

"I'll go find the medicine. You wait here." The man's deep voice came from above.

Qiao Nansheng watched him turn around and go to the storage room to get the medicine box, blinked, and didn't say anything.

A few minutes later, Zhou Cheng, who had found the first-aid kit, came over and squatted down in front of her.
