As she spoke, Qiao Zhen ate a few more dishes, taking only a small bite of each one.

To her surprise, after taking a bite, she discovered that all the dishes were of mediocre quality.

But seeing the hopeful look in Qiao Luosheng's eyes, she couldn't bear to discourage him, so she ate the last dish.

However, after taking one bite, she found that the dish tasted really good and couldn't help but exclaim.

"You did a great job making this dish, it's delicious! Mom, you should try it too!"

Hearing this, Qiao's mother smiled and nodded, picked up a piece of food, and gave her approval.

Qiao Luosheng, standing next to him, looked rather grim.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Seeing Qiao Luosheng like this, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but feel concerned.

"No sister..."

Qiao Luosheng hesitated for a moment, then said with some disappointment, "This dish was made by Brother Lu, but I made all the other dishes."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen suddenly looked at Lu Zheng, only to see Lu Zheng smiling demurely, looking at Qiao Zhen with an ambiguous expression.

Qiao Zhen couldn't help but laugh awkwardly twice, and quickly tried to make amends, saying, "Your cooking is also very delicious, it's just a little bit inferior to your brother Lu's, don't be discouraged."

Hearing Qiao Zhen's words of comfort, Qiao Luosheng nodded.

When the meal was almost over, Qiao Zhen had also finished eating, so she took the initiative to wash the dishes and chopsticks.

Lu Zheng, who was standing nearby, naturally joined the dishwashing team. Qiao Luosheng and his mother, wanting to give them some privacy, both made excuses to leave.

"No need, I can wash these dishes by myself."

Upon seeing Lu Zheng, Qiao Zhen recalled what had just happened and couldn't help but want to send him away.

"What, you're not happy about having another helper like me?"

Lu Zheng's teasing words came through.

Qiao Zhen listened, and couldn't help but get furious.

"You made that dish. Why didn't you tell me sooner? You made my brother sad."

Qiao Zhen said with some resentment, and then rolled her eyes at Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng was truly on the verge of tears, and couldn't help but chuckle: "What, am I a prophet? Do you think I know what you're going to say or do?"

Knowing she was in the wrong, Qiao Zhen simply stuck out her tongue and stopped arguing with Lu Zheng. Before long, the two of them had washed the dishes clean.

After leaving the house, Qiao Zhen looked at the two sitting on the sofa with gossipy expressions and couldn't help but awkwardly rub her forehead.

What are you doing?

"I'm teaching my mom how to use a mobile phone."

Qiao Luosheng had a sudden inspiration and laughed.

Qiao Zhen could see through his little scheme, but she just smiled and didn't want to expose him.

After staying at home for a while, Qiao Zhen noticed that it was getting late and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zheng also wanted to leave: "Zhenzhen is right. It's getting late, so I'll be leaving now."

“Okay, then you two can keep each other company tonight. My daughter is the only one in my family, and it's not safe for her to walk alone at night.”

Seeing that Qiao's mother was giving Lu Zheng a meaningful look, Lu Zheng nodded knowingly and turned to Qiao Zhen, saying, "Let's go, Zhenzhen."

Looking at Lu Zheng's face, Qiao Zhen felt that his smile was somewhat abnormal, so she couldn't help but take a step forward and hug her mother's arm, unwilling to leave.

"Forget it, Mom. I'll stay with you a little longer. It's not too late for me to leave later."

Hearing Qiao Zhen's words, Qiao's mother was extremely unhappy.

"That won't do. It's too dangerous for a young woman to go home alone at night. You should let him accompany you."

"But I have a car too, nothing will happen to me."

Hearing this, Qiao's mother patted Qiao Zhen's hand again, as if she was just shy.

"Oh dear, even if you drive back alone, can you guarantee you'll be in the car the whole time? It's more convenient if someone goes with you."

Seeing the look in her mother's eyes, Qiao Zhen sighed resignedly and then reluctantly said, "Alright, I'll go first then. You stay home and keep your mother company."

After explaining to Qiao Luosheng, the two left the house.

"What? You seemed like you didn't want to come with me just now. Am I that unlikable?"

Seeing Qiao Zhen's gloomy expression, Lu Zheng couldn't help but speak.

"How could I dare? I'm afraid you'll drag me home any second now."

Qiao Zhen rolled her eyes at him and said in a somewhat annoyed tone.

"What, is that how you see me?"

Lu Zheng smiled, his tone carrying a hint of noncommittal.

You know what kind of person you are.

After subtly criticizing her, Qiao Zhen got into her car, started the engine, and drove away.

After all, she has her own car and doesn't need to ride in his car back.

Lu Zheng curled his lips slightly, said nothing, and slowly followed behind Qiao Zhen's car.

After the audition, Qiao Zhen naturally saw Lu Zheng's car. She bit her lip, wanting to speed up and shake off Lu Zheng, but unfortunately, Lu Zheng's driving skills were too good, like a leech, and she couldn't shake him off no matter what she did.

Helpless, Qiao Zhen had no choice but to slow down and continue walking with a "what's the use" attitude.

As they neared home, Qiao Zhen noticed that Lu Zheng suddenly turned a corner and disappeared from her sight. Qiao Zhen couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Was he not going to follow her?

However, since she was going home soon, Qiao Zhen didn't think much of it.

As they drove along a side road, Qiao Zhen suddenly felt her car bump, as if it had hit something.

Could someone have been run over?

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhen's heart alarm went off. She quickly stopped the car and ran downstairs to check.
