Zheng Yao’s wontons tonight almost turned into noodle soup.

First, I put the wontons in before the water was boiling, and then I almost overcooked them because I was distracted.

She ate dinner absent-mindedly, thinking about what had just happened.

In contrast, Yan Jintang enjoyed the meal very much.

Even the monkey on the side had a good appetite and was chatting and laughing with Yan Jintang while discussing some current affairs.

Even the vinegar I ate in the afternoon has dissipated a lot.

Zheng Yao fled after packing up. On the way back, she kept thinking, how could she be so young and unable to control herself? Look at how calm the old man is. He is not ashamed at all to do such ambiguous actions!

Zheng Yao didn't sleep well that night. She tossed and turned in bed. As soon as she closed her eyes, she saw Yan Jintang leaning close to her, and the faint scent of jasmine on his body.

It's so torturous.

The next day, she got up with two big dark circles under her eyes and made breakfast, which scared Hu Jun and Wu Jian.

"Sister Yao, what's wrong with your dark circles? Didn't you sleep well in this hot weather?"

Zheng Yao said weakly, "Maybe."

Hu Jun wanted to ask more questions, but Wu Jian muttered to him, so Hu Jun stopped.

"Let us do it. You go and have a rest. The delivery will be here soon. It's still early."

Zheng Yao checked the time and said, "Okay, I'll go back and lie down for a while."

Zheng Yao fell asleep this time, but neither Hu Jun nor Wu Jian called her. She slept until noon, and when she got up to check the time, she got up in a hurry.

Seeing her come out of the room, Hu Jun stood up and handed her a set of bowls and chopsticks. "You didn't eat this morning, so you can work after you eat. Anyway, we don't have to deliver the goods today."

"Okay, thank you both, I'll take care of it this afternoon so you can just take a break."

"You're welcome, it's okay."

Just as Zheng Yao was about to close the store in the evening, Wang Haiyang arrived.

She quickly greeted him, "Come over! But they're sold out today!"

Wang Haiyang got out of the car and took something out from behind him.

Zheng Yao didn't see clearly, and only when he came closer did she realize that it was a bouquet of flowers.

What does this look like? A peony? Why does it look so much like the ones planted along Qianmen Street?

"Um, Zheng Yao, this is for you."

The flower was wrapped in newspaper, and Zheng Yao thought it looked pretty good.

But why did Wang Haiyang give her flowers for no reason?

"Thank you, but our boss doesn't usually allow us to put plants here because they attract insects. You know we have to ensure hygiene when we make food..."

Zheng Yao did not take the bouquet of flowers. She felt that she understood a little bit about what it meant when a man gave flowers to a woman.

Wang Haiyang was a little embarrassed. "Sorry, sorry, I'll throw it away. I really didn't think of this."

Wang Haiyang was originally holding flowers, but when he heard Zheng Yao's tactful refusal, he put his arm down.

Zheng Yao smiled. "I'm sorry, but thank you anyway. I'm about to close the shop, so you should go home early too. You've had a hard day!"

Wang Haiyang could see Zheng Yao's refusal and felt a little frustrated, but he still asked, "What do you like? I'll bring it to you next time. I really wasn't considerate today."

Zheng Yao shook her head. "Really? I don't need anything. You don't need to send me anything..."

Before Zheng Yao finished speaking, a male voice with a smile suddenly interrupted.

"Xiao Zhengyao, are you done cleaning up?"

Zheng Yao saw that it was Monkey who came to pick her up, "Brother Monkey, you're here. I'll be right there."

Monkey stood beside Wang Haiyang and looked at the flowers in his hand. "Who is this comrade?"

Zheng Yao took the initiative to introduce, "Ah, Brother Monkey, this is the public security officer who manages traffic nearby. His last name is Wang."

"Oh, hello, hello."

"Hello."

"These flowers are nice. Are you going to give them to a girl?"

Wang Haiyang hid the flowers behind him and nodded awkwardly, "I'm giving them to Zheng Yao. Are you Zheng Yao's?"

The monkey became interested, "Me, I'm her elder brother."

"Oh, are you her brother?"

The monkey didn't think twice and said, "Yes, dear."

“…”

Zheng Yao knew that Monkey was a playful person who loved to joke around, so she ignored him, quickly packed up her things, locked the door, and left.

I found that Wang Haiyang had not left yet and they were still talking.

"Um, Officer Wang, we're leaving. Aren't you going home?"

Wang Haiyang nodded and said, "I'm leaving too. Sorry to bother you, Zheng Yao."

After saying goodbye to him, Zheng Yao followed Monkey and left for the Yan family.

On the way, Monkey teased Zheng Yao again, "This guy is interested in you, little Zheng Yao, I didn't expect you to be so popular."

Zheng Yao, "...Brother Monkey..."

Monkey laughed heartily, then turned serious. "Mr. Yan isn't in a good mood today. He drank quite a bit at lunch. Let's make him something to sober up tonight."

Zheng Yao frowned slightly, "Okay, why are you suddenly in a bad mood?"

Monkey shook his head. "I don't know about work matters. That's the nature of their job. They get criticized every other day, or get angry when their subordinates don't do their job well. It's common."

"All right."

As soon as Zheng Yao entered the door, she saw shoes placed irregularly on the ground.

Yan Jintang's shoes are usually neatly arranged, but today is the first time she has seen this in all the time she has been helping him cook.

It seems that he is really in a bad mood.

As she packed up, she thought about the last time Yan Jintang told her that he got angry at home because of something at work, and her aunt was so scared that she almost had a heart attack.

So how scary is it when Yan Jintang loses his temper?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard voices coming from upstairs.
