The other three looked worried. Could it be that their boss liked Miss Han? But their statuses didn't match, not to mention there was a Duke involved... They hoped he wouldn't do anything rash.
"I'm telling you, if you dare to do anything reckless..."
"I didn't," Shen Yi hurriedly waved his hand, "I just... I just..." He simply couldn't bring himself to say the reason.
Le Yao quickly tugged at Qiao Qiao: "Qiao, Brother Shen is an honest person. You should know his character. He was probably just lost in thought just now."
She also noticed that Shen Yi had been staring at her, but she was not so narcissistic as to think that someone's glance at her meant they had a crush on her; that was the kind of thinking only innocent girls and manipulative girls would have.
However, she could see the struggle in his resolute eyes. She had actually made him struggle.
This put her in a dilemma. Had the original owner done something that would incur divine and public wrath against Shen Yi? Unfortunately, she had no memory of it at all.
"I just... I just think Miss Han's cooking is so delicious." Shen Yi lowered his eyes. "It... it feels like home."
The others nodded hurriedly upon hearing this: "It's really delicious, so delicious it makes you want to cry." They instantly understood their leader.
Qiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief; she had been startled.
"Oh, okay? Then just let me know if you want to eat it, and I'll make it for you when I have time."
"Thank you, Miss Han." The four men immediately showed delighted expressions. After the meal, they rushed to clear the dishes and then cleaned the room.
"Should we fire the hourly worker?" Qiaoqiao's lips twitched. "From now on, we can have them come and clean the house."
“I think it’s a good idea. It’s cheaper to have meals provided than to hire a part-time worker,” Le Yao nodded.
"You're really something. I was just saying it offhand. Let me tell you, money isn't something you save, it's something you earn."
"That's a very philosophical statement."
“That’s what my dad, Comrade Qiao, said.” Qiao Qiao shrugged. “He earns money so that my mom can spend it all, but it turns out my mom is even better at making money than him… Comrade Qiao is really pitiful.”
"It's obvious that Uncle and Aunt have a very good relationship." Le Yao was genuinely envious, because Qiao Feng and Jiang Lin were the only couple in the book without misunderstandings or melodramatic plot twists. However, it was never explained what Jiang Lin did. Did she also do business?
“Absolutely. Let me tell you, you see, my brother and I aren’t around, and a lot of people think they must be lonely. But only we know that they’re actually happy. They wish we would never go back and disturb their time together…” Qiao Qiao sighed. “Now they’re asking us to go back, but only to take care of company business so he can take his wife all over the world. Humph, we’re not falling for that. Alright, let’s not talk about them anymore. We should go.”
"Where are you going?" Le Yao frowned.
"I've made an appointment to get my hair and makeup done. Aren't we going to Hao Kai's birthday party tonight? We're not going to cause any trouble this time, so we should at least dress up, right?"
"That makes sense." Le Yao nodded. She had to look glamorous and presentable, so that people could see that she was in better shape after leaving that bastard Nangong Jue.
Hao Kai, holding the braised pork, was crying his eyes out. When his mother was alive, she loved to make this dish, and he could eat two big bowls of rice with it every time. After his mother passed away, he never touched braised pork again. But today, he actually tasted his mother's cooking...
