"What are you looking at? Take the dishes over there." Su Yuxi forcefully shoved the dishes into his hands, her eyes filled with a hint of anger, and turned back to the kitchen to bring out the remaining dishes.
Today she made eight dishes and one soup: five of them were chicken, in addition to sweet and sour pork, there was also lobster with vermicelli, steamed fish, and a must-have vegetable dish.
Although this dish is a common dish on the table and its price is modest, she likes it.
"Mr. Fu, all the dishes are ready for today." Su Yuxi's voice was as cheerful and melodious as a silver bell after she finished cooking. Her eyes were fixed on the freshly roasted chicken, her burning gaze seemingly able to penetrate the golden skin and reach the tender and juicy meat inside. Her little nose kept sniffing, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, as if she had a great appetite for the food in front of her.
Fu Huaijin's indifferent gaze swept over the dishes on the table before he suddenly asked, "You really like chicken?"
Five of the nine dishes are related to chicken.
Although she invited him to dinner, she never asked him what he liked to eat. She cooked according to her own taste.
Moreover, she never hid her liking for those few plates of chicken; she was quite unreserved.
Su Yuxi certainly wouldn't deprive herself. She picked up a chicken leg and put it in her bowl, rubbed her hands together, took a bite, and found it to be incredibly fresh and tender.
However, after cooking a meal, her tone of voice became much more familiar with him: "It's alright, eat up, the chicken is so tender."
Of all her skills, she knows best which chicken is good and how to cook it. There's no one in the world who doesn't like eating chicken.
Fu Huaijin looked at the poached chicken, which still had traces of blood on it, with a hint of barely perceptible disdain in his eyes. But he still politely picked up his chopsticks and took a piece. Before he could even eat it, Su Yuxi's phone rang in her bag.
She paused in her chewing, showing no intention of answering the call. The chicken leg was more appealing to her than the phone; it might even be a spam call.
But after the call ended, it kept coming back, making a lot of noise that was really annoying.
Helpless, she could only put the half-eaten chicken leg aside, take out a wet wipe to clean her hands, and then get up to rummage through her bag for her phone.
When she took it out and saw that it was Lu Yunzhou's contact name, she frowned slightly. This man hadn't been around for days, so why was he calling her so late at night? Could it be some mistress showing off again?
She pressed the answer button and heard a suppressed angry question from the other end: "Xixi, where are you right now?"
Su Yuxi paused for a few seconds, then glanced at Fu Huaijin, who was already eating. She wondered why he was asking this, but she still needed him to make money and didn't want to make things awkward, so she answered very calmly, "Outside."
"Where are you outside? I'll come pick you up now." Lu Yunzhou lowered his voice, not intending to let the matter pass by so easily, he was determined to get to the bottom of it.
"No need, I'll be back in a bit." Su Yuxi didn't catch his hidden meaning; she figured she could just finish eating and tidy up before heading back.
Seeing that she wouldn't tell the truth, the man opposite her could no longer suppress his temper and started to speak recklessly: "No need? Are you afraid I'll find out which other man you're with outside?"
Today, after finishing his work at the company, he had to take care of Jiang Shiqian. When he had some free time, he thought of Su Yuxi. He had waited for so many days, but she hadn't contacted him to make peace. Every day, they had nothing to say to each other except for transferring money.
After calming down these past few days, he realized he was also at fault. The worst thing in a relationship is a cold war, so he transferred some money to her to buy a bag and sent her some sweet words to coax her, which was a way of breaking the ice in their relationship.
He sent a lot of messages trying to reconcile, but the other side remained unmoved. He called, but she didn't answer. When he asked the maid, she said that she had gone out early and hadn't returned yet.
In addition, she has become increasingly disobedient lately. Remembering the location on my phone, I checked it and found that she had been stuck in one place for more than two hours without moving.
Upon closer inspection, it appears to be located in a forested area on the outskirts of the city.
He didn't recall owning any property there, and it was a private area. If she wasn't looking for some man, why would she have stayed there for two hours without moving, and even told him the location?
Hearing his aggressive tone, Su Yuxi felt a surge of annoyance: "Are you sick? Do you think everyone likes to have affairs outside the home like you?"
Is he a rotten person himself, and thinks everyone else should be rotten too?
Lu Yunzhou realized he had been too extreme, so he changed his question and asked, "So who are you with now? Why are you still at Zhangyun Mountain so late?"
Su Yuxi was taken aback, her pretty face showing anger: "You sent someone to follow me?"
Lu Yunzhou remained silent after being exposed, and both sides waited for the other to continue.
"You're really sick." Su Yuxi sneered and angrily hung up the phone. She didn't expect Lu Yunzhou to be so tasteless as to send someone to follow her.
This idiot.
Fu Huaijin lowered his eyes, immersed in his own world, eating happily as if no one else was around. Su Yuxi sat back down in her seat with a sullen mood, picked up a chicken leg and started munching on it in a fit of rage.
A table, two people, one calm and content, the other angry and annoyed; their different states of mind divide them into two worlds.
As the two were enjoying the delicious food, a very faint cracking sound suddenly rang out in the air. Immediately afterwards, a glass of red wine to Su Yuxi's left shattered into two pieces with a loud bang, and the deep red wine turned into a thin stream, all of it falling onto her skirt.
"Ah..." Su Yuxi screamed and stood up, kicking the chair backward and jumping three feet high, still holding the unfinished chicken leg in her hand.
Even after escaping the disaster zone, she was still a little dazed.
"What kind of broken cup do you have that can crack?" Even a 9.9 yuan cup with free shipping on some online stores wouldn't have such an outrageous thing happen.
Fu Huaijin merely glanced at the cup, his expression completely unconcerned: "Yes, sorry, it is indeed very broken. I'll have someone replace them all later."
He glanced upstairs again and said slowly, "There are clothes upstairs, go change first."
Su Yuxi looked as uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a fly after hearing this explanation. Apart from cursing her bad luck in her heart, she could only accept his suggestion.
Fu Huaijin personally led her to the guest room upstairs. He didn't go in, but gazed at her from a just-right distance: "There are clothes in the wardrobe, pick one out yourself."
Su Yuxi lowered her head and fiddled with her skirt, oblivious to the dark look in his eyes, and simply replied, "Okay, thank you."
