Li Xi came out of the kitchen carrying the dishes and saw Assistant Jiang sniffing with his nose wrinkled. Li Xi was in a good mood because her cooking was so anticipated. "You guys are back. Go wash your hands. The dishes are ready and we can eat soon."
Luo Jingxuan had become accustomed to Li Xi's cooking. Although he was looking forward to it, he did not show it on his face. He nodded lightly and went back to his room to change clothes and wash his hands.
Assistant Jiang's inner thoughts were full of emotion, his facial expressions barely twitching. He'd learned a lot about facial control from his boss, the ice maker. However, his actions betrayed his eagerness.
Li Xi slid down, and he had already walked to the kitchen door, "I'll help."
As he said that, he went into the kitchen and washed his hands at the sink, but his eyes were on the dishes on the counter.
Li Xi wanted to laugh when she saw his impatience, but she was worried that he would feel uncomfortable, so she held it back and calmly ordered people to do their work, "Then take these dishes out, and I'll go get the soup."
After saying that, he ignored Assistant Jiang, took a bowl and spoon, opened the lid of the casserole and prepared to serve the soup.
After Li Xi brought out the soup, Assistant Jiang not only put the dishes in place, but also set the bowls and chopsticks for the three of them. Li Xi couldn't help but sigh, this action was too fast, was he going to starve the child?
Assistant Jiang didn't think there was anything wrong with his behavior. When he saw Li Xi coming out, he asked her to sit down, "Ms. Li, you sit down first. I'll take care of the rest."
Li Xi also noticed that he was still a little uncomfortable, so she let him do it.
This was the scene Luo Jingxuan saw when he came down from the third floor. His right-hand man, sleeves rolled up, was spooning soup into a small bowl. His nominal wife sat at the dining table, her chin propped up by her hands, staring at Assistant Jiang without blinking, looking like a good girl.
For some reason, Luo Jingxuan felt that this scene was a bit jarring, and he really wanted to turn the girl's head around and make her look at him. This thought came out of nowhere, and Luo Jingxuan didn't think much of it, just thinking that he was not used to his assistant entering the house.
Over there, Li Xi also spotted Luo Jingxuan's figure. She turned to look at Luo Jingxuan and waved at him with a hand, "Come on, it's time to eat."
Luo Jingxuan still had that stern face, but his expression softened a little.
He walked quickly to the dining table and sat down. Assistant Jiang placed the soup for Luo Jingxuan right in front of him. "Boss, soup."
"Thank you." Luo Jingxuan thanked him politely, and Assistant Jiang also sat down to prepare to eat.
Li Xi's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them several times, and the desire to ship them together was about to start. Cold-faced boss VS amorous assistant, wow~ it's so good.
Li Xi's imagination was overflowing with thoughts, and she smiled. Across from him, Luo Jingxuan was about to pick up his bowl to drink his soup when he looked up and saw Li Xi grinning at him. His eyebrows raised, wondering what on earth this girl was thinking of.
Noticing the look Luo Jingxuan was giving her, Li Xi immediately came back to her senses and coughed dryly to cover it up. Li Xi's smile remained unchanged, "Eat, eat."
Without even glancing at Luo Jingxuan's reaction, she picked up the bowl and began to drink the soup. The soup, made with fresh pheasant, was pure and delicious without any other side dishes. Li Xi even said she could have two more bowls.
Apparently, Assistant Jiang felt the same way. After finishing the soup in the bowl in a few gulps, he picked up the spoon and filled another bowl.
Assistant Jiang ate with relish. Li Xi was in a good mood and quickly asked Assistant Jiang to eat. "Don't just drink the soup, eat the vegetables. There are so many dishes, you better eat them quickly."
"Okay." Assistant Jiang put down his soup bowl with a feigned air of reserve and picked up a piece of spareribs with his chopsticks. Initially, he'd been thinking, dining with the boss, he'd need to be graceful and gentle. But once the spareribs entered his mouth, all thoughts of table manners and the boss's intimidation faded away. After quickly showing off the spareribs on his chopsticks, Assistant Jiang took another.
"Ms. Li, these spareribs are delicious." Before the spareribs went into her mouth, Assistant Jiang praised Li Xi. Before Li Xi could answer, the spareribs went into Assistant Jiang's mouth again.
Li Xi, who was chewing on the ribs, twitched her lips. "Are you in such a hurry? Can't you wait until the other person finishes talking before eating? It's such a big plate, how much can the two of us eat?" Hehe.
Speechless as she was, Li Xi was still happy to see Assistant Jiang enjoying his meal. This was the sense of accomplishment that comes from being recognized.
Although Luo Jingxuan also enjoyed Li Xi's cooking, he rarely expressed his admiration. He always silently finished his meal, rarely praising Li Xi verbally. Having him eat her cooking gave Li Xi a sense of accomplishment, but it wasn't much. It was still Assistant Jiang who was so honest and lovable.
Luo Jingxuan was speechless as he watched Assistant Jiang's frenzied eating. Had he treated this assistant unfairly? Why did he act like he hadn't eaten enough?
Assistant Jiang couldn't see the boss's slightly furrowed brow at this moment. All he could see and think about was the dish in front of him. It was truly delicious. It wasn't that he hadn't eaten good food before, but Li Xi's dishes had a unique flavor that made him want to stop.
Although Li Xi always cooks according to the recipe, different people have different tastes. The same recipe can make different people taste different. Assistant Jiang has never tasted the taste of Li Xi's dishes anywhere else.
After a delicious meal, Assistant Jiang still felt unsatisfied. He hid his hands under the table and rubbed his stomach slowly, looking at Li Xi intently, "Ms. Li, can I eat your cooking next time?"
"Sure, you've helped me a lot, I should thank you." Li Xi made the invitation generously, unlike in the previous message where she had repeatedly emphasized that Assistant Jiang must ask Luo Jingxuan's opinion first.
"No, no, it's what I should do." Facing the boss's death gaze, Assistant Jiang said embarrassedly.
"You are being paid by Mr. Luo. Although it was his order to help me, I am the one who is getting the benefits. I should say thank you."
