Xia Ningmi turned her head and looked at Du Yuanzhe, her eyes full of confusion.

She clearly followed the instructions strictly, not even a gram of flour was wrong, so why was the final result so different?

Du Yuanzhe sighed, he knew this would happen.

He rolled up his sleeves and walked into the kitchen, saying, "Kneading dough is not just about getting the ratio of flour to water right. It also requires certain skills. Even if the kneading force is not right, it will not be smooth."

If you don’t know how to knead the dough, making a bowl of longevity noodles is even more difficult than making pork with preserved vegetables.

Du Yuanzhe said: "Let me do it."

Xia Ning didn't try to show off. She had to admit that she really had no talent in cooking. She made a mess of something that seemed easy, and continuing to do it would only be a waste of ingredients.

Xia Ning said, "Don't do it. I ordered food from the hotel and it will be delivered in an hour."

She originally wanted to make longevity noodles as a staple food, but now it seems that this idea cannot be realized.

Du Yuanzhe kept moving his hands: "Since I've already started, I might as well finish it. I'll let you taste the longevity noodles I made later."

No one says you can’t make longevity noodles for yourself.

Then Xia Ningmi saw that Du Yuanzhe kneaded the unruly dough in her hands into a smooth dough in just a few strokes.

"Wait for it to rise for thirty minutes."

As soon as the two of them sat down in the living room, they received a call from Liu Xu.

Liu Xu just said "check out the trending searches on Weibo" and hung up the phone.

Du Yuanzhe's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he had messed up and exposed his identity?

He quickly opened the trending searches on Weibo, and a bright word "explosive" came into view.

#Xia Ning finds Jiang Chelin#

Du Yuanzhe felt irritated when he saw this entry. Why did Xia Ningmi become a hot topic together with Jiang Chelin?

He clicked on the trending search, and after reading the first Weibo post, he understood the whole cause and effect. In the end, it was his own fault.

Previously, countless netizens went to Qianying Entertainment's official Weibo account to inquire about the owner of the sports car. Xia Ningmi instructed the company to ignore the information and did not respond.

The netizen refused to give up until he got an answer, and began to investigate the owner of the sports car. Within half an hour, a netizen revealed that there was only one person in the entire Yancheng who owned a sports car of this brand.

And this person is Jiang Chelin.

Jiang Chelin is not a high-profile person. The reason netizens were able to track him down was entirely because of He Chen. This guy posted a photo of the car on Weibo a year ago and clearly stated that it was borrowed from Jiang Chelin.

Netizens who thought they had solved the case became even more excited.

What does this mean?

Are the two entertainment giants joining forces?

For a while, netizens filled their minds with all kinds of plots about the perfect match. What was even more outrageous was that the two quickly had CP fans, and their fan base gradually grew larger. They began to post comments everywhere saying that the two were a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman, and a match made in heaven. At first glance, it seemed that the two of them being together was what everyone wanted.

Even Weibo posts comparing the two from a few years ago were dug up, and there was an inexplicable sense of fate, and many people were buying into this sense of fate.

And also created an entry - former rivals have become today's lovers.

Bullshit!

Du Yuanzhe was so angry when he saw this that he almost swore.

"A group of people are just making wild claims without doing any thorough investigation. I'm going to sue them for defamation."

Xia Ningmi was sitting next to him. When she saw this trending search, she immediately called Cheng Yu and asked, "Why don't you clarify it?"

Cheng Yu was stunned: "Didn't you say to ignore it?"

Xia Ningmi said calmly: "Issue a denial immediately! Contact Jiang and have them issue a statement together."

Cheng Yu quickly agreed: "Yes, President."

Du Yuanzhe snorted coldly: "What is Jiang Chelin doing? The trending searches have exploded, but he has no reaction at all."

Is this the reaction speed that the male protagonist should have?

He doesn't want a girlfriend.

.......

Jiang Chelin, who was complained by Du Yuanzhe, was getting drunk at the Yun'an Club. Zhou Chenlang and He Chen were accompanying him, and the three of them were a little confused after drinking.

He Chen was drunk and said, "If you ask me, what's the point of a woman? With Che Lin's status, he can have any woman he wants. Why does he have to hang himself on Wei Lingling?"

Zhou Chenlang frowned: "Don't talk nonsense."

Jiang Chelin had just been kicked out of the house by Wei Lingling, who very seriously proposed to break up. No matter how he tried to persuade her, Wei Lingling insisted on breaking up. In the end, Jiang Chelin lost his patience and agreed to break up in a fit of anger.

Then he regretted it and called Wei Lingling, but found that Wei Lingling had blocked him and he couldn't get through. Jiang Chelin had no intention of doing his job, so he asked his two brothers to come over for a drink.

During this period, he kept calling Wei Lingling until her phone was turned off and Wei Lingling did not answer his calls.

Zhou Chenlang watched from the side, thinking that since she has blocked him, she wouldn't know even if you beat her for three days and three nights. But seeing Jiang Chelin's decadent look, he didn't have the heart to rub salt into his wounds.

The only one who could make the arrogant Jiang Chelin become like this is Wei Lingling.

Seeing that Jiang Chelin was so drunk and still calling Wei Lingling's name in a daze, Zhou Chenlang couldn't bear it anymore, so he found Wei Lingling's number on his phone and called her.

Wei Lingling answered quickly: "Hello, who is this?"

Zhou Chenlang felt even more sympathetic towards Jiang Chelin and said, "I'm Zhou Chenlang. Chelin is drunk and keeps calling your name. Can you come pick him up?"

Wei Lingling was silent for a moment, then said, "We have broken up. Please don't look for me for this kind of thing in the future."

Zhou Chenlang frowned, "You sound like you've been approached before about this, Wei Lingling, do you really care? Che Lin often mentioned you to us, saying that he would bring you to see us if you agreed. We've waited for so long, but you still didn't want to meet us as his girlfriend."

"We all see how serious Che Lin is about this relationship. Why can't you just talk about it openly? Why do you have to be so cruel and sentence him to death?"

Wei Lingling's tone remained unchanged: "Our affairs have nothing to do with you."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

He Chen listened to the whole thing and was so angry that he cursed: "Fuck, this woman is sick, what on earth does she want?"

Zhou Chenlang shook his head and said nothing.

At this moment, Zhou Chenlang's cell phone rang. It was Jiang Chelin's assistant calling, saying that Qianying Entertainment contacted them to issue a statement together.

When Zhou Chenlang heard that it was related to Xia Ningmi, he said, "Your president is drunk and can't make a decision for the time being, but he has always disliked getting involved with other women. Since Qianying Entertainment is going to issue a statement, you should also clarify it. You also know Che Lin, he will definitely make such a decision. If Che Lin feels that he handled it inappropriately after waking up, I will take care of everything."

The assistant nodded in agreement.

Given Jiang Chelin's personality, he would definitely do this, and with Zhou Chenlang's endorsement, the assistant asked the public relations department to cooperate with Qianying Entertainment to issue a clarification statement.

As a result, netizens who were surfing the Internet soon saw the statements issued by Qianying Entertainment and Jiang’s company one after another.

@千影訛樂: Our company's president has no relationship with President Jiang. Do not believe in rumors and do not spread them!

@蔣氏集团: The boss’s car is still parked safely in the garage. I hope everyone will not spread false information.

Fans who were supporting the couple found that they were broken up by the couple’s protagonists just as they started supporting the couple, and the breakup was very thorough.

The two companies issued statements one after the other, indicating that the two people really have no relationship at all.

They are not celebrities, so there is no possibility that they are hiding their relationship for the sake of their careers. Since they have denied it, it is very likely that it has nothing to do with them.

"What a shame, they are a perfect match together and they are a perfect match made in heaven."

"Wuwuwu, my CP was broken up like this, I'm so sad"

"Hahaha, I just think it's impossible. I still remember Jiang Chelin was on the hot search before. How can such an irresponsible person be worthy of President Xia? President Xia will definitely not look for a boyfriend in a trash can."

“….”

As soon as the two companies' statements came out, the comments below were divided into three camps. Some people who were just watching the show thought that the two of them were fine together, some felt it was a pity that they were not together but were very calm, and the newly strong CP fans cried out and hoped that they could consider each other. The last group did not want them to be together. There were quite a few people in this category, including Xia Ningmi's fans and the CP fans that Xiaopang called **.

Du Yuanzhe's expression softened when he saw the changes in online comments, but he was still angry: "Who on earth exposed Jiang Chelin? He is simply a troublemaker."

Xia Ning looked at him calmly: "Could it be that you drove the car to the company gate?"

Du Yuanzhe choked and was speechless.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had miscalculated. The sensation caused this time was too big, especially with Jiang Chelin and Xia Ningmi involved. The heat would definitely not subside for a while.

It's totally asking for trouble.

However, although there were some unexpected things when declaring sovereignty, it was still under control.

Du Yuanzhe successfully made longevity noodles. At the same time, the dishes Xia Ning ordered also arrived.

Because it was Du Yuanzhe's birthday, Xia Ningmi ordered three spicy dishes. They were not as spicy as boiled beef. These three dishes were of average spiciness, basically within the range that Du Yuanzhe could tolerate.

Du Yuanzhe placed a bowl of longevity noodles in front of Xia Ningmi and said, "Come and try the longevity noodles I made. There is really only one noodle in it."

Du Yuanzhe also added some green vegetables as garnish.

Xia Ning took a small sip.

Du Yuanzhe asked: "How is it?"

“Very ordinary noodles, nothing special.”

Du Yuanzhe was angry for a moment: "Don't you think it's more chewy than ordinary noodles?"

Xia Ning took another sip and said, "I don't think so."

Du Yuanzhe was stunned, then he slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot, the noodles you ate before must not be ordinary noodles."

The most common noodles Xia Ningmi had ever eaten were probably the beef noodles they had in Jiangcheng, but those noodles were also very chewy, and Xia Ningmi didn’t eat much, so she probably didn’t even remember it.

Du Yuanzhe sat next to her and said, "Forget it. I'm very happy that you can eat longevity noodles with me on your birthday."

If you want Xia Ning to praise him against her will, it would be better to change the subject.

Du Yuanzhe looked around the long table and said with a smile, "I thought you would prepare a candlelight dinner for me."

Xia Ning said: "Candlelight hurts your eyes. If you want, I can prepare it."

It was the first time that Du Yuanzhe heard the words "candlelight hurts the eyes" and he couldn't help laughing: "I only care whether it's you who accompanies me to dinner or not. Candlelight or not is not important."

His Qiqi may be born without romantic cells, so we can't expect her to be very romantic.

They sat together to eat dinner as they did before. Du Yuanzhe kept talking about something, and Xia Ningmi would only occasionally respond, but she listened very carefully.

After dinner, Xia Ningmi said, "I'll go get you a gift."

Then I went upstairs.

Du Yuanzhe looked at her back and laughed out loud. He really couldn't expect too much from Xia Ningmi's romance.

He had been wondering whether Xia Ningmi would prepare another surprise for him, but facts proved that Xia Ningmi had no such awareness.

After a while, Xia Ningmi came downstairs with a small box in her hand, which looked like the kind of box that held rings.

Before Du Yuanzhe could guess, Xia Ningmi opened the box. There were indeed rings inside, and they were a pair of couple rings.

She said: "I searched online and they all said that couple rings would be a good choice as gifts for boyfriends, so I asked someone to order this pair of rings."

This is a pair of silver-colored rings. There are no patterns or carvings on them. They look very simple and the style is also very common, not very unique.

Xia Ningmi seemed to know what he was thinking and said, "In addition to couples, many people also buy this style of ring to wear on their own. You don't have to worry about attracting attention."

It was obvious that Xia Ning had considered everything very comprehensively.

Du Yuanzhe held up her left hand and put the smaller plain ring on her middle finger. He said softly, "Although in our country we emphasize that men wear the left hand and women wear the right hand, there is a saying that the left hand is closer to the heart. I prefer to follow this saying."

Xia Ningmi picked up the remaining plain ring and put it on the middle finger of Du Yuanzhe's left hand. She looked at the shining ring and said, "I like this statement."

Du Yuanzhe raised his hand to look at the ring of suitable size and asked with a smile: "How do you know the size?"

Xia Ning said: "The company has all your information, including the size of each finger."

Many people say that celebrities themselves are commodities, which is not wrong. Every part of their body has commercial value, including their fingers. There will always be jewelry brands looking for celebrities to endorse them.

Du Yuanzhe yelled that it was unfair: "I don't even know the size of your fingers. If I want to surprise you in the future, I will have to measure your fingers secretly."

Xia Ningmi: "I'll send it to you another day."

Du Yuanzhe continued, "Since you are going to send it, just send all the information to me. I will definitely buy you a lot of things in the future."

Xia Ningmi agreed: "Okay."

Du Yuanzhe was satisfied. He stretched out his left hand and interlocked his fingers with hers. Looking at the two plain rings touching each other, he couldn't help but smile: "Qiqi, I like this gift very much."

Xia Ningmi said: "I know you will like it."

Du Yuanzhe looked at her and smiled: "You really are not humble at all."

Xia Ningmi raised her eyebrows: "I'm not wrong, why should we be humble? Being too humble is hypocrisy."

Du Yuanzhe nodded: "That's right, Qiqi doesn't need to be humble."

Jingle Bells——

As soon as the call was connected, Liu Xu's complicated voice came: "I don't know what to say, let's look at the trending searches."

What happened again?

Du Yuanzhe opened the trending search and saw the word "explosive" after the first trending search again.

#夏凝覓發微博# ???

Does Qiqi have a Weibo account?

How come he doesn't know?

Du Yuanzhe acted faster than he thought. He clicked on the trending search on Weibo and saw a yellow V with the nickname Xia Ningmi. When he clicked on it, he found out that her identity was the president of Xia Corporation.

It's really Qiqi!

Xia Ningmi should have just opened a Weibo account, and the number of her followers is increasing rapidly.

Du Yuanzhe's eyes fell on the only Weibo post she posted. He read that sentence over and over again many times, but he was still reluctant to look away.

@夏凝覓: To me, he is a gift from God
