Chapter 312: A Nest of Bosses

Cai Kuan laughed and waved his hand nonchalantly, "To be honest, I haven't had such a sumptuous meal in a while."

Hearing his pitiful tone, Xing Zhou couldn't help laughing.

"Does your laboratory care so little about the health of researchers?"

"Of course I do, but I always forget to eat when I'm busy. The food I have is hot and cold, and it doesn't taste good. It just doesn't make me hungry."

Cai Kuan chuckled, he had long been accustomed to his job.

Complaints may be complaints, but when talking about scientific research, the look in his eyes suddenly changes, and that kind of gleam cannot be ignored.

Dai Qing looked at Cai Kuan's expression and admired this kind of scientific researcher from the bottom of her heart.

"If you like to eat, as long as I'm in the capital and you're not busy, just come over."

"Of course I like it, it suits my taste very much. I would love to be able to come here and have a free meal."

After hearing Dai Qing's suggestion, Cai Kuan nodded and agreed without thinking.

Eating for free is what he is best at.

Seeing his impatient look, Tang Zikai pursed his lips and looked at him quietly. This guy was not polite at all.

Dai Qing curled her lips at Cai Kuan's attitude. People who do scientific research are smart and have profound thinking, but they are very simple when it comes to social skills.

Seeing Cai Kuan like this, the rumors must be true.

Several people sat at the dining table, eating and chatting, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After dinner, Tang Zikai and Xing Zhou took the initiative to help clean up the dishes and sent them to the kitchen to wash, but were stopped by Dai Qing.

"You are my guests today, so it is unreasonable for me to let you do something. Just leave it there for now, and I will clean it myself later."

"Xiao Qing is wrong. How can you just eat and not work?"

"That's right, otherwise how can we have the nerve to come over and eat for free next time?"

Jiang He was sitting nearby, smiling and agreeing, but he didn't move. From birth to now, he had never even been to the kitchen and didn't know anything about these.

As a lawyer, he never does anything he is not good at to avoid losses.

Tang Zikai watched them busy helping to pack up, crossed his arms over his chest, looking at them coldly.

"You guys, you never even wash a teacup at home, right?"

The few people whose secrets were exposed by Tang Zikai looked at him unceremoniously.

"If you can do it, go ahead."

The fate of the couple hasn't even started yet, and you're already protecting them like this?

After the meal, they realized clearly that Xiao Qing had no such intention at all and they were just overthinking it.

As for Tang Zikai, although he hasn't figured out his own thoughts yet, his subconscious behavior of protecting the dog still makes people jealous.

If I don't take this opportunity to give him a beating, I will be going against my conscience.

Sure enough, after a few people argued about it, the job of washing dishes fell on Tang Zikai as expected. Fortunately, he did not resist. He just took the plates and bowls into the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves and started to work.

Dai Qing wiped the table clean and followed into the kitchen with a rag. She saw Tang Zikai's broad back, standing by the sink with his waist bent, washing the dishes conscientiously.

Looking at his cautious look, it was as if what he was holding in his hand was not a bowl but a piece of expensive porcelain.

Dai Qing couldn't help laughing when she saw it.

"I'll do it."

"No, I can do it." Just a few bowls, no problem at all.

Tang Zikai held the rag and looked at Dai Qing's white and tender hands with a relaxed expression.

"My aunt said that a woman's hands are her second face and must be taken good care of."

Hearing Tang Zikai's reminder, Dai Qing was stunned and subconsciously looked at her hands. In her previous life, her hands were dry and thin, like chicken claws.

After her rebirth, she has been busy and never paid attention to her hands. However, because of her practice of the mental method, she is now not only lighter, but her skin is also much whiter and softer than before.

Every time she looked in the mirror, she saw that her face was as white and smooth as a peeled egg, and she liked it very much.

She didn't expect that Tang Zikai, such a rough man, would care about this. It really surprised her.

"I live alone and do everything myself. I've gotten used to it over the years."

Although there was no sadness in Dai Qing's tone, Tang Zikai felt a little sorry for her when he heard it.

When other families are happy together, she is alone. Especially during holidays when people reunite, her loneliness will be magnified infinitely.

"Have you no other relatives?"

"No, I have never seen him. Ever since I was old enough to understand, I have been living with my grandpa. After he passed away, I have been living alone."

Looking at Tang Zikai's frown, Dai Qing smiled gently.

"I feel that living alone is pretty good, and I have never felt lonely. I am a quiet person by nature, and I would feel uncomfortable when there are too many people around."

After hearing this, Tang Zikai couldn't help but look at her. Thinking about her usual words and deeds, she was indeed calmer and more composed than the average girl.

Even so, generally speaking, no one dislikes being reunited with their family, they just have to do it when they have no other choice.

If Dai Qing knew what Tang Zikai was thinking, she would definitely be less opposed.

After the tragic experience in her previous life, she especially cherishes the quiet and leisurely life of being alone in this life.

Just as she was about to explain, there was another knock on the door. Dai Qing was stunned. All the people she invited had arrived. Who would come at this time?

Dai Qing opened the door with doubt, and was stunned when she saw Dong Zhen standing at the door.

"Boss Dong?"

"Master Dai, I am sorry to bother you."

Dong Zhen said this, and waved his hand back. The secretary immediately came forward with a bag of gifts.

"Thank you Master Dai for saving my wife. My wife always said that she was very grateful for your help, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Dong Zhen nodded in agreement, his tone full of gratitude.

"My wife has been looking for an opportunity to repay you. She never thought that the benefactor would be Master Dai... My wife originally wanted to go to your house to express her gratitude, but her health condition does not allow it. I have to do it for her. I hope the master will not mind."

Listening to Dong's tone and looking at their postures, Dai Qing waved her hands.

"I've already said it, it's just a small favor, no need to thank me."

"It's just a piece of cake for you, but for our Dong family, it's a huge favor." Thinking of his unborn son, Dong Zhen's deep eyes unconsciously revealed a bit of gentleness.

When guests came, Dai Qing couldn't block them at the door, so she had to step aside to welcome them in.

Just as they walked into the yard, Tang Zikai heard footsteps in the kitchen and asked casually,

"Who's coming?"

Without waiting for Dai Qing to speak, he walked out with a rag.

When their eyes met, Dong Zhen was stunned and stopped in his tracks. Why was this person here?

And what's in his hand, is it a rag?

At this moment, several people in the teahouse came out. When they saw Dong Zhen in the yard, they looked directly at Dai Qing.

"You have a friend coming."
