He pursed his lips, smiled, and then said, slowly and deliberately, "Help me tie my apron."
Upon hearing this, Lu Wanzheng stopped chopping vegetables with an amused expression, walked to the side, and picked up an oversized apron, which she had specially bought for Xiao Qifeng at the supermarket.
The beige apron was exactly the same as the one Lu Wanzheng wore.
"Lower your head." Lu Wanzheng stood on tiptoe and opened the top rope.
Xiao Qifeng bent down slightly, lowered his head, and let the rope be put around his neck. Then he turned around and faced away from Lu Wanzheng.
Lu Wanzheng grabbed the rope that was being extended from the front and tied a pretty bow behind his back.
A delicious aroma wafted continuously from the casserole, clear yet rich in fragrance. Lu Wanzheng took a damp cloth, opened the casserole lid, and the aroma instantly became even stronger. The surface of the soup was covered with rings of oil, and the white radish chunks shone brightly. Just looking at it made one's mouth water and want to immediately scoop out a bowl. She turned her head and her eyes met Xiao Qifeng's.
The two seemed to be on the same wavelength. Xiao Qifeng handed her a freshly washed soup ladle from the side. Lu Wanzheng took it, scooped a spoonful of the soup from the surface, and gently blew on it. The oil glistened and rippled. Since she hadn't scooped much, it cooled down quickly. She tasted it and felt that the flavor was still a bit bland, so she added a little salt based on her intuition. After stirring it, she scooped another spoonful to taste it.
This time she felt it was okay, so she scooped up another spoonful with the same spoon, blew on it gently, and brought it to Xiao Qifeng's lips: "Try it and see how it tastes."
Xiao Qifeng had seen her actions earlier. He looked at her with burning eyes, but his mouth obediently took a sip of soup. The taste of radish and meat blended perfectly without interfering with each other.
The soup has a natural sweetness from the radish and a savory flavor from the meat and bones; you'll want to drink it again and again after just one sip.
Lu Wanzheng turned around, holding the casserole, intending to place it on the dining table. But as soon as she turned her head, she saw a bouquet of roses on the table. Holding the casserole, she stood there stunned.
The roses were red and vibrant, immediately catching her eye.
Xiao Qifeng took the casserole from her and placed it on the dining table. He then picked up the roses on the table and handed them to Lu Wanzheng. "Today is Valentine's Day. All the roses in the flower shop have been sold out. Luckily, I had the foresight to pre-order these roses."
"Actually, you didn't need to send me roses." Hearing that Xiao Qifeng had specially ordered them in advance reminded her of how she had completely forgotten it was Valentine's Day that morning, and the thought made her feel ashamed.
Xiao Qifeng: "If other girls have something, I will get it for you no matter how hard it is. If others don't have it, I will get it for you as long as you want it."
Why does this sound so familiar?
She had read many novels before, and the male protagonists in those novels often said similar things to the female protagonists.
"Mr. Xiao, have you been secretly reading a lot of novels about domineering CEOs falling in love with women behind my back?" She raised an eyebrow, a playful look on her face, and gave a beautiful and charming smile.
The domineering CEO falls in love with me?
He felt like he'd heard this somewhere before. He racked his brain and remembered hearing it again when he passed by the front desk.
Do young girls these days like to watch this?
Despite his thoughts, he still honestly said, "I haven't seen it."
"Haven't you ever heard someone spout such sweet nothings?" Lu Wanzheng was surprised that he had such high awareness.
