The Rain God was the first to eat the hot meal. Oh my god, there was already some pre-packaged cat food in the refrigerator. The cook had prepared it and it was easy to just steam it! Such an important thing, and none of the humans in the Xiao family knew about it.
It really breaks the cat’s heart!
The kitten was eating his meal while thinking about the cook's kindness. He couldn't help but think about how to keep the cook by his side forever. If the cook could live in the master's house like himself, then he would never have to worry about food and drink in his life... (The kitten is thinking)
Zhang Moyan used the remaining cabbage and sausage in the kitchen to make a pot of borscht with tomato sauce, and ordered a few takeout dishes to make a lunch.
"Mo Yan, you're the best. Why didn't I think of ordering takeout?"
Ms. Meng stayed in the kitchen, stealing glances at Zhang Moyan's face as she spoke. "Ah, when I praise you, I definitely don't mean to trick you into being our family's cook! We have a cooking auntie who's adept at cooking all eight major cuisines, and postpartum meals were the foundation of her career."
"Auntie..." Zhang Moyan looked at Meng Xiaoya with a little embarrassment.
"Aha," Meng Xiaoya immediately revealed, "Our Xingyu is very capable of living independently and is also a good cook. Before, when he was studying abroad, he disliked the taste of Western food and often prepared three meals a day for himself. His teacher even asked him to bring lunch!"
Zhang Moyan opened her mouth, but hesitated, not knowing what to say.
Help, why are you still letting her know Xiao Xingyu's advantages at this time! Xiao Xingyu shouldn't have told Ms. Meng about what happened in the exhibition hall yesterday... Such a handsome man who can cook is really good, but he has nothing to do with her anymore, right?
Zhang Moyan turned her head away, bit her lips slightly, and poured the soup into the bowl.
"Mo Yan, have you and Xing Yu reconciled?" Meng Xiaoya cautiously leaned forward and asked, "I think he's very happy lately... It would be great if he could settle down sooner. I really hope to see him get married and start a family before I die."
Zhang Moyan was stunned. The way Ms. Meng said these words with such a stubborn face, as well as the hopeless relationship between herself and Xiao Xingyu, made her so heartbroken that she almost couldn't hold back her tears.
"Auntie, Mr. Xing, Mr. Xiao, and I might be breaking up because of something."
Let’s tell the truth.
"Ah?..." Meng Xiaoya was caught off guard. Her dream of having a grandchild was shattered. She was struck by lightning and didn't understand what was going on.
However, as an outstanding female entrepreneur with both talent and beauty, who can see the big picture from small details and is experienced and mature, Chairman Meng, although very confused, did not choose to ask any further questions. Instead, she turned around and enthusiastically called the two girls to start eating quickly.
On the TV in the living room, a city was suffering from a once-in-a-century flood disaster. Amid the announcer's mournful voice, Sasa and her little aunt were enjoying the meal with great relish.
As expected, human beings do not share the same joys and sorrows. Zhang Moyan looked at the scene in front of her with sorrow.
She took off her apron and hung it up, then came back and said goodbye to Meng Xiaoya politely: "Auntie, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."
"Huh? Aren't you going to eat with us? Eat here, you worked so hard to make this!"
Zhang Moyan shook her head and lied, "I've already eaten outside. If you have nothing else to do, I won't bother you."
"Oh..." Meng Xiaoya noticed Zhang Moyan's unspeakable expression, "Then go ahead and do whatever you want. Thank you so much for today!"
Zhang Moyan politely agreed until they walked out of door 302 and the door closed.
She turned her back dejectedly and returned to the state of being overwhelmed by powerlessness.
When she opened the door of Room 301, she heard footsteps downstairs. She subconsciously looked towards the corner of the stairs and suddenly found that the person coming was Xiao Xingyu.
Xiao Xingyu raised his head as if sensing something, and their eyes met, both of them frozen in place.
The air seemed to be filled with many complicated things. After a tense and brief pause, Zhang Moyan quickly walked down two steps.
"How is Zhou Xia? Is he okay?" Zhou Xia's safety made her so worried that she couldn't take care of herself anymore.
Xiao Xingyu said nothing, remained motionless, and stared at Zhang Moyan.
Zhang Moyan paused, hesitating whether to advance or retreat under such a gaze. "I...I heard from my aunt that Zhou Xia is allergic to anesthesia during surgery. The situation is very dangerous. Even Dean Geng has to go into surgery. But isn't Dean Geng a neurosurgeon?"
Xiao Xingyu looked at his own door, then turned his gaze back, but still did not answer Zhang Moyan's question.
The scene remained still for a long time. Just when Zhang Moyan was about to be overwhelmed by the feeling of embarrassment, Xiao Xingyu suddenly walked towards her step by step, until they were almost eye-level.
In an instant, under the cover of Xiao Xingyu's powerful aura, Zhang Moyan could hardly breathe.
"Zhou Xia..." She mustered up the courage to whisper, "Are you okay?"
Xiao Xingyu still didn't reply. His eyes, bloodshot from staying up late, seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, unfathomable.
In fact, his silence already meant an answer - not so good, nor so bad.
But what is it exactly?
"...Is she okay?" Zhang Moyan waited with hope in her eyes.
Xiao Xingyu's Adam's apple moved, but he changed his mind and tilted his head towards Room 301, saying calmly, "Let's go inside and talk!"
Go in, go in?
Xiao Xingyu still wants to enter her house?
Her identity was exposed yesterday, what is he going to do?
Have you settled the bill?
Zhang Moyan was struggling internally, but if she didn't let in, would Xiao Xingyu not tell her about Zhou Xia's situation?
After a slight hesitation, Zhang Moyan went up and opened the door.
Xiao Xingyu entered the house first without any courtesy, closed the door and changed his shoes, just like usual, as if nothing had happened.
He walked straight into the bathroom, took a towel, turned on the faucet and rubbed his face. Zhang Moyan followed him, at a loss.
