Jiang Nian didn't think too much about it.
Hearing her commotion, Pipi happily wiggled its little bottom and ran to her, making little "woof woof" noises.
Jiang Nian squatted down and rubbed Pipi's little head, then got up and walked towards the kitchen.
As soon as she entered the kitchen, before she could even react, she bumped into the arms of a tall, broad-chested man.
The man suddenly pulled her slender waist into a tight embrace.
A familiar scent enveloped him. With a swift movement, he lifted her up and placed her on the clean kitchen counter.
Then his tall, hot body pressed closer. He braced one hand on the table, and with the other, he gathered the girl's long hair, skillfully placing a tender kiss on her neck.
"...You're back?"
Jiang Nian couldn't help but tilt her head back, catch her breath, and then hummed in response.
He tilted his head and met those unfathomable black eyes.
"You know what happened. Did you send people to kidnap Jiang Sheng this morning?"
Since Si Boye has already called Director Zhang, he should already know the whole story.
Only Si Boye could kidnap Jiang Sheng in broad daylight, dump him in the hospital, and leave no trace.
“He deserves it,” Si Boye said lazily, clearly not taking the matter to heart.
He casually toyed with the girl's soft black hair with his fingertips, and said...
“I warned him not to call the police. I never imagined he was so suicidal that he would even dare to target you…”
From an angle unseen by Jiang Nian, Si Boye's cold eyes suddenly revealed a hint of danger.
Jiang Nian didn't know what Si Boye had done to Jiang Sheng before she returned, and she didn't want him to have any more entanglements with trash like Jiang Sheng because of her.
"Forget it, the Jiang family isn't worth wasting any effort on."
"But you, Lin Qian said you'd cook something for me in the kitchen—"
Jiang Nian looked around. The huge kitchen was spotless, as if nothing had been cooked in it.
“This…” The man’s thin lips pursed slightly, his eyes unusually unfocused.
Seeing Si Boye's expression, Jiang Nian got off the kitchen counter.
I walked around the kitchen and sure enough, I found a bunch of dark things in the trash can.
It took me a while to recognize that this looked like overcooked black sesame dumplings.
This man, it seems, was pampered from childhood and has never even stepped into the kitchen. He couldn't control the heat when cooking the glutinous rice balls, and not wanting her to find out, he secretly threw them away.
Unexplained childishness.
When Si Boye saw that his failed attempt at making glutinous rice balls had been discovered, he simply gave up and hugged her, resting his chin on the top of her head: "Let's go out to eat, or have Auntie make some for you. What do you want to eat?"
"No need, I'll do it."
Jiang Nian took off her school uniform jacket. As she spoke, she casually rolled up the sleeves of her shirt, her voice cool and aloof, "Go outside and wait for me."
Is Niannian going to cook something for him herself?
Si Boye's eyes suddenly lit up.
A smile curved at the corners of his mouth.
Seeing his boss come out of the kitchen, Lin Qian greeted him: "Mr. Bo, have you finished making the late-night snack for Miss?"
Si Boye, with a languid posture, suddenly turned his gaze to Lin Qian and asked casually, "Lin Qian, have you ever had a girlfriend?"
Why is my boss suddenly asking if I've ever had a girlfriend?
Lin Qian honestly shook his head: "No."
Someone like him, who has to be on call with his boss 24/7, has no time for dating.
Si Boye glanced at him again.
"So that means you've never had a girl you liked cook for you?"
Lin Qian couldn't understand why his boss was asking this, but he remained respectful and said, "Indeed, I haven't."
The next second, Si Boye casually said, "I have some. Niannian is in the kitchen, making me something to eat."
"..."
Lin Qian felt like cursing at that moment.
After all that, the boss had set up all that just to show off that the young lady was personally cooking for him inside.
Fine, you can set things up, but why use him as a prelude? Being single for over twenty years is a painful topic to even mention.
He just said those few words out of curiosity.
Lin Qian was internally ranting, but on the surface he still had to flatter his boss with an envious look: "Congratulations, Mr. Bo. Miss is so good to you, Mr. Bo."
"really."
Si Boye was pleased with what he heard and withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.
Go and sit down at the dining table.
Twenty minutes later, Jiang Nian came out carrying a plate.
"Baby, are you done?" Si Boye leaned back in his chair, his eyes fixed on the baby.
"Wait a minute." The girl seemed to have forgotten something, put the bowl on the table, and then turned back to the kitchen.
As soon as she left, Si Boye looked at the plate on the table.
However, upon closer inspection, his expression changed.
Although he didn't know if Niannian could cook, the food she made—wasn't it a bit too...unappetizing?
It looks almost the same as the black sesame dumplings he overcooked.
It's like a clump of muddy paste, its colors a jumbled mess of red, yellow, and green. You can't even tell what it's made of.
“Uh…” Lin Qian also saw it and said with difficulty, “Boss, it seems that although Miss is good at many things, she is not very good at cooking.”
"How about I book a restaurant for you now?"
Si Boye took a deep breath: "No need."
Even if the late-night snack that Niannian made for him was terrible, he would still finish it all.
Si Boye originally wanted to use chopsticks, but he couldn't pick up anything from the plate at all, so he could only scoop up a spoonful and put it in his mouth.
That bite almost made him spit it out.
It had a sticky, gooey texture, no salt flavor whatsoever, and just a mix of strange tastes—it was truly awful.
Let's try to limit Nian Nian's time in the kitchen in the future...
His baby is only suited to be a ruthless conqueror, not a domestic cook.
Seeing that the girl had already come out of the kitchen, Si Boye forced himself to swallow what was in his mouth.
As soon as Jiang Nian came over, she saw Si Boye holding a spoon in his hand, and her eyes widened slightly.
He asked in surprise, "You ate the food on your plate?"
Si Boye nodded calmly without changing his expression: "Delicious. As expected of my baby, you are so excellent at everything you do."
Jiang Nian opened her mouth: "...That's the dog food I made for Pipi. I just went in to get it some goat milk powder, which I was going to add to its food."
He looked at the plate and asked a question.
"A puree of cooked chicken breast, chicken liver, beef, carrots, and broccoli—are you sure you think it tastes good? I didn't expect you to have such unique tastes."
