In the blink of an eye, Xu Yanfeng was in front of him, his jawline tense, sweat dripping down his temples. He asked as if no one was around, "Is anything wrong?"
Xia Xi was a little embarrassed. Zhong Yinghong and Xu Junmo were still watching. She lowered her brows and handed him a tissue. "What can happen to me? Wipe your sweat quickly."
Xu Yanfeng took the tissue slowly and wiped his face casually.
He unbuttoned his cuffs, turned up his sleeves and folded them. His cold white arms were muscular and smooth. With a flip of his wrist, he threw the tissue into the trash can and called Xu Junmo on the pretext of washing his hands.
Xu Junmo had no choice but to follow.
One of the brothers leaned against the bathroom door, while the other stood in front of the sink, rubbing his hands. Xu Yanfeng tilted his head and asked directly, "Nothing happened at home after I left, right?"
Xu Junmo: "Big Tiger asked your girlfriend to go to the study and talk for a while, other than that, that's all."
Xu Yanfeng frowned, turned off the faucet, straightened his back, and stared at him: "What did you say?"
Xu Junmo tilted his head back and looked into the living room. Big Tiger should still be in the study. "I don't know. Wait a moment."
Xu Yanfeng: “?”
Xu Junmo said mysteriously, "Let's talk about it later."
In the living room, Zhong Yinghong said to Xia Xi with a very apologetic look, "I'm so sorry. Afeng's father has a stubborn temper. He's been like this for decades. When he gets angry, it's unbearable. He didn't say anything harsh to you, did he? Afeng has explained everything about the internet clearly. Maybe his father still hasn't figured it out. Don't argue with him."
"The chairman didn't mention the online rumors." Xia Xi curved her lips slightly and said lightly, "We were just chatting casually. The chairman doesn't talk much, so most of the time I was talking and he was listening."
Zhong Yinghong was skeptical: "Is that so?"
Xia Xi's eyes were sincere: "Yeah."
Zhong Yinghong finally felt relieved and said earnestly, "If you've ever been wronged, remember to tell me. Don't keep it in your heart. If you're embarrassed to tell me, tell Afeng."
Xia Xi felt warm in her heart: "I know."
Zhong Yinghong changed the subject: "I just took a look at the fish. It's still alive and kicking even though it's in the box with ice. Do you want to steam it, braise it, or boil it? I'm a great fish cooker and can cook any of them. I'll do it myself later."
Xia Xi didn't bother to be polite with her and said, "Let's steam it."
Zhong Yinghong smiled happily: "Okay."
After Xu Yanfeng arrived and someone else chatted with Xia Xi, Zhong Yinghong went to the kitchen. The servants had already prepared the fish, scraping off the scales and removing the internal organs. Zhong Yinghong put on an apron, washed her hands, and expertly scored the fish on both sides, rubbed salt on it, and marinated it with ginger slices and cooking wine. While it was marinating, she began to shred the scallions, red pepper, and other ingredients.
When dinner started, Xu Guanshan appeared again. It was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry on his face, but at least he was not as depressing as at the beginning.
While no one was paying attention, Xu Junmo sneaked into the study and took out the mobile phone hidden there. The screen showed that it was recording and time was still jumping. He pressed his finger to pause.
