He Jing sighed helplessly. Why did a perfectly normal person have to grow a mouth?
She placed the rag on the pot lid to insulate it from the heat, then lifted the lid to check the soup inside. It was cooked just right.
She took a sip and found the soup was salty. She asked in surprise, "Third Brother, did you put salt in for me?"
He Zhou took a bite of chocolate and glanced at her indifferently: "Is that not allowed? Don't expect me to thank you for the chocolate, it's what I deserve."
He Jing smiled and said, "If I don't ask Third Brother to do things for me anymore, can I send him chocolates?"
She paused, then added with a mischievous glint in her eyes, "Third Brother wouldn't want it, would he?"
He Zhou choked, his expression a mixture of shame and anger. He coldly sneered, "Do you think I'm stupid? Why would I take something given to me for free? You'd better give it to me every day, not a single day less."
He Jing sighed softly, "Oh~"
He Zhou's forehead veins twitched, and he felt inexplicably annoyed.
He didn't really like her chocolate that much, so why was she showing off like that!
If she's so capable, she shouldn't...
"Since Third Brother likes the chocolates I gave him so much, I will buy him more and better chocolates."
deliver.
He Zhou suddenly lost all sense of reason.
He looked at He Jing's beautiful yet innocent face, her smile was so infuriating, but he just couldn't say a word.
After a long pause, he squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth: "You'd better remember that."
He Jing: "Okay~"
Having learned from He Yi's mistake, Cheng Yi scanned the living room and quickly noticed that He Zhou was gone. She looked towards the kitchen, narrowed her eyes, and her gaze shifted...
Mother He said, "Xiaoyi, let me save your phone number."
Cheng Yi didn't have a cell phone before, but now that she's back at the Cheng family home, she should have one.
With Cheng Yi's contact information, she no longer needed to find out about Cheng Yi's situation through He Yuan.
Cheng Yi gave He's mother her phone number, glanced at the text message Ye Shuping sent, stood up and said, "Mom, I won't stay for dinner."
Mrs. He was quite surprised. She thought Cheng Yi had come up to have a good get-together with her, but she didn't expect her to leave so soon.
Cheng Yi shook her phone with a troubled expression, letting He's mother understand her predicament. He's mother quickly said, "Then I'll take you."
Cheng Yi immediately shook her head and said understandingly, "Mom, you've been with me for so long. If this continues, Sister He Jing will be unhappy. Go to the kitchen and see if Sister He Jing's meal is ready. I have my third brother to take me."
Mr. He had originally intended to get up to see him off, but upon hearing this, he sat back down.
Upon hearing this, Mother He was deeply moved and felt that this was a good idea.
She didn't think too deeply about why Cheng Yi, who was closest to He Ning, wouldn't let He Ning see her off. She simply went into the kitchen, greeted He Jing, and said to He Zhou, "Xiao Zhou, you... Cheng Yi is going back. Go see her off. I'll stay here."
After saying that, afraid that He Jing would be unhappy, He Jing's mother looked at He Jing in a flattering way: "Jingjing, how is your soup coming along? Let me help you."
He Jing didn't object, and replied with a smile, "It's cooked exceptionally well. Mom, would you like to try some and see how it tastes?"
He Zhou frowned, looked at He Jing, and saw that she was indifferent to his plan to send Cheng Yi away, and did not show any jealousy or intention to stop him. He couldn't help but sneer and turned away coldly.
He watched Cheng Yi patiently standing in the entryway waiting for him to see him off, and the gloom between his brows vanished, replaced by a false, perfect smile.
Cheng Yi called out crisply, "Third Brother."
He Zhou walked over and said gently, "Okay, let's go."
