"Um, may I start eating now?"
"You can eat it." Ye Nian squinted at Jiang Duoduo. Seeing Jiang Duoduo's messy hair and dirty potato chip crumbs on her mouth, she smiled inwardly. This was perfect. It would create a contrast with her and make her a supporting character.
Jiang Duoduo felt uneasy under Ye Nian's gaze and shrank back. Although Ye Nian verbally allowed her to eat, her expression clearly indicated that she did not.
She swallowed hard, but ultimately said timidly, "Let the guests eat first."
These words made Ye Nian feel much better; she was sensible.
Until Qin Jue picked up his chopsticks.
Ye Nian stared intently at Qin Jue as he picked up a piece of green vegetable and put it in his mouth, his face full of anticipation. "Is it good?"
Qin Jue was about to chew it carefully when he suddenly realized something was wrong. His good upbringing prevented him from spitting it out; he swallowed it directly and asked with a stern face, "Who made this?"
Ye Nian noticed something unusual on Qin Jue's face, paused for a moment, and then belatedly realized that she had most likely mistaken sugar for salt. She then glanced at Jiang Duoduo and frantically hinted with her eyes to help her and take the blame.
That look in his eyes is simple and easy to understand.
Jiang Duoduo immediately understood. She picked up a leaf of vegetable, spat it out without chewing, and frowned. "It's so sweet! Niannian, aren't you good at cooking? This is awful..."
It was intentional!
Jiang Duoduo definitely did it on purpose!
Ye Nian clenched her fists on her thighs, her brows furrowed, and she gritted her teeth as she explained, "I... I might have mistaken sugar for salt."
Yes, Jiang Duoduo did it on purpose. If Ji Yue were sitting next to her, she would definitely rave about the meal. But Qin Jue was sitting next to her!
She had to make Qin Jue realize how terrible Ye Nian's cooking skills were, so that Qin Jue would stop coming to the Jiang family in the future!
The man who had been deceived by her many times had already seen through her little schemes.
Qin Jue replied calmly, "Actually, it's alright."
These four simple words left Ye Nian flattered; she never expected Qin Jue to be so tolerant of her!
Ye Nian lowered her head shyly, "I'll redo it right now."
After Ye Nian took all the dishes away, Jiang Duoduo rolled her eyes at Qin Jue and whispered, "Why are you here?"
"She invited me to dinner."
"What if she finds out!"
"So what?"
Assistant Chen, standing behind, was puzzled. "President Qin and Jiang Duoduo aren't having an affair, so why are they speaking so softly?"
President Qin is even cooperating so well...
Jiang Duoduo was angered by Qin Jue's attitude and was about to speak when Ye Nian suddenly ran over.
Ye Nian had long seen through Jiang Duoduo's ulterior motives towards Qin Jue. When he came over, he found Jiang Duoduo staring at Qin Jue with a lovesick expression. Sure enough!
"Duoduo, come here."
Jiang Duoduo followed her into the kitchen.
When she came back, she was carrying a bowl of wontons, which she had cooked herself.
There was nothing Ye Nian could do; she didn't want her to disturb her and Qin Jue's dinner, so she forced her to cook frozen food herself, finish quickly, and go back to her room.
Out of consideration for her sisterly bond with Ye Nian, Jiang Duoduo had no choice but to obey.
Anyway, no matter how big the world is, Ye Nian is the biggest.
As Jiang Duoduo sat obediently at the dining table eating wontons, Qin Jue glanced at her countless times.
Jiang Duoduo noticed, but she just ignored him.
Qin Jue glanced sideways at the little woman, who still had half a bowl of wontons left, and then put down his chopsticks.
He coldly rebuked her, "Wasting food."
Then, naturally, they took the rest.
Before Jiang Duoduo could say anything, she saw Qin Jue eating the leftovers she had eaten.
"Don't you dislike eating noodles?"
Before Qin Jue could answer, Jiang Duoduo slipped away quickly.
It was because she heard Ye Nian's footsteps as if he had finished cooking and was walking back.
How could I not run?!
