There are leftover dishes from Aunt Li's departure in the kitchen, just in case they feel like cooking for themselves.
The good news is that although she wasn't interested, she had Lin Shen, so the vegetables weren't wasted.
How would you like to eat the chicken wings?
Xia Wenxi thought for a while, "I want to eat both salted egg yolk chicken wings and cola chicken wings."
"Then let's do both."
Lin Shen is very efficient at cooking. When they were at the farm, she was even given the job of tending the fire, but at home, she doesn't even need to tend the fire anymore.
Helping out really just involved peeling garlic.
Since she couldn't offer any practical help, Xia Wenxi could only offer verbal assistance.
"Lin Shen, is there any dish you can't cook? You're amazing! I want to hire you as my personal chef."
Emotional value must be provided adequately.
Lin Shen slowly and methodically chopped ginger. The kitchen counter was a bit low for him, so he had to bend over slightly while chopping vegetables.
The well-fitting shirt was slightly taut, showing off the strong back muscles.
"How much salary is Miss Xia planning to pay her private chef?"
After Xia Wenxi watched him put down the knife and made sure that no one would be startled and cause any bloodshed, she leaned over and kissed Lin Shen on the right cheek.
"This is my salary."
Lin Shen nodded slightly, as if he was seriously considering whether the salary was reasonable.
"Mr. Xia, would you consider adding a little more? After all, my dishes taste fantastic."
"Meow—"
A meow interrupted the two's "salary negotiation." Little Fish slowly walked over and rubbed against their feet. Behind it, leaning against the door frame, was none other than Xia Wensheng.
"You two should take it easy, or you'll corrupt the children."
As Xia Wensheng spoke, he glanced at the little fish swimming around in the kitchen, his meaning clear: the little fish could easily lead the child astray.
Xia Wenxi retorted, not to be outdone, "Little fish will have to be sterilized when they grow up. Isn't it better to enjoy the beauty of love now?"
Xia choked on her words and couldn't speak for a while before retorting, "Don't talk about spaying or neutering in front of Xiaoyuer, it scares the cat!"
Xia Wenxi rolled her eyes and said to Lin Shen, "Lin Shen, you should assign him some work. It won't do for him to just eat rice without doing anything."
"Okay." Lin Shen agreed and said to Xia Wensheng, "Brother, can you help me process the salted egg yolks?"
Hearing Lin Shen call out like that, Xia Wenxi subconsciously looked at Xia Wensheng's expression. Unexpectedly, this guy didn't have a dark face. Instead, he took the salted duck egg as if it were a matter of course and happily started eating.
She said that something must have happened during the forty-five minutes she was sleeping that she didn't know about.
And then there's Lin Shen, who calls her "brother" much more naturally than she does.
After eating Lin Shen's cooking, Xia Wensheng thought it would be good to have Lin Shen join the family. If all else failed, he could change his name to Mingsheng!
Are you going on a business trip the day after tomorrow? When will you be back?
"Yes, the flight is early the day after tomorrow. If all goes well, I can be back in four days, but it might be delayed to a week. I'll bring you a gift when I get back."
"Okay, but remember to take care of yourself while you're busy with work, and come back early."
After Xia Wenxi finished speaking, she put a chicken wing into Lin Shen's bowl.
Xia Wensheng watched the two of them go back and forth, took a big bite of food, and then picked up his phone to send a message to Minghuan.
Mr. Xia, whose eyes were blinded by the radiance of the young couple, needed some comfort.
That evening, Xia Wenxi thought she had just seen Lin Shen off, but when she returned, she saw Xia Wensheng still in the living room, looking like he had something to say to her.
"Isn't Dengdeng at your house? Why aren't you going back?"
Xia Wenxi walked over, wanting to hear what he had to say.
"It's okay, I just checked the security camera, Dengdeng is behaving well."
Wenxi! I used to think you were a shallow person! I never imagined you'd be attracted to Lin Shen's soul.
The soul of Chef Xiao Fu.
Although she didn't know what Xia Wensheng meant by those words, Xia Wenxi still spoke the truth: "I am clearly a person who sees the deep from the shallow. I like both the soul and the face. Thank you."
After saying that, she ignored him and went upstairs by herself.
Today was supposed to be a holiday, so let's take it all. Xia Wenxi washed up early and went to bed to relax.
First, browse through all the social media apps, then choose a favorite novel to spend a relaxing and enjoyable evening.
While scrolling through my WeChat Moments, I liked all the posts from my parents. The two of them seemed incredibly happy, having been posting on Moments ever since they arrived in the capital.
Further down, I saw Zhang Jiayi's WeChat Moments; it seems she went home for the National Day holiday.
She had never posted pictures of her family on social media before, but this time she posted a family photo of the four of them.
It's clear at a glance that Zhang Jiayi looks like her mother, and she has a gentle and reserved personality.
Her sister has the aura of a strong woman, but she looks very reassuring, and Xia Wenxi even wants to call her sister.
Xia Wenxi gave it a thumbs up and couldn't help but think how wonderful it would be if Xia Wensheng were a girl. She couldn't imagine how happy she would be to have an older sister!
——
October 5th.
Ke Shurong and Xia Hengyuan have not yet returned home, and Lin Shen has already gone abroad on a business trip.
However, Minghuan had already returned to Fan City after her performance.
Suddenly, Xia Wensheng became the one showing off.
When Minghuan heard that Xia Wenxi was home alone, she said to her boyfriend, "Let Wenxi have dinner with us tonight. It's no fun for her to eat alone at home."
Xia Wensheng nodded in agreement on the surface, "Then ask her if she's coming or not."
In fact...
He frantically sent messages to Xia Wenxi on his phone.
【Don't agree!!!】
[Brother Suan, please!]
【transfer】
【transfer】
【transfer】
When Xia Wenxi saw Minghuan's message, she immediately understood what was going on. Xia Wensheng just didn't want her to be a third wheel.
However, she deliberately waited for a while without moving, and only when the page was full of transfer messages did she slowly click to receive the money one by one.
Then I replied to Minghuan: 【Sorry, Minghuan, my period is almost here and I'm feeling a bit unwell... You and your brother have fun!】
Upon seeing this reply, Minghuan naturally wouldn't call her out again, but she still sent a message with many instructions, telling her to keep warm and get plenty of rest.
Xia Wensheng only saw that the transfer had been received, but did not receive a reply for a long time until Minghuan said, "Wenxi has something to do and cannot come."
He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huanhuan, do you want to come to your place or mine tonight?"
Minghuan blushed at his words, "Can you finish your meal before talking about this?"
"I really miss you after not seeing you for a few days. Come to my house? Dengdeng is still at home, and it misses you too."
Minghuan agreed, but stubbornly insisted, "I'm going to see Dengdeng."
Xia Wensheng smiled and started the car. "Okay, but Dengdeng can't sleep in the bed tonight."
Xia Wenxi, having received a large sum of money from Xia Wensheng, suddenly felt the urge to spend it.
After thinking for a while, she decided to buy her boyfriend a gift.
