"No need, Mr. Wen, you should enjoy it yourself!"
Li Ruo refused decisively, and thought Wen Huaiyan would make things worse.
Unexpectedly, this time the man did not force her. Instead, he slowly lowered his head and picked up a piece of food from the table.
However, after taking only one bite, his brows furrowed instantly.
"How much salt did you put in?"
His brows furrowed, but he didn't spit it out. Instead, he closed his eyes slightly and swallowed it.
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo subconsciously felt that he was picking a fight, and pursed her lips, saying, "This is sweet and sour pork ribs, it has sugar in it, no salt."
As she spoke, a clear hint of dissatisfaction appeared on her face.
From the moment she walked in, this man had been making things difficult for her, even though it was all his fault!
Noticing Li Ruo's gaze, Wen Huaiyan couldn't help but feel a little helpless, and subconsciously tugged at the corners of his mouth with a bitter smile.
Does she really think of herself as someone who twists the truth to deliberately punish her?
"If you didn't add salt, how come this dish is so salty? You didn't add the wrong amount, did you?"
He sighed silently, and despite the girl's disapproving gaze, he still spoke in a low voice.
"salty?"
But Li Ruo scoffed at this, wanting to take the opportunity to get revenge by adding a few more spoonfuls of salt.
But when she thought about how she would suffer after messing with this man, she gave up on the idea.
"Mr. Wen, my cooking skills are not great, but I can still distinguish between salt and sugar. If you want to find fault, just say so. Don't make up such a lame excuse."
As she spoke, her anger intensified, and she immediately turned her head away in a huff.
After all, she spent the whole morning preparing such a large meal; she deserves credit for her hard work, even if she didn't achieve great things.
Unexpectedly, she had such a bad temper. Wen Huaiyan frowned and was about to speak, but then, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly sighed heavily.
Then, a hint of helplessness crept into his usually indifferent voice: "Perhaps I've made a mistake..."
Hearing this, Li Ruo felt even more aggrieved. She turned around abruptly, giving him a look that said, "No, you can't even tell the difference between sweet and salty? What does this dish even taste like?"
What she really wanted to ask was whether the dish was good or not, or whether Wen Huaiyan was satisfied with it.
After all, she would only have a chance to leave if she could please this man.
However, Wen Huaiyan remained silent, leaving her with only a cryptic expression.
Seeing this, Li Ruo frowned suspiciously, and simply picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks: "Since you can't taste it, then I'll taste it for you... Pfft!"
Before she could finish speaking, the dish she tasted instantly had a strong bitter taste.
Damn it, I really put it in the wrong place!
Realizing this, her little face immediately scrunched up.
Seeing her disheveled appearance, Wen Huaiyan couldn't help but smile.
Seeing through his mockery at a glance, Li Ruo became even angrier: "This dish is so salty, and you wanted to try it, why didn't you stop me?"
She only took a small bite, and it was so salty it almost killed her.
As she spoke, she couldn't help but recall how Wen Huaiyan had eaten without batting an eye, and she was slightly surprised.
This man is incredibly patient!
To enhance the flavor, she deliberately added several large spoonfuls of sugar.
Upon hearing this, Wen Huaiyan merely raised an eyebrow, his face completely nonchalant: "Didn't I just say that this dish is very salty? You were the one who didn't believe me. I was just afraid that saying your cooking was bad would hurt your feelings."
As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, and the smile on his lips grew even wider.
"you!"
Li Ruo had never realized that this man had such a perverse sense of humor. Her eyes widened, and she wanted to say something, but when her gaze fell on the food on the table, she couldn't help but swallow hard.
After all, she was definitely in the wrong in this matter!
But when she thought about how she had worked so hard to cook so many dishes and was still being ridiculed, Li Ruo pursed her lips and couldn't help but feel a little wronged.
If Wen Huaiyan insists on keeping her locked up here, there's no need for her to rush to please him today.
"If you don't like my cooking, Mr. Wen, you can just say so directly. There's no need to beat around the bush. I'll just stop cooking it in the future."
She left behind a sentence and immediately turned away angrily.
Before she could even take two steps, Wen Huaiyan grabbed her wrist: "Alright, stop fooling around."
The relationship between the two had finally eased up a bit, and he didn't want it to deteriorate again.
But Li Ruo was in a fit of anger, especially when she thought about her shameful behavior, she felt both ashamed and angry.
The moment she was enveloped by that large hand, she shook it off without thinking: "I won't fall for your tricks!"
Without even glancing at Wen Huaiyan, she turned to go upstairs.
Unexpectedly, in her haste, her toe accidentally hit the chair leg, causing her to lose her balance and fall to the ground.
"ah!"
Seeing that she was about to fall to the ground, Li Ruo couldn't help but scream in alarm.
However, the next second, her waist was tightly embraced by a large hand.
With a sudden, powerful force, she was immediately thrown into a warm embrace.
