    Sitting in the living room, Zhou Shaoting listened to the sounds in the kitchen. First, there was the sound of the faucet, then the sound of the chopping board, and then the sound of the stove being ignited and the sound of food sliding into the frying pan.

    These were the noises made by the little woman¡ªshe was cooking for him.  The sound of fireworks in this world is so beautiful!

    The range hood whined, and the dim light cast the woman's busy silhouette on the frosted glass sliding door, which was so warm and hot.

    Zhou Shaoting's eyes gradually warmed up.

    Just like this, like this, that's fine.

    Xiaoshi's culinary skills have always been neglected to practice, so she was a little flustered.  The heat of the pot is not well controlled, and the amount of seasoning is not well controlled. Either there is too little salt or too much vinegar. You can only measure it with your mouth repeatedly, but the taste is still not right.

    After working for a long time, she was sweating, but the final product was simply too difficult to show.

    Every dish looks a bit dark, and the color, aroma and flavor are all lacklustre.  Moreover, there is no meaty smell.

    Xiao Shi felt a little sorry.  I remember that the first time Zhou Shaoting came to her house for dinner, it was Chef Han Dong who was in charge, but this time it was her, but it was like this.

    However, Zhou Shaoting didn't dislike it. He took the rice that Xiaoshi had served, and started to eat with chopsticks without even looking at the dishes.

    Xiaoshi poked at the rice in her bowl and looked at him anxiously.

    Zhou Shaoting took a few mouthfuls and then stopped suddenly.

    Xiaoshi's heart tightened, thinking that she was about to be rejected, but she heard the man ask with great interest: "Is there any wine? It's really not easy to eat a meal you cooked. Good wine and delicious food make this trip worthwhile."

    Xiaoshi really didn't dare to associate the word "food" with the few plates of burnt things on the table.  She shamefully dug out a bottle of red wine from the corner cabinet - the only stock in the house was brought by Han Dong when her father came last time.

    Zhou Shaoting seemed to be enjoying himself while drinking red wine and side dishes, and every dish was not neglected.

    Xiao Shi looked at it and decided in her heart: This man must be starving, only hungry people can eat anything delicious.

    Zhou Shaoting ate quite a lot this meal, he always eats moderately, but today, he obviously broke his fast, and after drinking and eating, he even drank up the leftover mustard egg drop soup.

    He licked the corners of his lips with a napkin, his cool face flushed slightly under the influence of alcohol, and there was a layer of joy for unknown reasons in his eyes.

    In Xiaoshi's view, this is a typical slightly drunk expression.

    She packed the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen, and came out to send the guests away, but Zhou Shaoting still stood there blankly, showing no intention of saying goodbye.

    Seeing Xiaoshi coming out, he said in an unquestionable tone: "Go and clean up, and stay with me for a few days."

    Xiao Shi was dazed, and stood at the door of the kitchen in a daze.

    "Old Han's daughter is here. If you stay with her for two days, it will be considered overtime."

    He didn't tell her the real reason.

    Just now at the company, he has asked Zhong Kai to investigate clearly that Su Lin is Hong Feng's woman.  Hong Feng's background is very dirty, and Su Lin has already set his sights on Xiaoshi, he is afraid that she will be in danger.

    But he didn't want to scare her with these uncertain situations, and he didn't want to destroy her simple and safe cognition of this world.

    But obviously, the reason he gave was too unconvincing. As soon as Xiaoshi realized it, she flatly refused: "How can this work! How can I live in your house? No, no, no, work is work, and life is life."

    After she finished speaking in one breath, her heart was still jumping with fear and her scalp was numb.

    Zhou Shaoting's face tensed, and just as he was about to order her, the landline phone in the living room rang.

    Xiao Shi picked up the phone while drying her hands, "Hello?" She only said once, and Zhou Shaoting could see that her expression had obviously froze.

    "Well, it's okayso fast?OhI'm washing the dishes, is it okay if I'm free?Well, good."

    She hung up the phone, still sitting on the sofa in a daze, motionless.

    Zhou Shaoting came over and looked down at her, "Kang Ning?"

    Xiao Shi was startled, how could nothing be hidden from this man's eyes!

    She nodded, "Yes."

    "Is he coming back?"

    Xiao Shi was shocked again, looked at the man in front of him in disbelief, and said calmly, "Well, it means that the training ended early."

    "It seems that I have to hurry up."

    "Um?!"

    Xiaoshi's eyes widened, she felt that Zhou Shaoting today?.

    She seemed to have regained her sanity suddenly, her eyes widened, she resisted, she was afraid, she blamed herself With all her strength, she pushed away the man who was pressing on her, and sat up from the sofa.

    She got up too violently, with too much force, and even the sofa "squeaked" and fell half a meter.

    This push also made the man calm down.  Or, he had actually been sober all along.  That's why he wasn't surprised at all. He still breathed smoothly and looked at the embarrassed woman in front of him calmly.

    "You drank too much!" Xu Shi was too nervous, but Xiao Shi felt weak and couldn't even stand up, so he could only support the back of the sofa with his hands, calming his disordered breathing.

    Zhou Shaoting straightened the folded front of the suit with his hands, but said nothing.

    Xiaoshi kept her head down, not looking at him, and finally, trying to suppress her trembling voice, she said: "It's getting late, I want to rest, please leave."

    Zhou Shaoting understands that the situation has taken a turn for the worse, and now he has no way to force her to follow any instructions.

    Therefore, he could only leave alone. Before leaving, he still explained: "Lock the door at night, don't go out, call me on the landline if you have anything to do. Jin Xin will come to pick you up tomorrow morning."

    The girl hung her head like a lost puppet.

    "Did you hear that?"

    She still didn't respond.

    Zhou Shaoting gritted his teeth, turned and closed the door and left.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
