The beige light suddenly dimmed and the living room returned to silence.

In the darkness, the man opened his clear eyes...

In the kitchen, a pot of porridge stewing on the stove made a bubbling sound, and if you got closer you could smell the delicious aroma.

What disillusioned Chen Jia the most was not the fragrant porridge, but the president standing in front of the stove wearing an apron, a white shirt and black pants, looking very homely.

Liu Zhu, who delivered clothes to the president early in the morning, has hidden his merits and fame. This month's bonus is already beckoning to him!

Xue Shen stirred the sticky preserved egg and lean meat porridge, sprinkled it with chopped green onions, and said without turning his head: "Jia Jia, bring two bowls."

"Oh!" Chen Jia reacted as fast as her brain, and she was placing the two bowls in her hand next to him, "Bring the bowls."

Chen Jia was secretly annoyed in her heart: This is her home, and he actually took the dominant position!

"Thank you for your help." Xue Shen took the bowl and filled it with porridge. His movements were smooth and natural, with no signs of him learning on the spot.

"No trouble. Your porridge is delicious." The other person behaved politely and she was embarrassed to give him a cold response.

What's more, he could get up early in the morning to cook porridge, but she, as the host, didn't even have the awareness of entertaining guests.

"Go change your clothes quickly. I'll clean up and we'll be ready for breakfast soon." Xue Shen glanced at her gauze nightgown and turned away uncomfortably.

Chen Jia lowered his head and said, "Ah? Oh——" and ran away immediately. Soon, the sound of a door closing was heard.

Chen Jia changed her clothes in the room, prepared herself mentally, and slowly walked out of the room.

Xue Shen calculated the timing just right. By the time she entered the restaurant and sat down, Xue Shen had also cleaned up the kitchen and placed a stack of washed fruit in front of her.

Well, they are all the ones she usually eats.

For a detail-obsessed person, it’s really hard not to be moved!

Chen Jia's eyebrows moved slightly, and she chose to lower her head to drink her porridge.

She knew that Xue Shen was good at cooking Western food, but she didn't expect that he could also cook excellent Chinese food.

Xue Shen suddenly asked: "What are you thinking about?"

She answered subconsciously: "I was thinking that the porridge you cooked was delicious!"

Finished!

She held her breath and lowered her head.

A chuckle came from the other side, "You can be bolder."

The suggestive words made Chen Jia's scalp numb. She moved her lips, wanting to say something to cover up the explosive atmosphere.

Xue Shen seemed to have expected this and said, "Don't say those perfunctory words. I don't want to hear them."

Chen Jia paused with a smile, sighing and a complexity that she herself did not understand, "Brother, you are a child of destiny in everyone's eyes, and you are a very good brother to me. This kind of relationship makes me very satisfied and grateful. I dare not speculate or fantasize about more...things that do not belong to me."

That price may be something I cannot afford.

Xue Shen asked seriously: "What is something that does not belong to you?"

Chen Jia looked up at him, "There are many, including you——"

Xue Shen's eyes softened, and he admitted that he was pleased. Did this mean that she also had some secret feelings towards him?

"They will be yours if you want them."

"What about brother?"

He nodded reservedly, "That's true."

The haze that had been lingering in her heart for days was easily brushed away. Chen Jia covered her face in frustration. She was such a loser!

After a long while, he woke up from his intoxicated joy, and heard a hesitant voice between his fingers, "They won't agree, and it will damage your reputation..."

She is a person who thinks ten steps ahead before taking one step. The two of them have just initially confirmed their feelings, but she has already thought of the difficulties and obstacles that will come in the future. It's just like the 81 difficulties on the journey to the West!

"I will deal with them. As for reputation, I never care about it."

Chen Jia probably didn't know that Xue Shen's reputation in the industry, although not infamous, was also terrible.

He really has no reputation!

As for Xue's father and mother, they are a pair of paper tigers. They are quite intimidating in front of outsiders, but in front of their eldest son who has been calm and self-controlled since childhood, they do not have the slightest dignity as parents.

Who says it’s not a kind of heartache?

Chen Jia thought about it and found that it was true. She had been making things difficult for herself for so long.

He shook his head and laughed, "I told you, you can be bolder. Many things are not as difficult as you think. Besides, with me here, what is there to be afraid of?"

Chen Jia was depressed. Aren’t you the biggest difficulty in my life?

Someone really feels good about himself!

The car slowly stopped in front of Mr. Ye's door. Xue Shen leaned over. Chen Jia subconsciously held her breath and tightened her seat belt with both hands.

With a "click", the seat belt was unfastened.

Chen Jia's face turned red.

Is there anything more embarrassing than a misunderstanding?

She can even build a five-story villa!

Xue Shen restrained his smile, his eyes bright, and placed a kiss on the other person's smooth forehead, so light that it was almost instantaneous, his voice a little hoarse, "Call me after practice, and I'll pick you up."

"Got it!" Chen Jia pushed her away, got out of the car, and fled.

******

"Brother Shen, we're having a party tonight, do you want to come?" Zhou Junchen's carefree voice came from the other end of the phone, "My brother and the others are all here, come quickly!"

The noisy voice was suddenly forced to shut up. Zhou Junnian took the phone and apologized, "Don't mind. This child has a clear temperament and I spoiled him!"

Changing the subject, "What have you been busy with lately, Mr. Xue? We have arranged several meetings, but you have never appeared."

Xue Shen's previous image as a workaholic was deeply rooted in people's minds. As long as you wanted to find him, you could always find him in the company.

But recently, four out of five attempts have come up empty-handed.

The workaholic has actually changed his previous style of treating the company as his home, and now leaves work on time every day, or even skips work early and is absent from work openly.

Zhou Junnian and others said that they were really curious!

What exactly is Xue Shen doing?

What other secrets are there?

Liu Zhu is loyal and is Xue Shen's right-hand man. He also keeps a close watch on them, so Zhou Junnian has no chance of getting any information from Liu Zhu.

Zhou Junnian was depressed: What kind of drug did this big devil Xue Shen give his employees? These people can't even pry open their mouths!

Xue Shen chuckled, "Of course there are more important things than meeting you."

Zhou Junnian's scalp tingled. He explained the matter in a few words and hung up the phone immediately. "Boss Du wants to see you. He asked me to arrange a meeting for you. See you tonight at 8 o'clock in Huaihai."

Chen Jia opened the car door and sat down. Just then she heard the last sentence "See you later". She looked over with a suspicious look. Xue Shen sat upright and said, "Zhou Junnian, you have met him. I don't plan to keep the appointment."

There is really nothing to doubt.

Before falling in love, Xue Shen was a true workaholic; after falling in love, he would pick her up on time every day, study the menu of her favorite food, and give her enough emotional value.

The two had originally planned to go to the supermarket to stock up on snacks for the house, but Zhou Junnian and Lin Lixin kept bombarding them with calls, so Chen Jia couldn't help it. "How about going there?"

"Yeah." His face was grim, but in his heart he sentenced several people to death.

It would be best if there is something real going on!
