The phone was not answered, but a pair of hands kept pressing on the screen.

Li Zhaoqing narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman not far away with an unpredictable expression.

After Shu Yan dealt with Kang Yu, she looked up and met Li Zhaoqing's inquiring eyes.

"Whose call is it? Why didn't you answer it?"

Shu Yan calmed her pounding heart and replied calmly, "My mom."

She yawned loudly, and then said with a nasal tone, "When she's not playing mahjong, she likes to call me."

After a pause, she seemed to realize something, raised her head, and asked Li Zhaoqing with a faint smile on her face: "What's wrong, Mr. Li, do you want me to pick up the phone?"

She seemed a little embarrassed: "But if that's the case, how can I introduce Mr. Li? Mr. Li and I don't have any relationship at all now. If a man shows up at my house for no reason like this, and my mom finds out, my legs will be broken."

Shu Yan said as she took another bite of the apple. Half of her cheek was propped up by the apple in her mouth. She ate the food with a "crunch, crunch" sound like a little hamster.

However, the pair of eyes that were full of smiles kept looking at Li Zhaoqing without changing.

Shu Yan said a lot, but Li Zhaoqing said nothing. His eagle-like deep and sharp eyes were fixed on her.

Shu Yan looked calm on the surface, but she was already nervous inside.

Li Zhaoqing wouldn't not believe it, right?

She thought about it, picked up the locked phone, found the dialog box with the note to her mother in WeChat, clicked it, and raised it to Li Zhaoqing's direction: "Mr. Li, don't you believe it? Then I'll call my mother now, but you have to answer this call."

As he spoke, he was about to press the button for the video call. When he was still a little distance away, Li Zhaoqing suddenly said, "No need."

Then he laughed, with a charming and dangerous arc: "After all, your mother is going to break your legs."

Shu Yan pursed her lips, obviously dissatisfied with what he said: "You said that as if you really want to see my mother break my legs!"

When Li Zhaoqing heard this, the curve of his lips became even bigger. When the last dish was served on the table, he looked up at the woman not far away and said casually, "Yeah, I really want to see your leg broken."

Shu Yan: “…”

Forget it, for the sake of the food, I won’t bother with him.

Li Zhaoqing was indeed a good cook. In an hour and a half, he made three dishes and a soup.

One is braised spareribs, one is boiled pork slices, and there is a stir-fried vegetable. The last one is seaweed egg drop soup.

There are heavy-flavor dishes that Shuyan likes, as well as light vegetables. The vitamins and proteins are well matched and very nutritious.

Shu Yan first picked up a piece of braised pork ribs and took a bite, then gave a thumbs up and praised generously, "Boss Li is awesome!"

Then came the boiled pork slices. I put them in my mouth and immediately experienced the taste.

The boiled pork slices were comparable to those made in authentic Sichuan restaurants. Shu Yan was really impressed by Li Zhaoqing now.

He is handsome, can make money, and can cook well. He is really a good man that is essential for the family.

It's a pity that he has such a bad temper, which she doesn't like at all. Otherwise, when she thinks about maxing out his favorability in the future, she might be reluctant to let go of Li Zhaoqing.

After all...the food cooked by Mr. Li is really to her liking!

Thanks to Li Zhaoqing, Shu Yan had a good appetite for this meal. She ate a whole bowl of rice and then collapsed in the chair, unable to get up.

She ate too much and always had to slow down. Now she didn't want to move at all.

After Li Zhaoqing finished the rice in the bowl, he slowly stood up.

He kept looking at his phone during the meal, probably about work. He kept replying to messages and later answered two calls from Andrew.

Shu Yan didn't know what Andrew said, but she could understand Li Zhaoqing's reply.

Although there are many professional terms in between, it is not difficult to piece together based on the previous and subsequent meanings and some speculation.

"Please take care of the remaining food. I have something else to do and need to leave first."

After Li Zhaoqing finished speaking, he took the napkin beside him to wipe his mouth and whispered something to Shu Yan.

"Ah? Just left?"

Shu Yan looked a little disappointed, but didn't say anything. She just nodded and said, "Be careful on the road, Mr. Li."

Li Zhaoqing looked at her slumped in the chair like a sloth, and chuckled, "Why, you're not reluctant to let me go, are you?"

Shu Yan smiled sweetly: "Yes! If Mr. Li stays, I won't have to wash the dishes myself!"

Li Zhaoqing: "..."

He said coldly: "Shu Yan, I have never seen a woman lazier than you!"

After a pause, he continued, "I have something urgent to do. If you don't want to wash the dishes, I'll ask Qian Jin to call an aunt to clean it for you."

Is there such a good thing?

Shu Yan's eyes widened instantly. After all, she had just said that casually. She was used to bickering with Li Zhaoqing and always had the habit of retorting to him. Now that she saw that he was so easy to talk to, Shu Yan was actually a little uncomfortable.

The big devil suddenly became gentle, and she still needed some time to adapt.

But he agreed quickly: "Thank you, President Li! Thank you for your hard work, President Li! Goodbye, President Li!"

Li Zhaoqing: “Tsk!”

Seeing that Li Zhaoqing had already opened the door, Shu Yan suddenly remembered something and shouted at the door: "Li Zhaoqing! Don't forget what you promised me! Remember to make money for me!"

Although the money here cannot be brought to the real world, it can be spent in this world.

She will be staying here for quite some time, so she has to put the money into her own pocket.

Li Zhaoqing did not respond to her, and the door slammed shut.

Shu Yan pursed her lips behind him and cursed in a low voice: "Stingy guy!"

However, in the evening, Shu Yan received a transfer reminder.

Li Zhaoqing not only transferred money to her, but also generously transferred one million.

Looking at the zeros at the end, Shu Yan counted carefully and found that it was really one million, not one hundred thousand.

Forget it, since this is the first time he transferred money to me, I'll just say thank you.

So Shu Yan opened Li Zhaoqing's WeChat chat box and typed, "Thank you, Mr. Li, for the reward!"

There is also an emoticon pack saying "Thank you, boss" below.

After discovering the news, Shu Yan prepared for her date with her brother tomorrow. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the system's voice suddenly sounded in her mind:

System: [Congratulations to the host for gaining Li Zhaoqing's favorability +1, and the one million bonus has been received! ]

Shu Yan: “???”

WTF?

She was protecting her skin when she was stunned when she heard the system report Li Zhaoqing's favorability value.

"What's going on, Tongjie? Why did Li Zhaoqing's favorability increase again?"

In less than a day, Li Zhaoqing's favorability value increased by more than ten points, and Shu Yan suddenly felt something was not real.

System: [I don’t know, host. Maybe it’s because you said thank you that Li Zhaoqing is in a good mood, and his favorability value has increased! ]

Shu Yan: “…”

Is it too late for her to send Li Zhaoqing a hundred thank you messages now?
