After working hard for a long time, Ye Zhihan finally breathed a sigh of relief, stretched his body, took the phone that he had neglected for a long time, and slowly sat down in front of the coffee table. Seeing that Ji Hanzhou had sent him a message at noon asking what he had for lunch, Ye Zhihan thought for a moment, opened the lunch that Xu Qin packed for him, took a photo and sent it to Ji Hanzhou, with the caption: Getting ready to eat.

On the other side, Ji Hanzhou, who was in a meeting, almost subconsciously reached out and picked up the phone when he heard the notification ring of his cell phone.

This action made the person in charge who was presenting the plan freeze in place, and he didn't know whether to continue or not.

Ji Hanzhou stared at the phone screen, and pursed his lips to slowly utter two words: "Continue."

When I clicked on the picture sent by Ye Zhihan, it was obviously fast food taken from outside, and it was already past mealtime.

Ji Hanzhou's face instantly turned cold, his brows knitted tightly, and he typed quickly on the screen: "Have you gone out? Why are you eating now?"

Ye Zhihan: "I came to the gallery this morning and just finished my work."

Ji Hanzhou originally wanted to say that it was not necessary to work so hard, but he remembered that he had promised not to interfere with her work, so he sent a message: "No matter how busy you are, you must take care of your health. Next time, Aunt Liu can cook and ask the driver to deliver the meal."

The person in charge below looked at his boss's increasingly furrowed brows and darker face, and gritted his teeth and finished presenting his team's plan.

A few seconds passed and Ji Hanzhou did not express his opinion. The person in charge thought to himself: It's over, it's over. Who is so unlucky in choosing the right time to make the boss angry? I hope the boss will go easy on him later.

When Ji Hanzhou received the message from Ye Zhihan, "You should also pay attention to rest. I'll wait for you to come back in the evening to have dinner together", his dark face turned from gloomy to bright, and his brows relaxed instantly.

He put away his phone, looked up at the person in charge who was waiting for instructions and said, "Good, next one."

The person in charge, who was ready to be scolded, looked at Ji Hanzhou in shock. Although there was no smile on his face, he could feel that his boss was in a good mood. After all, he knew how rare it was for his boss to say "good".

Others in the meeting room were also confused about who the person on the other end of the boss's phone was. The boss never brought his phone to meetings, and they had never seen anything or anyone that could affect the boss's mood.

Ye Zhihan finished work in the afternoon and went home early. As soon as she entered the door, Aunt Liu came over and asked, "Madam, you're back. What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it."

Thinking that all the dishes on the dinner table were his favorites, he knew without a doubt that it was Ji Hanzhou's order.

As a wife, she seemed to care less about Ji Hanzhou. Thinking of this, she asked Liu Ma: "Liu Ma, do you know what Ji Hanzhou likes to eat?"

Aunt Liu rolled her eyes, thought again and again, and said distressedly: "The young master is not picky about food, but he doesn't have a favorite food. He usually eats light food."

"It's more light. Let me think about it." Ye Zhihan supported his chin with one hand, thinking seriously.

After a moment, Ye Zhihan made a decision: "How about making a dish of baked lobster in soup, steamed pork in lotus leaf, squirrel mandarin fish, and stir-fried seasonal vegetables?"

Aunt Liu said cheerfully, "That's great. If the gentleman knew that you care about him so much, he would be very happy."

Ye Zhihan thought that he had nothing to do, so he volunteered to help with the cooking.

Aunt Liu is very good at chatting and made Ye Zhihan laugh constantly.

"If the husband knew that these dishes were made by you, he would be happy to eat them all."

"Aunt Liu, you are exaggerating. Besides, I am just helping you. How can I cook?"

Soon, the kitchen was filled with the aroma of rice and vegetables. "Ding ding ding" the alarm clock rang, indicating that the lotus leaf steamed pork was ready.

Ye Zhihan couldn't wait to see the result, so she walked quickly to the stove and opened the lid of the pot. In an instant, a cloud of white steam rushed towards her, carrying a scalding temperature.

She subconsciously dodged backwards, and before Aunt Liu could say anything to stop her, the scalding hot pot lid pressed tightly against Ye Zhihan's exposed arm.

"Ah!" Ye Zhihan's scream, along with the sound of the pot lid falling to the ground, echoed throughout the kitchen.

Aunt Liu didn't even have time to put down the spatula in her hand and ran over quickly: "Madam, are you okay? Are you burned?"

As he said that, he pulled Ye Zhihan to the sink to rinse off, and kept blaming himself: "It's all my fault. I should have thought of it earlier. It's all burned red. I'll go find some medicine for the burns."

A burning pain came from his arm, and Ye Zhihan couldn't help but gasp.

Seeing Aunt Liu blaming herself for applying medicine, Ye Zhihan comforted her, "Aunt Liu, it's not your fault. I was careless and ended up doing more harm than good for you. Go and do your work. I'll ask when Ji Hanzhou will be back next time."

About half an hour later, Ye Zhihan received Ji Hanzhou's message: "I'm sorry, there was a problem with the overseas project. I can't have dinner with you."

The moment Ye Zhihan saw the message, he felt something strange in his heart, probably because he felt disappointed, but he still asked with concern, "Is it serious?"

Ji Hanzhou: "Don't worry, just eat well."

Ye Zhihan did not ask any more questions, and walked into the kitchen and said to Aunt Liu: "Aunt Liu, Ji Hanzhou will not be back for dinner tonight, let's start the meal first."

Aunt Liu said with regret, "That's such a pity. Madam, you have been busy for so long."

Ye Zhihan: "It's okay, just serve some and heat it up when Ji Hanzhou comes back."

After a quick dinner, Ye Zhihan didn't feel sleepy, so he simply sat in the living room waiting for Ji Hanzhou.

At 9: in the evening, the roar of a car approached and then stopped. Ji Hanzhou pushed the door open and saw Ye Zhihan sitting on the sofa waiting for him.

He took off his coat and asked, "Have you had dinner? Why haven't you taken a shower today?"

Ye Zhihan sat up: "I've eaten, how about you? Have you dealt with your company's affairs?"

Ji Hanzhou: "I've eaten at the company, and I haven't finished my work yet. I have to work overtime. You go to sleep first."

After thinking for a while, Ye Zhihan asked, "Auntie Liu left some food for you. Would you like to eat some? Just a bite of each."

Ji Hanzhou looked at Ye Zhihan's expectant eyes and couldn't bear to say the words of refusal: "Okay then, let's ask Aunt Liu to send it to the study later." After that, he went upstairs.

After Liu Ma heated up the dishes, she was afraid that Ye Zhihan might get scalded by accident again, so she reminded him several times.

Ye Zhihan said helplessly: "I will be careful, Aunt Liu, it's late, you should go to bed early."

In the study, Ji Hanzhou was sitting at his desk and talking on the phone. Seeing Ye Zhihan coming in, he motioned for her to put the food on the small table. Ye Zhihan said softly, "Remember to eat."

Seeing Ji Hanzhou nodded, Ye Zhihan did not stop and returned to the master bedroom.

It was past one in the morning, and Ji Hanzhou hadn't finished his work yet. Similarly, Ye Zhihan, who rarely stayed up late, didn't fall asleep either.

She wanted to go to the study to see if Ji Hanzhou had finished his work, but she held back when she thought of his anxious look just now, and thought to herself: "It's better not to disturb him."
