Instead of driving straight home, the two went to a nearby supermarket to buy groceries.

Tonight, Chu Lan will personally cook for Xu Tian.

Although that's what they said, it was actually a last-minute decision.

Before Xu Tian entered, she was worrying about the beauty and medical group in South Korea.

South Korea's national consciousness is different from that of China, and even different from that of countries like the United States.

Although they also have a president, and outwardly claim to be a presidential system, in reality, their unspoken rules and their dark side are known to many.

South Korea is a country ruled by conglomerates.

In China, while top-tier wealthy families may indeed wield immense power, the government still undoubtedly controls the country.

Korea is not.

In South Korea, the election of a president even requires the approval of chaebols (wealthy conglomerates).

Only if your political direction satisfies the tycoons, aligns with their interests, and fulfills all their needs, are you qualified to be president.

Even a sitting president, if he touches the interests of a tycoon, could disappear from this world silently and without warning.

This is what makes the South Korean conglomerates so terrifying.

They control more than 75% of the actual economic income and expenditure of South Korea. From elementary school onwards, the pencils children use, the schoolbags they carry, the books they read, and even the houses they buy, the cars they drive, the televisions they watch, and even the kimchi they eat, are all produced by conglomerates.

They are the true controllers of this country.

It is astonishing that such a country, once home to one of the world's leading conglomerates, is now heading straight for their former benefactor, the Xu Group.

Chu Lan, who is highly sensitive to business conspiracies, even wondered if there was some kind of conspiracy or purpose behind their so-called bankruptcy, but all of this was just her speculation at the moment.

Even at the peak of this conglomerate, the Xu Group was not afraid of them, but as the saying goes, it's not the thief you should fear, but the one who has his eye on you.

How could Chu Lan feel at ease when a once-glorious but still powerful conglomerate was eyeing her boyfriend's business?

However, he didn't want to tell Xu Tian about all these worries.

At the very least, she didn't want to speak until she had investigated thoroughly and felt she absolutely had to tell Xu Tian.

She didn't want Xu Tian to worry.

In her eyes, this man was a treasure in her hands, but also a pitiful little wretch.

Having experienced such a major setback in her relationship, and finally made it this far, and now having her own life, Chu Lan believes that she should avoid causing Xu Tian any worry.

That's why she offered to cook for Xu Tian herself when he came in.

Of course, she hadn't prepared anything; she just found something that she thought would make Xu Tian happy and attract his attention, thus diverting attention from the reason for the frown on her face.

The two parked their car in the supermarket's underground parking lot and then went into the elevator.

In the elevator, Xu Tian unconsciously took Chu Lan's hand.

Chu Lan smiled sweetly and intertwined her fingers with Xu Tian's.

Perhaps due to past failed relationships, Xu Tian, ​​though decisive and efficient in his career, often acts like a child when it comes to relationships.

Especially this habit of holding hands, I don't know when it started.

But it doesn't matter, I like it.

The two of them held hands and pushed a small cart into the supermarket.

Xu Tian seemed very curious, browsing around the grocery area, looking quite excited.

That's understandable. The two of them have only shopped at malls together before, but this is their first time in a supermarket.

Looking back now, the image of the two of them holding hands, pushing a small cart, and looking at all kinds of vegetables evokes the daily routine of a newlywed couple buying groceries after get off work.

Thinking of this, Chu Lan blushed slightly.

Let's forget about South Korea for now and enjoy being a loving couple with Xu Tian for a day.

"Let's eat this, I want to eat this, stewed black-boned chicken! And add some goji berries!"

Xu Tian's sudden loud voice disrupted Chu Lan's thoughts.

Chu Lan took the black-boned chicken, which was sealed in transparent plastic film, from Xu Tian's hand and examined it.

"You want to eat this? Sure, you can."

He then put the black-boned chicken into the shopping cart. "Why did I suddenly want to eat black-boned chicken?"

Xu Tian suddenly smiled mysteriously: "It's not just black-boned chicken, it also contains goji berries~"

Seeing Xu Tian's strange smile, Chu Lan was slightly taken aback.

Although he didn't understand why, Chu Lan knew that nothing good was going to happen whenever Xu Tian showed that expression.

"Tell me what happened, or I'll make you sleep on the sofa tonight."

Xu Tian chuckled, "That won't do. If I sleep on the sofa, then I've lost the point of having goji berry and black chicken soup!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Lan immediately understood, and her face flushed red.

Although he was already thirty years old, this was Chu Lan's first time in love, and he was still in a dazed and shy stage.

Especially with so many people in the supermarket and Xu Tian's voice being so loud, Chu Lan felt embarrassed when she saw many elderly people in the supermarket looking at her with expressions that said, "This young couple is really something else." She playfully pinched Xu Tian's arm.

I hate you so much!

"I knew you were happy just shopping at the supermarket. Turns out you were thinking about that kind of thing. You... can't you think about anything else?"

Xu Tian rubbed his arm and said in a cheeky tone, "Thinking about this means I'm an excellent man who is morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and practically developed, with both my body and mind in good health."

Chu Lan blushed and spat softly, but let Xu Tian drag the shopping cart to buy goji berries and other items.

Finally, they bought some steak and cheese that Chu Lan had eaten, as well as some wine. The two of them bought three large bags of things before driving home fully loaded.

After arriving home, the two of them busied themselves in the kitchen. This place had become Master Xu's exclusive stall for frying dough sticks early in the morning. Although it was their own home, Chu Lan actually felt a sense of novelty when she tried it out.

Moreover... Chu Lan is relatively unfamiliar with cooking.

After all, she is a dignified, aloof female CEO. At such a young age, she has been working for the top-tier Xu family. When she is busy with work, where would she find the time to cook? She is either entertaining clients at dinner parties, or buying her favorite foods when she has free time, or eating at the company cafeteria.

Moreover, Chu Lan was an orphan when he was young, without the care of his parents or anyone to teach him.

Stir-fry?

The last time she cooked was probably five years ago.

She had drunk too much when she got home and vomited. Her stomach felt really uncomfortable, and she felt it was too late to order takeout, so she cooked herself some instant noodles.

The taste is alright; it definitely tastes like instant noodles.

Thinking about it that way, cooking shouldn't be too difficult, right?

Isn't it just like instant noodles? You boil water, put in the ingredients and seasonings, and it's cooked... right?
