I controlled the entire Zerg race with my superb culinary skills.

After the meal, Shen Nanxi insisted on paying the bill, and Chu Yang couldn't refuse him, so he went along with it.

"Boss, check out."

"Okay, here is your bill."

Shen Nanxi paid the bill with a wave of her hand, and didn't forget to emphasize it to the boss.

"Hehe, this is my secret stash of money, given to me by my brother."

Chu Yang smiled indulgently; this was the first time he'd ever seen someone flaunt their secret stash of money in front of others. After paying the bill, he took Shen Nanxi's hand and they left.

On the way back, the night was bright. When passing through a dimly lit alley, there were two groups of thugs fighting. Chu Yang didn't want to get involved in the trouble, so he deliberately took a detour.

In the alley, Pan Cheng, along with his gang of henchmen, held baseball bats and spat disdainfully at the other side, determined to settle things tonight and drive them out of his territory.

When passing by the supermarket, Chu Yang went in to buy some ingredients. Today, the vegetable section had new lotus root and even water bamboo shoots, and the prices were much cheaper than other vegetables.

"Brother, these lotus roots and water bamboo shoots aren't very tasty. Aren't you going to waste buying so many?"

"Wasteful? You don't trust my cooking skills anymore?"

"Hehe, I believe you, everything you make tastes good."

Ruffled Shen Nanxi's hair, and then bought some sweet potatoes. When he passed by the fruit section, he also bought an apple and an orange. These were all seasonal autumn fruits. Although they were expensive, Chu Yang had the privilege of being a male insect and could get a discount.

"Tomorrow night, I'll make you a candied sweet potato that will make the neighbor's kid drool...

If you speak too fast, you're prone to slipping up. Luckily, Shen Nanxi usually looks a bit silly and doesn't react that quickly.

Zhang Yu saw a photo posted by the restaurant owner on the StarNet. In the photo, Chu Yang was sitting opposite Shen Nanxi. The steak in front of him was not only cut up, but the portion was obviously much larger. Looking at Chu Yang's steak, there were only two or three pieces. It was obvious that he had shared his food with Shen Nanxi.

He stared menacingly at Chu Yang's smiling face, then raised his glass of red wine and took a sip.

"Soon you will belong to me."

Chu Yang, who was taking a shower, couldn't help but sneeze again. It seemed that the weather had really gotten cold, and he sped up his shower.

After coming out, he saw Shen Nanxi sitting on the bed. He was kneeling on the quilt, wearing that slightly see-through long shirt, and smiling at Chu Yang.

"Brother, it's cold, let me warm your bed for you."

Chu Yang just smiled and walked over, not exposing his little scheme. Who would sit outside the blankets while warming the bed?

With the lights off, the silvery moonlight from outside spilled into the room through the gaps in the curtains. The serene moonlight, like a thin and soft veil, covered the flowers and plants in the yard.

After a long while, Chu Yang jokingly tapped Shen Nanxi's forehead.

"Let's see if you dare to come and warm my bed again."

She stroked his hair with a doting tone.

"You dare! You'll dare again next time!"

With her head tilted back in a defiant retaliatory manner, her haughty little expression made Chu Yang laugh.

"Go to sleep early, you have to get up early for work tomorrow. By the way, what do you want to eat tomorrow? I'll make it for you."

Shen Nanxi's eyes darted around in their sockets before she named the dishes she wanted to eat.

"Okay, I'll pick a few dishes to cook for you. Now go to sleep."

Chu Yang woke up before dawn. His regular sleep schedule had become a habit, and he could wake up around the same time even without an alarm clock.

He glanced at Shen Nanxi, who was nestled in his arms, and couldn't help but kiss his fair face.

She deftly pulled her arm out from under the pillow, tucked the blanket around him, and went downstairs to exercise.

Having a healthy body is essential to earning more money and fulfilling the responsibilities of being the head of the family, so daily exercise has become a must for Chu Yang.

After exercising, afraid of waking Shen Nanxi who was still asleep, she went to his room to take a shower.

Upon arriving in the kitchen, Chu Yang took out the water bamboo shoots he had bought, washed them thoroughly, and then shredded them. At first glance, they looked quite like shredded white radish.

The beef was also cut into strips. An egg was beaten, some starch was added, and the mixture was tossed and mixed until the beef strips fully absorbed the starch. Then, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, pepper, and salt were added and the mixture was marinated for a while.

Scoop a spoonful of flour, add water and stir. Then cover and let it ferment for a while. After the dough has expanded, take it out and cut it into small pieces. Roll each piece into a thin, even sheet, brush with oil, cover and let it rest.

After completing the preparations, turn on the heat and start cooking. Heat the pan with cold oil, pour the marinated beef strips into the pan and stir-fry briefly. Then remove them and set aside.

There's still some oil in the pan, so pour in the water bamboo shoots and stir-fry until they're about 70-80% cooked. Then add the shredded beef and season to taste.

Fearing he couldn't handle the spice, I didn't add any more chili peppers. Then I turned up the heat and stir-fried it over high heat until the water bamboo shoots and beef were cooked through.

The rice in the rice cooker had just been steamed. After opening the lid, a fragrant aroma of steaming rice wafted out. It must be said that the rice from the Zerg is especially fragrant, with each grain glistening and translucent.

I took out his lunchbox, packed his lunch and vegetables, and also made a soup with egg and chopped greens, which I packed in as well.

After packing everything up, Chu Yang started making breakfast. He took out the dough that had been resting, cut it into noodles of even size, and then gently pulled, folded, and pulled again. After several repetitions, the handmade noodles were ready.

Place the cooked noodles in a bowl, then pour the remaining stir-fried water bamboo shoots and beef over them. The fragrant water bamboo shoot and beef noodle soup is ready.

After finishing his meal, Shen Nanxi took the prepared lunchbox to work. After he left, Chu Yang also prepared to go to the construction site.

While Chu Yang was chopping vegetables in the kitchen, Zhang Yu came again, but Chu Yang didn't even look up.

"Your Excellency Chu Yang, the project has been completed ahead of schedule, and tomorrow is the last day of work. To celebrate the completion of the project, there will be a celebratory banquet at the hotel tomorrow, and we hope you can attend."

"Can I bring my family?"

Zhang Yu's smile was a little stiff, but he then spoke in a gentler tone.

"Families are not allowed. This is just an internal company celebration. But don't worry, the banquet won't last long and will be over soon."

Chu Yang wanted to refuse, but Zhang Yu stood by, seemingly unwilling to leave unless he agreed. He glanced up at Chu Yang expressionlessly.

"Okay, I'll go."

Upon hearing Chu Yang's agreement, Zhang Yu happily bowed and nodded before leaving the kitchen.

When she got home that evening, she told Shen Nanxi about it and asked him to meet her outside.

"No problem, I'll wait outside. If that Zhang Yu keeps bothering you, I'll..."

"Huh? So what?"

Chu Yang looked at Shen Nanxi, who seemed hesitant to speak, with a gentle smile.

"Just...just say he's shameless."

"Hahaha, okay."

Actually, Chu Yang didn't really want to go to the banquet. He already thought Zhang Yu was a treacherous person, and his sinister smile made him feel scared. But in order to get his hard-earned money, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
