After being reborn, I became the big boss's darling.

"We can watch TV another time. Let's go home first. Okay?"

"Oh... okay."

Shen Ceyan smiled and rubbed her head, then squatted down, picked up the shoes that were placed to the side, held her slender white ankles, and gently put them on for her.

Shen Ceyan let Lin Cheng leave work early, and now it was just the two of them. He packed his things, picked up Ji Nianci's bag, took her hand, and the two of them walked towards the underground parking garage.

Because this floor was reserved for Shen Ceyan, and the two of them went down the president's private elevator, no one noticed them along the way. Otherwise, Ji Nianci wouldn't have allowed Shen Ceyan to hold her hand so openly.

Shen Ceyan was very unhappy that she didn't want to make this public.

He had mentioned to Jinianci before that they should not go public, as he didn't want to be hiding things at the company every day, and it would be more convenient for her to come and see him if they went public.

It was rejected outright on the spot by Ji Nianci.

Shen Ceyan was shocked that she rejected him without even thinking. He looked hurt and asked incredulously, "You think I'm not presentable?"

Jinian Ci denied it with a smile, saying, "No, that's not true. I just don't want to be too conspicuous in the company. Just imagine, if we went public, everyone would greet me as 'Madam' as soon as I entered the company. How embarrassing would that be? You can stand it, but I can't."

"..."

Shen Ceyan eventually gave in to her wishes.

After the two got into the car, Shen Ceyan helped her fasten her seatbelt while asking, "Where do you want to eat? At home or out?"

“Hmm…” Ji Nianci thought for a few seconds: “Let’s eat at home.”

"it is good."

After a pause, Ci Jinian added, "I want to eat your cooking."

"Okay." He agreed without thinking.

"You can cook?" Ji Nianci was somewhat surprised that someone of Shen Ceyan's wealth could cook.

"Isn't this a very basic skill?" Shen Ceyan glanced at her indifferently.

"..." I feel like someone is subtly criticizing me.

After saying that, Ji Nianci regretted it a little. He had been working all day, and when he got home, his wife still had to cook for him. She felt that her wife was being too unfair.

"Ugh, never mind, I'll just grab something to eat when I get back..."

Shen Ceyan interrupted her impatiently, "What are you calculating? You should think about what dishes we want to eat later."

After saying that, Shen Ceyan started the car and drove out of the garage.

Ji Nianci turned her head away and chuckled to herself, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart.

As soon as the two arrived home, Shen Ceyan went straight to the kitchen, not forgetting to ask her what she wanted to eat.

Not wanting him to work too hard, Ji Nianci said, "Just make him some noodles."

Shen Ceyan expressed his dissatisfaction with her answer: "I've been working all day, and you want me to eat noodles with you?"

Ji Nianci thought about it and felt it made sense. "Then let's have braised pork ribs and sweet and sour pork."

Shen Ceyan only let her go when she finally told him what she wanted to eat.

"Okay, wait and see."

"Let me help you out."

"No need," Shen Ceyan refused without hesitation. "Just wait to eat."

Ji Nianci asked in bewilderment, "Why? Although my cooking skills are average, I can still help out in the kitchen."

Shen Ceyan thought for a moment and gave a lame reason: "...I have my own rhythm when I cook."

"..."

"Alright, alright, you don't need to come in." Seeing that Jinian Ci was still in the kitchen, he put his hands on her shoulders and led her out: "These two dishes won't be ready so soon. Go upstairs and take a shower first, and you can eat them when you come downstairs."

"Okay..." She didn't argue with him anymore and went upstairs to take a shower.

Ji Nianci was standing in the bathroom, about to close the door and prepare to take a shower, when her phone rang. She picked it up out of habit and saw that it was a message from Zhou An.

That was a very sincere short essay.

Zhou An: [Niannian, are you busy? I've thought about this for a long time, and I've decided to talk to you. Lately, I've been thinking about our dating days, those sweet times. We were so good back then. I would wait for you after class whenever I had free time, and you would do the same. We ate together every day, went to the library together, strolled around the playground together, and during holidays, we often traveled to various places, played games, and ate all kinds of delicious food. Back then, I secretly vowed that I would marry you. Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned. I changed, becoming the kind of person you hate the most, and I did many wrong things to you. So these days, I've been reflecting on my mistakes, and I feel very guilty. I often can't sleep at night. I'm really so sorry to you. But I feel that these words typed online can't truly express my guilt, so I want to ask you out to apologize properly. Don't worry, I'm not here to beg for your forgiveness, but to ease some of my guilt. Would you like to meet me?]

After reading this seemingly sincere but actually hypocritical piece of writing, Ci Jinian couldn't help but laugh. Zhou An's linguistic artistry was truly becoming more and more refined.

If I hadn't known their plans, I might have been moved by this piece of writing, but unfortunately...

Zhou An really went to great lengths to get her to come out.

Ji Nianci expressionlessly silenced her phone and tossed it aside. She didn't reply. Whatever, taking a shower and eating were more important.

After taking a shower, Ci Jinian went downstairs and smelled a rich aroma of food.

Her eyes lit up, and she quickly walked to the dining table and sat down.

Shen Ceyan indeed prepared the two dishes he had requested, which looked enticing and smelled delicious. He also stir-fried a plate of bright green bok choy.

"Eat up." Shen Ceyan ladled a bowl of rice and placed it in front of her. He sat down next to Ji Nianci, and the first thing he did after picking up his chopsticks was to put some food on her plate.

Looking at the abundance of dishes laid out in front of her, Ji Nianci couldn't wait to pick up her chopsticks and start tasting.

After just one bite, her eyes lit up. Before she had even swallowed the food, she generously gave a thumbs-up and exclaimed, "Delicious!"

Ji Nianci was surprised again. She thought Shen Ceyan's cooking was at most edible, but she didn't expect it to be so delicious.

Thinking back to how confident I was in cooking for him, it all seems so insignificant now.

"Of course." The man smiled, finding those two words particularly pleasing.

"I never knew you could cook so well, Shen Ceyan, you have this skill too." Ji Nianci mumbled between bites.

Shen Ceyan scoffed, "Do you think I'm like Shi Xubai, a pampered young master who never lifts a finger?"

"..."

Shi Xubai was happily playing games in bed when he suddenly sneezed. After thinking for a moment, he pulled the blanket over himself.
