[I'm dying of laughter. I wonder how long you've been waiting for this. Your wife finally gave you a chance, huh?]

【Beautiful wife, don't think he's harmless. He's got a lot of bad ideas. Trust me, I won't hurt you!】

Lu Liruan stood frozen in place for a few seconds, wondering if it was just her imagination.

Just now, Cheng Nianzhi's soft lips lightly brushed against my fingertips, so quickly that I didn't know if it was real or just my imagination.

Just seconds before, Xiao Yiyi, who had been cautiously worried that Lu Liruan would be scolded, stared in disbelief for a moment, then her face quickly turned red.

Before Lu Liruan could even turn around to speak to her, she jumped off the sofa and slipped away without saying a word.

【Yi Yi is still too young to see these things.】

[Completely oblivious to everyone else! I only understand what it means to be completely oblivious to everyone else today!]

[This is hilarious! You're setting a bad example for kids! Next time, show it to us separately; we're not kids anymore!]

Xiao Yiyi returned to her room, patted her chest, and thought to herself that this show was getting harder and harder to record.

When Xiao Yiyi woke up in the morning and saw Sister Jingyun and Brother Fu acting awkwardly, even if she was completely oblivious, she knew this wasn't a place for her.

Then I just saw Sister Li Ruan and Brother Nian Zhi again. Although they didn't seem to do anything, it seemed like they did everything. Xiao Yiyi was forced to blush and her heart was pounding.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yuan was tidying up his things in the house when Xiao Yiyi grabbed his clothes as soon as he stepped out.

The chuunibyou boy couldn't help but smile, and before he could even organize his thoughts, Xiao Yiyi continued, "Don't go to the living room."

"Why?"

"It will disturb Sister Li Ruan and Brother Nian Zhi," Xiao Yiyi said in a low voice with a serious expression.

Lu Yuan: ...?

Huh? No, what are they doing in the living room? The thing is, that's the living room! The chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) boy was completely bewildered.

Lu Liruan lingered next to Cheng Nianzhi for a while, growing increasingly uncomfortable. Finally, she coughed and said, "Um, I'll go help Jingyun prepare the menu for tonight!"

Then he slunk away.

When Lu Liruan's footsteps disappeared at the top of the stairs, Cheng Nianzhi sat up straight on the sofa, holding the remaining half tomato. He leisurely bent down and leaned forward to look at the live monitor on the table.

He glanced at the rapidly scrolling comments, raised an eyebrow slightly, and although he didn't say anything, his nonchalant expression was completely different from before.

He brought the tomato to his mouth, smelled it, and then put it down.

[That's hilarious! What's wrong, can't eat anymore?]

It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Once you've eaten what your wife feeds you, how can you possibly eat a tomato?

[Speak up! Speak up! Your smug look is so irritating! Ugh! The hatred of having my wife stolen!]

Upon seeing the last comment, Cheng Nianzhi curled the corners of her lips, tucked her loose hair behind her ear, and her beautiful eyes curved into two crescent moons.

Ah Zhi is really... sometimes very easy to understand.

[How can we steal someone else's wife?! Li Ruan likes both his face and his legs; given how good he is, let's just admit defeat!]

Okay, okay, I know you're good-looking, stop showing off.

Cheng Nianzhi didn't eat the remaining half of the tomato; he put it back in the refrigerator in a food storage container.

Before dinner that evening, Lu Liruan looked at Cheng Nianzhi leaning against the wall and suddenly realized that his weight loss was quite effective.

Under the light, Cheng Nianzhi's facial features and bone structure appeared even more distinct and three-dimensional against the backdrop of shadows.

The shirt cuffs were unbuttoned, revealing the prominent knuckles and veins of the wrists, giving them a slender yet powerful appearance.

When he saw Lu Liruan leave, his eyes lit up, making Lu Liruan's heart flutter.

Damn, who can resist this? Such a beautiful face, so eye-catching, such a gentle and considerate person, and he expresses his joy without any attempt to hide it the moment he sees you.

It seems like you are very important to him. As long as you smile at him and treat him well, he is satisfied and unconditionally shows his tenderness and favoritism.

Lu Liruan's heart softened whenever she saw him.

"Why are you waiting for me here?" Lu Liruan thought of something: "Aren't you going to eat tonight? Then don't come down, so you don't feel uncomfortable watching us eat."

Cheng Nianzhi shook her head: "It's okay, I've lost weight so much that I don't really want to eat anymore."

"Did you receive Director Yu's message?" Cheng Nianzhi asked her casually.

"Ah! Received it! It's basically settled. Director Yu said he'll send me the script tonight or tomorrow." Lu Liruan had never acted before, but she found it novel and was very interested.

Cheng Nianzhi smiled and said, "That's good. I'm really looking forward to being with Li Ruan..."

He followed Lu Liruan downstairs, watching her light steps, and blinked to conceal the scheming in his eyes.

With the last piece of the puzzle in place, almost all of my preparations were complete.

The two followed each other downstairs and saw Fu Tingshen carrying out the last dish.

President Fu had a serious expression on his face, as if he were going to a board meeting, but he was holding a plate of shredded pork with green peppers in his hand.

Seeing Lu Liruan and the others come down, she nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Lu Liruan: ...

She could sense that President Fu was being stiff and helpless in his attempts to please her.

During this period, Shi Jingyun's cooking skills improved by leaps and bounds, and she even tried to teach Lu Liruan, but later she discovered that...

With the same seasonings and the same process, the dishes made by Lu Liruan always... always had that subtly unappetizing quality.

I tried, but it was completely useless.

When Lu Liruan asked to cook again, Shi Jingyun had a complicated expression, but she was kind and didn't want to hurt Lu Liruan's ambition: "It's okay, being able to cut vegetables is already very good. We have to take it step by step."

[Jingyun is so kind, I'm going to cry!]

[Just how bad is my beautiful wife's cooking?! Could she hold a nationwide cooking tour and meet-and-greet? I really want to try it!]

But in the past few days, Lu Liruan has been able to go into the kitchen and even receive praise from Cheng Nianzhi.

Because all Lu Liruan had to do for Cheng Nianzhi was chop up various vegetables and fruits and put them in a bowl, or simply throw the vegetables into boiling water to cook, she now had two signature dishes.

"It's delicious, I really like it." With Cheng Nianzhi's sincere praise, Lu Liruan's chin almost reached the sky.

No wonder I don't have a wife, sob sob, it turns out I don't have the ability to lie through my teeth!

Eat, eat, eat! Sour, smelly, bitter!

Everyone sat down to eat. Cheng Nianzhi sat next to Lu Liruan, slowly and half-heartedly picking at the boiled vegetables in front of him with his fork.

His lack of interest affected Lu Liruan, who also lost her appetite. Suddenly, she remembered something.

Since Cheng Nianzhi started losing weight, he has really not eaten anything he shouldn't have these days, oh... except for that half a small twisted dough stick.

Moreover, there was no negative emotion in him. From this point of view, Cheng Nianzhi is really a very self-controlled and persistent person.

"Why is Li Ruan looking at me like that?" Cheng Nian asked, tilting her head as she rested her chin on her hand.
