After being reborn, the scumbag CEO begs me to remarry him every day.

Tang Xia hasn't cooked for a while.

However, she is confident in her skills.

As soon as the three dishes and one soup were served, Aunt Ruan couldn't wait to start praising them.

"Look at it, it looks, smells, and tastes amazing."

"Aunt Ruan, you haven't even eaten yet. Isn't this compliment a bit insincere?"

As they spent more time together, Tang Xia and Aunt Ruan became familiar with each other, and they would occasionally joke around.

Aunt Ruan said, "I've been cooking for decades. I can tell from the smell and the look that this tastes amazing. Xinghan, don't just stand there, try it. Xia Xia made this especially for you."

Tang Xia blushed.

But there was no rebuttal.

This meal was indeed prepared to thank Jin Xinghan.

Under the watchful eyes of the two men, Jin Xinghan finally picked up his chopsticks.

He picked up a piece of Sichuan peppercorn chicken with his chopsticks and took a small bite.

The chicken is firm and tender, with a hint of sweetness, making it truly delicious.

Jin Xinghan didn't say a word.

But when he immediately picked up a second piece of chicken, he had already made his stance clear.

He loved it.

Tang Xia silently breathed a sigh of relief.

I've finally found a way to repay him.

Due to health reasons and the busy work at the company, I haven't been able to eat properly for a long time.

Even though Aunt Ruan cooked different dishes for him, he didn't eat much.

Tang Xia had just returned to the villa tonight when she heard Aunt Ruan say that Jin Xinghan seemed to have lost weight recently, and only then did she realize that he had always been eating very little.

Therefore, she volunteered to take on the task of cooking dinner.

In her previous life, Niannian's health was also poor.

Standing next to people her age, she looks a whole size smaller.

She was so thin and small, she looked so pitiful.

Later, in order to get her daughter to eat more at each meal, Tang Xia specially studied to become a nutritionist and also learned to cook from a famous local chef.

The combination of the two actually allowed Niannian to eat more and healthier.

She approached it with a try-it-out mentality, taking out a recipe she used to frequently make.

Unexpectedly, Jin Xinghan's tastes were similar to Niannian's.

That night, he ate two bowls of rice.

Aunt Ruan was so happy she couldn't stop smiling.

“I knew it. Xia is your lucky star. Since Cong and her daughter moved in, this villa has not only become more lively, but even your appetite has improved. I have to tell Dr. Wen this good news. He will definitely be very happy to hear it.”

Tang Xia felt a little embarrassed by the praise.

Then, she tentatively spoke up, saying, "Mr. Jin, if you like my cooking, I'll cook for the family from now on."

Jin Xinghan paused for a moment.

"No need."

The two simple words surprised both Tang Xia and Aunt Ruan.

Aunt Ruan was even more puzzled: "Xinghan, weren't you eating quite heartily just now? Is there anything you're not satisfied with?"

Realizing that the two might have misunderstood him, Jin Xinghan explained to Tang Xia, "Architectural designers are already very busy, and on top of that, you also have to take care of Niannian. I don't want you to waste your energy on this kind of thing."

Tang Xia hadn't expected that he would think that way.

She smiled faintly and said softly, "No, I can balance it. Please trust me, Mr. Jin."

Jin Xinghan stared at her with his deep gaze for a second, then immediately looked away.

"Just decide for yourself."

He wiped his mouth with a tissue, then got up and went upstairs.

As he turned around, a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips.

Inside the restaurant, Aunt Ruan was clutching her chest, looking visibly shaken.

"Xinghan rejected you so decisively just now, I thought he didn't like you. In the end, it turns out he still feels sorry for you."

"Aunt Ruan, please don't say that. President Jin just doesn't want me to miss work. After all, I was specially recruited into the design department by him. If I don't perform well, it will be his loss of face."

Aunt Ruan pursed her lips.

They clearly did not believe this explanation.

"You young people always say one thing and mean another. I'm going upstairs to play with Niannian."

Tang Xia watched her retreating figure and could only smile helplessly.

The next day.

She got up earlier than usual.

Since I promised to cook for Jin Xinghan, I can't go back on my word.

Lunch is a problem, but breakfast and dinner can both be prepared at home.

She cooked the medicinal porridge according to the recipe and also made some snacks.

As an architectural designer, she can even time things perfectly.

After all this was done, it was just past the time when Jin Xinghan woke up.

She quickly tidied up.

Jin Xinghan left the villa before going downstairs.

As soon as Jin Xinghan arrived at the restaurant, he saw Tang Xia hurriedly getting into a taxi through the glass window.

On the dining table, there were delicate and cute little snacks, as well as porridge served with rice.

It was clearly not Aunt Ruan's doing.

He pulled out a chair and sat down.

Pick up a piece of pastry and put it in your mouth.

It melts in your mouth, but it's not cloyingly sweet.

delicious.

He loved it.

At this moment, Aunt Ruan, carrying the newly awakened Niannian, also came downstairs.

Seeing the sumptuous breakfast on the table, he couldn't help but sigh, "Xia is such a good girl, I can't find a single flaw in her. Xinghan, if you really like her, take the initiative. Don't hurt her again."

"Yes, I know, Aunt Ruan."

Jin Xinghan turned to the side and reached out to the still sleepy child: "Let Daddy give you a hug."

As Aunt Ruan handed the child over, she scolded him playfully, "You haven't even married Xia yet, and you already want the child to call you Dad?"

Jin Xinghan just smiled and didn't explain.

He did not tell Aunt Ruan that he was Nian Nian's biological father.

the other side.

Tang Xia arrived at the company early.

Her evaluation results should be available today.

She spent the entire morning in a state of tension and excitement.

Although she is already twenty-five years old, this is her first time having a formal job, so she still has a sense of anticipation.

At noon, just as she was about to go to lunch, a colleague called her over.

"Tang Xia, the HR department wants you to go there."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

The thought that this would be the result of the assessment made Tang Xia quicken her pace considerably.

When she arrived at the entrance of the personnel department, she stopped and straightened her clothes in front of the mirror.

Take a deep breath and knock on the door three times.

"Please come in."

Tang Xia pushed open the door and entered, her attitude humble: "Hello, I'm Tang Xia from the design department."

The woman sitting behind her desk only looked up when she heard the name.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes, hidden beneath his glasses.

"sit down."

"it is good."

The woman shut down the computer.

He pulled out a folder from the pile of files beside him, placed it on the desktop, and pushed it over.

"Here are the evaluation results for your application for permanent employment."

Tang Xia nervously swallowed.

"OK, thanks."

Her hands were shaking as she went through the folders.

The first page contains her basic information.

The second page contains evaluations from department leaders and company colleagues.

Last page —

Tang Xia's gaze fell on the review results at the end.

Fail?

Her body stiffened instantly, her thumb pressing firmly on the three words.

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through her mind.

Why was it rejected?

Clearly, she has met all the standards!
