CEO's Secret Pet: Woman, You Can't Escape Even If You Have Wings

Shen Jingyan skillfully tied on an apron, washed her hands, and began to prepare for cooking.

First, she took out the fresh vegetables one by one and washed them carefully. The tender green vegetables looked more vibrant under the water. She gently scrubbed each leaf to ensure that there was no trace of dirt left. Then, she placed the carrots on the chopping board and cut them into even slices with a sharp knife. The orange-red carrot slices were neatly arranged, like small works of art.

Then, she began to process the meat. She cut the tender beef into small pieces with skillful and neat movements. Each piece of beef was of moderate size and the texture was clearly visible. She put the cut beef into a bowl, added appropriate amounts of salt, soy sauce, cooking wine and starch, and gently stirred it with her hands to allow the seasoning to fully penetrate the beef and make it more flavorful.

After the preparations were completed, Shen Jingyan lit the stove and a blue flame rose. She poured a little oil into the pot, and when the oil was hot, she added onions, ginger and garlic into the pot and stir-fried them. Instantly, a strong aroma came to her nose. Then, she poured the marinated beef into the pot and stir-fried it quickly. The beef kept rolling in the pot, gradually changing color and emitting an attractive aroma. She skillfully controlled the heat to prevent the beef from being overcooked.

Then, she put the washed vegetables into the pot and continued to stir-fry. The emerald green of the vegetables, the orange-red of the carrots and the brown of the beef complemented each other, creating a colorful scene. She added the right amount of salt, chicken essence and a little sugar for seasoning, and then stir-fried a few more times to evenly distribute the seasoning on each ingredient.

Next, Shen Jingyan began to prepare the braised fish. She first cleaned the fish and cut a few times on the fish to make it more flavorful. Then, she poured an appropriate amount of oil into the pan, and when the oil was hot, she put the fish into the pan and fried it until both sides were golden brown. When frying the fish, she carefully turned the fish over to ensure that the fish would not break. After frying the fish, she poured out the excess oil in the pan, added onions, ginger, garlic, bean paste, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, sugar and an appropriate amount of water, boiled it over high heat and then simmered it over low heat. During the stewing process, she poured the soup on the fish from time to time to make the fish more flavorful. As time went on, the soup became thicker and the aroma of the braised fish became stronger and stronger. Finally, she served the braised fish on a plate, sprinkled it with chopped green onions and coriander, and a dish of braised fish with good color, aroma and taste was ready.

Shen Jingyan did not stop her busy pace and started to make sweet and sour spare ribs. She first washed the ribs and put them in the pot to blanch to remove blood and impurities. After blanching, she took out the ribs and rinsed them with clean water. Then, she poured an appropriate amount of oil into the pot, and when the oil was hot, she put the ribs into the pot and fried them until both sides were golden brown. Then, she added an appropriate amount of sugar, stir-fried on low heat to produce sugar color, and evenly coated the ribs with sugar color. After that, she added vinegar, light soy sauce, cooking wine, ginger slices and an appropriate amount of water, boiled over high heat, and then simmered on low heat. During the stewing process, she turned the ribs from time to time to allow the ribs to evenly absorb the flavor of the soup. When the soup became thick, she added an appropriate amount of salt to season it, and stir-fried it a few more times to make the ribs more flavorful. Finally, she served the sweet and sour spare ribs on a plate, which was bright red in color and sweet and sour.

Finally, Shen Jingyan turned off the stove and put the delicious dishes on the plate. The dishes with good color, aroma and taste exuded bursts of hot steam, which greatly increased people's appetite. She walked out of the kitchen with the dishes and a satisfied smile on her face.

Shen Jingyan placed the dishes on the table and said to Lin Yu with a smile, "Come and try my cooking."

Lin Yu looked at the delicious dishes with praise in his eyes: "It looks delicious, you are really amazing."

The two sat down and began to taste the food. Lin Yu picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth. After tasting it carefully, he said: "The texture of this beef is just right and the taste is also very rich."

Shen Jingyan smiled and said, "As long as you like it. Eat more vegetables and have a balanced diet."

Lin Yu tasted the braised fish again: "This braised fish is so authentic, the fish meat is tender and the soup is rich."

Shen Jingyan nodded slightly: "I deliberately stewed it for a while longer to make the fish more flavorful."

They ate delicious food and chatted. Lin Yu asked, "Have you really decided to sell this villa?"

Shen Jingyan's eyes were firm: "Yes, although this place is beautiful, it is full of memories and makes me very painful. I want to start my life again."

Lin Yu looked at her with understanding: "I support your decision. You will definitely find your own happiness."

Shen Jingyan smiled faintly: "I hope so. From now on, I will concentrate on teaching in Guizhou and live a simple life."

At this moment, Jiang Xiyan was busy in the president's office, with documents piled up like a mountain. His brows were slightly wrinkled, and his eyes were focused and sharp. At this time, his subordinates hurriedly reported that Shen Jingyan was now in Jiangyu Manor. Hearing this news, Jiang Xiyan's heart trembled suddenly, and those past memories with Shen Jingyan in Jiangyu Manor surged into his mind like a tide, and his longing spread instantly.

Although he had married Xia Qingcheng, deep in his heart, he would always love Shen Jingyan. He put down his work without hesitation and got up to rush to Jiangyu Manor.

When Jiang Xiyan arrived at Jiangyu Manor, he happened to meet Shen Jingyan and Lin Yu having dinner. Seeing that Lin Yu, who had fought with him last time, was also there, Jiang Xiyan's heart was filled with anger. His eyes instantly became cold, and he stared at Lin Yu tightly, as if he wanted to see through him.

Shen Jingyan noticed Jiang Xiyan's arrival, her body stiffened slightly, and the chopsticks in her hand stopped. She raised her head and looked at Jiang Xiyan, her eyes full of complicated emotions.

Jiang Xiyan strode to the dining table and glared at Lin Yu: "Why are you here?"

Lin Yu met Jiang Xiyan's gaze without fear: "Why can't I be here? Jingyan and I are friends."

Jiang Xiyan gritted his teeth and said, "Friends? Humph, I don't think it's that simple."

Shen Jingyan stood up and tried to ease the tense atmosphere: "Jiang Xiyan, don't get me wrong. Lin Yu is just here to help."

Jiang Xiyan looked at Shen Jingyan, his heart full of pain and helplessness: "Jingyan, why do you want to be with him? Have you forgotten our past feelings?"

Shen Jingyan's eyes dimmed: "We can't go back anymore, you already have your own family."

Jiang Xiyan closed his eyes painfully: "I know, but my heart is always with you."

Lin Yu looked at Jiang Xiyan and said firmly: "Jiang Xiyan, since you are married, you should be responsible for your family. Jingyan needs to start her life again now, so don't bother her anymore."

Jiang Xiyan's eyes widened as he stared at Lin Yu, his chest rising and falling violently, as if he was about to explode in the next second. He gritted his teeth and said, "What qualifications do you have to say such things? Do you think you can give Jingyan true happiness with your insignificant ability? It's just a foolish dream!"

Facing Jiang Xiyan's questioning and accusations, Lin Yu had no intention of backing down. He straightened his spine, looked firmly and powerfully at Jiang Xiyan's eyes burning with anger, and responded righteously: "I know that I may not be strong enough now, but I will do my best to protect Jingyan and let her feel endless warmth and love. Unlike you, you once deeply hurt her heart and left her with indelible pain."

At this time, Shen Jingyan, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't help but speak. She raised her head, her eyes revealing deep fatigue and helplessness. She said in an almost pleading tone: "Please, stop arguing. Jiang Xiyan, I'm really tired and fed up with all this. Please leave. From now on, I don't want to have any involvement or entanglement with you." After saying that, Shen Jingyan slowly turned around, leaving them with a lonely back.

Jiang Xiyan looked at Shen Jingyan's resolute eyes, and his heart ached: "Jingyan, I..."

Shen Jingyan interrupted him: "Please leave, I don't want to see you."

Jiang Xiyan turned away helplessly, his back looked so lonely and desolate. Shen Jingyan looked at his departing back, tears blurring her eyes. Lin Yu walked to her side and gently patted her shoulder: "Don't be sad, everything will be fine."

Shen Jingyan wiped her tears and nodded: "Well, let's continue eating."

They sat down again and continued to eat dinner, but the atmosphere became heavy.

After dinner, they cleaned up the table together. Lin Yu took the initiative to wash the dishes, while Shen Jingyan helped to dry them.

After cleaning up, they came to the living room and sat on the sofa to rest. Shen Jingyan looked at the scenery outside the window, feeling a lot of emotions in her heart.

Lin Yu leaned down slightly, got close to Shen Jingyan's ear, and whispered softly, "Don't think too much, the future will definitely get better and better." His soft and gentle voice was like a spring breeze, bringing a touch of warmth and comfort.

Shen Jingyan turned her head and her eyes met Lin Yu's. Tears flashed in her eyes, full of gratitude to Lin Yu. She opened her red lips and said slowly: "Thank you so much, Lin Yu. During this difficult time, if you were not by my side, supporting and encouraging me, I don't know how I would have held on. Now, I really feel much better."

Hearing this, Lin Yu's face blossomed with a warm and gentle smile like the sun. He shook his head gently and responded softly: "Shen Jingyan, you don't have to be so polite. Although you haven't nodded to agree to be my girlfriend, it doesn't prevent us from being good friends! Friends should support and take care of each other, so these are what I should do."

They continued chatting, sharing each other's lives and dreams. Before they knew it, it was already late at night. They were in this quiet villa, enjoying this moment of peace and warmth.
