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

Her eyes revealed a kind of firmness and irrefutability, as if telling Jiang Xiyan that she had made a decision. She folded her hands in front of her chest, as if to give herself more strength to persist. The light in the ward shone on her body, outlining her firm outline.

"Okay, I'll do as you say. But I hope you can keep your word." Jiang Xiyan leaned on the bed helplessly, his body sinking into the soft mattress, as if swallowed by the helplessness of reality. His eyes were full of expectation, his hands hung weakly on both sides of his body, as if they had lost all their strength.

There was a hint of helplessness and compromise in his voice, and his expectant eyes seemed to be waiting for a good result. His gaze was cast out the window, as if looking for a glimmer of hope in the distant sky.

"It's almost afternoon. I'll make you some nutritious meals. You take a rest first." Xia Qingcheng's tone softened a little, and she looked at Jiang Xiyan tenderly. Her eyes were full of tenderness and concern, as if the previous quarrel had never happened. She turned and walked to the corner of the ward, where a small kettle and a cup were placed. She picked up the kettle and shook it gently, listening to the sound of the water in the kettle, as if she was thinking about what kind of nutritious meal to prepare for Jiang Xiyan. Her figure seemed a little thin under the light of the ward, but full of warmth and strength.

"No need." Jiang Xiyan thought of the dark food Xia Qingcheng had made before, and quickly waved his hand to refuse. A trace of fear appeared on his face, and his body shrank back unconsciously. "I don't have much appetite."

Xia Qingcheng's eyes, as clear as autumn water, turned slightly, and she instantly understood what Jiang Xiyan was thinking. She knew very well that her cooking skills could be described as "terrible". Before she married Jiang Xiyan, she had always been a pampered young lady who had never touched the water of the house and had never set foot in the kitchen.

However, the situation forced her to bite the bullet and find Shen Jingyan again. Because before that, she had done an in-depth investigation into the past between Shen Jingyan and Jiang Xiyan. It turned out that the two were once deeply in love, but later Jiang Xiyan lost his memory for some reason, and Xia Qingcheng didn't know why they broke up. But even so, Jiang Xiyan's stomach was injured, and Xia Qingcheng chose to ask Shen Jingyan for help without hesitation. After all, she knew that only Shen Jingyan had the ability to help Jiang Xiyan through this difficult time.

With a hint of hesitation and expectation, Xia Qingcheng came to Shen Jingyan with slightly hesitant steps.

Her eyes revealed a complex emotion, a bit of shyness that was difficult to express, and an eager desire for help.

Her hands were twisted together unconsciously; they turned slightly white due to nervousness and her knuckles stood out due to the force.

"Shen Jingyan, I know I shouldn't come to you for help. You know Jiang Xiyan has a perforated stomach. I want to make some stomach-nourishing meals for him, but I really don't know how. Can you teach me?"

Her voice trembled slightly, with a hint of earnestness, as if she poured all her hopes into these words.

Shen Jingyan frowned slightly and looked at Xia Qingcheng in front of her, with a complex emotion surging in her heart.

Her gaze lingered on Xia Qingcheng's face for a moment, and a hint of confusion and helplessness flashed in her eyes, as if she was thinking about this complicated situation.

She bit her lips lightly, the color of her lips becoming brighter with this slight movement.

"Xia Qingcheng, why did you come to see me? You should know the current relationship between Jiang Xiyan and I."

There was a hint of confusion and helplessness in her tone, and a barely perceptible tangle flashed in her eyes, which was like a silk thread in the wind, floating unpredictably.

Xia Qingcheng bit her lips, which turned slightly white from being bitten, and she seemed to be trying to muster up her courage.

There was a determination in her eyes, although this determination was mixed with a hint of helplessness.

"I know, but I have no other choice. Jiang Xiyan needs someone to take care of him now, but I can't do anything. I heard that you used to cook for him, and I thought maybe you could help me."

There was a hint of bitterness in her voice and her eyes revealed helplessness and longing.

Her fingers unconsciously fiddled with the corner of her clothes, which became wrinkled in her hands, as if reflecting her inner uneasiness.

Shen Jingyan was silent for a moment, then sighed softly.

This tone seemed to contain many of her inner struggles and thoughts.

Her eyes became somewhat distant, as if she was recalling something.

"Okay, since you're so sincere, I'll teach you. But you have to remember, this is just for Jiang Xiyan's health, and it doesn't mean that I have any feelings for him."

Her eyes became firm, as if she was giving a clear reason for her decision.

She raised her chin slightly, as if to give herself more determination.

Xia Qingcheng nodded quickly, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.

There was a gleam in her eyes, like a glimmer of hope in the darkness.

The light is like the stars in the night sky, faint but full of hope.

"Thank you, Shen Jingyan. I will definitely study hard."

Her voice was full of determination, as if at this moment, she placed all her hopes on this study.

She clenched her hands tightly together, as if to cheer herself up.

Shen Jingyan held Xia Qingcheng's soft little hand with a smile on her face and slowly walked into the spacious and bright kitchen.

The kitchen is filled with a faint aroma, a unique smell mixed with various ingredients and seasonings, making people feel warm and comfortable.

The sunlight shines through the window onto the kitchen floor, forming golden spots, which seems to add a warm atmosphere to the kitchen.

Various cooking utensils are neatly arranged, sparkling with metallic luster under the sunlight, as if waiting for a culinary feast.

The shiny iron pot hung above the stove, reflecting the dazzling light. The shovel and spoon next to it lay quietly, as if waiting for their owner's call.

Shen Jingyan opened the refrigerator door skillfully and looked intently at the dazzling array of ingredients inside.

Her eyes were like an experienced hunter, searching for the most suitable prey.

The light in the refrigerator illuminates every corner, and all kinds of ingredients appear particularly fresh under the light.

After careful consideration, she carefully selected some vegetables that are believed to be good for the body, such as lush green spinach. The leaves are so tender and fresh, as if every leaf is telling of its freshness, with a few drops of crystal water hanging on them, sparkling under the light; the red carrots are bright in color, as if kissed by the sun, with a straight shape, smooth skin, and a faint fragrance; and the tender broccoli, the tight buds exude the vitality of life, and the green flower balls are like a dazzling gem.

Then, she took out fresh beef and chicken from the freezer. The meat looked clear in texture and attractive in color. The red color of the beef was deep and textured, and the white fat on it was evenly distributed like snowflakes. The white color of the chicken looked pure and tender, and every texture was clearly visible.

After selecting the ingredients, Shen Jingyan placed them on the chopping board one by one, ready to show off her skills and cook a nutritious and delicious meal for Xia Qingcheng.

Her movements were skillful and confident, as if she was the queen who dominated everything in the kitchen.

The chopping board is a thick wooden board with some shallow knife marks on it, recording the countless times it has been used for cooking.

Shen Jingyan picked up a sharp kitchen knife, the blade of which flashed coldly in the sunlight, and she began to process the ingredients skillfully.

Shen Jingyan began to introduce in detail the recipes of stomach-nourishing meals.

"First, you need to prepare some fresh ingredients, such as millet, pumpkin, and yam, which are all good stomach-nourishing foods. Then, you need to clean them and cut them into small pieces..."

Her voice was gentle and clear, like a patient teacher teaching her students.

She pointed at each ingredient and explained in detail how to prepare them.

Her fingers were slender and flexible, as if dancing on the ingredients.

Xia Qingcheng listened carefully and asked some questions from time to time.

"So how long should this be cooked? How much seasoning should be added?"

Her eyes were full of curiosity and concentration, and she stared closely at Shen Jingyan's every move, afraid to miss any details.

Her eyes were wide open, like a child eager for knowledge.

Shen Jingyan patiently answered her questions, demonstrating and explaining.

"This needs to be cooked until the millet becomes soft and the pumpkin and yam are cooked through. Don't add too much seasoning to avoid irritating the stomach..."

Her hands gently picked up the knife and skillfully cut the ingredients into even small pieces. Every movement was smooth and natural.

The knife seemed to have life in her hands, dancing lightly on the food.

Xia Qingcheng followed Shen Jingyan's instructions and started to do it.

But she had no experience after all, and she was in a panic, either adding too much water or the wrong seasonings.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, sparkling in the sunlight, just like her inner anxiety.

She hurriedly picked up the spoon, trying to save the already chaotic situation. The spoon stirred in the pot, making a "swish" sound.

Shen Jingyan looked at her clumsy appearance and shook her head helplessly.

"You have to be careful and don't rush. Cooking requires patience."

There was a hint of comfort and encouragement in her voice, and understanding in her eyes.

She walked over and gently patted Xia Qingcheng's shoulder to give her some comfort.

Xia Qingcheng wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "I understand. I will work hard."

There was a hint of determination in her voice, and even though her movements were still clumsy, her eyes revealed a determination not to give up.

She picked up the ingredients again and tried hard to follow Shen Jingyan's instructions.
