In the post-modern kitchen, Xue Rong was full of panic.

"Xiao Wen, this is not good... How can I let you cook on your first day here?"

"It's okay, sister Xue, I often make this soup for my dad at home."

"Do you really not need my help?" Seeing Wen Yuan skillfully chopping onions, Xue Rong was filled with admiration.She had heard that the one who was going to move in was a pampered young master, she thought that Wen Yuan would not do housework at all, but she did not expect his knife skills to be so good, not inferior to her professional at all.

"It's just making borscht, it'll be quick. Just help me take out the beef and butter from the refrigerator."

Xue Rong helped him take out the ingredients in the refrigerator, watched Wen Yuan cut the meat neatly, turned on the fire, and heated up the pot.She realized that she was being overwhelmed, so she smiled and exited the kitchen.

When Wen Yuan finished cutting the beef and was about to fry it in the pan, a long and tall figure suddenly appeared at the door.

"what are you doing?"

The cold voice made Wen Yuan's heart tremble. The beef on the plate accidentally fell into the frying pan, and the hot oil splashed on the back of his hand. Wen Yuan cried out in pain, realizing that Qi Jinran was looking at him , suddenly felt ashamed.

Qi Jinran looked at him in a hurry, his handsome eyebrows and eyes seemed to be frozen with a layer of ice, and his tone was impatient.

"Don't use these clumsy tricks to please me, I won't eat what you cook."

After saying this, Qi Jinran turned around and went back to the bedroom leaning on his cane.

You look so stupid in the kitchen, you don't even know how to fry beef, can the food you make be edible?

Wen Yuan didn't know that Qi Jinran had already given his culinary skills a negative score in his heart. Although he was splashed with hot oil on the back of his hand and even ridiculed by a man, he didn't give up, but continued with the next steps.Put the raw beef on a plate, heat the pan with olive oil again, add onions, tomatoes, and beets, stir fry, and finally add potato cubes, and then pour water to cook the soup.

After a while, the kitchen was filled with the rich aroma of food.Xue Rong walked in following the scent, and her eyes lit up when she saw a pot of bright red borscht.

"Xiaowen, are you done so soon?"

"Well, just add some seasoning. Sister Xue, you can try the taste for me and see how it goes."

"Okay."

Xue Rong filled a small bowl with a spoon and tasted it. The soup was rich and delicious. The sweetness of the vegetables and the tenderness of the beef complemented each other. After one bite, the whole stomach was warmed up.Xue Rong gave a thumbs up in admiration.

"Xiaowen, I can't even make this taste! It's so delicious! I'll bring a bowl to the young master right away."

"No, he can't eat it. You can drink with the housekeeper. I'm going out soon, so I won't eat at home."

In the afternoon, I'm going to help the bakery. It's almost a little bit now, and he doesn't have time for lunch, so he can just go to the shop and have a lunch.

Seeing Wen Yuan leaving in a hurry with his bag on his back, Xue Rong felt a little distressed.

She was cleaning the living room before, so she naturally heard what Qi Jinran said at the kitchen door.The young master is also true. On the first day Xiaowen moved in, he didn't say anything if he didn't welcome him. He didn't even want to drink the borscht that he spent an hour making. It was too heartless.

With that in mind, she tentatively went to the study, and before knocking on the door, she heard a voice from inside.

"Just make some porridge for lunch, I have no appetite."

"Okay, sir."

Xue Rong sighed helplessly, and went downstairs to the kitchen.

In the study lounge.

Qi Jinran stood by the French windows with double doors, looking at the lake outside the window. As the weather became colder and colder, the wound on his right leg that had healed up long ago began to feel itchy again.He closed the window with a pale face, returned to the desk, and slowly removed his prosthesis.

There are cold coffee and cigars on the table, and there is an unfinished design manuscript on the electronic screen.He picked up the pen and made changes on the screen a few times, and the way Wen Yuan was scrambling in the kitchen before suddenly flashed in his mind, and a trace of irritability flashed in his eyes.

Maybe he shouldn't have agreed to his grandfather, letting such a reckless person live in would only disrupt his rhythm of life.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

It was Qi Donghui calling.

He asked Wen Yuan if he was at home and how he was adapting, and asked the two of them to go to Qi's old house for dinner tomorrow.

Qi Jinran responded with a few perfunctory words, and hung up the phone.

After a while, Xue Rong made fish porridge and served it.Qi Jinran drank a few sips, and felt that it was too light, but after all, he asked for it first, and it was not easy to get angry. After taking two sips, he put down his chopsticks and went back to the bedroom for a lunch break.

He woke up from starvation, his stomach was empty, and even though the villa had floor heating, he still felt cold all over his body.He frowned and touched the crutch beside the bed, propped himself up, and wanted to call Sister Xue to make something more, but he didn't know what to think, so he swallowed the words back.

Sister Xue must be resting at this time, forget it.

He went to the kitchen on crutches to see if there was any bread in the refrigerator.As soon as he entered, he smelled a strong food aroma, which was sweet, and immediately aroused the glutton in his stomach.He turned around and saw that the thermal soup pot on the stove was still plugged in, and the aroma was coming from there.

It is estimated that sister Xue cooked some soup.Without thinking too much, Qi Jinran opened the lid of the pot, and the rich aroma of the soup rushed to his face. He couldn't help but take a bowl and taste it.Just ate it.The sweet and sour taste fills the whole mouth, the tomatoes and potatoes are cooked sweet and soft, mixed with the tender and refreshing beef, it is very appetizing.

After eating a small bowl, Qi Jinran's entire stomach warmed up, and the coldness in his body dissipated a lot.

When he was about to scoop up the second bowl, Qi Jinran's movements suddenly stopped, and his face became extremely stiff.He suddenly remembered that when he came down, he saw Wen Yuan was cutting beef and potatoes in the kitchen, so, could it be that he cooked this pot of soup?

Thinking of the cruel words he said before, Qi Jinran felt uncomfortable, put down the bowl quickly, and walked out with a cane.But when he got to the door, the smell in his mouth was still lingering. He hesitated for a long time, but with a blue face, he returned to the cooking table.

"Master, tonight you will eat at home—"

Xue Rong at the door of the kitchen didn't know what she saw, the second half of the sentence stuck in her throat, her expression was both surprised and happy.

Qi Jinran put the bowl back without changing his face, and said coldly, "This soup is so bad."

Xue Rong gave a meaningful "Oh" and pointed to the corner of his mouth.

"Master, you still have soup on your face."

Qi Jinran: ...

Just talk about it.

evening.

Wen Yuan returned to Shuixieju, and was surprised to find that the borscht in the kitchen had been consumed.

He originally wanted to keep some for himself to drink, but he didn't expect Sister Xue and the others to have such a good appetite.Smiling helplessly, as soon as he left the kitchen, Xue Rong greeted him with a smile.

"Xiaowen is back, dinner will be ready soon, you can eat some fruit first."

Wen Yuan nodded, went to sit on the sofa, just after eating a slice of orange, Xue Rong suddenly leaned towards his ear mysteriously.

"The young master finished the rest of the borscht."

Wen Yuan's eyes widened, and he looked at her in disbelief.

Xue Rong wanted to say something, the elevator dinged, and Qi Jinran came down from the second floor. The man's handsome face was pale and gloomy, and he was holding a rosewood walking stick in his hand.

Xue Rong hurried into the kitchen.

Wen Yuan was still immersed in the joy of Qi Jinran drinking the soup he made, when he saw the man approaching, his facial features immediately stretched out, and a big smile appeared on his handsome face.

"Mr. Qi."

Qi Jinran said "um" indifferently, put down his cane, and sat down on the sofa opposite him.

Wen Yuan touched his hair in embarrassment, seeing the plump and juicy oranges on the coffee table, he couldn't help picking up the tray and bringing it to Qi Jinran.

"This navel orange is very sweet, would you like to try it?"

Qi Jinran was inexplicably upset when he saw his anti-client look, and raised his deep eyelids.

"I don't like sweets."

"Ok."

Wen Yuan made fun of himself and put down the tray again.The Qi family is good everywhere, but it's a pity that the owner who lives here doesn't like him.His parents also let him get along with Qi Jinran well, but with his attitude, it would be good if he didn't throw him out one day.

No one spoke, and in the silence, Wen Yuan turned on the TV, and just jumped to the children's channel, which was playing SpongeBob SquarePants.Seeing Pai Daxing's deflated scene, Wen Yuan couldn't help laughing, and suddenly, a displeased look shot over.

Wen Yuan's laughter stopped abruptly.

Damn, I almost forgot that this is not my home.

He laughed, changed to a serious news channel, and sat down to watch the news obediently.Just seeing half of it, the eyes can't help but drift to Qi Jinran's face.

Not to mention, although this guy has a poisonous mouth and a deadly tsundere, but this face is so beautiful, 360 degrees without dead ends, especially when the face is sideways, the bridge of the nose is high, the eyelashes are thick and long, he can bear it. I can't help but want to dial.

While all kinds of thoughts were running wildly in his mind, the man who was quietly watching the news seemed to notice something, and suddenly turned his face, looking at him unkindly with deep black eyes.

Wen Yuan was caught, blinked his eyes guiltyly, and quickly stood up: "Then what, I'll go to the kitchen to see if the meal is ready."

Wen Yuan ate this dinner very lonely.

In the past, when eating at home, he would share all kinds of interesting things at school with his parents.But here, he and Qi Jinran were the only ones sitting opposite each other. Qi Jinran didn't speak, and he didn't dare to speak. Except for eating, he didn't dare to breathe.

After finally eating, he was relieved and rushed back to his room.

Looking at the cold night outside the window, Wen Yuan finally felt a little uncomfortable.

He wanted to call his parents, but he was afraid that they would think too much, so he finally gave up. Being bored in the room was not an option, so he decided to go out for a walk.

It was raining outside, so he had to wander around indoors. He didn't take a good look at the villa during the day. If it wasn't for Xue Rong's introduction, he wouldn't even know that there is a game room and gym on the third floor.He changed into casual shorts and a T-shirt, and planned to go for a run in the gym. As soon as he stepped through the door, the phone in his pocket rang.

"Mom?" Wen Yuan didn't expect his mother to call him.

"Xiaoyuan, are you still used to being in Qi's house?"

Although Ye Xia is very satisfied with Qi Jinran and agrees with this marriage, but through yesterday's engagement banquet, she can probably see that Qi Jinran doesn't seem to be very interested in this marriage, and she is a little worried after all.

Hearing his mother's voice, Wen Yuan's nose felt a little sore for a moment, but he didn't want to worry Ye Xia, so a smile appeared on his face.

"Get used to it, it's the same as being in your own home, and it's bigger than home."

"Then... what about Jinran? How does he treat you?" This is what Ye Xia is most worried about.

Wen Yuan laughed: "He was very kind to me. When I moved in, he even postponed the meeting and helped me pack things together. We went out to eat pasta in the evening, at a restaurant by the lake, the steakhouse It’s so delicious, I’m so full.”

"Really?" Hearing what her son said, Ye Xia couldn't help laughing: "I can't tell, Jin Ran likes you quite a bit."

"Of course, I'm still an economics manager. It's not a matter of minutes before a Qi Jinran prostrates himself under my jeans!"

"Ah."

In a corner of the fitness room, there was a mocking chuckle suddenly.

Wen Yuan was dumbfounded when he saw Qi Jinran standing up from behind the elliptical machine.
