“What are you all doing?”
Everyone was stunned to see Ji Ziming at the entrance. In that instant, the kitchen fell silent.
Pei Ge and Sister Yun’s aggression toward each other also disappeared.
Sister Yun lost her initially arrogant attitude toward Pei Ge at the sight of him.
As for Pei Ge, one needed not to mention it.
She was just boasting about the man liking her cooking, so, with his appearance here, her heart could not help but thump fast with guilt.
His gaze briefly swept across the two and eventually rested on Pei Ge. He coldly asked, “What’s the menu for today?”
“Ah?” She failed to register his question for a moment. Recovering herself, she belatedly replied, “Fish soup and vegetables.”
Looking at her dazed look, he ignored the fact that she was planning to prepare another simple meal for him.
However, what he chose to overlook, another person did not ignore. This person was of course Sister Yun, who used to painstakingly prepare all his nutritious meals before.
“Miss Pei, this lunch seems a bit simplistic.” With him present, Sister Yun made it clear that she did not approve of this secretary’s impression of what constituted as lunch.
Although she was speaking politely on the outside, she was actually roaring on the inside, How is that lunch menu just a bit simplistic?! It is actually very simplistic! Vegetables and fish soup... Are you kidding me?!
The most expensive sea erythema among the ingredients she had delivered today would cry, alright?!
“Really? It’s just enough for one person.” She blinked her eyes and thought that Sister Yun was really finding fault with her!
How was it simplistic to serve vegetables and fish soup for one person?
The food would have a variety of fish and meat, alright?!
“He he! Miss Pei, our master is not any pedestrian person.” Sister Yun could not prevent herself from laughing coldly and speaking sardonically.
Pei Ge heard her ridicule and arched an eyebrow. She turned to fix Ji Ziming with her ablaze, black eyes.
“CEO Ji, do you think that those dishes aren’t enough?” She strongly resembled a child complaining to a parent at this moment.
His lips curled into a slight smile at her antics and replied, “They’re enough.”
She then turned to look smugly at Sister Yun. See, your master thinks they are enough!
Sister Yun was not in the state to bother about the little secretary, whom she thought had little to no imagination, anymore, as she was thoroughly shaken inside at the moment.
She could not believe her eyes! Did her master, who had never once smiled, actually just smile?!
Moreover, when did her master become someone easily satisfied with such simple dishes?!
God, I must be hallucinating....
“Alright, alright, I’m going to make lunch now. You all leave, please.” After PKing Sister Yun, Pei Ge chased everyone out of the kitchen.
Sister Yun was still in disbelief as she and the others were ushered out of the kitchen.
The kitchen was much more spacious with the people gone.
Since Ji Ziming took her side and helped her defeat that Sister Yun, whose eyes grew on her head, she was in an especially good mood and felt that his handsome face was soothing to look at right now.
“What do you like to eat?” Thus, she decided to prepare another dish of his preference!
“Like?” He arched an eyebrow slightly. He did not seem to like any particular dish.
Seeing his confusion, she kindly rephrased, “What do you want to eat today?”
Ji Ziming, for reasons unknown, thought of the fish soup she had boiled for him yesterday.
“Fish soup,” he clearly stated with a cold face.
If Mu Heng were here right now, he would call his best friend a sorrowful ghost. He clearly wanted to eat fish soup, yet he still maintained his numb face.
However, Pei Ge was used to seeing his cold face, and, at his request for her to boil fish soup, she only happily nodded. She was about to say something when she suddenly remembered the ugly red fish and her forehead folded tightly together.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing her frown, Ji Ziming’s heart tightened and his forehead scrunched up as well.
“This fish doesn’t seem edible at all. Its color is so weird. I think it won’t taste delicious in soup.” She looked at the different types of expensive fish in the water tank and spoke in a contemplative and picky manner.
If the most expensive fish in the tank could understand what she had just said, it would angrily and disdainfully splash her with its tail. This foolish girl dared to disdain the topnotch fish that the average person could not enjoy!
He watched her fuss at the fish in the tank and, in that instant, felt helpless yet amused.
And here he thought something big had happened....
“That fish may look ugly, but its meat is fresh and savory, so a soup made with it will definitely taste delicious,” he lightly explained.
She could only nod at his words. “I hope so.”
She suspiciously eyed the ugly red fish.
“CEO Ji, I’m going to cook now. You can wait outside,” she told the man who was still in the kitchen.
He looked at her and softly hummed before turning to leave.
As such, in the big kitchen, only she remained.
Seeing the abundant ingredients, she blinked and picked up the apron she had placed on the kitchen counter.
“Boil fish soup and sauté some meat with green peppers and vegetables... Hmm... That should be enough,” she muttered as she put on an apron.
Ji Ziming was about to exit the kitchen when he looked backward, as if he had thought of something, and saw her put on the apron.
Seeing the back view of the woman who was neither petite nor beautiful and was, instead, slightly plumped, he found her especially pleasing to the eye. For some reason, it made him feel the warmth of home and his cold eyes softened.
