“It’s so delicious!”
“This is so delicious!”
“This is so, so, so delicious!”
Seeing how this woman would praise the food with every bite, Ji Ziming was happy and speechless.
By the end of the meal, the sumptuous dishes on the table were almost entirely gone.
” Burp !”
Because she had eaten too much, Pei Ge could not help but burp.
“Ziming, the food you made is too delicious! If you cook for me every day, I think I’ll turn into a fatso!”
The man looked at the dining table and saw that she had eaten most of the five dishes; right now, there was only the fish soup left.
“En, you did eat a little much today.”
He frowned a little as he spoke seriously. He then started worrying about the stomach of the stupid woman sitting across him.
Looking at the seriousness on the man’s face, she blinked then muttered, “Isn’t it your fault for making such delicious food? Plus, everything you made are dishes that I like.”
“Okay, I’ll try to cook fewer in the future.” He told her this when he heard her words.
“Eh? You’re still cooking for me in the future?” She looked at him in shock.
“Why? You don’t want me to do that?” He raised a brow, his tone a little threatening.
She hurriedly shook her head. “Of course not! Of course, I want to eat it. The food you make is so delicious; why wouldn’t I want to eat it?”
The reply she gave and the sincerity in her clear eyes put the man in a good mood. His lips upturned at the corners silently.
“But...” She looked straight at him seriously.
“En?” He became serious as well, thinking that she had something important to tell him.
“If I turn into a fatso because of your cooking, you won’t abandon me, right?” She blinked and asked rather seriously.
“...” He originally thought that she would say something important, but he did not expect her to talk about that.
The corners of his lips twitched a little, and for the moment, he did not know what to say.
She became more solemn when he did not reply right away.
“Say; if I turn into a fatso because of your cooking, will you not want me anymore? Will not despise me?”
Unable to withstand her harassment, he spoke, “... I won’t.”
“I’ll take your word for it, so in the future, you’re in charge of cooking, and I’ll be in charge of washing the dishes,” she declared happily, clearly content with his reply.
“En, I’ll cook, and you wash the dishes,” he softly concurred, smiling at her.
When she heard what he had said, she began imagining her married life with him in the future...
Just as she was starting to get engrossed in her imagination, the man’s deep, cold voice interjected, “Move back here.”
“En?” Returning to her senses, she looked at him in bafflement and asked, “Move back where?”
“Here. After the holiday, move back here.” We will continue living together.
He reiterated as he stared at her.
“Er...” Hearing his request, for a moment, she did not know what to say or how to answer him.
This was because... after the holiday, she wanted to go back to Tianjin to settle all the problems of Jiaheng Real Estate.
“Ziming...” she said weakly, her eyes full of hesitation.
“I want to discuss something with you.”
“What’s the matter?” He frowned a little.
However, even though he looked calm, he was actually really nervous inside.
He was worried that this stupid woman before him would reject his request. After all, the only reason that they were able to cohabit together before was that he had threatened her.
“It’s just that...” She paused but soon closed her eyes and, as if making up her mind, said, “I intend to go back to Tianjin after the holiday.”
“... Back to Tianjin?” He frowned the instant he heard her words.
“En, back to Tianjin.” She nodded, seemingly less nervous now that she had said it aloud.
“Although it looks like Jiaheng’s crisis has been averted, I’m still worried of problems cropping up if there’s no one there to keep watch.
“If that does happen, all my hard work will be for naught.”
With a somber expression, she spoke of her worries.
“Ziming, I need to finish what I started, so I want to resolve the issue in Jiaheng complete before I come back.”
His tightly furrowed brows relaxed upon hearing her explanation.
In his heart, a sense of pride rose.
This stupid woman was truly silly. He had clearly told her that she could return home with good benefits and special treatment – the whole package – but this stupid woman...
“Fine, then. Move over when you return from Tianjin,” he said gently. He then looked at her tenderly.
“En!” She nodded heavily and then broke into a bright smile.
“Wait for me to come back from Tianjin!”
“Mhm...”
“Ah! I’ll go wash the dishes now.”
“I’ll do it.”
“How can that do? We agreed that you’ll cook while I’ll do the dishes; don’t steal my job.”
After she washed the dishes and cleaned the dining area, as well as the kitchen, she sat down to have some tea with him in the living room before they left the ‘home’ that they had shared.
Looking at the night view outside the car window, her heart quieted down.
From time to time, he would peek at him.
She would even space out while looking at him. In truth, even now she did understand why he would like her and treat her well.
It gave her the feeling of being in a dream.
Was it not a dream?
Her boyfriend had good looks, excellent figure, high IQ, and an above-average family background – he was perfect in every way.
Now, she could add being able to cook, and so well at that, to the list!
That was a little too perfect!
She felt blessed and happy whenever she was reminded that such an almost perfect was hers. He also treated her really well.
However, while she felt blessed, she also felt a little insecure.
After all... the man was a little too perfect to the point that it felt unreal.
“Ziming, what do you see in me? Why do you like me?”
The man, who was driving the car, looked at her hopelessly when he heard her ask him this question again.
“Why are you asking this question again?”
“I just wonder why you like me since you’re so perfect. I’m neither pretty nor smart; I don’t even have a great body. I’m as mediocre as it gets. No matter how I look at it, I feel like—” I’m not good enough for you.
Mid-speech, he interjected, “Pei Ge, in my eyes, you’re a better match for me than anyone else.”
