However, Zhou Ning of course didn’t dare tell the truth at this moment. He only looked at Old Xu on the ground, whose hair had been blown into a bird’s-nest, and teased the old man.
“Old Xu, you know the emergency number.”
“Quickly arrange yourself a VIP ward for the month, the Young Mistress will reimburse you.”
Old Xu weakly opened his mouth, and another puff of black smoke was expelled from it.
It was, to put it mildly, full comedic effect.
Zhou Ning and Yan Liang both couldn’t cook, so the arduous task of cooking naturally fell to Old Xu—but Old Xu’s culinary skills were… something else!
He left everyone in the dust!!
He was utterly bewildered as he watched the Young Mistress, who wasn’t used to using a kitchen knife, sliced the beef like she was dissecting it, and Zhou Ning, who had washed the vegetables by ripping off all the leaves and leaving only a pile of stems.
Luckily the two reacted quickly and, before the pressure cooker exploded, hauled Old Xu out by the legs.
Otherwise the consequence would probably have been… Old Xu meeting his maker far sooner.
“Young Mistress, I’m sorry!!”
“I’m too incompetent and can’t cook, he isn’t even qualified to teach the Young Mistress and insisted—it’s all my fault…”
Butler Xu’s tears streaked down his face.
This incident had frightened him as well.
He was already an old man, and crying like this gave him a strangely pitiful look.
Yan Liang waved her hand. “Butler Xu, sorry for the trouble. Next month’s bonus will be tripled.”
“Stay at our family’s special hospital as you like, get your health back first.”
As soon as Yan Liang finished speaking, Old Xu sprang up from the ground as if struck by a whip.
One could say Yan Liang’s words literally produced a medical miracle.
Yan Liang thought, that old fellow is really stingy.
But money meant nothing to her. After all, Butler Xu was the one she personally found to take care of her.
She didn’t want Old Xu to die.
“Zhou Ning, take Butler Xu to the hospital for a full checkup.”
Yan Liang gave the order in an icy voice, then nestled back into Qin Jiang’s arms.
“Jiang, I’m fine.”
“Just… scared.”
“You must find a chance… to make it up to me.”
Yan Liang’s dependent and sweet manner made her unbearably endearing, leaving Qin Jiang unable to blame her for anything.
He really had been frightened a moment ago.
At that moment he clearly realized how unbearable it would be to lose Yan Liang—the Young Mistress had unknowingly and completely invaded his heart.
Love took root.
It occupied all of him!!
“Good that you’re okay, good that you’re okay.”
“Yanyan, are you planning this early in the morning to personally… make breakfast?”
Qin Jiang found it a bit hard to believe—after all, in his previous life he had never once seen the Young Mistress step into the kitchen, even until his death.
Those hands of hers were meant to wield far greater realms. As for the kitchen, he could be the one to cook for Yanyan.
But there was no need for Yanyan to do those things herself.
He wanted to pamper her, to hold her in the palm of his hand.
Not make her into a woman who served him.
“Mm, I want to make breakfast for Jiang.”
“Jiang has made things for me before, so Yanyan wants to make things for Jiang too.”
“It’s just a pity… it’s all ruined!”
Yan Liang pouted, acting coquettishly.
Qin Jiang smiled indulgently at her.
He reached out and lightly tapped Yan Liang’s nose. That the most domineering and feared female tycoon CEO in all of the capital city would personally make breakfast for him was in itself incredible.
Whether it tasted good or not didn’t really matter.
“Silly girl…”
“You don’t need to go out of your way for anyone. Those who love you will naturally give in to you.”
“I am one of them, and fortunately… I have won your favor.”
Qin Jiang truly felt a pang in his heart and didn’t want Yanyan to change herself for him.
He wanted to be the one to move toward her.
That way, Yanyan wouldn’t be lonely.
Yan Liang stared at Qin Jiang without blinking. Affection and dependence slowly surfaced in her eyes.
This was the man she had chosen.
He respected and accepted her. He was the best person in the whole world.
“Mm… I want a hug.”
“I want kisses too.”
“I want Jiang to always pamper me, to coax me.”
“Okay?”
Yan Liang’s heart was utterly captured.
Before leaving, Zhou Ning couldn’t help glancing back. In the rolling smoke, the bodyguards were actively putting out the fire.
And their family’s domineering and decisive Young Mistress was going to be charmed into a lovestruck mess by Qin Jiang.
“Mm, I’ll satisfy Yanyan’s every wish.”
Warmth flashed in Qin Jiang’s eyes as he bent and wrapped his arms around Yan Liang’s waist, holding her tightly and deepening their lingering kiss.
In the end, Qin Jiang personally made a bowl of noodles for Yan Liang in the spare kitchen as breakfast.
“Yanyan, my noodles have always been good.”
“This time they’re not so good.”
“Baby, taste and see if it suits your palate?”
Qin Jiang looked at Yan Liang expectantly. The Young Mistress ate heartily, her happiness hitting maximum levels.
But… the next moment.
Yan Liang suddenly covered her mouth and ran toward the restroom…
Qin Jiang froze. Could it be that Yanyan was pregnant?
