Chapter 23 Washing Hands to Make Soup

After leaving the Zhenting Group building, Zhao Jinxing stood in the plaza at the main entrance and looked up at the building that towered into the clouds. This was her grandfather’s life’s work, and it was also where her mother spent her youth. From now on, she would be the guardian of this place.

“Buzz, buzz…”

Zhao Jinxing’s phone vibration interrupted her thoughts. She took out her phone and took a look. She saw a message from ‘Husband’, and she smiled sweetly.

Qin Yu must have secretly changed his contact name on her phone last night while she was asleep.

He definitely had game.

“Hello.”

“It’s me.”

“Mhm.”

“Is the meeting over?”

“Mhm.”

Qin Yu frowned and took his phone away from his ear to look at the caller ID. It was indeed Zhao Jinxing’s number!

“Is it inconvenient to talk?”

“No!” Zhao Jinxing smiled. “I learned it from you, the ‘mhm’ robot!”

Qin Yu couldn’t help but laugh. The little girl was making fun of him again! The meeting must have gone well seeing that she was in a good mood.

“Are you coming home for lunch?” Qin Yu asked.

Coming home for lunch… It had been so long since Zhao Jinxing last heard those words. Ever since Chen Ping and her daughter moved into her home, she hated the place and hated eating with them even more. She would rather eat outside than go home.

But now, there was finally someone who constantly wondered if she had eaten and would ask her if she would come home to eat.

“Yes!” Zhao Jinxing nodded hard.

“I want to eat sweet and sour ribs, crab powder tofu, stir-fried vegetables, and dewdrop fish and tomato soup.”

She wasn’t hungry at first, but the more she talked, the more she wanted to eat. “I can’t, I’m so hungry, I’m coming home now!”

“Okay, drive safely.” After hanging up, Zhao Jinxing walked to her designated parking spot. The security guard from the morning was already waiting by the car, waiting to open her car door for her.

“Thanks.” Zhao Jinxing quickly drove off.

Tianshangshui. “I’m back!”

Zhao Jinxing was changing her shoes at the door when Qin Yu poked his head out of the kitchen. “Go wash your hands. There’s fruit in the living room, dinner will be ready in half an hour.”

Zhao Jinxing went to the bathroom to wash her hands. When she passed by the living room, she took an apple from the fruit platter and nibbled on it as she walked into the kitchen.

“Why are you cooking?” Zhao Jinxing looked at Qin Yu, who was washing vegetables by the sink.

Qin Yu coughed a little uncomfortably, “Auntie Rong couldn’t handle it by herself, so I… came over to help.” Auntie Rong, who was cooking, laughed, “That’s not true! Sir said he wanted to personally cook for his wife, so he came over to help.”

Qin Yu frowned, feeling a little embarrassed that he had been exposed. He glared at Auntie Rong, who turned her head with a smile and pretended not to see him, continuing to cook.

Qin Yu met Zhao Jinxing’s teasing gaze and cleared his throat. “I… I’ve never cooked before. I’m just helping out.”

Although his expression didn’t change, Zhao Jinxing noticed that his ears were secretly turning red.

With his status, he had definitely never entered the kitchen before. However, just because she said she was hungry, he personally went into the kitchen to cook for her. This action alone made Zhao Jinxing so touched her heart skipped a beat.

“I’ll help too.”

Zhao Jinxing quickly finished her apple, threw away the core, washed her hands, and walked over to Qin Yu. “I’ll help you wash the vegetables.”

“No need, the water is cold. Go watch TV in the living room.” “No, I like washing vegetables.”
