Ma Xiaowen nearly jumped, but her Gao Yiqing was much calmer.

No wonder she felt the atmosphere wasn't right the moment she entered the door. It was because Ma Xiaowen treated her like this.

Cousin likes cousin? This was probably just a twisted possessiveness, to say the truth, it was impossible to treat her well with Ning Zhe. Sooner or later, he would like someone to marry, and even if he didn't have Gao Yiqing, there would still be others, so the only one he couldn't see was Ma Xiaowen.

"It's useless even if you hate me. He's always going to get married. He can't possibly cherish your cousin forever."

The two words, cousin's Gao Yiqing, purposely increased and completely stimulated Ma Xiaowen. As if she had gone mad, she rushed over and slapped her.

Seeing that the slap was about to land, Gao Yiqing subconsciously closed her eyes. However, she did not feel any pain on her face for a long time.

What was going on?

Puzzled, she opened her eyes. Unknowingly, there was already a familiar person standing in front of her. He held Ma Xiaowen's wrist with one hand and protected her behind his back with the other.

He had protected her well.

Ning Zhe! When did he come back?

Gao Yiqing were all shocked.

"Ma Xiaowen, I'm warning you not to let me see you touch my woman again."

That sentence was filled with three parts cold and seven parts threatening. There was no emotion in those ice-cold eyes.

Not like this, not like this before...

The thing she was most afraid of was this day. Although she knew clearly in her heart that her big brother Ning Zhe would marry someone else sooner or later, in terms of emotions, she could not accept that. What she hated the most was not Gao Yiqing, but any woman who stood by his side.

"She's a murderer, and escaped the law through mental illness. She doesn't have the right to be with you, big brother Ning Zhe, don't be tricked by her."

Ma Xiaowen, who was still unwilling to give up, activated all the cells in her body to tell the person in front of her how annoying Gao Yiqing was and how unbearable it was. However, these Ning Zhe were things that she knew even earlier, if they had been here, then they wouldn't have started it. His expression turned darker and darker, everyone who knew him knew that this was the best time to not make him angry, or else the consequences would be unimaginable.

"It has nothing to do with you. Mind your own business. The accounts in your hands are still unclear. Don't let me check them out." Even if it wasn't because he was angry at himself, Gao Yiqing could clearly feel just how angry he was at this moment.

When it came to the accounts, it was as if Ma Xiaowen's entire defense line had been broken. She looked at the Ning Zhe in disbelief, "You … "You actually chose to do this for her …"

"Leave my line of sight in five seconds, or you will face the consequences."

Ma Xiaowen's eyes couldn't help but widen the moment this decisive sentence came out.

"Five."

"Four."

"…"

Before the third number was said, Ma Xiaowen had already run away.

Seeing her hurried back, he could roughly feel how terrifying the threat of Ning Zhe was.

"Are you alright?"

When he turned his head to look at Gao Yiqing, the ruthlessness in his eyes immediately decreased by a lot. At least, it was no longer as frightening as it was before.

"It's fine. Is it really okay for you to do this?" She clearly saw the tears in Ma Xiaowen's eyes when she left. It wasn't because she sympathized with her, but because she felt that there was a high chance that she came here because of her Mrs. Ning.

"What's wrong? Do you think I'm being too gentle? "

Ning Zhe were puzzled, and they were suddenly at a loss for words.

I'm afraid this isn't being gentle …

As expected, their understandings of cultivation were different. Of course, it was possible that Ning Zhe had said that on purpose.

The servant heaved a sigh of relief. At that time, she was really afraid that these two would fight, but the servant was very clear on Ning Zhe's attitude towards Ma Xiaowen, so she suddenly entered the house with great respect. However, she didn't know that they were here just to cause trouble, and this time, she was able to feel who was more important in the heart of Ning Zhe.

He turned around and picked up the kitchen knife to cut the vegetables. Seeing her flustered look, Ning Zhe sighed and walked over to take the knife in her hand, "Do you know how to cut vegetables?"

Why does this sound like she doesn't know how to cut vegetables? Gao Yiqing immediately refuted, "Of course I do, it's just cutting vegetables, it's nothing."

However, her words made him laugh, Ning Zhe was curiously looking at her from the side, and actually did not plan to leave, which made Gao Yiqing somewhat distressed.

Don't say that he still wanted to inspect it.

"That, you have nothing else to do?"

Being stared at like that, he felt a little uncomfortable. Gao Yiqing asked doubtfully, and he indifferently shrugged his shoulders: "It's time to get off work."

"Then we can also go to see what's going on. What's the point of staying in the kitchen?"

To put it bluntly, she did not want him to stay here. However, how could the Ning Zhe wouldn't be able to tell?

"I want to see what you're going to cook."

He was actually interested in this? How was she supposed to control him? If he stayed here, it would be easy for others to be distracted. Didn't he know his own limits? Gao Yiqing secretly picked up his blade and cut a few times. The servant thought that it was rather bright of him to stay here, and after looking at Ning Zhe, he directly waved his hand towards her, signalling for her to leave.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Gao Yiqing suddenly spoke up, "Don't go, you're still helping me pick the leaves."

"I'll help you."

As he spoke, his Ning Zhe began to roll up his sleeves. This action shocked Gao Yiqing opened his mouth wide, but did not say anything for a long time.

For him, a grand Boss Ning, to cook by himself?

If it wasn't for the fact that she saw his actions, Gao Yiqing would have thought that she had heard wrongly.

"There's no need for that. I can handle it myself. You should get busy." She slightly rejected it, and her Ning Zhe frowned, "You suspect that I don't know how to do it?"

How could this be? How could she dare to doubt? It was just that she would be easily distracted if a buddha like him stayed here.

But in the end, they still stayed. If one were to be serious, Gao Yiqing would not change at all, so in the end, there would basically be no change.

She silently washed the vegetables and cut the vegetables. The majority of Ning Zhe s watched from the side, but the CEO didn't even know how to cook, right? Previously, she had clearly said those words to brag, but of course, Gao Yiqing wouldn't dare to say these words out loud.

"Give me the salt." Gao Yiqing took over half a day to pass over the so-called salt, then Gao Yiqing took it and began to add it into the dish. Adding on the salt, she felt that something was not right, thus, she scooped a spoonful and carefully looked at it, then raised her head with a surprised face, "This is sugar."

This was the first time she saw continued hesitation on the face of Ning Zhe, and it was simply too rare to see it.

Forcefully laughing, Gao Yiqing took out the salt and added it in, but he did not forget to ridicule in the end, "Sure enough, Boss Ning likes to eat sweet food, even likes to add more into the dishes."

"Who said I like sweet things?" He had a puzzled look on his face as he replied with his Gao Yiqing, "Your cousin."

"She's talking nonsense. I never liked sweets."

"Hmm?"

She turned her head in surprise and met his eyes. It was as if she understood the meaning of his sentence.

This person was trying to explain his relationship with his cousin. To put it bluntly, it was Ma Xiaowen who thought that she understood him.
