Shi Yi averted her gaze uncomfortably and suddenly rembered that Leng Yixiu was still injured. She couldn’t help but ask worriedly, "You got up early to do all this. Wouldn’t it affect your injury?"
"Don’t worry, I’m not that fragile. Sit down and eat, or it won’t taste good."
Shi Yi sat down and took a bite of the sandwich. The taste was indeed not bad, much better than the ones bought from the store. She squinted at Leng Yixiu and smiled, "I didn’t realize you had the potential to be a great chef."
"I’m far from a great chef, but being a ho cook is more than enough."
"A ho cook? Isn’t that too much of a waste of your talent?" Given Leng Yixiu’s current status, he could earn millions from a single deal. How could soone like him stay at ho and beco a house husband?
"If I could cook for you every day, I would be happy." The man said half-jokingly, half-seriously.
Leng Yixiu’s gentle approach made Shi Yi feel a bit flustered. She had no doubt that if this continued, it might take just three to five days for her to fall for him completely.
Wouldn’t that be too embarrassing?
Shi Yi cleared her throat gently, deciding to change the topic. "Um... I noticed that Xiao Yi Xun has been much more cheerful lately. She seems to be more talkative than before."
Leng Yixiu naturally noticed this, and he smiled contentedly. "It’s all thanks to you."
"Thanks to ? I didn’t do anything."
"Before eting you, she could stay silent for an entire day. Even if she spoke, each sentence would generally be no more than ten words. But after eting you, everything changed. Even when you’re not around, sotis she actively interacts with and Sister Yi. Recently, her kindergarten teacher called to tell that she even started playing with other kids on her own."
"She used to... not like playing with the other kids at kindergarten?"
"It’s not that she didn’t like it; she just didn’t know how to play. You know, she has a mild form of autism."
"How did she end up having autism?"
The man’s lips tightened slightly. "It might have sothing to do with her childhood experiences. She was kidnapped at a very young age, lost her mother early, and was also born with so deficiencies. All these factors likely play a part."
What a pitiful child!
Seeing the man’s face darken, Shi Yi regretted bringing up such a heavy topic. She wanted to change the topic, but before she could, the sudden ringing of the doorbell broke the heavy atmosphere in the dining room. Shi Yi thought it might be Old He and felt a bit happy. Old He really ca at the right ti.
But when she opened the apartnt door, the smile on her face froze instantly. It was truly bad luck to encounter soone she disliked so early in the morning.
"Mr. Ouyang, what’s your business?" Shi Yi’s voice was sowhat cold, and her tone obviously reflected it.
Just as she spoke, sothing was thrown towards her. She instinctively reached out to catch it and realized it was her phone, which she had left at Ouyang Hao’s place.
"Here, your phone. Miss Shi, next ti, try to rember better. Not everyone is as honest as I am."
Shi Yi couldn’t stand Ouyang Hao, and Ouyang Hao wasn’t fond of Shi Yi either. He didn’t even have the desire to take another look at her.
Originally, Ouyang Hao was planning to leave after returning the phone. But when he saw Leng Yixiu appear behind Shi Yi, he changed his mind.
Ouyang Hao’s gaze shifted past Shi Yi and landed on Leng Yixiu. The warmth in his eyes gradually disappeared, but he still wore a charming smile. "Well, well, fancy eting an old acquaintance here. What a surprise!"
Upon seeing Ouyang Hao, Leng Yixiu’s first reaction was to observe Shi Yi’s expression. Noticing that she had no reaction to Ouyang Hao, and instead had a hint of impatience and dislike on her face, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The man smirked and said sarcastically, "So Mr. Ouyang is here too. What a coincidence."
"Isn’t it? What’s that saying? Ah... I rember! ’Narrow paths for enemies,’ isn’t that just us?"
Narrow paths for enemies?
Shi Yi twitched her lips. Ouyang Hao’s mouth was truly vile, not hiding his resentnt towards Leng Yixiu at all. As for the grudge between Ouyang Hao and Leng Yixiu, Shi Yi had heard so stories. The root cause was likely Leng Yixiu’s ex-wife. It seed Ouyang Hao still couldn’t let go of the past.
She couldn’t help but be curious about what kind of person Leng Yixiu’s ex-wife was, to make a playboy like Ouyang Hao so invested while also making Leng Yixiu unable to forget her.
Seeing the two n at odds over soone who had passed away made Shi Yi slightly uncomfortable. She sarcastically suggested, "So you two are old acquaintances. I have a bottle of red wine here, why not co in and have a drink?"
"No need!" Leng Yixiu and Ouyang Hao said in unison.
Ouyang Hao’s cold gaze swept over Leng Yixiu and Shi Yi, and he snorted, "Drinking wine depends on the company. Drinking with so people only spoils the appetite!"
Every word from Ouyang Hao was barbed, making Shi Yi very displeased. Her face darkened completely. "Since we spoil your appetite, I’m sure Mr. Ouyang doesn’t want to stay here any longer than necessary."
She pointed to the elevator at a distance. "Mr. Ouyang, the elevator is over there. Don’t let us keep you."
After sending Ouyang Hao away, Shi Yi’s good mood for the morning completely vanished. However, Leng Yixiu seed to be in a rather good mood.
"Do you have a grudge with Ouyang Hao?" the man asked.
"It’s a long story..." Shi Yi sighed. She didn’t know why Ouyang Hao disliked her so much.
Leng Yixiu didn’t press further. For him, this result was actually desirable. Still, he couldn’t help but warn, "It’s best to keep your distance from Ouyang Hao."
"Do you think I need you to tell that? As long as he doesn’t bother , I naturally won’t deal with him." She wasn’t stupid enough to seek trouble with Ouyang Hao.
"That’s good."
Considering Leng Yixiu’s gunshot wound wasn’t fully healed yet, and it was sumr, making infections easy, Shi Yi called Old He to take Leng Yixiu back ho.
As Leng Yixiu got into the car, Old He noticed the temperature in the car seed to drop a few degrees. Although Leng Yixiu still wore a harmless smile when leaving Shi Yi’s neighborhood, Old He had a feeling that the boss wasn’t in a sunny mood.
Sure enough, as the car rged onto the highway, Leng Yixiu started questioning him, "Didn’t I tell you not to co over?"
