The answer was soon revealed.

Soon after Wang Sirui and the others returned home, Haitian and Ji Xuerou appeared in front of them.

Without waiting for Wang Sirui and the others to ask, Ji Xuerou raised her hand and said, "We went to buy two pieces of jewelry." ”

When everyone looked at it, it was not true.

On Ji Xuerou's frosty wrist, there is an extra bracelet of fiery red coral beads, lined with her ice muscle and jade skin, which is very good-looking.

"What are you going to buy jewelry for no reason?"

Nalan Yuxi furrowed her beautifully shaped eyebrows and looked at Ji Xuerou with some puzzlement.

"That is, how could this guy go to the capital to buy two pieces of jewelry? Who else do you want to give it to? ”

Li Bing said as he used his eyes to look for traces of Haitian in the Inner Flower Hall.

To her surprise, Haitian did not appear in her sight.

"Hey, where did this guy run away all at once?"

"He's going to see Sister Ye Mei in the back."

This time, it was Wang Sirui who answered Li Bing's question.

Li Bingleng paused, couldn't help wrinkling his beautiful nose and muttered, "This guy, is he going to use his crooked brain again?" ”

"You're wrong."

Ji Xuerou smiled and continued: "Haitian, he gave a gift to his daughter this time on behalf of Gang Master Ye. ”

"Strange, strange."

Nalan Yuxi shook his head: "Why did he want to give a gift to the Ye Gang Master?" ”

Wang Sirui smiled slightly, and just as he was about to speak, someone came to report and someone came.

"Haitian, thank you."

Ye Mei looked at the red and purple Huoshan carved phoenix hairpin in her hand, and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

"It's hard work, why worry about it."

Haitian waved his hand and continued: "This is a gift that your father asked me to bring you, this is a piece of his heart!" ”

Nodding lightly, Ye Mei said softly to Haitian: "You have shown your skills in Linzhou, and now your reputation in the capital is even louder."

"Isn't that the credit of your father and the other brothers?"

Haitian snorted a haha, although the praise of the beauty made him secretly happy in his heart, but he still knew that it was appropriate to show his demeanor, not to mention, he came to see Ye Mei this time, not to listen to her praise.

"Oh, yes."

As if he had thought of it by accident, Haitian casually mentioned: "When we were in Linzhou, my uncle was always a person all these years, and someone introduced a ...... to your father."

Speaking of this, Haitian deliberately paused and secretly observed Ye Mei's expression.

Seeing that although she tried her best to keep the smile on her face, the look in her eyes was a little nervous, and she didn't realize that she knew it secretly.

"But your father refused."

The look in Ye Mei's eyes suddenly relaxed, and she seemed to be secretly relieved.

Haitian also pretended to sigh lightly, and continued: "Later, your father rejected the hearts of several people, it's really strange, he has never been beautiful, but this kind of thing ......"

Hearing Haitian say this, the expression in Ye Mei's eyes became complicated again, she unconsciously stroked the Huoshan carved phoenix hairpin in her hand, and only raised her head after a while, and said with a reluctant smile: "My father is like this, he has always put big things first, and he has never considered personal matters." ”

"I talked to your father once." Haitian shook his head and suddenly smiled weirdly: "Guess what he said?" ”

Ye Mei's heart shook wildly, and she blurted out and asked, "What did he say......"

As soon as the words came out, she suddenly realized that she was a little out of shape, so she quickly shut up and smiled at Haitian quite uneasily.

Haitian smiled slightly, as if he didn't see Ye Mei's uneasiness, and said to her with a relaxed attitude: "Your father said at the time that he would not think about his own affairs until your life's major events were settled. ”

Ye Mei's pretty face turned red, and she quickly explained: "Father is joking with you......"

Haitian laughed, stood up and said to Ye Mei: "I care about both him and you!" ”

After that, he suddenly came to Ye Mei's face, his eyes staring at her bright eyes, motionless.

Looking at Haitian's burning gaze, Ye Mei looked very unnatural, and even looked a little restless and at a loss.

"You know what? In a person's life in the world, he will encounter many things, some happy and some unhappy. If you don't try your best to pursue happy things, then unhappiness will dominate your whole life. ”

Ye Mei opened her mouth blankly, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Life is short, do you enjoy it in time?" ”

Shaking his head, Haitian stood up straight and said lightly: "I never care what outsiders think of me, because I want to live every day happily." ”

The light in her eyes flashed, and Ye Mei's expression was like a mystery, but Haitian's words set off a huge wave in her heart, which made her have more understanding of the inner world of the man in front of her, and at the same time made her evaluation of Haitian change a lot.

But even she herself couldn't tell what kind of feeling she felt about Haitian in her heart.

"Helper! There's a guest coming! ”

The footsteps of the subordinates came from the corridor, and then the pretty figure appeared at the door of Ye Mei's room. Relieved the dull atmosphere in the room.

Haitian answered and politely said goodbye to Ye Mei, and just as he turned around to leave, Ye Mei's low voice came from behind.

"Thank you for the gift, I will keep it well."

As soon as these words came into his ears, Haitian's figure slammed into a slam, and he stood for a while, but finally didn't turn back, and slowly walked out of Ye Mei's room.

……………

The purpose of the people who came to Haitian this time was only one, that is, to inform Haitian to attend the joint meeting at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.

Haitian didn't expect that as soon as he returned to the capital, someone would find him, although Haitian was still holding a public office, but after all, it was only a position with no real power.

What kind of meeting is this joint meeting?

After sending off Eima, Haitian immediately summoned all the leaders of the Zhongyi Gang in the capital, and after encouraging everyone, advised each of them to let his brothers pay more attention, and stop all activities for the time being, except for daily surveillance, so as not to attract too much attention and unnecessary trouble.

Arrange a qiē properly, and when you get home, it's already dinner time.

Wang Sirui and others were already waiting in the restaurant.

The subordinate came up to take off his coat for Haitian, and then handed him a white wipe to wipe his face and clean his hands.

"Today's dish is very good!"

After sitting down, Haitian looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table and said very happily.

Because he saw that the colors and appearances of several of the dishes looked very similar to those made by Wang Sirui, and the colors looked even brighter, which made him feel his index finger move.

"Of course, you don't want to see who the chef is today?"

Wang Sirui said to Haitian with a smile on the side, and then she pointed to the most beautiful dishes among them.

"These are all made by the Cheryl girl, they're beautiful, aren't they?"

"Really?"

Haitian's eyes suddenly became round, and he looked at Ji Xuerou, who was smiling proudly on the side.

"These dishes look almost exactly the same as those cooked by Sister Sirui, when did you learn to do this?"

As soon as she heard Haitian's words, Ji Xuerou nodded proudly and said, "I just learned from Sister Sirui, and of course the dishes I make are similar!" ”

"Great! Great! ”

Haitian praised it a lot, Wang Sirui has not personally cooked for Haitian during this period of time, and he really misses her exquisite craftsmanship very much.

"Then you can taste it, is it delicious?"

Ji Xuerou saw that Haitian was so happy, and she was even more proud in her heart, and immediately urged Haitian to do it.

"It looks like every dish is very delicious, but which one should you eat first?"

Haitian happily complied, and after raising his chopsticks, he wandered over the exquisite-looking dish.

After a few moments, he finally took a fancy to the fish in the middle.

On the white jade plate, there are golden fish burnt, tender green onions and dark red sauce, which is really colorful and very beautiful, and people can't help but move their index fingers when they see it.

"When you see a color like this, you know it must be delicious."

While complimenting, Haitian picked up a piece of white and yellow fish meat and sent it to his mouth.

"Is it delicious?"

Ji Xuerou looked at Haitian with confidence, but unexpectedly found that the original bright smile on his face became stiff for a moment, and then a strange look appeared in her eyes, she couldn't help but ask a little nervously.

"Hmm......"

Haitian's face seemed to be smiling, and he chewed hard for a while before he said vaguely: "It's delicious, it's delicious!" Let's all try this delicious food! ”

Ji Xuerou breathed a sigh of relief, and Wang Sirui and Nalan Yuxi also secretly put a heart back into their stomachs, and stretched out their chopsticks to pick up the dish with a smile on their faces.

Who knew that as soon as they entered, Wang Sirui and Nalan Yuxi's faces immediately changed greatly.

"It's ......"

Nalan Yuxi couldn't help but take a small mouth, and a large piece of fish meat in his mouth suddenly turned into a flying fish filament, all of which sprayed to the ground. After wiping her mouth with a napkin, she stared at Haitian with some tears and laughter.

"Why are you lying to us like that?"

Haitian had already spit out the fish in his mouth at this time, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Everyone is in trouble!" ”

"Sister Cheryl! How the hell did you burn it, did you misplace something? ”

Wang Sirui elegantly spit the fish on the plate next to him, shook his head and sighed slightly.

"It's strange, I'm exactly doing what my sister said!"

Ji Xuerou was puzzled, stretched out her chopsticks and tasted it, and immediately lost her face.

Fish is also fish, but the taste is sour and bitter, and it is inedible at all, and even if you stay in your mouth for a while, you will faint. It's really embarrassing for Haitian, and he actually pretended to chew for a while.

"I thought you'd learned it after a few practices!"

Nalan Yuxi on the side shouted bad luck and shook his head and sighed.

Before leaving Linzhou, Ji Xuerou had already let them taste her amazing craftsmanship, but she didn't expect that until now, she hadn't made any progress.

Wang Sirui said to Haitianjiao: "Knowing that this fish meat tastes so good, you still come to harm us?" ”

"I'd like you to try Cheryl's handiwork!"

Haitian replied a little vaguely, at the moment he was busy asking his subordinates to bring him tea and rinse his mouth.

"I don't believe it! Obviously, she did exactly what Sister Sirui said, why did it taste so bad? ”

Ji Xuerou paused for a while, and reached out to take the plate of honey next to her. Juice meat and bones, this is also her work.

"You see, you can get rid of the honey of the bones with a shake of the chopsticks. Meat bones, this shouldn't be bad, right? ”

As she spoke, Ji Xuerou picked up a piece. Sure enough, with a shake of her chopsticks, the bones and flesh automatically detached.

"You taste it, this is definitely Sister Sirui's original flavor."

Ji Xuerou sent this fragrant piece of meat and bone to Haitian's plate and looked at him hopefully.

"Uh, this ......"

Although he was palpitating, seeing the tenderness emanating from Ji Xue's soft eyes, Haitian couldn't refuse the beauty's heart after all, and slowly stretched out his chopsticks.

Of course, what attracted him was the tangy scent.

Wang Sirui and Nalan Yuxi both looked at Haitian with a worried look, they knew Ji Xuerou's skills, and Fang Cai's dish had already made them very sure that Ji Xuerou's cooking skills had nothing to look forward to.

What reassured them a little was that after Haitian put the meat in his mouth, he didn't react particularly violently, and it seemed that he was a little hopeful.

After biting twice, Haitian's brows furrowed, this meat and bone has only a fragrance and appearance, but the unique taste that Wang Sirui burned at the beginning is completely gone, and the food that should have melted in his mouth has become a tenacious eraser, no matter how he bites, he will not move.

"Isn't that right? Then try this again! ”

Ji Xuerou saw that she had lost two games in a row, and she was very ashamed, so she picked up another dish and recommended it to Haitian.

"Ahh Is this one? ……”

Haitian looked at Wang Sirui and Nalan Yuxi with his eyes, but saw that the two of them turned their heads and ordered their subordinates to serve them food, and buried their heads in eating, as if they didn't pay attention to the matter between him and Ji Xuerou.

This meal, Haitian ate until the middle of the moon, and then came down from the table exhausted, and Ji Xuerou was still sitting there meditating, what did she get wrong?

As for Wang Sirui and Nalan Yuxi, they have already slipped away a long time ago.

Touching his stomach that had been brutally abused, Haitian was ready to settle accounts with Wang Sirui and Nalan Yuxi, and actually left him there alone to deal with Ji Xuerou's "food", they were too cruel!

"Young Master, do you know? Miss Cheryl has been busy in the kitchen for most of the day today, using up most of the condiments in the kitchen and breaking more than 30 plates......"

Halfway through, Haitian met a subordinate, who told him with a smile that made Haitian shake his head and smile bitterly.
