The induction cooker and hot pot utensils were turned out from the cabinet, as well as the sealed can containing the consommé base, but fortunately, the expiration date had not expired.

Over there, Cheng Xinnan had already washed the meat and put it on the plate, cut the bamboo shoots, tofu and cabbage he brought, took the hot pot he handed over, and cleaned it under the faucet.

Then it is to pick up the water, put the induction cooker on the table, throw the hot pot base into it, and heat it.

The three of them sat around the table, watching the base melt in the water, gradually turning into a pale gold like chicken soup, and small bubbles gurgling out.

"That's right, Sister Xinnan." Cheng Jinyang tried to find a topic, "Have you heard about the attack on Zhongshan South Road today?" ”

"Hmm." Cheng Xinnan was still staring at the bubbling soup noodles, as if he was observing whether the water was boiling, "I heard that the six doors have issued a notice to close the case, saying that the displaced people who crossed the river did it." ”

"How is that possible?" Xing Yuanzhi said in a low voice, "Sniper rifles, rockets...... How could it be a weapon that could be obtained by the homeless? ”

She stood up and went to the kitchen to get a small plate of sauce: "What sauce do you want?" ”

"I want that beef tendon bibimbap sauce in the fridge." Cheng Jinyang said.

"Thanks, just seafood soy sauce." Cheng Xinnan's taste is surprisingly simple.

Xing Yuanzhi came back with a plate, and the hot pot was already rolling.

Cheng Jinyang couldn't wait to get the meat in.

"Next Wednesday, the Cheng family will worship their ancestors." Cheng Xinan suddenly said, "Jinyang, will you go back with me?" ”

Cheng Jinyang was stunned for a moment, and turned his gaze to Xing Yuanzhi.

"You decide for yourself, what do you want me to do?" Xing Yuanzhi asked inexplicably.

Yes, even if she doesn't agree, it is impossible to say that I will refuse in front of Sister Xinnan. Cheng Jinyang thought to himself.

But judging from Ah Zhi's unkind attitude, it is obvious that she doesn't want me to go. As I said before, Shendu Cheng's attitude towards me has been chaotic for a long time, so it's too passive to go back directly like this, in case something happens......

"Sister Xinnan, let's not talk about this first, the meat is getting old." He smiled and picked up the chopsticks, sandwiched meat for Cheng Xinnan, then Xing Yuanzhi, and finally himself.

"Well, you think about it first, and give me an answer next Tuesday at the latest." Cheng Xinnan also understood what he meant, so he cleverly gave him a step.

The three of them began to eat meat. Xing Yuanzhi's movements are slow and elegant; Cheng Xinnan's movements are similar, but the speed of the chopsticks is faster - these two people are obviously trained in corresponding etiquette.

As for Cheng Jinyang, he is much more rude in this regard. But fortunately, the two girls next to him, a fiancée and a cousin, were not outsiders, so he left his posture and let go of eating.

Xing Yuanzhi ate about a small bowl and silently put down her chopsticks. She didn't eat much, and since it was already night, she would have nightmares later, so she didn't plan to eat too much.

Cheng Xinnan ate more than half a bowl and was full, and then kept eating the meat, and then put it into Cheng Jinyang's bowl with a smile.

Xing Yuanzhi's eyelids jumped when she saw this: I'm still sitting here! Your brother and sister actually show affection in front of my fiancée?

"Sister Xinnan, I'm full." Cheng Jinyang saw that Ah Zhi's face was cold, and hurriedly smiled and declined his cousin's kindness.

"You can't eat enough." Cheng Xinan put down his chopsticks and said with a smile, "My Ah Yan is three years younger than you, and you can eat at least three bowls of shabu-shabu beef like this." ”

"My family's Jinyang food is not large." Xing Yuanzhi echoed beside him.

"The amount of food is not large", which means "you are not allowed to eat anymore", and he naturally knows the meaning of Ah Zhi's words. Therefore, Cheng Jinyang pretended to touch his stomach, smiled wryly and waved his hand: "I really can't eat it." ”

"Okay then." Cheng Xinnan stood up and looked out the window, "Ah, it's so late, I have to go back quickly." ”

"I'll send you." Cheng Jinyang also stood up.

"No, you can stay at home with Miss Zhi." Cheng Xinnan patted him on the shoulder, then quickly changed his shoes at the door and beckoned, "See you next time!" ”

She's gone.

"Humph!" Xing Yuanzhi snorted from her nose, her pretty face was covered with frost, obviously very unhappy in her heart.

"What's wrong with you?" Cheng Jinyang asked with concern.

Miss Ah Zhi, who has always been cold, would be angry like this, which was indeed beyond his expectations.

Maybe she really doesn't get along with Sister Xinnan.

"Nothing." Xing Yuanzhi also realized that she was a little out of shape, slowly restrained her anger, regained her appearance as a fairy who did not eat the world, and pointed to the beef hot pot on the table, "You haven't eaten enough, have you?" Keep eating. ”

"Did you see that?" Cheng Jinyang asked with a smile.

"Where can't you see it?" Xing Yuanzhi sighed, "Your sister Xinnan can also see it." Otherwise, since everyone doesn't eat, she will definitely help clean up the table before leaving...... The reason why I didn't mention this is to let you continue to eat after she leaves. ”

"In that case." Cheng Jinyang put the beef into the bowl again, "Then why do you hate her so much?" ”

Why do I hate her so much? Xing Yuanzhi was slightly stunned.

Was it because she had shown undisguised malice to me?

Or is it because she called me Ah Zhi the first time we met, and she deliberately called me again before leaving?

Or is it because of her outfit that doesn't care about the decency of the family?

Maybe we are like two completely opposite extremes, completely intolerant of each other's existence......

She was thinking about it in a daze, when she heard Cheng Jinyang say with a smile:

"Hey, Zhi. You can't be eating her jealousy, right? ”

Xing Yuanzhi: ???

"First of all, as your fiancée, it's normal for me to be wary of women who come near you rashly." She said calmly, "This has nothing to do with what is jealous or not." You must know that if you finally have another heart and want to break off this marriage contract with me, then the trust relationship we have built up with each other will probably be indifferent, which will be detrimental to both of us. ”

Indeed, Cheng Jinyang nodded in agreement.

Although the most fundamental reason why the two are staying together now is based on interests, it is not good to say that interests are not good to say after all...... If you can cooperate with me purely for the sake of profit, you will surely betray me decisively for the greater good someday.

Therefore, maintaining a cohabitation relationship in the name of a marriage contract has the possibility of cultivating feelings in the future, which is undoubtedly necessary for both parties to strengthen trust at this stage - why do politicians like to marry?

"Secondly." Xing Yuanzhi continued, "If you continue to call me Ah Zhi, these hot pot soups will suddenly fly up and paste your face. ”

"I'm sorry, I'll pay attention next time." Cheng Jinyang said vaguely - because his mouth was stuffed with beef.

"Hmph." Xing Yuanzhi stood up and went back to the room alone.

Cheng Jinyang, Cheng Xinnan...... Why are these Cheng family members so hateful!
