“Water will do.”
Lu Zhen went to the water dispenser to get a cup of water. The three of them sat down to eat. Song Jia looked at the dishes on the table and tasted every dish. Then, he pointed at the pork trotters and asked Lu Zhen, “Did you make this?”
Lu Zhen widened her eyes slightly. How did Song Jia know? “l made it. What’s wrong? Is it obvious how bad it tastes?”
Song Jia shook his head. Seeing Lu Zhen looking at him curiously, he explained, “No, it tastes good, but it might be your first time cooking, so you added too many seasonings. Xiaoxiao often cooks, so the seasonings are more reasonable.’
Lu Zhen smiled in embarrassment. “It’s indeed my first time making this dish.
I’ll try my best to improve it next time.” Then, she expressed her surprise.
“You’re amazing. You can tell at once.”
Song Jia’s eyes flickered. Why could he taste it? This was because when he first started cooking, he had always been unable to grasp the ratio of seasonings and had failed many times. Therefore, during that period of time, he often ate his own dishes while analyzing the problems. As time passed, his culinary skills became better.
When Xiaoxiao heard that Lu Zhen wanted to continue improving, she was so frightened that she immediately said, “There’s no need to improve. It’s already very delicious! But your hands are not suitable for cooking. Let me do it in the future! ”
Lu Zhen’s hands still had to appear on camera and accept advertisements. If her hands were injured from cooking, Sister Ye Xuan would definitely not let her off. She still wanted to work beside Lu Zhen for a few more years.
Song Jia took two more bites of his food and couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you interested in cooking today?”
Lu Zhen put down her chopsticks and paused for two seconds before saying with a smile, “l see that everyone is not in a good mood because of me. There’s nothing 1 can do for you. Xiaoxiao is even more worried every day when she’s with me. I just want to express my gratitude.”
Xiaoxiao was stunned. The hand holding the chopsticks stopped in the air. She originally thought that Lu Zhen was only cooking because she suddenly became interested, but she did not expect Lu Zhen to want to comfort her.
Now that she thought about it, Xiaoxiao had indeed been very depressed before this meal. However, when the two of them sat at the table to eat and tasted the braised pork trotters that she had been longing for for a long time, Xiaoxiao had indeed temporarily forgotten those unhappy things.
Tears welled up in her small eyes. Everything she had done for Lu Zhen was voluntary. The company had also paid her a generous salary, but she was too happy to be taken to heart like this.
“Sister Zhenzhen, thank you. I don’t know what to say. Boohoo…” Xiaoxiao’s tears were very low. Although she tried her best to hold them back, she couldn’t hold them back. She pounced into Lu Zhen’s arms and cried.
Lu Zhen was at a loss. ‘!Aiya, Xiaoxiao, why are you crying? I only made you a dish. Girls’ tears are pearls. You can’t shed them casually.”
Xiaoxiao snuggled in Lu Zhen’s arms. “l don’t care. I’m the happiest person in the world now. These are tears of happiness.”
Lu Zhen was caught between laughter and tears. She could only hug Xiaoxiao. After almost half a minute, she realized that Song Jia was still beside her. She hurriedly whispered, “Alright, our boss is still beside us.”
Xiaoxiao immediately bounced up and sat up straight obediently. She wiped her face and smiled awkwardly at Song Jia. “I’m sorry, President Song. I was a little agitated just now.”
Song Jia was used as a background by the two of them, but he didn’t mind at all. He just smiled faintly. “It’s fine.”
After dinner, Xiaoxiao chased Lu Zhen out of the kitchen. “I’ll clean up the bowls and chopsticks. Go and accompany President Song. He’s the person who pays our salaries. You can’t neglect him.”
Lu Zhen had no choice but to return to the living room and sit on the sofa opposite Song Jia. She looked at the pile of tonics on the table and said again, “Thank you. Actually, there’s nothing wrong with my body.”
Song Jia nodded. “A girl should treat herself better.”
Lu Zhen fell silent. Wasn’t this Song Jia’s gift to her? He was clearly the one who treated her well.
Song Jia stopped talking about supplements and changed the topic. “When are you going to look for your father? Do you want me to go with you?”
Lu Zhen was about to answer when her cell phone rang. She picked up the video call and Ye Xuan, who was sitting in the office chair, appeared on the screen. “Come to the company and take a clarification video. I’ll send you the manuscript now. Try to memorize it and read it naturally.”
With that, Ye Xuan hung up..
