They got out of the car, and the Family Huo's chauffeur brought the things in the trunk upstairs.
Shuxin opened the door with the key and heard Yao Huiqin instruct the chauffeur, "You can go back. Don't wait for us." The chauffeur paused for a moment. If the chauffeur went back, how would Yao Huiqin and Huo Yanqing go back?
However, this thought only flashed through Shuxin's mind. She was worrying too much because someone would pick up their phone call.
Shuxin carried the ingredients into the house and said, "You can sit in the living room first. I'll make tea for you in the kitchen."
Shuxin came out of the kitchen with two cups of tea and placed them on the coffee table in the living room. "Help yourselves. I'm going to cook."
"Do you need my help?" Yao Huiqin asked.
Shuxin smiled and shook her head. "No need."
Shuxin went into the kitchen and cooked the rice first. Then, she began to wash and cut the vegetables.
"Will it be tiring?"
Shu Xin heard the sound and turned around. She did not know when Huo Yanqing had arrived at the entrance of the kitchen. His slender body was leaning against the door frame leisurely. She did not know when the top two buttons of his collar had been unbuttoned, revealing the smooth lines of his neck and a small section of his sexy collarbone.
His sleeves were casually rolled up to his elbows, revealing his strong and toned forearms. His hands were in his trouser pockets, and he exuded the casual nature of a family man and the steadiness of a mature man.
Even though it was just a glance, Shuxin's heart was beating wildly. She hurriedly looked away. "No, where's Auntie Yao? Why aren't you with her?"
"She said to look around."
"Oh." Shuxin placed the cut vegetables on a plate. "Go sit down. The kitchen smells of oil and smoke."
"It's okay. I want to talk to you for a while."
"… Oh."
Huo Yanqing was silent for a few seconds before asking, "Why do you know how to cook?"
Huo Yanqing had wanted to ask this question since last time.
Shuxin was the daughter of the Shu Youkang family and the apple of Shu Youkang's eye. Logically speaking, she should not have done any household chores. However, not only did she know how to cook, but her culinary skills were also quite good. This was somewhat illogical.
Shuxin paused in the middle of cutting the vegetables, and then the corners of her mouth curved into a faint self-deprecating smile. "To capture a man's heart."
In order to capture a man's heart, one must first capture a man's stomach.
In her previous life, Shuxin used this sentence to ask her to practice her culinary skills. Her goal was to capture Xiao Ruize's heart.
Ha!
For the sake of a man who had hooked up with her sister to obtain her heart, she had actually put in so much effort. Now that he thought about it, it was really ironic.
Huo Yanqing frowned and asked in a low voice, "Your ex-boyfriend?"
"… Yeah."
The creases between Huo Yanqing's brows deepened. He remembered that Shuxin had once said that she was learning massage for her ex-boyfriend. "Do you love him a lot?"
Shuxin was stunned for a moment when she heard this question. Then, the corners of her mouth curled up even more mockingly. "That's all in the past."
This time, Huo Yanqing did not speak for a long time. Shuxin thought that he had left, so she turned to look at the door. He was still leaning there with his brows furrowed. She did not know what he was thinking. After a long time, he said, "I like western food."
"Huh?" Shuxin did not understand why Huo Yanqing suddenly said this.
"Do you know how to cook?"
"I don't." In her previous life, she and Xiao Ruize didn't live a rich life. In order to let Xiao Ruize wear better clothes, she couldn't even bear to buy clothes for herself. She was also very frugal. How could she bear to buy expensive ingredients like western food? She couldn't afford it.
