Sophia suddenly widened her eyes, and the fear on her face turned into deep surprise. Even though she could not see Ding Ning's figure, she firmly believed that he was indeed secretly protecting her.
An unprecedented strong sense of security surrounded her, like a bullied child seeing her parent. Big drops of tears flowed down her cheeks, but her face showed a sincere expression of joy.
No girl would not look forward to having a prince charming fall from the sky to protect her when she was most afraid. What was more, the person Luoxue talked about the most every day was him. That kind of happiness and pride from the bottom of her heart made her deeply envious.
Influenced by what she saw and heard, Sophia had long developed a hazy affection for Ding Ning. However, considering that he was Enxi's boyfriend, she buried this affection deep in her heart.
Later, when Li Enxu came to visit her, he had confessed to her that she was not the only woman Ding Ning had, but she did not care at all. Even though she did not say it explicitly, she had vaguely pointed out that Ding Ning was not an ordinary person and could not be judged by the secular standards.
At that time, Sophia was extremely shocked and did not dare to believe it. It should be known that Enxi was the most beautiful girl she had ever seen. Why did Ding Ning still change his mind after having such a beautiful Enxi, who could bring disaster to a country and people? Yet Enxi was willing to follow him without caring about her status.
Later, she began to secretly observe Ding Ning with suspicion. One beautiful woman after another gradually appeared in her sight. Even though they looked normal on the surface, with a woman's intuition, she could feel that the relationship between these women and Ding Ning was definitely not normal.
Even his nominal sister Luoxue seemed to have an extraordinarily ambiguous relationship with him. This guy did not just have a foot in two boats, he had a foot in countless boats.
But what made her feel perplexed and confused was that she clearly hated this kind of scum the most. Otherwise, she would not have broken up with him because Luffy had cheated on her.
But strangely, for some reason, she could not feel disgusted with Ding Ning. Even after knowing that he was a womanizer, she felt a trace of inexplicable joy. It seemed that she might have a chance to be with him.
This thought made her feel very ashamed, but she still could not suppress the rising affection in her heart. She quietly observed him and adored him.
Unfortunately, Ding Ning rarely appeared. Even when he occasionally appeared, he was accompanied by all kinds of beautiful women who made her feel ashamed of her inferiority. So, she could only bury her affection in the deepest part of her heart.
But affection was like wine. The longer it was brewed, the stronger it was. Countless nights, she tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, and he would even appear in her dreams.
If it were not for the spiritual fruit wine's effect of nourishing the mind and strengthening the body, she would most likely not be able to complete the high-intensity daily cooking task.
No girl would not yearn for a prince charming to appear out of nowhere and save them when they were in danger. Moreover, she had feelings for Ding Ning. Thus, at this moment, Sofia's fear was instantly swept away by Ding Ning's appearance.
Even though she knew that Ding Ning might not secretly protect her because of love, the feeling of being valued and cherished made her heart surrounded by a strong sense of happiness. It was as sweet as eating honey.
There must be one or more men standing behind a successful woman. This saying was not unreasonable. After all, women were more emotional. No matter how strong a woman was, she would need a pair of strong arms to rely on.
At this moment, Sophia was no exception. Knowing that Ding Ning was here to protect her, she was immediately filled with confidence and courage. Wiping her tears, she looked back at Millie Snow stubbornly and bravely. According to Ding Ning's instructions, she said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "I know what you're thinking. For the sake of Jorgensen, I can also be the middleman. But I have to tell you that it's impossible for you to poach my master to be a private chef."
Seeing that Sophia had suddenly become so powerful, Millie Snow was a little absent-minded. She recalled the chill that had flashed by just now, and her hair stood on end. Could it be that she had been contaminated by something unclean?
"Sophia, don't blame Millie Snow. She is my elder sister, and she is used to being powerful. She didn't mean to target you."
Seeing that his elder sister didn't speak, Jorgensen explained with an apologetic tone. Sophia was one of his few friends of the opposite sex at school, and he still valued her a lot. He didn't want any unpleasantness between her and his elder sister.
"Jorgensen, I understand. She is the eldest daughter of the Rothschild Family. It's normal for her to have a temper."
Sophia said with a teasing tone, but the shock in her eyes disappeared in a flash.
If Ding Ning hadn't told her the real identity of Jorgensen and his sister, she wouldn't have believed that Jorgensen, who had always been low-key at school, was the young master of the Rothschild Family.
Millie Snow was surprised. Although she had given Sophia her business card, it only had her name and contact number on it. It didn't show her family identity. How did Sophia know that?
Compared to Millie Snow, Jorgensen was a little embarrassed. He scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and said with a hollow laugh, "It's not that I want to hide it, but … to avoid trouble. You should be able to understand."
"Okay, you don't need to explain. I understand."
Sofia had already recovered from her shock and spoke in a considerate manner.
However, she secretly mocked herself. She was really making a fuss about nothing. It was just the Rothschild Family. What was so great about it? They were still eager to poach Luoxue to be their private chef.
Besides, no matter how rich the Rothschild Family was, could they cure Enxi's birthmark, which had left all the plastic experts helpless? Could they get deep-sea ingredients that even the most advanced technology in the world couldn't catch? Could they get a transmission matrix that could allow them to travel thousands of miles in an instant? Could they get a Storage Ring that didn't require much effort to buy vegetables?
The more Sophia thought about it, the more confident she became. The more she thought about it, the more proud she felt. She felt lucky that she had always been kind to others. After seeing Enxi's frightening face, she did not despise her and even became her best friend. Otherwise, she would not have had the chance to know Ding Ning, nor would she have had the chance to enter the pavilion in the air to learn cooking from Luoxue, nor would she have had the chance to change her fate and change her ordinary life into something colorful.
"Since Miss Sophia knows our identity and is willing to be a matchmaker, I will remember this favor. If you need any help in the future, you can call me at any time."
Millie Snow didn't know that Sophia had been frightened before, so she didn't know that her strong attitude had aroused the fear in Sophia's heart. Seeing that Sophia was willing to help, her tone became much more relaxed.
Although Sophia firmly believed that her meeting with Luoxue would be of no use, Millie Snow didn't think so. She was full of confidence and believed that after her family realized the importance of the Goddess of Cooking, they would strongly support her idea. If 10 million Mi was not enough, then 100 million Mi was not enough. If 100 million Mi was not enough, then 1 billion Mi was not enough. If 1 billion Mi was not enough, then 10 billion Mi was not enough.
Her family lacked everything but money. Especially in the investment of talents, they spared no effort and were extremely far-sighted.
As long as the feasibility report of her catering project came out and the family evaluated and confirmed its feasibility, she believed that the family would be willing to pay any price.
In Millie Snow's eyes, a female God of Cooking who could create miracles in the food and beverage industry was far more valuable than just ten billion Mi dollars. She was determined to get the female God of Cooking this time. "Since you insist, I will arrange it as soon as possible."
Although Sophia didn't know what Ding Ning was planning, after getting his permission, she could only pretend to agree reluctantly.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Sophia. I won't mistreat those who have helped me."
Millie Snow hinted again. Although Sophia was not the Goddess of Cooking, she decided to maintain a good relationship with her. Not to mention that Sophia was her brother's classmate, she couldn't look down on Sophia because she was the apprentice of the Goddess of Cooking.
Once the hostile atmosphere was gone, the smell of gunpowder also disappeared. Although Sophia was shocked by Qiao Gensen's identity, she didn't have any intention to curry favor with him. As usual, she talked and laughed with Qiao Gensen about the interesting things that happened in the school, just like when they were at school.
Her attitude, which was neither servile nor overbearing and didn't change after knowing Qiao Gensen's identity, made Millie Snow think more highly of her.
"Ding Ning, accompany me upstairs, okay? I … I'm a little scared. "
Downstairs of the Jinding Building, after watching Qiao Gensen and his brother leave, Sophia looked at the dark building and couldn't help shivering, begging timidly.
"All right."
Ding Ning looked at the time and found that it was already early in the morning. Although the lights were still on in the pavilion in the air, it was already empty. Thinking of Sophia, a weak girl who had been frightened today, he couldn't help but feel pity for her, so he agreed without hesitation.
Sophia, who was terrified of Li Jingcheng's brutal beating, did not show any fear when she saw Ding Ning appear out of thin air. Her beautiful eyes looked curiously at Ding Ning, her gaze filled with undisguised adoration and adoration.
Ding Ning's heart skipped a beat. "Why is this girl looking at me like this? Does she like me?"
"Let's go. I'll accompany you upstairs."
Putting aside those messy thoughts, Ding Ning said gently.
"Can … can I hold your arm?"
Sophia's pretty face was slightly red, and she pursed her pink lips to ask for his opinion in a low voice.
Sofia, who had always been candid and generous, actually showed the shyness of a little girl, which surprised Ding Ning. But when he thought that she had been frightened tonight, he understood. This girl had been suppressing the fear in her heart, and at this moment, her legs and feet were probably weak.
"Of course you can. If your legs are soft, I can carry you up."
Ding Ning habitually said in a flirtatious tone.
"Then … then carry me up. My legs are still soft."
Sophia lowered her head shyly, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzzing.
Ding Ning was stunned, and his heart couldn't help beating faster. "Is this … some kind of hint?"
In all honesty, he really didn't have any wicked thoughts. He just teased her to ease her nervousness.
But he didn't expect that Sophia would act so unconventionally. Even a girl didn't care. As a man, why should he care?
Immediately, he chuckled and bent down to hold Sophia's legs. He carried her up in a princess carry and strode to the elevator.
Since the blunder incident last time, the security guard on duty had already remembered Ding Ning's appearance. He was no stranger to Sophia, the second head chef. Seeing that Ding Ning came in with Sophia in his arms in the middle of the night, he not only didn't stop him, but also smiled ambiguously.
Even though Ding Ning was thick-skinned enough, he still blushed under the security guard's ambiguous gaze. He tried to cover it up, but it only made it worse. He coughed and explained, "Sophia sprained her leg. I'm sending her back."
