She was just an ugly woman.
"No way! We're brothers and you can't even bear to give me a chef? "
Shen Jianian was heartbroken.
He was good-looking and no one could bear to reject him when he was sad. However, Si Lijue was an exception. He didn't even pity a woman, much less a man. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you want to go out by yourself or do you want me to throw you out?"
"Damn it, Si Lijue, you're not a good brother!"
Shen Jianian looked a little angry.
Si Lijue didn't waste any time and said, "Looks like you're going to be thrown out, Xiang Nian!"
Xiang Nian walked over with two other people.
Shen Jianian's eyebrows twitched, and he let out a strange cry, "No way? Si Lijue, are you serious? "
Si Lijue said coldly, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who jokes?"
Shen Jianian, "…"
In the end, Shen Jianian was thrown out.
Before he was thrown out, he didn't forget to say, "Don't think that I'll give up! I'll be back! "
After Shen Jianian left, the entire house fell silent.
It was the first time Xia An 'an saw someone who didn't care about the scar on her face. She looked at the door and pondered.
That Mr. Shen was a very easy-going person.
"He's already gone. Why are you still looking?"
A cold voice came from above. Xia An 'an looked up instinctively and met a pair of dark eyes. Si Lijue looked at her coldly and said, "Do you really want to go?"
Xia An 'an blinked and took a few seconds to realize that Si Lijue was asking if she wanted to go to the Shen family.
She didn't know why, but when she met Si Lijue's eyes, she had a feeling that if she nodded and said she wanted to go, this man would kick her out of the house.
Xia An 'an immediately expressed her stance and shook her head. "No, no, no. I don't want to go."
"Your expression doesn't say that."
Xia An 'an, "…"
When did the CEO learn how to read people's faces? How could he tell what she was thinking from her expression?
She came to the Si family for him, so how could she run away just because of a few words from another man?
However, she couldn't be too direct with her words. Otherwise, it would arouse unnecessary suspicion. Just as Xia An 'an was thinking of how to explain it in a less suspicious manner, Si Lijue added, "Don't listen to that man's sweet talk. He's always been glib with women. It's common for him to abandon a woman after sleeping with her. He invited you to his house just now on a whim. Don't think that your cooking is comparable to that of a chef from a five-star hotel!"
It was Xia An 'an's first time hearing Si Lijue speak so much. She stared at him with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
Si Lijue felt uncomfortable being stared at by her. He frowned and said, "If you insist on going, I won't stop you. But let me say this first. Don't regret it if you go. You'll be crying later."
Xia An 'an was still staring at him.
Si Lijue's frown deepened. "Why are you looking at me?"
Suddenly, Xia An 'an smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir. I'm not going anywhere. The benefits given to me by the Si family are so good. I'm not stupid. Why would I believe the words of a man I've only met once? I'll stay here and cook for you. I won't leave no matter how good other people treat me! "
Thump!
Si Lijue felt his heartstrings being gently plucked.
Xia An 'an wasn't ugly. Her face was small but her features were exquisite. If one didn't look at the ugly scar on her face, she could even be considered a stunning little beauty. Her smile was very infectious and gave people a sense of joy from the bottom of their hearts.
Si Lijue looked at her smile and seemed to be dazed by it. After a while, he snapped back to his senses. He turned around and said coldly, "At least you have some brains."
With that, he left.
Xia An 'an saw that Si Lijue's attitude had become cold again and couldn't help but rub her nose. The CEO was too temperamental. She had already made it clear that she wouldn't leave. Why was he still so cold?
Fortunately, she wasn't his wife. Otherwise, she would be exhausted trying to guess his thoughts every day.
Si Lijue couldn't sleep that night.
Xia An 'an's words lingered in his mind.
"I won't go anywhere!"
"I'll stay here and cook for you."
"I won't leave no matter how good other people treat me!"
…
Si Lijue tossed and turned in bed.
He had clearly heard many of these flattering words, but why did he only feel touched by that woman's words? When he heard her promise, he even felt happy?
Damn it!
What kind of bewitching potion did that woman feed him?
She was just an ugly woman. How could she affect him to this extent?
The CEO spent the entire night in a dilemma. In the morning, he went to work with two dark circles under his eyes.
Xia An 'an thought that Shen Jianian's matter was just a small interlude and didn't take it to heart. Who knew that the man would come again the next day?
"Hi, An 'an, I'm here again."
Shen Jianian had heard of Xia An 'an's name from somewhere.
Xia An 'an was rarely addressed so intimately, so she wasn't used to it. However, Shen Jianian was obviously familiar with people. He came over and saw that Xia An was preparing dinner. He asked curiously, "An' an, what are we eating tonight?"
Xia An 'an lowered her head and answered, "Tonight, we'll be making pickled fish, dried bamboo shoots with pork, braised meatballs, and stewed chicken with snow clams."
"Wow, so sumptuous. I'll be in for a treat later."
Xia An 'an smiled.
Actually, she was very happy that someone liked the food she cooked.
Shen Jianian glanced around and volunteered, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"No need, Mr. Shen. I'll be fine by myself."
Xia An 'an declined politely.
"You don't have to be polite with me. Wouldn't it be faster if we cooked together?"
As he spoke, Shen Jianian rolled up his sleeves and asked, "What do you want to cook now?"
Xia An 'an saw that he was so excited and didn't want to be a wet blanket. She could only say, "Then can you help me peel off the skin of the dried bamboo shoots?"
"No problem."
When the meal was ready, only Shen Jianian and Si Lijue were eating.
Sitting together with an ice cube to eat, Shen Jianian felt very uncomfortable. "Eating with you is so boring."
Si Lijue's face darkened at the sudden disdain. "You can choose to leave too!"
Shen Jianian pretended not to hear him. He suddenly thought of something and said to the servant next to him, "Go and call Xia An 'an over."
"Yes."
Xia An 'an, who was about to go back to her room to rest, was called to the dining room.
Before she reached the dining table, Shen Jianian greeted her with a smile, "An 'an, come and sit with me."
Si Lijue paused.
An 'an?
Since when did the relationship between the two of them become so good?
