Zhong Luozhan was speechless. He was thankful that Xia Xiaomin didn't anger him, but he still promised her, "Alright, I understand. I will treat her well." Grandmother has to take care of her own body too, I... "Xia Xiaomin and I will be back soon."

He wanted to say that he would go back and visit his grandma, but after hesitating for a moment, he decided to add Xia Xiaomin to the group.

"Oh yeah, I left a gift for Xiao Min in her room. Tell her when she comes back." With that, Grandma left with Laifu.

"What's wrong?" Zhong Luozheng leaned against the door frame, looking at Xia Xiaomin who was hugging a box on the ground with tears streaming down her face.

Xia Xiaomin quickly wiped her face a few times and put the things in the box, muttering, "Grandma's so bad. She obviously dotes on me, but she never tells me when she leaves." I'd rather not have Grandmother's gift, I just want to say goodbye. "

Her words were full of grievance, causing Zhong Luochen's heart to throb.

Xia Xiaomin, should I believe you?

Despite his uncertainty, Zhong Luozhan walked up to Xia Xiaomin and knocked on her head. "What are you talking about? It's not like Grandmother won't be coming." he said unhappily.

"Yes." "When Grandmother comes next time, I must make Grandmother some delicious food." Xia Xiaomin smiled through her tears.

Zhong Luozhan lowered his head. Seeing her serious face, he wanted to tease her again, "With your cooking skills, what good food can you make for Grandmother?"

"That's because you don't like it. Grandmother has always praised my culinary skills are excellent."

Actually, Xia Xiaomin wanted to say, Zhong Luozheng, you're the one who doesn't know what's good for you! Hmph, just you wait. When Harl loses a chef with potential like me, what will you do?

Of course, she only dared to think of these words. She was afraid that if she said them, she would be kicked out.

"Is that so?" Zhong Luozhan raised his eyebrows as he fiddled with the gift his grandma had given him. His eyes sparkled as he turned around and said, "Then I'll give you another chance. Let's see if you can satisfy me with tonight's dinner."

Xia Xiaomin said confidently, "Don't worry, I'll definitely be able to satisfy you."

His grandma had told him about Zhong Luozheng's preferences. Although she wasn't going to pin him down with delicious food, he had to at least hear the word "good" coming out of her mouth no matter what.

Zhong Luozhan's complexion softened. He turned around and walked out of the room to his study.

Today's board of directors was very successful, except for Zhong Luozhan, who wore sunglasses and dressed in a cool outfit for the whole day.

Even the usually cold Yun Xiang had nearly lost his job when he saw his panda eyes. However, since it was given to him by Xia Xiaomin, Zhong Luozheng could only grit his teeth and swallow it down to try the taste.

Xia Xiaomin was busy in the kitchen for a while, carrying her masterpiece on the table. Then she ran to the door of the study and knocked.

No one replied. Xia Xiaomin thought Zhong Luozheng was not inside, but just as she was about to leave, she heard his voice.

"Investigate this again."

So it was inside. Xiao Min smiled and knocked on the door again. This time, she finally heard him call out to her.

Zhong Luozhan frowned when he saw that it was her, almost indiscernible. He then coldly asked, "What's wrong?"

"You can eat now."

Xia Xiaomin didn't notice Zhong Luozheng's bad expression. She was really looking forward to him tasting her culinary skills.

Even though he was a bit annoyed, Zhong Luozhan didn't want to ruin her mood. He quickly adjusted his mood, got up, and left the study.

Looking at the table full of his favorite dishes, Zhong Luozheng knew his grandma had already told her everything.

It seemed that the two of them had formed an unbreakable united front.

Usually, when Xia Xiaomin cooked for him, she would be reluctant to do anything. Why was she so agitated today?

Zhong Luozhan suddenly thought of the noodles he had buried in the chili concoction last time. Was there a problem with the dish?

"Hurry up and eat." Xia Xiaomin said expectantly.

Zhong Luozhang was like a monk in meditation. He stared at the dish and analyzed it for a long time before coming to a conclusion: Xia Xiaomin was too abnormal, there must be something wrong with the dish!

Xia Xiaomin didn't know that Zhong Luozheng had so many playthings. Seeing that he wasn't going to eat them, she became anxious. "Didn't you say you were going to give him a chance?" Why aren't you eating at all? "

"You …" Zhong Luozheng asked in a probing manner, "You didn't put any strange seasonings in the dish, did you?"

"Nope." Xia Xiaomin looked innocent.

"Then... "There's nothing new?"

"I just bought them today." Xia Xiaomin thought for a moment before realizing something. She pouted and said, "You're too small, aren't you? "I already know that you were playing with me before, but you did give me this job after all. Besides, grandma treats me so well, so I can't do anything to you for grandma's sake."

Thinking about how petty he was in her heart, Xia Xiaomin's enthusiasm was instantly extinguished. She probably wouldn't be happy even if Zhong Luozheng said she cooked well later.

"Yes." Zhong Luozhan nodded, picked up a piece of Red Braised Meat, chewed it a few times, and then spat it out. "It's not hot enough."

He picked up another gold medal with his elbow, "This smell is too strong."

"I can barely make it, but it should be even more delicious."

Xia Xiaomin finally saw through it. She was overthinking everything. This fellow, how could he say something nice when his mouth was extremely tight-lipped?

"Don't eat if it's not good." Xia Xiaomin was about to move to clean up the mess, but Zhong Luozhuang stopped her.

She angrily asked, "It's not that it doesn't taste good?"

Zhong Luozhan pulled her back to her seat, took another bite to eat, then said, "It's not good, and you can't waste it."

He told her it was a waste? Xia Xiaomin was speechless again. Who was it that poured out all the dishes she cooked? Wasting it now? However, looking at the way he ate, did it really taste bad?

As she thought about it, Xia Xiaomin also took a bite, feeling that the food was delicious.

Zhong Luozheng's taste buds must be broken.

What Xia Xiaomin didn't know was that Zhong Luozhuang was a famous gourmet of the Gourmet Class, and also the most difficult judge to invite to the International Chef Competition.

Every word of his was worth a thousand gold. However, he was generous enough to give Xia Xiaomin a few pointers.

"..."

A limited-edition black Bentley was driving slowly on the road where the light was not very good. The speed of the car was very slow, causing passersby to turn their heads.

A car worth 5 million RMB was used to crush the road, this kind of ostentatious and ostentatious car was way too much!

Ye Zichen looked at the front of the car. The two of them were walking at a moderate pace, clearly not having any sense of being the center of attention at all.

These two people were Zhong Luozhuang and Xia Xiaomin.

After the two of them had dinner, Zhong Luozheng originally wanted to return to the study, but Xia Xiaomin said that she wanted to go out for a walk after eating her fill. Zhong Luozheng followed him out as his brain got fired up for a moment.

Xia Xiaomin was in a good mood. Her arms shook as she looked around, trying to discern the location of the villa. Zhong Luozhan walked beside her with his hands in his pockets.

Every time he looked down and saw her, he would either have an unguarded, foolish look, or a battle-ready state. Zhong Luozheng couldn't help but chuckle.

"What are you laughing at?" Xia Xiaomin instinctively thought he was mocking her for not finding the right direction, so she rolled her eyes at him.

It wasn't clear whether it was because she was embarrassed or because of his words, "Our villa", Xia Xiaomin's face turned red from embarrassment, and her heart jumped with joy.

Looking at her face that had suddenly become bright and beautiful, Zhong Luozhuang thought to himself, This girl is really easy to coax.

After going to the supermarket to buy a bunch of useless things, Zhong Luozhan picked up two bags of potato chips and helplessly asked, "Can't you eat something nutritious?"

"But, the potato chips are delicious!" Xia Xiaomin answered without a second thought. She watched him put the potato chips, jelly, and soft candy back on the shelf and held his hand. "What are you doing?!"

"Trash food, you're not allowed to eat it!" Zhong Luozheng had always been a bit picky about his food. He always kept his distance from this kind of food.

Xia Xiaomin wanted to say something, but retracted her hand as Zhong Luozheng glared at her. She waited for him to turn around before stuffing the food into the cart with all her might.

At most, she would pay for herself, you stingy bastard!

The two of them returned to the shelf, and one of them secretly took it. When they paid the bill, Xia Xiaomin took two packets of chips, two jellyfish, and some plums as she wished.

Zhong Luozhan swept his eyes over the items in the shopping cart. This girl was getting more and more out of hand, and he was becoming less and less of a threat to her!

Although he had no other choice, Zhong Luozheng didn't say anything and just turned his face away.

Seeing Zhong Luozhan's face so dark that it looked like coal, Xia Xiaomin asked tentatively, "How about …" I'll pay for these snacks? "

With these words, Zhong Luochen's face turned even darker!

Did she think he cared about the money? He really had no conscience!

Zhong Luozhan's low pressure made the young miss, who had an expression of infatuation, rein in quite a bit. She sneakily glanced at the cold man in front of her, while her underlings moved even faster.

"A thousand and one." The cashier said carefully.

Zhong Luochen took out a card and quickly paid the bill. Then, he walked ahead of the crowd.

The camper looked at Xia Xiaomin with sympathy as she carried the two bags behind her. He didn't know how to react. Sure enough, the world depended on one's face!

Seeing the two of them, Wu Bo rushed forward to carry Xia Xiaomin's bag.

"Uncle Wu, it's okay, it's not heavy." Xia Xiaomin said with a smile, but her hand did not hesitate to pass the bag to Wu Bo.

Zhong Luozhan, who was walking in front, turned his head and saw this scene. His frozen face finally melted a little.

This girl had eaten a lot of nutritious food at his house and her IQ had finally risen to its normal level. Now she knew to find someone to help her.

Congratulations!

"Are we going back?" Zhong Luochen looked at the car and asked Xia Xiaomin.

Xia Xiaomin shook her head. She had already left when she arrived. She didn't want to torture her little feet anymore.

Zhong Luozhan didn't object. He was here to accompany her anyway, so when he saw that she wanted to take the bus back, he told Wu Bo to bring the car over.

Seeing that Wu Bo was about to leave, Xia Xiaomin quickly grabbed a packet of tomato potato chips from inside, opened the package with a smile, and started eating.

"Xia Xiaomin, you're the reincarnation of a hungry ghost!" Zhong Luozhan couldn't help but furrow his brows. Was he in such a hurry to eat something on the main road?

Xia Xiaomin wasn't so particular. "I'm hungry. We've walked so far, aren't you hungry?"
