I dug out the induction cooker and hot pot utensils from the cabinet, as well as the sealed cans containing the soup base. Fortunately, the shelf life had not expired.

Over there, Cheng Xinnan had already washed the meat and put it on the plate, and finished cutting the bamboo shoots, tofu and cabbage he brought. He took the hot pot from him and washed it under the tap.

The next step is to collect the water, put the induction cooker on the dining table, throw the hot pot base into it, and heat it up.

The three of them sat around the dining table, watching the base melt in the water, gradually turning into a light golden color like chicken soup, and small bubbles popping out.

"By the way, Sister Xinnan." Cheng Jinyang tried to find a topic, "Have you heard about the attack on Zhongshan South Road today?"

"Hmm." Cheng Xinnan was still staring at the bubbling noodle soup, as if checking whether the water had boiled. "I heard that a notice of closure has been issued to Liumen, saying that it was a refugee crossing the river who did it."

“How is that possible?”

She stood up and went to the kitchen to get a small plate with sauce: "What sauce do you want?"

"I want the beef tendon bibimbap sauce in the refrigerator." Cheng Jinyang said.

"Thank you, just seafood soy sauce." Cheng Xinnan's taste was surprisingly simple.

Xing Yunzhi came back with a plate, and the hot pot was already rolling.

Cheng Jinyang couldn't wait to get into her.

"The Cheng family will worship their ancestors next Wednesday." Cheng Xinnan suddenly said, "Jinyang, will you go back with me?"

Cheng Jinyang was stunned for a moment and turned his gaze to Xing Yunzhi.

"You have decided for yourself, why do you want to see me?" Xing Yunzhi asked inexplicably.

That's right, even if she disagrees, she can't tell me to refuse in front of Sister Xinnan. Cheng Jinyang thought to himself.

But judging from Ah Zhi's angry attitude, it was obvious that she didn't want me to go. As I said before, the Cheng family's attitude towards me in the capital city has been unclear for a long time. It would be too passive to just go back like this. What if something happens?

matter……

"Sister Xinnan, let's not talk about this for now, the meat is getting old." He smiled and picked up the serving chopsticks and picked up the meat for Cheng Xinnan, then Xing Yuanzhi, and finally himself.

"Well, think about it first and give me a reply next Tuesday at the latest." Cheng Xinnan understood what he meant instantly, so she cleverly gave him a step up.

The three of them began to eat meat. Xing Yunzhi's movements were slow and elegant; Cheng Xinnan's movements were similar, but the chopsticks were taken down faster - these two people had obviously been trained in corresponding etiquette.

As for Cheng Jinyang, he was much more rude in this regard. But fortunately, the two girls next to him were a fiancée and a cousin, and they were not outsiders, so he put aside his pretense and let himself eat.

Xing Yuanzhi ate about a small bowl and then silently put down her chopsticks. She didn't eat much, and it was already night and she would have nightmares later, so she didn't plan to eat too much.

Cheng Xinnan was full after eating more than half a bowl, and then he kept adding meat, and then put it into Cheng Jinyang's bowl with a smile.

Xing Yunzhi's eyelids jumped when she saw this: I'm still sitting here! You siblings actually show off your affection in front of me, my fiancée?

"Sister Xinnan, I'm full." Seeing Ah Zhi's cold expression, Cheng Jinyang quickly declined his cousin's kindness with a smile.

"You have such an appetite." Cheng Xinnan put down his chopsticks and said with a smile, "My Ayan is three years younger than you. I can eat at least three large bowls of this kind of hot-boiled beef."

"My Jinyang family doesn't eat much." Xing Yunzhi echoed from the side.

"The appetite is not big", which means "you are not allowed to eat anymore". Naturally, he knew the implication of Ah Zhi's words. Therefore, Cheng Jinyang pretended to touch his belly, smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "I really can't eat anymore."

.”

"Okay then." Cheng Xinnan stood up and looked out the window, "Ah, it's so late, I have to go back quickly."

"I'll see you off." Cheng Jinyang also stood up.

"No, you stay at home with Miss Azhi." Cheng Xinnan patted his shoulder, then quickly put on his shoes at the door and waved, "See you next time!"

She's gone.

"Hmph!" Xing Yunzhi snorted from her nose, her pretty face covered with frost, and she was obviously feeling very unhappy.

"What's wrong with you?" Cheng Jinyang asked with concern.

It was indeed beyond his expectation that Miss Azhi, who had always been cold and cold, would be so angry.

Maybe she really doesn't get along with Sister Xinnan.

"It's nothing." Xing Yunzhi also realized that she had lost her composure, and slowly calmed down her anger, regained her fairy-like appearance, and pointed to the beef hot pot on the table, "You are not full, are you? Continue.

Eat."

"Have you noticed?" Cheng Jinyang asked with a smile.

"How can you not tell?"

You mean to continue eating after she leaves."

"In that case." Cheng Jinyang put beef into the bowl again, "Then why do you hate her so much?"

Why do I hate her so much? Xing Yunzhi was slightly startled.

Is it because she has shown undisguised malice towards me?

Or is it because she called me Azhi when we first met, and she called me again on purpose before leaving just now?

Or is it because of her outfit that completely disregards the dignity of the family?

Yes, maybe we are like two completely opposite extremes and cannot tolerate each other's existence at all...

She was thinking blankly when she heard Cheng Jinyang say with a smile:

"Hey, Ah Zhi. Are you jealous of her?"

Xing Yuanzhi:???

"First of all, as your fiancée, it is normal for me to be wary of women who approach you rashly." She said calmly and calmly, "This has nothing to do with whether you are jealous or not. You must know that if you end up feeling jealous,

If you want to terminate this engagement with me, then the trusting relationship we have finally established with each other will probably disappear, which will be detrimental to both of us."

Indeed, Cheng Jinyang nodded in agreement.

Although the most fundamental reason why the two of them stay together now is based on interests, it doesn't sound good to say it after all... If you can cooperate with me purely for interests, one day in the future, you will definitely do it for greater interests.

Decisively sell me out.

Therefore, by maintaining a cohabitation relationship in the name of a marriage contract, it is possible to develop feelings in the future, which is undoubtedly necessary to strengthen trust between both parties at this stage - otherwise why do politicians like to marry?

"Secondly." Xing Yunzhi continued, "If you continue to call me Azhi, the hot pot soup will suddenly fly up and smear your face."

"Sorry, I will pay attention next time." Cheng Jinyang said vaguely - because his mouth was full of beef.

"Humph." Xing Yunzhi stood up and went back to the room alone.
