âIf thereâs nothing else, then letâs go!â Qiu Zimo stood up, his arm still around Jian Danâs waist.
When Mr. Li wanted to speak, Qiu Zimo sent him a look, âMr. Li, you got a problem with that?â
âNo~ no! I was just thinking itâs getting late, maybe you should stay for dinner before leaving!â Mr. Liâs heart was full of resentments, but his face still wore a forced smile.
âNo need, after all, Iâm not someone who just eats anyoneâs food!â Qiu Zimo, with one hand in his pocket, walked away under everyoneâs gaze, with no one daring to step forward to stop him.
âZimo, youâre really so cool! You solved todayâs issues without doing anything.â
âYou lass, why are you always such trouble?â Although he was scolding her, his tone was doting.
âHehe~ I donât know, maybe Iâm just born under an unlucky star! So even if I donât go looking for trouble, trouble comes looking for me!â Jian Dan shrugged nonchalantly.
âItâs a good thing someoneâs always looking out for you!â
âHehe~ Maybe Iâm just lucky! So Iâve met a lot of good people, like Uncle, like Zimo, you all look out for me!â
âYou lass!â
âHehe~ By the way, Zimo, you just said you donât eat just anyoneâs food, but you can eat mine, right?â
âWhat, you planning on cooking yourself?â
âNo problem!â Jian Dan responded without a second thought.
After blurting it out, she recalled Qiu Zimoâs earlier question, âZimo, what did you just say? Cook myself?â
âWhat, is there a problem?â
âNot just a problem, a huge problem! If I cook myself, weâd probably all end up in the ER.â Jian Dan gave an embarrassed smile.
Chu Liyuan walked over to Jian Dan, draping his arm around her waist, âJian Jian doesnât need to know how to cook! Iâll cook for her.â
âYeah, yeah! How about Uncle cooks and I help out, sound good?â Jian Dan thought of a compromise.
âTo avoid an emergency room visit, can I say no?â Qiu Zimo interjected.
Molly watched Qiu Zimo, who at this moment didnât seem anything like the rumors, just a gentle sister.
It seemed Jian Dan had changed not only Chu Liyuan but also Qiu Zimo!
Mollyâs impression of Jian Dan was refreshed once again in her heart.
âThen letâs go!â The group made their way back to Li Garden.
âBoss Mo, you guys go on in! Iâll stay out here,â Feng said, standing by the car.
âWhy not come in? Have you already eaten?â Jian Dan asked.@@novelbin@@
âNo, itâs justâ¦â
âIf you havenât eaten yet, then hurry in!â Jian Dan pulled Feng towards Li Garden.
Feng looked at Qiu Zimo, who nodded at her, reassuring her before she let herself be dragged into the house by Jian Dan.
âUncle, make a call to Sizhe, tell him to come over quickly, Meng Ranâs wound needs to be treated.â
âIâve already called!â
âOh!
Then take a seat! Uncle and I will go cook!â Jian Dan, holding Chu Liyuanâs hand, led him to the kitchenâ¦
However, it wasnât long before a cry came from the kitchen, âAh~â
When they arrived at the kitchen, they saw Chu Liyuan with Jian Danâs hand in his mouth, âDidnât I tell you to be careful? How did you still get hurt?â While he scolded Jian Dan verbally, his eyes were full of concern.
âI was being careful, maybe I really just donât have the knack for it!â Jian Dan looked pitifully at Chu Liyuan.
âYou two arenât planning on making all the dishes sweet tonight, are you?â Qiu Zimo crossed her arms, a smirk on her lips as she looked at the two.
âZimo? When did you guys get here?â Jian Dan awkwardly diverted her gaze.
âWeâve been here for a while, but the two of you were so focused you didnât notice!â
âThen, could you go out first? The food will be ready soon!â Jian Dan said, unable to meet their eyes out of shyness.
âYou should come out too! I donât want to be killed by sweetness of todayâs dishes!â After saying that, Qiu Zimo left the kitchen doorway.
