It seemed as if Xu Kun knew what she was struggling with, and he casually said, "Just give me the address, I’ll buy it and deliver it to you!"

"Is that okay? You must be busy with work, right?" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Xu Kun replied, "It still takes time to pick you up and take you out to eat, it won’t make much difference."

"Alright then, my home is at..."

An hour and a half later, Xu Kun’s call came through. Hanging up, she ran lightly to the door.

He handed her a large box, "Don’t eat too much of this tonight, it’ll make you gain weight."

"Are you concerned about me?"

"No."

"Alright, thank you for running all the way out here to deliver food. How about finding a place to have some tea?"

Xu Kun said, "No need, I have things to do, I’ll leave now."

He still had to go back to handle work, and a pile of documents awaited him.

"Okay then, I’ll treat you to a meal when there’s a chance!"

Watching his car disappear from sight, Xia Yuan then carried the heavy food into the house. As the door closed, a silhouette emerged at the end of the hallway...

...

For several consecutive days, Gong Shaoyu kept coming over to watch Beichen Rui cook, always standing behind him, just a turn away to see him.

Regarding this, Beichen Rui was also speechless...

Clearing his throat, he said, "Just watching isn’t helpful, you need to get hands-on!"

"Oh!" Like a student eager to learn, he seriously noted his words.

In the living room, Lan Shan looked at Gong Shaoyu in the kitchen, appearing earnest in wanting to learn, and smiled slightly, "I never thought the two who were quite hostile before would have a day to speak peacefully!"

"I didn’t expect it either. Back when Beichen Rui was learning to cook, I always thought it was Tong Ma doing it, only to find out later it was him... But listening to Tong Ma, he made a complete mess of the kitchen when he first started learning!"

"I guess if Shaoyu learns, it’ll be quite challenging too!"

The two chatted casually, still dined here before leaving.

The next day, Ye Xinluo was watching TV when the doorbell rang outside. She thought Shanshan had arrived, turned to look, only to realize it wasn’t...

Tong Ma led someone in, and Ye Xinluo saw it was Ling Haoyu and his mother.

She smiled and greeted, "Brother Ling, Auntie, you’re here, please come in and sit."

Zhang Minyi paused for a moment. Hearing this still felt very unnatural, her heart ached like being pricked by needles...

She forced a bitter smile, "We came over, hope we’re not disturbing your rest?"

They had wanted to come over and see her for a long time, yet feared she’d suspect something, so suppressed the urge.

"Of course not, I’m glad to have someone to talk to. How could it be disturbing?"

"That’s good..."

Worried about being bothersome or causing her distress...

Ling Haoyu watched the two getting along so harmoniously, couldn’t help but wonder, if Xinluo knew the truth later, would she find it hard to accept.

In her heart, she seemed quite resistant to her family.

Beichen Rui was upstairs in the study, the sound of knocking came, he looked up, "Come in."

Ling Haoyu pushed the door open and entered, seeing no look of surprise from him, lightly raised an eyebrow, "How’s Xinluo’s condition recently?"

"Pretty good."

"I’m curious, why did you agree to let us be around Xinluo often, wasn’t it said she shouldn’t be startled now?"
