Xie Zhinuan thought of this and went to open the front door, only to see Yuanbao still sitting inside the shed.

She first stared in surprise, then immediately laughed out, “Yuanbao, go ask your master what he thinks about having white rice porridge and cold cucumber salad for dinner tonight?”

Upon hearing this, Yuanbao suddenly stood up, “Miss Xie…, have you figured it out?”

“Pretty much, and by the way, have those silly girls come back to me, without them, things just don’t work out here!” Xie Zhinuan said with a smile, turning around to prepare Li Hengyi’s dinner.

“Alright!” Yuanbao also sighed with relief.

Although he didn’t understand why Xie Zhinuan had suddenly seen the light, he could tell that she was in an exceptionally good mood at that moment.

Not only happy but also seemingly flirtatious.

Yuanbao joyfully went back to look for his young master. On the way, when he bumped into the silly girl, he even congratulated her, “Miss Xie wants you back, hurry and report to her!”

“…” The silly girl was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked, “Really?”

“You’ll know when you go!” After saying that, Yuanbao hurried off to find Li Hengyi.

“Master, master…”

Li Hengyi, hearing Yuanbao’s loud cries, trembled in the hand that was holding the pen, causing ink to drip from the tip and bleed into the rice paper.

His brows furrowed slightly, and it was only after Yuanbao entered cheerfully that he lifted his eyebrows to glance at him.

“Master, Miss Xie asked me to come over and ask if you’d be okay with having porridge and cold cucumber salad for dinner tonight,” Yuanbao inquired, gazing at Li Hengyi.

Li Hengyi hesitated slightly, his lifted heart finally settling down, yet his face remained indifferent as he replied, “Hmm, good.”

He gently took the rice paper, placed it aside, took a new sheet, and weighed it down before picking up the brush to resume writing.

However, compared to his previous heavy-handed strokes, his current writing flowed much more elegantly.

Knowing Li Hengyi’s habits, Yuanbao, aware that he hated being disturbed while writing, tiptoed out of the room.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

This Miss Xie, it would be better to be more polite to her in the future, after all, her temper is not a joke, and she isn’t easy to fool.

Now that this calculated matter was over, it would be better for everyone to be more sincere in their dealings in the future.

The silly girl stood at the kitchen door, watching Xie Zhinuan, who was busy at work, her eyes reddening as she called out, “Miss!”

“…” Xie Zhinuan looked back, smiling slightly at her, “You’re back, come help with the fire quickly. Aunt Chen and grandma will be back soon, and then we can make more pancakes for dinner!”

“Ah, oh, yes!” The silly girl, still stunned, said ‘yes’ three times in succession and hurried to light the fire.

Her heart was pounding, and she peeked at Xie Zhinuan several times.

Xie Zhinuan hummed a tune, moving in and out, and when Aunt Chen and Grandma Chen arrived, she called out, “Grandma, Aunt Chen, you’re back, dinner will be ready soon!”

“Miss…”

“…”

Both hesitated, wanting to say something but holding back.

Xie Zhinuan smiled slightly, “It’s all in the past now, I won’t dwell on it anymore!”

“Let’s have dinner!”

After saying this, Xie Zhinuan suddenly realized something – Routuan, who usually followed her around begging for attention, was missing.

“Where’s Routuan?” Xie Zhinuan exclaimed.

She quickly went to the backyard to look, then outside calling, “Routuan?”

No response.

“Routuan?” Xie Zhinuan called louder, yet there was still no sign of Routuan.

She knew Routuan might have run off.

But considering Routuan’s intelligence, she should be fine, which gave Xie Zhinuan some peace of mind.

Once the porridge was ready, she scooped out a portion and divided some of the prepared cold cucumbers into a basket.

Just as she was doing so, Yuanbao arrived.

As she handed the basket to Yuanbao, Xie Zhinuan said, “By the way, let me tell you that as long as I’m not too busy, I’ll cook for your master. If I’m too busy, I’ll let Aunt Chen do it. It might seem a bit lazy, but I promise, I’ll try my best to prepare every meal myself!”
