While cooking, Shen Lin showed off his cooking skills. Indeed, as he said, he can cook.
After Ye Xinning finished cooking the dishes he was responsible for, he stood next to Shen Lin and watched him cook.
His movements were very skillful, and Ye Xinning couldn't help but say, "When you were learning to cook, did you have any accidents?"
Shen Lin looked at her puzzledly, "What surprises could come from cooking?"
Ye Xinning, "..."
It seems to make some sense.
So, doesn’t everyone who learns to cook know how to cook the kitchen?
She lowered her head in thought, and Shen Lin turned back to look at her, "So, what did you do when you were cooking?"
"It's nothing. It's just that when I was abroad, I almost burned down the whole place where I lived."
She said it lightly, but thinking about the scene that happened at that time, she felt that she really had no talent for cooking.
When she first learned to cook, she burned the pot. When she tried to cook for the second time, she not only burned down the kitchen, she almost burned down the apartment where she lived.
Shen Lin frowned, it was extremely unbelievable that she could do such a thing.
"What happened next? How did you learn it later?"
"That's how I learned it. Because I live alone, if I didn't learn to cook, I would always order takeout. I don't like the smell outside, so I gradually learned to cook some simple dishes. Later, The craftsmanship is getting better and better.”
Regarding her past abroad, Shen Lin had never asked her in depth. Now when he heard her say, he just felt inexplicable, "You are the eldest lady of the Ye family, why don't you hire a servant?"
Ye Xinning lowered her head and played with the bracelet on her hand. This was already a subconscious action on her part. "At that time, my relationship with my mother was very bad. It was just out of anger. I didn't ask for any material help from her, and she was cruel. Regardless of whether you care about me or not, that period can be said to be the worst period of my life, of course, only financially."
Shen Lin asked again, "Why are you and mom so angry?"
Because she didn't want to leave Nancheng, because she didn't accept Huo Qijun.
Ye Xinning did not tell Shen Lin these words. All in all, it was just that she was worried about her parents' separation, and it was not a very special reason.
"It's just a tantrum."
She thought for a while and answered this way.
"Then what happened later? Since it was just out of anger, why did you agree to marry me?"
"Because I like you."
"The coffee shop is the first time I met you." Shen Lin said word by word.
Ye Xinning knew she would say that. No matter how much time passed, Shen Lin would not believe it. But thinking from Shen Lin's perspective, the day of the blind date in the coffee shop was indeed the first time they met.
"Look, you don't believe me even if I say it. It's okay. If you don't believe it, just don't believe it. Just think that I have always had a crush on you and admired Mr. Shen's name. So when my family mentioned the marriage, I agreed without even thinking about it. Already."
Shen Lin still had doubts about what she said. Ye Xinning didn't want to continue this topic. She turned her eyes to the shrimps in Shen Lin's pot, "It should be almost done."
Shen Lin looked away and said, "You can get ready to eat."
"Um."
…
Ye Xinning and Shen Lin sat at the dining table together.
She took a bite of Shen Lin's cooking with her chopsticks and it tasted delicious!
She did not hesitate to praise, "It's delicious."
"Like it?"
"Like it."
Ye Xinning tried another dish, and it was still very delicious. She raised her lips and said with a smile, "So, can Mr. Shen cook more in the future?"
"Can't."
Ye Xinning, "..."
Rejecting without thinking is indeed Shen Lin's style.
She curled her lips and lowered her voice, "This talent in cooking is wasted."
"I'm very busy. There are many things in the company that you can do once in a while, but you can't do them every day." Seeing that she didn't seem very interested, Shen Lin explained, holding his forehead.
"I know." Of course Ye Xinning knows that he has a lot of things to do every day, "I'm just saying casually, don't I know how busy you are? But the food you cook is really delicious."
She praised again, and Shen Lin smiled at the corners of his eyes and brows, "Then I'll let the chef learn and cook it for you in the future."
"Um."
Ye Xinning responded, but in fact she didn't know whether she liked the person who cooked the food or the taste of the food.
But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that she likes getting along with Shen Lin very much now.
…
After dinner, Ye Xinning and Shen Lin were sitting on the sofa. Shen Lin was on the phone. He didn't know who was on the other side of the phone. He only heard Shen Lin speaking fluent French. Ye Xinning guessed which French-speaking country was cooperating with him. partner.
She did not disturb Shen Lin, and took her notebook to deal with the relevant materials on Grandma Yang's case.
Halfway through, she felt very thirsty and called Aunt Ning over.
"What do you need, madam?"
"I want to drink something cold. Aunt Ning, please help me get a glass of ice water."
Aunt Ning nodded and turned to leave.
"Wait."
Shen Lin suddenly spoke, French changed to Chinese.
Ye Xinning cast a confused look at him.
"Pour her a glass of hot milk or warm water."
Ye Xinning reminded him, "I want to drink ice."
"Don't you know how painful it is during your menstrual period? Do you still need to drink iced drinks on a cold day? Aunt Ning, just give her a glass of warm water."
After Shen Lin finished speaking domineeringly, he continued to talk to the person on the phone, switching back to French.
Ye Xinning, "..."
She puffed out her cheeks, feeling a little depressed.
Aunt Ning said with a smile, "Sir, he also cares about his wife. Let me go and get her a glass of warm water. It's cold now, but when it gets hot next year and she wants a cold drink, I'll make it for her."
Aunt Ning left, Ye Xinning looked at Shen Lin resentfully, and Shen Lin ignored her.
Ye Xinning's idea of drinking a cold drink could only be given up.
Aunt Ning poured warm water over, and Ye Xinning drank from the water glass. Shen Lin's call had ended, and she looked at him, "He is indeed very busy."
"Don't you want to know what I just said?"
"In no mood."
Shen Lin groaned.
"You have nothing to say to me?"
"No."
"But didn't the person who called you ask you to greet me on his behalf?"
Shen Lin didn't speak, a smile escaped from his thin lips.
Ye Xinning later realized what he had just said, and looking at Shen Lin's expression, he realized that he had revealed his secret.
When Shen Lin called just now, he said something in French.
——Okay, let me say hello to my wife for you.
"Did you know I knew French?"
Shen Lin raised his eyebrows, "You are the eldest lady of the Ye family. You are the heir cultivated by Mr. Ye as his heir. You can speak French. Isn't this normal?"
Ye Xinning, "..."
Well, if you think about it carefully, it seems to be true.
"Who is on the phone? Why do you still want to ask me how you do?"
"A friend in France."
Ye Xinning groaned and stopped asking further questions.
The two chatted about other topics, and Aunt Ning suddenly came in and said, "Madam, sir, we have a guest."
