Chapter 24 This Is a Waste of Water

Zhao Jinxing moved to Qin Yu’s side. One of them broke the vegetable leaves, while the other washed them in the sink.

She would always accidentally touch his hand as they passed each other. At first, she was a little embarrassed, but not long after, Zhao Jinxing’s mischievous nature began, and she began to deliberately misbehave. She either scratched his palm, or she deliberately dribbled two drops of water on the back of his hand.

Qin Yu pretended not to notice and let her do whatever she wanted, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up. The two of them spent more than half an hour washing just a handful of vegetables.

“Aiya, how can you wash vegetables like this!”

In the other room, Auntie Rong had already prepared three or four dishes. She was just about to start stir-frying the vegetables. When she came over to take a look, she saw that the tap was flowing with water. The two of them were not even done washing the vegetables. Instead, they were tickling each other.

“Forget it, forget it, go watch TV in the living room!” Auntie Rong chased the two out of the kitchen with some disdain.

“If you keep washing like this, the water bills for this month will soar, and you won’t be able to eat this dish.”

Zhao Jinxing hid behind Qin Yu and pushed him in front to get scolded. “It’s all his fault, he is the one who doesn’t know how to wash vegetables.”

Qin Yu rubbed his nose helplessly and said, “Yeah, it’s my fault.”

Auntie Rong was speechless.

“Hurry up and leave, you guys are going to ruin my kitchen!”

After getting chased out by Auntie Rong, they looked at each other and Zhao Jinxing burst out laughing “Why are you cooking for me?” Zhao Jinxing asked with her hands behind her back.

“I didn’t know what you like to eat, but thinking about what you ordered just now, I figured that they were your favourite dishes, so I wanted to learn how to cook them. That way, if you get hungry one day, I can make them for

you.”

CEO Qin was omnipotent in the business world. He was considered a legend by everyone, but he had no idea how to cook. In the end, Auntie Rong couldn’t stand it anymore, so she sent him to wash the vegetables.

She didn’t expect that he couldn’t even do that.

Qin Yu was a little frustrated.

“I’ll learn how as soon as possible.” He didn’t want to get embarrassed again.

“Qin Yu, thank you.” Zhao Jinxing reached out and hugged him. This was the first time she had spoken to him in such a serious manner.

He tightened his arms and pulled her into his embrace. Qin Yu touched her little head. “We’re husband and wife, there’s no need to thank me.”

“Then… I’ll learn how to cook what you like. What do you like to eat?”

Qin Yu thought for a moment. “I don’t have any favourite foods.”

“Then from now on, what I like to eat is what you like to eat,” Zhao Jinxing decided on her own.

“Okay!” Qin Yu agreed. Without the two troublemakers, Qin Yu and Zhao Jinxing, Auntie Rong quickly prepared the dishes.

The sweet and sour ribs was perfectly sweet and sour, the boiled fish was fragrant and spicy, the crab powder tofu was fresh and tender, and the stir-fried vegetables were crisp and delicious. Even the tomato soup was delicious. Zhao Jinxing ate two bowls of rice before reluctantly putting down her bowl and chopsticks.

“Auntie Rong, you’re amazing! It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten such delicious home-cooked food!”

Auntie Rong smiled as she picked up a cup of freshly squeezed oranges and placed it in front of Zhao Jinxing. “If you like it, I’ll make it for you every day.”

“That’s for sure!”

Qin Yu was drinking tea after eating. He took a slow sip and said, “Make a list of what you like to eat. I’ll have Auntie Rong cook for you every day. Once she’s done, I’ll have the chauffeur send it to you.”

“Won’t that be too much trouble?” Zhao Jinxing was a little tempted.

The Zhenting Group building was located in the center of the city, and Tianshangshui was located in the northern suburbs of the city. One was in the south, and the other was in the north. Just the journey alone would take almost an hour, and all this was just to send her food?
