Chapter 777 - He Agreed! (2/2)

Xiao Yi walked in front of Qin Peipei, lifting her chin with a finger. Smelling the strong scent of perfume on her, he furrowed his eyebrows. “Girls should still be more reserved.”

“Brother Yi, you’re so mean! You always make me angry.” Qin Peipei glared at Xiao Yi, pouting coyly as she turned to run away.

But Xiao Yi did not chase after her.

Taking his phone from the table, he glanced at the call records.

That woman had not called.

Didn’t she want him to help him?

Why? Did she not dare to even call him now?

When did Xia Yanran become so timid?

…

On Nan Zhi’s side.

She got her bodyguards to wait outside, as she carried the present she bought for Elder Dong with both hands, walking into Elder Dong’s house.

Elder Dong was drinking tea in the living room. Seeing Nan Zhi enter with a present in her hands, he smiled as he said, “Girl, no present is able to buy me over if you didn’t find the ring.”

Nan Zhi put down her present, bowing at Elder Dong politely. “Teacher Dong, I’d disturbed you over the last few days. You’re right, I didn’t find the ring, and I’m really sorry about it. I plan to return tomorrow morning. I hope that you can remain healthy and happy, so that you can continue to bring Mrs Dong to travel around the world!”

With that said, Nan Zhi turned around.

Although she felt extremely disappointed and helpless for not being able to get Elder Dong, she could understand him.

That was why she didn’t want to force him to go against his principles.

Just as Nan Zhi was about to reach the door, Elder Dong’s voice interrupted her movements. “Wait a minute.”

Nan Zhi turned around, glancing towards Elder Dong in confusion.

Would he ask her to leave with her present?

Elder Dong put down the ceramic cup in his hands, standing up from the chair. He walked in front of Nan Zhi, asking, “I heard from Amy that you’re very good at cooking?”

Elder Dong’s sudden change of topic made Nan Zhi even more confused.

“I haven’t eaten dinner yet, and would like to try your cooking. What do you think?”

Nan Zhi nodded. “Sure, I’m happy to cook something for you.”

Elder Dong led Nan Zhi into the kitchen.

…

An hour later, Nan Zhi was done with six dishes.

Three Cantonese dishes and three Chuan dishes.

Staring at the dishes that looked and smelled tantalizing, Elder Dong asked in deep thought. “Why did you make two styles of food?”

Nan Zhi explained. “I saw two recipe books on the shelf in the kitchen, one was of Chuan dishes and the other of Cantonese dishes. The ingredients in the fridge also comprised of these two flavors. I thought that it’s probably because Teacher Dong doesn’t eat spicy but your wife does, and that Teacher Dong would make a dish that your wife liked to eat everyday when you cooked.”

Elder Dong did not think that Nan Zhi’s observation skills would be so strong with her young age. An appreciative smile appeared on his usually stern expression. “Girls that know how to cook are not common anymore, while those that are as observant as you are even more rare.”

Nan Zhi raised a hand to sweep the hair by her cheek away. “I don’t know if they fit Teacher Dong’s preference, would you like to try it?”

Elder Dong picked up his chopsticks, taking a bite before nodded. “It tastes and smells perfect. In the past, I only knew to research on psychology, while my wife took care of everything else for me. Because of that, I became the best psychiatrist in the world. However, it was only after my wife left me that I found out that she liked to eat spicy and only changed her taste to a bland one for me.

“Miss Nan, your love for your boyfriend is like the type my wife had for me. Although you didn’t manage to find the ring, I will accept your request. Come, sit and eat with me.”
