Shi Nan was shocked and almost went forward to catch her, but he resisted. He couldn't be soft-hearted, he couldn't let her have hope, and then all he had done would be in vain.

Huang Meuting leaned her hands on the back of the chair, bowed her head and took a deep breath. When she stood up, a smile appeared on her face as she looked at Shi Nan, ”This is the first time I've cooked in the kitchen. I just learned it yesterday, I don't know if it's to your liking. Try it.”

Shi Nan was speechless. He had never seen such a tenacious woman with such a tenacious life force. No matter how he slapped her, she wouldn't die. He took a deep breath and sat down at the kitchen table.

Huang Meuting was overjoyed. After filling a bowl for both of them, he sat down opposite to Shi Nan. Shi Nan used his chopsticks to pick at the rice in the bowl and said, ”There's not enough water, the food is too tough!” It's easy to get stomach problems from eating like this! ”

Xue Bao was somewhat embarrassed and didn't know what to do. He could only let out a dry laugh and apologetically said, ”Sorry, I will pay attention next time. Why don't you try out these dishes first and see if you can eat them?”

As he said that, he picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth. Just as he placed it in his mouth, he could not help but spit it out. ”So salty!”

He then tried out the second round. ”So spicy!” Her face was red to the extreme as she watched Shi Nan's hand freeze in midair, unable to move. She jumped to her feet, snatched the chopsticks from his hands, and began to clear the table.

”Sorry, there's still some left in the fridge, I'll cook it again. You go take a bath first.” She was so anxious that her eyes were red. She really regretted not having tried it out just now. This way, Shi Nan would feel that he was just a useless daughter of a rich family!

Shi Nan quietly entered the kitchen and said from behind, ”Go get all the dishes, I'll cook them.”

Huang Meuting looked back at him and obediently went to the fridge to pick up the dishes she had bought. Shi Nan took over her job and skillfully started preparing dinner.

Huang Meding could not help but be a little dazed as she thought about how happy she would be if she could stay in the kitchen with him every day to prepare dinner and live a normal life together.

”Take the dishes out.” Shi Nan turned his head to look at her, but Huang Meuting showed no reaction. It was as if he turned to look at her again. Seeing him staring blankly at her with a faint smile on his face, it was easy to guess what she was thinking.

”Miss Huang!” He shouted at the top of his lungs, ”What is it?”

”I told you to take the dishes out.” Shi Nan couldn't stand it any longer and repeated that he hadn't seen anyone who was still in a trance after cooking.

Huang Meding followed his instructions and brought the dishes out. After setting up the tableware, she walked in and stood beside him saying, ”Since you know how to cook, why don't you cook normally? Eating bubbles is bad for your body, and you can't eat to your heart's content. ”

”One doesn't want to cook.” It was always very casual to eat alone, and it was not easy to cook either. He really would rather eat fast food, eat instant noodles, since he had never cooked at home before.

”How can you be like this? Eat fast food at noon and instant noodles at night. That will ruin your body.” No matter how busy she was, she couldn't afford to miss her meal.

Shi Nan felt a bit of warmth in his heart when he saw her concerned expression. After all, very few people cared about him here. However, the expression on his face remained calm. ”We only eat occasionally. Most of the time, we have to accompany our customers to eat.”

”I don't care! Anyway, you're not allowed to eat instant noodles anymore, understand? ” Seeing her barbaric look, Shi Nan couldn't help but laugh to himself as he lowered his head to continue eating.

Huang Meding also picked up her chopsticks and looked at the fragrant and colourful dishes on the table. After she tried one piece, a big smile appeared on her face: ”The dishes you cooked were very delicious. I didn't expect you to be so good at cooking. Who taught you that?”

Shi Nan cast a sidelong glance at her and said coldly, ”A country bumpkin like me would of course cook. I'm not like expensive girls like you who only know how to eat. There will be someone to serve them for their entire life.”

”You're making fun of me again.” Huang Meuting pouted and stared at him: ”Shi Nan, can you not always use my identity to ridicule me? Being born in a rich family is not my choice, and I'm already trying to be an ordinary girl. ”

Shi Nan replied without raising his head, ”I just want to remind you to pay attention to your own identity, and do as your mother says.” It would be better for you to find a well-matched rich man to marry. ”

”You are not a god! ”How do you know that's good for me?” Huang Meding slapped her chopsticks on the table in frustration and glared at him, ”You're not me, how do you know what kind of life I like?”

Shi Nan was shocked by her sudden discontent. He raised his eyes and glanced at her before continuing to eat his bowl of rice.

”Shi Nan! I'm talking to you! ” Huang Meuting angrily shouted at Shi Nan.

Shi Nan raised his head, put down his chopsticks, and stared at her. He calmly said, ”Miss Huang, I feel that there's nothing much to say to you. You just need to remember one thing. I, Shi Nan, cannot marry you.”

”Is it because I'm the daughter of a rich family?” Tears welled up in Huang Meding's eyes.
