She purposely said the word 'customer' so loud that it stung Huang Meuting's diaphragm and her heart.

”Mei-Ting, come in.” Shi Nan led her to the living room and poured her a glass of juice from the fridge. After placing it in front of her, he sat down on the sofa on the other side, feeling as uneasy as Huang Meiteng.

”You all … When did you live together? ” After hesitating for a long time, Huang Meuting finally asked this question carefully. He silently gazed at Shi Nan and held his breath as he waited for his reply.

It was at this moment that Zhou Yun called out from the kitchen, ”Shi Nan, help me get the vegetable basket from the balcony.”

Shi Nan stood up, walked to the balcony, and took the vegetable basket into the kitchen. At this moment, Zhou Yun said, ”There are so many things to wash. Shi Nan, would you like to help me wash the vegetables?”

”Yes.” ”Yes.” Shi Nan replied. He was helping in the kitchen with a heavy heart. However, his heart was with Huang Meuting in the living room.

Huang Meding was sitting in the living room. She couldn't stay, but she couldn't leave either. He felt like he was a clown, so unnecessary. There was no room for her here. Look at how intimate they were!

He got up and walked to the kitchen door and said, ”Zhou Yun, Shi Nan, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do at home. You two take your time.”

”No!” It's almost time for the pot to boil. How can you just leave like that? ” Zhou Yun refused to obey and waved at her, saying, ”Quickly go to the living room and watch TV. You probably haven't done this kind of housework before, right? So, it's better to just wait for us. ”

Huang Meuting's face grew hot. It was unknown whether Zhou Yun had said it on purpose or not. After hesitating for a moment, he obediently returned to the living room to watch TV.

Not long after, she heard Zhou Yun call her over to eat. Huang Meiteng walked over to the dining table and sat down. Zhou Yun, still acting like a hostess, greeted, ”Meiding, you don't have to be so polite. Eat more.”

”Yes.” ”En.” Huang Meuting replied, but she didn't have the slightest appetite as she looked at the items on the table. Like her, Shi Nan spoke very little. Only Zhou Yun kept chattering non-stop. He picked up a piece of beef and placed it in Shi Nan's bowl. He said with a smile, ”Shi Nan, you can try out this beef. It's pretty good and very fresh.”

Shi Nan glanced at her uncomfortably and said, ”I'll do it myself.”

Huang Meuting felt that she could not take it anymore. Her heart ached so much that she could not swallow anything. The hand holding the chopsticks did not even dare to go into the pot. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control his emotions at this moment.

Lowering her head, she noticed that there was an extra shrimp roll in the bowl and looked up in surprise. Seeing that Shi Nanxin was looking at her with a faint smile, he said, ”Eat more. Otherwise, you'll have to go home for another meal tonight.”

”Thank you.” Huang Meuting looked at him emotionally. At the moment when she was the most embarrassed, Shi Nan helped her out of this predicament. She didn't know if Shi Nan did it intentionally or not, but she really wanted to thank him.

”The water tofu is also not bad, all of you come and try.” Zhou Yun suddenly said.

Seeing her take water tofu to put in the pot, as well as spinach to throw into the pot, Huang Meting hurriedly said, ”Zhou Yun, spinach cannot be eaten together with tofu, it's not good for the body.”

Zhou Yun was surprised for a moment, his hand that was holding the plate froze in midair, and then he placed the spinach back on the table and laughed dryly, ”Is that so? I don't know yet, but you know more about encyclopedia. ”

Huang Meuting laughed, ”I don't know much about it. It's just that I suddenly got interested in studying food and nutrition.”

Shi Nan was slightly apprehensive. He recalled the lunch Mrs Liu had brought him every day. Every meal was prepared personally by her. Actually, he already knew about it, but she had always thought that he didn't.

She had clearly said that they would never appear in each other's circle of life again, yet she had secretly used this method to care for him. His guilt and his gratitude had always been deeply hidden deep within her heart.

”Let's have a drink. Don't drink too much.” Zhou Yun suddenly suggested. Without waiting for the two to agree, he stood up and walked over to the wine cabinet. He took out a bottle of red wine and three goblets and poured a cup for everyone.

Then he raised his own glass and said, ”Come, let's toast. Wish us success in our own career!”

Successful career love? Huang Meding smiled wryly in her heart. She did not even have professional love! Still, she picked up her glass of wine and clinked it with the two of them. ”Congratulations,” she said, forcing a smile.

Raising her head, she poured the wine from her bosom into her mouth. After drinking this wine, she really should leave. It was time to let go! There was no longer any reason to insist, was there?

A warm hand took hold of her cup and lifted it from her mouth. It was still Shi Nan. He took down her cup with concern and said, ”Don't drink so much. Be careful not to hurt your body.”
