Chapter 243: Chapter 253: Better Early Than Just In Time

Shen Binnan wanted to help but ended up making a mess of things. Seeing how adept Fang Yi was, as well as his show-off attitude, Shen Binnan somehow felt an unreasonable annoyance brewing within her.

Is this guy a bodyguard or a nanny? How come he’s so skilled at even peeling vegetables?

But what surprised Shen Binnan even more came later.

Fang Yi took the lettuce, which he had peeled and stripped of its leaves, into the kitchen. With a kitchen knife in hand, he started chopping with a clank-clank sound. Each slice he made was only slightly thicker than a piece of paper, preventing them from turning mushy when stir-fried.

Not only could he peel vegetables, but he could also chop them. Shen Binnan couldn’t help but recall the guy’s past deeds.

He could fight, throw knives, play the piano, deceive people, protect others, and show care. It seemed there wasn’t anything he couldn’t do. If Shen Xiaoxiao were to judge, besides these things, he could also race cars and play video games.

In short, it appeared there was nothing this guy couldn’t do, nothing that could stump him.

Fang Yi cooked personally, slicing meat, vegetables, and stir-frying, performing all with an orderly efficiency, swift and adept. To Fang Yi, it all seemed so simple and relaxed.

A table of steaming dishes was served, and Shen Xiaoxiao crowded around, "Wow, Brother Yi, did you make all these? They’re amazing. Whoever marries you will be so blessed."

As she was about to reach for the dishes, Shen Binnan knocked her on the head and sternly said, "Go wash your hands."

All were seated around the table.

Cai Cai and Lin Lin sat together, two adorable little girls who had already washed their hands, eagerly awaiting the meal.

"Is there any alcohol?" Shen Binnan suddenly asked.

Fang Yi paused, looking at Shen Binnan with puzzlement.

"Of course, there is alcohol. Miss Shen, please wait a moment; I will fetch it for you," Xia Ziqi said with a smile, standing up to get the alcohol.

Soon, a bottle of baijiu was brought back, in the shape of a calabash bottle from Xiaojiaolou with not too high alcohol content. Shen Binnan took it over and asked, "Miss Xia, do you have a bowl?"
