Chapter 593: 378 A Difficult and Childish Old Man? Just a Colleague (3 more updates)

Shen Shuci had experimented with cooking several fish dishes, and with practice, she became adept at making braised fish. Her movements were smooth and effortless.

Qi Zeyan looked around the kitchen and nudged the person next to him, "Old Huo, what’s going on between you two? She doesn’t go to work and comes to your house to learn cooking?"

He had no idea that Shen Shuci’s manager had given her time off, so naturally, he couldn’t have guessed she would appear at the Huo Family at this time.

What kind of luck had he walked into that always led him to encounter these situations?

"Can’t you tell? We’re cooking."

"Just that?" Qi Zeyan scoffed lightly.

"What else do you want to see?"

"Didn’t you say that you two had held hands and hugged? But..." Qi Zeyan lowered his voice, the two were politely interacting, hardly looking like they were in that kind of relationship.

"But what?"

"Never mind."

Qi Zeyan stroked his chin, wondering if these two were still at a stage where they were playing coy with each other.

With Shen Shuci busy, evening arrived. She had made quite a few braised fish dishes, and the Huo Family also benefited from it. They had an extra meal in the evening. Qi Zeyan had sampled too much earlier and was not very hungry by dinner time, but his presence kept the atmosphere at the table lively.

"Miss Shen, would you like some wine?" Qi Zeyan had brought two bottles of wine, being quite familiar with the Huo Family, he directly took some wine glasses and without asking, opened the wine.

"I drove here," Shen Shuci declined politely.


"No problem, worst case, let Old Huo drive you back later, or if not, there are plenty of spare rooms at the Huo Family. Just stay here, Old Huo, get someone to prepare a room for her."

"That would be too troublesome..." Staying at the Huo Family? Shen Shuci was genuinely a bit scared.

The area was really secluded, and the house was full of men, sometimes you could even hear dogs barking from the backyard. In such silence, it was hard to ignore.

"Don’t be scared; we are all friends of Xiaowu and his wife, all absolutely upright people. We won’t do anything to you," Qi Zeyan said with a smile.

"That’s not what I meant." Shen Shuci naturally believed they were good people.

"Have a little, you’re not working anyway."

Since he was young, Qi Zeyan had been toughened up by accompanying his grandfather and father at banquets, so he knew exactly how to persuade others to drink. Shen Shuci was not used to these local customs and had been asking Qi Zeyan for help all day, she ended up being coaxed into having a drink...

With one drink came another, and soon her cheeks were flushed with a playful red.
