Contract Bride, the power game of misplaced love

"If you have any intention, then you should take the first step?"

Xiao Yuheng suddenly grabbed her arm, making her even more flustered.

The two of them were so close that she could hear the sound of his heart beating.

Li Zhijian struggled, his face darkening: "You misunderstood."

"Yeah?".

Li Zhijian turned his head to the side and said in a low voice:

"So he's your guest."

"What else?" he asked again.

“This is my first day on the job.”

"That's all?"

"Yes, believe it or not, this is just an accident."

Seeing her calm look, Xiao Yuheng was immediately furious. It turned out that this was just an accident.

He took a step forward, with a bit of evil in his eyes.

Li Zhijian was frightened by his masculine aura and the smell of cigarettes. She struggled and pushed him away forcefully.

Xiao Yuheng said meaningfully: "This pickled fish tastes pretty good."

"Hey! Mr. Xiao, what did you just say?"

He deliberately lowered his voice so that she couldn't hear it at all.

He did it on purpose.

The more panicked she was, the more he gloated because she had schemed against him again and again.

Just then, the door opened.

To outsiders, the two seemed to be whispering.

Qiao Manman was instantly delighted and asked happily:

"Boss Xiao, what are you two talking about?"

"I mean, Xiao Li's pickled fish tastes great."

Xiao Yuheng came back and interrupted him.

Qiao Manman stared at Li Zhijian with an incredulous look. She spread her hands and looked doubtful:

"Can you cook pickled fish?"

Hearing this, Li Zhijian staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Xiao Yuheng smiled and said, "She knows quite a lot.

Li Zhijian blushed and tried to defend himself:

"Mr. Xiao, you are so humorous."

Knock knock knock, there is a knock on the door.

The waiter brought some appetizers, and Li Zhijian breathed a sigh of relief.

She relaxed because of her presence.

Li Zhijian originally intended to distance herself from Xiao Yuheng, but before she could get close to Zhao Yunshan, Qiao Manman called out to her:

"You stay with Mr. Xiao, serve him as a waiter, and choose dishes for him."

Li Zhijian was extremely reluctant. He had arms, so why should he ask her to help him choose?

Zhao Yunshan saw that Li Zhijian was a little embarrassed, so he took the initiative to speak:

"Boss Qiao, how about I switch with Zhi Jian and let me serve Boss Xiao."

Xiao Yuheng nearly choked on his coffee. These two words made him feel sick.

We just met, right?

Xiao Yuheng's face darkened. Was he disgusted with him?

As he said this, he placed the cup on the table and waved at her maliciously.

"Come, sit down."

Li Zhijian wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it. Xiao Yuheng was deliberately making things difficult for her.

If she continued to hesitate, who knows what trouble might happen. After thinking about it, she had no choice but to sit down next to Xiao Yuheng.

The two looked at each other and understood what the other meant.

If looks could kill him, Li Zhijian would have skinned him alive by now.

Qiao Manman didn't notice anything. She just looked at the well-behaved Li Zhijian and sat down next to Xiao Yuheng.

With a look of deep calculation, he finally felt relieved and picked up a cigarette and lit it.

The two were so close that Xiao Yuheng could even see every detail of her clearly.

A young and energetic little face, with fair skin glowing with a faint blush, like a bright pearl.

She is a heartless teenager who cannot hide her joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

She pouted from time to time, seeming very dissatisfied with him.

Soon, dishes were served one after another.

Qiao Manman also knew that Xiao Yuheng was used to luxury and extravagance, so she booked a restaurant specifically for him. The owner of the restaurant was a Sichuan chef, and the chefs were all Sichuan natives.

Sichuan is one of the eight major cooking schools in China and occupies a very critical position in the history of cooking.

It has the reputation of "one dish, one style, hundreds of dishes, hundreds of flavors".

Li Zhijian left early in the morning, his mind full of thoughts about returning to the new company.

She didn't even have time to eat breakfast, and her stomach started growling when she saw so many delicious foods.

Xiao Yuheng's eyes fell on her, with a bit of seriousness: "Did you hear it?"

Of course Li Zhijian couldn't say that her stomach was growling, so she smiled awkwardly and said, "No!"

Xiao Yuheng gave her a sly look without blinking, as if questioning her and asking her to deny it.

His gaze was extremely sharp.

Li Zhijian picked up a piece of large intestine for him and asked politely, "Mr. Xiao, would you like to try it?"

Xiao Yuheng frowned and approached her, his warm breath surrounding her body.

"Not to mention the large intestine, I won't eat even the intestines."

He originally wanted to change the subject, but Li Zhijian smartly gave him her bowl because she hadn't eaten yet.

Xiao Yuheng still sat there, expressionless, as if he was not interested in the food in front of him.

Qiao Manman knocked on the table and lowered her voice:

"Li Zhijian, go and help Mr. Xiao order some side dishes. Don't eat alone."

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Zhijian's stomach growled.

Xiao Yuheng held back his laughter and said seriously:

"Forget it, don't make her feel too uncomfortable. Her stomach is protesting now. Let's go eat something."

Xiao Yuheng's tone was very casual, but as soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Yunshan and Qiao Manman both looked towards Li Zhijian.

Li Zhijian blushed and stammered, "I'm sorry, I forgot to eat!"

Qiao Manman shook the white wine in her hand and said proudly:

"One bottle per person tonight, you can use this one."

Li Zhijian felt a little headache as she stared at the white bottle. She usually hardly drank any alcohol, let alone white wine.

She wasn't a big drinker, so it looked like she was up to some conspiracy.

After thinking about it, she still gritted her teeth and said with a smile:

"Boss Qiao, I, I can't drink."

A hint of displeasure flashed across Qiao Manman's fair little face:

"As my person, you can't reject me."

Zhao Yunshan winked at Li Zhijian, meaning, "Don't try to reason with Qiao Manman. I can help you find some wine."

Li Zhijian had been twisting her hands constantly, but now that Zhao Yunshan was helping her, she felt relieved and made a face at him.

Xiao Yuheng placed one hand on her thigh and pulled her in front of him:

"If you still try to seduce me, I will expose you in front of everyone."

Xiao Yuheng's answer made her heart sink. She clearly didn't do anything!

Li Zhijian quickly sat up straight, fearing that he would accidentally anger the monster in front of him.
