“Love can’t withstand arguments. Over time, people get tired,” he had once deeply loved her, but now he questioned whether rekindling their relationship would bring him happiness.
Xia Bing was about to offer advice to give his ex-wife another chance but thought better of it, realizing relationship matters were not for an outsider to intervene in.
Hai Jun smiled and said he would help, so Aunt Wen let him into the kitchen to help Xia Bing, saying she wasn’t cooking very well.
When Xia Bing turned to grab a bag, she saw Hai Jun. Seeing him come to help, she hurriedly declined, “You’re a guest, just sit over there. If you’re really bored, go upstairs and watch TV.”
“Aunt Wen sent me to help,” Hai Jun laughed.
Yi Yi immediately escaped, “Hai Jun is here to help, so I’ll get out of the way to avoid causing more trouble.” Yi Yi secretly admired Aunt Wen’s strategy, knowing she needed to disappear as the third wheel.
“Help me tear these snow peas,” Xia Bing was truly powerless against their kindness.
Yi Yi said she would help Aunt Wen at the front desk and quickly ran off.
Originally meant to help Xia Bing, Hai Jun ended up becoming the main chef, with Xia Bing as his assistant.
Xia Bing tasted the almost-cooked dish, “Just the right saltiness, delicious flavor.” She gave a thumbs up. Hai Jun’s cooking was excellent, which made her, as a woman, feel ashamed.
The soup was placed in a large bowl, and Xia Bing helped carry it to the dining table.
Seeing Yi Yi peeking, Xia Bing was exasperated, “What are you doing at the door? Come help, or you won’t get lunch.”
Yi Yi immediately came to help, simultaneously starting to sneak tastes, “It’s quite delicious. Hai Jun’s cooking skills are great, you’re lucky… If you two get married, I’ll often come to mooch meals.” Yi Yi then stopped talking because her mouth was busy eating.
Xia Bing used her chopsticks to push away Yi Yi’s, “No sneaking bites, wait until Aunt Wen comes to eat.”
“Not fair, you already tasted a lot… I want to eat too…” Yi Yi secretly grabbed some food while Xia Bing wasn’t looking.
