CHAPTER 588: CHAPTER 586: LOYAL DOG ATTRIBUTES

Jinghen nodded, "I did just a little bit."

To Jinghen, "a little bit" meant quite a lot.

If it had been before, Wen Qiao would’ve already pounced on him and hugged him, cooing about how wonderful he was.

But now, she buried that touch of emotion deep in her heart.

"President Fu is really thoughtful."

"As long as you like it."

She organized the snacks by category, putting the ones that needed refrigeration into the fridge, and stashed the rest in the snack cabinet.

While she was doing this, Jinghen stood by watching her. Even the short walk to the fridge, he would follow right behind her.

Like a little puppy trailing after her.

Wen Qiao found it a bit funny, "Why are you always following me? It’s just a small kitchen; can’t you see everything without trailing me?"

Jinghen shook his head.

"..."

Had she just discovered another trait of Jinghen’s?

Loyal dog trait.

To ensure lunch was on time, Wen Qiao assigned Jinghen a task; she asked him to pick vegetables.

Wen Qiao, "Take off your suit."

Jinghen removed his suit jacket, draped it over the couch, and rolled up his sleeves as he walked towards the kitchen.

The living room had a huge floor-to-ceiling window, and sunlight cascaded through it, forming a halo around Jinghen.

Watching him approach step by step, Wen Qiao let out a silent sigh.

She really couldn’t bring herself to be harsh to that face.

As Jinghen came closer, Wen Qiao unfolded the apron he had bought, handing it to him, "Put this on, don’t get your clothes dirty."

Jinghen glanced at the apron and said calmly, "I won’t."

"..."

Wen Qiao held the apron open, "Lift your arms."

Jinghen obediently complied.

"Bow your head."

"..."

"Turn around."

"..."

After she put the apron on Jinghen, Wen Qiao realized the apron he bought was a couple’s set with the one she was wearing.

The apron she wore was yellow, printed with the image of Jerry the mouse.

The one Jinghen had on was blue, featuring Tom the cat.

And he said it was just on a whim!

It was clearly premeditated!

Wen Qiao glared at Jinghen, and seeing that he’d been caught, he explained unhurriedly, "When I brought you back yesterday, I saw it hanging on the fridge. Today, at the supermarket, I happened to see its partner, so I bought it to keep it company."

"..."

Partner indeed.

If it weren’t for the fact that both Jerry and Tom were male, what he probably wanted to say was "the other half."

"I have many other things in this house by themselves. This time you saw this; next time you come, are you going to bring their partners too?"

"Next time?" Jinghen caught onto these two words with keen interest, smiling and nodding, "Sure."

Wen Qiao realized she’d been unwittingly led along by him and threw a bag of green beans into Jinghen’s arms, "Go pick the vegetables."

Jinghen chuckled, "Okay."

"..."

Laugh it up.

Sooner or later, you’ll have a time when you won’t be able to.

Wen Qiao turned around and settled into a spot opposite Jinghen, sorting the ingredients from the bag one by one.

Since she had to wait for Jinghen to finish picking vegetables before she could move on to the next task, after tidying everything up, Wen Qiao leaned against the stove to enjoy the view of the man’s figure for while, then stepped forward to help him pick vegetables.

She had thought that someone as un-kitchen-savvy as Jinghen wouldn’t even recognize all the spices, but to her surprise, not only did he not buy the wrong things, but he also had a pretty good knack for picking out the vegetables.
