Chapter 313: Preparing A Five Star Meal For Her
“She is a skilled and efficient helper.”
“That’s good.”
Fang Shaohua noticed her slightly fatigued expression and said in concern, “Go to the room and rest for a while. Leave the cooking to me. I’ll call you when the food is ready.”
Although they were not related by blood, Fang Xinxin has always treated him like her actual brother. Thus, she did not stand on ceremony. “En.”
She turned to head to the guest room.
Fang Shaohua noticed her movements. His light and warm voice could be heard from the kitchen. “I didn’t prepare any blankets or pillows in the guest room. Usually, there aren’t any guests for me to receive. Go ahead and use the main bedroom.”
Fang Xinxin was exhausted from the emotional upheaval during the day. Her body also felt unwell due to her period. She could not summon the strength to pull out the sheets and pillows for the guest room.
However, the main bedroom was her brother’s room. It wasn’t suitable for her to sleep on his bed, was it?
Although they often shared a room when they were young, that was when they were both children. Why did it matter if they were of opposite genders?
Right now, they were both grown-ups.
This matter was slightly sensitive.
However, she recalled that her brother had been wronged for three years. As of now, their only source of evidence was Wang Liangping, the man who had stolen her phone. He was still out of their reach.
From what she heard from Hei Xiao, Wang Liangping had left Malaysia to head to Thailand. They were still pursuing him.
She wasn’t sure when her brother’s innocence would be proven. She could not bear to reject him.
She was worried that he would think she was being distant or formal with him.
Thus, she pursed her lips to respond. “I don’t feel like sleeping right now. I’ll rest on the couch for awhile.”
She sat down on the couch and shrunk her feet back to lay down for a rest.
Fang Shaohua prepared the food and headed to the living room to see that Fang Xinxin had dozed off due to exhaustion.
He took in her tired face. There were faint shadows under her eyes.
He knew that during the past few days, she was not only busy with her studies but also in advancing her career.
There were also a bunch of bastards targeting her in school.
She must be exhausted.
He hated the fact that he was still a criminal. It was not suitable for him to reveal his face in front of everyone.
Otherwise, he definitely would get rid of all those who dared to bully her!
Furthermore, she was losing weight too rapidly.
In this period of time, whenever they met, she would be much thinner than the previous time. The speed at which she was losing weight really caused his heart to ache.
He hesitated to wake her up.
Eventually, he decided to let her rest a little longer. Even if the food turned cold, he could warm it up quickly in the microwave.
Fang Shaohua headed into his bedroom and brought a blanket out. He laid it gently over her.
Fang Xinxin opened her drowsy eyes and took in the man who was thoughtfully covering her up with a blanket. She lifted her hand and yawned tiredly. “Brother, is the food ready?”
“You must be hungry.” He was worried about making her eat at such a late time. “Have some dinner before you rest.”
“I was woken up by your five stars culinary skills.” She smiled slightly.
Although her skin was still covered in scabs, Fang Shaohua found that she possessed a strange charm. “Silly girl, you haven’t even eaten my food and you’ve already started flattering me.”
She harrumphed mischievously. “In this world, nobody can possibly compete against my brother’s cooking skills!”
He patted her on the head dotingly and casually responded. “Look at your mischievous words. Since you’re going so far to praise me, I’ll cook for you for the rest of your life.”
She shook her head without pausing to think. “You can’t do that. Brother, you still have to get married in the future. If you cook for me for the rest of my life, my future sister-in-law will be jealous.”
In fact, he was carefully testing her feelings.
Clearly...
She only saw him as her brother.
A hint of bitterness filled Fang Shaohua’s withered heart. Sharp pain lanced through his chest.
