Chapter 209 [Irresistible Sweetness 008] Win a Man's Heart Through His Stomach
Shu Tang nodded in agreement, "I'll list them in a bit... but I'm not in a rush for my things, my leg isn't fully healed yet, and it'll be hard for you to carry so much stuff by yourself. How about we go together when my leg is better?"

Perhaps fearing he might refuse, she added, "The materials for relief carvings are quite particular. I'm afraid you might not know about them, so it would be better if I went to buy them with you."

Xiao Guxing thought about it and realized that what she said did make sense.

She smiled and agreed, "Is there anything you'd like to eat or buy?"

Shu Tang silently cheered for her own cleverness, thankfully her mind worked quickly.

It would be a waste not to seize such a great 'date' opportunity.

Why didn't I think of that last time?
Pig brain.

"I want to make desserts. I'll send you a list later."

Xiao Guxing nodded. "The weather is nice today, but the sun isn't too strong yet. You can come out and get some sun around noon."

"it is good."

Shu Tang listened to his instructions, smiled and saw him off to his car, watching him drive away. If her legs weren't too weak to jump, she would have jumped up.

On his way to the company, Xiao Guxing received a call from the police station saying that the two robbers had been caught, they had spent the cash, and they had sold Shu Tang's cell phone, translator, and designer handbag secondhand.

They were eating when they were caught.

He only had a little over 70,000 rubles left.

That's about five thousand yuan in RMB.

But they had a total of 1.3 million rubles in their bank accounts.

Of these three items, the most valuable is Shu Tang's Hermes bag, a limited edition pink and blue model that was originally priced at 66 yuan.

But clearly, these two robbers didn't know their stuff; they sold such an expensive bag for just over two million rubles.

That's equivalent to about 200,000 RMB, and that price includes the cost of selling the phone and the translation pen.

But they threw away anything they didn't need into the garbage dump.

It's unrealistic to think about going to a garbage dump to look for things from a few days ago.

Forget about passports, ID cards, bank cards, and credit cards.

Just get it replaced honestly.

The police meant that they should come over, sign something, and then take the 'stolen money' back, which would at least make up for some of the loss.

Xiao Guxing didn't have time in the morning, so he could only arrange a time with the police in the afternoon.

After the meeting in the morning, he contacted a lawyer to consult about prosecuting the two robbers.

Around 3 p.m., after finishing his work, he drove to the police station.

When the police saw that he had brought a lawyer, they understood his intentions. They first took them to see the two prisoners, and then the lawyer collected the evidence from the police records and went back to draft the indictment.

After Xiao Guxing signed the papers, the police withdrew the more than one million rubles from the two prisoners' accounts.

He looked at the huge pile of cash and scratched his brow.

He could already picture the shocked and bewildered expression on Shu Tang's face when she saw the pile of cash.

Before it was time to leave work, he quickly went to the bank to deposit the money into his card, planning to convert it into RMB and transfer it to her via WeChat later.

Supermarkets are usually open until 8 p.m.

After leaving the bank, he went straight to the Chinese supermarket and bought six or seven kinds of vegetables that were suitable for a barbecue the next day but were hard to find in other supermarkets. Only then did he pick out the items from her list.

It contains flour, butter, sugar, condensed milk, etc.

These are all things needed for making desserts.

Xiao Guxing is very tolerant in this regard. People's hobbies are cultivated gradually, and you have to try them to know what you really like.

Just like his parents wanted him to become a doctor like his older brother, but he refused. He understood that being a doctor was a very sacred profession, one that healed the sick and saved lives.

He may have witnessed too many instances of his parents leaving him when he needed them, showing selflessness in sacrificing their own families for the greater good, but as a member of his own family, he suffered greatly as a result.

He is probably selfish and cannot accept that if he gets married in the future, his children will go through everything he went through.

What young child doesn't crave love?
Who wouldn't want their parents to spend time with them, even if it's just to have a meal or tell a bedtime story?

His mother always said that he and his sister were not as obedient as his eldest brother. She always said that he was the one with the best temper among the three siblings, but in fact he was the most stubborn and inflexible. Once he made up his mind about something, nothing could change it.

He never denied it.

He also felt that his parents' understanding of him was limited to this level.

That's all there is.

As for disappointment, he has forgotten what that feeling is like, or rather, he never had any expectations of them, so he doesn't feel disappointed.

I got home at exactly seven o'clock.

The kitchen was already sizzling with cooking sounds.

"I'm sorry I'm late."

Xiao Guxing rolled up his sleeves, came in to wash his hands, and glanced at the food preparation on the counter, preparing to take over.

"Are you hungry?"

"I'll be done soon. I figured you should be back around this time, so I just got the idea and started cooking. You should try my cooking too. Mine might not be as good as yours."

Shu Tang didn't make any complicated dishes.

I made shredded pork with sweet bean sauce, a steamed fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, and garlic greens.

These dishes happen to be the ones she is most skilled at and adept at, and they are the ones that give her confidence.

Fortunately, there were the ingredients she needed in the refrigerator.

It's often said that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

After thinking it over, she realized that what she used to think was nonsense now seemed to make some sense.

Xiao Guxing was quite surprised to see that she was quite skilled at cooking. A pampered and spoiled young lady like her should never lift a finger, yet she knew how to cook.

Looking at the appetizing sweet and sour pork ribs, he smiled and nodded with interest, "Okay, shall I take these two dishes out first?"

"What would you like to drink?" he asked, opening the refrigerator after bringing back the dishes.

Shu Tang thought for a second, "The pear-flavored soda, it's delicious."

Xiao Guxing got her a bottle of soda as she wished.

Seeing that she was about to carry the steamed fish, he strode over and said, "I'll do it. Be careful not to burn yourself. Please, Chef Shu, take a seat. I'll take care of the rest."

Shu Tang was amused by his "Chef Shu" nickname and immediately adopted a dignified demeanor, "Then this great chef won't be polite!"

Xiao Guxing's tables and chairs were better; Shu Tang was only 1.63 meters tall, so she had to step on the bar under the chair to sit down.

As Xiao Guxing turned around, he saw her climbing up and couldn't help but smile.

Shu Tang didn't notice this. She sat up straight and watched Xiao Guxing take a bite of the food. She looked at him with anticipation and a hint of nervousness. "How is it? Is it good?"

Xiao Guxing refused earnestly, his expression somewhat complicated, and remained silent.

"If it's good, it's good; if it's not... never mind, forget I asked." Shu Tang held her breath, then let it all out.

Xiao Guxing stopped teasing her and nodded, "It's delicious."

He gestured with his eyes, "Really, I'm not lying to you, you should try it."
