Upon hearing Monty's words, Zhan Xiao paused for a moment, holding the strainer.

Then, putting down the spoon in her hand, she looked at Monty and said, "You think I came here to snatch the child?"

"What else could it be? Surely not for me, the female thief who keeps pulling down your pants?"

The moment those words were spoken, the air in the room fell silent.

Zhan Xiao looked at Monty.

After saying those words, Monty's face turned red instantly, and even the way she looked at Zhan Xiao became wary.

Her mind was filled with the instructions Heman Dan had given her before.

Even if you're furious, don't provoke this person. Don't provoke them, you absolutely mustn't provoke them!

But she really couldn't hold back anymore...

Let him try eating black sesame dumplings for a month.

Zhan Xiao strode toward Monty.

Upon seeing this, Monty immediately retreated.

His gaze became more wary, his defensive posture suggesting he was about to attack at any moment.

Upon meeting Monty's gaze, Zhan Xiao immediately stopped in his tracks.

His once gentle eyes narrowed slightly: "Are you afraid of me?"

"Are you kidding me? You think I'm afraid of you?"

Even though he was still thinking about what Heman Dan had said, Monty remained defiant.

afraid?

She has never been afraid in her life. She has faced countless dangers since childhood, so what is there for her to be afraid of?

Zhan Xiao: "Then why are you retreating?"

As he spoke, the man stretched out his long arm, his warm palm directly grabbing Monty's nape and pulling her closer to him.

Monty instinctively tried to resist, bending his knees, but was subdued by the man in the next moment!

Monty: "..."

Damn it, she's so fast, it seems like she might not be able to beat her.

Realizing the problem, Monty did not tone down his imposing manner; instead, his eyes darkened.

"open."

Zhan Xiao: "Take a closer look."

Monty: "..."

Look?

Their eyes met.

Zhan Xiao: "Did you see it clearly?"

Monty: "What are you looking at?"

I don't even know what to show her, so I just ask her if she understands it?

Tell her what she's looking at, though.

Zhan Xiao: "Don't you remember?"

Monty: "What?"

"I once gave you a bag of money."

Monty: "..."

The moment Monty heard the words "a bag of money," his mind went blank.

Her long-buried memories were instantly unearthed in her mind.

"You're that...?"

She remembered instantly.

Zhan Xiao: "You remember now?"

Monty: "I remember now."

That was... about seven years ago, during the time she was on a mission in Country F.

She was still young then.

After the mission was over, she leaned against a telephone pole on the street and smoked. Because the mission was quite big, she was feeling irritable and smoked several cigarettes there.

Then, a man handed her a bag of money!

Not only did they give her money, they also told her, "Girls shouldn't go astray; go home and go to school."

That was the first time in Monty's life he had ever heard such preaching.

At that moment, she didn't even realize what was happening.

By the time she realized what had happened, the man was already gone. She looked at the money in his pocket; it was quite a lot.

They gave her money and said something completely nonsensical.

She thought about it for a long time afterward.

Why did that man give her money and say those things to her? She thought she smelled alcohol on him at the time.

Now Zhan Xiao is talking about this.

Monty looked at him, his expression gradually cracking.

Why did you give me money back then?

The question that had troubled her for a long time was finally asked to her in person.

Upon hearing this, Zhan Xiao was taken aback.

He hadn't expected Monty to ask that question.

But thinking about why he gave Monty the money in the first place, a slight smile appeared on his lips, but he didn't answer her question.

He released his palm from the back of her neck.

He turned around and poured out the cooked glutinous rice balls.

Monty: "What are you doing?"

Zhan Xiao: "Since you don't like to eat them anymore, they no longer have any reason to exist."

Monty: "..."

There's no need to waste food like that.

"Are you willing to eat what I make now?" Zhan Xiao asked, looking at her.

Monty: "You don't need to do it, actually..."

"If I don't give you your doll, do you still want to eat it?"

Monty: "..."

She's feeling a bit confused right now.

Especially knowing that Zhan Xiao was the man who gave him money seven years ago, and even gave him a lot.

"Dumplings, please."

Monty left a comment and then turned and went to the living room, looking somewhat uncomfortable.

To be honest, she's not particularly picky about what she eats.

However, it was just this one sentence.

Next, dumplings became her nightmare!

For half a month... dumplings for breakfast, dumplings for lunch, dumplings for dinner!

Monty suddenly realized.

Zhan Xiao might be stubborn; whatever you say goes. He's inflexible and doesn't know how to change his mind.

On the tenth day, when we made dumplings!

Monty: "Hey bro, could you at least ask what we're eating before you cook each time?"

He wasn't willing to let his aunt do it.

It's like he's worried someone might poison his child.

Even if you're worried about this and that, you can't eat dumplings every day, can you?!

For almost a month before that, we ate glutinous rice balls.

These next ten days are all about dumplings...

If I keep eating like this, I'll start to feel like there's no point in living.

Zhan Xiao: "Hmm?"

Monty: "Do the Zhan family eat the same things every day?"

Zhan Xiao: "That's not it."

"That solves it, doesn't it?"

Shouldn't a happy person eat different things every day?

What's wrong with him? He thinks filling his stomach counts?

Zhan Xiao: "So, what do you want to eat today?"

"Porridge, not the kind you have for breakfast, lunch, dinner, today, tomorrow, or the day after."

Zhan Xiao: "..."

Monty: "I want to eat different things, not the same thing twice."

The dumplings and black sesame glutinous rice balls had already made Monty a little stressed.

She's always been a quiet person.

This time, I decided to say all of it at once.

Fearing that he might have said something inappropriate, he started making porridge again.

Zhan Xiao nodded: "Okay."

……

Chi Xingwei was somewhat surprised to receive a call from Monty complaining.

After all, in her mind, Monty wasn't a gossipy person, and she was very quiet.

I just received a call from Monty complaining about Zhan Xiao.

In particular, Zhan Xiao insisted on cooking.

Not only did they make that, but they also made black sesame dumplings for a month and dumplings for ten days.

Chi Xingwei: "Aren't you sure this won't cause people to have a stress reaction from eating it?"

Monty: "People who aren't picky eaters will definitely develop picky eating habits."

Chi Xingwei: "..."

She agrees!

"Dumplings for breakfast, dumplings for lunch, dumplings for dinner. I've never met someone so single-minded before."

Chi Xingwei: "Hmm, I can see that now, and I've cured your habit of not liking to talk."

Previously, Monty would start fighting at the drop of a hat.

Now I don't do it anymore.

She probably knew that Zhan Xiao's skills were superior to hers and that she couldn't beat him.

But it was truly unexpected that she was able to cure her reluctance to talk.

Monty: "If I let you eat dumplings three times a day, you probably would have eaten even more than I said."

Chi Xingwei: "I don't need three meals a day, I can talk a lot in just one meal."

She doesn't like that food, so I'll definitely stop her from eating it once.

"You're quite the patient one."

Chi Xingwei couldn't help but laugh.

One month of glutinous rice balls, ten days of dumplings!

Didn't she explode while eating the glutinous rice balls?! She has such a good temper.

P.S.: Guess why the Indian guy gave Monty money back then!
