Was the man a scumbag who tricked her into marriage? A powerful man brought his child to her door de

His body heat lingered on his suit, exuding a strong, mature masculine aura that subtly provoked, creating an atmosphere of ambiguity.

Yan Xuxu looked up at his back.

With a wide waist and narrow hips, her body proportions are impeccable.

His perfectly tailored physique and defined abs speak volumes about how powerful this man is.

With that glance, she remembered him pressing down on her last night, calling her "Zhizhi" in a gentle yet hoarse voice, leaving a mark on her body with each call.

Yan Xuxu's body suddenly felt hot.

He realized that her mind was full of lewd nonsense.

Yan Xuxu was both ashamed and angry. She hurriedly threw her suit aside, grabbed the water on the coffee table, and gulped down several mouthfuls.

How desperate is she for a man!

He was actually having all sorts of fantasies about Jie Lanyuan!

Jie Lanyuan had already entered the kitchen, his shirt sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing his muscular forearms.

He prepared all the kitchen supplies, including grains, oils, rice, and noodles. He found the place for the rice and noodles with ease, took out the rice, and put it into the rice cooker to cook.

After that, he opened the refrigerator and took out the ingredients he needed to make the dish.

With everything ready, he tied on his apron and started cooking.

Yan Xuxu tried to force herself not to pay attention to him, but her eyes just couldn't help glancing towards the kitchen.

Seeing him standing in front of the stove wearing a pink apron, Yan Xuxu should have been smiling, but she felt very annoyed.

She was especially annoyed by his occasional smiles as he turned back to her.

Knowing she couldn't get rid of him, Yan Xuxu simply took out her phone to play games, trying to distract herself from him.

Soon, the fragrant aroma of rice wafted from the kitchen.

Yan Xuxu was distracted while playing the game, and the aroma of food made her stomach rumble, so she lost her appetite and put her phone aside to lie down.

With a "ding," a WeChat message popped up on my phone.

She scooped it up and opened it.

It was a voice message sent by Zhou Li'an.

I reported the new technology to her.

[Senior, there's still no progress on the new technology. I've sent you the progress report. By the way, will you be coming to the company tomorrow?]

Yan Xuxu was too lazy to type, so she replied with a voice message: "Okay, thank you for your help. I'll have to check the situation tomorrow; it's highly unlikely I'll be going."

There's no longer any need to go to Ming'an Group.

She waited for the results of her peer verification to come out before going back to retrieve her medical books.

I'll resign while I'm at it.

Zhou Li'an's tone held a slight hint of disappointment: "That's alright, I'll wait for my senior to come."

Thinking about how Zhou Li'an liked her, Yan Xuxu felt it was necessary to make things clear to him.

After all, Zhou Li'an had been a great help to her in this patent competition.

If you don't like someone, there's no need to give them hope.

She carefully considered her words, trying not to hurt him, and said in a tactful tone: "Xiao An, you are very capable and come from a good family. There's no need for you to compromise yourself for this small place in Ming An for anyone."

Zhou Li'an did not reply for a long time.

I'm not sure if he was busy or if his words hurt him.

Yan Xuxu didn't say anything more, put down her phone and looked towards the kitchen.

It was unclear what dishes Jie Lanyuan had prepared, but the living room was filled with the aroma of food.

Yan Xuxu was really hungry. She pursed her lips, and her stomach growled even louder.

Suppressing the urge to rush into the kitchen and sneak a bite, she drank another glass of water to calm her hunger.

When Xie Lanyuan brought out the dishes, he saw her chugging water. He smiled and said, "Wash your hands, then you can eat."

Yan Xuxu remained seated.

If he goes over as soon as he calls, wouldn't it make it seem like she really enjoys his cooking?

She also cares about her image.

Seeing that she didn't move, Jie Lanyuan took a few steps closer to her. "Do you need me to carry you?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Xuxu quickly stood up and went to the bathroom to wash her hands, then obediently sat down at the dining table.

He only cooks simple, home-style dishes.

Stir-fried tomatoes and eggs, braised prawns, stir-fried garlic sprouts with cured pork, and a seaweed, tofu, and egg soup.

The dishes looked ordinary, but his excellent cooking skills made them incredibly appetizing.

Yan Xuxu was already starving, so she picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

Jie Lanyuan also untied his apron and sat down opposite her. "You don't usually cook?"

The food in the refrigerator was all prepared by him a few days ago.

It hasn't been touched much at all.

Yan Xuxu did cook, but she couldn't eat too much by herself.

In addition, he bought too much food, and she couldn't finish it all in two weeks.

She didn't speak, so Xie Lanyuan took the initiative to put food on her plate, saying, "You're so thin, eat more."

He took the plate of shrimp over and patiently began peeling them.

His hands were long and slender with distinct knuckles, much like an artist's hands.

What should have been an ordinary action, after his meticulous peeling and deveining of the shrimp, resembled the careful carving of an exquisite work of art.

Yan Xuxu is allergic to seafood, but only to crabs.

She really loves shrimp.

She's just too lazy to cook, so everyone assumed she couldn't eat shrimp either.

At first glance, Yan Xuxu couldn't look away, and even stopped picking up food with her chopsticks.

Even she herself didn't realize how gentle her eyes were.

"Am I really that good-looking?"

Suddenly a hand waved in front of her eyes.

When Yan Xuxu came to her senses, she realized that Xie Lanyuan had already peeled a plate of shrimp and pushed it in front of her.

A knowing smile played on his lips.

He was clearly very pleased with the lingering look in her eyes.

"Who's looking at you? Stop being so narcissistic." Yan Xuxu quickly picked up some food to cover up her guilty conscience, but her eyes didn't dare to linger on him for even half a second.

She was actually distracted by Xie Lanyuan.

They were caught red-handed.

If there were a hole in the ground right now, Yan Xuxu would really like to crawl into it.

Xie Lanyuan personally fed her the peeled shrimp, his tone casual, "You stared at me for a full thirty seconds."

"I don't."

Yan Xuxu denied it and pushed him away.

Her eyes darted around, finally settling on the ornaments on the cabinet behind him. She pointed at them and said matter-of-factly, "I'm looking at the handsome guy in the photo."

In the few days since she moved in, Yan Xuxu hadn't noticed the photo frame in this corner.

It must have been left here by the previous owner when they moved.

The photo shows a teenager sitting at a piano, playing a suit and bow tie. He is handsome and has clear features. He is probably participating in some kind of competition.

Upon hearing this, Xie Lanyuan turned his head and looked over, his face instantly darkening.

He took a napkin to wipe his hands, then casually took the picture frame off and tossed it into the nearby trash can like a ball.

With a loud crash, the picture frame was submerged in the trash can.

Yan Xuxu was infuriated by his arbitrary behavior and stood up abruptly. "These are my things, what right do you have to do this?"

Putting aside the fact that this belongs to someone else.

Even if it doesn't belong to someone else, why should he just throw it away?

"Is he as handsome as me?"

She was furious, but when she suddenly heard his retort, she couldn't help but laugh in anger. "Are you sick? Go see a doctor if you're sick!"

The current topic is that he shouldn't have thrown other people's things away.

But instead, he got caught up in who was more handsome.

Yan Xuxu truly felt like she was talking to a brick wall.

"You're a doctor, you heal me." Xie Lanyuan pushed back his chair, stood up, took a few steps to her side, grabbed her hand and pressed it to his chest.
