Chapter 196: Being intimidated

Xu Yang couldn't help but be moved when he saw it.

She really wanted to invite him over for dinner, it wasn't a fake invitation, nor was it just a casual comment.

Xu Yang followed Huo Yanzheng and was lucky enough to see Chu Wan's cooking skills. The dishes made by Chu Wan were as delicious and delicious as a chef's.

Xu Yang has long wanted to try Chu Wan's cooking skills, but he never had the opportunity before. But now, with Chu Wan's sincere and enthusiastic invitation, he should take advantage of the opportunity.

Xu Yang changed his direction towards the door and walked towards the sofa. He tugged his lips and smiled. He was about to agree when he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Huo Yanzheng's cold face.

Immediately, a chill ran down his spine, and a chill ran from bottom to top along his tailbone.

Although Huo Yanzheng sat steadily in the office chair without saying a word, Xu Yang, who had been with Huo Yanzheng for many years, inexplicably understood Huo Yanzheng's unspoken thoughts.

Suddenly, Xu Yang stopped walking towards Chu Wan, tightened his heart, and said unnaturally: "I haven't eaten, but I ordered lunch a long time ago, and it will be delivered in a while, so I don't have to talk to him.

You guys eat together."

Sure enough, when he finished speaking, the imposing pressure from behind moved away, making the heavy feeling in his heart feel much lighter.

Even the lingering low pressure around us is dissipating bit by bit at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Okay." Since Xu Yang has ordered the meal, she can't force it anymore, "It's just a pity that I brought your meal, but you didn't get to taste it."

"It is indeed a pity this time, but there will be another time. When you come back next time, I will definitely not miss it again. I will try your..." cooking skills.

Before he could say all the words, Xu Yang felt a cold gaze that was like a death stare. There was a strong warning hidden in every inch of the gaze, and there was also a fierce aura directed towards his forehead.

Just because of his rejection, he saw Chu Wan showing a disappointed mood, so he couldn't help but be polite and accepted Chu Wan's words naturally.

But he didn't expect that it would arouse the dissatisfaction of the uncertain Huo Yanzheng.

Xu Yang thought that even though he did not have a thorough understanding of Huo Yanzheng's temper, he had figured it out. However, Xu Yang could not tell at the moment whether Huo Yanzheng was jealous or simply paranoid and possessive.

But this did not prevent him from protecting himself wisely: "Madam, what I mean is, let's talk about the next time. I am used to walking alone, and I am also used to eating alone. If there is someone next to me, I will not be used to it.

.”

"You and Mr. Huo just need to eat well. Don't worry about me. I will take care of it myself."

He can handle three meals a day by himself.

He was a loner, and he was used to it.

The aroma of the plates of delicacies placed in the lunch box on the table floated faintly in the air and into his nose, but he could only greedy them and could not touch them. This was a bit torturous.

However, thinking that Huo Yanzheng's anger was something he couldn't ignore, Xu Yang suppressed the greediness that came out of his stomach and tried his best not to lose his composure in front of Chu Wan.

It's a pity that he couldn't taste the plates of delicious food.

It's a pity, Chu Wan is full of sincerity.

"In this case, I won't insist on keeping you." Chu Wan nodded to express understanding, but didn't think much about it. She just felt that everyone has her own habits, and there was no need for her to forcefully change Xu Yang's habits or accommodate her.

Xu Yang must agree to not all the requests she makes.

To be grateful to someone, you have to repay him in the way he likes. Otherwise, even if her words and deeds show kindness to Xu Yang, Xu Yang may not appreciate it.

The alienation on Xu Yang's face faded away, leaving only respect for Chu Wan.

Before Xu Yang could leave, Huo Yanzheng, who was sitting on the office chair, stood up and said, "Secretary Xu has his own arrangements. I'm afraid I won't be lucky enough to taste your cooking, but it doesn't matter. I'll take care of his share."

He tastes it.”

Huo Yanzheng spoke seriously, his eyes full of solemnity.

Xu Yang didn't dare to say anything else, so he hurriedly responded: "Yes, I am not lucky enough to receive this kindness from my wife. However, I am still very grateful to my wife for her kindness. I appreciate it."

After that, Xu Yang didn't stay in the office any longer. He just found an excuse and left the office.

Without Xu Yang, there are only Chu Wan and Huo Yanzheng in the office.

Chu Wan would not feel uncomfortable when two people were alone together. Instead, she opened the lunch box and laid out all the delicacies inside: "I made them all myself, Yan Zheng, you should be able to taste them if you come over and try them.

"

Without Xu Yang as an eyesore, Huo Yanzheng felt very much at ease. He hid the album in the bottom drawer carefully and with great care, and walked to Chu Wan's side.

Under Chu Wan's burning gaze, Huo Yanzheng took a bite of each dish. The taste was familiar and unchanged. He could taste it easily because she made it by herself.

Lunch was spent chatting and laughing between Chu Wan and Huo Yanzheng.

After lunch, Chu Wan left Huo's family.

When she got downstairs, she didn't see Zhao Xitong, so she knew that Zhao Xitong, who was showing all his ugly behavior, should leave.

Standing at the door of Huo's house, Chu Wan took a quick look and saw that the ground was clean and the broken bracelets had long disappeared, as if the unpleasant dispute between her and Zhao Xitong did not exist.

But Chu Wan no longer had time to care about these details. She just got in the car and returned to the Royal Garden.

The devastated Zhao Xitong was not in the mood to go to work for two days in a row. Luo Zhibin not only let her go, but she also couldn't contact him.

To make matters worse, she suddenly received a letter from a lawyer.

When Zhao Xitong suddenly got the lawyer's letter, his whole body was numb, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he was speechless and couldn't say a word.

Why, why did she receive a lawyer's letter?

Zhao Xitong suppressed the irritation in her heart and glanced at the lawyer's letter in her hand. Some things she had deliberately ignored gradually became clear.

The law firm was authorized by Chu Wan to issue this lawyer's letter to Chu Wan.

Chu Wan really didn't miss her old relationship at all. When she asked her to return the items that had been taken away from her, she really didn't allow her to be careless and directly issued a lawyer's letter to her.

They agreed to give her a three-month period, but not even a single day was left for her.

Zhao Xitong was disappointed, his hands holding the lawyer's letter were trembling.

Over the years, so many items have been taken away from Chu Wan that it is obviously unrealistic to repay them one by one. However, if the lost items can be exchanged for cash, needless to say, it will definitely be an expensive compensation.

The compensation was enough to put her off.

Zhao Xitong thought for a moment, and finally, she crumpled the lawyer's letter into a crumpled ball, threw it into the trash can beside her without even looking at it.
