1874: The Wife Said She Was Addicted?

The Wife Said She Was Addicted?

"I'll go get the bowls and chopsticks."2

Meanwhile, Li Hang wondered if the secretary had seen his text message yet. He went back to the kitchen and called his secretary this time on his mobile phone.

After the call went through, he lowered his voice and said simply, "Go check the text message from me."

The secretary was rather confounded but still silently read Li Hang's text messages.

The breakfast made by Li Hang was inedible. He didn't care; he took three table settings and placed them on the dining table. He felt he had to at least taste the breakfast if his rival made it for him, but this was mainly for research purposes.

When Sheng Yusi took out the exquisite-looking food from the thermos, Li Hang felt as if God was raining malice upon him.

Could this be some take-out food that Sheng Yusi bought at the store?

He could not believe that Sheng Yusi was capable of cooking up such exquisite food.

The crystal shrimp dumplings looked incredibly appetizing with their rich stuffing and crystal clear wrapping.

There was also the barley red bean porridge, which smelled heavenly.

Even the side dishes looked very tasty.

"Professor Sheng. It looks like you know how to cook. I'm hungry just by looking at them; you wouldn't mind if I eat some with you guys, would you?"

Sheng Yusi could never refuse him, especially when he asked nicely.

Sheng Yusi watched as Li Hang put a crystal shrimp dumpling into his mouth.

Li Hang thought that it didn't count if the food only looked appetizing. What mattered was that it tasted good.

When he took the first bite of the crystal shrimp dumpling, it was truly delicious. The skin of the dumpling was particularly tasty, and the shrimp was juicy and fresh.

The ingredients were fresh, so it tasted especially good.

For the first time in his life, he felt powerless.

"It's very tasty."

Sheng Yusi calmly replied, "I like to cook in my spare time. For me, cooking is a new way to destress. In the past, I would cook and eat by myself. It wasn't much fun. What makes me happy nowadays is for Wu Tong to enjoy the food I made. Every time I see Wu Tong enjoying my food, I feel that the cooking was well worth it."

Wu Tong didn't seem to notice the two men arguing. She sat herself down at the dining table.

"Professor Sheng, that's because your cooking is great; I'm addicted to it."

Li Hang almost choked when he heard that; what exactly did she mean by "addicted?"

"Professor Sheng, if you ever make anything delicious again, I would be happy to try it. I am a true foodie. Wu Tong used to do all the cooking, so I'm a novice in the kitchen. I'd probably set the kitchen on fire just by trying to boil water."

Wu Tong glanced at Li Hang and wondered if she detected a faint pride in Li Hang's voice. Did he think that making a mess in the kitchen was something he should be proud of?

Sheng Yusi was not shy. He countered, "Mr. Li. If you live by yourself, then you should learn to take care of yourself."

"Professor Sheng, you're right. I have no experience in this area. I'll ask you for any advice on how single men should live."

Wu Tong had no interest in their argument, so she focused her attention on eating as they kept on arguing and insinuating things about one another.

"Professor Sheng, would you like to come with me to have a look at this new data?"

Sheng Yusi nodded.

Wu Tong and Sheng Yusi began discussing work matters.

Li Hang wanted to listen in on their discussions, but he had no idea about Wu Tong's line of work. He could not understand any of the jargon that Wu Tong used.

He thought that Wu Tong looked exceptionally beautiful when she was concentrating.
