The Hidden Chess Piece (6)

In the kitchen, Ling Tianya was following Zhong Chuchu's directions and was placing the ingredients needed for the soup into the pot one by one.1

"Chuchu, are you sure that these things don't need to be chopped?" Ling Tianya asked.

Zhong Chuchu shook her head, "If you feel that it is too big, you could use your hands to break it apart. Nowadays, most knives are either made with iron or steel and if we use it to chop these ingredients, it will impact their taste."

Ling Tianya nodded, and looked at Zhong Chuchu as if she had just discovered the New World, "I've never heard of this method in the past. Chuchu, you have given me a lesson today."

Zhong Chuchu giggled, "My father specializes in Chinese medicine. I've followed him ever since I was young and have learned many things. Originally, my father wanted me to learn Chinese medicine, but I'm unable to memorize all of the medical names and then gave up. However, I am very sensitive to many ingredients, and thus, I began to explore the kitchen.

"I'm not that great at working with my hands, especially when it comes to cooking. In the past, in order to cook a steak, I almost destroyed the kitchen." Speaking, Ling Tianya shyly laughed, "Luckily, you're here today."

"Young miss, what do you mean? In the future, I will also be here. You can call on me whenever you want to cook. I am willing to teach you." Zhong Chuchu laughed. She felt that all of the people here were great and were all very polite towards her and her father.

"I can't always bother you." Ling Tianya teasingly looked at Zhong Chuchu, "In the future, you will get married. Are you planning to stay in the kitchen forever?"

When she heard about getting married, Zhong Chuchu sighed, "Young Miss, do you think that Du Gang is made of stone? I've already taken the initiative, and he's still hiding from me!"

Seeing Zhong Chuchu worry about love affairs, Ling Tianya mysteriously leaned toward her, "I'll tell you a secret. Du Gang has never dated before. Therefore, right now, he isn't hiding from you but simply doesn't know how to handle you."

"Really!" Zhong Chuchu's eyes were wide, "Du Gang has never dated despite his age?"

"Really." Ling Tianya nodded with certainty.

Zhong Chuchu's eyes began to sparkle, "I've really picked up a gem!"

"En, en." Ling Tianya agreed.

Zhong Chuchu suddenly smiled devilishly, "Since it's like that, then I will put in more effort in my pursuits and will capture this gem, Du Gang!"

"You got this." Ling Tianya pursed her lips and laughed.

In Yuan Teng Corporation, outside of Ruan Zeyan's office, Du Gang, who was standing guard, suddenly sneezed.

Christine handed him a tissue, "Mr. Du, do you have a cold?"

Du Gang took the napkin and wiped his itching nose, "I'm fine. Thank you."

"Oh, okay." After she was done talking, Christine knocked and walked into the office to report to Ruan Zeyan.

At this time, Du Gang once again sneezed.

Zhong Chuchu watched Ling Tianya place the cover on the pot and then said, "Young Miss, can you give me a portion of this soup later?"

"En? You want to drink some?"

"No." Zhong Chuchu shook her head, "I saw that Du Gang was also tired, so I wanted to give him some."

"Okay." Ling Tianya quickly agreed, "I will reserve a portion later. When I bring it to my husband later, I can also give some to Du Gang."

"No, no!" Zhong Chuchu once again shook her head, "I want to bring it to Du Gang personally."

"Do you know the way?" Zhong Chuchu had just recently returned to the country and did not know her way around, "How about this, when I bring the soup, you can accompany me. Is that okay?"
