Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

In the end, Chi Shuyan didn’t get Chef Li to send food over. Firstly, this man’s eyes were too intimidating. Secondly, this man was kind enough to cook for her. If she got Chef Li to send food over, wouldn’t that be worse than splashing cold water on him?

It was just eating “poison” occasionally. If it was really bad, she could simply go back to her room and refine a few Fasting Pills right away before swallowing one.

Chi Shuyan waited anxiously in the living room. The man was quick. In half an hour, he had already prepared three dishes and a soup: stir-fried meat with green peppers, stir-fried tomato and eggs, steamed fish, and seaweed egg soup. Further, they looked and smelled good.

Chi Shuyan, who hadn’t had an appetite earlier because of her nerves, was overjoyed when she saw the dishes on the table. While the man was taking off the apron, she ladled out some rice, only realizing now that he had cooked not only porridge, but also spirit rice.

She liked porridge, but she ladled out rice for the man. Because it was too boring, there was also a TV in the dining room. Chi Shuyan turned it on, and it just so happened to be broadcasting a variety show.

Chi Shuyan had watched this variety show before. It was fun and happy in both name and content, and Chi Shuyan watched it as she ate. She had initially been afraid that since this man was cooking for the first time, there was no guarantee what the food would taste like. Who would have thought that these dishes would unexpectedly taste quite good?

Although it couldn’t compare with an imperial chef’s cooking, it was really tastier than ordinary home-cooked dishes.

Chi Shuyan had a very good appetite. She ate as she watched the variety show. There were a few times when it was too funny, and she almost spat out the porridge.

The man in front of her, on the other hand, only glanced at the variety show every now and then. He was still unsmiling and serious, making him seem very distant and unlike the person who had cooked earlier.

“Do you want to watch the news? I’ll switch channels for you.” Seeing that the man wasn’t interested, Chi Shuyan planned to change the channel.

Qi Zhenbai tossed the remote control to the side and said indifferently, “No need, this show is pretty good!”

After saying that, the man really looked up and watched seriously. However, his expression was very serious as he watched this sort of funny show. His face was taut and his eyebrows were knitted together. He didn’t smile and his thin lips were pursed tightly, as if someone had provoked him.

The man’s expression amused her. Gradually, Chi Shuyan switched to looking at the man’s face in front of her, his expression more attractive to her than a variety show.

Since the man had cooked, Chi Shuyan took the initiative to wash the dishes after the meal.

Qi Zhenbai didn’t plan to let his wife wash the dishes and dirty her hands. He put the dishes in the dishwasher in the kitchen, then came out and sat on the couch to continue watching the variety show with his wife.

But the variety show ended not long after.

Chi Shuyan couldn’t be bothered to switch channels to see if there were any other good shows on. Perhaps the matter of Zhou Manqing’s tragic death and how she had been replaced for three years had blown up too much today, but after a few ads, the channel started reporting on Zhou Manqing’s tragic death.

For some reason, looking at the news on Zhou Manqing and Zhou Manning, Chi Shuyan felt a little guilty. She hadn’t specifically explained it to this man. He thought that she had obediently stayed in the apartment the whole afternoon, and she hadn’t been forthcoming with him. For a moment, Chi Shuyan felt a little guilty and didn’t dare look at the cold face of the man next to her.

She felt that this man had already known earlier about Zhou Manning being arrested; after all, this matter had blown up. Thinking of this man’s inexplicably cold face earlier, she felt that he was most likely angry with her!

At that moment, the man’s deep and magnetic voice suddenly rang out. “Nothing to say?”
