The Long-awaited Mr Han

She looked so pitiful, and even her voice sounded especially pitiful, which was just too cute.

Han Zhuoling felt the urge to pat her head, but it was a pity he could not.

When Shi Xiaoya raised her head again, her face had already reddened.

Han Zhuoling's heart shuddered when he saw how she looked, and he secretly clutched his heart.

Shi Xiaoya's face was burning red. She tried her best to think of something to say to relieve her of her awkwardness.

Finally, she remembered something. "Young Master Ling, you called me because—?"

"Oh," Han Zhuoling replied plainly, "I just wanted to ask you, do you need to work tomorrow?"

"Mm." Shi Xiaoya nodded. "I need to go to my workplace tomorrow to finish up my work quickly. I will be going to the Survivor's production team on Sunday, you see, to prepare for the filming of the next episode."

"Sunday?" Han Zhuoling asked.

"Yeah. I'll go over one day in advance to prepare, and the filming officially starts on Monday," Shi Xiaoya explained. "I won't be able to finish the work at my workplace during the course of the filming in the next few days, so I need to go to my workplace to rush it out before packing my things to bring over to the production unit."

Shi Xiaoya did not know why Han Zhuoling asked her that, but she felt that out of courtesy, she should probably ask Han Zhuoling as well, or else the conversation would end abruptly.

"What about you, Young Master Ling? Do you need to work tomorrow?" Shi Xiaoya asked.

Han Zhuoling just replied, "Mm. I'm going to the company tomorrow."

After saying that, Han Zhuoling had a feeling that he seemed to be reporting his schedule to Shi Xiaoya.

However, he was not averse to this feeling.

"Then the tie…" Shi Xiaoya remembered that Han Zhuoling did not reply to her earlier about what to do with the tie.

"I'll go and take it from your place tomorrow," Han Zhuoling said.

"You're coming to my place tomorrow?" Shi Xiaoya asked, startled.

"Is it not convenient for you?" Han Zhuoling asked.

"Nope, nope." Shi Xiaoya quickly shook her head. "It's not inconvenient."

She then asked, "Around what time will you be coming tomorrow? I'll probably stay at work for much of the day tomorrow and should be able to end earlier in the afternoon."

Shi Xiaoya thought in her heart that she had already hinted she would stay in her workplace for quite a long while, so the most convenient way would be for Han Zhuoling to go directly to her workplace.

Hence, Shi Xiaoya tested the waters and suggested, "Why don't I bring the tie to my workplace?"

Han Zhuoling did not reply to what she just said. "Tomorrow night it is. I'll go to your house after I'm done with work."

Shi Xiaoya: "…"

She just felt that there was something strange somehow.

Shi Xiaoya had yet to wrap her head around it when Han Zhuoling said, "The noodles you made tonight were pretty good."

Shi Xiaoya was still thinking that he had already praised her once when he was eating the noodles tonight.

Afterward, Han Zhuoling's voice sounded again. "Since there's time tomorrow, prepare a few main dishes."

Shi Xiaoya: "…"

What… What's going on?

How did the topic change to meals?

And when did she say she was going to cook?

"You can list out a menu. If you lack any ingredients at home, I can drop by the supermarket on my way to your house tomorrow to bring it over," Han Zhuoling continued.

Shi Xiaoya: "…"

She never said she was going to cook for him!

Wasn't he just going to take his tie back?

Seeing that Shi Xiaoya did not reply, Han Zhuoling spoke again. "If you don't want to make a menu, I will just buy what I like."

Shi Xiaoya had already given up struggling. She really had to give it to this man for talking as if he was talking to himself and sealing the deal at the end.

"Alright, then. You can see what you want to eat and buy it. I'll cook it for you when you bring it back," Shi Xiaoya said in defeat.
