Suddenly seeing Jiang Yiyi like this, Liu Zixuan didn't have the heart to blame her anymore.

He chuckled, "Cooking is the same as anything else; there are no shortcuts, you can only take it one step at a time."

"I don't have a master to teach me, I can only figure it out myself!" Jiang Yiyi pouted, completely devoid of her lady-like demeanor, looking just like a slightly upset little wife!

Seeing Jiang Yiyi's womanly demeanor, Liu Zixuan couldn't help but sit beside her, holding her delicate hand and comforting her, "It's not your fault, it's all mine for not thinking it through!"

"Exactly, it's your fault!" Jiang Yiyi gave Liu Zixuan a light hit, then called out towards the bathroom, "Doudou, come out, it's Liu Zixuan's fault! He should treat you to dinner tonight!"

"Alright, alright!" Doudou jumped out immediately, but then became disappointed, "I'm afraid tonight won't work!"

"Why?" Liu Zixuan asked.

Jiang Yiyi slapped her forehead, "Look at me, I almost forgot the main thing!"

Then Jiang Yiyi said to Liu Zixuan, "Wu Mei came to find you yesterday evening, telling you to go to her."

"Wu Mei? What does she want with me?" Liu Zixuan asked.

"I'm not sure of the specifics, but I heard that Wu Mei seems to be quitting the stage of Ghost Wood City." Jiang Yiyi pouted, "Sometimes I don't get it, Wu Mei is like a real queen, high and mighty, isn't that better? Why does she have to fade from people's view?"

Wu Mei wants to leave the business world?

Liu Zixuan was somewhat shocked to hear this news. Although Wu Mei had mentioned in passing before that she was tired of her current life, stepping down from that high position isn't something that can be done just like that. Liu Zixuan thought it would take a few more years, but he didn't expect the news to come so suddenly!

"So tonight you definitely have to have dinner with her, and I'll…"

Just as Jiang Yiyi said this, Doudou interrupted, "No way I'll eat egg fried rice again!"

"Haha!"

Jiang Yiyi couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Don't worry, I won't make you taste anything I haven't mastered yet. Tonight, I'm treating you to dinner to make up for the little injustices you've suffered these days!"

"Yiyi, you're the best!" Doudou joyfully ran over and planted a kiss on Jiang Yiyi's cheek.

Jiang Yiyi gave Liu Zixuan a push, "What are you dawdling for? Hurry up, she's about to leave, and as her…"

"Stop it, Wu Mei and I are just simple friends!" Liu Zixuan immediately cut off Jiang Yiyi's words.

Though Wu Mei is indeed great, Liu Zixuan has a unique quirk, or rather a complex, not wanting to be involved with women who have been married or have had other men.

So as for Wu Mei, Liu Zixuan merely sees her as an elder sister, a friend with whom he can chat freely!

Jiang Yiyi chuckled, "Men, they're like that; what's wrong with being married? Married women have even more charm!"

"I just like buds that are about to blossom like you!" Liu Zixuan playfully smiled.

"Oh, no, more dog food to eat without realizing it!" Doudou stuck out her tongue at the two, "The most annoying thing is people like you who show off your love anytime, anywhere."

"You little rascal, let's see if I don't catch you!" Jiang Yiyi said as she chased after Doudou.

Liu Zixuan shook his head helplessly, muttering, "These two treasures!"

After speaking, Liu Zixuan picked up his car keys and left the apartment.

As soon as he got in the car, his phone rang.

"Zixuan, are you back?" It was Zhao Yi calling.

"Just got back for a bit! What's up?" Liu Zixuan asked.

"Perfect timing, come over to Treasure Hall, Master Zhou wants to talk to you."

"Now? But Wu Mei asked me to go to her first!"

Before Zhao Yi could speak, the phone was snatched away by Zhou Crazy, who yelled curses, "You heartless rascal, back and not coming to see your father-in-law first, always thinking about Wu Mei, what's wrong with you!"

"Uncle Zhou, enough! I was just going to your daughter's first, how could I possibly go to you first!"

"Damn, hurting your father-in-law like this?" Zhou Crazy paused, "I can't be bothered to argue, just come over, I'll be going to Wu Mei's shortly too!"

"You're going too?"

"What? You think you're so hot, Ghost Wood City's big shot? You think Wu Mei only invites you and not me? I'm the Sect Leader of Mind Gate, the Shopkeeper of Treasure Hall!"

"You're amazing, you're awesome, you're shoulder to shoulder with the sun!" Liu Zixuan cursed, directly hanging up the phone. This old rascal, such a mouth truly doesn't spare anyone!

Starting the car, he headed straight to Treasure Hall.

...

Inside Treasure Hall's office.

Liu Zixuan was seated on a chair, while Zhou Crazy stood in front of him, chin in hand, closely scrutinizing Liu Zixuan.

Since he came in, it's been like this, not knowing what Zhou Crazy is up to!

Zhou Nian came in from outside and placed tea on the table, asking, "Zixuan, what's my dad up to?"

Liu Zixuan shrugged, "Who knows? Probably thinks I'm too handsome, he feels inferior but doesn't want to admit it!"

"Nonsense!"

Zhou Crazy contemptuously glanced at Liu Zixuan, "I'm observing you!"

"Observing me?"

"Liu Zixuan, I conclude you've been involved with a woman these past two days! Right or not?" Zhou Crazy spoke very seriously.

Liu Zixuan's heart skipped a beat, how did this old guy see through it? Maybe he's bluffing!

He quickly shook his head, "Wrong!"

"Impossible."

Zhou Crazy said, "I remember before you left Ghost Wood City, you still had a few pimples on your face, clearly due to kidney heat. But now the pimples are gone, not to mention your eyes are sharp, and you look exhausted. These past two days you must have been in Celestial Capital seeing other women behind my daughter's back!"

Holy watermelon!

Liu Zixuan immediately cursed, "A pimple means what? And do you think I'm like you, buried in dirt till the neck with dead fish eyes? I've been driving all day, can I not be tired?"

"Really didn't?"

"Even if I did, Zhou Nian hasn't said anything, what are you yapping about!" Liu Zixuan said disgruntledly.

Zhou Crazy squinted his eyes in silence for a while, then said to Zhou Nian, "This kid probably didn't lie. Nian, he seems quite reliable!"

"What does this have to do with anything!" Zhou Nian blushed, "Dad, can you not be so improper every day? Wouldn't it be better to do something decent?"

"I'm helping you find out about him since you've been thinking about him every day. If he wasn't thinking of you and was fooling around outside, I'd pick up my three-meter-long saber and finish him!"
