After that family left in a hurry, silence finally fell upon the house.

It was so quiet that only the sounds of breathing could be heard.

He Xiyan slammed the door shut and locked it, afraid that they might visit again.

She dragged Ye Hao to the sofa and went to take an ice cube from the refrigerator, then carefully used a handkerchief to wrap it. The ice cube was extremely cold and her hands were frozen stiff as she held it.

Use this first. She gently pressed the handkerchief that contained the ice cube to Ye Haos cheek. Her heart suddenly ached, as though an insect had bitten it.

This was all her fault. She had caused so much trouble and he even came all the way here only to end up getting into a fight because of her. His face was swollen and she could even see bruises under his neck.

Does it hurt? She asked in a small voice as tears clouded her eyes.

What do you think? Ye Hao glanced at her with a scowl.

He was secretly pleased and even delighted to know that this woman was concerned about him. He could see the remorse and concern in her eyes when she looked at him. If she was concerned about him, does that mean that she was falling for him too?

Im sorry! He Xiyan bit her lips and under the lamplight, her face turned red, then white as she felt even more guilty.

Ye Hao coughed softly then reached out to pat the back of her head.

Are you dumb? That man was so scrawny and looks just like an ungrateful, unfaithful person. Did your brain stop functioning? How could you fall for a man like that? That man looked like a boy toy and he was willing to bet that he only looked good on the outside but could barely function in bed.

How could this woman

Ye Hao kept his criticism to himself but he could not stop jealousy from coursing through his body and his teeth ached from holding it all back.

He Xiyan turned her face away. As he spouted those nonsensical words, she felt her heart ache and at the same time, she felt dejected.

Ill go cook something to eat. She rose to her feet and headed into the kitchen.

Ye Hao finally remembered that his mother was still waiting for him to bring He Xiyan home for dinner. He frowned and ultimately decided against heading home. If he showed up in this state, his mother would definitely kick up a huge fuss.

Mum, Ill be having dinner over at He Xiyans place and will only return home later. Please dont wait up for us to have dinner. He called his mother to notify her, keeping his words concise and brief.

Soon, Xia Jingshus voice could be heard berating him, Look here, this is all your fault. I told you to go invite her earlier, but now, she has probably finished cooking. Anyway, you should sleep somewhere else tonight. Dont come back.

Xia Jingshu hung up and no one knew that at that moment, a broad smile had spread across her face.

He Xiyan had finished cooking and whipped up three simple dishes Kung Pao chicken, Yuxiang shredded pork and a bowl of egg soup.

As someone who was born in a village, she had started doing all sorts of household chores from a young age and was a good cook. Naturally, the food she cooked was delicious and were authentic home-cooked dishes.

Ye Hao ate most of the food heartily. After tasting her food, eating his mothers cooking seemed extremely bland.

He Xiyan, what is your monthly salary? He suddenly asked the woman. She had been eating very slowly, keeping her head bowed as she ate.

He Xiyan looked up and blinked in confusion, baffled by Ye Haos question.

If I give you the same salary, would you quit your job and be my personal chef? He asked excitedly.

Inwardly, he told himself that there was no way he would give her a salary. The perfect solution was to marry her, then he would be able to eat her cooking every day.
