Chapter 17

The phone was handed to Zhou Bai by his secretary, and he was having a meeting at that time.

When the name on the phone displayed “Jian”, his secretary could not discern who that was. The caller was not categorized into the business group nor the friends and family group. It was just one lonely word, “Jian”.

Although Zhou Bai sounded fierce when he picked up the call, his secretary could still sense that something was out of the ordinary.

Once he heard there was a phone call from “Jian”, he put down everything he had at hand to pick up the call. And what was with “I’ll be heading to your place tonight”? And “Wait at home”?

Tsk tsk tsk, something must be up.

Actually, those were just the secretary’s wild thoughts.

Zhou Bai had only gone there to deliver a set of suits to Jian Ci.

When he arrived at Jian Ci’s house, Jian Ci was having his dinner. Six dishes and one soup, all to himself.

Zhou Bai asked, “You’re eating this much?”

“Mm, I’m a little more hungry today,” He was just afraid that this meal would be his last dinner.

Zhou Bai did not feel comfortable watching Jian Ci eat alone in silence. Taking a seat, he said coldly, “I haven’t eaten yet.”

Jian Ci spat out a small braised chicken claw bone before lifting his head and looking at Zhou Bai in surprise. He immediately grabbed a set of bowls and chopsticks for him, “Shall we eat together then?”

Zhou Bai tasted it critically, “Did you make these yourself?”

Jian Ci replied, unshaken, “The braised chicken claw was bought cooked, the shredded pork and bamboo shoots are from the market, the bamboo fungus and pork rib soup are from the restaurant downstairs. Their stews are amazing.”

Zhou Bai, “…”

Who asked you this? You really don’t know how to please someone!
