Hearing this, Jiang Cheng feigned a look of disappointment.
"If that's not possible, then how am I supposed to put out this fire? Sigh... don't tell me I have to let someone else benefit."
Before Jiang Cheng could finish his sentence, Yu Xiaoxiao gently nudged his chest with her shoulder and said coquettishly, "No way, how could you let someone else benefit? I want it myself~~"
After letting out a few soft moans, Yu Xiaoxiao gently leaned to the side.
She leaned her head toward Jiang Cheng, her eyes revealing a hint of anticipation and shyness.
Looking at Yu Xiaoxiao's exquisite face and rosy lips, Jiang Cheng's heart skipped a beat.
However, Yu Xiaoxiao didn't make him wait for long.
She slowly approached Jiang Cheng and then gently kissed his lips... An hour later, Yu Xiaoxiao reheated the food.
Although she complained that Jiang Cheng hadn't tasted her cooking first, causing it to get cold...
...the upward curve of her lips still revealed her inner joy and satisfaction.
It was clear she was very satisfied with the moisture-removing exercise Jiang Cheng had just performed with her.
Jiang Cheng was also feeling very comfortable and refreshed as he said, "Come, let me see just how powerful your tonic soup is."
Yu Xiaoxiao gave Jiang Cheng a playful glare, then immediately and happily picked up a bowl to serve him some soup.
She blew on it to cool it down before carefully handing it to Jiang Cheng.
She said excitedly, "Try it and see how it is. I got up at seven to prepare it. It has bull whip in it; I bought it fresh from the market. When I was... never mind, I won't describe the rest of the scene to you, but it's very nourishing. Drink up."
Seeing the anticipation in Yu Xiaoxiao's eyes, Jiang Cheng picked up the bowl and began to drink slowly.
After finishing the soup, Jiang Cheng smacked his lips and let out a satisfied sigh.
He nodded and praised, "Mmm~~ This is the best soup I've ever had, bar none. Not only is there no strange aftertaste, but my body suddenly feels warm after drinking it, especially in that place you like most; it's very comfortable."
Seeing Jiang Cheng's satisfied expression, Yu Xiaoxiao's lips curled into a wide smile.
Her eyes sparkled with a gentle light, as if the success of this one bowl of soup had brightened her whole world.
"That's good. You're always busy with work, so you need to take care of your health. Wait, how do you know which place I like most?"
After being nourished, Yu Xiaoxiao looked as radiant as a freshly bloomed flower.
Her entire being radiated a gentle and delicate aura.
"Aside from your mouth, isn't that what you like most every time we meet? You think I don't know?"
"You're talking nonsense, I do not."
She laughed as she placed food into Jiang Cheng's bowl—just simple dishes like stir-fried eggs with tomatoes, sautéed pork, pan-fried yellow croaker, and a plate of stir-fried greens.
But Jiang Cheng felt the warmth of a home.
Seeing Yu Xiaoxiao's virtuous and kind demeanor, he couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion; he suddenly felt that he hadn't been good enough to her.
A woman this good, even if she weren't with him, would surely have many good men who would cherish her and treat her like a precious treasure.
At this moment, a thought sprouted in his heart once again.
This thought was exactly the same as the one he had when Little Xia gave him her blessings a couple of days ago.
He wished he could go back to the first day of his rebirth.
That day was also the day he first met Yu Xiaoxiao.
That day was his first time, and it was also Yu Xiaoxiao's first time.
If he could go back to that day, he felt that he definitely wouldn't have any contact with Qiao Yinyin, Wang Yuyan, Zhou Ying, Xia Meng, or even Lin Qingxue.
Looking at the virtuous Yu Xiaoxiao, the idea of growing old together with her even sprouted in Jiang Cheng's mind.
Although he had entertained the thought of marrying two different women within a single week...
...these were his most genuine thoughts at those specific moments.
When he received Little Xia's blessing for a long life, Jiang Cheng truly wanted to be with such a good woman in a simple way.
And now, he truly felt a completely different emotion for Yu Xiaoxiao.
Jiang Cheng really wanted to tell Yu Xiaoxiao that he would stay with her and only her for the rest of his life.
But the words stopped at the tip of his tongue.
Because there are no "ifs" in life... Jiang Cheng knew he couldn't return to the past, and now, there were too many people who needed his nourishment.
Jiang Cheng reached out and affectionately stroked Yu Xiaoxiao's cheek, saying softly, "You should eat too. Don't work too hard; take a break once in a while and just leave the company matters to others."
Looking at the tenderness in Jiang Cheng's eyes, Yu Xiaoxiao was momentarily dazed.
This look was too different from Jiang Cheng's usual self.
But she soon broke into a smile. "How could I do that? You trust me so much to let me manage the company; I naturally can't betray that trust. I have to keep a close eye on things for you."
Yu Xiaoxiao drew a clear line between work and her private life.
She didn't use her private status as a special leverage at all.
Although she truly felt Jiang Cheng's kindness and affection for her...
...she also understood that to stay by Jiang Cheng's side long-term, they needed more than just mutual feelings; she also needed to have her own value.
Even if Jiang Cheng didn't leave her, he would eventually get married one day.
And the person he married would surely be someone of equal social standing.
She loved Jiang Cheng deeply, but she was also aware of the gap between them.
She was just an ordinary girl, while Jiang Cheng was an extraordinary scion of a wealthy family.
Their relationship might not lead to anything permanent.
But even so, she was willing to stay by Jiang Cheng's side for as long as she could.
Yu Xiaoxiao knew she couldn't rely solely on Jiang Cheng's feelings to maintain her position.
She needed to rely on her own efforts to prove her worth.
She hoped to become a better person so that she could be worthy of Jiang Cheng's love.
She hoped to achieve something during her time with Jiang Cheng and help him to the best of her ability.
That way, when Jiang Cheng thought of her in the future, he might have more memories and even a higher opinion of her.
While the two were eating lunch in harmony, a wechat message suddenly popped up on Jiang Cheng's phone on the table.
Having received no alert from his Danger Perception Skill, Jiang Cheng naturally picked up the phone to check.
The wechat message was from a manager at Ferrari.
Jiang Cheng glanced at it and immediately remembered.
The Ferrari laferrari he had purchased had finally arrived and was currently parked at the delivery location he had previously specified.
He had to admit, luxury cars were a pain.
It had taken so long to deliver that Jiang Cheng had almost forgotten the car existed.
In the meantime, he had already bought several other cars.
