Her kitchen almost burned down, but his mood improved, which was really strange.
She didn't want to waste any more words with him, so she picked up the phone.
He raised his hand to stop him. "What are you doing?"
"I'll call Chen Wunan and suggest we meet at a restaurant instead!" Shan'er said, wary of whether Zhang Boxuan was up to some trick again.
"No!" he stopped again.
"Why?"
Because then he wouldn't be able to face off against Chen Wunan!
He had a sudden inspiration and came up with a method—
"You're so clumsy, let me help you!"
"You'll help me?" Did she hear me correctly?
"Watch me!"
Without further ado, he immediately rolled up his sleeves, opened the refrigerator with a serious expression, and pondered what menu to come up with. Meanwhile, Shan'er, standing to the side, couldn't react for a long time. She wondered if Zhang Boxuan was planning to poison her and Chen Wunan all at once!

Chapter Seven: "You're Ruthless!" Author: Su Yun
Zhang Boxuan was really going to cook! He put on Siwa's apron and started looking for ingredients in the refrigerator.
"Siwa must be a good cook; she has lots of fresh ingredients in her fridge."
Shan'er rarely cooks, so frankly, she doesn't know much about what's in the kitchen.
"The steak's burnt and inedible, so I'll just have to use..." He found some cod in the freezer and said happily, "I'll make cod steak then!"
He immediately took action, washing and cutting the food into pieces, and then marinating it briefly with spices to enhance the flavor.
Shan'er followed behind him, pacing back and forth. He couldn't help but raise his thick eyebrows and ask, "What? Don't you trust me?"
"I'm afraid you'll poison me," she answered without hesitation.
"Only a genius could come up with this!" He brandished the kitchen knife at her. "I did intend to take this opportunity to tamper with the dishes and add some other 'good stuff'."
"How disgusting!" Shan'er didn't need to ask to know what he meant by "good stuff".
Seeing his appearance as a stay-at-home husband, she was inexplicably captivated by the radiance he exuded.
What kind of man would cook for a woman?
Lost in thought, she seemed to see the most beautiful scene in the world: he was preparing dinner for his wife, Xuande, and Xuanling, and the family was happily eating around the table. But the woman beside him was not her...
For no apparent reason, her heart clenched violently.
"Don't just stand there motionless, go get the French bread and garlic sauce from the fridge, spread the sauce on the bread first, then put it on the grill!" His movements were precise and quick, and the aroma was already wafting from the pan.
"You want a Western-style dinner?"
"Don't tell me you're only realizing it now!" he scoffed.
She glanced at the clock on the wall; time was indeed running out.
Soon, with the two working together, fine wine and delicacies were laid out on the table. If there were roses to decorate it, the atmosphere would rival that of a high-end restaurant!
Looking at the fragrant dishes on the table, her mood improved.
"I never expected your cooking to be so good!"
"I don't show off casually unless necessary." He said meaningfully, glancing at her sideways.
"Necessary? That's truly rare! This meal is being cooked personally by the esteemed Dean Zhang Boxuan of Changyuan Hospital!"
"I'm afraid you'll embarrass yourself and be embarrassed in front of Chen Wunan!" He just smiled, not caring about her sarcasm.
She knew she was at a disadvantage in front of him this time, but she still wouldn't hold back her words.
"Thank you, 'father of the child'!" She tiptoed and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Mr. Chen will be here in ten minutes, please leave quickly! Thank you this time."
Just as she was about to back away, he reached out and grabbed her slender waist, preventing her from leaving.
"Let me go!" Her almond-shaped eyes widened, both shocked and angry.
"No! I don't want to let you go!" He lowered his head. "Didn't you just say you wanted to thank me? This is the best way to repay you."
He finally did what he'd wanted to do to her the moment he walked in the door!
She tried to turn her head away, but his eyes seemed to be under a spell, rendering her unable to move, and he sealed her lips with his.
A tiny spark ignited, and it blazed into a raging fire. He kissed her passionately, and Shan'er's passion was aroused by him, the heat spreading around them. His large hands roamed between her breasts, and her soft little hands couldn't help but slip inside his shirt to touch them.
At this moment, Shan'er opened her sleepy eyes and suddenly realized what they were doing, so she quickly pushed him away—
"Let me go!" Her voice was still weak and feeble.
