To know, Lin Xi's fear of takeout wasn't there when she was abroad.

It only developed after returning home and finding hair in her food.

"Thank you, David, I'm not hungry right now. I'll eat later." Lin Xi said politely.

"How can that be? It'll get cold soon."

"It's fine, I have a microwave here."

"Alright then."

"Do you have anything else?" Lin Xi looked at David.

"Oh...no, well, Boss Lin, you keep busy. I'll head out now." David understood Lin Xi's underlying message.

It was, after all, late at night.

If David stayed in the office too long, it would inevitably lead to gossip.

If that petty guy found out, he'd be in trouble.

Even though that guy might be enjoying himself somewhere at that time.

But Lin Xi still subtly issued an eviction notice.

David left the office.

But a sinister smile appeared on his face.

"Asking me to leave? I bet you'll be begging me to come in soon." David Steve wasn't in a hurry at all.

He leisurely walked downstairs.

Little did he know.

As he walked out of the office, he was being watched by a pair of eyes.

The owner of the eyes was none other than Su Chen.

He saw with his own eyes David Steve carrying food into Lin Xi's office.

The good thing was, he only stayed for less than two minutes before leaving.

The intention couldn't be more obvious.

Obviously trying to poach his corner.

What a bold move, huh?

But, Lin Xi actually accepted it, which made him rather unhappy.

After all, he put a lot of thought into making that meal for Lin Xi.

He went to Lin Xi's office.

Pushed the door open, only to find the office empty.

It seemed Lin Xi had gone to the bathroom.

Sure enough, there was food on the desk.

Su Chen didn't say a word, just placed his own food and took away that golden retriever's meal.

He thought, since he hadn't been home for so long, Lin Xi was probably mad at him.

Might not eat the food he cooked.

By the way, he also wanted to see if Lin Xi would eat the meal brought by that golden retriever.

So, he quietly took the golden retriever's meal and left.

Planning to come back later to see.

Where did Su Chen go after he left?

Of course, he went downstairs and fed the golden retriever's meal to the dog.

The security guard happened to have a golden retriever.

Watching the golden retriever eating happily.

Su Chen trotted back upstairs.

Lin Xi came out of the bathroom.

Looked at the food on the table.

She didn't really feel like eating it.

As the saying goes, accept a man's gift with short hands, eat his food with a soft mouth.

But, when she opened the bag.

She found out, it was all her favorite dishes.

Plus, it smelled so good.

"No, no, Lin Xi, you can't be tempted by food."

"But I'm so hungry, and it smells so good..."

In the end, Lin Xi's stomach betrayed her without any backbone.

She picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

It was really delicious.

Even better than her aunt's cooking.

Never expected David Steve to be so good at cooking.

Handsome, talented, gentlemanly, and such good cooking skills.

This man really had no flaws.

Lin Xi couldn't help but think of Su Chen.

That annoying guy.

His cooking wasn't bad, but he was idle all the time, never came to work on time in the months he was at the company.

Now, he just vanished without a trace.

Months without any news.

If it weren't for him sending her a message before leaving.

She might have called the police.

Lin Xi wasn't unaware of David Steve's pursuit of her.

But since she was already married to Su Chen, no matter how outstanding David Steve was, she had to refuse.

But the more outstanding David Steve was, the more unwilling she felt.

Why did she end up with such a weirdo of a husband?

He disappeared exactly when she needed him most.

Forget it, she decided not to think about him anymore.

She needed to figure out how to get the company through its crisis.

Though she couldn't accept David Steve, she couldn't be too harsh either, as the company still needed him.

If it weren't for David Steve leading his team to tackle the challenges, Yimena might have already collapsed.

Lin Xi sighed as she ate.

Meanwhile, Su Chen returned to the office.

Saw Lin Xi eating happily.

He felt a bit unbalanced inside.

Even though she was eating the food he made.

But to Lin Xi, it was made by that golden retriever.

"Oh, Boss Lin is having a meal. Is it good?"

Hearing Su Chen's voice, Lin Xi thought she was hearing things.

Looking up, she indeed saw Su Chen standing at the door.

For some reason, seeing Su Chen made Lin Xi a bit annoyed.

Is this your home? You come and go as you please.

However, strictly speaking, it really was her home.

She simply lowered her head to eat and ignored Su Chen.

"Boss Lin, you're quite bold. You dare to eat food sent by just anyone? Aren't you afraid of being poisoned?" Su Chen said somewhat sourly.

"Haha, don't use your filthy thoughts to judge others. Do you think everyone is like you?" Lin Xi replied coldly.

"Oh, it seems Boss Lin trusts that golden retriever more than her husband."

"Can't help it, if my husband doesn't cook for me, I can only eat others'. "

Su Chen felt a bit embarrassed.

But inside, he was delighted.

What she's eating was, after all, cooked by her husband, wasn't it?

"Dear, you should stay away from that golden retriever. That golden retriever, you can tell it's no good at a glance, really. I'm really good at judging people."

"What? Found your own kind?" Lin Xi glanced at Su Chen and said.

Su Chen: "..."

"Dear, a few months not seen, you've become cheeky."

Hearing this, Lin Xi slammed the chopsticks onto the table and said, "Mr. Su, you actually remember it's been months, huh? Do you know these past months..."

Lin Xi originally wanted to express her grievances from these past few months.

But she felt, even if she told Su Chen about it, it wouldn't make any difference.

"What about these months?" Su Chen asked.

"Nothing happened!" Lin Xi puffed up and continued eating.

"Here, dear, drink some water." Su Chen knew his bossy wife was mad.

But that was to be expected.

His disappearance for months.

Anyone would be angry.

Anger meant Lin Xi cared about him.

If it were the first time she met Lin Xi.

She'd probably be eager for him never to return.

Lin Xi looked at Su Chen's silly grinning face.

For some reason, she just felt furious.

Like punching him.

"Come here!" Lin Xi said to Su Chen.

Prepared to call him over, hit him a few times to vent.

"Dear wife, your look is terrifying, you wouldn't be planning to hit me, right?" Su Chen swallowed and looked at Lin Xi warily.
