Song Jiamin paced back and forth in the living room. She had some understanding of what kind of person Ye Xiao was. Although he usually joked around, he was actually very firm when speaking to others. Her father, on the other hand, was an absolutely upright man. How could the two of them possibly see eye to eye?

Just as Song Jiamin was worrying, suddenly the door to Song Jianping's study opened!

Song Jiamin immediately looked up and saw the two previously serious men now both smiling cheerfully!

"Uncle Song, please take care of these matters. Scum like Han Zhimin must be finished, or who knows how many ordinary people will suffer!" Ye Xiao said with a laugh to Song Jianping!

Uncle Song?

Song Jiamin, hearing Ye Xiao calling her dad "Uncle," was immediately full of confusion!

At this moment, Song Jianping said, "I will definitely take this matter seriously. Han Zhimin is a cancer to Minghai City's security. If we don't remove him, it would be irresponsible!"

Ye Xiao turned to look at Song Jiamin, and upon seeing her skeptical expression, he grinned and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? Do I have flowers on my face?"

Song Jiamin immediately rolled her eyes at him and then asked, "Why do you call my dad 'Uncle'? Are you two that close?"

Ye Xiao immediately laughed and said, "Uncle Song, a man of integrity and of uncorrupted spirit, just for this alone, he is worthy of being called 'Uncle Song' by me, and moreover, I call him 'Uncle' willingly!"

"Brown-noser!" Song Jiamin said disdainfully under her breath!

Coincidentally, Song Jianping heard this remark and immediately looked at Song Jiamin, saying, "Minmin, watch how you speak. Ye Xiao has exposed Han Zhimin, the head of the Guard Bureau. He is a great hero for Minghai City!"

"It's okay, Uncle Song, and besides, I know Officer Song is just joking with me!" Ye Xiao said, looking at Song Jiamin, "Right, Officer Song?"

Before Song Jiamin could speak, Song Jianping, laughing, said to Ye Xiao, "Ye Xiao, I have another meeting and must leave now. Don't go anywhere at noon; let Minmin cook something for you. Minmin's cooking is pretty good!"

"Dad, are you kidding me, me cooking for this guy?" Hearing her father's words, Song Jiamin looked extremely reluctant.

Especially seeing Ye Xiao's mischievous grin, Song Jiamin doubted again that this was all premeditated!

As Song Jianping spoke, he had already reached the door and turned to Song Jiamin, saying, "This girl is really out of line. Ye Xiao, please don't mind her. I'm leaving now!"

"Okay, Uncle Song!" Ye Xiao said with a smile!

Song Jianping left the house, and Ye Xiao immediately looked at Song Jiamin with a sly smile, while she glared back at him.

"Let me tell you, I am not going to cook for you. If you want to eat here, no problem, there's instant noodles and hot water!" Song Jiamin said as she picked up her laptop from beside the couch and headed towards her room. As she reached the door, she turned to Ye Xiao and said, "In the future, don't touch anyone's things without their permission!"

Ye Xiao smiled slightly but before he could speak, Song Jiamin had already closed the door.

It was nearly twelve o'clock now, indeed time for lunch. To leave now?

Ye Xiao was somewhat reluctant. Just leave like this? After all, he was the one who reported the corrupt official, and logically speaking, he should at least be recognized or praised, or at the very least, get some meal money as a reward. Yet, there was nothing, not even providing lunch except for instant noodles!

Although instant noodles tasted good, to be honest, they were truly nutritionally deficient. His stomach grumbled slightly, seeming a bit hungry. He wondered if the house of the head of Minghai City had any tasty food, and moreover, being a home with two girls, there should be plenty of food in the fridge!

So, naturally, Ye Xiao walked into the kitchen and then opened the fridge!

Contrary to what Ye Xiao had thought, there weren't really any ready-made food items inside, but there were lots of ingredients: eggs, tomatoes, potatoes, and so on, obviously from a household that cooked often!

Seeing some noodles, Ye Xiao thought for a moment and then started cooking.

Ye Xiao's cooking skills were quite good; during his journey in Lijiazhou with Zhou Hao, all the cooking was done by Ye Xiao.

Although the ingredients were preserved in the fridge, Ye Xiao habitually washed them first and then skillfully cracked the eggs and turned on the stove.

Song Jiamin really couldn't understand, what was going on with her dad? Normally, he spoke quite seriously to her. Why was he so friendly to Ye Xiao today, even happily accepting being called "Uncle Song" by Ye Xiao?

She opened her laptop, leaned back against the headboard, and looked at the provocative photos inside her computer. This guy had seen all these photos, and she wondered what Jiaqian would think if she knew!

Thinking about this, Song Jiamin recalled the earlier situation on the living room couch. Initially, she had prepared herself for Ye Xiao's beast-like harassment, but in reality, Ye Xiao had not done so. This was what Song Jiamin couldn't understand at all!

Of course, Song Jiamin didn't want Ye Xiao to touch her, but she also knew that if he really did, she wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

However, Ye Xiao didn't do it. Could it be that he had changed his ways? Obviously not, or perhaps, was this the real him?

Had she misunderstood him before?

Song Jiamin really couldn't figure out what kind of person Ye Xiao was. What was his purpose that day when he saved her? Was it really just to save her?

While Song Jiamin was pondering this, suddenly, she heard some sounds coming from outside. As a police officer, her instincts kicked in, and she immediately realized someone was in her kitchen, because the noises were all of pots and pans!

Song Jiamin was very puzzled — could Ye Xiao really have gone to the kitchen to make instant noodles?

After thinking it over, she finally closed her laptop, stood up, and walked out of her room!

Of course, when she walked out of the room, she noticed a faint steam in the kitchen. Was this guy really making noodles?

Although it was Song Jiamin who asked Ye Xiao to make noodles, the fact that he casually used her kitchen stuff made her feel like he was overly familiar!

Song Jiamin immediately walked to the kitchen, but as she approached, she smelled a strong aroma of noodles. She was momentarily distracted — did instant noodles smell like this?

As Song Jiamin entered the kitchen, Ye Xiao noticed her right away. He was stirring something in the pot with chopsticks while smiling at Song Jiamin, "Smells good, right? It'll be ready soon, don't rush!"

Song Jiamin saw that Ye Xiao was actually cooking noodles, it looked like egg and tomato noodles, probably the simplest kind, but why did it smell so rich? She had cooked egg and tomato noodles before, but never had they smelled this fragrant!

"Who allowed you to mess with my stuff?" Though Song Jiamin felt the egg and tomato noodles were very fragrant, even stirring her desire to eat, she deliberately kept a stern face out of pride.

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Didn't you ask me to find instant noodles? I couldn't find any, but saw some ingredients, so I decided to cook them. Here, there's some for you too. I'm not great at cooking, you try it and see how it is!"

Not great at cooking?

Song Jiamin cursed inwardly upon hearing Ye Xiao's words. This is what you call not being able to cook?

"I'm not hungry, and even if I were, I wouldn't eat what you cooked. Who knows if you might have poisoned it!" Song Jiamin said provocatively!

Ye Xiao replied, "Not eating? That's great then. I picked the freshest tomatoes. If you don't eat, I'll happily eat it all myself and at least get some advantage from your house. If you eat, then I'm the one getting the short end of the stick!"

"You… What kind of mindset is that?" Song Jiamin glared at Ye Xiao, but then she thought about it; these were her own household ingredients, and, most importantly, she had bought these recent ingredients with her own money, implying that every bite Ye Xiao took was technically her own!

Song Jiamin thought it over and felt that she absolutely had to eat the egg and tomato noodles; otherwise, Ye Xiao would benefit too much.

"Humph, dream on. I will eat, but you'll have to bring it to the living room for me. Otherwise, I'm not letting you eat!" Song Jiamin said authoritatively!

To make Song Jiamin feel she had won, Ye Xiao pulled a sour face, "But I cooked the noodles. How can you be so heartless?"

"So what if you cooked them? Nobody approved of your cooking. If you want to eat, do as I say, otherwise, don't eat!" Song Jiamin finally embraced her rightful authority and confidence!

Ye Xiao nodded with a smile, "Okay, okay, maybe when I become a member of this household, I won't be so restrained!"

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Song Jiamin's expression turned chilly as she immediately asked, "What did you just say?"

Ye Xiao suddenly fell silent!

It wasn't long before the noodles were ready!

Ye Xiao served two bowls and carried them to the living room!

"Minmin, it's ready to eat!" Ye Xiao casually called out!

"Hmm," Song Jiamin hummed softly, but then she felt something was off. This guy just called her by her nickname!

"Are you calling me Minmin?" Song Jiamin was very upset — not only had this guy taken her advantage, rifled through her stuff, but now he even dared to use her nickname, really treating himself like family!

Ye Xiao looked confusedly at Song Jiamin and said, "But, Uncle Song calls you that, right?"

"That's my dad!" Song Jiamin retorted indignantly!

Ye Xiao said, "I am not your dad!"

"How dare you insult me!" Song Jiamin's face turned chilly!

Ye Xiao, looking innocent again, said, "I didn't insult you. Would it be an insult if I said I was your dad?"

"You…" Song Jiamin's face flushed with anger!

Knowing she might blow up any moment, Ye Xiao quickly bowed his head and said, "Let's eat the noodles!"
