After being rejected by the school beauty, he picked up a treasure girl

Lin Xi picked up the beef tripe elegantly, put it in her mouth and savored it carefully, with a satisfied smile on her face: "Mm, it's delicious."

Seeing this, Xue Yang felt warm in his heart. He picked up the blanched beef, shrimp balls and other ingredients one by one and gently placed them in Lin Xi's bowl.

Seeing Lin Xi enjoying the meal, Xue Yang also felt very satisfied.

Seeing that he still wanted to continue blanching the ingredients, Lin Xi quickly said:

"You work so hard, let me serve you food."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Xi took the clip from his hand and imitated Xue Yang's previous move.
She began to pick up food for him. Although her movements were a little unfamiliar,

But his eyes were full of tenderness and love.

Xue Yang sat down and quietly enjoyed this rare world of two people.

Feeling Lin Xi's careful care for him.

At the beginning, Lin Xi might have been a little flustered.

But as time went on, she gradually got into the groove.
Boil the ingredients just right, which not only retains the original flavor of the ingredients,
It adds a bit of delicious taste.

Seeing Xue Yang eating so happily, Lin Xi's heart was also filled with satisfaction and joy.

She knew that this was the life she wanted, simple and happy.

However, at this moment, Lin Xi seemed to feel a burning gaze.

She looked up and unexpectedly found an extremely familiar face - her father, Lin Zhenhai.

Lin Xi was slightly stunned, then called softly: "Dad?"

Xue Yang was originally enjoying Lin Xi's careful care.
Suddenly I heard her call and raised my head.

He saw Lin Zhenhai with a frown not far away.
He immediately stood up and greeted politely:
"Hello, uncle."

In addition to his secretary Li Jiawen, Lin Zhenhai

He was also followed by two senior executives from the Lin Group.

Although they knew Lin Xi, they knew nothing about Xue Yang.
So I feel a little confused.

Seeing this, Li Jiawen hurried forward and said:
"Hello, Miss. Hello, Master Xue."

After hearing Li Jiawen's address, the two executives suddenly realized what was going on.

He hurriedly followed suit and said hello: "Hello, Miss, hello, Master Xue."

"Master Xue?"

The two men couldn't help but feel suspicious, as they seemed to have never heard of this person before.

However, the scene before them made them dare not neglect it at all.

After all, the eldest lady actually served him hotpot personally.

Could it be that he is the eldest lady’s boyfriend?

However, there seems to be no big family in Yancheng with the surname Xue.

Lin Xi gently put down the cutlery in her hand.
She walked gracefully to Lin Zhenhai.

She took his arm affectionately and said with a smile:
"Dad, I didn't expect you to come here to eat hotpot? That's great, let's eat together. Sister Jiawen, and the two uncles, come sit together, it will be more lively with more people."

Li Jiawen hesitated for a moment.
She glanced at Lin Zhenhai, then responded politely:
"Miss, we have already booked other rooms, so we won't disturb you and Master Xue's dining time. Thank you for your invitation."

After hearing Li Jiawen's answer, Lin Xi did not force it.

She gently took Lin Zhenhai's arm and led him to his seat.
"Dad, we haven't had a meal together like this in a long time. It's just right that we can have a good chat today."

As Lin Xi spoke, she settled Lin Zhenhai into his seat.

Afterwards, I helped him take off his heavy coat and hung it on the chair next to him.

After settling down, she did not forget to give Xue Yang a playful smile.

She knew that she must have made her father unhappy by blanching food for Xue Yang just now.

In that case, she would be responsible for coaxing her father.

Lin Xi picked up the cutlery again and carefully selected a few slices of tender beef.
Put it in a spoon and gently place it into the boiling red pot.

She calculated the time precisely, and when the beef was cooked through, she quickly took it out.

"Dad, I remember you love beef the most. Would you like to try my daughter's cooking?"

She smiled and handed the beef to Lin Zhenhai, watching him taste it expectantly.

Lin Zhenhai frowned and stared at his daughter standing opposite him.

Since dating Xue Yang, he found that she had become more mature and sensible. This change was so great that sometimes he couldn't help but have an illusion.

Is this really the carefree, innocent daughter he once was?
"Dad, please try it quickly. It won't taste good if it's cold." Lin Xi urged.

Lin Zhenhai came back to his senses, picked up the chopsticks, picked up the beef and put it into his mouth.
Not too young, not too old.
The heat is just right.

"very nice."

When I heard my father's praise,

Lin Xi's face instantly blossomed into a smile as bright as the sun.

The joy was beyond words.

Seeing my daughter so happy,
Lin Zhenhai's tense expression also relaxed a little.
It was as if the iceberg in my heart was melted by a ray of warm sunshine.

Even the look towards Xue Yang,
There is less indifference and scrutiny than before.
Becomes much softer.

Xue Yang poured Lin Zhenhai a glass of the hot pot restaurant's special fruit wine.

"Uncle, please."

"Ah."

Lin Zhenhai picked up the glass and took a sip. The fruit wine tasted sweet and had a long aftertaste.

"Jiawen, this hot pot restaurant you recommended is very good."

Today is the first snow since the beginning of winter this year.

After get off work, he suddenly felt like having a hotpot.

Li Jiawen recommended this store.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw his daughter, whom he had spoiled since childhood, serving Xue Yang.

This made him very angry.

That's why the scene just happened.

However, at this moment, the anger has almost subsided.

While thinking, Lin Xi also blanched the shrimp paste.

I gave one to Lin Zhenhai and one to Xue Yang.
"Dad, their shrimp paste is also delicious, you should try it."

Lin Zhenhai's eyes inadvertently swept over the shrimp paste in Xue Yang's bowl.
Xue Yang picked up a piece and put it into his mouth without any hesitation.

He withdrew his gaze, picked up the chopsticks, and picked up the shrimp paste in his bowl.

However, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart - why should she share the shrimp paste that her own daughter had cooked with her own hands with another man?

Lin Xi seemed to have sensed his father's thoughts.
This time, she specially blanched two shrimp balls and gave them all to her father.

Seeing his daughter being so considerate, Lin Zhenhai's dissatisfaction and loss suddenly disappeared.

After Lin Xi finished her work, Xue Yang took the tableware from her hand.

Start serving the father and daughter.

When Lin Zhenhai saw this, the grudge in his heart disappeared.

In the hot pot restaurant, a warm atmosphere spread among the three people.

Two hours later.

All three of them had almost finished their meal.

Lin Xi looked at Lin Zhenhai and asked with concern:
"Dad, are you going home?"

Lin Zhenhai nodded, "Yes, I have asked Lao Liu to pick me up."

Hearing this, Lin Xi said coquettishly: "Then Dad, when the weekend comes, Xue Yang and I will go home to see you together."

The three of them walked out of the hot pot restaurant, and snowflakes were falling gently under the night sky.

It seems to add a touch of poetry to this warm moment.

Lin Zhenhai turned to Lin Xi and asked:

“Are you getting used to everything in the new school?”

Lin Xi responded with a smile:

"Yes, the classmates in school are very friendly, and the seniors are very nice." (End of this chapter)
