She could actually just take her empty bag and leave right this instance, leave Liujing Residence.
Even if Zuo Hancheng was her husband in name that did not mean that he could restrict her rights and freedom, though he did have the power to do so.
However, Anhao, who rarely acted so obediently, did not insist on going out. She angrily cleared the makeup products from the trash bin and her bag, planning to throw them out.
Seeing that girl irritatedly cleaning up all the mess, while flicking the strands of hair sticking to the side of her face, she seemed extremely annoyed, or maybe she was holding a grudge against herself.
Zuo Hancheng chuckled, he looked back at the kitchen and saw the pots and pans that had not been touched, he then went into the kitchen.
Even though Anhao did not insist on going out, she was fuming at the man that seemed to be a neat freak.
He did not allow her to leave those so-called trash in the house. Since he could not stand the way she lived, why would he leave her at home with such ease?
Until she was so exhausted that her whole body was sore, it finally seemed like she was done doing everything that he had requested. She was now feeling a bit hungry, and planned to fill her stomach with some chips, but when she walked into the bedroom the remaining boxes of chips left on the coffee table were gone.
What had replaced them was the aromatic smell of dishes drifting from the living room, she followed the aroma, and saw Zuo Hancheng taking two dishes out and putting them on the dining table.
“You didn’t eat during the day?” Seeing her standing there in daze, Zuo Hancheng asked placidly.
Anhao was busy taking out the trash just now, she did not realize what Zuo Hancheng was doing, she never would have thought that he would actually cook. Staring at the three dishes and a pot of soup on the table, the fragrance that wafted from the appetizing dishes greatly tempted her, she gulped down saliva and blinked dazedly. “I ate some shrimp snacks, and some chips.”
Zuo Hancheng pulled out a chair beside the dining table, and said faintly, “Wash your hands.”
“Okay…” She was really hungry, and seeing that he meant to invite her to join in on the meal, she knew what she had to do and turned to wash her hands.
She quickly washed her hands, just as she was about to pull out a chair to sit down, his voice sounded again, “Go take the bowls and chopsticks.”
The corner of Anhao’s mouth twitched, since he had already cooked he was still acting like he was the boss!
Seeing the tempting dishes that smelled so aromatic, she kept it in, and attentively ran into the kitchen and brought out two sets of bowls and chopsticks.
Finally, she could sit down and eat. She lifted her chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth without any hesitation. She was rather surprised and lifted her eyes, looking at the man in front of her.
“Zuo Hancheng, what is your actual job? How can you cook so well too…”
Zuo Hancheng’s expression did not change at all under Anhao’s gaze that showed a hint of curiosity and adoration, he picked up a piece of vegetable from another dish and put it into her bowl. “You should eat less junk food in the future.”
Anhao ate the piece of vegetable put into her bowl, at the same time, she shot a glance at the empty coffee table, he was the one that threw out those chips.
However, in front of such delicious dishes she could not get angry, she continued eating as she nodded and said, “Oh… I’ll try…”
He could hear that she was merely pacifying him, Zuo Hancheng shot her a cold stare. “I’m not joking.”
Anhao immediately put down her bowl, and picked up the glass of water on the side as she gulped the water down, and argued, “Why so strict? I’m not breaking the law, I’m just eating junk food.”
“Eat at regular times, junk food is not a necessity.”
Anhao was annoyed, he was being too overbearing! He controlled the way she dressed and threw away her things, now he even wanted to limit her junk food intake!
If not for his excellent culinary skills and the food he made that was so delicious, she would have boldly flipped the dishes in front of her and left.
Now that her gluttonous side had come out, she could not care less about her dignity, she gave a short “ok”, reluctantly agreed and hung her head to continue eating, but that hesitant expression on her face spoke more than her words, she was completely unwilling.
To prevent him from saying anything else to lecture her, Anhao gobbled up a few bites before directly bringing up another topic, “By the way, Zuo Hancheng, what do you do? Why does the Xu family revere you so much? Seems like even our school principal was afraid of offending you… Even your cooking is so good…”
Zuo Hancheng lightly looked at her. “I lived alone when I was studying abroad many years ago, I learned to take care of myself naturally with time, if I were to choose between take-out or cooking myself, of course I would choose to do it myself.”
“So what do you actually do?”
Anhao felt like she was being peeled apart layer by layer by him, in the end she did not even know what his identity was.
This would not do, she needed to find out, at least she needed to gain some leverage.
It was at that time when Anhao’s phone suddenly rang, she did not even have time to consider as Zuo Hancheng had snatched her phone away, the word “Boss” was flashing on the screen, he instantly shot her another look.
Anhao felt her face tighten, she hung her head, pretending that she did not see who it was and continued wolfing down her meal.
However, she could not help but take a peek at him, and saw him hang up the phone. He obviously did not intend to pick up the call, after that it was like nothing had happened as he said coolly, “This is unimportant.”
“How is it unimportant? I don’t even know your identity, who knows, maybe you’re trying to sell me.”
“Sell you? With how you dress up and that makeup of yours in the bar, even if I pay to sell you no one would want to buy you, do you think I would want a business that loses me money?”
Anhao almost choked on her food.
She gritted her teeth silently, after gobbling up the food she pushed the empty bowl to the front. “I’m full.”
As she was about to stand up.
“Wash the dishes.”
“…Damn you!”
***
After she was finally done with washing the dishes, she felt that ever since Zuo Hancheng returned home she did not have time to rest, especially after cleaning up the house, she was covered in sweat, Anhao once again went to take a shower.
After she was done with her shower, she saw that it was already 9 pm, she knew that no matter what excuse she were to give, he would not let her out this late, she could only return to the bedroom feeling bored.
However, as she passed by the sofa on her way she took a glance at the phone in Zuo Hancheng’s palm, she paused for a moment, and poked her head over to look, “What are you doing with my phone?”
“Your boss messaged you warning you that if you don’t go to work he’ll cut your pay.”
Anhao was stunned, she quickly snatched her phone back and read the message, she was instantly enraged. “It’s all your fault! Your fault my pay is gonna get cut! Do you believe I’ll max out your card!”
Speaking of card, those peculiar message notifications of three yuan five yuan or a few ten yuan appeared in Zuo Hancheng’s mind, he shot her a look. “Quit your job at the bar, I gave you the card not only for you to buy junk food.”
Anhao rolled her eyes, she did not say anything and turned around, walking back to the bedroom.
“Also,” Zuo Hancheng’s cold voice came from behind her, “What’s with your results?”
Just hearing the word ‘results’, Anhao’s hair stood on ends and she started sweating buckets, she turned and saw the result slip that she had kept in a clear folder in her bag. she immediately rushed toward it, attempting to get it back. “Give it back!”
