?Chapter 102: Chapter 102: If You Like it, I Can Try (Third Update) Chapter 102: Chapter 102: If You Like it, I Can Try (Third Update) Chen Jing stood frozen on the spot, lost and helpless as she watched her daughter turn away. By the time she recovered, her daughter was already stepping into the elevator with Yanhuang. By the time she wanted to chase after them, the elevator doors were already closing with a “ding” right in front of her.

In the elevator, Zhu Qianying stood silent and stone-faced, pressing her lips tightly together.

Yanhuang had been a silent observer to the interaction between her and her mother, becoming more and more aware of why Zhu Qianying had been bullied in the Zhu family over the years.

“Come with me to the company.”

Zhu Qianying didn’t object nor did she agree to Yanhuang’s request. She remained silent all the way until they got in the car, not uttering a single word.

Yanhuang took a deep look at her, gently touched her face, and then instructed the driver to head back to the company.

Zhu Qianying’s mind was still preoccupied with her mother until they were almost at Yanhuang Group. Only then did she snap back to reality, registering her surroundings, and staring at Yanhuang with a bewildered expression.

“Yanhuang, where are we going now?”

At this time, Yanhuang was busily tapping away on his laptop, obviously working.

“Back to the office.”

Zhu Qianying uttered a subdued “oh” in response. At the moment, she was feeling quite dejected and didn’t care about where they were heading next.

She had thought that her mother had finally seen her father’s true colors and would no longer shed tears or lose sleep over that jerk. But what had transpired at the hospital had shattered all her assumptions bit by bit.

She was indeed too naive, thinking that her eloquence alone could sway her mother from the path of deception.

However, all her words and efforts fell short in comparison to the sweet lies casually spewed by her father.

Ah, love indeed does more harm than benefit!

It can blind one’s eyes and deafen one’s ears, obscuring the truth. People only hear what they want to hear and see what they desire.

It can strip one of judgment, blurring the line between right and wrong, unable to discern what should and should not be done.

A wave of anger swept over Zhu Qianying as she thought about this, mentally cursing her foolish mother a thousand times and Zhu Zhizhou ten thousand times.

Still not satisfied, she cursed love ten thousand times more for its harmful influence, which then made her feel a bit better.

Yanhuang led her into the office and gave her a laptop, “You can watch whatever movie you like.”

Zhu Qianying obediently nodded, taking the laptop into the reception room.

She didn’t ask why Yanhuang brought her along. Presumably, because she owed him a dinner, he brought her straight back to avoid having to travel back and forth later.

She wasn’t too busy these days, and she wouldn’t be initiating contact with Xing Bailun and the others any time soon. So, really, she had two choices – either stay in the hotel or find a random place to pass the afternoon. It was no different from staying here.

So, she didn’t mind staying here.

When Yanhuang came back, he had been busy at his desk, not paying any attention to Zhu Qianying.

Upon sitting down and opening the laptop, Zhu Qianying discovered that besides the standard software, it appeared brand new with no signs of use.

Zhu Qianying opened the web browser and logged into her frequently visited websites, noticing a lot of good stuff added.

Unfortunately, her financial situation was quite tight right now, so these goodies would have to stay in the shopping cart for now.

Of course, there were only two outcomes for the goods lingering in the shopping cart.

First, she eventually saves enough money to purchase the items.

Second, by the time she has enough money, the items had already been purchased by other discerning buyers.

Usually, the second scenario occurs more often than the first.

After adding her desired items to the cart, she opened the shopping cart, and sure enough, saw that a few items she had put in there a while back were marked as “sold.”

Zhu Qianying stared longingly and ruefully at the items for a while before reluctantly closing the shopping cart page.

There were too many good things in this world, and only so few she could have. Therefore, she should cherish what she had!

Including her ignorant mother. Although she appeared to be of the poorest quality, she was still one of the few and important people she had in her life!

It’s not like she could completely abandon her, right?

Let’s just let it pass this time and allow her to continue her folly.

In due time, Zhu Zhizhou’s true colors would be revealed once again, and by then, her deeply hurt mother would probably not look back!

Upon this thought, Zhu Qianying felt completely at ease.

Feeling considerably lighter, she logged into a food website and randomly opened up recipes and their images that users had uploaded. She even looked at the comments, making mental notes of the highly recommended recipes, planning to give them a try when she had the time.

However, she seemed to have forgotten that her current residence didn’t even have a kitchen. Where was she going to try out these recipes?

Without giving it much thought, she added these interesting recipes into her bookmark folders one by one. Suddenly, she heard a male voice overhead, “Preparing to cook for me?”

Zhu Qianying turned her head and saw Yanhuang’s eyes twinkling with amusement.

She noticed that his mood today seemed quite good all day.

Could it be that the radiant sunshine outside had also brightened his heart?

“Sure, what do you like?”

At her question, the smile in Yanhuang’s eyes deepened. He leaned over, propped his elbow on the back of the sofa, and brought his face close to hers.

“This one, it looks good.” Yanhuang, full of interest, stretched out his slender finger pointing to a recipe on the screen.

“Qingping chicken?”

Zhu Qianying thought to herself, he truly was a food connoisseur.

Those who truly know how to appreciate food prioritize the original taste of the food.

Qingping chicken might look like an ordinary cooked chicken dish, but it’s actually prepared by immersing the chicken in a special sauce made from various herbs and spices. The chicken is soaked in aged chicken broth to maintain the freshness and original flavor of the chicken.

“Yes, I’ve tried this dish at many places, but none of them tasted authentic.”

Zhu Qianying nodded, “Mmm, I’ve never made this before, but since you like it, I can give it a try.”

The authentic Qingping chicken is only served in a certain restaurant in a southern city. Other restaurants find it difficult to replicate its taste and tenderness.

Yanhuang twisted his face and lightly pressed his lips onto her cheek.

His affectionate gesture startled Zhu Qianying, causing her body to tense up instinctively as she moved her face a little away.

Yanhuang didn’t seem to mind her avoidance. Smiling, he moved his gaze back to the laptop screen, his finger tapping on another image, “I want to try this one too.”
