after hanging up, she continued on her way home, but when she reached the entrance of the villa complex, she suddenly took a left turn and headed towards the famous residence next door.

after coming here a few times, the security guards at the door were able to recognize her. plus, she was driving a luxury car, so they didn't stop her and just let her enter the residential complex and drive directly to the garage of chen yanzhuo's house.

when she got off the car, she saw that the lock on the metal door had been changed into a pa.s.sword by chen yanzhuo after it had been broken by the locksmith.

she stood in the doorway for a long time, studying the code.

finally, she tried to put her birthday inside. miraculously, the iron gate opened.

she was surprised when the door opened.

chen yanzhuo actually used her birthday as the unlock pa.s.sword, she absolutely did not believe this was a coincidence!

after entering the door, he found the spare key at the usual place and opened the door to enter the house. chen yanzhuo hadn't come home yet, and the house was very quiet. there was no one inside.

at this moment, she took out her phone and made a call to zhao wei.

he learned that chen yanzhuo had been busy until just now and was preparing to go home from the company. he hadn't even had time to eat dinner.

huo xiwen put down his phone and immediately went to the kitchen to prepare a meal for him.

she opened the refrigerator and saw all kinds of ingredients neatly placed inside. however, there was a very serious problem right in front of her.

that was, she didn't know how to cook at all.

time was short and the task was heavy, so it was obviously too late to order takeouts.

she thought for a moment, then finally picked up her phone and downloaded an app for the kitchen. following the instructions above, she started to cook.

many times, a person's dream was very beautiful, but the reality was very cruel.

those seemingly simple dishes had been cooked by her beautiful hands, but they were either burnt or not cooked. the kitchen was even more messy; it was too horrible to look at.

time seemed to pa.s.s slowly. she had even boiled the rice until it was raw because she had put less water in it. this made her feel very vexed. she even regretted her decision. she shouldn't be so impulsive, doing things that she wasn't good at.

just when she was thinking about how to explain to chen yanzhuo that she really didn't want to mess everything up, the living room door was opened from the outside and chen yanzhuo's figure appeared at the door.

as soon as he entered, he smelled the thick smell of the kitchen.

it was true that the inexperienced miss huo xiwen had no idea when she was cooking that she was going to turn on the oil smoker. therefore, she tossed and turned in the kitchen for more than half an hour, causing the oil smoke to not escape.

when chen yanzhuo entered the door and smelled the sticky smell, he knew that something bad was going to happen.

throwing the car keys onto the sofa, he quickly walked into the kitchen. he saw huo xiwen walk out of the kitchen, smoke so much that her eyes couldn't open, and her face was a mess. huo xiwen b.u.mped into him, and when she saw chen yanzhuo, she couldn't take it anymore and started to cry in grievance, "chen yanzhuo, cooking is too difficult, i don't want to cook anymore."

"…" chen looked at huo xiwen, whose eyes had turned red from the smoke, smelling of oil smoke. he didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.

after entering the kitchen, he opened the exhaust fan and confirmed that there was no fire inside. after all the gas stoves had been turned off, he came out, pulled her into the living room, and gave her a piece of paper to wipe her eyes.

wiping his eyes, huo xiwen didn't forget to explain, "i know you didn't eat dinner, so i was planning to make you something to eat. but who knew that it would be so hard to cook? i'll do it the way i saw it in the video, but i can't do it at all …"

chen yanzhuo crossed his arms and stood against the wall, looking at her sad face. after she finished her explanation, he opened his mouth and asked in a lukewarm tone, "who told you to come here?"

hearing this, huo xiwen raised his head and looked at him with his red eyes, "no one asked me to come. i wanted to come myself, so i came."

he should have known that she would answer him like this. huo xiwen's willfulness gave him a headache, but it wasn't her fault. she was just doing what he wanted and liked to do.

it was he who had caused her to experience the pain of losing her true love. it was also he who had caused her to wait hopefully, yet to be unable to find an end.

he had no place to blame her, but she would be in danger if he did not blame her for her actions and let her go on like this.

the current huo xiwen was like a little girl standing on the edge of a cliff. if she was slightly careless, she could fall down and break her bones at any time.

he wanted her to come down, but he didn't dare shout out loud for fear of scaring her into falling off the cliff.

huo xiwen saw that chen yanzhuo was looking at him with a serious expression and did not say anything for a long time. he thought that chen yanzhuo was angry, so he carefully opened his mouth and said, "chen yanzhuo, you …" don't you like me coming to your house? "

chen yanzhuo still ignored her.

"are you angry? "don't be like this. if you don't like it, next time i won't come in by myself like this." looking at how silent he was and staring at him, huo xiwen couldn't help but feel a little guilty. he was afraid that his actions would cause him a great deal of trouble, or even screw up his plans.

"xi wen, i hope you can respect me. in the future, when i'm not at home, you should at least tell me, can you do it?" in the end, he still couldn't bear to lose his temper at her, so he could only speak in a low voice.

"i know, i won't be like this ever again." huo xiwen lowered her head. she also understood that she really didn't have much respect for others by coming here uninvited. even if the other party was her lover, they hadn't torn that piece of paper. under such circ.u.mstances, her actions really were inappropriate.

she put on her ap.r.o.n and said in a low voice, "i'm going to z city tomorrow morning. i need three days to attend an event and i won't be able to see you for the next three days. that's why i came here to see you tonight. i don't know how to cook, so i'll make a mess in your kitchen. tonight, you can eat takeout. i'll go back first. "

after saying that, she felt too embarra.s.sed to look at his face, afraid that he would discover the sense of loss on it. she lowered her head, walked to the sofa, picked up her bag and walked out.

"wait a moment." seeing her pitiful appearance, chen yanzhuo couldn't bear it anymore and called out to her.

hearing that he wanted him to stay, huo xi wen's eyes lit up. he immediately turned around and looked at him, "did you call me?"

"is there anyone else here?" chen said, throwing the ap.r.o.n she had just taken off to her again. "you want to leave after messing up my kitchen?"

"what else?" huo xiwen didn't understand what he meant.

"at the very least, you have to tidy it up before you can leave. "come, follow me into the kitchen." chen yanzhuo said. he reached for the bag in her hand and threw it on the sofa. then he held her wrist and led her into the kitchen.
