After it was over, Sheng Xiangsi came out, but Liao Qingming hadn't finished yet.

After waiting for a while, he came out.

He ran towards her, apologizing as he ran, "I'm sorry! I encountered some problems and was delayed for a while...Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"No." Sheng Xiangsi shook her head and said calmly, "Can we go now?"

"Okay."

Liao Qingming went to get a car and took Xiangsi out of Baihu Prison and went to the city.

"Let's have lunch together?"

"Yeah." Sheng Xiangsi replied calmly. This was what they agreed on the phone yesterday.

"Where do you want to eat?"

"casual."

"Is that so..." Liao Qingming thought for a moment, "Since you said so, I'll make the decision."

"Okay." Sheng Xiangsi didn't care. It didn't matter where they went to eat.

"it is good."

There was a faint smile on Liao Qingming's lips, and he looked cheerful.

When the car drove into the city, Sheng Xiangsi didn't care much at first, but gradually, he felt something was wrong.

Where is he heading?

Fu Hanjiang took her to eat at almost all the good restaurants in Jiangcheng.

This area seems to be nowhere.

Besides, this neighborhood is too quiet.

"Where are you going?" Sheng Xiangsi frowned and couldn't help asking.

"Are you hungry?" Liao Qingming checked the time. "Don't worry, we'll be there soon."

Where are you?

Sheng Xiangsi looked around.

The further the car goes, the quieter the environment becomes.

Finally, we drove into a road with plane trees on both sides. Not far ahead was the entrance to a residential community.

Isn’t this the residential area?

Sheng Xiangsi vaguely guessed, "You live here?"

"Yes."

Liao Qingming nodded. "When I asked you where to eat, didn't you say it didn't matter? Then I'll make the decision and bring you to my house."

As the two were talking, the car had already driven into the community.

After passing one apartment building after another, Liao Qingming finally drove the car into the garage and parked it in the parking space.

"This is it."

Liao Qingming unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car.

Then he walked around to Xiangsi's side and opened the car door. "We're here, get out."

Sheng Xiangsi sat in the car, hesitating and did not get out.

"What's wrong?" Liao Qingming looked at him and guessed, "Don't you want to go to my house?"

Sheng Xiangsi didn't say anything, which meant she agreed.

She really didn't want to go.

They didn't get together because of the development of their relationship.

Although, it was indeed the 'deal' she agreed to.

But to be honest, she doesn't have any feelings for him now, and her trust in him is also very low.

"I guess...?"

Liao Qingming raised his eyebrows, "Are you afraid that I will do something to you?"

“……” Sheng Xiangsi was stunned.

That's right.

"Heh." Liao Qingming pulled his lip in self-mockery, feeling a little annoyed but not angry.

"Don't worry."

Liao Qingming said in a gentle voice, "I said, it's just that one time, and I won't let you suffer any more injustices. I will never force you to do anything you don't want to do... Don't worry, we'll take it slowly."

After a pause, he said again.

"It's been a short time, and since we've been together, it's normal for you to not trust me. How about this..."

He looked at her and said solemnly, "Considering my profession and status, you should be able to trust me, right?"

He said so...

Sheng Xiangsi slowly let down her guard.

Yes.

His job was special and he could not afford to make mistakes. If he forced himself to do something to her, she could report him and ruin him.

But he is young and has a bright future, so he cannot possibly take his future lightly.

"Ah."

Sheng Xiangsi was no longer so nervous. She nodded and got out of the car.

Liao Qingming breathed a sigh of relief and walked beside her, "This way, I live on the top floor."

When you get to the elevator, take the elevator all the way up.

Liao Qingming said that he lived on the top floor, which was not wrong, but the top two floors were connected to form a duplex.

As soon as you enter the door, a faint fragrance spreads.

"What is this...?" Sheng Xiangsi frowned and smelled it, "Stewed pork ribs?"

"Correct."

Liao Qingming smiled and nodded, "You have a good nose. I got up early in the morning and stewed lotus root and pork ribs soup. I promised you before that I would cook for you, so I'll let you try it today to see if it suits your taste. If it doesn't suit, tell me so I can change it."

"Sit down." Liao Qingming pointed to the sofa. "What would you like to drink? I'll pour it for you."

"Thank you, water will be fine."

"Row."

Liao Qingming went to get some water and came back soon. He introduced this place to Sheng Xiangsi, "This place was chosen by my third brother. He was afraid that I would not be comfortable living here, so he bought two floors and did some design. I just moved in and haven't cleaned it up yet."

"Ah."

Sheng Xiangsi listened half-heartedly, holding the water cup.

It can be seen that Liao Qingming is the youngest in the family, and everyone from his parents to his three older brothers loves him very much.

Could it be that this was the reason why they had no objection at all to him finding a divorced woman with a child?

"Are you hungry?"

Liao Qingming said as he rolled up his shirt sleeves, "Lotus root and pork ribs soup is not enough, we have to stir-fry two more dishes."

Pointing to the kitchen, he said, "I called a part-time worker before I left and asked her to prepare the ingredients. I'll stir-fry them and we'll be ready to eat. Wait a moment, it won't take long."

Then, he took out the remote control from the drawer of the coffee table and turned on the TV.

"If you're bored, watch TV."

Then, he handed the remote control to Sheng Xiangsi.

Sheng Xiangsi took it, held it in her hand, and hesitated, should she go over to help?

They were really unfamiliar with each other, and because of the 'transaction', there was inevitable awkwardness when they got along with each other.

"Please sit down."

Liao Qingming's eyes saw through her.

"You don't need to help me, I can do it alone, you just wait and eat."

Xiang Xiang said, "Not only now, but you won't have to do it after you get married. You don't have to do anything in the Liao family that you didn't do in the Fu family before."

"Ah."

Sheng Xiangsi nodded. Now that he said so, her little hesitation disappeared.

"Wait."

Liao Qingming smiled and said, "It will be ready to eat soon."

He turned around and went to the kitchen.

Sheng Xiangsi held the remote control in her hand, changing channels out of boredom, and randomly picked a variety show to play some music.

The kitchen is open. She can hear the noise inside. Liao Qingming is busy there.

Waves of fragrance wafted in the air.

After about half an hour, Liao Qingming came to call her, still wearing an apron, "Okay, let's eat."

"okay."

Sheng Xiangsi put down the remote control, stood up, and followed him to the restaurant.

There were four dishes and a soup on the dining table, which were delicious and looked quite presentable.

"Are you thinking..." Liao Qingming laughed softly, "I actually know how to cook?"

As he spoke, he pulled out a chair and said, "Sit down."

"Thank you." Sheng Xiangsi thanked him and sat down as he said.

"You're welcome."

Liao Qingming sat down beside her, picked up the soup bowl, and served her a bowl of soup first. "Try it, how does it taste?"

"Ah."

Sheng Xiangsi nodded, picked up the soup spoon, scooped a spoonful into her mouth, and pursed her lips.

"Give me your comments?" Liao Qingming looked at her expectantly.

"Not bad." Sheng Xiangsi commented objectively, "It tastes good."

She was quite surprised that with Liao Qingming's family background, he could actually cook so well?

Her elder brother can't do that.

Fu Hanjiang could do it, but he was different. He had suffered a lot when he was young.

"My skills were all forced out of me."

Liao Qingming knew exactly what she was thinking.

She explained, "Because of work, I was rarely at home. Although my family could afford to hire a maid, I was just starting my career at that time and was afraid of the bad influence, so I decided to do it myself."

When he said this, his eyes darkened a few degrees.

"I have a... friend..."
