Jiang Xinxin looked at Lu Yuanzhi in surprise and realized that he was indeed talking to her. "A little, but..." Before she could finish her sentence, Lu Yuanzhi took it from her.
"Then stay. Niu Niu doesn't want you to leave, but you have to stay and cook," Lu Yuanzhi said and walked upstairs.
Jiang Xinxin came to her senses. Did he think of her as a servant? Although Niu Niu was very cute and she wanted to stay and play with her, it did not mean that she had to work to pay off her debts, right? Feeling Niu Niu rubbing at her feet, Jiang Xinxin felt her heart go soft. 'Forget it, it's just a meal, right? And I'm here to play with the cat. Let's just pretend that I'm not losing out.'
Jiang Xinxin bent down to touch the cat, but she heard Lu Yuanzhi's voice above her head. "Why aren't you cooking? I want to eat braised pork ribs."
'Braised pork ribs? I really want to braise you too!' Jiang Xinxin cursed in her heart, but she could not take it anymore and said, "Can't we order takeout?"
Lu Yuanzhi stood on the stairs and looked at her. Although he did not say anything, Jiang Xinxin could see the dissatisfaction in Lu Yuanzhi's eyes, it was as if he was saying, "How can you allow such a low-level thing like takeout food into my villa that was designed by a world-class expert, and serve it on my luxurious dining table?"
"Okay." Jiang Xinxin went into the kitchen neatly and first looked at the ingredients in the fridge. She found that apart from a few vegetables and meat, his fridge mostly held wine and mineral water. Lu Yuanzhi was probably too busy with his work and did not have time to eat. Then she would just cook a meal for him, as a way to win him over as a partner.
Apart from the ribs, she also found a piece of beef. This was an incredible ingredient. She could make another beef pot sticker!
Jiang Xinxin first chopped the beef and prepared the ribs, then began to season the beef. During this time, Niu Niu seemed to have smelled the aroma of the food and began circling Jiang Xinxin. Jiang Xinxin did not chase her out when she saw that she was not causing any trouble.
However, she did not expect that an accident would happen soon. Jiang Xinxin was busy mixing the noodles and did not have the time to prepare the beef filling, so she did not notice Niu Niu jumping up and sniffing around.
The sound of a cat eating could be heard. And that was when Jiang Xinxin realized that she was secretly eating the raw beef filling. "Hey, don't eat it!"
Jiang Xinxin quickly carried the cat down and made it spit out the food in its mouth. Human food contained oil and salt, but these were difficult for cats to digest and could easily make them sick. Of course, Jiang Xinxin also knew this. It was common sense, but she had not been paying attention when Niu Niu ate the beef stuffing.
"What happened?" Lu Yuanzhi heard her shouting downstairs, so he quickly came over to take a look.
"Niu Niu just ate this beef stuffing. Will she get sick?" Although he saw Jiang Xinxin hugging Niu Niu with a distressed look, it could not stop Lu Yuanzhi's anger.
"What beef stuffing? Is this raw meat?" Lu Yuanzhi glanced at the stuffing on the table. "Don't cats have common sense? Why don't you put these things further away? Niu Niu has never been fed raw meat before. Moreover, it's meat from a supermarket. I don't know how many germs there are in it. What if she gets sick?"
"I'm sorry." Jiang Xinxin was a little helpless. "I didn't do it on purpose. I wasn't paying attention and then she took a few bites."
Seeing that she was still carrying Niu Niu, Lu Yuanzhi snatched her away and put her in a room upstairs. When he walked down the corridor, he entered his room without even looking at Jiang Xinxin.
Jiang Xinxin felt a little sad. Looking at the messy table, she thought, 'I should at least finish cooking first.'
