" We are not friends with benefits ! "

Rong Xinghe kept on instructing the three men about what ingredients she needed to cook and they followed her each and every order with complete seriousness.

But most flawless amongst them was Xi Yuan . The way and the speed with which he chopped vegetables was the same as that of the girl's brothers. Rong Xinghe was very impressed by Xi Yuan as she said , " Forget bartender ! Be my personal chef ! HEHEHE ! "

Xi Yuan smiled and replied , " It would be an honour , Ma'jolie !"

It was now that Rong Xinghe came to know that Xi Yuan specialised in Mexican and Italian cuisine and had even received many recognised awards for his cooking skills !

Damn !

As the girl observed the man who was focused on cooking just like he would be focused while reading business files , she sighed.

Indeed , men looked the most handsome when they would cook !

Soon after , the dishes were prepared and served on the dining table .

Xi Wei and Xi Fang sat on their chairs as they started serving themselves while Xi Yuan went into his study to meet some business associates .

" Ying ! Send this video to all the six of my brothers. Quick ! " , Rong Xinghe smiled cheekily , " Also , warn them to not be over-protective when I am in foreign countries or next time , I won't just cook .... I will wash dishes as well !!! "

Xi Ying giggled as she did as instructed , " Xiao Xinghe ! Your brothers don't like you doing this ? "

" Nope . They hate it when I do any household chores . They don't allow me to cook , or wash my dishes , or even fold my clothes ! Can you believe that ?!! They are like .... 'You are our princess. After your work hours , all you need to do is to have rest.' They don't like it when I overexert myself ." , the girl smiled helplessly .

" They really love you a lot ! "

" They do ! "

...

" Aaaahhhh ! This is so good ! Bro Fang ! Pass that porridge and fried rice !!! Xiao Xinghe !! You are the best !! " , Xi Wei screamed as the girls turned around to look at him.

" The food is indeed very delicious ! Especially , these Chicken Quesadillas , Guacamole , Tomato Salsa and Enchiladas ! " , Xi Fang complimented as well .

" Forget that ! Look at this ! This Pasta Carbonara , Panzenella , Pork and this Mushroom Risotto is savage !!! Xiao Xinghe , just where did you learn to cook from ?! " , Xi Wei was so satisfied with the food that he was emotionally moved .

" Uhhh... I learned it from the locals . Is it really that good ?! " , Rong Xinghe was doubtful about her skills .

" If you ever make food in the future , I am a call away. I will be there even if floods or storms occur ! ", Xi Fang made the lifetime food reservation .

" .... "

" Hey ! Xiao Xinghe likes me the most ! She will call me ! Right , my Queen ? " , Xi Wei started buttering up .

" Only if you both will be my assistant chefs like today . ", the girl named her conditions .

Both the men nodded and then immersed themselves into the food in front of them.

" Me too ! " , a raspy voice came from behind the girl .

Xi Yuan walked into the dining room and looked at the girl with deep meaning .

" Nope . You won't be my assistant chef . You will be my partner chef . You are really good at cooking , Yuan !" , the girl said.

" Hmmm... " , Xi Yuan was satisfied with this arrangement as well .

At this time , Rong Xinghe's phone rang .

Conference call request by six users !

The girl walked out into the mansion's garden .

" Hello ! Handsome Hunks ! "

Zhi Xi : " How dare you step into the kitchen ?!"

Lu Wei : " Are your hands burned or cut somewhere ?! "

Zhi Bo : " Can't you not jump around for a second ?! "

Mo Zixuan : " Don't you dare tell me that Military Chief of Country X isn't provided with the best of the food varieties by New York ! "

Rong Xinghe blinked at the men for some time as she tried to digest all of their questions in one go .

" Uhhh bros ! Firstly , neither of my hands are burned or cut . Secondly , I dared to walk into the kitchen because you are making my friends serve me like servants. What was all that tea crap ? Huh ?! Me cooking is your punishment . And lastly , Bro Mo , even if all the chefs would have been here , I would have still cooked myself if I wanted . You know me ! "

Zhi Al : " Wait a second ! Whose shirt are you wearing ?! "

Rong Xinghe : " Yuan's "

All the six men : " ..... "

Rong Xinghe quickly covered her mouth when she understood the reason behind her brothers' silence .

F*ck !

That sounded so ambiguous !

" No ! No ! Its not like that ! We are not friends with benefits !!! " , the girl tried to explain desperately .

The six men again : " ..... "

But this time it sounded even more intimate!

Not friends with benefits ?!

Then what ?!

Romance ?!

The Vanilla Relationship ?!

" What I mean is that nothing happened . Uhh... I was a little dizzy last night because of the red wine. He brought me here and informed an old nanny to change them for me . So she just randomly put on the clothes given to her . I swear ! Nothing happened . "

" Hmm .... Don't get too close to him until you are really sure . I personally like him , but there are other factors worth considering ! " , Lu Wei said with a deep meaning .

" Brother , do I look like a person who would ever involve myself into the love crap ?! " , the girl smiled.

All the six people breathed out a sigh of relief when they heard her .

They really didn't wanted another Zhou Che into her life !

They couldn't see her in that pain again !

" What happened to your right hand's wrist , Military Chief ?! " , Su Rogguang asked as no wound could escape a doctor's eyes .

" Uhhh .... About that ... I ... It happened during a Military drill . It will be fine , though. Don't worry ! Okay , I gotta go . Bye ! Love you " , the girl said as she disconnected the video call.

" She is lying ! " , Su Rogguang said coldly .

" What do you mean ? " , Zhi Al asked .

" Those were definitely the marks of nails . Someone must have grabbed her wrist forcefully . I can bet on that ! What more , she bites her lips when she is anxious , nervous or lying to us ! " , Su Rogguang explained .

" Who would dare to touch her forcefully ?! " , Zhi Xi clenched his teeth .

" Who knows ? But if she is hiding it from us , that means only one thing . She would take revenge in her own style . Let's not make her uncomfortable . " , Mo Zixuan said.

" Yeah ! What else can we do ?! " , Zhi Bo sighed .
