Si Chuanbai sternly stared at the pork hock in his hand. After several hours of braising in marinade, the meat was a delicious shade of shining red. Still hot in his hand, the smell continued to waft and dominate his sense of smell.
Soon, he began to salivate involuntarily.
He’ll just…just have one bite.
With the mentality of trying one bite, he elegantly tore off a piece of meat and tasted it.
The moment the tip of his tongue touched the pork hock…
Rich with collagen, the pork’s hock was extremely tender and juicy. When chewed, it was fatty but not greasy, and the slight elasticity gave it a pleasant texture.
The fragrance of the marinade soaked through every inch of the meat, even braising the bones in flavor. It was fragrant, sweet, salty, fresh, nd spicy all at once. The oppressive taste instantly took over Si Chuanbai’s taste buds!
How…
How could…
How could this damned pork hock be so delicious!
Si Chuanbai’s hands began to tremble slightly as he was no longer able to satisfy his stomach just by tearing the meat with his hands!
Cursing under his breath, Si Chuanbai raised the pork hock and took a large bite!
The satisfaction brought about by this action was something smaller bites could never satisfy!
A renowned agent known for his meticulousness and strict demeanor, Si Chuanbai’s reputation was instantly changed at this moment as he happily gnawed on a pork hock from his hands!
When Ah Nan saw this scene…
Has Mr. Si never eaten good food? The speed of his fervent actions were a bit too exaggerated…
Ah! He must be too busy normally to sit down and have a good meal.
Thinking of this, Ah Nan looked at him sympathetically.
And so, Si Chuanbai consumed the entire pork hock. In front of him were more braised chicken feet, eggs, dried tofu, lotus root…
Ah Nan, the instigator, who still did not realize it was he who had destroyed Si Chuanbai’s reputation, turned to Si Chuanbai and grinned stupidly.
Si Chuanbai paused his chewing slightly. “…”
…This feather duster is actually pretty easy on the eyes after looking at him for a while.
After the meal.
Si Chuanbai wiped his hands and the corners of his mouth with a wet napkin and restored his elite stature.
He turned to Shi Sui and said in a low voice: “I have to talk to you.”
Shi Sui: “Heh?”
Shi Sui assumed his agent wanted to speak to him about business matters, but Si Chuanbai earnestly blurted out instead:
“Would you like me to check out some wedding venues for you?”
“How about a fertility clinic as well?”
“On the subject of children, there doesn’t seem to be any good schools in the districts of the properties you own.” Si Chuanbai sounded almost irritated. “If you continue to be like this, how can I allow Miss Xiang Yi to marry you!”
A question mark hovered over Shi Sui’s head.
Heh? Whose agent are you??
Si Chuanbai shook his head. “No, no, you cannot be like this. It seems like I must find some other jobs for you besides “Two Under One Roof”. How else will you make money to pay for baby formula?”
Shi Sui: “…Do I seem like someone who can’t afford to take care of their wife and kids?”
“It’s okay to live a little rough when you’re alone, but can you bear seeing Miss Xiang Yi suffer alongside you? Are you planning to become a gigolo?!”
Shi Sui raised a brow. “That’s not a bad suggestion you have there.”
Si Chuanbai sneered then instantly rebelled, like the lead antifan at a controversial event:
“Cheh. You think you can be one just because you want to? Miss Xiang Yi is so popular, and she is beautiful AND an amazing chef. There are hoards of young fresh meat lining up to date her. Where does an old man like you, who is about to hit thirty, stand in that line?”
Shi Sui: ???
