It was noon, and Nian Mu finally translated one of the documents. He took a look at the time and saw that he was almost ready to prepare the hot pot.
She walked out of the bedroom. Li Ni was sitting on the sofa watching TV. The sound of the TV was adjusted to almost no sound for fear of disturbing her.
"Are you done?" Li Ni smiled brightly when she saw her coming out.
"I just finished part of the work, I'm going to prepare the hot pot now." Nian Mu said, walking towards the kitchen.
Because it is hot pot, cooking is not complicated. She only needs to mix the hot pot base ingredients and wash the hot pot ingredients.
Li Ni also walked in, "Let me help."
"No, just wait and eat." Nian Mu said, opening the refrigerator and taking out the ingredients.
"If you treat me to hot pot, there's no reason why you should help me with it. But I'm not good at cooking, so don't expect me to help you make hot pot ingredients. I can still wash the vegetables." Li Ni helped.
He took the vegetables and meat she took out from the refrigerator.
Seeing her insistence, Nian Mu smiled and shook his head, but did not refuse.
Li Ni looked at the hot pot ingredients in the bag and sighed, "I didn't expect that what you bought are all my favorites."
"Aren't these the same hot pot ingredients that come and go?" Nian Mu said, knowing that she would come over, so he picked some of her favorite hot pot ingredients by the way.
"There are too many hot pot ingredients, but these are all to my liking." Li Ni turned over and sighed: "There is really nothing I don't like to eat."
Nian Mu smiled, took out the hot pot base ingredients, and planned to make hot pot soup first. After all, this is the essence of a hot pot meal.
Li Ni took out the dishes one by one and sighed: "Nian Mu, if you didn't know, you would have thought that we have known each other for many years, and you know my taste so well."
Nian Mu opened the package of the hot pot base and said thoughtfully, "Maybe we have known each other for many years?"
Li Ni was startled, then turned to look at her busy making hot pot soup base, smiled, and said: "Really? That means I have forgotten you? If this is really the case, I have forgotten you before, which is really a sin.
You deserve to die."
Nian Mu shook his head and did not continue the topic, "By the way, you can squeeze some juice for me later. I plan to make this hot pot soup base a little spicier."
"The spicier one is more delicious." Li Ni nodded and agreed, "I'll take care of the juice."
So, the two of them worked together to quickly prepare a hot pot meal.
Nianmu poured the soup base on the induction cooker and pressed the switch.
Li Ni clapped her hands, with a smile on her face, "I haven't looked forward to a hot pot meal so much in a long time. Thank you, Nian Mu."
Nianmu poured the juice into the cup and said with a smile: "It's just a hot pot meal, what can you thank me for?"
"You don't know, since my mother got sick, I feel good if I can have a good meal, let alone hot pot." Li Ni took the juice she handed over and took a sip.
Because it was freshly squeezed by herself, she felt it was particularly sweet and took another sip.
Nianmu felt distressed as he listened.
Before, Song Beixi had blocked all this for her, but now, it was Li Ni who was silently shouldering the responsibility.
When others look at it, they feel distressed.
"Then you come here to eat with me more often. It's quite boring for me to eat alone." Nian Mu invited.
"Okay, but I guess you will be too busy to take care of me in the future. Your injury is almost healed. I see, you will be busy soon. I heard that you will also help with the T Group's bidding project.
,Really?" Li Ni asked.
"Yes, because their translator is still on vacation and has no way to come back to work, so I was asked to do the translation." Nian Mu explained. Unexpectedly, Li Ni didn't work for T Group and she still knew so much.
It seems that in T Group, she still has friends to help observe everything.
Are these all for Ruan Bai?
Nianmu thought to herself, the hot pot soup boiled and rolled again. She came to her senses, opened the lid of the pot, and said, "You can add the side dishes."
Li Ni quickly put on her favorite meatballs and vegetables.
Nianmu picked up the fat cow, put a big piece in, and said, "Don't forget there is a fat cow."
"Yes, fat cow is my favorite." Li Ni said with a smile.
The two of them were waiting for the meatballs and vegetables in the pot to be cooked, when the door of the apartment was suddenly pushed open.
The two of them looked towards the door at the same time.
Mu Shaoling walked in.
Nian Mu opened his mouth slightly in astonishment. Why did he come? Didn't he make it clear on WeChat that Li Ni was here?
Is it because of Song Beixi that he came here because he knew Li Ni was coming?
Nian Mu had a gut feeling that Mu Shaoling was not that kind of person, not to mention that T Group was busy now.
She glanced behind him. After Mu Shaoling walked in, he closed the door and changed his shoes in one go. No one else came in behind him.
Nian Mu was speechless. He knew that Li Ni was coming now, so he came over on purpose.
Li Ni came back to her senses, looked at the man walking over, and asked doubtfully: "Mr. Mu?"
"Yeah." Mu Shaoling glanced at the bottom of the hot pot, his eyes flashed, and he sat down.
Li Ni watched his movements and suddenly thought that this apartment had an electronic password lock. Although Mu Shaoling lived in this apartment for Nian Mu, there was no way she had not changed the password.
Could it be that he changed the password and then let Mu Shaoling know about it? So he could come in and out freely?
But no matter what the situation is, it is a fact that Mu Shaoling can enter and exit this apartment freely.
Li Ni looked at Nian Mu. Although she was also surprised, it seemed that their relationship was unusual.
She thought about the men's clothes on the balcony again. Those expensive men's clothes seemed to belong to Mu Shaoling.
"Are you eating hot pot? Can you give me a pair of bowls and chopsticks?" Mu Shaoling sat next to Nian Mu and asked.
Nian Mu came back to his senses and wondered why Mu Shaoling would do this. The two of them were innocent, but in the eyes of outsiders, how could an innocent person live together like this?
To be honest, there is no such thing as sharing a single apartment.
"I'll go to the kitchen to get it for you." Nian Mu stood up with a complicated expression and glanced at Li Ni. Without carefully studying her expression, he knew that she must have thought a lot, and maybe she had misunderstood...
She didn't know how to explain it, and it wasn't easy to explain it in front of Li Ni.
Nian Mu walked into the kitchen and got a pair of bowls and chopsticks for Mu Shaoling, planning to finish eating before talking.
Mu Shaoling took the bowl and chopsticks, glanced at the side dishes, and said, "It looks quite rich."
"Yes." Nian Mu responded softly. He had been sitting here before, and it was not good to suddenly move his position, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to sit next to Mu Shaoling.
They sat like this, like a host and hostess, with guests sitting opposite them.
