Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 801 The Capitalist's Daughter vs. the Tough Guy Military Officer (33)

Yan Zheng got up with a satisfied look on his face and stood by the bed to get dressed.

His gaze fell on his lover, who was wrapped in a blanket on the bed. "Shuyi, take a nap. I'll wake you up to eat when I've made dinner."

"Mmm," Shen Shuyi responded, her voice thick with nasal resonance.

Seeing her delicate appearance, Yan Zheng's heart softened and he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her forehead.

Meeting her bright eyes, he felt a little guilty. "Could you be gentler next time?"

Shen Shuyi lifted the blanket, revealing several teeth marks on her fair skin, and accused him, "Look at what you've done!"

"Are you a dog?!"

Yan Zheng's eyes darkened considerably. "I'll definitely be more careful next time."

Shen Shuyi dozed off on the bed for a while, then got dressed and got up.

Upon entering the courtyard, one could see Yan Zheng preparing scallops, shrimp, and crabs. Since they live near the sea, seafood is easier to obtain than beef or mutton. The kitchen was already emitting a rich aroma of cooked rice.

"Brother Zheng, are we going to eat this later?"

Yan Zheng nodded, "Okay, I'll buy a chicken tomorrow and we'll make poached chicken."

"Crispy skin, white meat, tender and juicy, you might like it with ginger and scallion sauce."

Shen Shuyi nodded, "I want to eat it!"

She knew that poached chicken was a local specialty.

"Brother Zheng, is there anything I can help you with?"

Yan Zheng glanced back at the cucumbers in the basket. "I can wash the cucumbers; I'll make cucumber salad later."

"Cucumber salad? I can make that!" Shen Shuyi said enthusiastically. "Let me tell you, I learned a lot of dishes from Sister Lian and Sister Chan's families."

Yan Zheng knew that she had a friendly relationship with her neighbors and had even helped their company commander Ai Hua's wife get medical treatment. This was the first time she had ever mentioned teaching him how to cook.

"Oh, so besides cucumber salad, what other dishes can you make?"

Shen Shuyi counted on her fingers, "Hmm, boiled shrimp, wild vegetable soup, seaweed and egg soup, and boiled pork!"

That's all, but I'll learn more in the future.

Yan Zheng chuckled, and seeing that she had actually picked up a kitchen knife and started smashing cucumbers, he quickly went over and said, "Be careful."

"Don't worry, it's just a quick slap, what's so difficult about that?" Shen Shuyi raised the knife and slapped the cucumber. With a "bang," the entire cucumber was sent flying.

Yan Zheng snatched the kitchen knife from her, grabbed her hand, and asked, "How was it? Did you manage to get a picture of her hand?"

"No, no, I'll be gentler next time, it'll definitely work."

Yan Zheng dared not let her touch the knife. "Go to the yard and see the flower seedlings I bought. See where they are to be planted, and you can design it so I can plant them."

Shen Shuyi wasn't in a hurry to look at the flower seedlings; instead, she circled around Yan Zheng, watching him cook.

The man's arms were strong and powerful; when he tossed the wok, the veins on his arms bulged. After caramelizing the sugar, he added the pork belly to the wok and stir-fried it, bringing out a rich meaty aroma.

Potatoes and pork belly, shrimp and mushroom soup, and a dish of sweet and sour cucumber salad.

Before all the dishes were served, Shen Shuyi scooped out the rice and let it cool.

"Wow, this smells so good!" Shen Shuyi put some food on Yan Zheng's plate and then started eating.

"Brother Zheng, I really want to learn how to cook so I don't have to bring back food from the cafeteria every day."

Yan Zheng looked up at her bright face and listened to her soft and charming voice. He couldn't bear to see her suffer.

"It's hot, and cooking around the kitchen is so tiring. It's better to bring the food back from the kitchen."

Shen Shuyi scolded him, "Then when you go on a mission, am I supposed to eat in the cafeteria?" "Others will laugh at you, but I don't care."

Yan Zheng chuckled and picked up a piece of lean meat for her. "We're living our own lives, what are we afraid of others laughing at?"

Shen Shuyi tapped the back of his hand with her chopsticks, "The main thing is that I get tired of eating in the cafeteria every day, so just let me learn and cook."

“Okay.” Yan Zheng had no reason to refuse. At most, he would finish his official business earlier each day and go home to cook earlier. It wasn’t like he was really asking her to cook every single meal.

The two were eating in the courtyard when they heard a series of footsteps outside, followed by a knock on the door.

Is Comrade Shen home?

Shen Shuyi and Yan Zheng exchanged a glance, got up, opened the courtyard gate, and saw several people in white uniforms walk in.

"I am Shen Shuyi. May I ask who you are?"

Someone present produced a work ID, saying, "We are staff members of the National Medical Research Department, and this is Professor Zhong, the chief professor of our institute."

"Hello, Comrade Shen, my name is Zhong Haizhen."

Shen Shuyi looked at the white-haired, dignified elder and said, "Professor Zhong, may I ask what brings you here?"

"Comrade Shen, we have learned that you have perfectly performed an almost impossible surgery. Such a feat, such talent! Professor Zhong has come here specifically to invite you to join the National Academy of Medical Sciences!"

Professor Zhong has always valued and cherished talent the most.

Shen Shuyi was not flattered and asked calmly, "Have you examined that patient's condition?"

Professor Zhong pondered for a moment and said, "I had already seen you before coming here. The surgery you performed was perfect; it was simply a medical miracle."

"Comrade Shen, on behalf of the National Academy of Medical Sciences, I formally invite you to join us. Medical talents like you should be at the forefront of medical research and create greater value for the country and the people!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he personally presented a red letter of appointment.

Shen Shuyi turned around and exchanged a glance with Yan Zheng. Yan Zheng nodded to her, "Shuyi, I support your choice."

"Okay." She accepted the letter of appointment and said to Professor Zhong and the others, "I will do my best."

……

A sharp-eyed person spotted people in military research institute uniforms going to the family compound, and upon inquiring, learned that Shen Shuyi had been invited to work at the research institute.

Everyone was shocked, and they couldn't help but discuss the matter during any spare moments.

"Hey, I heard that Comrade Shen has been exceptionally hired to work at the National Research Institute!"

"You don't know yet, do you? She saved someone who was about to die. Her medical skills are extraordinary. Of course, research institutes are eager to recruit someone like her."

"I never expected that this young lady from the city is a doctor! How come the Yan family never mentioned her before? We thought she was just a pretty face who couldn't even cook."

"Maybe there's a mistake. Does this lazy woman really have that kind of ability? If I were her mother-in-law, I would have taught her to stay home and take care of the housework. Isn't research something that men do?"

"Hehe, you're just jealous that he's successful."

"Professors from the National Institute of Human Resources and Social Security personally came to invite Comrade Shen. Is this for real?"

"Yes, I didn't expect Commander Yan's partner to be so successful. She's a national researcher now, working for the government."

Most people expressed envy and admiration for Shen Shuyi, while a few were secretly jealous.

Wang Wen and Xiao Shu rolled their eyes upon hearing these words. "She just got lucky!"

"Sister Wen, are you really willing to let Commander Yan be seduced by that vixen?" Xiao Shu was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Just because Yan Zheng bought so many wedding supplies for Shen Shuyi, it made Li Donghai seem too stingy towards her, and made her a laughing stock in the family compound.

To say that she married worse than Shen Shuyi, how could she possibly swallow this humiliation!
