What if you were targeted by a cool and aloof beauty?

After An Chen left, the atmosphere in the living room suddenly became very heavy.

Jiuwu suddenly wished that Anchen would come out of the kitchen immediately.

He hesitated for a moment, then pretended to be nonchalant and followed Jiu Ge to look at the TV.

The TV was showing a news report about a little girl who accidentally fell from a building and was caught by a stranger's father.

Jiuge stared intently at the television, her expression serious, completely absorbed in the story.

Jiuwu felt that Jiuge seemed to have changed, yet also seemed unchanged.

Suddenly, Jiuge turned around and glanced at Jiuwu.

Noticing the gaze, Jiuwu turned around.

"Cousin, what are my parents busy with?" Jiuge suddenly turned her head and asked.

After saying that, she turned her gaze back to the television.

Jiuwu turned his head toward Jiuge, opened his mouth, and looked somewhat surprised.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke up, "I'm sorry, they didn't tell me."

Jiu Ge's parents simply called Jiu Wu early in the morning to tell him they were busy and asked him to keep an eye on Jiu Ge and assess the situation. If things weren't going well, they were to forcibly send Jiu Ge back to her family home.

“I see,” Jiuge replied calmly.

"..." Jiuwu remained silent.

He picked up the empty cup and pretended to drink water.

"How have you been lately, cousin?" Although her eyes were still glued to the TV, Jiu Ge hesitated for a moment before continuing to speak.

The desire for change has taken root in my heart.

“I want to try to communicate with you more,” she said, taking a breath and mustering her courage.

"From now on, I want to slowly get to know you." Jiuge slowly turned her head.

Jiuwu noticed that Jiuge's ears turned slightly red when she said this.

Chapter 148 Partnership (Seeking monthly votes and subscriptions)

When An Chen finished preparing lunch and came out, Jiu Ge and Jiu Wu had already been chatting for a long time, like newly acquainted friends, trying hard but awkwardly.

Seeing An Chen come out carrying things, Jiu Ge put down the milk candy, gave Jiu Wu some instructions, and then walked towards the kitchen.

In front of Jiuwu, who was still in a daze, Jiuge smiled and skillfully carried plates in and out of the kitchen with Anchen.

In Jiuwu's eyes, that scene resembled a family with a very good relationship, or a couple with a very good relationship.

"I just mustered up the courage to have a casual chat with my cousin," Jiu Ge said, holding a plate of stir-fried green peppers and pork, her voice slightly excited.

"Yes, I saw it. You worked very hard." An Chen wanted to pat Jiu Ge's head to encourage her, but he was holding things in both hands.

"Indeed, everything is difficult at the beginning. Once you get started, it becomes much easier later on." Jiuge placed the plate on the table and whispered her thoughts to An Chen.

“That’s true. At first, I was also afraid to touch spirit coins, but after I touched them and found that it was fine, I became reckless,” An Chen said in a deep voice.

While talking to Jiu Ge, he glanced at Jiu Wu's side.

Jiuwu was still in a daze, seemingly not yet fully accepting the scene before him.

"Your situation is too dangerous, it doesn't count!" Jiuge pouted and lightly punched An Chen in the waist area.

Of course, this time she didn't use any force at all.

To some extent, Jiuge can understand the difference between being serious and joking.

"Naughty." An Chen put down the dishes he was holding and gently pinched Jiu Ge's little nose.

He thought his kidneys were going to fail.

"Hehehe." Jiuge smiled shyly and winked at An Chen.

"Cousin, it's time to eat." Turning around, she composed herself and walked towards Jiuwu.

An Chen had assumed that Jiu Ge's parents were coming, but the meal he prepared was exceptionally lavish and many dishes were quite high-end.

Before even reaching the dining table, Jiuwu could already smell the enticing aroma.

He glanced at the food on the table and blinked in surprise.

Clear Broth Bird's Nest, Rock Sugar Snow Swallow, Braised Shark Fin, Yellow Croaker with Soup, Shredded Pork with Garlic Sauce, Cola Chicken Wings, Braised Chicken, Cumin Lamb, Stir-fried Pork with Green Peppers, Tomato and Egg Soup...

These dishes not only look like hotel food, with excellent color, aroma, and taste, but also include several dishes that are not commonly seen.

"Have you studied cooking?" Jiuwu asked, sitting down.

One bombshell after another was thrown at him, and he no longer had the mind to continue his neurotic behavior.

At least for now, Jiuwu looks like a perfectly normal, handsome adult.

"I only know a little bit." With that, An Chen moved his best and most delicious dish in front of Jiu Wu.

Since living alone, his cooking skills have indeed improved dramatically.

However, the fact that An Chen was able to make so many difficult dishes is also inseparable from the fact that he had been diligently practicing on his phone these past two days in order to "meet the parents".

"An Chen's cooking is always delicious." When Jiu Ge first saw these dishes that An Chen had never tried before, she was actually quite surprised, but she didn't show it.

They must have studied for a long time today.

"Thank you for taking such good care of my sister all this time." Jiuwu's opinion of An Chen changed considerably.

Jiuge is used to a life of luxury, but to do things like cleaning meticulously, remembering important things, helping Jiuge accurately convey information, and even cooking so many luxurious dishes for Jiuge every day...

This An Chen is not only a butler, but also works as a chef, secretary, and nanny!

"It's no trouble at all, it's my duty. Mr. Jiuwu, please don't stand on ceremony." An Chen smiled, took the rice that Jiu Ge had just served, and handed it to Jiuwu.

"Okay." Jiuwu nodded and began to eat.

It must be said that An Chen's dishes not only look beautiful, but also taste excellent.

When we went out for business dinners together at the hotel, the dishes prepared by the chef were almost as good as those served by other chefs.

During this meal, Jiuwu diligently ate his rice and a lot of vegetables.

He barely looked up while eating.

Finally, everything was eaten and we were full.

When I looked up again.

An Chen and Jiu Ge were silently picking at each other's food.

And their expressions... were just so sweet.

"What is the relationship between you two?" Jiuwu finally realized that something was wrong.

This situation, this scene, this change in the Nine Songs.

There's also the sudden discovery of a male partner to live with.

He wouldn't believe it if you told him there was nothing between them.

"We're nothing, this is just a partnership." To prevent his sister-obsessed brother Jiuwu from losing control, An Chen put down his chopsticks and said seriously.

"I don't believe it," Jiuwu roared.

His eyes were practically glued to me just now, like an old married couple. How could this be a partnership?

My dear little sister, she's about to be taken advantage of, and without her family knowing.

“There’s nothing between us… we’re partners…” Jiu Ge looked up, hesitantly explaining.

This is a white lie; she's brainwashing herself in her mind.

"I see, I understand." Jiuwu's expression relaxed upon hearing Jiuge's explanation.

He knew that such a thing was absolutely impossible.

An Chen remained silent.

……

It was already 3 p.m. after lunch.

Jiuge poured Jiuwu a glass of water and then went to the kitchen to help Anchen tidy up the kitchen and wash the empty plates.

Jiuwu sat on the sofa, still lost in thought.

After calming down, he still felt that this partnership was a bit strange.

Even if they're partners now, they might skip dating and get married in the future.

Jiuwu had considered reporting the situation to his family in detail for analysis, but Jiuge had told him not to tell his family about their partnership before she went to wash the dishes.

Twenty minutes later, An Chen and Jiu Ge finally came out chatting and laughing.

Jiuge sat back down on the sofa, holding a cat in her arms.

An Chen was about to sit back down on the stool.

As if he had thought of something, he ran to the cabinet and brought back two large bags.

"This is a birthday gift I bought for my mother. The other one is what we prepared for our parents." Seeing this, Jiuge stood up, took the gift bag, and handed it to Jiuwu.

"Could you give this to my mom and dad? No... give it to my father and mother," she said, tilting her head shyly.

"Okay." Jiuwu paused for a moment, then nodded.

He understood that Jiu Ge was giving a gift, but the one that she prepared with An Chen... was it a gift for each other's parents as partners?

"Thank you, cousin," Jiuge said.

"You're welcome." Jiuwu was still somewhat flattered.

He glanced at the time, then looked at An Chen.

"Is your spiritual power considered high?"

As a partner, if my spiritual power is sufficient, I could at least help share her burdens, let alone protect Jiuge.

Upon hearing this, An Chen was taken aback.
