Xiao Mo didn't want to say much to her either, so he just uttered a "hmm".
During those days, there was an unspoken understanding between the two of them. Neither upset the other; they coexisted peacefully.
During the day, they worked in the same office, and at night, they ate at the same table.
What surprised Xia Chuqing was that Xiao Mo didn't have many social engagements at night and often came back for dinner, sometimes even helping her cook.
His cooking skills weren't great, but he learned quickly.
Over time, he ended up doing most of the cooking for dinner, and she just handed him ingredients or a plate on the side.
But Xia Chuqing had to admit that he was smarter than her and his food tasted better.
Take a simple dish like sweet and sour pork for example; she'd followed the recipe for a long time and it was just so-so, but Xiao Mo only did it once or twice, and it tasted just like the restaurants, especially aromatic.
