Invincible Urban Evil Doctor

Chapter 689: Chapter 716: The Unbelievable Xiang Juan (Combined Two-in-One)

Xiang Juan, who was ready to turn and run, shivered as soon as she heard the voice, but then she was suddenly stunned, "Lin Xi?"

The next moment, she looked toward the kitchen with some suspicion, and Lin Xi was standing at the kitchen door, showing a faint smile as he looked at her.

He was indeed worried; what if Xiang Juan ran away, how would he explain it to Elder Xiang when he came back?

Should he say, I accidentally scared your granddaughter away!

Or perhaps say, your granddaughter found out you weren’t around, so she went out to look for you without looking back!

This kind of explanation was something even Lin Xi himself wouldn’t believe, let alone Elder Xiang, who knew his granddaughter so well.

At this point, Xiang Juan rubbed her eyes, looking at Lin Xi with a bit of disbelief and asked with great confusion, "Why are you here? Where’s my grandpa?"

Lin Xi walked over to her, explaining as he went, "I came to get some medicine, but your grandpa didn’t have some of the herbs, so he went to the market to buy them for me!"

Xiang Juan paused for a moment, with a slightly strange expression, "Why does my grandpa have to go out to buy herbs as soon as you come? "

"When others come to buy from my grandpa, he always has them!"

"Tell me, do you have some scheme against me?"

Lin Xi chuckled, "Because my prescription requires some uncommon herbs, and many are quite rare."

"As for whether I have a scheme against you?"

He paused, looking at Xiang Juan’s curious expression, and said again, "Your grandpa already wants you to marry me, so do I still need a scheme against you?"

"You have to know, all that you have will be mine in the future; what’s mine will still be mine!"

Xiang Juan, "..."

"I’m not yours at all, and you lied to me last time, my grandpa never promised me to you, you liar!" She puffed up her cheeks, looking extremely adorable in her pouting anger.

Lin Xi thought to himself, "Sure enough, she talked to her grandpa about that later."

However, he watched Xiang Juan without a change in his expression, pretending not to know what she was talking about.

This made Xiang Juan really angry, and suddenly she remembered being embraced by someone just now. She walked over to Lin Xi’s side, looking left and right into the kitchen, cautiously saying,

"Just now someone was behind me, I don’t know who it was?", "Can you go check if that person is still in the kitchen?"

Lin Xi, "..."

It was clear she hadn’t realized that the person who embraced her just now was him.

To know that he was just at the kitchen door, she could have easily guessed it was him without much imagination.

Lin Xi, feeling somewhat helpless, patted Xiang Juan’s slightly tense shoulder, "No need to look; it was me who hugged you just now!"

"I wanted to give you a surprise but ended up scaring you!"

At this moment, Xiang Juan was first stunned, then she patted her chest, "It really was you? You better not be lying to me?"

"I’m not lying to you!"

Seeing Lin Xi so firm, her always tense shoulders finally relaxed, and she exhaled deeply, as if she had been holding her breath for a long time.

A moment later, she suddenly slapped her forehead, with a look of panic on her face, shouting, "Oh no, the soup I was boiling might be ruined!"

After speaking, she no longer paid attention to Lin Xi, she ran straight to the kitchen.

Lin Xi followed her in and heard Xiang Juan saying, "Fortunately, fortunately, there’s no big problem, otherwise what I did before would have been in vain!"

Then she started to busy herself in the kitchen, paying attention to the heat, adding firewood, washing vegetables, and cutting them...

"Don’t cut the vegetables; leave it to me!" Lin Xi said.

But Xiang Juan refused, "No need, liar, I’m managing, and do you even know how to cut vegetables?"

"So you just wait in the hall there until my grandpa comes back."

It was obvious that she thought Lin Xi couldn’t do any of these things.

In fact, even if he could, he would probably be clumsy; after all, in today’s society, how many young men can cook well, and of course, not many young women can either.

Yes, most just eat out or manage somehow.

"Cutting vegetables is not that hard!" Lin Xi said.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Juan, who was originally angry at Lin Xi for scaring her intentionally and not seeing her for so long, actually held back a lot of anger, just that she was simple and cute, she didn’t say it out loud.

But when Lin Xi said this, she retorted, "Actually, everyone can cut vegetables; it’s just a matter of how well they are cut."

"Of course, if cut well, then it adds appetite when eating, but if not cut well, even the delicious dish will be much discounted."

Saying this quite reasonably, Lin Xi still said, "Believe me, I assure you, it’ll be well-cut!"

An overwhelmed Xiang Juan nodded, in fact, she was really starting to be overwhelmed, and if blame were to be placed, it could only be on Lin Xi, who disturbed her just now.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so busy now.

"Alright, you come help me cut!" she said.

In her heart, she was already thinking, even if it doesn’t look good, then so be it!

Lin Xi took the knife from Xiang Juan’s hand, while Xiang Juan ran to the stove to continue managing the heat, she didn’t notice Lin Xi had picked up the knife, slicing the vegetables she prepared at a speed almost too fast for the eye to catch.

And the shapes of the cuts could be said to be perfect.

The next moment, Lin Xi walked to Xiang Juan’s side again and asked, "Shall I manage the heat for you while you wash your face? It’s all smudged!"

"No need, I’ll wash after this is done, no time now." Xiang Juan said without turning her head, but then she realized Lin Xi was supposed to be cutting vegetables, did he get stuck?

So she continued, "I told you, cutting vegetables is not that easy, you just didn’t listen to me."

"Now you just keep controlling the heat for me, if it exceeds or weakens, just take a burning log out or add another one, it’s simple, if you can’t handle it, call me."

After speaking, she walked towards the corner where the vegetables were cut.

But she had barely taken three steps when she saw the neatly cut raw ingredients on the chopping board.

Having frequently been in the kitchen and influenced by her grandpa for years, she could just about qualify for working in a Michelin restaurant.

But now, seeing the perfectly cut vegetables, she was completely stunned.

You know the raw materials for each dish weren’t much, but some were hard to cut; at her usual speed, at least a dozen minutes were needed to finish them.

"What just happened?" she couldn’t believe it, not believing it was Lin Xi who cut these.

If it was, then is he even human?

Lin Xi smiled, "Of course cutting vegetables!"

"Did you do it all yourself?"

"Of course."

"So fast?"

"I could have been even faster..."

Xiang Juan had reached the chopping board, looking at the perfectly cut vegetables, compared to the ones she just cut, for the first time in her life she thought her own cuts looked so ugly!

Turning around and returning to Lin Xi’s side, she saw the heat was being controlled better than she had just managed, and she was stunned on the spot.

After a while, feeling a bit unreal, she said, "Then I’ll go wash my face first!"

"Mm." Lin Xi nodded.
