Chapter 137: 137
She couldn’t risk that, so avoidance was her next best option .
She went into the kitchen and gave the steak preparation that she had learned that morning a try . She also made a stock on the side for the chef to critique tomorrow .
When all was said and done, she had spent close to 3 hours in the kitchen .
She was drenched in her own sweat, and her back was sore from standing for so long .
But, as soon as she thought about that if her cooking was good and the boss’s fondness for her reached LV4 or LV5… she couldn’t stop chuckling .
She tried a small piece of the steak after she was done before she nodded and put it inside the fridge . She then walked back into her room, content .

While she was happily soaking in the tub and applying her face mask, the light in the study was still on .
Huo Sishen, sitting on his leather chair, was holding a notebook in his hand that was just given to him by Siyi .
“You found this?”
Siyi dared not looked up . “I think it belongs to Miss Gu . She left it in the kitchen . It looked like her handwriting . ”
Huo Sishen frowned and flipped it open .
Tender fried steak .
It looked like Chef Zheng’s handwriting . It’s his secret recipe book .
He was stunned when he looked over at the end of the page .
Next to the instructions that were written in pen, there were cute drawings and writing in pencil .
[The boss likes meat . Must make!]
Under the words, there was a drawing of a round, cartoon steak .
Surrounding the piece of steak, there was a circle of round, plump vegetables, laughing and fighting to jump into the pot .
[The boss does not like vegetables . Must be stealthy when adding them . ]
The handwriting was delicate like that from a girl… And filled with childishness .
Yet, the painting of this childish person would sometimes impress him .

Like the bamboo on the fan .
Her bold, elegant, and antiquitous writing along with the solitary bamboo that was standing straight up by its lonesome, fighting to live…
Acceptable .
Huo Sishen’s tightly shut lips started to curve .
The chilliness around him started to dissipate .
“If it belongs to her, why are you bringing it to me? Siyi, your competency is dropping . ”
SMACK! And the notebook was tossed to the table .
Siyi, being called out, nodded quickly and said, “Okay, I will bring it back to Miss Gu right away . ”
Boss… your words would be much more convincing if you didn’t smile when you talk!
He turned around and headed for the door .

A deep voice stopped him again .
“Come back . ”
Huo Sishen’s long and slender fingers drummed on the desk .
After a while, it stopped again .
“Never mind . It’s fine . Go . ”
Siyi nodded and walked out of the study immediately .
Doctor Qin was right . The boss was different than he was before!
He had become moodier and indecisive…
But he was right about one thing .
The boss’s mood improved when he saw Miss Gu’s stuff .
When he was in a good mood, it made life easier for everyone who worked for him .

The thought of it lightened Siyi’s steps .

Gu Shishi was baffled when someone knocked on her door .
But when she saw Siyi and the notebook that she had left in the kitchen, she was pleasantly surprised .
Before she was able to thank him, she heard reminders buzzing in her ears .
So melodious!
[Beep! Fondness from Huo Sishen rising dramatically!]
[Beep! Male lead’s adoration is increasing . Back to LV2! Right now, 60% more to LV3!]
Went up so abruptly? And by so much?
She had just fallen back to LV1 and now it went back up . Almost back to the same level as before!
