When Li Yan opened her eyes again, the sun was already shining through the curtains. It was hard to tell it was transparent because with only a look, it felt as if she was being surrounded by a warm light.

Li Yan picked up her phone at the side of the bed and looked at the time. It was 11:11.

The time on her phone made her mouth move uncomfortably, but compared to cursing this ordinary time of day, she would rather curse the hours of sleep she was getting. Last night, no – a more accurate description would be this morning – she went to sleep at five o'clock and had less than six hours of sleep.

Sighing, Li Yan worried about the state of her skin as she rolled off the bed. After simply washing her face, she gently pushed the door, and like a thief she poked her head out to stare at the empty corridor. Although it was almost noon, the house was as silent as if it was the middle of the night.

Since she was scared of disturbing a certain someone's sleep, Li Yan's footsteps were particularly cautious. Mo Zhen's bedroom door was closed and there was nobody in the living room. It seemed that he hadn't gotten up yet.

Li Yan stood upstairs thinking and decided to fulfill her responsibility as an assistant – making lunch.

Although Mo Zhen did not spend much time eating at home, the refrigerator was still rich in ingredients. Looked at the dazzling variety in front of her, Li Yan suddenly remembered that Tang Qiang telling her that before, all these chores had been done by him, but now it was her job.

Why were they looking for an assistant? It was obvious they were looking for a nanny ah! Nowadays, the wages of nannies were all calculated by the hour. The company was only paying her five thousand dollars a month, was she not suffering a big loss ah?

While calculating this debt in her heart, she picked a couple of tomatoes that looked pleasing to her eyes. The menu for lunch today... Tomato scrambled eggs and tomato egg soup!

Mo Zhen woke up soon after she got up. He had been standing upstairs watching Li Yan rushed around the kitchen with great interest.

Walking down the stairs, Mo Zhen looked at the tomato scrambled eggs and tomato egg soup in the kitchen. The porcelain bowl next to it was also filled with white molasses and tomatoes. En, it was really a tomato feast.

"You truly love tomatoes." Mo Zhen's mouth tried to contain his smile. He opened the refrigerator door and took out a lemon. Li Yan watched as he put the lemon onto the cutting board and grabbed the fruit knife beside it.

His eyes and hands were swift as he quickly sliced the lemon with the tip of his knife, "You just suffered from stomach pain a few hours ago and now dare to eat a frozen lemon? It's you who has a true love for lemons. "

Mo Zhen froze. He felt that Ah Yao had said this exact same sentence before. However, when Li Yan saw him silent, she thought that it was because what she had said was too reasonable, so he could only be speechless in response.

Satisfied, she put down the lemon down in her hands and then pushed Mo Zhen out, "You go rest in the living room, I'm almost done."

Mo Zhen turned his head to look at her. His gaze circled around the variety of different tomatoes and finally he said, "I'll only ask one question - Have you cooked the rice?"

Rice?

Li Yan: "..."

Mo Zhen: "..."

Half-an-hour had already passed before Li Yan finally finished washing and cooking the rice. Fortunately, the weather was not considered to be cold and the dishes did not really cool, but taking Mo Zhen's delicate stomach into account, Li Yan heated up the tomato egg soup again.
