"Now?" He frowned and twisted the word 'Chuan' into place.

"Right, is it inconvenient?"

"It's not that it's inconvenient, it's just …" He was so surprised that he almost forgot what he was supposed to say.

After a short while, he went to the magazine and accepted it.

"Alright, I'll go get it. Wait a moment." He rolled off the bed.

"I'll go with you." She jumped out of bed and followed him.

His eyes glanced at her strangely, "What are you doing? "Since when did you become so interested in red wine?"

"Shh …" This is a secret, hee hee! " she said, pressing her fingertips to her lips.

"You just love to make trouble." He remembered that when Steel had met her, she had been like this. She was eccentric, always giving him surprises, but then, of course, she had become a shock … However, everything seemed to have changed in this period of time. He had to admit, he liked this feeling, but the feeling caused by her change had disappeared.

When he entered the study, he took out the sample he had tried, opened a bottle and poured a cup into it, then handed it to her.

Lin Xiaoqing took it without saying a word. She simply raised her glass and looked around under the light, as if she was observing the color of the wine.

Then, she gently swirled the glass in her hand a few times. First she brought it to her nose and smelled it, her profile image seemed to be thinking of something, then she took a sip of wine and swirled it around her mouth for a few seconds, letting the fragrance of the red wine fill her mouth before letting the wine flow down her throat and down her throat.

Her proficiency and elegance made Song Beichuan lost in thought. She looked like a professional wine taster.

Afterwards, she did not move at all. It was as if she had fallen into some kind of spiritual trance.

"Xiaoqing?" he whispered to her.

"Hmm? "What?" Song Xiaoqing suddenly came to her senses. She raised her head, her eyes filled with complicated emotions.

This is... What's the situation? Song Beichuan was stunned. He even suspected that he saw a thin layer of mist under her eyes. What happened? He wondered where that look had come from. Was it just for a glass of wine?

"Xiaoqing, what happened to you?"

She blinked and opened her mouth for a while before calming herself down. She forced a smile and said, "I just thought of a person …"

One person? Song Beichuan was stunned. Why did the topic change to this? Puzzled, he asked her, "What do you mean?"

"Ah, I didn't mean that... I mean, maybe I can find a chef who can satisfy your customers. "

"Really?" He was still skeptical.

She lowered her head, looking extremely happy, "Yes, I thought of a very suitable person."

Song Beichuan was puzzled by her reaction. After some speculation, he asked: "The other party has a lot of cards up their sleeves, is it very difficult to get them to move them?"

"No."

"Then the price is very high?"

She shook her head.

"Otherwise?" He couldn't guess.

Lin Xiaoqing was silent for a few seconds. Then, as if she had suddenly woken up, she revealed a hearty smile and said, "It's alright, let's talk first." Do you have pen and paper? "

"Of course, this is the study room." Laughing, he opened the drawer and gave her something.

She took a pen and wrote down a name and address on the paper without any hesitation and gave it to Song Beichuan.

He took it and looked at it, then asked curiously: "Liu Dongqiang? Is that the cook's name? "

She didn't say anything, just nodded.

It was because of him. He was the one she had cheated on in her previous life … Liu Dongqiang. Before she said the name, she had actually been in a mental battle for a long time.

Only in the end, she thought, she didn't know him in this whole new life, and he wouldn't know her, so why not if he could help Beichuan?

So, she wrote down the name that seemed to be a taboo and gave it to Song Beichuan. She thought to herself, as long as I don't come into direct contact with him, there shouldn't be any problems, right?

Unfortunately, she was wrong.

Two days later, after Song Beichuan had finished his work, he told her at the dining table … She did find him, and his cooking style also received a favorable impression from the customer. However, even though Liu Dongqiang was a young and outstanding chef, he was very proud and arrogant, and was unwilling to let his dishes be the foil for red wine.

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoqing bitterly smiled. This was indeed what that man knew how to say.

"I'll go talk to him." She softly spat out these words, lifted the bowl as if nothing had happened, and took a sip of the hot soup.

"You? You want to talk about it? " As if she had said something funny, Song Beichuan laughed and lowered his head to continue eating his food. "How could I let you talk about this?"

"You think I don't have the ability? Afraid that I'll screw it up? " she asked with a slight smile.

"That's not what I meant," he shook his head. "I'll take care of the company's matters, there's no reason for you to take on these …"

"That's not a burden," Lin Xiaoqing interrupted him, saying seriously, "That's sharing the burden. If I think I can do it, then why don't you let me? Aren't we husband and wife? "

Alright, there was also the feeling of atonement. She felt that she owed him far too much.

Lin Xiaoqing's words rendered Song Beichuan speechless. In fact, of course, he was very clear about what business was all about, and he didn't want her to go through with it.

Seeing that he was in a difficult situation, she put down the bowl, stretched out her hand and pressed on his arm: "Let me go. In any case, you are not losing anything."

"It's not that I don't care about the damage or not, I'm just afraid that you …" He swallowed the latter half of his sentence.

"Afraid of what?" She couldn't help but be more vigilant.

He couldn't be afraid that she would fall in love with Liu Dongqiang, right? Isn't that too much of an exaggeration? Could it be that this is the so-called 'sixth sense of a man'?

After a while, Song Beichuan opened his mouth, "Liu Dongqiang is a very arrogant man, his words are a little mean, and you have no experience, how could I dare let you fight with him?"

So he was worried about this. He was afraid that she would be bullied. Lin Xiao Qing heaved a sigh of relief, revealing a smile. "Please be at ease. My skin is thick, so I'm not afraid."

"Are you thick-skinned?" Hearing this, he frowned and laughed out loud three times. "If you're that thick-skinned, then wouldn't I be an enemy of steel plates?"

After some consideration, Song Beichuan finally nodded and agreed.

Lin Xiaoqing sighed and shook her head with a wry smile. She crossed over time and space to reach another time line, but she still had to face that restaurant and that man … This was the test, she thought.
