Jiang Yuzhu entered the kitchen with a clear menu in mind. She planned to cook several dishes that Pei Jingchuan particularly favored, wanting to give him a surprise.
She began efficiently taking out the necessary ingredients from the refrigerator and storage cabinet: fresh vegetables, tender meats, various seasonings. Her movements were orderly, revealing confidence in cooking.
As she busied herself, a housemaid walked into the kitchen, saw Jiang Yuzhu preparing dinner, and said with a smile, "Miss, let me help you. You're so busy with work usually; there's no need for you to cook personally."
Jiang Yuzhu turned around, smiled, and shook her head, "Thank you, Auntie Li, but today I want to do it myself. This is a little surprise for Jingchuan, and I want him to feel my sentiments."
Understanding Jiang Yuzhu's intention, the housemaid smiled and said, "Then I won't disturb you. Call me if you need help."
