<h4>Chapter 443: Chapter 443: Outstanding Performance</h4><h4></h4>


    Lin Huixi turned her head to nce at the USB stick plugged into theptop–it had already been taken by Nangong. She couldn’t help but chuckle and shake her head.


    "Alright, alright, since it’s like this, we’ll just leave it be. Anyway, I reckon you’ll have plenty of chances to meet up in the future."


    Lin Huixi said to Xiao Yifei, "Xiao Yi, don’t worry, your thesis definitely yed a role. We all could see it, it’s just that he’s too proud to admit it."


    "You two sit tight for a while, I’m going to cook."


    Lin Huixi instructed while smiling at Xiao Yifei and then walked into the kitchen.


    Lin Huixi and Nangong Yun weren’t wrong. Nangong truly was inspired by Xiao Yifei’s thesis. Firstly, he was eager to verify one of the points in Xiao Yifei’s thesis, and secondly, he was somewhat impatient to see what the second half of Xiao Yifei’s paper was about, but he felt too embarrassed to read it at home, so he was in such a hurry to leave.


    "Xiao Yifei, don’t mind it. My dad just can’t swallow his pride, which is why he said those things just now,"


    Nangong Yun earnestly said to Xiao Yifei.


    "No worries, it’s not a big deal. This time, your parents have epted me, so they probably won’t urge you to find a boyfriend anymore, right?"


    Xiao Yifei said with a faint smile, not truly bothered about it. After all, issues that could be resolved with his irvoyance Superpower weren’t really problems for Xiao Yifei. Yet, at this moment, Xiao Yifei should consider that he had resolved a major issue for Nangong Yun.


    "How do you n to thank me?"


    Xiao Yifei asked with a mischievous smile, narrowing his eyes at Nangong Yun.


    Upon hearing Xiao Yifei’s suggestive words, Nangong Yun shot Xiao Yifei a fierce re.


    "You’re already my boyfriend, what more do you want me to do to thank you!"


    Normally cold and reserved, Nangong Yun suddenly revealed a flirtatious side, which sent a shudder through Xiao Yifei’s heart. Looking at the icy beauty, his mind shed back to the memory of Nangong Yun kneeling before him.


    Xiao Yifei’s eyes glinted with a naughty light, which Nangong Yun quickly picked up on. Aware of what was going through his mind, she nced at Xiao Yifei, her cheeks turning slightly red, and fell silent.


    "Hehe, no rush, no rush. We’ll take it slow!"


    Seeing Nangong Yun’s reaction, Xiao Yifei chuckled gleefully.


    "What are you two chatting about? You seem so happy!"


    Lin Huixi came out from the kitchen and said to Xiao Yifei and Nangong Yun with a smile.


    Although the Nangong family could very well afford to hire someone to cook for them, Lin Huixi still enjoyed the feeling of cooking herself. She had just finished a dish and was about to ask Xiao Yifei and Nangong Yun toe wait at the dining table.


    "Hurry and wash your hands. Once you’re done, wait at the dining table. Yunyun, it’s been a long time since youst had a meal cooked by Mom. Today I made your favorite braised prawns with oil. Xiao Yi, you can try it too. I’m full of confidence in my own cooking skills,"


    Lin Huixi said to Xiao Yifei with a smile.


    "Haha, Auntie, because you said so, I’ll definitely have to have a good taste!"


    Xiao Yifei broke into a broad grin.


    Before long, the table was filled with dishes that were a feast for the eyes, nose, and pte. Xiao Yifei was absolutely stunned; he hadn’t expected that in such a schrly family, Lin Huixi could actually cook so well.


    "Auntie, you don’t even have to taste it. Just the aroma is enough to make my mouth water uncontrobly!"


    Xiao Yifei took a deep breath and spoke earnestly to Lin Huixi.


    "Xiao Yi, you really have a way with words!"


    Lin Huixi was utterly delighted by Xiao Yifei’sments, covering her mouth as sheughed heartily.


    Even Nangong Yun couldn’t help but turn her head to take a long, deep look at Xiao Yifei. No matter what, Xiao Yifei had been especially cooperative with her today. Everything Xiao Yifei had done had greatly satisfied Nangong Yun and touched her deeply.


    "I really should thank him properly," she said.


    A trace of spring warmth shed through Nangong Yun’s eyes as she looked at Xiao Yifei.


    Xiao Yifei nced at Nangong Yun strangely because he felt the way Nangong Yun was looking at him was a bit odd.


    "Let’s eat. It looks like your dad won’t being back; he must have gone to the research institute. Never mind him, let’s just eat!"


    Lin Huixi saidughingly to Nangong Yun, then she turned her head to Xiao Yifei, "Xiao Xiao, eat more! I made a lot of dishes today, there’s no need to be polite, we have plenty!"


    "Thank you, Auntie!"


    Xiao Yifei smiled and nodded to Lin Huixi.


    Although Nangong wasn’t present, the atmosphere at the dinner table among the three of them was still very good. Especially since Lin Huixi admired Xiao Yifei, not a single unpleasant incident urred, and all three of them were very happy.


    Lin Huixi kept serving more dishes to Xiao Yifei, andbined with Xiao Yifei’s enhanced appetite due to the "Dragon Transformation Technique," the entire table of food was amazingly finished by the three of them, with arge part of it ending up in Xiao Yifei’s stomach.


    Seeing how much Xiao Yifei had eaten, Lin Huixi’s eyes filled with even more admiration. Although Nangong Yun’s parents were both highly-educated intellectuals, people from their generation held some unique views on certain matters.


    For example, Lin Huixi now believed that Xiao Yifei, being such a big eater, must have excellent health, and following him, Nangong Yun surely wouldn’t suffer or face any unnecessary trouble.


    Finally, after thest shrimp was devoured by Xiao Yifei, the dishes were cleaned out, leaving nothing but empty tes and bowls.


    "Auntie! No more, no more, I’m really full!"


    Xiao Yifei repeatedly waved his hands to refuse as Lin Huixi was about to head to the kitchen to get him more food.


    And Nangong Yun, witnessing this, couldn’t help the warm glow that flickered in her eyes; her love for Xiao Yifei deepened even further.


    After the meal, Xiao Yifei stayed a while longer at Nangong Yun’s ce before leaving together with her.


    The main purpose of Xiao Yifei and Nangong Yun’s visit today was to prove that Nangong Yun had a boyfriend, and a particrly outstanding one at that! Nangong Yun’s goal was achieved, earning unanimous approval from her parents.


    And with Xiao Yifei having made Nangong Yun’s mother so happy, it could be said he had more than aplished his mission.


    Under Lin Huixi’s reluctant gaze, Xiao Yifei got into Nangong Yun’s car and drove away from her home.


    "How was it, I did pretty well, right?"


    Xiao Yifei asked, winking at Nangong Yun while sitting in the car.


    Nangong Yun turned to nce at Xiao Yifei but didn’t answer his question before turning back to continue driving. Xiao Yifei, left without a response, murmured something to himself then turned away and stopped talking.


    This was the first time Nangong Yun had shown a cool demeanor toward Xiao Yifei since she confessed her feelings to him. Previously, she had been very responsive to anything Xiao Yifei said. Xiao Yifei didn’t quite understand why, after a visit home and after gaining her parents’ approval, Nangong Yun had suddenly be like this again.


    The Audi stopped at the entrance of Jinghang Garden, and Xiao Yifei opened the door and got out, ready to go home. However, just as Xiao Yifei was about to leave, Nangong Yun suddenly called out to him.


    "What’s up?" Xiao Yifei asked.


    Nangong Yun’s beautiful cheeks turned noticeably red. She lifted her head to nce at Xiao Yifei, then quickly lowered it again, "Next time youe to the hospital to find me, I have a gift for you."


    After saying this, Nangong Yun, seemingly too shy, stepped on the gas and drove off. Xiao Yifei watched as Nangong Yun disappeared from view, a mysterious sparkle in his eye.


    Then, the corners of Xiao Yifei’s mouth slightly curled up, "Hehe, a gift, what kind of gift?"
