Chapter 886


    Hand in hand, the couple walked out of the building.


    Meanwhile, the employees sighed, convinced that their president was indeed blinded by love.

    At the grocery store, Pearl watched as Richard zoned, staring at a broli. She nudged him with


    her elbow. "You said you can cook. Why do I feel like you''ve never cooked in your life?"

    Richard wasn''t about to admit he''d watched countless cooking videos and broken a few pans before


    mastering a few dishes. "You don''t need to worry about that," he replied, looking into her eyes with a


    slight frown before grabbing some carrots.


    Seeing the carrots in the cart, Pearl grabbed them. "I don''t like carrots."


    Richard realized he hadn''t asked about her preferences or dietary restrictions. "What else don''t you


    like?"


    Pearl started listing them, counting on her fingers. "Carrots, sprouts, celery, bitter gourd, fish, and—"


    Richard''s head began to ache. All the ingredients she listed were ones he knew how to cook.


    Frowning, he realized she might not enjoy the dishes he had nned.


    Noticing his change in mood, Pearl softened her tone. "I don''t totally hate them. Once in a while is


    fine."


    Richard perked up. "Then I''ll stick to my n."


    But Pearl really didn''t like carrots. She clenched her jaw. Why should she have to exin herself?


    They could eat out. Why force herself to eat food she didn''t like?


    But if she refused now, he would be embarrassed.


    Pearl nodded. "I''ll love everything you make."


    After Richard picked out the ingredients, they headed to the checkout. However, an unwee


    encounter awaited them at the cashier.


    "Hi, Pearl. What a coincidence, Richard too—"


    Richard wasn''t expecting to see Hanzel here. "What are you doing here, Hanzel?"


    Hanzel''s expression changed. "Don''t say my name so loud. There are fans here. I might have to run


    if they see me."


    Richard''s lips twitched, and he nced at Feather Dous. "Is this your girlfriend?"


    Hanzel was about to confirm when Feather interjected, "No, he''s just my sidekick."


    Pearl couldn''t help but chuckle. "You have an interesting way ofmunicating."


    "Why do you look excited?" Richard raised an eyebrow subtly.
