Zuko was stunned, and a chill ran down his spine.
Lina approached slowly, her smile growing, but her eyes were ice-cold. “Oh, Zeke, such a talented person wasted in
our small shop!”
The corners of Zuko’s lips twitched. “What… are you saying?”
“I’m saying…” Lina fixed her gaze on his face. “Someone has an only daughter in their family, and all the family
assets will belong to the daughter in the future! Heh! What a great deal! Isn’t it?”
“Well…”
Facing Lina, who only reached his chest, Zuko did not even dare to move, standing there obediently like an

However, he felt like laughing seeing Lina, who was full of jealousy. She was jealous, but what he felt was
sweetness.
Zuko could not help but curl his lips, but his smile annoyed Lina.
She bit her lip, tightly gripping the lunchbox in her hand until her knuckles turned white.
When she returned home after her lunch break, she heard that he was alone in the shop. Worried that he would not
eat properly, she picked the largest pieces of chicken Melissa had made and packed them in a container and a full
bowl of noodles, rushing to bring it to him.
Even her father, who was lying in bed with a waist injury, had never been treated like this!
What did she see when she arrived at the entrance of the supermarket?
Mary, whose wish was for the world to go down in flames, was actually instigating Zeke to dump her! It was simply
unacceptable!
Lina took a deep breath. Although she knew it was not Zuko’s fault, she also knew that the group of housewives in
the alley were always watching him, coveting him as their son-in-law.
She just felt uncomfortable, annoyed, and uneasy! She could not help being jealous.
Why should others covet her husband?
If those housewives knew that their marriage certificate was fake, they would surely come and snatch him away!
The more Lina looked at Zuko’s handsome face, the angrier she became!
Why did he have to look so good for no reason? Was it fun for him to attract attention in the shop!?
Zuko looked at her puffed-up face, cautiously approached her, and grinned, seeing the food container in her hand.

Lina widened her eyes. So, it was only about the food in his eyes!?
“What are we having today?” Zuko saw that her expression was worsening and wanted to change the subject
quickly. He suddenly reached over and snatched the food container, saying, “Hmm… honey chicken? Your mom
made it? The smell alone is delicious! Hehe…”
Lina could not hold it in. She glared at him and turned her head to walk away.
Zuko had just put a piece of chicken in his mouth when she left. His cheeks puffed as he watched her go.
‘Uh-oh, did I anger her?’
He had clearly tried to be humorous just now and brush off the matter about Mary… His sense of humor was picked
up from Toph.
Why did this trick work with Toph coaxing girls but failed when he used it?
