Ning Shu and An Nuan’s conversation fell into a dead end.
“You can leave the company.”
“No, I can’t leave the company, because I need this job.”
“You can look for another job. You don’t frickin’ have the money to pay for the vase.”
“No, I can’t leave the company.”
“Why the heck can’t you leave the company?”
“I just can’t. That trashy man will look down on me.”
Ning Shu wiped at her face, then took out some money from her bag to give to An Nuan. An Nuan immediately became unhappy. Ning Shu said, “This money is for you to take a cab to the hospital to get your leg looked at.”
“No thanks! I don’t want it!” An Nuan turned and started limping away.
Ning Shu couldn’t be bothered to look at An Nuan. She got in her car and headed back to her villa.
The villa was brightly lit. The moment she opened the door, the fragrance of food drifted out.
Ning Shu put on slippers and walked to the kitchen door. She found that Song Ning was wearing an apron as she stir-fried food. Even while cooking, she looked very beautiful.
The atmosphere felt very warm.
“You’re back.” Song Ning smiled as she asked Ning Shu, “You left before me, so how did you get back even later than me?”
Ning Shu leaned against the door and looked at Song Ning. Her slight smile was seriously charming. “Why are you still here? What did you come to my house for?”
“Gong Luo, are you blind? Can’t you see that I’m cooking?” Song Ning rolled her eyes at Ning Shu, then extended her hand. “Get me a plate.”
Ning Shu opened the cupboard and got a plate for Song Ning. Song Ning plated the food, then said, “Carry it to the table.”
Ning Shu nodded and carried it to the table.
In just a little while, four side dishes and a soup had been prepared. They were all common household dishes, but they all smelled, looked, and tasted amazing. Just this culinary skill was enough to make Ning Shu sigh in admiration, because she had no way of making such food.
Song Ning took off her apron and sat down opposite Ning Shu. “Try my cooking?”
Ning Shu tasted each dish, then praised sincerely, “They’re really delicious! You’re really good at cooking.”
Ning Shu’s praise didn’t make Song Ning happy at all and on the contrary, her facial color even darkened. She pressed her lips together without speaking.
“You actually know how to cook?” It was quite surprising that a rich miss like Song Ning actually knew how to cook.
Song Ning poked at her rice with her chopsticks as she pouted. “Could it be that you’ve never heard of the saying, to catch a man’s heart, you have to first grasp their stomach? I practiced cooking for a really long time, but I clearly haven’t managed to catch your stomach.”
Ning Shu: …
She felt like she just got flirted with again.
Fudge. She felt like she was about to turn lesbian with a beauty like Song Ning flirting with her every day.
But she couldn’t.
Heavens! Ning Shu felt that her integrity was swaying.
She didn’t respond to Song Ning’s complaint and just silently continued to eat.
Song Ning furrowed her brows. The frick? Was this guy still a man? Was An Nuan seriously the only one he would accept?
There was no way she’d believe that.
Song Ning propped up her chin and looked at Ning Shu as she said, “Get me a bit of that stir-fry lettuce in front of you.”
“Why don’t you get it yourself?” Ning Shu lifted her brows as she looked towards Song Ning.
“Because I can’t reach,” replied Song Ning in a matter-of-fact tone.
You can’t reach? When Ning Shu saw the flirtatious expression on Song Ning’s face, she pushed the plate towards her.
Song Ning: …
He was seriously a boring man. Why was he completely different towards An Nuan?
Song Ning’s facial color worsened even more. When she saw that the other party was only focusing on eating, her mood became even worse and she set her chopsticks down on the table. She propped up her chin and just watched Ning Shu.
Ning Shu expressed that she couldn’t really take being stared at like this by a woman.
“Song Ning, what exactly are you after?” asked Ning Shu directly.
Song Ning twirled her hair around her finger as she replied in a matter-of-fact tone, “I’m obviously trying to make you fall in love with me. We’re engaged after all. Since we’re going to have to get married, of course it’s better if we love each other. That way, our married life will also be more happy.”
“I’m a woman, so it’s natural for me to need a warm family. Compared to being like strangers after we get married, why not try to fall in love with each other now?” replied Song Ning easily.
Ning Shu suddenly didn’t know how to refute because what Song Ning said made a lot of sense.
