Chapter 23 Every Day

23

It turned out that he was her friend now.

His narrow eyes were filled with warm wine, but he locked onto her as if he had caught a prey that was about to fall into a trap.

After a moment, a more affectionate "Jiujiu" reached Wenjiu's ears.

She was stunned.

Then she tried hard to suppress the urge to raise the corners of her lips.

You dead mouth, don't embarrass yourself!!!

Exhaling lightly, Wenjiu patted her hot cheeks.

This kind of invisible seductive skill is really easy to break people's defense.

Jiang Yanci is not at all like Mu Ling said, he has never had contact with girls.

His various behaviors are clearly like a scumbag who has been in the battlefield for a long time.

Wenjiu was cricketing in his heart, and after diverting his attention, the embarrassment that had just risen was almost subsided.

When he walked to the restaurant, there were already four or five dishes on the table.

Jiang Yanci pulled a chair for Wenjiu and said, "Auntie Li is a native of Gangcheng. These dishes are her specialties. Try them and see if you like them."

Jiang Yanci also sat down. Seeing that Wenjiu was still waiting for him, he said, "Start eating."

Jiang Yanci picked up the chopsticks first, followed by Wenjiu.

During the meal, neither of them spoke much, but Wenjiu's relaxed expression showed that she was very satisfied with the meal.

Wenjiu couldn't help but be satisfied. The crystal clear shrimp dumplings burst with juice, and the shrimps were so sweet and crispy that she almost wanted to bite off her tongue.

The sweet and sour sweet pork was tender and soft after biting into the crispy skin. It was so appetizing.

Seeing that the guests brought by Jiang Yanci today had eaten most of the dishes, Auntie Li praised Wenjiu when she came to collect the tableware.

"You have a good appetite, kid."

The other party spoke in the dialect of Gangcheng, but Wenjiu barely understood it.

She curved her eyebrows, her skin was clear and white without makeup, and her cheeks were flushed with a healthy red because she was full.

When she smiled obediently, it was so sweet that it touched people's hearts.

"Thank you, Aunt Li, it's delicious. It's as delicious as my mother's cooking."

Ever since she found out that her baby daughter was a foodie, Mu Wan learned to cook by herself, just to see Wen Jiu's cute look of squinting her eyes and shaking when she ate something delicious during the rare reunion time.

"Oh~" Aunt Li's heart softened incredibly when she heard Wen Jiu's words. It was the highest praise for her to say that the food was like her mother's cooking.

She couldn't help pinching Wen Jiu's face. Seeing that she was shy but not unhappy, she liked this good-looking and good-natured girl in front of her even more.

"Next time you come, tell A Yan in advance what dishes you like to eat, and let A Yan tell me and I'll cook it for you."

Wen Jiu nodded obediently: "Okay~ Thank you, Aunt."

"Well, good boy." After getting Wen Jiu's answer, Aunt Li smiled and left with satisfaction.

"Have you decided when the next time is?"

"Hmm?" Wen Jiu looked up in astonishment, and met Jiang Yanci's half-smile.

She propped her head up: "Why?"

"I'm afraid Aunt Li will be disappointed in you." Jiang Yanci's expression was indifferent, and it was hard to tell whether he was really afraid of disappointing Aunt Li or had other intentions.

Wen Jiu was silent for a moment, and her mind moved, and suddenly said:

"Whether Aunt Li will be disappointed does not depend on me, but on you."

"If President Jiang invites me, I will come." She smiled flamboyantly and charmingly, seducing people without knowing it.

Jiang Yanci's eyes dimmed, "Every day?"

Wen Jiu raised his eyebrows, then shook his head: "Decline."

Every day? Wishful thinking!

Jiang Yanci is really good at climbing up the ladder, but Wen Jiu will not give him this opportunity.

Ignoring someone's disappointed expression, Wen Jiu wiped his mouth elegantly: "I'm full, I'll go back first. Goodbye, President Jiang..."

"Okay, goodbye." Although Jiang Yanci knew that he was fooled, he didn't think about arguing with Wen Jiu.

At the same time, he said "goodbye" but consciously followed Wenjiu's pace: "I'll take you back."

"Are you not busy?" Wenjiu glanced at him: "If there is a driver, just ask the driver to take me back."

"Busy." Jiang Yanci stood in front of Wenjiu, slightly bent over: "But I am happy to take you back. It would be embarrassing if I didn't behave well and was rejected."

"Hehe..." Wenjiu pulled the corner of his mouth and raised his hand to pat Jiang Yanci's shoulder, "Then you do your best."

Do your best... How to do your best?

How should he do his best to make Wenjiu willing to come to dinner every day, or even be more greedy and stay with him every moment of every day.

Jiang Yanci was thinking about this problem all the way Wenjiu went back. When he returned to the Jiang family's old house, he saw Aunt Li, who was supposed to rest, still sitting on the sofa.

"Aunt Li." Jiang Yanci walked over: "Why don't you rest yet?"

"Waiting for you." Aunt Li stood up and looked at Jiang Yanci lovingly: "Is the girl you saw today your sweetheart?"

Wenjiu's appearance appeared in his mind, and Jiang Yanci's usual cold expression softened, and he nodded.

"It's the girl I like."

"What about her? Does she like you?" Aunt Li asked anxiously. Without waiting for Jiang Yanci to answer, she continued:

"With your personality, no girl has liked you since you were a child. Occasionally, there are two brave ones who want to get close to you, but they are scared away by you."

"A Yan, since you like her, you should treat her well. When you come to propose marriage next time, remember to bring the things your mother left for her daughter-in-law..."

Seeing that Aunt Li was getting more and more outrageous, Jiang Yanci quickly interrupted her.

"Aunt Li, I don't know if she will like me yet. It's too early for you to say that now."

"..."

Aunt Li's fantasy was shattered in an instant. She glared at Jiang Yanci with disdain: "You are so useless."

Jiang Yanci: "..."

Deeply powerless, Jiang Yanci sighed: "She came to Gangcheng just for tourism. She may leave soon."

"So what? You try hard to pursue her. After you pursue her, you can let her settle down in Gangcheng. Anyway, you are in Gangcheng. You will never let her suffer any grievances."

"That's not what I said." Jiang Yanci rubbed his eyebrows. Qi Qin had said something similar before.

It seemed that everyone tacitly agreed that as long as they were together, Wenjiu should sacrifice her original life and stay in Gangcheng.

But this was not fair to Wenjiu. She was not his appendage, but a free person who could go anywhere she wanted.

"Aunt Li, Wenjiu is free. It's up to her to decide where she wants to stay."

"What if she doesn't want to stay in Hong Kong in the future?" Aunt Li frowned, somewhat surprised that Jiang Yanci, who had always been overbearing and unreasonable, seemed to have changed his personality when it came to Wenjiu.

Jiang Yanci barely hesitated, "Then I'll go to see her wherever she is."

He stood at the top of power, not to restrict the freedom of the one he loved.

"Silly." Aunt Li raised her hand and tapped his head gently, "Then you work hard to make that girl like you as soon as possible. Otherwise... when you go to meet her, she may not necessarily want to see you."

"Okay, I will." Jiang Yanci agreed. If he hadn't known that Wenjiu had just ended a relationship, he would definitely not use this method of boiling a frog in warm water to let Wenjiu slowly accept his feelings.

Jiang Yanci felt that he had encountered the most difficult thing in his life.

But fortunately, Wenjiu's current performance should not show that she hates him.
