Chapter 136 Washed, Dirty

"Looking for what?"

Kolov's voice came from outside the door.

Ji Wanwan didn't turn around; she was still searching elsewhere.

"Birth control pills!!! I've already told you I don't want to get pregnant, and you still don't put them on!"

Anyway, she felt he was useless yesterday.

"I left them outside."

"..."

Ji Wanwan turned around and exclaimed "Ah!"

Kolov walked towards her: "You said you don't want to get pregnant, so I won't let you get pregnant."

Although she was unhappy about leaving them outside, taking birth control pills was too harmful to her.

He won't take these measures if Ji Wanwan changes her mind someday.

Ji Wanwan scratched her head awkwardly. She was almost fainting and had no idea what he was doing.

"Oh, you're quite astute."

Kolov leaned closer to her: "Is there a reward?"

Ji Wanwan was speechless and tapped him on the forehead: "Reward my ass, three days isn't enough?"

"not enough."

"Then let's reduce it to one hour!"

"Do you take me for a cripple?"

“I didn’t say that.”

After saying that, Ji Wanwan was about to leave, but her back was hurting terribly... so she put on the mask of pain.

Kolov picked her up, placed her on the bed, and rubbed her back.

Don't be reckless.

Ji Wanwan's lips twitched. Now she was being told not to be stubborn, but she didn't know who had acted impulsively back then.

"Where's the tie I bought?"

Ji Wanwan remembered that it was in her hands, but she didn't know what happened after that.

"It's been washed."

"You washed it?!"

Kolov hummed in agreement.

Why do you need to wash?

Kolov looked at her and remained silent for a moment: "It's not clean anymore."

Ji Wanwan didn't plan to investigate further, but sensing that they would be heading onto the highway soon, she braked in time.

Kolov smirked and teased her, "Aren't you going to ask how it got dirty?"

"I don't want to know!"

Asking that kind of question is never a good thing.

"What would you like to eat?"

"Eat... smashed cucumber, hot and sour shredded potatoes, Mapo tofu, eggplant with minced meat, Kung Pao chicken, shredded pork with garlic sauce, steamed sea bass, stir-fried beef with yellow peppers, shrimp, and seaweed and egg drop soup."

Ji Wanwan recited all the dishes in her mind in one breath.

"Well, that's all, not much, right?"

Since he's free anyway, let him practice his cooking skills more.

"..."

Seeing that he didn't respond, Ji Wanwan said, "What's wrong? I'm going to eat this much!"

After taking up so much of her time, can't we at least treat her to a decent meal?

"Then you wait for me obediently."

Ji Wanwan ruffled his hair and smiled, "Okay."

Kolov bent down and kissed her forehead before leaving.

Ji Wanwan played a few rounds of King of Glory with Yu Chuman. When they turned on their microphones, Yu Chuman's urging came through again.

"Ji Wanwan, you left without even saying a word to me!"

"I already told you..."

She went to Russia in a hurry, without bringing anything except herself.

"I only told you that because I asked you!"

And it took several days before he replied to her.

When Yu Chuman went to the hospital to find Ji Wanwan, she found the ward empty.

She was so scared that she went to the police station to report her missing.

It turned out that she left on her own.

Ji Wanwan could tell she was angry, so she comforted her, "Don't be angry, I promise it won't happen again. By the way, how are things going with Lin Zhuang?"

She tried to change the subject, and was also a little worried that more than a year had passed and Lin Zhuang's condition might have worsened.

There was a long silence on the other end. Ji Wanwan thought something had happened to her, so she called her name: "Chu Man?"

At this moment, Yu Chuman spoke, her voice becoming softer, tinged with grievance.

"He's been avoiding me; I haven't seen him for a month."

Yu Chuman went to his house to wait for him several times, but she never saw him.

When she went back, the neighbor said he had moved...

It was obvious they were avoiding her, but she couldn't figure out why.

"Wanwan, why do you think he's avoiding me? I can tell he likes me."

She wasn't narcissistic, but she could sense it.

This time, Ji Wanwan fell silent...

How should she answer her?

"Chu Man, do you really love him?"

"Of course, I've been pursuing him for so long."

Even without a response, she never considered giving up.

Ji Wanwan sighed, deciding not to hide it from her any longer: "Lin Zhuang is sick. A year ago, the doctor said he only had three years left to live."

Ji Wanwan felt a tightness in her chest. She had the right to know the truth, and what she did next was entirely up to her.

Suddenly, a dull thud came from the receiver—the sound of something falling to the ground—followed by the clang of the phone hitting the floor. Footsteps were disordered.

Yu Chuman trembled all over, hurriedly picked up her phone, and tears streamed down her face.

Recalling their meeting in the elevator, Lin Zhuang's face was already frighteningly pale.

She did not doubt Ji Wanwan's words.

Yu Chuman's voice choked with sobs: "Wanwan, I... I need to go find him."

Before Ji Wanwan could speak, the game had already exited.

Ji Wanwan felt depressed; she didn't know if her decision was right.

She hoped they were both alright...

After calming down, Ji Wanwan felt the pain in her lower back had lessened considerably, so she went downstairs to find Kolov.

At this moment, the mansion was filled with a wonderful fragrance.

Ji Wanwan thought she had returned to China.

"It smells so good," Ji Wanwan exclaimed.

Is there anything this man can't do?

Which window did God close for him?

Ji Wanwan went inside. By then, Kolov was finishing up. She casually picked up a piece of meat with her fingertips and put it in her mouth.

tasty!

"Why don't you switch careers and become a chef?" she joked.

"Do you think just anyone can eat my cooking?" Kolov said as he busied himself, knowing she had arrived.

He is Ji Wanwan's exclusive.

Only she has this blessing.

"Oh, I just called Katya."

"..."

Knowing that the two of them definitely couldn't finish the food, she called Katya over in advance.

If Yu Chuman were here, she would call her too.

"Ji Wanwan, don't make me seem cheap!"

He only cooks for Ji Wanwan; he doesn't care about anyone else.

Ji Wanwan wiped her hands that were picking at vegetables. Seeing that he was a little angry, she hugged him from behind and tried to coax him.

You are priceless in my heart.

It is truly priceless; there's so much money in it that you can't even count it all.

Kolov's hand paused, his breathing becoming heavy: "Isn't three days enough? You're trying to seduce me?"

"Oh dear, I just thought it would be more lively with more people, and I can't finish it all by myself."

Kolov was easy to coax; she was appeased in no time.

Just this once!

"Okay."

Ji Wanwan was about to take the dishes away when Kolov snatched them away.

"I'll do it. Did you do these chores?"

Ji Wanwan's lips twitched, and she let out an "oh," secretly pleased with herself.

She loves this kind of life; it's what she wants.

Katya led Dmitry in from outside.

What smells so good?

Ji Wanwan immediately went up to her and said with a smile, "Right? I think so too."

"Made by a repressed, brooding guy?"

I didn't think Kolov was the type of person who could cook, and I never imagined he would cook.

But the next second, he brought the food out of the kitchen.

He perfectly embodies the image of a family-oriented and good man.

Katya thought he was hallucinating. He pointed at Kolov and asked, "Is this right?"

That cold-blooded, crazy, and somewhat repressed freak, Kolov, actually cooked for himself.

"Isn't that amazing?" Ji Wanwan praised him.

Katya nodded blankly: "How did you do that?"

"Of course, we need to train them more."

Ji Wanwan was talking nonsense. Kolov was able to go to such lengths for her entirely because he loved her.

"It has to be you again." Katya gave her a thumbs up.

The three quickly took their seats, and Kolov sat down next to Ji Wanwan after finishing his work.

Katya joked, "I never dreamed I'd get to eat your cooking."

"If you're not going to eat, then get out." Kolov said irritably, as he had only intended to cook for Ji Wanwan.

Ji Wanwan glared at him and kicked his leg.

"How can you talk like that?"

Upon hearing this, Kolov immediately shut up.

Katya didn't mind and gestured for Dmitry to sit down: "Why not eat it all? Let's eat together!"

“Yes, let’s eat together,” Ji Wanwan agreed, as she enjoyed lively gatherings.

Ji Wanwan piled so much food onto Kolov's plate that the rice was almost gone.

"You must be tired, eat more."

"You're the one who's tired."

Kolov put his arm around her waist and gently massaged it.

"You're the one who does the cooking, and you're the one who works the hardest!"

"I don't even use up as much energy in bed."

...

Ji Wanwan popped a shrimp into his mouth: "Eat!"

He'd better not say anything; if he does, he'll be on the highway.

Katya ignored the mushy things the two were saying and started showing off.

Dmitri peeled shrimp for her and removed fish bones; the attentive service was impeccable.

Ji Wanwan thought of Yu Chuman, wondering how she was doing now.

Have you found Lin Zhuang yet...?

She asked Kolov, "Is Lin's illness really incurable?"

Kolov didn't understand why she would hit Tilin, but still replied, "His status isn't low either; if he could be cured, it wouldn't have dragged on until now."

Ji Wanwan's disappointment was palpable: "And what about you?"

Kolov shook his head.

He had already consulted all the top experts, so there was no point in inviting Kolov again.

"All right."

It really all comes down to fate...
