A financial crisis swept through, forcing Yan Mo to return home for a blind date. What? Over thirty and still unmarried? Is he a complete straight man? A fake marriage to fool grandpa? Is that some...
Half a pound of pork tenderloin and some greens—this was what Yan Mo prepared for himself tonight. After buying the vegetables, Yan Mo went to the grain store and bought the most basic seasonings, plus a 20-pound bag of rice.
Seeing that Yan Mo couldn't take it, the shop boy kindly helped her put it back to the car.
The young man put down the rice on his shoulder and grinned with a simple smile.
"Thank you!" After expressing his gratitude, Yan Mo drove away from the vegetable market, returned home, changed into home clothes, and put on an apron.
Start preparing dinner for yourself in the kitchen.
Soon, a dish of delicious sweet and sour pork tenderloin, plus a small bowl of salad, was placed on the table.
Yan Mo put on a satisfied smile on his face, and somehow he found the red wine sent by Si Ze's family from the wine cabinet, opened it,
By the time he reacted, half a cup had already been poured into the decanter, and Yan Mo was confused for a moment.
What to do with the wine in the decanter? Pouring it back into the bottle is impossible, as it would ruin a good bottle of wine. Yan Mo put the rest back into the cabinet, took out a highball glass, poured some red wine from the decanter, picked up the glass and took a small sip. It tasted sweet, with almost no smell of alcohol. It was delicious, and it would be a pity to throw it away.
Looking down at the wine in the decanter, Yan Mo felt that this amount of wine was more than his body could bear.
While sobering up, Yan Mo took out his phone, took a few photos of the dishes he had cooked, and posted them on his Moments.
The moment it was posted, Xun Jiage liked it and added a comment: "Sister-in-law, you are amazing! Boss Si is in for a treat."
Immediately afterwards, in less than a minute, it received more than a dozen likes and several comments. Not only Si Ze, but Xun Jiage also liked it. There was no reason why Si Ze didn't see it.
Looking back, Si Ze seemed to not know whether he could post photos on Moments, and he didn't know whether he would read them.
With doubts, Yan Mo put down his phone and started eating.
After a while, she finished half a glass of red wine in the decanter and looked at her circle of friends. There were nearly forty likes, but Si Ze was still not among them.
Putting the phone on the table, Yan Mo turned and left the restaurant.
When he came to the balcony, a gentle cold wind blew towards him, blowing away the blush on his face. Yan Mo woke up from his dazed state and was shocked.
Was she really drunk, or was it just her imagination? She was actually angry and upset because Si Ze didn't pay attention to her.
"Have I really fallen in love with Si Ze?" When this thought appeared in his mind, Yan Mo immediately denied it.
Yan Mo smiled and shook his head.
As expected, when you drink too much, you will have all kinds of thoughts. They have only known each other for a short time. Even if there is any affection, it is just gratitude.
She exhaled, rubbed her palms, ran back into the house, cleaned up the dining room, washed the dishes she had used in the kitchen, mopped the floor, went to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and filled the bathtub two-thirds with water.
When the water was running, Yan Mo returned to the room, found the rose essential oil he used for bathing all year round, dripped it into the water, and took a 20-minute bath.
Suddenly, all the fatigue in his body disappeared. He returned to the room, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep in less than a minute.
The next day was the last day of rest. Early in the morning, Yan Mo opened the clothes under the bed and found several large bags of clothes. They were all Si Ze's. They were the ones that Grandpa Si ordered his sixth cousin to move in.
Yan Mo spent the night in Jingyang the day before yesterday. He drank a little last night, so he didn't bother anymore. He would start work tomorrow. He had to get everything done today no matter what. Yan Mo opened it and took a look. It was full of suits, shirts and the like.
How would Si Ze feel if he knew that his good brothers had ruined his clothes like this?
After finding an ironing machine, Yan Mo took out Si Ze's clothes and ironed them one by one. He then cleared out half of the wardrobe and hung the clothes in it for a while.
There are three rooms in this house. The smallest one is used as a study. There is no bed or cabinet in the guest bedroom, so there is really no suitable place to store clothes.
These clothes were obviously very expensive, and she didn't want to take the responsibility if something happened to her family.
After packing her clothes, Yan Mo went out of the room to make some breakfast. After breakfast, she went to the guest bedroom and unpacked the pile of messy things one by one. She repacked the ones that could be put away and placed them neatly in the corner. For the ones that could not be put away, Yan Mo would unpack them and place them in the living room, kitchen, and bedroom.
For example, at this moment, Yan Mo came to the balcony holding a plate of green ivy that was only half a flowerpot and was about to wilt, and bent down to put it down.
She never thought that Si Ze would grow plants, otherwise, she would have found them that night, and the plants would not have been knocked over by something, with the roots exposed.
Yan Mo turned around and went back to the kitchen, trying to find a pot to grow the green ivy. He searched for a long time but couldn't find one.
"There's no other way. I can only use this first." Yan Mo muttered to himself, picked up a washbasin and returned to the balcony. He put the soil that nourished the roots of the green ivy into the basin, poured water on it, and trimmed the branches and leaves that had turned completely yellow.
After dealing with the green radish, Yan Mo washed his hands, took out his mobile phone, recorded a video of the green radish for Si Ze, and attached a message explaining the reason and sent it to Si Ze.
Xu Yanmo returned to the guest bedroom and continued to tidy up.
By dinner time, Si Ze had already sorted all his things into categories.
She returned to the living room. Yan Mo looked at the living room. With Si Ze's things in the living room, the house was no longer empty. It suddenly felt like home.
Cooking for one person is always the most troublesome. You can’t finish the food you cook. Yan Mo threw away most of the dishes from last night.
After a whole day, Yan Mo didn't want to move at all tonight, so he simply ordered takeout.
Dinner time is the peak time for takeout, and Yan Mo’s takeout was delivered an hour later.
After dinner, Yan Mo washed up early and went to bed.
…
In the blink of an eye, the day for the agreed work came.
Chengfu Trading starts work at 8:30 in the morning.
In order to leave a good impression, Yan Mo arrived at Chengfu Trading half an hour early.
At this time, only the front desk clerk has arrived in the entire company; no one else has arrived yet.
"Good morning, Miss Yan." The receptionist greeted Yan Mo.
"Good morning." Yan Mo smiled faintly.
Afterwards, the front desk clerk brought her to the reception room.
The reception room was made of fully transparent glass, and the folding curtains had been drawn today, so Yan Mo could clearly see the office outside.
Time passed little by little, and the office staff arrived one after another.
Fu Haonan also appeared at the door, holding a cup of coffee in his right hand and a briefcase in his left hand. Seeing Yan Mo waiting in the reception room, he nodded and greeted him.
Yan Mo smiled as a response to him.
"Miss Yan, you're here so early." Fu Haonan passed by the door of the reception room, pushed the door open with the hand holding the bag, and said to Yan Mo inside: "Come with me to the office!" Yan Mo followed Fu Haonan to his office.
"Sit down." Fu Haonan smiled and pointed to the sofa in front of the desk, then picked up the phone and dialed the sales department's internal line.
