Lei Tingjun smiled at her and said, "Okay."

He picked up a sausage, put it in his mouth, and tasted it for a while: "Your dad's sausage tastes pretty good. He likes it a bit stronger in flavor, doesn't he?"

"You're quite observant; you can even tell the difference." Ji Wanmei also picked up a slice, took a bite with her fried rice, and said, "In my family, I like Cantonese sausage, while my dad likes Sichuan sausage. So every Chinese New Year, my dad would specially make both flavors to suit my taste."

"Don't let his position as a factory manager fool you; he's always busy with the factory staff. He also really enjoys cooking. I sometimes joke with my dad that when he retires, he should open a restaurant; I'm sure it will be a great business."

Ji Wanmei was also intentionally or unintentionally telling Lei Tingjun more about her father, trying to get closer to him.

Perhaps, in Lei Tingjun's eyes, her father was a stern and unsmiling factory director and leader.

But he had never seen her father in private; he was just a middle-aged man who loved his daughter and loved cooking.

When Lei Tingjun saw the unusual tenderness in Ji Wanmei's eyes when she talked about her father, he knew that she cared about him very much.

He said, "I know your dad loves you very much. I also know that your mother passed away early, and you were raised by your dad. Every day after get off work, your dad goes to the market to buy groceries and cooks for you when he gets home."

Ji Wanmei asked in surprise, "How did you know all that?"

Lei Tingjun chuckled silently.

What an innocent girl! Did she really think that all those years he secretly loved her were just a few glances at her from afar?

Back when he was still at the Oriental Factory, Lei Tingjun never missed any news about the 'Oriental Pearl' during those years.

For example, the university acceptance letter she received that day, when she would be on holiday to go home, and what time she would come to the factory to deliver meals to her father.

Lei Tingjun was paying close attention to every single thing about her.

Otherwise, why would he always appear at the factory gate precisely when she comes to the factory?

All he wanted was to catch a glimpse of her from afar every time she appeared.

He just buried his secret crush deep inside, and no one knew about it.
