Chapter 415 Renovation
Lu Jingxiao's face darkened: "Is this the vegetables you prepared?"
"What else? I washed them all clean, I didn't slack off!" Li Huaijin retorted stubbornly, like a child caught slacking off.
He peeled off each piece and washed it, so how could it not be clean?
Lu Jingxiao looked at Li Huaijin with a "you'll figure it out yourself" expression, and then, under the gaze of three pairs of eyes... took out a vegetable leaf, on which a cabbage worm was lying.
Li Huaijin: "......."
...
Why are there bugs?!
He bought organic vegetables!
Why is there such a big insect?!
Was he blind? How could he not have seen that?
I really want to gouge my eyes out.
"Would you believe me if I said I didn't do it on purpose?"
Lu Jingxiao: "..."
I don't really believe it.
Speechless.
"Then wash it again." Lu Jingxiao's voice was indifferent; this was something Li Huaijin had to do himself.
Although Li Huaijin washed them again carefully, he still couldn't understand why the organic vegetables he bought could have insects.
Isn't this just setting him up for failure?!
Gu Youran looked on with some concern, so she went straight over and washed the vegetables with Li Huaijin.
If such a huge bug were cooked in a hot pot, they would probably all be disgusted to death.
As soon as her hand reached into the pool, Li Huaijin nudged her with his side: "No, no, put it down and let me do it. How can I let you do the work?"
Go away, go away.
The kitchen is a man's battlefield; how can a woman be allowed to do it?!
"Xiao Youran, go chat with your best friend. I'll handle this."
"I'm just here to help you. This is my home, I can help too," Gu Youran said matter-of-factly.
In situations like this, shouldn't we stop underestimating people?
I am also very capable!
Li Huaijin didn't want Gu Youran to do any work, but the most important thing was to save face for her as a man: "Youran, you have to let me show my value, let me do it myself!"
Gu Youran: "......"
She didn't know what this man was showing off, but it seemed... he was quite enjoying it.
"What value does this demonstrate about you?"
I couldn't resist asking.
Li Huaijin was taken aback, then pretended to be very busy and capable: "You don't have to worry about that. Just wait and see. There will definitely be no problem this time."
"Third brother, you can start cooking now. Let's eat the meat first. The vegetables will be washed soon."
He absolutely cannot let the third brother look down on him, absolutely not!
He can do what the third brother can do.
Li Huaijin seemed to have found a direction all of a sudden. As long as he followed Lu Jingxiao's instructions, he would likely reap the rewards and know what to do next.
Yes, if we use Lu Jingxiao as a template, Ranran might soon be willing to marry him too.
After washing it this time, Lu Jingxiao unexpectedly raised an eyebrow and said, "Not bad, you've improved."
Li Huaijin smiled brightly upon receiving the praise, especially after Gu Youran secretly gave him a thumbs up, which made him even happier.
"That's good, then I can say I've made progress."
The four of them finally managed to get together, and they ate and laughed happily. The two men even drank a little wine. But... Luo Zhiwei saw this and stared at Lu Jingxiao's wine glass with starry eyes.
The two men's so-called "little wine" was Romanée-Conti.
Lu Jingxiao subtly moved his wine glass slightly, gently refusing, "No, baby, you can't drink."
"I want to try..." Luo Zhiwei blinked her eyes, full of anticipation, her long eyelashes fluttering, with a touch of coquettishness: "Just one bite, okay?"
I've never drunk alcohol before.
I don't even know what the wine tastes like.
However, it wasn't that she hadn't drunk it before; it was just that her memory was fragmented, and she couldn't remember it at all.
“Ah Xiao…”
Lu Jingxiao: "......."
There was simply no way to defend against it.
"Only one bite."
"Okay!"
Luo Zhiwei, like a little girl who had just gotten candy, watched with expectant eyes as Lu Jingxiao slowly pushed the wine glass towards her: "One sip, no more."
Although I know she has a good alcohol tolerance, she still can't drink too much.
To everyone's surprise, Luo Zhiwei excitedly picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Lu Jingxiao's glass contained almost a glass of red wine, and she downed it all!
Startled, Lu Jingxiao jumped up and tried to pry Luo Zhiwei's mouth open, only to see her looking at him with a silly grin: "Ah Xiao, it tastes good."
Lu Jingxiao: "..."
He didn't know what to say anymore, so he just lied to him.
Drinking a glass of red wine too quickly and too much would probably make you dizzy.
"It's delicious, I want more!"
Gu Youran: "???"
No, sister, this isn't right.
When you drink with me, it's one glass after another!
What does this mean now?
Why does it feel like it could knock me out with just one cup?
You're not like that!
Gu Youran was completely dumbfounded.
Luo Zhiwei chuckled foolishly, her face flushed, making it seem like she had drunk too much: "Ah Xiao, let me have a little more, this red wine is really delicious."
Lu Jingxiao: "...Baby, you've had too much to drink."
Who said that!
I didn't!
Luo Zhiwei slammed her hand on the table and stood up, then leaned into Lu Jingxiao's arms: "I'm not drunk at all, Xiao. This is my first time drinking Romanée-Conti, it's so delicious."
Lu Jingxiao: "..."
Li Huaijin teased from the side, "Tsk, sister-in-law, this isn't good enough. How come you got drunk after just one cup? There's no romance left in the future."
It's good for girls to have a little bit of alcohol.
Couples living a simple life together, having dates at home, drinking a little wine, watching a movie – what a wonderful life!
If someone gets knocked out after just one cup, how can the rest of the content be presented?
"I'm not drunk! You're talking nonsense!"
Lu Jingxiao was almost certain that she was drunk.
Without even thinking, he picked the person up and carried them in his arms, saying, "We're leaving now. You... figure out what to do with it yourselves."
**
After the two of them left, Li Huaijin sat down next to Gu Youran, his eyes filled with a hint of guilt: "Little Youran, I'm sorry, I took your kitchen..."
"It's okay, it's our fault, it's not just yours."
Adhering to the principle of not wasting food, the two wanted to cook at home, but unexpectedly ruined the kitchen. This is a true case of losing more than you gain, and it's terrifying to even think about.
Gu Youran was actually quite happy, after all, this was the first person besides Weiwei and her brother who was willing to cook for her.
How could she not be overjoyed?
"I'll arrange for someone to come and renovate tomorrow." Li Huaijin was getting a little too demanding, and he even started offering suggestions: "You Ran, how about we renovate this place and make the bedroom a little bigger?"
Gu Youran was a little confused: "Why expand it? Isn't the bedroom already quite big...? Why...?"
As if realizing something, she realized that this scoundrel was thinking about such nonsense.
That's outrageous!
"rogue!"
Li Huaijin may have been scolded, but he was secretly delighted. How could his leisurely demeanor be so adorable?
"I just wanted to expand my bedroom, how is that being a pervert?" He curled a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth: "Little You Ran, what naughty things are you thinking about?"
Gu Youran: "......."
Yeah?
Why can't I believe it?
"This is my favorite place, but now that it's under renovation, where am I supposed to live?"
This location is neither too far nor too close to the company, and the decor is nice; it's her favorite spot.
"Stay at my place."
Gu Youran: "......."
