Chapter 40 Cook Porridge for Me



Qin Huan didn't expect Jiang Jingchu to chase her out.

Looking at Jiang Jingchu's face so close to her, Qin Huan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly felt a little guilty.

"Who ran away?"

In fact, even she herself couldn't figure out what she was thinking at the time. She only knew that at that moment, she inexplicably wanted to escape.

Jiang Jingchu stared at Qin Huan's eyes closely. He had just seen them red as if she had been crying, but now he could not see any clue at all.

Qin Huan lowered her head and silently pulled her hand away from Jiang Jingchu's palm.

"Miss Ji asked me to take her in to see you. I thought it was just an ordinary business banquet, but later I found out it was your future father-in-law's birthday banquet."

Jiang Jingchu laughed when he heard this, and pressed his tongue against his back teeth.

"So, that's why you ran away?"

"I thought you felt uncomfortable seeing me and Ji Jingya together."

"How is that possible!"

Qin Huan hastily retorted, looking away in a panic.

"I ran into Mrs. Liu inside. Didn't we pretend to be a couple in Yangmingshan before? I guess she thought I was the mistress who came to the party to cause trouble today."

Jiang Jingchu felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Qin Huan teasing him about being a "mistress".

"There is never any mention of the word 'mistress' in my relationships."

Qin Huan's heart sank suddenly.

She had a hunch that Jiang Jingchu was making a subtle reference to what happened between her and Wen Li back then.

Qin Huan personally presented this misunderstanding to Jiang Jingchu, so whether he hates her or resents her now, she has to bear it.

After a few seconds of silence, when the pain in her heart gradually subsided, Qin Huan slowly loosened her clenched fists.

"Now that you're out, can we officially talk about YJ Company?"

Jiang Jingchu hated her most when she kept talking about YJ, and gave her a cold look.

The tall figure walked around her and went straight out.

“I can’t chat.”

Can’t chat?

"Why can't we chat?"

Now it was Qin Huan's turn to chase Jiang Jingchu.

"Jiang Jingchu, are you deliberately playing tricks on me? You said that as long as I come back, you will let YJ go. Now, I'm finally back, why do you..."

When Qin Huan said this, Jiang Jingchu had just stepped one leg into the back seat of Cullinan and turned around to look at the person who had bumped into his back.

"Yes, I did say that, but I didn't say I wouldn't talk to you."

Qin Huan frowned.

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Jingchu slowly put his other leg into the car, his slightly raised eyes lightly falling on Qin Huan.

"I'm hungry. Because you suddenly ran away, I didn't even get to eat a bite of cake. So, I don't have the energy to chat."

Qin Huan knew that Jiang Jingchu was deliberately playing tricks to delay her, but she had no other choice. She pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and nodded.

"Okay, it just so happens that I still owe you three meals, Mr. Jiang. Come on, I'll treat you to a meal and we can talk while we eat."

After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Jingchu to invite her to get in the car, she sat straight in and rudely pushed Jiang Jingchu to the side.

Jiang Jingchu was almost pushed down. He sneered, pulled out the hem of his suit that was pressed by Qin Huan's butt, and brushed it off slightly.

"Are you expressing your dissatisfaction with me?"

Qin Huan didn't even look at him,

"I dare not."

Jiang Jingchu thought, even if I don’t dare, you dare now.

He raised his hand and made a driving gesture to the driver.

The driver held the steering wheel with his hands and tilted his head slightly.

"Boss Jiang, where are we going now?"

Jiang Jingchu looked at Qin Huan.

"Tell me, what do you want to treat me to?"

Qin Huan asked herself if she was as experienced in eating as the man next to her.

Besides, since you are inviting people to dinner, it is natural to follow the guests' opinions.

Qin Huan kicked the ball back.

"Mr. Jiang, is there anything you want to eat?"

Jiang Jingchu raised his eyebrows slightly.

"You can eat anything you want?"

Qin Huan recalled all the property she had on her.

"Let me make it clear first, I can't afford anything too expensive."

Qin Huan originally thought that Jiang Jingchu was so picky that ordinary restaurants would not catch his eye.

As a result, Jiang Jingchu was heard to slowly utter a few words to the driver.

“Then let’s go to Jinghe Bay.

Qin Huan was suddenly startled when she heard the three words Jinghe Bay.

"What are you going there for?"

It’s no wonder she made a fuss, because Jinghewan was where she lived when she was with Jiang Jingchu.

Jiang Jingchu also felt Qin Huan's obviously excessive reaction.

He looked at Qin Huan silently with a playful look in his eyes.

"What do you think I was going there to do?"

Jiang Jingchu emphasized the word "do". Qin Huan naturally recalled some of the beautiful scenes that happened between her and Jiang Jingchu in the villa in Jinghewan.

Her face flushed red and she glared at Jiang Jingchu silently.

Jiang Jingchu chuckled, his eyes curved inwards and outwards with a hint of romance.

"Didn't you say you can eat whatever you want? My stomach hasn't been feeling well these past few days, so I just want to eat some plain porridge."

It turns out that he wanted to eat porridge.

Qin Huan was speechless for a moment.

"You can go to a special porridge restaurant to eat porridge, why do you have to go there?"

Jiang Jingchu made a "tsk" sound.

"Don't you really want to resolve the YJ issue? Now's the time to test your sincerity."

Qin Huan's almond-shaped eyes widened, and she tilted her head to look at Jiang Jingchu in disbelief.

"You mean, you want me to do it?"

The river scene was calm at first.

"What else? Do I look like someone who can cook to you?"

Qin Huan twitched the corners of her mouth and rolled her eyes silently, thinking that her cooking skills could not be that good.

Jiang Jingchu caught a glimpse of her almost imperceptible little movement from the corner of his eye and tapped his leg lightly with his fingertips.

"If it's inconvenient, forget it. I'll go back and take some time to recover. When I feel better, I'll ask you to come over to discuss YJ's matter."

Qin Huan immediately admitted defeat.

"It's not inconvenient. I was just wondering if there are any ingredients there. If not, it would be best to send someone to prepare them in advance so I can cook right away when I get there."

Jiang Jingchu sneered when he heard this.

She really cares about Wen Li and is willing to lower herself to such a low level for him.

Jiang Jingchu leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and dozed off quietly, feeling mixed emotions.

The black Cullinan is like a phantom, speeding through the silent darkness.

Soon, he brought Jiang Jingchu and Qin Huan to Jinghe Bay.

This is the most upscale villa area in North City.

Qin Huan still remembered the first time Jiang Jingchu brought her here. She was almost shocked by the inhumanely huge villa.

At the same time, it was also the first time that he felt so intuitively the huge gap between Jiang Jingchu and himself, which was like the galaxy.

At that time, she never thought that one day she would live in this villa and live in it with Jiang Jingchu as the hostess for more than a thousand days and nights.

After Qin Huan got out of the car, she stood at the door and didn't move.

A feeling of homesickness was slowly spreading through her limbs.

Jiang Jingchu walked into the porch first, pressed his fingerprint, and the door opened with a click.

He didn't go in, but just turned around and looked at Qin Huan quietly.

One of them stood on the stairs, and the other stood at the bottom.

They looked at each other in a silent confrontation.

Qin Huan waited for a few seconds, and finally gave in and walked over.

When Jiang Jingchu saw her coming, he turned his back and his fists hanging at his sides loosened slightly.

He opened the shoe cabinet and found a pair of brand new women's slippers and placed them at Qin Huan's feet.

"Please hurry up, I'm so hungry."

Qin Huan changed into slippers, put her bag on the entrance cabinet, and walked straight to the kitchen.

She glanced casually at the living room as she passed by.

The arrangement of the various sofas and furniture was exactly the same as it was five years ago, but it lacked many traces of their previous lives, making it seem inexplicably empty.

Qin Huan opened the refrigerator door and was surprised to find it was full.

I picked up a box of fresh shrimp and saw that the purchase time shown on it was two days ago.

She thought there was an aunt who would come regularly to provide supplies, so she didn't think much about it. She found a few ingredients she needed to make porridge, tied on her apron, and got busy.

Here, Jiang Jingchu went straight to the bathroom in the master bedroom on the second floor to take a shower after he came in.

When I walked down the stairs, I smelled the aroma of porridge in the air and heard the figure looming in the kitchen. I had the illusion of suddenly going back to five years ago.

He couldn't help but slow down his steps, fearing that the noise would be too loud and disrupt the rare tranquility before him.

Jiang Jingchu just watched Qin Huan quietly in the living room for a long time. He resisted the urge to get closer to her, took out a cigarette from his mouth, and walked to the balcony to light it.

The flickering light of the fire reveals the smoker's mood at the moment.

Irritable and unbearable.

After burning out a cigarette, he casually flicked it into a nearby trash can, exhaled the last puff of smoke, turned around and walked into the living room.
