Chapter 283 A Bet's a Bet
Then, Qu Jingyou began to question the meaning of life.
Many people who enjoy baking know that it's actually much simpler than cooking Chinese food. As long as you strictly follow the ingredient list, the results will generally be quite good.
Of course, this is all predicated on using high-quality ingredients.
For example, there are many varieties of whipping cream, but the one Lu Zuofan uses is undoubtedly the best.
The egg tarts were fresh out of the oven and still hot, so Qu Jing tried the durian mille-feuille first.
She loves desserts and considers herself to have eaten quite a few delicious Western-style pastries.
But to her surprise, what Lu Zuofan made still amazed her tongue.
Finally, Qu Jingyou sat in the living room, not wanting to say a word.
She was recalling why she and Lu Zuofan had made that bet.
She thought she had it in the bag, but now she's lost.
Is Lu Zuofan a chef?
He's not actually the CEO, is he?
When Lu Zuofan finished his work and came over, Qu Jingyou had already eaten quite a bit.
Although she was questioning the meaning of life, it didn't stop her from eating.
Lu Zuofan asked, "How is it? Are you satisfied?"
Qu Jingyou looked at the table full of desserts and the leftovers she had eaten. She wanted to say she was dissatisfied, but she couldn't bring herself to lie.
She could only say, "It is quite delicious."
"Then we..."
Qu Jingyou said, "There's nothing more to say, I accept my defeat."
Lu Zuofan smiled at her and handed her a drink.
Qu Jingyou took it and subconsciously said thank you. After taking a sip, her eyes lit up: "Delicious."
“If you like it, let me know if you want to eat it in the future,” Lu Zuofan said. “How about we go for a walk? Otherwise you won’t be able to eat lunch.”
It's already past ten o'clock. Qu Jingyou has eaten quite a lot. If she doesn't digest it, she really won't need to eat lunch.
Seeing that Lu Zuofan didn't mention the bet between the two of them again, Qu Jingyou felt more at ease.
Regardless of the circumstances, she lost, and she was still a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, Lu Zuofan was perceptive and didn't say anything more.
Lu Zuofan asked her, "Do you want to go practice driving again?"
The two of them originally came out today to practice driving.
Qu Jingyou felt a little sleepy after eating and drinking her fill, and she got up early again today.
She said, "I need to practice."
As a result, on the way to driving practice with Lu Zuofan, she fell asleep in the passenger seat.
Young girls with faces full of collagen don't need particularly delicate features to be incredibly beautiful.
Moreover, Qu Jingyou also has exceptionally high looks inherited from her family.
Lu Zuofan carefully parked the car and turned to look at her sleeping face.
Honestly, he never knew what it felt like to be moved, nor did he understand how crazy it could be to love someone.
He thought people like Pei Muyi were foolish.
How could he suffer so much and be so heartbroken for a woman?
But now, he feels it all.
He was so upset that he couldn't bear it when Qu Jingyou simply rejected him.
Not to mention, Pei Muye went through so much back then.
Qu Jingyou woke up suddenly, and for a moment thought she was at home. She raised her hand to rub her eyes, and when she opened them, she saw a sky full of stars.
She was taken aback, a look of confusion appearing on her face.
"Jingjing?"
She suddenly looked to the side, instinctively clutching her clothes at her chest: "What are you doing here!?"
"Are you half asleep?" Lu Zuofan said with a smile, "This is in my car. We agreed to practice driving here, but you fell asleep."
Qu Jingyou then came to her senses.
She got up and found that the passenger seat was folded down, revealing the car's starry sky roof.
It's said that this car is a girl's favorite, but I wonder which girl Lu Zuofan bought it for.
Qu Jingyou had just woken up and was in a bad mood for no reason.
"Are you thirsty?" Lu Zuofan asked her. "I've prepared something to drink, but it's not hot, it's room temperature."
"I don't want to drink." Qu Jingyou smoothed her hair. "I want to go home."
"You haven't practiced driving yet..."
"I don't want to practice anymore."
"But……"
Qu Jingyou frowned at him: "You're so long-winded! I said I want to go home!"
"good."
Lu Zuofan glanced at her again: "Do you need me to put the seat back on?"
"unnecessary!"
Qu Jingyou was fuming.
Lu Zuofan had never met a girl like this before.
After all, those who are with him are all the kind who dote on him.
Occasionally, there would be one or two people who, seeing his smiling face and his kindness towards them, would develop a sense of entitlement and arrogance.
Then Lu Zuofan broke up with her immediately.
No girl could get angry in front of him, let alone act arrogantly.
But Qu Jingyou is the exception.
Seeing that Qu Jingyou was unhappy, Lu Zuofan was not annoyed at all. Instead, he reflected on himself and wondered if he had done something wrong that made her angry.
"Hurry up and drive!" Qu Jingyou frowned. "If you're busy, I'll get out and call a taxi!"
Lu Zuofan quickly started the car, not daring to ask anything along the way.
He walked her all the way to her doorstep before asking, "You were fine before, why are you suddenly angry?"
"None of your business."
After Qu Jingyou finished speaking, she pushed open the car door and got out of the car.
Lu Zuofan hurriedly said, "We agreed before that we would meet every day..."
"I won't go back on my word." Qu Jingyou had already gotten out of the car: "You don't need to worry."
Then he slammed the car door shut.
Lu Zuofan quickly got out of the car, and Qu Jingyou had already gone inside.
Qu Chongyou happened to be home. When she saw her come in, he asked, "Who brought you back?"
When she went out today, she said she was going to get her nails done with a friend.
Qu Chongyou then looked at her hands: "Where are your nails? Didn't you change them?"
Qu Jingyou glanced at him and said, "Brother, you're so long-winded. Be careful your sister-in-law doesn't like you."
Qu Chongyou smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law calls this gentleness and thoughtfulness."
"Stop showing off your love." Qu Jingyou walked towards her room.
Qu Chongyou followed her and asked, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
"Why are you home at this time?" Qu Jingyou asked. "Don't you have to work?"
"I came back to get a document." Qu Chongyou looked at her: "Who made our little princess angry?"
"Brother, let me ask you, do you men like starry sky ceilings?"
Qu Chongyou said honestly, "Your sister-in-law likes it."
"So you bought it for your sister-in-law, right?"
Qu Chong nodded: "You like it too? I'll buy it for you."
"I don't care."
"What happened?" Qu Chongyou always doted on his younger sister: "Tell me, who bullied you? I'll get revenge for you."
Qu Jingyou was already grumpy when she woke up, but seeing the starry sky ceiling made her even angrier. Then she remembered that she had lost a bet, and everything was going wrong for her.
She couldn't tell Qu Chongyou these things either.
"I'm fine, just a little tired."
Qu Chongyou was in a hurry to get to the company and had made plans to have lunch with someone.
He said, "Then take a break. If you're bored, go find Ruan Ruan. I called her today; she didn't go to school and is resting at home."
"Why, is my sister feeling unwell?"
"No, nothing seems to be happening at school," Qu Chongyou said. "Shall I go then?"
After Qu Chongyou left, Qu Jingyou called Lin Xiyin.
Lin Xiyin did take a break today, but she didn't stay idle at home; she kept reading and researching.
Pei Muye stayed by her side, feeding her from time to time and bringing her food and drinks.
Her phone rang, and Pei Muyi handed it to her again: "It's Jingjing on the phone."
"Jingjing?" Lin Xiyin answered the phone, "What's wrong?"
"Sister, you're home."
"Yeah, I didn't go to school today. What are you doing?"
“I just came back from outside. My brother said you’re off today.”
"Yes, he called earlier to ask if I was feeling unwell."
"Sister, I'm a little unhappy."
Lin Xiyin put down the book; "What's wrong? Why are you unhappy?"
"I don't know." Qu Jingyou was a little embarrassed to talk about her bet: "By the way, sister, do you know that Lu Zuofan can cook?"
"Cooking? I don't know anything about that." Lin Xiyin glanced at Pei Muyi. "I don't have much contact with him. Shall I ask him for you?"
"Okay, ask your brother-in-law if Lu Zuofan knows he can make desserts."
Lin Xiyin agreed, then asked Pei Muye, "Did you know that Lu Zuofan can cook? And make desserts too?"
Pei Muye shook his head: "Cooking... he probably knows a little, but I've never eaten his cooking. As for desserts, I don't know, I've never heard him mention them. But he probably doesn't know how, why would he make desserts?"
Lin Xiyin had just placed her phone next to Pei Muye, so Qu Jingyou heard what Pei Muye said.
Lin Xiyin said, "He doesn't know either. What's wrong, Jingjing? Is Lu Zuofan going to cook for you?"
"No," Qu Jingyou said weakly, "I just think he's really annoying."
"He's just so annoying." Lin Xiyin coaxed her, "Our Jingjing won't talk to him."
Qu Jingyou was originally ignoring him, but then she found out she had lost the bet.
Even Pei Muyi didn't know he could make desserts; this scoundrel is really good at hiding it.
She tricked herself into making a bet with him, and in the end, he succeeded.
Qu Jingyou felt that she couldn't outmaneuver him at all.
If we meet every day, wouldn't I be constantly being lied to by him?
But she had already promised Lu Zuofan, and there was no way she could go back on her word.
Ultimately, it's her fault for underestimating her opponent.
Lin Xiyin asked her, "What's wrong with Jingjing? Did he bully you?"
Qu Jingyou had no words to express her grievances: "No, sister, he wouldn't dare to bully me."
Not wanting to say much, she was really annoyed: "Sister, please take care of yourself. I'll come see you in a couple of days."
"Okay, Jingjing should also be happy. If you don't like him, just ignore him."
The two chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up.
Just as he hung up, Qu Jingyou's phone rang.
She looked at it and saw that it was sent by Lu Zuofan.
He asked: When do we meet tomorrow?
Not just tomorrow, but every day from now on, I want to see him.
Qu Jingyou wanted to smash her phone.
But she is a person of her word and cannot go back on her word.
She angrily poked at her phone and replied to him: We'll see!
Lu Zuofan quickly replied: Okay, then I'll wait for your message.
What are you waiting for!
So annoying!
Qu Jingyou had never been so annoyed.
She really wanted to travel back to that morning and strangle her past self.
What are you betting on!
You have a sharp tongue!
Sure enough, gambling, drugs, and prostitution are deadly!
Qu Jingyou went out with her friends in the afternoon, and this time she really did get her nails done.
She wasn't in a good mood and wasn't in the mood to pick and choose. After she finished, she realized that she didn't really like it.
But even after two or three hours, it's impossible to uninstall it immediately.
Nothing made her happy all day.
After dinner, she returned to her room, and her phone rang again. It was a message from Lu Zuofan.
He then asked: "Is it okay if we meet tomorrow morning?"
Qu Jingyou typed furiously: Afternoon!
Even a little later is better than nothing.
Lu Zuofan asked: What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you.
It's all because of my gluttony.
Qu Jingyou typed again: I won't eat anything!
