Chapter 99 Lu-Ye 4

Ye Jingzhan fed the cat and looked back to see Lu Junze still standing in the living room.

"Mr. Lu, please sit down. I'll get you a bottle of water."

Lu Junze sat on the sofa. Ye Jingzhan came over to get some water from the refrigerator and felt dazed when he saw this scene.

Although they were inseparable in the company before, Lu Junze had never been to his home. Now that he had left him and was living in another place, Lu Junze was sitting on the sofa in his home.

That's not right, because this apartment belongs to the company, and strictly speaking, it should also belong to Lu Junze.

"Please wait a moment. I'll try to do it as quickly as possible."

Lu Junze: "Although I'm not very good at it, I can help you."

"No, no, I can handle it." Ye Jingzhan quickly refused. It seemed reasonable that he had invited the boss to dinner, so it didn't make sense for him to ask the boss to do it himself.

Ye Jingzhan didn't come back to his senses until Lu Junze took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and started washing the vegetables.

He vaguely felt that something was different about Lu Junze. He used to have a good temper, but he always seemed very distant.

I am one of the few people he trusts, but I still have to be careful about my sense of propriety. Lu Junze looks gentle and easy to talk to, but in fact, he will be ruthless if others cross the line.

This is also the reason why Ye Jingzhan has never dared to show his love for him in all these years. If he wants to stay, he can only hide it.

Ye Jingzhan's attempts to persuade him were futile and he could only let him go, but he still silently quickened his pace.

The two of them were indeed much faster; it took less than forty minutes for the three dishes and a soup to be served.

Ye Jingzhan wanted to add another dish, but Lu Junze stopped him: "Don't do it, I don't eat much at night, these are enough."

Ye Jingzhan had no choice but to give up.

Ye Jingzhan looked at the table, which was full of homely dishes, sweet and sour spare ribs, stir-fried cucumber and shrimp, stir-fried broccoli, and even the soup was tomato and egg soup. He felt a little embarrassed: "Please make do with it, Mr. Lu. My cooking skills are limited."

He was not used to changing his words yet, so he forgot it for a moment.

Lu Junze looked at him: "What did you call me?"

Ye Jingzhan responded: "Mr. Lu, let's eat."

Lu Junze picked up the chopsticks and first reached for the broccoli but then turned and picked up a shrimp.

"How is it?" Ye Jingzhan was a little nervous.

"It's delicious. I didn't expect your cooking skills are so good." Lu Junze didn't lie, it was really delicious. The shrimps were freshly peeled, the meat was firm and chewy, and it also blended with the fragrance of cucumber.

Lu Junze picked up another small steak, which was slightly sweet but not greasy, and the meat was soft and not dry.

"Your craftsmanship is excellent," Lu Junze praised sincerely.

Ye Jingzhan was relieved: "As long as Mr. Lu likes it."

"I like it very much. How come you are such a good cook?" It's not surprising for a boy to be able to cook, but not many can make the food taste so good.

Ye Jingzhan smiled sheepishly: "My mother's cooking is more delicious. I have liked watching her since I was a child, and then I gradually learned how to cook."

Lu Junze nodded: "You and your parents must have a very good relationship."

"Um."

The two chatted while eating, and most of the time it was Lu Junze who asked questions and Ye Jingzhan who answered them.

Perhaps it was because the atmosphere was too good, and before they knew it, they had finished their meal, leaving only a little soup.

You look at me and I look at you, neither of us can eat anymore.

Ye Jingzhan smiled first: "It's okay, just pour this little bit of soup."

Lu Junze also smiled: "Yeah."

Ye Jingzhan stood up to clean up. Lu Junze wanted to lend a hand, but was stopped again: "Mr. Lu, please take a rest. I can do it myself."

"No problem. I'll take it for you so you don't have to make another trip."

It was a familiar sentence. Ye Jingzhan suddenly thought of his own parents. This often happened when his father helped his mother clean up after dinner.

He chuckled, his lips curled up in pleasure.

Lu Junze noticed it and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Ye Jingzhan couldn't help laughing: "It's okay, I just suddenly thought of my parents, they often do this."

As soon as the words came out, before Lu Junze realized anything, he heard Ye Jingzhan apologizing.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, that's not what I meant. It just suddenly occurred to me."

"It's okay. I don't mind."

Lu Junze didn't know what kind of image he had in front of Ye Jingzhan. It was just a joke, so he didn't take it to heart.

Ye Jingzhan looked at Lu Junze and made sure that he really didn't care, then he relaxed.

Even though he wanted to give up, he couldn't help but care when people were in front of him.

While washing the dishes, Lu Junze sat on the sofa, thinking about how to start this.

During this period of time, he thought about it again and again and confirmed his feelings for Ye Jingzhan. He also carefully recalled many details and felt that Ye Jingzhan should be interested in him as well.

But after today's interaction, he was not sure. He just felt that Ye Jingzhan was more, how should I put it, more respectful to him? Or more distant?

Anyway, it doesn't look like she likes him.

Did you make a mistake in your judgment?

He once again recalled the details of their time together today, but before he could come to any conclusion, Ye Jingzhan had already washed the dishes and walked over.

Logically, he should have said goodbye by now, but he didn't want to leave.

He didn't feel it before, but when he really saw him, he realized that Ye Jingzhan was by his side, and he felt at ease.

"I'll give you a salary increase after this project is completed, and I'll give you a promotion when I return." Lu Junze was just making small talk.

But Ye Jingzhan did not look happy, and he said hesitantly: "Boss Lu, I, I won't go back to the headquarters."

Lu Junze was stunned for a moment, then controlled his expression: "What do you mean?"

Ye Jingzhan's eyes were a little evasive: "It's pretty good here."

The other person didn't want to go back at all. Knowing this, Lu Junze couldn't help but get angry.

He suppressed his anger and asked, "The person I like is here?"

Ye Jingzhan was unusually flustered: "No, no."

Lu Junze raised his eyebrows: "You should know my cousin, Lu Junyan. He said that you rejected him because you already had someone you liked."

Ye Jingzhan didn't expect that they could talk about this before. He didn't know how to explain it and was speechless, which was a rare occurrence for him.

Lu Junze was a little aggressive: "Who do you like?"

Ye Jingzhan closed his eyes and thought to himself, why not just say it out, but he still had some sense, and he was not ready to draw a clear line with Lu Junze for the time being, so he could only deny: "No."

Lu Junze felt a little reluctant, but since he had already said this, he couldn't let it go: "Really? Or, you can't say it."

Lu Junze looked like he already knew something. Ye Jingzhan was panicking. He tried to speak calmly, "Boss Lu, this is my own business."

Lu Junze had been observing his expression and did not miss the deep sadness in Ye Jingzhan's eyes when he looked at him just now.

"Ye Jingzhan, you like me!" Lu Junze said firmly.
