After Chen Jing said those words, she felt a little embarrassed and looked away at the roses on the table.
Recently, the carnations on the restaurant tables have been replaced with roses donated by Luo Yifan personally.
He probably thought that if he gave Chen Jing a large bouquet of roses, she would definitely be very shy.
So he changed his approach, bringing a large bouquet of flowers every day and having Xiaoya arrange them on different tables, even in the office and kitchen. This way, Chen Jing wouldn't feel awkward, and she could see the flowers he sent anywhere in the store.
“Okay! When shall we go buy the ingredients?” Luo Yifan seemed very excited and immediately responded enthusiastically.
His excited reaction made Chen Jing feel that she was really going too far by dragging things out without giving him a response.
"No need to buy any, we can just take some from the store. Or is there anything you particularly want to eat? We can go buy some more."
Luo Yifan was so happy that he couldn't think straight. What he was given for dinner was not important at all. What was important was that he could finally officially enter the house.
Moreover, he was told this all of a sudden, without any warning.
This happiness came so suddenly to him that he had no other thoughts in his mind except for words like happy and excited.
"No need, we'll eat whatever's in the shop. Besides, I like anything you make! You've always known that, haven't you?" Luo Yifan said with a smile.
Chen Jing pretended not to hear him and turned to go into the kitchen.
At seven o'clock, Chen Jing finished cooking all the dishes ordered by the customers and walked out of the store carrying a large bag of ingredients.
She had already mentioned to Xiaoya and Xiaotao that she wanted to leave early, and now she explained it again.
"Aunt Jing, don't worry, we'll take good care of the shop. You and Boss Luo go on your date."
Chen Jing coughed twice, but this time she didn't refute anything as she had before, seemingly acknowledging Xiao Ya's date.
Luo Yifan, who was following behind Chen Jing, was on tenterhooks after hearing Xiao Ya's words, thinking that Chen Jing would deny it again as before.
Seeing that she remained silent, I finally felt relieved, and the joy that had been buoyant all afternoon suddenly soared even higher.
After stepping out the door, Luo Yifan quickly walked to the car and opened the passenger door.
Chen Jing hesitated for a moment, but still followed his lead and climbed into the seat.
Seeing this, Yan's driver, who was still acting as Chen Jing's driver and bodyguard, didn't say anything, but simply followed Luo Yifan's car and slowly drove away from the restaurant.
The restaurant wasn't far from the apartment, but Luo Yifan had never been there before.
With Chen Jing's directions, his car quickly arrived at the entrance of the residential area.
When the property security guard saw that it was an unfamiliar car, he naturally had to get out and ask questions before letting it pass.
Chen Jing rolled down the car window. The security guard who walked to the front of the car was slightly taken aback when he saw her. He looked up at the car that usually carried her behind the car and was a little puzzled.
"Aunt Jing, you got a new car?"
"No, this is my friend's car. Please make a note of it. If he comes to see me in the future, please let him pass."
Luo Yifan's hands, which were gripping the steering wheel, trembled slightly.
Does she mean that he can contact her anytime he wants in the future?
“Ah Jing…”
After the car entered the residential area, Luo Yifan finally couldn't help but shout.
Chen Jing, who had been focused on looking outside, turned to look at him when she heard his call.
"What's up?"
Luo Yifan took a breath. "From now on, can I come here to see you anytime?"
Luo Yifan thought that she was probably too shy to admit that she liked him or accepted him, so she expressed her feelings through her actions.
Chen Jingwei paused for a moment, then said, "Well, except for bedtime."
Although Luo Yifan had long since passed the impetuous stage of a young boy, he was currently so excited that he wanted to sing.
No wonder some people say that love has the power to make you young again.
This saying proved remarkably true for Luo Yifan.
Even after the car arrived at the apartment building as Chen Jing had directed, Luo Yifan still felt as if he were in a dazed and unreal dream world.
He stopped the car but didn't unlock it; he just quietly looked at Chen Jing.
Chen Jing couldn't open the door, so she turned around to ask him why he hadn't opened it yet. Her gaze suddenly met his almost passionate eyes, and her heart started pounding wildly.
"Jing, what you just said, is it all true?"
Even Luo Yifan himself wanted to slap himself. Was this anxious and indecisive person really Luo Yifan, who had dominated the catering industry for more than 20 years?
"Hmm!" Chen Jing knew he was referring to the fact that he could come to see her anytime.
Only after hearing her affirmative answer did Luo Yifan unlock the car and let Chen Jing get out.
Luo Yifan locked his car, and there, Chen Jing was already waiting for him with two large bags of groceries.
He strode over and reached out to take the bag from her hand. "Let me do it!"
Their fingers touched each other unintentionally.
Chen Jing seemed to be electrocuted, and subconsciously took two steps back.
Luo Yifan did not let her back down, and followed closely behind, this time forcibly snatching the bag away.
Chen Jing's retreat was not directed at Luo Yifan, but rather a subconscious avoidance of men.
Luo Yifan's assertiveness did not make her feel disgusted or annoyed.
She even felt that his assertive nature actually made him quite manly.
She always thought that at her age, as long as the other person was reliable and could give her a sense of security, that would be enough.
But as he approached with his mature and charming face, she was surprised to find him incredibly handsome.
It seems that everyone has a love for beauty.
Even though she was over forty, she was still very happy that the man who liked her, or rather, the man she liked in return, was capable, reliable, and could give her enough security.
Moreover, this man also needs to have a good-looking face and a pretty good physique.
"Let's go, it's getting late..."
He forced Chen Jing back step by step to the front of the building, then she suddenly turned around and ran into the lobby.
"coward……"
Luo Yifan watched her retreating figure, shook his head, and sighed softly.
However, to his great comfort, this coward finally took several brave steps.
Moreover, these consecutive steps represent a qualitative leap.
With that sigh, he took big strides and ran after her.
There was a corner ahead, and when Luo Yifan turned around, Chen Jing had already disappeared from sight.
