Chapter 102
There's a lot of stuff.
The trunk was opened, and Guan Nan stood in front of it, staring intently at the several gift boxes, deep in thought. For a moment, she couldn't tell if she simply lacked a concept of the word "many."
There were so many that they didn't need any help at all; they could even lift several boxes with both hands with ease.
As she reached for it, she said in a cooperative tone, "There are quite a lot."
"Hmm." Jiang Li fixed his gaze, seemingly oblivious to her polite response. He didn't pick up anything, but turned to the side, opened the back door, came over with a small bag, and handed her a pen.
Guan Nan was puzzled when he saw him press down on the gift box and take out several documents from the bag.
The document's centered title is obscured, and not the entire document is displayed.
"Sign your name," Jiang Li said slowly.
Guan Nan: "Signature?"
“Hmm,” Jiang Li’s lips curled into a smile, “Sell yourself to me.”
"······"
Jiang Li tilted his head, raised an eyebrow, and smiled meaningfully, "What, you don't want to?"
The air became very quiet.
However, Guan Nan stared at the blank space waiting for autographs, looked up at him, and asked seriously, "How long will it take to sign?"
Before Jiang Li could speak, she quickly added, "Can the contract be renewed?"
"······"
"Does it automatically renew when the time comes?"
"······"
"Should we sign a new contract?"
"······"
After seemingly pondering for a few seconds, Guan Nan carefully chose her words, and based on his changing expression, tentatively said, "If possible, we can draft a new contract on the spot and sign it—"
The average life expectancy for humans is 65 years.
But with her standing beside him, Guan Nan greedily prayed that she and he would live to be a hundred years old.
In that case, she has 75 years left to live.
“75 years,” Guan Nan paused, “Do you think that’s acceptable?”
Jiang Li lowered his eyes, his tone slightly drawn out, and said lazily, "If you don't want to sign, just say so."
“I do want to.” Guan Nan was taken aback.
“Oh,” Jiang Li lifted his eyelids to meet her gaze, his eyes mocking, “You didn’t even look at her or ask her anything, and you just signed whatever I told you to sign? Aren’t you afraid it’s a contract of servitude?”
Guan Nan muttered, "I'm willing to sign a contract of servitude."
Jiang Li nodded and asked casually, "You signed unequal treaties too?"
"Sign it," Guan Nan replied matter-of-factly.
Jiang Li gave a half-smile.
He looked as if he didn't believe her. Guan Nan was a little dissatisfied with his reaction, but she wasn't sure what he was thinking at the moment, so she continued, "I really am willing, and I am doing this voluntarily."
Jiang Li stared straight at her, as if he still didn't believe her.
Seeing this, Guan Nan showed his sincerity and signed his name on the document.
Her handwriting, as always, is neat and tidy, giving people a pleasing aesthetic sense, like autumn rain falling on half a layer of frost, resting on light and night.
Guan Nan became a little curious after signing several copies. Even if it was a contract of servitude, two copies would be enough, but there were several more below.
The key point is that for every copy she signs, Jiang Li flips to the next one.
He moved casually, but in reality, he kept his head down, staring at the question, leaving her no room to look.
Guan Nan was puzzled, and casually said, "Didn't we come here to pick up something?"
“Okay,” Jiang Li responded, then flipped to another contract and said slowly, “We’ll go up after we sign it.”
After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Guan Nan, his expression a mixture of suspicion and accusation: "You don't actually want to sign, do you?"
Guan Nan: "I didn't."
After saying that, he was too lazy to think about it anymore, so he simply signed the document in one go.
After finishing the last stroke, Guan Nan closed the pen cap and handed it back to him, as if to say that she didn't mean it that way, or as if to express her dissatisfaction that he had misunderstood her.
"Hmm." Jiang Li took the pen and carefully checked for any omissions in the signatures.
"..." Seeing his serious expression, Guan Nan felt a little aggrieved. "Are you that distrustful of me?"
Jiang Li chuckled softly: "I'm very relieved."
Guan Nan pursed her lips. "I can't tell."
“Oh, right,” Jiang Li suddenly said, as if remembering something, “didn’t you ask me the other day when you thanked me? I said it was on the first day at the coffee shop, but actually it wasn’t.”
Hearing this, Guan Nan looked at him, not quite understanding what he meant.
Jiang Li spoke casually, his voice tinged with a faint chuckle: "It was the day we got our marriage certificate."
"······"
Seeing that she didn't speak, Jiang Li handed her the bag and said slowly, "I should be thanking you. This is a thank-you gift."
Guan Nan's face went blank: "A thank-you gift?"
"Please accept this." Jiang Li stuffed the bag into her hand.
Guan Nan glanced at the bag, then at him, looking confused: "What's this?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Li tilted his chin up, indicating that she should see for herself.
As Jiang Li was carrying the gift box and closing the trunk, Guan Nan was still staring at the bag, hesitating whether she should rummage through it or not.
Jiang Li turned around and was about to walk towards the elevator.
Therefore, Guan Nan decisively gave up on this idea.
She swiped her card and followed Jiang Li upstairs.
He said he was coming down to lend a hand, but apart from the bag in his hand, he didn't help at all; all the crab gift boxes were in Jiang Li's hands alone.
Guan Nan thought for a moment and said, "I'll take two."
"Next time," Jiang Li said with a faint smile.
Once upstairs, Guan Nan first put the bag back in her room, then joined everyone in the kitchen.
I could vaguely see He Jiafen rummaging through the food, muttering, "Why is there chocolate everywhere? Isn't it greasy?"
Jiang Li replied lazily, "It's none of your business."
Because there were so many crabs, just making noodles wouldn't be enough, so everyone discussed steaming and pan-frying them. Those with special skills crowded into the kitchen, ready to show off their best techniques.
At that time, the few who couldn't cook were kicked out of the kitchen.
At the same time, Jiang Siyao went to the restroom, but someone was occupying it and hadn't come out yet.
Jiang Siyao: "How much longer?"
"I need to poop," He Jiafen shouted from inside.
"You're a fucking shit king," Jiang Siyao said, speechless with anger, lowering her voice, "You might as well live in there."
Just then, Guan Nan placed the prepared dishes on the island counter.
She hesitated for a moment, then pointed towards the bedroom and reminded her, "Hello, there's also a bathroom inside."
"Oh, oh," Jiang Siyao hesitated, "Wouldn't that be inconvenient...?"
Guan Nan smiled and shook her head: "No, it won't happen."
Qu Qinghuai, who was sitting on the sofa, noticed Jiang Siyao's unusual behavior. He immediately put down his phone and came over, asking her in a low voice, "Are you on your period? I think it's about time."
The usually confident Jiang Siyao felt inexplicably embarrassed and reserved in front of Guan Nan: "It seems so."
Qu Qinghuai knew what she was thinking, but he couldn't be too reserved at the moment, so he turned to ask, "Jiang Li, do you have any sanitary napkins here?"
“Yes, in the bathroom cabinet,” Jiang Li answered naturally without turning his head, “There are two, one inside and one outside.”
They seemed to take this kind of thing for granted, but when Guan Nan, Ye Na, and Chen Fei looked at each other, their expressions were all surprised.
Then Lin Rui said that one shouldn't eat cold or raw foods during menstruation and that a separate portion should be prepared.
"Two copies." Jiang Li added another disk and placed it next to the backup disk.
Qi Qi said, "Then I'll add one too."
Lin Rui said bluntly, "Are you a woman? You should have one. It's bad for other people's health to eat cold food, but it's bad for your prostate if you eat cold food."
"Brother," Qi Qi said with a bitter face, "have I done anything to upset you lately?"
Yu Shu patted him on the shoulder and comforted him with a smile, "Don't pay attention to him, he's going through early menopause."
There were too many people, and the island counter couldn't hold them all, so they cleared out the coffee table. They carried the food and squatted in front of the coffee table, dividing the dishes into bowls and chopsticks, serving the food from the pot, and cooperating with each other.
During the meal, everyone chatted about recent interesting events, tacitly avoiding a certain incident.
Afterwards, they somehow started playing cards. Guan Nan felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen, and her pale skin looked a little haggard. But seeing that everyone was having a great time, she forced herself not to spoil the fun.
After playing a few rounds, it was Guan Nan's turn to leave the table. She went back to her room to get a uterine warming device, tied it around her waist, and came out to sit in a spot near the power outlet. When she turned around, she noticed brown sugar water on the table.
The water was warm, neither too hot nor too cold, and she paused.
Guan Nan raised her eyes, glanced at Jiang Li, and then at Jiang Siyao.
Jiang Siyao was seen picking up the brown sugar water and drinking it all in one gulp.
When that gaze swept over her, Guan Nan quickly lowered her head and turned up the temperature on the board by two degrees. However, she was stunned by what he said next.
Is this mine?
