Zhang Wanru couldn't help but pray to heaven in her heart, hoping that she could successfully get rid of Lin Haoran, this piece of dog shit.
She has already wasted twenty years of her life on Lin Haoran; fate should have a second thought for her.
At that moment, Zhang Wanru even wished that Lin Haoran would stay in prison until he died! And never come out again!
Seeing Zhang Wanru blush, Chen Xiaohe smiled crookedly: "Wanru, you're so cute, just like when you were young."
"Oh dear, hurry up and eat, you're making me feel embarrassed," Zhang Wanru said sweetly.
At this point, Chen Xiaohe asked again, "What kind of company does your son run? How big is it?"
"It's a tech company called Xiao An, with a few hundred employees now, and it's growing rapidly," Zhang Wanru said proudly, sharing some information she had learned online.
Chen Xiaohe seemed very interested and said excitedly, "Your son is so outstanding. Could you introduce us sometime?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wanru trembled. Recalling how Lin An had called in a bulldozer to flatten the Lin family's house, looking fierce and menacing, she dared not provoke Lin An again in the near future.
She quickly declined, saying, "The child is too busy. Let's talk about it another time."
Chen Xiaohe persisted, saying, "I know about Xiao An Company. When the child has time, you must introduce us. Maybe we can cooperate on some projects."
"We'll see, we'll see," Zhang Wanru said dismissively, while putting food into Chen Xiaohe's bowl, trying to shut him up with food: "This food tastes good, you should eat more."
Chen Xiaohe sensed the other party's resistance, and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. It seemed that he had been too impatient.
But he quickly put on a smile and followed Zhang Wanru's words, saying, "This dish does taste good, but I'd rather eat your cooking. Back when we were studying in China, you always said you'd let me try your cooking, but I never got the chance. But back then, everyone lived in dorms, so there really wasn't much of an opportunity. More than twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and to be honest, what I want to try most now is your cooking."
Zhang Wanru laughed a few times and said, "I haven't cooked much either, but if you want to try, I can give it a shot. I'm willing to cook for you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaohe excitedly replied, "Really? When is it convenient for you? I have plenty of time, whenever you're available."
Zhang Wanru quickly replied, "I also have a lot of free time, but since my partner and I separated, I've been living in a five-star hotel, so it's not very convenient to cook."
Chen Xiaohe looked delighted. People who can stay in five-star hotels for a long time must have extraordinary economic strength. Many wealthy people and celebrities love to stay in high-end hotels even if they own houses because the hotel service is good, and the dining, fitness, beauty and massage are all integrated. The comfort and convenience are even better than staying in a villa.
Chen Xiaohe said impatiently, "It's okay, just come to my house. I bought a villa as soon as I returned to China. You can come to my place. Tell me in advance what you want to do, and I'll prepare the ingredients for you and help you with the cooking."
When Zhang Wanru heard that he also owned a villa, she was incredibly excited. She knew that she, Zhang Wanru, was no ordinary person and was destined to live in a villa for the rest of her life.
Zhang Wanru immediately said, "Then why not do it today?"
Her thinking was simple: Lin Haoran would be released from the detention center in a few days, and who knows what kind of trouble he would cause then. She wanted to take advantage of these few quiet days to win over Chen Xiaohe, solidify their relationship, and bring him to live in a villa to enjoy a life of luxury as a wealthy lady!
This is a rare opportunity, the sooner the better.
After listening to Zhang Wanru's words, Chen Xiaohe also expressed his agreement:
"Okay, let's do this: after lunch, we'll go shopping for ingredients together, buy some good wine and dishes, then I'll take you home so you can rest, and we'll cook dinner together tonight."
Zhang Wanru nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay!"
She recalled that back then, everyone lived in the dormitory while studying, and she had been engaged to Lin Haoran since childhood, so naturally she didn't dare to tell her family that she had a boyfriend at school.
They dared not bring him home or cook for him.
In the 1980s, things weren't as convenient as they are now. Couples who wanted to cook together could find an apartment hotel or a family-run guesthouse in the suburbs, where everything was provided and the kitchen was available for them to use.
Back then, without a marriage certificate, neither of them could book a room at a guesthouse.
Young couples who want to get intimate usually go to the woods. To save electricity, there aren't many streetlights on campus, especially in the woods where there are practically no lights at all.
When night fell, the two of them would sneak inside. They couldn't go too late, because if they did, they wouldn't be able to find a suitable bench to sit on, and standing would be even more inconvenient.
At night, the grove was pitch black, and there would be a couple every ten meters or so. Everyone tacitly tried to keep their voices down so as not to disturb others. Even if they accidentally bumped into a classmate, they would pretend not to know each other and go about their own business.
Back then, the most annoying thing was that some single teachers, who had nothing to do at night, would come and grab people, shining a flashlight into the woods, startling a bunch of people.
The girl screamed in surprise. A reliable guy would help his girlfriend get dressed and run away together. Some unreliable guys, afraid of being caught by the teacher and affecting their future, would ignore the girl, pull up their pants and run away. Usually, they would break up the next day.
Chen Xiaohe is a good person and reliable.
These little moments from the past bear witness to their youth. Although these things seem a bit crazy now, what generation of young people doesn't have some crazy moments? It's normal for young people to have pent-up hormones and need to release them. Besides, due to the limitations of the times, there really wasn't a suitable place for them to do so.
Zhang Wanru blushed crimson when she thought about these things.
Chen Xiaohe noticed Zhang Wanru's unusual behavior and was a little confused. It was just cooking, why was she so shy? Had he been abroad for too long and cooking had taken on a different meaning?
However, he quickly understood what Zhang Wanru was thinking, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, revealing a meaningful smile. He never expected that Zhang Wanru, at her age, would be so shy about this.
He nervously rubbed his hands together. It seemed he had to perform well; if the old house was on fire, it would definitely be a raging inferno.
