Chapter 775 She developed delusions about Fu Nian'an
She stared intently at Fu Nian'an, her delicate face displaying a fascinating array of expressions. Her beautiful eyes sparkled like a deer's, lively and captivating.
Fu Nian'an looked at her, his deep eyes reflecting her current helpless appearance, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly, "Be careful of the hot pot."
Le Yan then realized how reckless her actions had been!
She blushed deeply, lowered her head, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."
Fu Nian'an let go of her and walked to the stove herself. "Let me do it."
Le Yan watched as he rolled up his sleeves and slowly and methodically put on disposable gloves.
His composure made it seem like he was very skilled at cooking.
Le Yan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Mr. Fu, do you usually cook?"
“I’ve never made this before,” he glanced at Le Yan, “but cooking this shouldn’t require any special skills, right?”
"Yes...no, it's not necessary."
Fu Nian'an held the takeout box in one hand, and with her other hand, which was wearing a disposable glove, her slender fingers gently scooped the wontons into the pot.
So composed, so simple!
Le Yan's face flushed again as she watched.
Okay, she's just too stupid!
Fu Nian'an only cooked half a box of wontons, then turned to look at Le Yan, "Is this enough?"
Le Yan was both amused and exasperated, looking at him, "Why did you ask me what you wanted to eat?"
Aren't you going to eat?
"Me?" Le Yan hesitated for a moment. "You mean I can eat at your house too?"
"Hmm." Fu Nian'an asked, "Did you have dinner?"
Le Yan shook her head, "Not yet."
"Let's eat together then," Fu Nian'an said. "Do you know how to steam xiaolongbao?"
Le Yan: "...Yes."
"Then take a few small steamed buns and put them in the steamer to steam."
"Okay!" Le Yan walked happily to the refrigerator in her cartoon-print cotton shoes and opened it. Behind her, a deep male voice came: "Take whatever juice you want from the refrigerator."
"Oh, okay." Le Yan glanced at the whole row of juices.
Grape juice, strawberry juice, mango juice, orange juice... and even peach juice!
She picked up a bottle of peach juice and turned to ask Fu Nian'an, "Mr. Fu, what would you like to drink?"
"Coconut water will do."
"OK!"
Leyan took out two bottles of juice and a few steamed buns and put them in the steamer.
Lin Xiangyu once said that freshly made xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) without any frozen fillings only need to be steamed for ten minutes.
Leyan adjusted the time and pressed start.
The steamer started operating, and she turned to look at Fu Nian'an.
Fu Nian'an is adjusting the sauce.
The man, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, stood in front of the kitchen counter, slightly bending over as he sliced ginger.
Black trousers and a white shirt, sleeves rolled up to reveal strong, fair forearms.
Even a kitchen knife in a man's hand seems to become a work of art; his profile is serious and focused, with a shadow beneath his lowered eyelids.
Le Yan was stunned for a moment.
After Fu Nian'an finished slicing the ginger, he turned around and saw Le Yan's stunned expression.
The man paused, raising a slight brow: "Miss Le, snap out of it."
Le Yan was startled, and when she came to her senses, she met the man's smiling eyes, and her cheeks flushed again.
"I, I'll take the juice out!"
Le Yan grabbed two bottles of juice and ran out of the kitchen as if fleeing.
Fu Nian'an smiled faintly.
I wondered why someone with such a thin skin would choose to become a celebrity.
In the living room, Le Yan covered her burning cheeks with a bottle of juice in each hand.
She's really finished!
She harbored evil intentions towards Fu Nian'an!
Her heart fluttered just being alone with him.
Will she still be a decent contract girlfriend after this?!
Le Yan scratched her head in anguish!
Fu Nian'an chose her because he believed she had no ulterior motives. If Fu Nian'an knew she had feelings for him...
Will Fu Nian'an be disappointed in her?
There's even a possibility that she had ulterior motives from the start!
Thinking about it this way, Le Yan hurriedly shook her head, wishing she could shake those delusional thoughts that she shouldn't have and couldn't have out of her mind!
...
At the dining table, Fu Nian'an and Le Yan sat facing each other.
The two of them lowered their heads and ate their wontons quietly.
A plate of delicate steamed buns was placed in the center of the table.
Le Yan would steal glances at Fu Nian'an from time to time.
Fu Nian'an ate with refined elegance. What was clearly a very ordinary snack was made to look like a Michelin-starred restaurant by the man.
Le Yan stared intently at the screen, lost in thought...
Noticing that the person opposite her hadn't moved for a while, Fu Nian'an paused slightly, then looked up.
The girl held a spoon and stirred the wontons in the bowl, her eyes fixed on him, but her mind seemed to have wandered off somewhere else.
"Le Yan".
"..." No response.
Fu Nian'an smiled slightly, "Lin Leyan."
"Huh?" Le Yan snapped out of her daze, met Fu Nian'an's gaze, and immediately felt a little guilty. "W-what's wrong?"
"Eat quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold," Fu Nian'an reminded him.
"Oh, I'll eat right away!" Le Yan lowered her head, scooped up a wonton, and stuffed it into her mouth.
Fu Nian'an ate the last wonton, drank a few sips of soup, and put down the soup spoon.
He took a few tissues to wipe his mouth and looked at Le Yan, saying, "Your sister is a pretty good cook."
“She really has a talent for food!” Le Yan said. “We almost went back to our hometown and opened a snack shop.”
"Before?"
"Yeah, but I'm not planning to go back now!" Le Yan smiled. "I terminated my contract with my old company and just signed with Huanxing! You should know Huanxing, right?"
Fu Nian'an: "...I know."
"The only entertainment company in the industry that can be called 'family'!" Le Yan's beautiful eyes sparkled when she mentioned Huanxing: "It was Attorney Shen who connected me with them!"
"Really?" Fu Nian'an smiled faintly. "It seems that Attorney Shen likes you quite a bit too."
"She's very beautiful and so outstanding, yet she's not at all arrogant. I used to think she was the kind of aloof, mature woman, but after meeting her and getting to know her properly, I found that she's actually quite easygoing. The day she drove me home, she even asked me to call her 'sister'!"
Fu Nian'an: "...She's seven years older than you, so calling her 'older sister' isn't wrong."
Based on Le Yan's description alone, Fu Nian'an had already guessed that her mother and sister had secretly communicated, and that Le Yan's contract termination lawsuit was probably arranged by her mother at her sister's request.
The mother and daughter have probably discussed it and decided not to let Le Yan know that they are a family for the time being.
He probably didn't want Leyan to feel guilty if she found out.
A little girl whose birth and luck have always been unfortunate will always remember any kindness she receives.
He had only helped her a couple of times before, but she had always remembered him as a great philanthropist.
If the girl knew that Huanxing was her mother's business and that the person who fought the lawsuit for her was her sister, she would probably treat him like a Buddha from now on!
Fu Nian'an really didn't want Le Yan to go back to the way she was before, always reserved and hesitant in front of him.
He was quite satisfied with the atmosphere when Le Yan was with him; it was relaxed and comfortable.
When Mingming first met Leyan, he was trying to avoid her because she had gotten into a fight with another woman over resources.
At that time, he never imagined that there would be a sequel between him and Le Yan.
As Fu Nian'an looked at Le Yan, a part of his heart was slowly loosening, quietly undergoing a change.
...
After finishing her meal, Leyan put the plates in the sink and turned on the tap to wash them.
Fu Nian'an walked to the kitchen door and looked at her, "The housekeeper will come to clean up tomorrow, you can just leave it there."
Before Le Yan could react, her cell phone rang.
She washed her hands and took out her phone.
It was a call from an unknown number.
Huanxing said that a new agent would contact her in the next few days.
Le Yan guessed it was her manager, so she pressed the answer button.
