Long Tingwei tried to focus on cooking, temporarily forgetting Jian Mujin's disgust and aloofness towards him, and his mood gradually improved.
The food was ready, and the rice was steamed. Long Tingwei set the table and smiled ingratiatingly, "Come and eat, see if it suits your taste!"
He knew that Jian Mujin would like to eat, because she ate a lot on the old man's birthday.
He only served himself, because he couldn't handle spicy food very well.
Jian Mujin was originally going to tell him to cook less because she had already eaten instant noodles and couldn't eat much rice. But then she thought about it and wondered if Xixi Haha and the others had eaten, so she called them.
When it was time to eat, the three of them came together. Actually, Jian Mujin had called Xiao Wang, but Xiao Wang knew that Long Tingwei was there, and she didn't want to be a third wheel, so she made an excuse that she was busy and didn't go.
The shrill laughter was almost unbearable. Looking at the sumptuous meal on the table, his mouth was practically watering.
"He really cooked for you himself! A rich and handsome man actually cooked for you personally, ah, aren't you happy?"
Ci Er glanced at Long Tingwei, who was busy with something, and exclaimed in surprise to Jian Mujin.
The two of them, laughing and chuckling, also chimed in with amusement.
"I'm not happy! I'm afraid it's poisoned. I thought I could still eat some, and I didn't want to waste food, so I let you all try it!"
These words earned him a barrage of punches from the three men: "You little devil! You've turned bad! If you're afraid it's poisonous, why don't you let us eat it? What if we all die?"
"Don't worry! I'll be with you. I just feel it's too lonely for one person to go to heaven alone. Let's keep each other company! We're such good friends, we must be sisters in the next life!"
"Pfft! I don't want to be a pig. Go find out how many mothers in the world can give birth to quadruplets!"
The three chattered away, but still managed to serve themselves a bowl of rice, grab chopsticks, and sit down to eat.
"Hey, why isn't he coming over to eat? Why won't you let him come over? What are you busy with?" Haha glanced inside again and whispered to Jian Mujin.
"He's probably full. Last time it was Grandpa Long's birthday, I didn't see him eat more than a few bites. He doesn't make a sound when he eats!"
Jian Mujin talked about Long Tingwei as if she had discovered something new. Before she could say anything more, she was met with disdainful looks from the three of them.
"You said you didn't like him, yet you're so observant! He's a very wealthy man, he definitely needs to be mindful of his image!"
Jian Mujin got angry and retorted, "No way! Look at me, I make noise when I chew, and Grandpa makes noise when he eats, but he doesn't make any noise. I'm just curious how he does it. Also, I've never seen him fart when I'm with him!"
Pfft! The three of them were eating happily when they suddenly looked at Jian Mujin with disgust. "You even care whether someone farts or not? You're really something else. You say this while we're eating. Luckily we're talking about Long Tingwei. If it were anyone else, I would have stopped eating long ago!"
People are treating you really well now, you should be content!
"What's so good about him! Why should I be good to him just because he's good to me? Have you all forgotten how he treated me before?"
Jian Mujin rolled her eyes, held a bowl of rice, and ate it all up with a bite of spicy food.
XiXi put down her bowl after eating half of her meal and couldn't help but glance at Long Tingwei. There was no way around it; ever since they learned that he had transferred a large sum of money to the three of them, their opinion of him had changed. Today, when they heard that he had cooked for Jian Mujin again, they all felt a glimmer of hope that the two of them could be together.
Jian Mujin is a bit stubborn, and it won't be easy to move her in a short time.
A moment later, XiXi let out a gasp, turned around, pointed at Long Tingwei, and then pointed at Jian Mujin.
"Dan'er, you're too bold! It's not enough that I cook for you, you also have to make someone wash your clothes. I don't even have enough clothes for you normally, and now you're washing the clothes you wear next to your underwear? Aren't you ashamed?!"
Haha and Ci'er heard this and rushed over to take a look. When they came back, they pointed at Jian Mujin with an expression that said she was beyond saving.
Jian Mujin remembered the blood-stained underwear she had taken off a couple of days ago, touched her burning face, and then said nonchalantly, "He wanted to wash it himself, I didn't make him."
She finally understood why he had bought that for her!
Long Tingwei inside heard their conversation clearly and couldn't help but wonder if Dan'er might have a little bit of affection for him now?
After finally finishing washing the pile of clothes that Jian Mujin had accumulated over the past two days, they heard the three of them say to Dan'er,
"How about we go to a bar for drinks later? The one that Long Tingwei smashed up last time. Let's see what the decor looks like."
Long Tingwei was still immersed in his wonderful imagination when he heard these words and his heart clenched.
She finally stopped hating me as much as before. If I remind her of what I did to her back then, will she start to hate me again?
How long will it take for me to win back her heart?
"Go ahead! Let's see if they dare to mess with me this time! Now that Grandpa's back, I have him as my backer, what am I afraid of!"
Jian Mujin had a carefree expression. Long Tingwei didn't realize that she cared a lot about the pain he had caused her in the past. But why did she only mention her grandfather and not him?
In her heart, was her grandfather the one who could give her a sense of security? Long Tingwei secretly blamed himself for the wrong things he had done to Jian Mujin.
When Long Tingwei came out, he saw that it had stopped raining outside, so he offered to take them home.
The three of them naturally agreed, and Jian Mujin remained silent, which was tantamount to her consent.
After watching the three of them get into the car, Long Tingwei carefully protected Jian Mujin's head and started the engine after she got in.
"I wish I had a car, then I could take you guys for a drive every day!" Jian Mujin was restless in the car. Last time he rode in Uncle Ming's car, he was very quiet the whole time because I was there.
But today all her friends were there, and she kept chattering away the whole way while she was driving!
"What color car do you like? I'll get you one!" Long Tingwei turned to ask her.
Jian Mujin touched her face and laughed, "I haven't decided yet!"
Looking at her smile, Long Tingwei really wanted to pull her into his arms.
Upon arriving at their destination, the jeers and laughter jarred everyone as they got out of the car. Jian Mujin was about to get off as well, but Long Tingwei grabbed her hand. "Wait a minute, I want to say a few words to you!"
Jian Mujin looked at him warily, "What did you say?"
A bitter smile crossed Long Tingwei's face, but he quickly regained his composure and showed her his softer side.
Long Tingwei casually took something from somewhere in the car and handed it to Jian Mujin.
"Open it and see if you like it?"
Jian Mujin opened the box with a mixture of curiosity and suspicion, and found a ring inside the beautifully packaged gift box, with a large ruby diamond on it.
This gift certainly suited Jian Mujin's aesthetic tastes; she loved such tacky things. But she couldn't accept it!
