"This isn't something you made, is it? It tastes different from usual!" Jian Mujin licked her lips, paused for a moment, and then drank some more.
Long Tingwei's lips curled up. "Not bad, you can taste it. This was made for you by Xiao Wang, it simmered for a full two hours. How does it compare to mine?"
Jian Mujin smiled smugly, "What can't I smell? It doesn't matter who made it, as long as it's edible and not poisoned. But to be honest, I prefer yours, it's a bit spicy!"
Now that Jian Mujin has forgiven Long Tingwei, she sometimes teases him. When she smiles mischievously, Long Tingwei's smile is as warm as the sun in the sky.
"If you like it, I'll make it for you tonight!"
The employees were working while gossiping about their CEO. When they heard that the CEO had even cooked for her personally, their eyes lit up.
After finishing the bone broth, Jian Mujin needed to use the restroom. Long Tingwei wanted to help her, but Jian Mujin waved her hand, saying, "I'm not that fussy!"
Seeing that she was better, Long Tingwei stopped pressuring her. He opened the packaging bag, revealing a large pile of dried fruit.
Long Tingwei held a fruit opener in one hand and began peeling with the other.
When Qi Siyu came over to offer to help, Long Tingwei stopped her, saying, "It's alright, you go ahead and do your thing!"
Qi Siyu felt that Long Tingwei was particularly approachable today, so she boldly asked, "President, these dried fruits come with shells, why bother peeling them?"
As he peeled the skin, Long Tingwei transformed into a life coach, smirking as he said, "You probably don't have a girlfriend yet, right?"
"Yes, not yet!" Don't let Qi Siyu's position as a director and annual salary of over a million fool you; she's still single.
Long Tingwei nodded. "Peeling fruit and shrimp is physical work, but if a woman sees that you're willing to put in the effort to do these things for her, she'll definitely be touched. Secondly, most women are vain. If a CEO like me peels fruit for her in front of you, she'll naturally feel a little proud. When it comes to pursuing women, these flirting skills are indispensable!"
Qi Siyu suddenly realized and flattered, "Hearing your words is better than reading for ten years, I have learned a lot!"
"But President, you've done so much for her, but she doesn't seem touched at all!" It wasn't that Qi Siyu wanted to put Long Tingwei down, but Jian Mujin simply didn't care about the president.
"Oh, of course, because the woman I like is definitely not an ordinary person!"
These words highlighted Long Tingwei's high emotional intelligence, and Qi Siyu couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
"She's certainly not ordinary. She often takes leave to go on blind dates. President, do you mind if Miss Jian cheats on you?" Qi Siyu got carried away with the conversation and forgot that he was actually asking the big boss about his private affairs during work hours, which would normally be absolutely forbidden.
Long Tingwei was still not angry. He had come to terms with it and sighed, "If you want to get by in life, you have to be a little cuckolded. Besides, who dares to cuckold me? No matter how many bad suitors that little woman has around her, I'll nip them all in the bud and see if she dares to go on blind dates then!"
Upon hearing Jian Mujin's voice, Long Tingwei suddenly stopped, "That's enough bragging. You can all go about your business. Pretend you didn't hear what I just said!"
Everyone was astonished; they had never known that their domineering, cold, and arrogant CEO was actually henpecked.
"What are you talking about?" Jian Mujin asked curiously when she heard the voices upon returning.
"It's nothing, sit down and eat, try it and see if it's good?"
Long Tingwei fed one to Jian Mujin, who nodded. "It's delicious. It's weird for me to eat it all by myself. Should we share some with them?"
That's one good thing about Jian Mujin—she's generous and outgoing, and she'll be incredibly lavish with whatever she has!
"Okay, you decide!" After getting Long Tingwei's approval, Jian Mujin grabbed a handful of food from everyone's table, instantly earning many smiles.
Sitting back in her chair, Jian Mujin pointed dismissively at the macadamia nut in Long Tingwei's hand, "Do we really have to crack this shell? Can't we just bite it?"
Long Tingwei looked at her in surprise, "Your teeth are that good? You can bite through them?"
Jian Mujin gave him a disdainful look. "Rich people are so delicate. You peel fruit before you eat it, but I never spit out the peel when I eat!"
Fearing it would widen the gap between them, Long Tingwei said against his will, "I don't spit out the skins when I eat!"
"Tch, you peeled the shrimp last time we ate them!" Jian Mujin pouted.
Long Tingwei couldn't understand, "Don't you peel the shrimp?"
"Hmph, I only ever ask for more of what I buy, I never accept anything less. This kind of thing, the peel is heavier than the fruit, buying it is a waste!"
Many people chuckled secretly. Long Tingwei remained silent for a while, then said, "Alright, since you didn't pay for this fruit anyway, feel free to eat as much as you like!"
Jian Mujin didn't stand on ceremony. She took a bite with her teeth, but it was too much trouble, so she ate the one that Long Tingwei had peeled.
Long Tingwei suddenly asked, "What kind of man do you like?"
Jian Mujin thought Long Tingwei was going to introduce her to someone, and immediately got excited, "I like the kind with a big beard, a strong physique, and a manly vibe! Like the kind of guy in our village who can carry a hoe and work in the fields all day without complaining!"
Long Tingwei stared in surprise, "Why do you like men who work in the fields? If you don't study hard when you're young, you can only work in the fields when you grow up. You can't even support yourself, let alone a woman!"
"Go away, what do you know? Who said that men who work in the fields can't support women? There's a woman in our village who had two pregnancies and five children, and she raised them all just fine. Men who work in the fields are the most honorable, and the sweat that flows from their bodies is the most manly!"
Long Tingwei swallowed hard and asked tentatively, "Then look at me, I have manly charm too!"
All the female employees agreed with this statement.
But Jian Mujin shook her head disdainfully, leaned closer to sniff, and said, "You have a fragrance about you, only the scent of a woman!"
"Holy crap!" Long Tingwei was about to explode. He was a very manly man, okay? And she actually said he had a womanly charm!
After holding back for a moment, Long Tingwei nodded, a wicked smile on his face. "I didn't expect you to like such extreme tastes?"
"What kind of weird taste do you have? And what about you? You're such a noble person, yet you insist on talking to someone as tasteless as me!"
Long Tingwei suddenly leaned closer to her, "Yeah, that's why we're so compatible!"
Everyone in the office was holding back their laughter, trying so hard not to laugh out loud.
"Who would be like you!" Jian Mujin pushed him away and retorted.
"Why are you so reluctant to let me get close to you?" Long Tingwei asked, somewhat dejectedly.
"No, it seems so, maybe, perhaps a little bit, because my friends all say you're rich, handsome, and have good taste, while I have nothing. Standing next to you, I'd just be your foil. You'd be a foil to anyone, so why choose me?"
You're just suited to hanging out with those big TV stars. Oh, no, I think all the women in your company are beautiful and cultured, they're all a good match for you. They're so pleasing to the eye. If I stand next to you, I feel like everyone's staring at me, it makes me feel like I can't even walk properly!
