Chapter 179 179 So you are not confident?
It was not until he stood in front of her that Jiang Lili came back to her senses little by little. She let him take the things in her hand, and then she slowly looked up at the person in front of her. It seemed that from the beginning until now, he was the one who walked towards her every time.
"What's wrong?" Seeing her staring at him without saying anything, Lu Hongzhe was a little puzzled.
Jiang Lili shook her head: "Nothing, I just thought you looked so handsome when you walked over to me just now!"
"Really?" Lu Hongzhe was amused by her words. Although he knew this was probably just an excuse, he was still somewhat pleased. After all, this was the first time she had praised him. Realizing this, Lu Hongzhe slightly restrained his smile. He seemed a little childish, actually caring about this?
"Of course, I never lie." Jiang Lili said sincerely. She really felt that he was so handsome the way he walked along just now, and he was walking into her heart step by step.
"Is there a reward?" Lu Hongzhe's eyes seemed to accidentally sweep across her red lips while speaking.
It was clearly just a glance, but Jiang Lili could feel the warmth on his lips. They both knew what he meant by reward. She was a little annoyed that she was still shy about this matter. So she deliberately raised her head to look him up and down. Finally, she said nonchalantly, "We'll see how you perform next."
A soft laugh echoed in her ears. This wasn't the first time Jiang Lili realized how beautiful his voice was, but she was still captivated by him every time. "Okay, I'll definitely perform well next time."
She didn't know if it was her imagination, but he emphasized the last two words. The heat on her face rose again, so she urged him, "Go back first!"
"It's summer vacation now, is Youbei going to start its official business?" Joking aside, we must not forget the serious business.
"Yes, we will open for business directly after the inspection process is completed. This report can be regarded as a disguised publicity for Youbei." After all, they passed all the inspections.
"If you need me, just call me directly." Lu Hongzhe said as he lowered his head to fasten his seat belt.
"We've simulated operations many times, so there shouldn't be any problems." You know, all of Uberly's employees are hired with high salaries. If something goes wrong at any time, it would be a shame to not get the high salaries they receive.
"In that case, you don't have to watch over there all day during the summer vacation? What are your plans for the summer vacation?" Lu Hongzhe asked.
"I should go over and keep an eye on it during the first few days of opening. I haven't thought about the arrangements after that." Jiang Lili shook her head. She currently has no plans for the future.
"When you make a plan, don't forget to include me in it," Lu Hongzhe reminded.
Jiang Lili couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "Don't you have to go to work?"
"I haven't taken any annual leave in the past few years," Lu Hongzhe explained to her.
"Okay, if there are new plans, I will definitely not forget you." Jiang Lili agreed with a smile, but lowered her head to ask the decoration team on the progress of the new Baby Paradise store on her mobile phone.
"I'll take you upstairs directly." Lu Hongzhe carried her small luggage.
"That's fine." Anyway, everyone in the family knows about it now, so there's really no need to hide anymore.
At this time, Jiang Yulan was still in the factory. After Jiang Lili opened the door and entered the house, they were the only two at home. Lu Hongzhe's eyes fell on the bag he was carrying for her and asked softly, "Can I take it back to your room for you?"
"Just put it over there." Jiang Lili pointed to the balcony. All the things she brought back needed to be washed.
"Okay." He took a long step and quickly put the things on the balcony. Then he looked up and slowly looked around the whole house. The last time he looked at the decoration in the room like this was when it was just completed. Probably because he was moving in now, he felt that the overall look was a lot warmer than before.
"Would you like something to drink?" Jiang Lili opened the refrigerator and asked him.
"Just plain water is fine." Compared to various drinks, Lu Hongzhe prefers plain water.
The two of them sat on the sofa, each drinking the water in their hands. They said nothing and did nothing, but there was a faint warmth floating in the air.
"How about we eat here later?" Jiang Lili thought that he would be too lazy to cook if he went back alone, so it would be better to eat here together.
"Will Aunt Jiang be unhappy if I stay?" Lu Hongzhe asked hesitantly.
"No, I'll go see what ingredients are in the refrigerator first, so that my mother can have dinner as soon as she gets home today." Jiang Lili said as she stood up to check the ingredients in the refrigerator.
Probably because Jiang Lili was at school this week and Jiang Yulan rarely cooked, the only ingredients left in the refrigerator were tomatoes and eggs. Jiang Lili was dumbfounded, and then asked uncertainly, "How about tomato and egg noodles later?"
"I have a lot of food at home. Shall we go downstairs and get it?" Lu Hongzhe asked for her opinion.
"Okay, let's go now?" Jiang Lili glanced at the watch on her wrist while speaking. If they delayed any longer in the afternoon, Jiang Yulan would not be able to eat ready-made meals when she came back.
"Well, let's go." Lu Hongzhe said and turned around to go downstairs first. Back to his own area, he relaxed completely. Looking at Jiang Lili picking out ingredients from the refrigerator, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
"These should be enough, let's go." Jiang Lili selected the ingredients and looked at the person behind her, but saw him walking towards her. She couldn't help but feel a little nervous: "What's wrong?"
Lu Hongzhe leaned over and pressed his forehead against hers, his tone full of tenderness: "Lili, is it time to reward me now?"
Their foreheads were pressed against each other, and they could clearly feel the heat of each other's breath. Jiang Lili felt that if they were a little closer, their cheeks would be touching, and she only needed to move forward slightly to kiss his lips. Not only did she think so, she also did it. She also planned to leave as soon as she touched and left like before, but the man in front of her seemed to have been prepared. When she was about to withdraw, he reached out and grabbed the back of her head, and then nibbled her lips bit by bit.
Jiang Lili didn't know how long the kiss lasted. He only let go of her when she felt she was almost out of breath. Then she took a deep breath of fresh air. She could even think of the novels she had read before. It turned out that novels were not all lies. At least this part was very real.
Lu Hongzhe also gasped for breath. It was not until Jiang Lili regained her breath that she heard her scolding voice: "Lu Hongzhe, you broke the rules."
"Well, I broke the rules. I'll be more careful next time, okay?" Although he said this, he was thinking in his mind that he would probably make the same choice next time as today.
Jiang Lili was about to say something, but when she saw the clock on the wall, she snorted coldly, "Let's forget about it today. I'll settle the score with you next time."
"Okay, thank you, Boss Jiang, for your magnanimity. Now it's time for us to cook." He also noticed the time on the wall clock.
The two were busy in the kitchen, but their minds were simultaneously filled with the recollection of the kiss they had just had. Compared to the previous light kisses, this was the first time they had been so intimate.
Both of them were a little absent-minded. Jiang Lili even threw the picked vegetable leaves into the trash can. Lu Hongzhe was not much better. He cut the original meat slices into shreds. It was not until the sound of the door being pushed open outside that the two of them regained their senses. Jiang Lili hurriedly squatted down and picked up the discarded vegetable leaves.
As soon as Jiang Yulan opened the door, she saw two people busy in the kitchen. She was a little surprised: "Hongzhe, you are not working today?"
"Yes, I didn't go there after I picked up Lili." Lu Hongzhe explained.
Jiang Yulan nodded in understanding, then looked at the two people busy in the kitchen and asked with a smile, "Are you cooking?"
"Yes, I originally wanted to say that you could have dinner when you came back, but unfortunately I didn't make it in time." Jiang Lili felt a little guilty at the end. If they hadn't been delayed in this way or that way, the time should have been just right.
"That's okay. I'm not hungry yet. You guys do it first. I'll go change my clothes." Jiang Yulan said and went to her room.
At this time, the two people in the kitchen had no time to daydream and they all got busy. In less than half an hour, three dishes and a soup were ready.
"Hongzhe's cooking skills are getting better and better." Jiang Yulan praised with a smile. She had just clearly seen that these dishes were all cooked by Lu Hongzhe.
"Aunt Jiang, as long as you like it." Lu Hongzhe had no choice but to learn cooking before, but now he likes cooking. Every time he sees her eating with a satisfied look on her face, he feels a sense of accomplishment. Just like at this moment, when he looked at Jiang Lili with a smile in his eyes that he himself did not notice. Jiang Yulan opposite him glanced at him and quickly retracted her gaze.
After dinner, Jiang Yulan took the initiative to go to the kitchen to clear the dishes, leaving the living room for the two of them. The TV was playing the hottest drama of the moment, but it was clear that neither of them was paying attention to it. Compared to before Jiang Yulan came back, the distance between them on the sofa was wide enough for another person to sit. Thinking of how he wanted to stick to her before Jiang Yulan came back, Jiang Lili couldn't help but laugh.
Glancing at his serious expression as he sat upright, Jiang Lili was afraid that he was too tense, so she stood up and said to the person busy in the kitchen, "Mom, let's go downstairs and take a walk to help digest the food."
"Go ahead, just don't come back too late." Jiang Yulan looked back at the two of them.
"I know." After saying that, she looked at the person who was still sitting upright on the sofa and said, "Let's go!"
"I'll be right there." Lu Hongzhe glanced towards the kitchen when he left, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Jiang Yulan had no other reaction.
"What's with that expression on your face? It wasn't like that when you kissed me just now." Jiang Lili looked at him with some dissatisfaction.
Although he was already at the stairs, Lu Hongzhe still turned back to make sure Jiang Yulan couldn't hear what he said.
His sudden relief made Jiang Lili laugh. She smiled and asked, "Why, are you so afraid of my mom?"
"I'm not afraid, I'm worried that if I act too frivolously, Aunt Jiang won't let you and I go out next time." Lu Hongzhe explained seriously.
"Don't worry, you are the best in the eyes of my mom and others." There was a hint of lemon in Jiang Lili's tone that she didn't even know about. Although she had been the child of other people's family in the eyes of those people since she was a child, everyone's tone when mentioning Lu Hongzhe was even more praising.
"Really?" Lu Hongzhe's tone was full of surprise.
"Of course, don't worry, my mom and grandpa are very satisfied with you." After saying this, Jiang Yulan realized something. She looked at the person in front of her in surprise: "So, are you not confident?"
