The two drove to a nearby supermarket. All the ingredients were picked by Zhou Qian. It was obvious that he was determined to rip someone off.
King crab, tiger crab, Australian blue dragon, no mercy.
When checking out, Zhou Qian took a deep breath when he saw the five-digit total price. He felt a little guilty and worried that he couldn't afford it.
As a result, the next second, she was slapped in the face with a loud bang.
Lu Jing took out a black card and handed it over. Zhou Qian stared at the black card with his eyes as big as fists. Could it be the legendary black card with no upper limit on the credit limit?
Zhou Qian suddenly turned around and looked at Lu Jing. Could this guy be the invisible dark horse?
Lu Jing seemed not to notice Tianma Xingkong's expression, and calmly took two boxes of small things from the shelf and threw them to the cashier.
The cashier was a young girl. When she saw the things, she looked up at Zhou Qian first, then glanced at Lu Jing. Seeing that Lu Jing was also looking at her, the cashier's face turned red.
Zhou Qian realized something was wrong later. She took a closer look at what the cashier was holding in his hand, and it was her turn to blush from head to toe.
But the person who should be the most embarrassed was standing there as calm as a mountain.
After paying the bill, Zhou Qian wanted to help carry the things, but Lu Jing didn't ask her to. He carried two big bags and followed behind Zhou Qian.
After getting in the car, Zhou Qian asked him, "You already have some at home, why did you buy more?"
"What?" Lu Jing asked knowingly.
"You know what's going on."
Lu Jing chuckled, "Just stock up on the way. It won't take more than a few days anyway."
"..." Zhou Qian seemed to have imagined the lewd nightlife, and her face flushed and her heart beat fast.
When they got home, because they were all seafood and difficult to prepare, Lu Jing pushed Zhou Qian into the study to draw her drawings and cooked by himself.
He hadn't figured out how to talk to Zhou Qian about his background, and he was even more unsure whether she would be happy or resistant about it.
As soon as Zhou Qian finished drawing the design, he smelled the fresh aroma of seafood. Several dishes of prepared seafood were already placed on the table.
The king crab comes in two flavors, half steamed and half with garlic, which makes people drool just by looking at it.
Zhou Qian couldn't help but steal a piece to taste, but before he could even get his hand on it, he was slapped back.
"Go wash your hands first." Lu Jing came out with a plate of braised chicken feet.
Zhou Qian curled her lips and went to wash her hands obediently.
During the meal, Zhou Qian suggested, "I can't live here for free. Why don't you rent me the second bedroom and I'll cover the water and electricity bills."
"Does it have to be so clear?"
"Of course, it's better to make things clear before getting married, so that if we break up in the future, you won't have to ask me for everything, which is disgusting."
Lu Jing sneered with a dark face, "Since you say so, then let's divide it."
Lu Jing put down his chopsticks, picked up his phone, and began to calculate, "The second bedroom will cost you 5,000 yuan a month. Water and gas will each cost 1,000 yuan a month. As for electricity, since it's heating season now, it'll be at least 3,000 yuan a month. Property management fees will be 10,000 yuan a month. As for meeting our physical needs... considering our respective needs, I'll take a small loss and not charge you."
"A total of 20,000 per month."
Zhou Qian: “…”
Her basic monthly salary couldn't even be that high, yet he dared to ask for it.
"I want to rent you a bedroom of more than 30 square meters for 5,000 yuan?" Her previous apartment was only 3,000 yuan, and it was independent and relatively large.
"A location worth 100,000 yuan per square meter, and I'm renting 30 square meters to you for 5,000 yuan. What else do you want?"
Zhou Qian took a deep breath and said, "I'll bear it."
"What about the 1,000 yuan monthly water bill? Did you know that 1,000 yuan could build two large fish ponds?"
"First of all, the water used here is all drinking water, and secondly..."
At this point, Lu Jing's eyes became coquettish. "With our combat power, taking a shower eight or ten times a day is common. A thousand yuan for water isn't too much, right?"
Zhou Qian pressed the corner of his mouth, not knowing how to describe his shamelessness, and kicked him directly under the table, "Just go and rob someone."
As for the electricity and property fees, she didn't argue because he had something to say to her anyway.
"Are you still breaking up?" Lu Jing looked at her straightly with a smile, "If not, then you can sleep in my room tonight."
Before, he always slept in her room.
Zhou Qian pursed her lips tightly, and keeping silent was her last act of stubbornness.
…
After dinner, Lu Jing received a call from Mr. Liang, saying that Zhou Qian’s parents had returned to China and hoped to do an appraisal tomorrow.
Lu Jing was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window holding his cell phone. Upon hearing this, he turned around and glanced at Zhou Qian who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, his dark eyes filled with thought.
Finally, he agreed.
He also wanted to finalize this matter as soon as possible, but in order not to make Zhou Qian anxious, he decided to wait until the test results came out before telling her.
The next day, Lu Jing brought Zhou Qian to the Liang family and met the Liang family.
Mr. Liang’s son, Liang Hui, looks to be in his forties. He wears a well-fitting suit and a pair of glasses. He gives people a gentle and elegant impression. At first glance, he is a successful person who is knowledgeable and well-educated.
Liang Hui's wife Liu Yalu also has an extraordinary temperament. Even though she is in her forties, she has been very well maintained and her age is not visible at all.
Several people sat in the courtyard, warming themselves by the fire and chatting. Although Liang Hui and his wife looked serious, they were very casual in their communication.
Zhou Qian didn't know if it was his own illusion, but he always felt that Liu Yalu looked at him a little strangely. Logically speaking, with Liu Yalu's manners, she shouldn't be so rude as to stare at someone she met for the first time.
The few of them chatted until lunch, and Zhou Qian inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
She deliberately fell behind, and seeing this, Lu Jing also slowed down and waited for her to catch up.
"What's wrong?" Lu Jing asked.
Zhou Qian didn't know what to say, so he just shook his head and said, "Nothing."
"Mrs. Liang should like you very much." Lu Jing actually knew what she was thinking, but she didn't want to say it, so he helped her say it.
Zhou Qian looked at him in surprise, "You also noticed that she was looking at me?"
"Maybe there's a connection."
Zhou Qian frowned, "But I feel so uncomfortable."
"You'll get used to it slowly."
Zhou Qian was stunned and looked at him doubtfully, "Get used to it slowly?"
"You have to get used to other people being nice to you."
“???”
Zhou Qian was bewildered. Was he drunk on tea? Did he want her to get used to a stranger being nice to her?
…
During the meal, Liang Hui and his wife, including Mr. Liang, were very enthusiastic in serving food to Zhou Qian, so much so that Zhou Qian didn't even pick up his chopsticks for the entire meal, and the plate in front of him was still piled high.
I can’t finish it. I can’t finish it at all.
Zhou Qian was caught off guard by this sudden favor.
In the end, Lu Jing rescued her.
"Uncle Liang and Auntie can eat by themselves. She has a small appetite, so don't waste it."
Zhou Qian gave Lu Jing a grateful look. If the occasion wasn't inappropriate, she would have given him a big kiss.
