Chapter 184 At the very least, there needs to be a sense of ritual [51]
Chen Wang's current favorability towards A Chu is 88%.
Achu felt it was time to raise it a bit.
So she cooperated by subtly revealing some of her emotions so that Lin Xiangheng could see them.
Lin Xiangheng took a look and thought, "Hey, this looks promising!"
There's hope for his eldest son!
So Lin Xiangheng pressed on: "Hey, Mianmian, have you ever been in a relationship?"
Achu shook his head.
The original owner did not date, but she did have some suitors.
Lin Xiangheng: Have you ever met a guy you liked?
Achu shook her head again: "I haven't met anyone I like."
Lin Xiangheng: Got it, the young lady has high standards! It's alright, her boss is much better off!
He then asked, "So, what kind of boyfriend do you ideally want?"
Ah Chu thought for a moment before replying, "Hmm~ First of all, he has to be very handsome, tall, at least 1.85 meters. He also has to be very capable and outstanding! He has to be a good person, and he must be the best to me!"
Lin Xiangheng laughed: "Hey! Our boss perfectly fits your criteria for a partner! He's handsome, 1.88 meters tall, very capable and outstanding! He's a good person too! And even better to you!"
Achu opened her eyes wide.
Achu led Little Grey away from Building No. 1.
After Shen Wang returned from meeting with the base chief, he heard that A Chu had come by.
Mentioning Achu, Shen Wang couldn't help but think of what Shen Sui had told him yesterday.
He pursed his lips before asking Lin Xiangheng, "Where did she go now?"
Lin Xiangheng couldn't help but laugh when he recalled how Chu had left in a hurry, her face flushed, dragging Little Grey.
Chen Wang frowned and questioned him with his eyes.
Lin Xiangheng suppressed his smile and replied to Chen Wang, "She probably went home. I saw her enter the building across the street."
Chen Wang: "Then why are you laughing for no reason?"
Lin Xiangheng couldn't help but grin, leaning closer and whispering, "Boss, you have to thank me."
Chen Wang was even more confused: "Thank you for what?"
Lin Xiangheng then recounted his conversation with Achu to Shen Wangting.
Shen Wang never expected that just one morning away, things would turn out so badly...
"So, Mianmian was scared away after hearing what you said? You told her I liked her?"
They guessed that Achu was probably frightened by the fact that he liked her, which is why she fled in panic.
Shen Wang's expression was not very good.
He even wondered if Achu would start avoiding him from then on.
The thought of such a possibility made me feel terrible.
Lin Xiangheng could tell from Shen Wang's expression that he had misunderstood.
"Boss, it's true that Mianmian was scared away, but is it possible that she suddenly realized she likes you and ran away because she was shy?"
Chen Wang paused, unsure: "Is that possible?"
Lin Xiangheng was surprised to see confusion and helplessness in Shen Wang's eyes.
He couldn't help but wonder what it would be like if Shen Wang and A Chu were to fall in love.
Lin Xiangheng decided to give Chen Wang a push: "Whether it's possible or not, go deliver some food to Mianmian later and see how she reacts when she's facing you!"
Shen Wang decided to listen to Lin Xiangheng.
After all, he has a lot of dating experience.
So, Chen Wang went to the kitchen and asked Jiang Shichu to cook a few dishes on his own.
There are some differences between cooking in a large pot and stir-frying.
Jiang Shichu is a good cook, especially when it comes to stir-fries.
After the food was prepared, Chen Wang packed it in an insulated lunchbox and went to the other side of the street.
Standing in front of Achu's house, Chen Wang hesitated for a few seconds before raising his hand to knock on the door.
He has always been a very decisive person and never hesitates.
Shen Wang thought that if A Chu really liked him as Lin Xiangheng said, then he would confess his feelings.
If Achu doesn't like him...
It's okay, he won't allow Ah Chu to be with other men.
With these thoughts in mind, the door opened from the inside.
Achu poked her head out and looked surprised when she saw Chenwang: "Brother Chenwang, what brings you here?"
Chen Wang carefully observed A Chu's expression, and seeing that she seemed normal, he felt somewhat uncertain.
However, no matter what he was thinking, he didn't show it on his face at all.
Shen Wang lifted the insulated lunchbox in his hand and said to A Chu, "I've brought you some food."
Only then did Achu notice what Shen Wang was carrying.
A surprised smile spread across her face: "Wow! How did you know I hadn't eaten yet!"
Achu opened the door and stepped aside to let Chenwang in.
"Brother Chenwang, come in quickly!"
She opened the shoe cabinet, took out a pair of disposable slippers, and had Chen Wang put them on.
While Chen Wang was changing her shoes, she went to take the insulated lunchbox.
Achu: "Brother Chenwang, have you eaten?"
After changing his shoes, Chen Wang came in, his gaze sweeping over the decorations of the entire house, before glancing at the mutated dog, Little Grey, who was still not very friendly to him.
When Achu asked him, he casually replied, "Not yet."
Chen Wang hadn't eaten yet, and thinking about what Lin Xiangheng had said, he had even less appetite to eat.
So when Jiang Shichu finished cooking, he brought the food to Achu.
Seeing that Chen Wang had brought a lot of food, enough for two people, A Chu said, "Let's eat together!"
Shen Wang couldn't bear to refuse the opportunity to have dinner alone with A Chu.
He felt a sense of anticipation. Ah Chu had invited him to dinner, so did that mean Lin Xiangheng was right?
Shen Wang stared intently at A Chu and replied, "Okay."
Achu put the lunchbox on the dining table and then went to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks.
Shen Wang came over to help her.
The two sat down facing each other at the dining table.
Ah Chu picked up some food to eat and then praised Jiang Shichu's cooking skills.
"Jiang Shichu is amazing! It tastes so good!"
Shen Wang was not happy to hear A Chu praising other men.
He blurted out, "If you like to eat, I'll learn to cook from him later."
"Huh?" Achu looked up, staring at Chen Wang in surprise.
Chen Wang: "After that, when we go out of the base to do missions, if conditions permit, I can cook for you."
If Achu is still willing to go out on missions with him.
Achu: "No need, Brother Chenwang. You're so busy, it's too hard for you to find time to learn to cook."
Chen Wang: "It's not hard work."
The two locked eyes, Chen Wang's gaze deep and intense.
Achu seemed to recall her conversation with Lin Xiangheng that morning.
A blush crept onto her cheeks, and her gaze darted away from Chen Wang.
Even if Shen Wang were incredibly stupid, he could tell that A Chu was shy.
A surge of joy welled up inside him, confirming that even if Achu didn't like him, she still had feelings for him.
The words of confession almost slipped out of my mouth.
But Shen Wang felt that such a confession was too casual and perfunctory.
If Achu agreed to be his girlfriend, Shenwang felt that it would be unfair to her.
At the very least, there needs to be a sense of ritual.
Shen Wang thought so.
He planned to ask Lin, the emotional counselor, for his opinion after he returned.
Chen Wang had lunch with A Chu and even washed the dishes before leaving.
Before leaving, he asked Achu if she wanted to go out on a mission with him the next day.
Achu readily agreed.
Chen Wang left in a cheerful mood.
