Chapter 5 Chapter 5 The fight with my "fiancé"...
As if she had a premonition, she looked up at the door of the living room, only to see that the originally tightly closed door had cracked open at an angle, and a tall and straight man in black clothes, with cold eyes and a strong and cold aura walked in.
This was the third time she saw her fiancé. Lin Keying's heart suddenly moved, and she felt relieved only after putting the money back into her pocket.
Compared to the previous two times when he was cold and distant, but still had some grace, today's fiancé seemed extremely unhappy. His face was not wrinkled, but he was intimidating without anger, and he radiated coldness to all around indiscriminately.
Although it was a hot summer night, Lin Keying felt a little cold.
Especially, there was something wrong with the look in her fiancé's eyes. He just stared at her, as if saying that she was redundant and very annoying.
Lin Keying couldn't help swallowing her saliva. She saw the man walking towards her with a gust of wind, his eyes still fixed on her. She didn't know whether his gaze was on her, or on the mung bean paste and mugwort glutinous rice cake.
Could it be that he...
Lin Keying pushed the food on the table forward, staring at the man with her bright and soft eyes, feeling a little reluctant: "Master, would you like to eat green bean paste and mugwort glutinous rice cake?"
She was just being polite, so her fiancé probably wouldn't take it seriously.
After all, no matter how you look at him, he doesn't look like the kind of person who would eat sweets and snacks.
The man in front of her was silent for a long time. Lin Keying's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if two small brushes were flashing, and a hint of joy appeared in her clear eyes.
He should not eat it.
The edge of the green bean soup bowl that had just been pushed over was pinched by the woman's slender white fingertips, and was about to be taken back...
The man suddenly spoke in a low and simple voice: "Yeah."
Lin Keying: “…?”
With tears in her eyes, she watched as the expressionless man devoured the only bowl of mung bean soup. Even the only remaining mugwort glutinous rice cake was picked up by the bony hands holding chopsticks, put into his mouth, and chewed slowly.
The familiar fragrance spread from Cheng Wanting's mouth. He hadn't tasted the flavor from the mainland for a long time since his mother passed away.
He had an argument with his father at the company in the morning and rejected his proposal to marry his father to the daughter of Jardine Matheson's director Li. In the afternoon, he drove to the cemetery alone to pay tribute to his mother. Cheng Wanting stood in front of the tombstone for a long time, looking at the picture of a young girl wearing a floral dress and pigtails. That was the first picture taken of his mother when she just came to Hong Kong from the mainland.
In a trance, he returned to the villa halfway up the mountain and opened the door. He saw the woman who was also wearing floral clothes and had a pigtail, asking him if she wanted to eat.
Cheng Wanting, who had not eaten for a day, had no appetite, but he still ate up the mung bean paste and mugwort glutinous rice cakes, as if he was surrounded by familiar tastes.
Lin Keying looked at the food that had been completely eaten up by the man, her heart bleeding. Was this too much? Nothing left?
The man got up and left after finishing his meal. His broad back paused for a moment as he walked up the stairs. “There will be a ship to the mainland in a while. I’ll give you some extra money when you go back. Four hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars.”
Lin Keying:! ! !
There is such a good thing!
My fiancé, it doesn’t seem too much that you ate all the food by yourself!
++++
Ever since she discovered that showing goodwill with food could advance the plot, Lam Keying has become obsessed with making some snacks for her fiancé.
However, her fiancé seldom came to the Mid-Levels Villa, presumably because he was busy with his career. She understood this, so she asked Secretary Yang through Mrs. Hua and Uncle Zhong.
After all, as a child bride, she should express her love and affection to her fiancé, otherwise how could she make him upset and angrily spend one million Hong Kong dollars to cancel the engagement like in the original book?
Mrs. Hua and Uncle Zhong looked at the Liangnong cake made by Miss Lin, listened to her gestures with her hands, and saw the three traditional Chinese characters "Young Master" written on the newspaper, and they couldn't help but look at each other.
Oh my, Miss Lin really wants to express her love to the young master!
The two of them seemed to have something in their eyes, and looked like they understood everything.
Mrs. Hua used the living room phone to call Secretary Yang. Amid the beeping waiting tone, she tried to comfort Lin Keying in rather plastic Mandarin: "Ms. Lin, our eldest young master will most likely not agree to it. He has this temper. You don't have to be sad."
Mrs. Hua is not talking nonsense. The Cheng family is among the top ten richest families in Hong Kong. In addition, Cheng Wanting is the youngest person in charge. There are many wealthy and powerful officials who are eyeing him and want to win him over to be their son-in-law. There is an endless stream of admirers who fall in love with him because of his heroic appearance.
But the eldest young master avoided her to the point of being ruthless. He was completely focused on business, from shipping to shopping malls and buildings to real estate. He helped the Cheng family to a high position, but there was not even a shadow of a woman around him.
Lin Keying struggled to discern Hua Sao's words of comfort, her heart was calm and she wrote with a smile - It's okay, this is my heartfelt condolence.
Uncle Zhong and Mrs. Hua sighed at the same time, what a silly girl.
How could they not understand their own young master?
As expected, after receiving the call, Secretary Yang politely declined Mrs. Hua's request that Miss Lin send soup to the young master, and said in a businesslike manner: "Mrs. Hua, the young master has been very busy recently. He has no time for tea or meals, let alone soup."
Mrs. Hua hung up the phone and waved at Lin Keying, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Lin Keying suppressed the curve of her lips, squeezed out a bit of sadness, and lowered her brows.
Just thinking about expressing her love was annoying, and once or twice was never enough. Later, she called Secretary Yang herself and asked if she could send soup, sugar water, cakes and snacks to the young master.
Secretary Yang initially thought that Miss Lin wanted to express her gratitude to the young master, but after the first, second, third and fourth times, his expression became a little strange when he received the call.
Miss Lin is Young Master Chen's child bride. Even if the engagement is about to be cancelled, she shouldn't be so attentive to her own eldest master.
Cheng Wanting had just signed the shipping contract for the second half of the year for the Universal Shipping Group. The Cheng family now controls half of the shipping market in Hong Kong, competing against the British-controlled Ocean Shipping Group.
All kinds of exported textiles, rubber products and electronic products are mostly transported by sea and land, either in cooperation with Chengjia or on the ships of the British Ocean Shipping Group. Since the Cheng family is in charge of important transportation channels, they have more or less connections with all major group companies and their position is extremely important.
When flipping through the next document, Cheng Wanting looked up at his secretary Yang Minghui, who was hesitant to speak: "What's wrong?"
"Master." Yang Minghui carefully worded, "Miss Lin has called me every day at noon these days, saying..."
"What?" Cheng Wanting recalled a pair of clear and sharp eyes.
"He said he wanted to send you something to eat." Secretary Yang's heart was beating fast. What on earth was this?
I'm afraid Miss Lin is crazy.
Cheng Wanting paused holding the pen, then continued signing as usual: "How is Liu Zhigao doing?"
Secretary Yang was surprised when the young master suddenly asked about Wharf. After a second of hesitation, he quickly replied, "The two sides are at a stalemate. I heard that Jardine Matheson is going to intervene to mediate."
"Yes." Cheng Wanting signed and put the cap on the pen. Thinking of the stocks he secretly bought before the Wharf's stock price soared, he said confidently, "Let them fight and talk first. We will wait behind. After a few days, we can spread the news to Tianxing Real Estate and say that Huanyu is also interested in Wharf."
"I understand." Secretary Yang has been with Cheng Wanting for many years, so he naturally understands the young master's temperament. As long as it is something he wants to get, he will never fail to get it.
After discussing work, Secretary Yang was about to leave the general manager's office, but after turning around, she heard the eldest young master speak.
"Confirm the ship that will be heading to the mainland in half a month and send Miss Lin away."
"Yes." Secretary Yang suppressed the gossip in his mind and sighed that the young master was still so resolute. Once someone around him showed a little admiration and attentiveness towards him, he would push that person away without hesitation and would not give them the slightest chance to get close.
Especially since Miss Lin is the child bride of the eldest young master's cousin, it is even more ridiculous!
......
Secretary Yang just thought that the young master would not meet Miss Lin again, but she didn't expect that her belief would be broken the next day.
As usual, Lin Keying called Secretary Yang at noon every day. She was no longer serious about it. She still made the calls and expressed her feelings, but she didn't prepare any food or drinks at all.
It will be rejected anyway.
After the beeping sound, Lin Keying spoke with ease: "Secretary Yang, is the young master free today? I saw that the sun was too hot today, so I made some sweet soup for the young master to cool him down."
According to the developments of the past few days, Secretary Yang would righteously reject Lin Keying's request and advise her not to bother preparing food. If Lin Keying continues to be "obstinate", her fiancé will become impatient and wish to get rid of this child bride who is obsessed with him.
But this time, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. Lin Keying twisted the phone line with her slender fingers and spoke crisply: "Secretary Yang...?"
"Then please deliver it to the 32nd floor of Huanyu Building."
Lin Keying: “…?”
The strange yet slightly familiar low voice on the other end of the phone, could it be that fiancé!
Don’t you refuse every day? Why did you agree today?
At this moment, Lin Keying was surrounded by nothing, it was just like a dream.
She left her villa in Mid-Levels in a hurry and went to Mrs. He's dessert stall to pack a portion of iced green bean paste and curry fish balls. Lin Keying arrived at the Central Plaza cursing in her heart.
