Chapter 441 The Only Man



The feeling of boating on the lake in the rain is different from that in the sunshine.

She pedaled the pedal boat and let the white swan-shaped boat stop in the center of the lake.

The sounds of raindrops falling on the boat are rhythmic, and the sounds they make are slightly different when they fall on different parts of the boat, like a symphony in the rain.

I took out my cell phone, took a few photos of the rain around me, and posted them on WeChat Moments.

Soon, likes and comments came in.

The number of likes quickly exceeded 100.

Among them, Chen Suisui's comments were the most noisy.

Before Jiang Li could reply, her video call popped up.

"It's rare to go out in the rain." Chen Suisui sat in the luxurious living room, eating plump cherries that were so purple they looked black. "Doesn't it seem too damp?"

As a good friend, Chen Suisui knew that Jiang Li didn't like getting wet in the rain.

Jiang Li watched the video and saw that she looked very good, so he felt relieved.

"On a whim, I wanted to go camping."

Chen Suisui raised an eyebrow, "Where is it, I..."

"Pregnant women should stop doing this." Jiang Li interrupted her before she could finish, "If something happens, losing the child is one thing, but the most important thing is that it will hurt your body."

Compared to the child, Jiang Li cares more about Chen Suisui herself.

Chen Suisui in the video was very happy, "You are indeed my good sister. Let's go shopping when we have time. I want to go to the maternity and baby store to have a look."

"Okay." Jiang Li turned the camera around and let her appreciate the surrounding scenery. "How are you feeling recently?"

"The morning sickness symptoms are gone, and I eat well and sleep well." After saying that, she changed the subject and said, "I can't say I sleep well. My belly is bigger, so my sleep is definitely not as good as before. Subconsciously, I am more or less worried."

The camera moved down to capture her bulging pregnant belly. "It's quite boring. I'll only have this one child in my life to prove that I'm healthy. I don't care whether it's a boy or a girl."

These days, both men and women can inherit the family business.

There are many female heirs in the business circle.

Moreover, many heirs of business tycoons are daughters.

Chen Suisui is also a strong woman herself, and she never thinks that women are inferior to men.

All the external denigration of women is a plunder of resources, and is nothing more than a diversion of attention and a shift in concepts.

At Mingjing Company, she never felt that she was inferior to any of her colleagues.

"Aren't you going to work today?" Jiang Li asked.

"It's time to get off work. I'm pregnant. The company's system in this regard is very good and I don't have to work overtime." She is also an employee of the company, and even as a senior executive, she enjoys such benefits.

The two chatted about this and that until it was completely dark.

The lights in the campsite also lit up one by one, and Jiang Li pedaled towards the shore.

"No more chatting, I'm going to have dinner."

She waved over there and said, "See you another day."

Chen Suisui nodded. "It's raining heavily outside. What should we eat?"

"Hot pot." Jiang Li said and hung up.

On the other side, Chen Suisui heard this and looked at the kitchen again.

Then he stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the rain outside.

This kind of weather is indeed suitable for camping, with no wind.

"Sister Lan, let's have hot pot tonight."

Sister Lan came out of the kitchen. She was a middle-aged woman with a good appearance and was very neatly dressed.

"Okay, Madam, are there any dietary restrictions?" Sister Lan was a professional, and since Shi Jing paid her so much, she didn't care about being called her employer.

Of course, the title of Madam was used by Shi Jing.

When he first saw Chen Suisui moving here, Shi Jing told him that this was his wife.

Chen Suisui shook his head: "No, prepare some Gongcai and Zhe Ergen. You don't need too much Gongcai. Shi Jing doesn't eat this."

After that, he added, "It would be better to make me a plate of cold-mixed zheergen, with medium spiciness."

Sister Lan smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll go get ready."

I don’t have any Houttuynia cordata at home, so I have to call someone to send it over.

Chen Suisui walked back to the sofa easily, lay down, and sent a message to Shi Jing.

**

The hot pot is boiling, emitting the tempting aroma of red oil.

Even if you don’t like the dampness of rain, a mouthful of hot lamb shanks will almost certainly dispel the sticky dampness.

Si Ming opened a can of ice-cold beer and handed it to Jiang Li.

"It's ice cold, drink less."

As for beer, Jiang Li always drinks it chilled all year round.

She said beer tastes bad at room temperature, but it is heavenly when it is chilled.

Si Ming didn't know the difference between immortal and ordinary products. Only when he was with Jiang Li could he relax and drink some.

At all the cocktail parties I attended before, I just took a few sips.

Given his wealth and status, others did not dare to urge him to drink, and most of them hoped to cooperate with the Diyuan Group.

Everyone in the circle knows that when it comes to cooperating with Diyuan Group, it doesn’t matter whether you can drink or not, it only matters whether your project can catch Si Ming’s eye and whether he feels that they can achieve win-win cooperation and make money.

The two of them clinked their cans.

Jiang Li took two sips and sighed with satisfaction.

"Pig brain, pig brain, it tastes the best right now." She picked up a piece and put it in the oil dish. She took a bite and squinted her eyes in satisfaction. "Absolutely delicious."

Si Ming smiled and said, "This pig was still alive this morning."

Jiang Li gave him a thumbs-up and said, "The soup base tastes great too. Whose is it?"

"I asked someone to buy it from the store according to your preferences." Si Ming said, "If you like it, I'll ask someone to stock up on more for you so you can eat it at home."

Jiang Li naturally nodded in agreement.

"This is almost there." Si Ming pointed at the mushrooms at the bottom of the tomato pot in the middle.

Jiang Li waved his hand, "I don't really like mushrooms."

There are other ingredients, and mushrooms are naturally not within her consideration.

I can eat it, I don’t hate it, but I don’t like it either.

Si Ming took note and added tribute vegetables and yellow and white cabbage hearts to her meal.

"Bitter melon." Jiang Li ordered Si Ming around without any pressure.

There was only one man beside her, Si Ming.

Now that she has come close to him and made Jiang Li interested in her, she will never be able to leave him in this life.

She is not a delicate woman who waits for a man to love her.

As for Si Ming.

What he liked was nothing more than being "needed" by Jiang Li.

When I glanced over, I saw someone setting up a tent in the rain not far away.

Another person was filming with a mobile phone.

Occasionally I hear some chattering sounds over there, which should be a live broadcast.

Occasionally, the other party will change direction, and the surrounding scenery should be taken in.

Because of the rain, visibility was not very high, but Jiang Li didn't care.

"Give."

Si Ming placed the small octopus into her bowl, "Now is the perfect time."

Jiang Li looked at the plump, white and tender oysters lying on their shells next to him.

"Try one raw."

Si Ming: “…”

He took the sauce, added two drops of lemon, and handed it to her.

Jiang Li took a sip and savored it for a few seconds.

“It tastes pretty good.”

It has a sweet and fresh taste, and of course, a slight fishy smell.

It’s not heavy, at least she likes it.
