Chapter 18 Bai Yueguang’s Substitute (18)
Just as he reached out to him, Jiang Lai had already fallen in love with the young man who came to her rescue.
After the hug was over, Jiang Lai distanced himself in time, shook hands with ONE, and left the stage under the envious and jealous eyes of the entire audience.
After winning the championship, all OPK team members were very excited and arranged to have a barbecue together.
A rare opportunity for leisure. Everyone was talking about today's game. Only ONE was sitting in the corner drinking beer silently without saying a word.
"What's wrong today? What are you thinking about? I've been distracted since the end of the game."
The team members grabbed his neck.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"Nothing."
"What else can happen? I must be thinking about that beautiful woman just now!"
Another team member shouted loudly, and when the others heard this, they all came over to gossip.
"That girl is really pretty. It's a pity that she doesn't like me, she only likes ONE!"
ONE frowned and pushed away his teammates.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm just a little tired."
Seeing that something was wrong with him, everyone knew enough not to ask further questions, and went to drink and eat separately.
ONE still lowered his head, he was really thinking about the scene that just happened.
The one on stage was Jiang Lai, so it must be her.
Isn't she Shen Lioyang's lover? Why did you show up at the finals?
Interestingly, she even said that she liked herself. Despite so many others, she chose herself.
Why is this woman still the same as before? She doesn't know her own abilities.
But thinking of this, he subconsciously thought of the hug just now.
The woman smells very fragrant and her body is very soft. When she leans over, she feels like a cat, without any weight at all.
——
After watching the game, Jiang Lai remembered on the way home why he felt that ONE looked familiar.
The rich second generation who hangs out in the same circle as Shen Yu, although they don't have much social contact, they still have a relationship, but they look familiar.
The world is so small. You can meet people from that second-generation circle wherever you go. Tsk, that’s bad luck.
Putting aside these messy memories, Jiang Lai passed by a vegetable market.
He wanted to go directly to a restaurant to have a meal, but when he thought about what day it was, Jiang Lai thought for a moment and turned the steering wheel and drove into the vegetable market.
Back at the villa, I smelled the rich aroma of cake as soon as I entered the door. When I walked into the kitchen, I saw an exquisitely shaped cake already placed on the long marble table. It is the most popular flower style at the moment.
Zhou Min was wearing a white dress, lowering her head while stirring cream, with a strand of hair hanging loosely by her ears. This scene looked very peaceful and elegant. Together with the smell of the cake and the sweetness of the cream, it set off the scene in front of her. The picture is quite pleasing to the eye.
Jiang Lai stood outside and watched for a while, looking at the woman's pretentious posture, and a smile spread across his lips.
Zhou Min calculated the time and turned around, pretending to look up at the kitchen door casually, and then was suddenly startled by the person standing in front of him.
"Jiang, Miss Jiang, you are back."
Jiang Lai casually threw the dishes on the cooking table, then nodded and looked around, finally focusing on the most conspicuous cake.
It can be seen that a lot of thought was put into it and the craftsmanship is also good.
She was the only one in the kitchen that was supposed to be busy. Jiang Lai casually took a piece of white chocolate rose from the cake and asked while eating.
"Where are the others?"
Zhou Min stared at the flowers in Jiang Lai's hand, feeling distressed in her heart. She clenched her hands tightly and her voice was a little nervous.
"They all went out to buy groceries, and I, I used the kitchen to make a cake."
"Well, it tastes good. Have you learned it before?"
With that said, Jiang Lai picked up the little decorative figure from the top of the cake. Unfortunately, it was inedible and looked a bit cheap.
At this moment, Zhou Min's heart was high.
She wished she could chop off Jiang Lai's dishonest hand, but at this moment she was too guilty and could only endure it even if she was dissatisfied.
"Well, I have studied for several years."
"It tastes good. I happened to be short of cake tonight, so I saved the money and bought it."
After speaking, Jiang Lai waved towards Zhou Min.
"Okay, let's go. You can get off work early today."
"Ah, why?"
Jiang Lai looked at her with a gentle smile, but his eyes were cold.
"Isn't it bad to leave work early? Why should I ask?"
"No, that's not what I meant. I just think it's not good to leave work early on the first day..."
Jiang Lai raised his eyebrows.
"Okay, whatever you want, you can just help me out."
Zhou Min was startled and looked at Jiang Lai, wondering if she was really stupid or pretending to be stupid.
For the next hour or so, she was really being commanded by Jiang Lai, peeling garlic and chopping vegetables. He watched her busy preparing a table full of home-cooked dishes, such as stewed tofu with green onions, stir-fried peppers with eggs, The last thing I cooked was a mediocre pork ribs and winter melon soup, without even adding ginseng or cordyceps.
"Ms. Jiang, you don't actually have to do this yourself."
Jiang Lai put the last big plate of chicken on the table, sat on his hips and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I quite like cooking."
Zhou Min stopped talking. She just felt that Jiang Lai didn't look reserved or elegant at all. No wonder Master Shen Yu, who came here this afternoon, said that she was not worthy of the stage.
Suddenly, there was a sound of the door opening outside, and you could tell from the steady and powerful footsteps that Shen Liao was back.
Zhou Min's eyes lit up and he almost became more excited than Jiang Lai.
"Mr. Shen is back. I will prepare the dishes and chopsticks."
Jiang Lai watched her hustle and bustle without saying anything. He took off his apron and walked softly and slowly behind Shen Liao. When he bent down to change his shoes, he rushed forward and reached out to cover her. his eyes.
Shen Liao subconsciously grabbed Jiang Lai's wrist, and before exerting force, she suddenly smelled the familiar smell, the faint aroma of shower gel, mixed with a bit of onion, ginger, and garlic.
He sighed helplessly.
"What to do?"
"Guess what day it is!"
Shen Liao thought carefully.
"Independence Day of the Abolition of Feudalism in France."
"..."
Jiang Lai dropped his face, let go of his hand, and remained silent.
Shen Liao was finally able to straighten her back and turned around to look at her, and then saw the little girl's face looking lost and unhappy.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you really not know what day today is?"
Shen Liao frowned. At this time, the secretary who had been standing outside without daring to say anything whispered.
"Boss, today is Valentine's Day."
When Shen Liao heard this, before she could say anything, Jiang Lai snorted and turned away, still mumbling.
"This is our first Valentine's Day since we got together..."
Shen Liao strode up to follow her, feeling a little guilty and uneasy for no reason, but she couldn't say anything. She could only watch Jiang Lai's back silently and follow her to the kitchen.
"Forget it, I don't know this time, just remember next time. Come and eat." (End of Chapter)
