Chapter 19 Bai Yueguang’s Substitute (19)
"You did all this?"
Jiang Lai nodded and continued to prepare things in the kitchen. In the huge Chinese and Western kitchen, she was like a little bee, mumbling and moving.
Shen Liao stood at the table and looked at Jiang Lai quietly. Smelling the faint aroma of rice on the dining table, an inexplicable warmth filled her chest.
It had been too long since he had experienced such vivid and beautiful scenes. He had never paid attention to these things since his mother died of a serious illness.
For the first time, this empty villa made him feel like "home".
"Stop standing here, come on, change your clothes and go eat."
Jiang Lai didn't seem to care at all about Shen Liao forgetting Valentine's Day. After that brief loss, she returned to the talkative and sunny girl she usually was.
Biting his chopsticks, Jiang Lai handed his hand to Shen Liao and complained softly.
"In order to cook for you, the pot burned my hand."
Shen Liao held her hand, lowered her head and took a closer look. Sure enough, there was a red mark the size of a mung bean on the pad of her thumb, which made the already slender and tender fingers look more broken and beautiful.
Shen Liao's heart moved slightly, and without even thinking about it, she lowered her head and kissed Jiang Lai's fingertips gently.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Lai's old face turned red.
She admitted that she had just been attracted by this handsome man.
Obviously, Shen Liao did not expect that he would make this move, but he was quite magnanimous. After realizing his intention, he did not continue to hold it, but asked the servant to bring burn ointment and apply it on her personally.
"Don't cook next time."
"You haven't eaten yet. Maybe after eating, you just want to eat the food I cooked."
Shen Liao rubbed her palm, feeling the smoothness and softness under her fingertips, and couldn't help but sigh that this woman was delicate and fragile.
"Okay, I will replenish the gift for you. Let's eat first."
"Cut..."
Jiang Lai retracted his hand and was full after taking two bites. Then he put down his chopsticks and watched Shen Liao eat.
The man also looked very good-looking while eating. He held the bowl slowly and chewed carefully. He felt Jiang Lai's gaze and asked casually.
"Why are you looking at me?"
"You look good."
"Well, I'll give you a good look upstairs later."
After that he added another sentence.
"Eat more, don't cry tired again when the time comes."
"..."
Old color batch.
Outside the kitchen, Zhou Min saw the interaction between the two clearly.
She was full of surprise and doubt, why did the two of them look like a couple in love?
Isn't Jiang Lai Shen Liao's lover?
Why was Shen Liao so gentle and patient with her?
He even kissed her fingers!
This is not a lover, this is clearly a lover!
Zhou Min felt extremely uncomfortable. In order to be close to Shen Liao, she worked so hard to learn and improve herself.
Obviously, she is also very beautiful, her family conditions are better than Jiang Lai, and she is willing to always be the woman behind Shen Liao. Why, why is it not me who is sitting opposite Shen Liao now?
Her heart was pounding, but she watched Shen Liao carrying Jiang Lai upstairs with a masochistic look.
That shameless woman Jiang Lai deliberately pretended to be a vixen. Her hands and feet hurt, but she even pestered Shen Liao to hug her!
The man was tall and well built. Even if he was wearing a shirt and suit pants that were not convenient at all, he could easily pick Jiang Lai up and walk up the stairs without any effort.
Holding Shen Liao's shoulders, Jiang Lai's eyes gently glanced at Zhou Min downstairs, with a provocative smile on his lips.
Zhou Min was shocked and almost lost his balance.
She did it on purpose!
She did this just to show herself!
How could this shameless woman get kisses and hugs from Shen Liao? !
Looking back, Jiang Lai shook his head, feeling bored.
Afterwards, Shen Liao came with Jiang in her arms and had no intention of leaving.
"Sorry, I didn't know today was Valentine's Day."
He began to feel soft again. Seeing Jiang Lai's nonchalant look, he cared even more.
"It's just a Valentine's Day. As long as you stay with me every day, then every day is Valentine's Day for me."
Shen Liao was so moved that she couldn't help but kiss her forehead.
"I heard, you signed for Light Sensing Technology."
"Yeah."
"The competitive pressure of light-sensing technology is not small. If you want to work, you can go to my office."
When Jiang Lai heard this, his face fell.
"Do you think that with my ability, I can only stay by your side as a secretary serving tea and water?"
"That's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean?"
Jiang Lai sat up and looked at Shen Liao with a sullen face.
"Don't ask me any more questions about my work from now on. I still have a manuscript on hand that I haven't finished yet. You can go to bed first."
After saying that, Jiang Lai stood up, put on his pajamas, opened the door and left the bedroom. His movements were cool and neat, like a scumbag who just throws it away after use.
Shen Liao was also a little unhappy. He didn't understand why Jiang Lai was angry again for no reason.
However, he was also used to Jiang Lai's temper, so he thought this time would be similar to before, and he could just coax him out tomorrow.
It wasn't until he got up and saw Jiang Lai packing his things that Shen Liao realized something was wrong.
"Where are you going?"
"Business trip."
"Business trip? Where to go?"
Jiang Lai was folding clothes without raising his head.
"Go to T City."
Shen Liao grimaced. He was used to being attached to Jiang Lai and could not accept her current attitude. Seeing that she was about to leave, Shen Liao said displeased.
“Don’t have enough pocket money recently?”
Jiang Lai took a deep breath and looked at him helplessly.
"Shen Liao, you are not my father. I can't live on your pocket money all the time."
"Why not?"
"Because I don't want to. I am your girlfriend, not your adopted lover."
Hearing the next sentence, Shen Liao's heart tightened and her breathing stopped for a while.
Seeing his silence, Jiang Lai put down the things in his hands and walked forward, stood on tiptoes, hugged him, and coaxed him softly.
"I will be back in a week. When I make money, I will buy you a better watch. Can you just wait for me at home?"
Shen Liao frowned, feeling something was strange, but soon he stopped looking into it because Jiang Lai's little mouth kept talking, as if to seduce him.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."
After saying that, he blocked her mouth and pressed the back of Jiang Lai's head with one hand, making her whole body press against him.
Sure enough, this way of saying goodbye is more sincere.
After Jiang Lai left, the villa suddenly became empty.
Shen Liao was used to coming back directly after work every day, and she was also used to washing up and going to bed directly after entering the door.
So when he was lying in bed, suffering from insomnia and anxiety, Shen Liao finally began to reflect on his current state.
He seemed to not want Jiang Lai to leave him.
Here, Shen Liao simply got up to work.
In T City, Jiang Lai returned to the hotel after a day's trip, took a shower, took a photo without makeup, and sent it to Shen Liao. (End of chapter)
