C609 Cut off Finger
After chatting for so long, the depression in Yang Chen's heart had dissipated. He looked at the time and realized it was already afternoon. Thinking of the time he had promised to go to Liu Mingyu's new home, he dialed Liu Mingyu's number.
Liu Mingyu was in her office, looking through the documents of some new projects. These days, she had been rather busy. Ever since Lin Ruoxi came back from Europe, not only did she not relax, she even expanded her efforts, integrating all kinds of acquisitions and mergers. The terrifying wealth that Yu Lei had saved up was like a raging bull, every PR member of the PR Department ran all over the place all day long, talking about this and that, never getting along.
Receiving a call from Yang Chen, Liu Mingyu took off her black-framed glasses and smiled. She could probably guess the reason for Yang Chen's call. When she answered the call, she asked, "Are you free?"
Yang Chen was surprised for a moment and smiled bitterly. Could it be that his thoughts were that simple? Liu Mingyu guessed correctly and said, "When do you get off work? I'll come pick you up."
"It's not like I don't have a car," Liu Mingyu said, "Besides, you're also Yu Lei's man. You should know when it's time to get off work."
Yang Chen rubbed his nose, "Don't be so sharp when talking with your own people. Aren't I being considerate to you?"
"Hypocrite. If you want me to skip class, just say so." Liu Mingyu giggled.
Yang Chen felt wronged, he really didn't have any intention of making her leave. But then he thought about it, yes, Liu Mingyu said that deliberately, so he laughed along the way: "Since you found out about it, then you might as well stay at work. I'll immediately drive over to pick you up, it wouldn't feel good if you took a different car to your place."
"At least you're smart." Liu Mingyu immediately hung up the phone as if it was a promise.
Liu Mingyu was tired from her work these few days, so it was rare for her to have some privacy with Yang Chen. She also wanted to temporarily leave her work aside before thinking of running away.
Half an hour later, Yang Chen left Yu Lei's car park with Liu Mingyu. Adele's music was still playing in the car. It had been bought by Qiangwei yesterday and never changed.
Liu Mingyu asked curiously, "I didn't realize that you would like listening to Adele's songs. I thought a heartless man like you would listen to some light songs."
"What do you mean heartless?" Yang Chen twitched his mouth in dissatisfaction. "You should change the way you say it, such as elegant, unrestrained, and so on. Besides, I didn't listen to this CD."
"Then who listened to this song?" Liu Mingyu was puzzled.
Yang Chen was a bit embarrassed and said, "Qiangwei listened to it when she was in my car yesterday."
Liu Mingyu knew Qiangwei. Because of Liu Qingshan, she knew that Yang Chen had a lover. It was the Red Thorn Society's president, Situ Qiangwei.
When he heard Yang Chen say that, he nodded, "So it's her. We'll meet again in the future."
Yang Chen snickered. You two women can be considered as "people on the same side as you".
When the car drove a distance away, Yang Chen suddenly remembered and asked, "You still haven't told me where the place is."
Liu Mingyu thought for a moment and said, "Let's not go to my place for now and go to the market. I want to buy some fresh vegetables and meat so that I can cook at my place tonight."
Yang Chen, of course, had no objections. Speaking of which, there were a lot of women around him. There might be only Mo Qianni and Lin Ruoxi who were still in the training stage. Therefore, he was happy to let Liu Mingyu show her skills.
When the car arrived at the market, Yang Chen accompanied Liu Mingyu out of the car. The two of them were like a couple that came to buy groceries on their way home from work and wandered around.
Before Liu Mingyu found out the true identity of her father, Liu Qingshan, she had always grown up like an ordinary Zhonghai City girl.
As they walked and stopped along the way, no matter if it was vegetables or meat, Liu Mingyu had her eyes on, she would always haggle with her wife for a good while, and she would even play a few tricks to make Yang Chen act like she was getting impatient.
Yang Chen looked at the scene in front of him. It was quite refreshing. She wondered if Lin Ruoxi was the same as Nanny Wang when they went out to buy vegetables. It would probably be difficult for her to do so. Although Lin Ruoxi had been talking a lot lately, she was still cold when facing strangers. Bargain? She might not be able to do it in her next life.
Whenever she bought low-priced dishes, Liu Mingyu would smile brightly and hand the plastic bag over to Yang Chen to carry before she continued her assault on the next restaurant.
Yang Chen smiled and asked, "Are you really that happy? We don't lack money, so why are you talking so much to save a dollar or two? What's there to be happy about?"
Liu Mingyu pouted her lips and rolled her eyes at Yang Chen, "What do you know? Money is not the main thing. The main thing is the bidding process. The bidding is a kind of fun. Not bidding at the market is worse than killing me."
"Your mother taught you this?" Yang Chen asked curiously.
Liu Mingyu nodded her head and smiled: "My father was still in Yanjing when I was young, and only my mother took me, us mother and daughter did not live too well. Of course we have to be frugal and go about our business. "Don't look at the fact that I'm currently working for a fashion industry company like Yu Lei. I'm quite clear about the prices in that small market right now. A lot of things are actually just branded and removed from the brand, they are just street vendors."
Yang Chen looked at Liu Mingyu's cute and complacent appearance, and sighed again. He really didn't know enough about the women around him. He never thought that the charming and elegant Liu Mingyu would have such a 'market' side to her.
However, loving a person would naturally love what she loved. Yang Chen quickly accepted Liu Mingyu's appearance of shouting and bidding, and he even joined in the bidding war. He was extremely happy.
The speed of buying the dishes was obviously not fast. It took them over half an hour to finish buying all of the dishes.
It was already late at night when he drove to Liu Mingyu's newly built, high-end apartment.
The apartments in this block were all environmentally friendly, and the air conditioners were controlled by technologies such as geothermal and underground water. Although they were apartments, the area of each floor was a unit, so their prices were comparable to some small villas.
Liu Qingshan wasn't much and was quite willing to spend money on his daughter. Otherwise, with Liu Mingyu's salary, she would never dare to buy this kind of apartment for the rest of her life.
Yang Chen followed Liu Mingyu up to the top floor with his bags and bags of belongings. Liu Mingyu lived alone on this floor, which was a waste.
"Tsk tsk, having a rich dad is just different!" Yang Chen sighed and said with a smile.
Liu Mingyu blushed. "Actually, I didn't ask to buy this place. It was my father who insisted that I stay here."
"What's there to blush about? He left you two mother and daughter to go to the Yanjing a few years ago, this is compensation for not taking good care of you all these years. Just use him as you please." He's not happy yet. " Yang Chen encouraged her.
Liu Mingyu ignored him, took out the key to open the door, and let Yang Chen bring the stuff into the kitchen.
The entire interior of the apartment was a milky-white color, with a light brown leather sofa, brightly patterned wool carpets, and all sorts of latest electronics. There were even tens of thousands of worth of magnets that were installed on the bed.
This residence was even better than Lin Ruoxi's CEO. It was even renovated, and there were probably tens of millions of them. Liu Qingshan had invested a lot into this daughter.
"You can sit on the sofa, I'll cook in the kitchen and we'll be able to eat in an hour." Liu Mingyu took off her work uniform, changed her blue blouse and white tights, and put down her hair, making her look a lot more delicate and pretty.
"An hour? It's been too long! " Yang Chen said dejectedly, "I thought I could eat it in half an hour. My stomach is already hungry. How about I help you? My cooking skills are average, but I'm a chef when it comes to cutting vegetables."
"Can you do it?" Liu Mingyu looked at Yang Chen doubtfully, "What if you cut your finger?"
"Even if I cut my finger, it wouldn't be because of something wrong with my blade. It must be because of you." Yang Chen laughed.
"Why? Why is it because of me?" Liu Mingyu retorted.
Yang Chen revealed a regretful expression, "Who told there to be a beautiful cook at home. She's too beautiful and caught my eye. Of course I cut my finger …"
"Bitch, I'll see that you can be fine after you seal your mouth." Liu Mingyu was inwardly happy, but she still spat on the spot.
After the division of labor was settled, Yang Chen helped him cut various ingredients into the kitchen. Liu Mingyu cooked, while Liu Mingyu cooked. The two chatted and laughed as if they were a couple.
Yang Chen cooked very quickly. He could even cut potatoes with his eyes closed. After he was done, he would just lean against the kitchen door and look at Liu Mingyu, who was wearing an apron and cooking oil in a pan, busying herself.
Women tend to think that men are particularly attractive when they are serious about their work, while men tend to think that women who cook seriously are equally attractive.
A kind of faint warmth filled Yang Chen's heart. He recalled the experiences of the two people from when they first met to now. The time he could spend with her was extremely little.
But the truth was, Liu Mingyu really didn't want much. She was too busy trying to make this dinner, because she knew that this was a rare opportunity, so she treasured it a lot.
Love was not about getting anything, but about wanting to give.
