90 What Would Be a More Proper Thing For Us to Do? (2/2)
”Why are you here?”
Long Tianze stood up straight and folded his arms, looking at her calmly. ”Just shopping around casually, then I reached your store. I wanted to treat you to a meal, but I see you've eaten.”
”Yes, I've eaten. I thought there was something on. As it happens, the store has closed. If you've anything to say, let's go outside.”
”Alright, let's go.” He turned around and headed out first, with Mei Yangyang following behind.
Looking at how Xu Jingwen had turned into a fool, Zhang Li used the other end of the chopstick to nudge her shoulder. ”What's wrong with you?”
Xu Jingwen suddenly went out of her trance and said, ”I thought he was Sister Yangyang's boyfriend. But from their conversation, it seemed like he wasn't. Although he was wearing a face mask, he seems really handsome.”
”He is your cup of tea again, right?” Although Zhang Li had not known her for a long time, she understood what kind of girl she was.
”Mmm… I have something for tall and handsome men. It would be best if he was rich too.” She beamed brightly. ”The problem is, I haven't been able to meet one myself.”
”Do you think it is that easy to win the heart of this kind of men who have everything? Unless you're extraordinary.” As she packed up the food boxes into a plastic bag and threw it into the bin, Zhang Li went on, ”Look at Sister Xiaoning: she has a brain, a great body, and good looks. This kind of woman who has everything will naturally be able to find someone on par with her. Although Sister Yangyang comes from an average family, she is sweet-looking like a little lolita, and her personality is straightforward and easy-going too. I think her future partner would not be too bad as well.”
Xu Jingwen pushed her hair behind her ears and exclaimed, ”Well, I'm not too bad either. I believe I'm quite pretty too, my body is kept in shape, and my brain isn't too bad. Those men of mediocre quality don't deserve me, I'll find a good man too next time.”
Zhang Li wiped the table and poured a glass of water. She shook her head as she replied, ”Your ambition is greater than the sky. A princess at heart, but living the life of a slave. I really hope that you'll achieve what you wish for in the future.”
There was a resolute look in Xu Jingwen's eyes. This conviction pushed her to make preparations for the day she'd become successful.
Although she was wearing a down coat, Mei Yangyang still felt slightly cold when she left the store.
His car was parked at the store entrance, so the two got on immediately.
Long Tianze turned on the lights and heater in the car, then took out a beef pattie. ”I'd wanted to ease my hunger with this. Forget it, I'll just eat this for my dinner.”
”Don't let your stomach put up with this, why don't we go to a restaurant to eat?”
”I'm too lazy, there's no point in eating by myself. Why don't you make a meal for me?”
”Sure.” What's so difficult about making a meal? He'd even saved her before.
He put down the beef pattie and started to drive. The car started to go forward at a very slow speed.
When they finally reached Shui Lou Estate where he lived, he stopped the car. Pointing to a brightly-lit area ahead, he said, ”Let's buy some ingredients from the supermarket, there's nothing in my fridge at all.”
Mei Yangyang had to give it to him. ”What do you want to eat?”
The two got off together, and Long Tianze responded after some thought, ”I want to eat noodles with shredded meat.”
She turned and watched him. ”Just this?”
”Is that okay?”
”Since Young Master Long has spoken, of course it's fine. Let's go.”
He went into the supermarket and placed almost any ingredient he could see into the shopping cart. After they were done, he came out with two big bags in his arms.
His fridge was finally fully filled with food.
”Where's the apron?”
He went to get it for her and hung it over her neck. Then, he naturally helped her tie it behind her back. Mei Yangyang then started to prepare a meal for him.
While she was preparing the meal, he stood there observing her closely. He seldom ate at home and had never let any woman enter his kitchen before.
As he looked on, Long Tianze felt that if he had a woman to cook for him every day, it would actually be great.
