Chapter 48.2: Heh, man!

However, just as Bai Duanduan was wailing inwardly, Ji Lin opened his mouth once again –

“My house happens to be running out of a bag of rice, I want to have new rice tomorrow and I want to finish the old one tonight.” He coughed as if his throat was uncomfortable, his voice slightly unnatural, “There’s just enough for two people, so you can have two bowls.”

This means …… Does this mean?

“Can I come up to your house for dinner tonight?!”

Soon, the car arrived in the community, Bai Duanduan followed Ji Lin upstairs, and then she followed him into his house in a familiar way. When Ji Lin walked into the kitchen, Bai Duanduan skillfully took out the fruit from Ji Lin’s living room and began to peel it.

Although she couldn’t cook, Bai Duanduan could peel fruit. When Ji Lin cooked for her, she wanted to do what she could to toss some fruit after dinner.

She did this set of movement as if she and Ji Lin had been born to do it, and she had never thought about how she had developed this instinct recently.

Unbeknownst to her, Ji Lin, who was standing in the kitchen handling the ingredients, was looking at her with unfamiliar emotions welling up inside him.

Ji Lin had never been one to get acquainted with people easily, and he was good at keeping people away from him with the meanest words. Yet at some point, this girl sitting in the living room had come into his life very naturally, as if she had been born to sit there.

Ji Lin used to think that he might only have one friend in his life like Rong Sheng who could come into each other’s lives completely. After all, someone who was willing to spend more than ten years to get to know and accept himself as he really was, who didn’t care about his cold attitude, and who would stick his neck out for him, other than Rong Sheng, there might really be no one. Or maybe even if there was, that person wouldn’t have the patience for another ten years or so, and he wouldn’t give the other person ten years or so either.

Ji Lin felt that having a friend like Rong Sheng was good enough and he was not willing to make or try to know another such person.

Only he hadn’t expected that, and then there was Bai Duanduan.

She was not one of his friends, but sat steadily in his house, naturally waiting for him to cook, and he actually did cook for her every single time like a ghost.

——

While Ji Lin’s thoughts were racing in the kitchen, Bai Duanduan in the living room knew nothing about it. She only knew that it didn’t take long for Ji Lin, the little master Chef, to bring out a table full of colourful and fragrant meals, and as he had promised, the rice really had everything, not to mention eating two bowls, but even three or four bowls.

After working overtime for almost half a month, Bai Duanduan was finally satisfied when she ate this meal.

“It’s so delicious!”

She shouted in her heart, she really wanted to eat such delicious food for the rest of her life!

Bai Duanduan was a practical person, and every time a problem was raised, she automatically went to think of a solution. Was it possible for her to eat something this good for the rest of her life, she analysed internally? The answer was yes. And the way? The way was ……

Bai Duanduan glanced at Ji Lin who was eating slowly and methodically in front of her.

The way was-

Marry Ji Lin! Become Ji Lin’s wife! And she gets to eat such delicious food for the rest of her life.

When this answer flashed in Bai Duanduan’s mind, it took her by surprise, the shock of which made her almost choke on her meal.

Bai Duanduan took several sips of water before she tried to ease her emotions, and she stole a glance at Ji Lin.

Well, this man looks really good, just watching him eat like this is no less than a painting, and the food he cooks is so good too. He still has an income of half a billion yuan a year and even if he is relatively stingy, but as long as the marriage, if she insist on not signing a prenuptial agreement, then after the divorce she can get quarter a billion a year …… in fact, this was not a loss.

It’s just that …… Bai Duanduan looked at Ji Lin again and felt that there was no operational feasibility in this matter. Because she felt that Ji Lin probably wouldn’t fall in love with anyone very easily, he looked cold and icy, and she didn’t seem to be the type he would like at all.

A lifetime of eating so well seemed hopeless.

In fact, this was originally a pipe dream, but for some reason, when Bai Duanduan thought about it, she felt a bit lost and melancholy.

What kind of girl would Ji Lin like then? He would get married anyway, and when the time come, the girl who married him would be able to eat such delicious food. Inexplicably, Bai Duanduan was surprisingly a bit resigned when she thought about it.

However, just like herself, Ji Lin also seemed to be in deep thought, he ate slowly and quietly for a while, and then coughed inadvertently as if the leader was about to make an important speech.

Bai Duanduan thought that he would probably brainwash herself to continue working overtime and contribute to Sheng Lin’s revenue ……

It’s just a pity that this guy Ji Lin never plays by the rules.

He asked Bai Duanduan an inexplicable question –

“You just said in the car that you had never seen a boss as good as me.” Ji Lin paused and said as if it was natural, “You say that to every boss, right? Didn’t you say that Lin Hui was a good boss too? After all the trouble in the beginning, how can you still remember his good deeds now?”

Although he didn’t say his subtext, Bai Duanduan had already heard it –

“Which boss is better, me or Lin Hui?”

Bai Duanduan looked at Ji Lin’s face, which clearly cared a lot but pretended not to care much, and in her heart she wanted to laugh. What kind of childish schoolboy was he? Why was this guy, Ji Lin, so competitive? Even if he’s the boss, he wants to be the best boss and fight with Lin Hui?

It’s just that Bai Duanduan’s silence obviously made Ji Lin a little uncomfortable. He shifted his sitting position and used his chopsticks to pick at a piece of fish on his plate, “He cooks for you too, is his cooking as good as mine?”

Bai Duanduan was just about to answer when she heard Ji Lin continue to add to his story as if he was afraid of hearing a positive answer, “I guess it’s because my food is better, you see you’ve obviously put on a bit of weight compared to when you were at ZhaoHui.”

Bai Duanduan was not happy to hear this. If he said his food was good, then it was good, but why did he involve her weight? She immediately subconsciously retorted, “Ji Lin, did I gain weight by eating your rice?”

Ji Lin gave her a subtle look and said calmly, “You ate it.” He looked at the rice bowl held in Bai Duanduan’s hand, “And are eating it.”

“……”

This was embarrassing……
