Chu Ling'er and Chu Fei’er did not say much and hung up the phone.
Chu Ling'er looked at Ye Chen who was sitting on the sofa watching television, and pointed to the kitchen.
Ye Chen looked at Chu Ling'er blankly.
"Go and cook. Didn't you just say that you would cook?" Chu Ling'er said.
"Ah, I was looking for an excuse."
"When a man speaks, he spits a mouthful of saliva. That's what I think anyway."
Ye Chen laughed, stood up, and said: "Since you've already said it like this, I'll show you another move." With that, Ye Chen walked into the kitchen.
Ye Chen went to the kitchen and looked. There wasn't anything there, so he couldn't help but shake his head and say: "CEO Chu, your house doesn't have anything. What do you want me to do?"
"Do what you want." Chu Ling'er said indifferently as he played with his phone.
Ye Chen was speechless for a long time after hearing Chu Ling'er's words.
"Then I'll go downstairs and buy some food." Ye Chen walked out of the kitchen and put on his shoes. Just as he was about to go out, he was stopped by Chu Ling'er.
"Wait, I'll give you the money. I don't want to eat things bought by others." Chu Ling'er gave Ye Chen two hundred yuan.
"CEO Chu is really generous, buying a dish for so much money, in the future I'll just be a babysitter for you, I'm sure to earn a lot from this." Ye Chen said with a smile.
Chu Ling'er basically had not bought any vegetables, and didn't know how much he would have to spend to buy a dish, but he felt a little embarrassed by Ye Chen's attitude. He rolled his eyes at Ye Chen fiercely and sat back on the sofa to continue playing on his phone.
Ye Chen went downstairs, and because it was only Ye Chen who came to Chu Ling'er's house on the second day, he didn't know where there were people selling vegetables, so he asked the security guard, who told him in detail, and Ye Chen headed towards the market.
As he walked into the market, various booths of different sizes appeared in front of Ye Chen. Ye Chen casually walked over to one of the booths and asked: "How much is this eggplant?"
"Ten dollars and three pounds of eggplant, four pieces per pound."
Ye Chen thought that since he had bought so many, both he and Chu Ling'er would not be able to eat them. On the other hand, these vegetables were more delicious, and the next day would not be any fresher.
Ye Chen bought some other vegetables, walked to the meat stall and bought some more meat, and was about to walk out of the market, but just as he walked to the door, Ye Chen saw an old man dressed in tattered clothes, squatting there to sell green onions. Ye Chen walked forward, picked up a bundle of green onions, and gave the old man a piece of twenty, and said indifferently: "There's no need to look for it, keep something good to eat." With that, Ye Chen turned and left.
Ye Chen carried so much food that it was pretty heavy, so he simply went out to block a taxi.
After the taxi driver heard the address that Ye Chen gave, he looked at Ye Chen.
The people who lived there were all rich, so how could a rich person personally come out to buy food? Usually, it was the nannies who came out to buy food, so the taxi driver asked.
"Kid, where are you working as a nanny for someone else?"
Ye Chen was confused, and asked: "What do you mean?"
"According to my understanding, those living in that district are all rich. Even the president of Wan Feng Group lives in that district, so how could rich people do such things like buying vegetables?"
Ye Chen finally understood what the taxi driver meant, hence he laughed and said: "Right, I am a nanny for others."
Young man, you look so young. You're at the prime of your life. How can you do such a thing? How can you find a wife in the future?" The drivers of the cabs in Bright Light City were all very interesting, usually when they got in their cars, their mouths would not stop, even for such a cold and aloof person like Chu Ling'er, they would become lively once they got in their cars, just that Chu Ling'er would not do it, if there was a chance, he would have to take a cab to take a look at her.
"Haha, I'm just temporarily doing this. I'm just doing this to help out my friends." Ye Chen said while laughing.
"Aiya, you have to be careful when doing this kind of thing. It's good if you help. If you don't tie him up well, he won't accept your kindness. At that time, he might even blame you." The taxi driver said kindly.
"Haha, that's true."
Ye Chen and the taxi driver chatted for a short while before the taxi arrived at the entrance of the residential complex, the taxi driver even gave Ye Chen a business card, saying that if he still needed a car for the next few days, he would give him a call, and at that time, the taxi driver would reduce the amount of travel charges to Ye Chen. Ye Chen also received the business card with a smile, and thanked him profusely.
The moment Ye Chen opened the door, he asked: "Big Brother, where did you go? Do you want to starve me to death?"
"Aren't I going to the market to buy vegetables?"
"Market? There's a fruit and vegetables supermarket downstairs, why are you going to the market? " Chu Ling'er looked at Ye Chen doubtfully.
"The security guards at your door told me. Ah, maybe I didn't explain clearly. I asked him where the market was. If I knew earlier, I would have asked him where there were people selling vegetables!" Ye Chen scratched his forehead and said.
"How stupid."
It's fine if you don't cook, but you don't need to buy vegetables anyway. When I left, you still didn't tell me where I could sell vegetables, and now you started complaining about me. I'm telling you, I have the ability to self-destruct. Ye Chen said as he placed the dishes in his hand into the kitchen and walked in front of Chu Ling'er.
Chu Ling'er burst out laughing, he did not think that Ye Chen being forced into such a corner was so interesting.
"Alright, I won't be angry with you anymore. Hurry up and cook. I'm working right now, so please do not disturb me." Chu Ling'er controlled his emotions and said.
Ye Chen looked at Chu Ling'er's computer and saw a huge pile of words and numbers, causing Ye Chen to feel dizzy. This Chu Ling'er was still able to remain calm, thus Ye Chen did not say anything and walked to the kitchen to cut the dishes swiftly.
Not long after, Chu Ling'er's phone started ringing. It was a video call from Chu Fei’er.
Chu Ling'er picked up the call, pointed at the screen and said fiercely: "Stupid girl, are you done yet? It's been awhile, why are you calling me again?"
On the screen, Chu Fei’er looked at Chu Ling'er's flustered and exasperated look and laughed to the point that he was bawling.
"Haha, sister, I missed you. I wanted to see you. I only heard your voice just now."
"Are you okay or not? I'm still working." Chu Ling'er said snappily. This little sister was actually thinking about him? It must be because of this reason that he came to investigate.
"Let me see. Brother-in-law, what are you doing? I'm very lonely in my home, let me have a taste of home." Chu Fei’er pouted and said.
Chu Ling'er raised his phone, looked at Ye Chen, and said: "Did you see that, that's your brother-in-law, your brother-in-law is currently cooking, see it clearly?"
Chu Ling'er held onto the phone and looked at his own computer: "Did you see, this is my office computer, your sister is working right now, see clearly?" With that, Chu Ling'er sat back on the sofa.
"Elder sister, why are you so fierce? Hmph, how boring. Bye bye. " Chu Fei’er hung up the phone.
Chu Ling'er said to the phone that was hung up: "How irritating, previously, I only had a headache, but now, I can't help but feel a headache. My liver and kidneys are aching too, the moment she called me, my entire body would feel pain."
Ye Chen laughed out loud and said: "Then you should go to the hospital to take a look."
Chu Ling'er turned around and stared at Ye Chen: "Shut your mouth, I'm annoyed."
Ye Chen said seriously: "To be honest, I'm guessing that this headache-inducing little sister of yours is about to give up."
Chu Ling'er turned around, looked at Ye Chen and nodded, then said: "About this, I think it's more or less there."
Ye Chen looked at Chu Ling'er while cutting vegetables: "Aiyo, I'm finally going to finish the mission."
"Are you not afraid of cutting your hand into pieces?" Chu Ling'er did not care about what Ye Chen said. Instead, he was deeply attracted by the way Ye Chen chopped vegetables and continuously praised Ye Chen.
After looking for a while, Chu Ling'er started working on her computer again.
The dishes that Ye Chen went out to buy just now were not bad. Each of them were very fresh.
"CEO Chu, time to eat." Ye Chen said as he placed the last dish on the table.
Although Chu Ling'er was facing the computer, her disappointing stomach had already started to growl, and upon hearing Ye Chen's words, she immediately stood up from the sofa, walked to the side of the table and sat down.
The moment Chu Ling'er sat down, Ye Chen immediately said with a smile: "You're not starving. When I was at home, I never saw you being so energetic even when I called you out to eat. Why are you in such a hurry to come eat today?"
"Who said I'm anxious? This is the least I can do to show my respect to you. After all, you painstakingly cooked such a large table of food, and I was dawdling. Of course Chu Ling'er wouldn't admit it.
"Haha, then I'll have to thank CEO Chu and respect me. But with my understanding of CEO Chu, no matter what you do, you always pursue perfection, right?" Ye Chen asked while holding in his anger.
"Of course." Chu Ling'er answered with certainty.
"Then CEO Chu, did you forget about doing something?"
Chu Ling'er frowned, he thought for a moment, then asked: "What is it?"
Ye Chen said smugly: "CEO Chu, you haven't washed your hands yet."
Hearing that, Chu Ling'er's face immediately turned red, she immediately got up and walked to the bathroom, washed her hands, and then returned to the table.
Ye Chen smiled as he looked at Chu Ling'er, and said: "CEO Chu, I don't mind if you continue to put on your boss's airs. With that, Ye Chen picked up the chopsticks, added a prawn and placed it in his mouth, then happily started to eat.
Chu Ling'er also added, "Why wouldn't I eat? I've spent money, why wouldn't I eat?" As he spoke, he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat as well.
Chu Ling'er had always lived alone for so many years. When Ye Chen was not around, she usually did not eat in the morning, and went to the company's dining hall for lunch at noon. When she returned home at night, she would order a takeout if she was hungry, eat if she was not, and not take care of herself at all.
