Soon, the steaming hot noodles were ready in the wok.
Lin Wan Bai turned off the stove and turned around. He was startled when he saw Huo Chang Yuan standing there.
"Eh, Mr. Howe!" Thinking of borrowing his kitchen, he asked, "Are you hungry? "I've cooked quite a bit, do you want a bowl?"
"Alright." Huo Chang Yuan bit his lips.
After he finished speaking, even he was a bit surprised.
It seemed that he hadn't eaten breakfast for many years since his mother's death. Most of them were black coffee without sugar or milk, and the bitter taste spread from his throat to his stomach, giving him a refreshing feeling.
Huo Chang Yuan pulled open the dining chair and sat down, a bowl of steaming hot noodles appeared in front of him.
"You often make your own food?"
he asked, looking up, and seeing the experience in the way he had just witnessed her skill.
"That's right!" Lin Wan Bai, who was sitting opposite to him, nodded and honestly explained, "Grandmother has often told me that the things outside are expensive and unhygienic.
Huo Chang Yuan looked at the apron on her body that he had not taken off, the color of his eyes flashing slightly, "There aren't many women who can cook anymore."
Hearing that, Lin Wan Bai laughed.
It was because with his identity and status, he would either be a young lady or a rich girl like Lin Yao Yao. How could he be like her, a poor person, and naturally be unable to understand the principle of a poor family's child being in charge.
Lin Wan Bai looked down into his bowl and picked up his chopsticks, "I didn't know you were eating this, I only made an egg and I'll split it with you!"
The egg was split open, revealing the golden heart of the egg.
She gave the larger one to Huo Chang Yuan and habitually bit the tip of his chopsticks.
Seeing that he was staring at her without even moving, and had not used his chopsticks for a long time, Lin Wan Bai misunderstood him and anxiously clarified, "The chopsticks are new, I did not use it just now!"
"I haven't had enough of your saliva?" Huo Chang Yuan said slowly.
"…" Lin Wan Bai choked on his saliva.
Huo Chang Yuan picked up two chopsticks and calmly placed it in his mouth.
When he swallowed it down, Lin Wan Bai, who was standing opposite him, seemed to be unable to hold back anymore. She nervously asked him, like a primary school student waiting for the form teacher's approval: "How is it, is it alright?"
"Yes." Huo Chang Yuan nodded.
Lin Wan Bai inexplicably heaved a sigh of relief.
After finishing his bowl of noodles, Huo Chang Yuan knocked on the side of the bowl and asked, "Is there anymore?"
"No …" Lin Wan Bai was startled, then realised what he was referring to. He turned around and looked at the kitchen, "There should be only some soup left."
"Bring them to me."
Lin Wan Bai took his empty bowl and stood up, pouring out all the soup and water in the pot.
After seeing him take it, he used his chopsticks to pick it up and then picked it up to drink. When he put it down, not a single drop remained.
For some reason, she secretly felt a tinge of joy in her heart.
It was night outside the drawn shutters, and the office buildings were like crystal boxes.
After following Huo Chang Yuan, Lin Wan Bai suddenly felt that time was no longer as tight as it used to be.
In the past, if the company was working overtime, she would be very anxious, afraid that the manager would find a fault to deduct the money after being late for the part-time job.
When Lin Wan Bai got out of the elevator, one of her male colleagues who was usually sitting beside her desk said, "Xiaobai, does your home live nearby?"
"That's right!" Lin Wan Bai nodded.
"What a coincidence!" The male colleague smiled as he took out his car keys, "I want to go to my relatives' house to deliver something to them. It's also nearby, so I might be able to give it to you on the way!"
His male colleague was very enthusiastic, so Lin Wan Bai couldn't refuse to sit in the car with him.
The road was not too congested at this time of the year. The bridge was very smooth and they would only stop occasionally when they encountered a red light.
There was a broadcast in the car, so the male colleague took the initiative to start a conversation, "Lil 'White, I feel it's really hard to talk to you like this outside the company! Every time you get off work, you will be the first to leave. I heard that you still have a part-time job to do tonight? "
"I won't do it now …" Lin Wan Bai laughed.
"Un, as a girl, don't be too tired!" The male colleague nodded and looked at her for a bit before asking casually, "Xiaobai, do you have a boyfriend?"
"Nope." Lin Wan Bai shook his head.
But her body did not belong to her, and there was someone else in her heart.
Because he lowered his eyes, he didn't see the joy in his male colleague's eyes. "If there's none …"
The phone in his bag suddenly vibrated.
Lin Wan Bai interrupted him, "Wait, let me pick up the phone!"
He took out his phone with the three words "Huo Chang Yuan" written on it.
"Where are you!"
Once he picked it up, he immediately asked.
"Whose car!" Huo Chang Yuan continued to interrogate him.
"…" Lin Wan Bai frowned, he was confused but he still answered honestly, "A male colleague was bringing something to his relatives, staying near my house, and sending me on my way."
The other end of the line paused for two seconds before spitting out two words, "Get off."
"Huh?" Lin Wan Bai was surprised.
When the car's whistle sounded, she could not help but look towards the reverse mirror on the right. Unknowingly, a black Bentley was following closely behind, flashing twice at her.
Lin Wan Bai had sat in this car before, so he knew who was inside.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Wan Bai had no choice but to say to his male colleagues, "Sorry, I suddenly have something to do, let's stop the car by the side of the road!"
Although his male colleague was puzzled, he still stopped the car.
Lin Wan Bai thanked him and pushed open the door to the car.
"Lil 'White, wait, it's your bag!"
Lin Wan Bai had not taken two steps when his male colleagues caught up from behind.
Patting her head, she reached out her hand to take it. Before she could say thank you, an electric car suddenly came by. When her male colleague reacted in time, he pulled her hand.
"Ah, thank you!" Lin Wan Bai was stunned.
"You're welcome." The male colleague smiled warmly.
The black Bentley that had stopped next rang its horn consecutively.
Without needing to guess, he already knew who gave way to him, so Lin Wan Bai did not dare delay any further, and waved goodbye to his male colleagues before he ran towards the Bentley. Jiang Fang who was seated in the front seat had already got off the car and helped her open the back door.
Huo Chang Yuan was wearing a suit and sitting in the back.
As if it was the end of some meal, his tie had been torn off, and his shirt had been unbuttoned to reveal his slightly protruding collarbone. There was a trace of drunkenness in his deep eyes, and the smell of alcohol lingered in the air.
Just as Lin Wan Bai sat down, his waist tightened.
Huo Chang Yuan bit his lips lightly, a stern voice sounded out, "Which hand did he touch you with?"
