Chapter 214: Hesitation
Looking at the table of dishes with all the color and aroma, Cui Can had to admit that this guy is still very talented in cooking. I have been a housewife for more than ten years in my previous life, but my level is still not as good as this guy. So talent is really not something that can be found with jealousy.
"Sit down, why are you still standing?" Chen Jiu washed his hands and sat down opposite Cui Can, feeling a little funny when he saw Cui Can, who was still standing and staring at the table. It turns out that Cui Can is so easy to satisfy? So have you found the direction you want to pursue in the future?
After sitting down, looking at Chen Jiu with an eager face in front of him, Cui Can took a bite of the fish he made. "Well, it tastes really good."
"Haha, if you like it, I'll make it for you often in the future." Chen Jiu smiled with satisfaction, "Is there any wine?" Are we going to celebrate today's meeting? ”
"I'm sorry, I don't have any alcohol in the house." I'm not an alcoholic, let alone two single men and women, drinking? It can't be some kind of scheme, right? Of course, Cui Can just thought about the latter words in his heart and didn't say them.
Chen Jiu smiled, stood up and walked to the hanger, and took out a delicate gift box from his coat pocket. walked back to the dining table, sat down, and handed the box to Cui Can. "This is a New Year's gift for you, open it and see if you like it?"
Cui Can looked at Chen Jiu suspiciously, and then looked down at the box. Looking at the size, it should be a very delicate ornament or something, right? What will Chen Jiu give himself? Do you want to prepare a gift for him as well? During the Chinese New Year, Cao Rongtao also gave himself a gift, but it was a very ordinary gift. There is no burden in my heart to receive it, so this gift from Chen Jiu. Will it be a burden to collect it yourself?
"Why don't you want to see it?" Seeing that he had handed it over for a long time, Cui Can still hadn't taken it, Chen Jiu smiled a little apprehensively and spoke again.
Fortunately, Cui Can took the gift this time. "Actually, if you can cook me such a sumptuous meal today, it is already the best gift. I took this thing, will I be greedy? ”
"How so? I've already prepared this gift, and as for the meal on this table, it's for the coat, so it's not a gift. Cui Can finally accepted the gift, and Chen Jiu also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Can I open it and take a look?" After seeing Chen Jiu nodding, Cui Can began to move. Although it is tempting to face a table of meals. But the gift in her hand also made Cui Can's heart anxious, so after asking Chen Jiu's opinion, she slowly opened the box.
"Isn't this gift a little too valuable?" Inside the box was a set of violet jadeite jewelry. The color is what you like, and the style is also your favorite. Cui Can was really impressed, but looking at the planting water of this set of jewelry, she knew that the price was not cheap. Even if you buy it out of your own pocket, it will be distressing. What's more, it's someone else who gave it to itself. How can you accept it?
"Thank you for your kindness, this gift is too expensive for me to accept." This set of jewelry is more expensive than a building, so I really can't accept this gift.
Chen Jiu stared at Cui Can's eyes, knowing her firmness from her expression. He didn't speak, but took the cleaning up handed over by Cui Can. "Okay, let's eat."
This set of jewelry is very suitable for Cui Can, and she doesn't accept it now just because the relationship between the two has not yet reached that point. Then I will keep it for her and give it to her on the day she accepts herself.
Watch him neatly take back the gift. Cui Can was a little uncomfortable. Shouldn't you put it off for a while? Shouldn't you be upset? Why none of these? He actually started to pick up vegetables with a calm face, and he was sandwiching it for himself? Is this Chen Jiu the one you know? How could I have a Spring Festival and my understanding of him completely overturned? Didn't he know that he was more attractive to himself like this? Or does he know this and behave like this in front of him? For a while, Cui Can's mind was full of all kinds of question marks.
"Cui Can? What are you thinking? Hurry up and eat, shall we? Looking at Cui Can's rice bowl that had been filled by herself, Chen Jiu urged her to eat again.
Cui Can looked down at the full meal, and then looked at Chen Jiu, who looked at her with a look of hope but didn't move her chopsticks, and decided that the question marks in her mind should be left for later, now she has to eat, because her stomach has begun to protest.
After the two of them were full, Cui Can sat motionless in his position. "Chen Jiu, your craftsmanship is really good. If I keep eating your food, I'm going to be a big fat man. Today, she ate all the bowls full of food, and she felt a little panicked at this time. Although it was a little uncomfortable, she still cherished the deliciousness.
"If you like it, I'll come and make it for you as long as I have time in the future." Being able to get Cui Can's appreciation, Chen Jiu was very happy, and he ate a little too much tonight. So at this time, I also feel that my appetite is a little blocked. "Looks like we're going to do some after-dinner exercise."
Cui Can glanced at him, "I don't want to move at all at this time." "Cui Can knew for the first time that she was so able to eat and so lazy, if it was in front of others, she might still feel embarrassed, but Chen Jiu? She felt that this kind of self would make him even more disappointed and stop pestering.
Chen Jiu smiled, "You sit and I'll wash the dishes." Washing dishes is the last thing he likes to do, and he used to hire someone to wash the dishes when he cooks his own food. Today, here he feels very willing to do anything.
"No, I'll wash it myself later." Although I am very happy to hear what he said, I can't say that people have cooked for themselves and have to wash dishes at this time, right? So Cui Can also stood up after seeing his movements. Quickly pick up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, put them in the sink, and start washing.
Chen Jiu also helped pick up the bowls, and then watched Cui Can wash them one by one, he wiped the washed dishes and chopsticks one by one with a clean towel on the side, and then put them in the disinfection cupboard. The two of them tacitly washed the dishes, quickly cleaned up the kitchen, and then washed their hands and returned to the living room.
"Shall we go out for a walk?" Looking at the time, it was only six o'clock in the evening, Chen Jiu didn't want to be separated from Cui Can so early, but if he didn't go out to exercise, he knew that Cui Can would drive him away next.
Look at the time. Cui Can did not refuse. The two of them put on their coats, closed the door and went downstairs for a walk. When he walked to the corridor, Cui Can asked Chen Jiuyong if he didn't need to go back to his home to change his clothes? After all, his coat and his own coat were stained with the juice of roses. Chen Jiu refused. After all, it was already dark, and no one's eyes could see the dirt on their coat under such a dark gaze.
In fact, changing clothes is also a quick thing, but Chen Jiu just doesn't want to miss every minute with Cui Can. I don't know why, for Cui Can, his confidence disappeared without a trace.
As the two of them walked, they talked about what they might encounter when they opened tomorrow. After all, Sanhe Company has just been established. In the capital, he is still a foreigner, so tomorrow's incident will not be too big, and there will not be too many people. And the first step to open up the situation here is the interior decoration. Then I will take on some small projects and open up my situation little by little. At this time, the price of commercial housing is still very stable, and there is no sky-high price in later generations. So they want to start in the suburbs. Little by little, develop your own territory.
Chen Jiu also agreed with Cui Can's idea. And said that tomorrow he will call everyone he knows to cheer, and then Cui Can only needs to be responsible for dressing himself up beautifully, eating and drinking well. Other things have Li Shixun and him, and by the way, there is Ma Xiangdong. He also arrived in the capital tonight, which was his first industry out of Dingping County, so he was also very excited.
When the two of them returned home, it was already half past eight. Cui Can's legs were also very sore, "Thank you for everything you did today." See you tomorrow. ”
In front of Cui Can's door, she said goodbye to Chen Jiu.
Chen Jiu didn't entangle either. smiled and said good night to Cui Can.
After entering the house, Cui Can leaned against his door, covering his chest with both hands. Today's Chen Jiu is different from the Chen Jiu he knows, this kind of Chen Jiu is more down-to-earth and can make himself more attracted. If Chen Jiu was dazzling in the past, then he was gentle at this time, if he felt sharp in the past, then now he feels like IKEA. Both Chen Jiu were attractive, but the latter one was obviously more comfortable for her.
What should I do? How could you be deeply attracted by Chen Jiu like this? Can you still hold on to such a self for two years? What should Cao Rongtao do? During this holiday, although I didn't have much contact with him, I still felt with him, especially in some things, that tacit understanding can't deceive people. Could it be that he is really a water-based poplar?
Frightened by this word, Cui Can covered his cheeks with both hands. This kind of self is really scary, right? But these two people are so good, it's understandable that they are attracted, right? What's more, he has broken up with Cao Rongtao now, although he didn't agree, he had a two-year appointment with him. It's clean, right? So what are you going to do with Chen Jiu?
Chen Jiu, who returned to his room, looked at the same furnishings as in Cui Can's room, but he didn't have the feeling just now. It's really empty, obviously the same area, obviously the same furnishings, but there is one less person, and it feels so desolate. Chen Jiu turned around, and the hand that wanted to pull the door paused. What are you going to do now? Cui Can would not let himself enter the door at this time, not to mention that he had no good reason at all.
Resigned to his fate, he turned on the TV so that he was no longer alone in the room. I went into the bathroom and put the bath water, poured myself a glass of red wine, soaked in the warm water, and thought about my day's harvest. A bewildering smile bloomed across his face.
Although Cui Can didn't say anything, he knew that Cui Can was very satisfied with himself today. Especially when I cooperated with her to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, that tacit understanding was really happy. actually knew what kind of things Cui Can liked, so he would have a direction to attack in the future. Cui Can will definitely be his own! At this moment, Chen Jiu was very convinced.
Cui Can, who was separated by a wall, also soaked in the bathtub, although her bathtub was not Chen Jiu's bathtub that occupied the entire bathroom, but it was also a wide bathtub. In my previous life, because of the limited conditions, the house I lived in was not spacious, so the bathroom was only rainy. For Cui Can, who likes to take a bath, it can't help but say that it is a pity. In this life, she has money and ability. So as long as she likes it, she has it.
Slowly smearing bubbles on his body, Cui Can's mind was also what Chen Jiu did that day. I didn't see that the arrogant Chen Jiu still has such an IKEA side. If nothing else, this man is really suitable for himself. But he didn't dare to let go. It's not that I don't have confidence in myself, it's that I don't have confidence in Chen Jiu. He is not pretty, and he is a man. Now he likes himself, how about in a few years?
She can live without a man, but she can't be abandoned by a man. So she didn't want to try, or she didn't dare to try. Even if he was tempted by Chen Jiu, he knew rationally that he was not suitable for him.
Staring at the bubbles in the water, Cui Can's thoughts drifted to his friend. A few years ago, Zhang Qian and the others had already taken a fancy to a place, not far from here, and the area was large enough, but the price was also a lot. If you buy it, it will cost more than 10 million yuan, and if you rent it, it will cost 500,000 yuan a year. This money is a lot for Zhang Qian, after all, whether they make money or not, plus decoration labor or something, the investment is not a small amount.
But Cui Can feels that the price is very worthwhile, not to mention that the house price in a few years is like riding a rocket, even his secret recipes are not something that ordinary people can consume, and the effect is needless to say, so making money is certain. After the opening is busy tomorrow, I will go to see the house, and if I am satisfied, I will take advantage of the time before the start of school to buy it, and I can arrange for someone to decorate it.
Thinking about it, it was a little late, and the water in the bathtub was a little cold. Cui Can wiped his body, put on a yukata and came out of it.
As soon as I got back to the bedroom, I heard a phone call and thought. At this time, I remembered that I hadn't called my parents to report my safety when I came back. Hurriedly picked up the phone, and sure enough, it was my mother calling.
"Cancan, you haven't slept yet, have you?" After connecting, my mother's voice came.
"Not yet, I was busy when I came back, and I forgot to call you." Before his mother could ask herself, Cui Can hurriedly explained.
"It's okay, I'll call you, I have something to say." Mom's voice looked a little anxious.
"What happened to Mommy?" Cui Can at this end is also anxious, he left in the morning, why did something happen at night? Thinking about it like this, her mind was full of all kinds of bad things, and her mood was even more anxious.
"Don't panic, it's not a big deal." Hearing her daughter's worries, Li Yuqing hurriedly explained.
Cui Can finally breathed a sigh of relief. "What's the matter, tell me quickly, or I'll die in a hurry." (To be continued......)
