Chapter 1122 - Best Actor Shen Is Jealous (8)
Lu Nanze was completely taken aback.
His mouth was already almost filled with the tasty flavor of crab roe.
The fresh aroma pervaded his senses.
The taste of crab roe was indeed delicious, but the thought of his allergy caused him to want to spit out the food reflexively.
However the next moment, his gaze met with Qiao Lian’s as she remarked, “We were childhood sweethearts, so you must like the food that I like too, isn’t that so?”
Looking into those eyes, Lu Nanze found himself nodding when what he really wanted to do was shake his head.
With a big gulp, he forced the crab roe dumpling down his throat.
Hurriedly, he started to down water, hoping to suppress the itch that was already starting on the corners of his mouth. But to his dismay, yet another crab roe dumpling appeared before his eyes.
Lu Nanze: …
Qiao Lian said in a serious tone, “There are only six here. I’ll eat three and you have the other three. See how good I am to you?”
Lu Nanze was shaken.
Could he rather not have her being good to him like this?
Just as he was about to respond, Qiao Lian spoke again gravely, “Why do I have the feeling that I lived a moment like this, eating with you, long ago?”
Lu Nanze winced as he held back the words he was about to say.
After putting crab roe dumpling into her mouth, she picked up another one for him and said, “One has to learn how to share good food, Lu Nanze. I’m willing to share my happiness with you, but are you willing to accept what I share?”
He said, “I’m willing.”
And he meant it too. Even if he got an allergic reaction, he still felt the beauty of that moment could be retained.
Hence, when Qiao Lian approached her chopsticks, he opened his mouth and gulped down the crab roe dumpling.
Qiao Lian was appeased only after he had eaten the three crab roe dumplings.
Three of those should be enough to make him quite ill all day.
At this thought, she giggled to herself.
After lunch, Lu Nanze took Qiao Lian back to the office before leaving in a hurry without another word.
At 3 p.m., an ambulance turned up at the office building.
At 4 p.m., she received a call from Lu Nanze saying, “Qiao Lian, I have some business matters to attend to, I won’t be able to take you home, but the chauffeur will do so. If there’s nothing to do in the office, just go home. I’ll pick you up for work tomorrow.”
She smiled broadly and said, “Sure, sure. What is the important business matter you have to deal with?”
“It’s nothing.”
“Ok. But no matter how busy, health is more important. You have to take care of your health.”
Lu Nanze, who was on a drip in the hospital in the meantime, said, “I know.”
Finally satisfied, she hung up, picked up her bag happily and headed out of the building.
By the time the chauffeur dropped her off at home, it was 5:30 p.m.
Entering the house hurriedly, Qiao Lian saw Shen Liangchuan sitting calmly in the living room.
She quickly walked up to him and told him everything that had happened in the office today, without leaving out the tiniest detail.
At 6 p.m., Shen Liangchuan got to his feet and said, “Dinner time.”
Qiao Lian nodded and went to the dining room with Shen Liangchuan. When she saw the spread, she was stunned.
Why was everything on the dinner table an exact replication of what she had had for lunch?
Especially the six crab roe dumplings.
As she processed this, Shen Liangchuan sat at the dinner table, pointed at the crab roe dumplings and said, “Three for you and three for me, how about that?”
Qiao Lian: …!!
