Chapter 159 is too much, open flirting.
Chapter 159 is too much, open flirting.
Lu Ran had no idea that his low-key car pickup would cause a group of people to break their guard.
After driving the Bugatti back to the villa, I had just watched TV in the living room for a while when I received a phone call from Liu Nini.
"Mr. Lu, the transfer process for Kemin Electronics has been completed. All that's left is for Mr. Cheng to sign it and it will be effective. I've already had someone deliver the contract to you, and he's outside the community right now."
"Okay, I'll go get it right away."
Lu Ran hung up the phone and went to the entrance of the residential area to get the contract.
After returning to the villa, he opened the contract and examined it carefully. Finding no problems, he neatly placed it in the drawer, waiting for Cheng Ning to return so he could find a way to get her to sign it.
It's a company after all, so it should add a lot of charm points to his girlfriend. Lu Ran was really looking forward to it.
in the afternoon.
A car horn sounded outside the villa, and Lu Ran knew that Cheng Ning, who was learning to drive, had returned.
Sure enough, not long after, Cheng Ning and Hu Wen walked into the villa, chatting and laughing.
"Mr. Lu, I've safely delivered Cheng Ning home. I have other things to attend to, so I won't disturb your sweet life any longer!"
"Stay for dinner, it's still early."
Cheng Ning held Hu Wen's hand, trying to persuade her to stay.
Lu Ran, who was cooking, spoke up at this moment: "I specially made a few extra dishes, just waiting for you two to come back for dinner. You can take care of whatever you need to do after dinner."
"Well, alright then, I'll try our boss's cooking."
Hu Wen had only made an excuse to leave, but now that Lu Ran and Cheng Ning were trying to persuade her to stay, she didn't refuse anymore and sat down on the sofa with Cheng Ning to wait for the food to be served.
Looking around at the huge villa, Hu Wen exclaimed, "Cheng Ning, don't you and Lu Ran feel empty living in such a big house? Are you scared at night? Do you sleep together in each other's arms?"
Cheng Ning blushed and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I... we didn't share a room."
"If someone else said that, I definitely wouldn't believe it. A single man and a beautiful woman living under the same roof, it would be strange if nothing happened between them. But for the two of you, I believe it."
After spending this time together, Hu Wen had gained a certain understanding of Cheng Ning and Lu Ran.
She knew these two were capable of living under the same roof but not sleeping in the same room.
Cheng Ning was too embarrassed to answer the question, but luckily Lu Ran had just finished preparing the food. She stood up and said, "You sit down, I'll go get the dishes."
Hu Wen watched Lu Ran and Cheng Ning serving food together and felt extremely envious, thinking that she wished she could also have such a relationship.
"Hmm, I didn't expect the boss to have such culinary skills."
After tasting the dish, Hu Wen gave her sincere evaluation.
Lu Ran smiled faintly, "If you really want to praise me, you should at least eat some stir-fried dishes or something. What kind of culinary skills can a simple cucumber salad demonstrate?"
Hu Wen gave an awkward laugh: "Haha, okay, I'll have some stir-fried pork."
"Mmm, it's delicious, even better than the dishes cooked by chefs in five-star hotels."
Lu Ran smiled: "Thank you!"
Such exaggerated acting was the worst he had ever seen. He really wanted to say that if you don't know how to flatter, you don't need to force it. With your relationship with Cheng Ning and your ability to get things done, you don't need to do all this.
In terms of cooking skills, both he and Cheng Ning were just at an average level. The reason they usually enjoyed their food was because they had a mutual attraction through their shared perception of each other.
To say that it's so delicious that you can't help but praise it more than a five-star chef is a bit unrealistic; how can an amateur compare to a professional?
"How did your driving lesson go today?"
Today was Cheng Ning's first day at driving school. Normally, once you enroll, it would be best to keep learning, but Cheng Ning insisted on finishing her work and taking time off to learn.
At this rate, it will probably take quite a while to learn it.
Lu Ran knew that even if he tried to persuade her, it wouldn't be of much use, because although Cheng Ning seemed obedient, once she made up her mind about something, it was impossible to change it.
Thinking about this gave Lu Ran a headache.
So stubborn, how am I going to get Cheng Ning to sign later?
"I'm so stupid, I only learned the basics today."
When Lu Ran mentioned learning to drive, Cheng Ning's expression turned aggrieved, because learning to drive was much more difficult than she had imagined.
After a morning of learning, she had barely managed to get the basics down, while some of the new students with her had already started learning to turn and reverse.
Lu Ran gently rubbed her face: "Don't be discouraged. You've only recently regained your sight, so your visual perception and sense of direction are definitely not as good as others. Take it slow, there's no rush."
Cheng Ning swallowed the food in her mouth, pursed her lips, and said, "What if I can't learn it in a long time?"
"Impossible, you're that amazing."
"I'm not that great. You're just saying nice things to me. Actually, when I can't see, I often burn the food. You only eat so fast and so deliciously to save face for me. I know all of that."
Lu Ran never expected that talking about learning to drive would bring up painful memories for Cheng Ning.
He never expected that Cheng Ning had always known about how he used to rush to eat the burnt or charred dishes.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ruin the mood, I just..."
She just felt useless, and that many people would despise her if she left Lu Ran!
Cheng Ning did not say these words.
Because Lu Ran and Hu Wen are both silent now, even though everyone was eating well, her personal emotions have affected the atmosphere.
Cheng Ning felt very guilty.
"Sweetie, eat first. After you finish eating, I'll teach you how to start and reverse the car. I promise you'll learn it in one go."
Lu Ran recalled the romance skill card he had previously obtained, "Heartbeat Synchronization," which increased the level of understanding between him and Cheng Ning and allowed them to perceive each other's feelings and thoughts.
Although there was only one hour, Lu Ran felt that with his abilities, teaching Cheng Ning how to start, turn, and reverse in an hour shouldn't be a problem.
The only thing lacking between a master and his apprentice is a certain level of understanding.
"You don't need to lie to me."
However, Cheng Ning naturally did not believe Lu Ran's words. She had been trying to learn all morning and still couldn't, so how could Lu Ran teach her once and she could learn it?
Lu Ran's eyes flickered.
"Let's make a bet. If I can teach you how to start a car and reverse into a parking space within an hour, you'll promise me one thing, okay?"
Perfect timing! Let's take this opportunity to get Cheng Ning to sign, killing two birds with one stone.
"Hey, do you guys have to be so lovey-dovey in front of me? There's a single guy here!"
Hu Wen couldn't take it anymore.
Out of respect for the boss, Lu Ran and Cheng Ning were affectionate for a bit, and she tolerated the touching of faces and pretended not to see it.
Good grief, they got even more outrageous later on, openly flirting in front of her. Hu Wen was afraid that if she didn't acknowledge her presence, the two of them would start kissing right in front of her.
Lu Ran chuckled and said, "What kind of look is that? My request is very positive, absolutely nothing crooked or evil."
Hu Wen asked, "Really?"
"Of course it's true."
"Ahem, actually, being a little inappropriate is fine too, but you two have to wait until I leave. You two can have some fun behind closed doors."
