Li Wanru was busy cooking porridge in the kitchen. She didn't know why, but she felt very refreshed.
Occasionally, she would glance at the sofa in the living room, seeing his long legs extending beyond the sofa because his frame was too tall and large, while her sofa was too small.
She had bought a sofa about one meter sixty in length, but Chen Jiancheng was over one meter eighty-six tall, so his head and feet comically stuck out.
Coincidentally, today was Sunday, and neither of them had to work. Because he had suffered from insomnia all night, Chen Jiancheng had fallen asleep on the sofa.
Wanru couldn't bear to wake him, so she just went to shower and then cooked.
It took over an hour to cook the porridge. She took off her apron and then walked over to the sofa.
She gently sat down on the floor beside his face.
She just sat there, admiring every feature on his face.
His facial features were perfectly sculpted, truly like a character from a story.
His eyebrows were thick and well-defined. She couldn't help but reach out a finger to touch them.
While she was engrossed in playing with his face, Chen Jiancheng suddenly slowly opened his bloodshot eyes, staring directly at her.
Wanru held her breath, quickly pulling her hand back.
Chen Jiancheng looked around, then patted his forehead a few times. Without a word, he slowly sat up.
Li Wanru just stared at him blankly, not speaking.
After he sat up and briefly surveyed the house, he used both arms to lift her by the armpits onto the sofa.
"Come up here, the floor is cold."
She smiled brightly and said, "Are you awake, Uncle? I've cooked porridge, let's eat."
"Mm, do you have eye drops? My eyes are too dry."
"Yes, I do. Uncle, go wash your face in the bathroom, and then I'll put them in for you."
Chen Jiancheng stood up and went into the bathroom. The room was filled with a girl's scent, which suddenly made him feel a little dizzy.
He looked at the pajamas Wanru had changed out of last night and hung on a hanger, then turned to the sink.
Wanru had already scooped the porridge into bowls, she was so happy.
She truly hadn't expected such a relationship to develop between her and Chen Jiancheng.
She watched him walk out, his hair still soaking wet.
He approached, extended his hand, and asked, "Where are the eye drops?"
"Come here and sit, Uncle, I'll put them in for you."
Chen Jiancheng looked at her smiling and didn't say much, obediently sitting down on a nearby chair and tilting his head back.
Wanru, from behind, held his head with one hand, and held his eyelid with the other.
She put in two drops, then paused to let him squint.
Wanru just stood there, watching every gesture on his face, then she whispered, "Can I kiss you?"
Chen Jiancheng opened his eyes and looked at her, seeing the girl in front of him full of anticipation. He just smiled and asked her, "Is it your first kiss?"
She nodded.
"Then you wait, no rush."
"Do you value other people's first kisses?" she asked him, puzzled.
"No, I want your first kiss to be special."
Li Wanru vaguely understood his meaning. The two just looked at each other and smiled.
Chen Jiancheng looked deeply at the girl in front of him, the one who made him feel a stir.
He wouldn't hug, nor would he kiss, because he hadn't officially confessed his feelings.
Even confirming a relationship couldn't be done so casually.
"Are you going to work today, Uncle?" Wanru asked him.
"Not for now, but this afternoon I have to meet a partner. So... I'll be leaving in a bit."
He paused for a moment, looking at Wanru. Seeing her obediently nod, he continued, "If you still feel unwell, call me, understand?"
"Yes!" She nodded.
Around 3 PM, Chen Jiancheng returned home. Half an hour later, Meijin called Wanru, her voice like she was gossiping.
"Ru! Uncle Cheng was out all night and just got back, and now he's dressed up again."
"Is that so?" Ruan Ru chuckled to herself.
"Oh, that's right, why do I suddenly feel like Ru's path to becoming a wealthy wife is getting narrower?"
"Please, no."
"Oh, by the way, Ru, get dressed. I'll pick you up to go out. I'm so sad today."
"Why? What happened to make you sad?"
"Get dressed, I'll tell you later. Remember to dress nicely."
With that, Mei Jin hung up, leaving Ruan Ru on the other end of the line bewildered. But she followed the instructions and got ready. Since she didn't know where Mei Jin would take her, it was best to dress safely.
Ruan Ru chose a silk backless shirt paired with high-waisted jeans. From the front, she looked like a mature, elegant woman. From behind, she was a seductive girl, as the backless shirt and jeans fully displayed her alluring back and figure. She looked at herself in the mirror, thrilled beyond measure. The original owner's physique was truly excellent. Ruan Ru let her hair down naturally; her long black hair made her look even more feminine. Ruan Ru thought to herself, "If there's a next life, may the heavens grant me this face."
Chen Mei Jin drove to pick her up. As Ruan Ru got into the passenger seat, she was stunned. Mei Jin was dressed even more daringly than she had imagined. She wore a short, strapless bodycon dress that revealed her entire thighs and fair shoulders. Ruan Ru frowned and asked, "Aren't you cold?"
"My heart is colder."
Li Ruan Ru: "..." She didn't ask anything further.
A little later, Mei Jin drove her to the entrance of Helling Bar. Ruan Ru's eyes widened. Why did everything have to be so interconnected? Mei Jin took her hand and led her inside, going straight up to the VIP floor. Ruan Ru remembered what Thao My had said; it really was divided into different levels inside. On the VIP floor, there were no boisterous sounds of people shouting and dancing. Only loud music predominated, and everyone there was drinking. The server bowed and led the two to a table. Ruan Ru wasn't sure if she was imagining it, but she felt as if someone was looking at her. Ruan Ru turned to get a jacket and put it on Mei Jin. Mei Jin had reserved a table for two in a rather secluded corner. As soon as they sat down, she poured wine and handed it to Ruan Ru. It was then that Ruan Ru asked, "What's wrong? Can you tell me now, Jin?"
Hearing Ruan Ru's question, Mei Jin's eyes immediately reddened. She drained her glass before answering, "Min Jian's ex-girlfriend is back from Australia."
