Just as Xiao Chen was hesitating whether to take a taxi or to walk back to the shop, he suddenly realized that everything in front of him was dark. He looked up and saw a business SUV parked in front of him.
"There are so many places to get off, but you have to get off here.”Xiao Chen cursed, but he still stood up and prepared to make way.
However, when the driver opened the car door, Xiao Chen was stunned. It was Zhang Lingyan, who had visited last night. She was wearing sunglasses and waving at him."Come on up, I'll give you a ride."
"It's not very convenient. I brought a lot of things here. It's not good to dirty your car.”Although Xiao Chen was being polite, his movements were very agile as he carried the two big bags of ingredients and got into the car.
"But you still came up, didn't you?" Zhang Lingyan teased Xiao Chen with a smile.
"Hehe, I have no choice. I bought too many things and don't have any means of transportation. It's best if I can hitch a ride.”Xiao Chen didn't mind. He had already gotten into the car, so it would be meaningless for him to keep his pride.
"Looks like we can have more choices in the shop today.”Zhang Lingyan said as she looked at the two bags in Xiao Chen's hands.
Xiao Chen nodded." Yes, but I won't give you too many choices. After all, I'm alone. There are too many people and I can't keep up. In the future, I'll prepare four dishes a day, two meat and two vegetables.”
"Are you still worried about the number of people? I don't think there are many people coming to your small shop.”Zhang Lingyan teased Xiao Chen.
"That's because they don't know anything about food. Don't look down on my shop. It'll be in a week or two. I'm afraid you might have to make an appointment in advance if you want to come.”Xiao Chen replied confidently.
"Then I'm looking forward to it." Zhang Lingyan nodded in agreement.
The market was only ten minutes away from Xiao Chen's restaurant. It was less than a minute by car. Xiao Chen got out of the car and invited Zhang Lingyan,""Do you want to have breakfast together? It's my treat. Take it as a thank you for giving me a ride.”
"No, I've already eaten in the morning." Zhang Lingyan waved her hand.
"I can't tell if you've eaten or not. Did you stay up late last night? You really don't take your body seriously. Come down and have a bowl. I woke up early in the morning to make porridge.”Xiao Chen exposed Zhang Lingyan's lie.
Zhang Lingyan didn't feel embarrassed at all after being exposed by Xiao Chen. Instead, she stared at Xiao Chen with interest for a long time.""Boss Xiao is so concerned about me.”
"If you don't mind, I'm willing to give it a try.”Facing Zhang Lingyan's teasing, Xiao Chen naturally wasn't shy. He immediately retaliated.
However, Zhang Lingyan wasn't a shy little girl. She got out of the car and said,""If you want to chase me, you might have to pay a lot, but I don't mind having breakfast with you.”
"Then please." Xiao Chen looked at Zhang Lingyan and extended a gentlemanly greeting.
"Xiao Chen, go to the company to park the car first. I'll walk over myself later.”Zhang Lingyan got out of the car and greeted the driver. The driver rolled down the window and nodded. Only then did Xiao Chen realize that the person who was helping Zhang Lingyan was actually a female driver. Although she looked average, her physique was really scary. It was obvious that she was trained.
Watching the car leave, Zhang Lingyan rolled her eyes at Xiao Chen.""Why are you standing at the door with me?”
"I'm just waiting for you to finish your work." Xiao Chen said with a smile. Then, he carried two big bags of ingredients back to the shop.
After Xiao Chen put all the groceries into the fridge, he scooped two bowls of porridge and went to the front hall. He placed them on the table, but he didn't sit down."Wait a minute. I'll fry two egg pancakes. Do you want some onions and garlic?”
"I only want onions. I don't need garlic." Zhang Lingyan replied.
Xiao Chen nodded and went into the kitchen. A moment later, he came out with a plate of freshly baked omelet. Zhang Lingyan could smell the alluring fragrance of onions from afar.
"Just eat something. I just opened for business and I'm lacking too many things. Otherwise, there would be Herbal Tea Eggs to eat.”Xiao Chen pushed the plate of omelet to Zhang Lingyan.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Seeing that Xiao Chen was only sipping on the porridge and had no intention of eating the omelet, Zhang Lingyan asked in confusion.
Xiao Chen waved his hand." No, I don't usually eat much in the morning. I'll just have some porridge. But you have to eat more in the morning. As the saying goes, eat well early, eat well at noon, and eat less at night. You have to follow this saying. Otherwise, you'll die at such a young age. It'll be a big loss."”
"You're cursing me." Zhang Lingyan rolled her eyes at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen smiled." I'm just telling the truth. I really can't bear to see a beauty like you lose weight because of anorexia. In the end, you'll be all skin and bones on the bed."”
Although Xiao Chen was smiling, Zhang Lingyan could still hear the seriousness in his words. She imagined the scene Xiao Chen described, and she couldn't help but shiver. She didn't say anything more, but she ate faster.
Knowing that Zhang Lingyan had taken his words to heart, Xiao Chen nodded in satisfaction. He then put the last bit of porridge into his mouth and said,""Take your time to eat. After you're done eating, go straight to work. I'll go to the kitchen to process the ingredients. If you're free at noon, you can come over for lunch. I wanted to tell you yesterday that you can get a 30% discount when you come to my place to eat.”
"Am I really considered a big sister? I should be an old auntie.”Zhang Lingyan looked up at Xiao Chen and asked.
"Whether you're a little sister or not, it's up to me. If I say you're a little sister, then you are.”Xiao Chen looked at Zhang Lingyan and said.
