A light blush appeared on Ye Linlang's porcelain-white face. Fortunately, she forced herself to hold back and prevented herself from actually spraying out the orange juice.
—What does it mean to “understand these young people, and if you really can’t help it, remember to take protective measures”
Although she knew that Jiang Qiran's mother had no ill intentions, Ye Linlang still felt embarrassed and flustered after just a few words, and had no idea what to do!
Compared to Ye Linlang's panic, Jiang Qiran was so frank that it was hard to tell what had just happened. He raised his thin lips slightly, breaking the awkward situation first.
"Mother, are you kidding me? I am your son, and I am certainly not the kind of person who would do anything reckless."
Jiang Qiran spoke so confidently that Ye Linlang felt embarrassed. She didn't know whether to say that Jiang Qiran was too thick-skinned or shameless.
Woo woo woo, it’s all Jiang Qiran’s fault. Her lifelong reputation is ruined in an instant!
Su Wan looked at Ye Linlang and Jiang Qiran with a smile on her face. Seeing the young couple, she always felt like she was back in her student days.
Forget it, my son knows it well.
Even if he really did something to the girl, she and Jiang Xuecheng had already let Jiang Qiran decide his own life affairs.
Rather than exchanging interests through a so-called marriage, it would be better to let Jiang Qiran happily choose a wife he likes.
"Okay, I'll go back to the kitchen then."
Su Wan's eyes were curved, and they rested on Jiang Qiran's face meaningfully.
"Qiran, you are not allowed to bully the little girl."
Ye Linlang was already extremely embarrassed. Her eyelashes kept trembling and she was too embarrassed to look at Su Wan.
Jiang Qiran nodded gracefully.
"Okay, I will take good care of Linlang."
…
After Su Wan left, Ye Linlang immediately felt relieved.
In fact, Jiang Qiran's mother seemed very easy to get along with, but the scene just now was too embarrassing. After all, Ye Linlang was very young and very thin-skinned, so she had no idea how to deal with this situation.
She put down the glass of orange juice in her hand and immediately hit Jiang Qiran's arm angrily.
"It's all your fault... I think I will be regarded as a frivolous person in your mother's eyes from now on. What should I do..."
As Ye Linlang spoke, her eyes turned red with anxiety.
Jiang Qiran curled the corners of his lips nonchalantly and reached out to touch the ends of Ye Linlang's hair.
"What does that matter? My mother isn't a particularly conservative person."
"And," Jiang Qiran paused, his voice was gentle and clear, and his dark eyes were filled with a mischievous smile.
"We will get engaged after we graduate from high school. We will live and eat together in the future. Isn't that reasonable?"
Ye Linlang was defeated by Jiang Qiran's god-like theory.
The corners of her lips lingered, and she finally thought of how to fight back against Jiang Qiran.
“But we haven’t graduated yet…”
She murmured softly, she used to feel that time passed so quickly, but now it suddenly slowed down. If possible, she really wanted to skip to after graduating from high school.
At that time, she should not have the academic pressure. Even if she failed to be admitted to Zhaohua University in Kyoto, she should have stayed in Kyoto, in the same place as Jiang Qiran.
In college, she can leave that dilapidated home with a clear conscience, find some part-time jobs, and if she works hard, she can consider applying for a scholarship.
She is self-reliant and doesn't have to depend on the Ye family to survive.
The more Ye Linlang thought about it, the more she looked forward to it.
If only time could go faster, so that after graduating from high school, everything would return to the track of happiness
…
Jiang Qiran put his arm around Ye Linlang's shoulders, with a doting smile on his lips.
"Silly girl, high school graduation will happen very quickly, there's no need to be so sad."
Ye Linlang smiled and nodded, silently making many wishes in her heart.
Now she is in high school and has a lot of study pressure. She doesn't have time to work part-time. When she goes to college, her studies won't be so busy. She wants to repay Jiang Qiran.
It's not always possible for a boyfriend to buy things for her, right? Even if she couldn't return such an expensive gift, she would still give Jiang Qiran something within her means.
"Well, you can't regret it after you graduate from high school."
"Of course, who else could I marry besides you?"
The two teenagers snuggled on the sofa, smiling sweetly.
There is no sorrow in the prime years. If you are by my side, even if there are grievances and sadness, it can become the best time.
…
It took me about an hour in total.
Jiang Xuecheng, the chef, and Su Wan, the assistant, finished preparing the dish.
There was a dish of Huadiao lemon drunken shrimp, a charcoal-grilled steak, a tomato egg drop soup, a caviar kale salad, a steamed hairy crab, and fresh Alba white truffle slices with red wine foie gras.
On the long golden nanmu table, red roses with water droplets bloomed, and the dishes were spread out on a hand-embroidered white blanket, which made the dishes even more colorful.
Ye Linlang looked at them and couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.
Although she hadn't started eating yet, she could smell the aroma, some of which she had never smelled before.
Ye Linlang pointed curiously at the dish of Alba white truffle slices and red wine foie gras and asked Jiang Qiran.
“Is that ingredient mushroom?”
Hearing Ye Linlang's words, Jiang Xuecheng, who had just sat down, glanced at her indifferently and spoke a few words.
"This is a slice of Alba's white truffle, a type of wild mushroom, or you could say a mushroom."
Seeing the man with stern features answering her, Ye Linlang was almost flattered!
But when Ye Linlang heard such a long string of terms as Alba white truffle slices, she became even more confused.
What it is
Seeing Ye Linlang's puzzled look, Su Wan smiled slightly and picked up a piece for Ye Linlang.
"Try it. White truffles have always been praised as gold on the table. Scarcity makes things valuable. This is mainly because it is rare and must be in the right season."
"When Xuecheng heard that you two were coming, they specially had it flown in from Italy. It's been less than half a day, so it's very fresh."
Jiang Qiran was slightly stunned when he heard this.
He knew that the production of white truffles was very small, less than one-tenth of the larger annual production of black truffles. If you missed the season, you would not be able to eat them no matter how rich you were.
He thought that it was sent by his subordinates in the company so that Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan could have a taste of it.
But they didn't expect that Jiang Xuecheng heard about their return and specially sent people to airlift them from Italy.
After all, Jiang Qiran had never enjoyed such preferential treatment since he was a child. Jiang Xuecheng only cared about Su Wan's feelings but often ignored himself.
Does my father mean that he attaches great importance to this family dinner by doing this
He picked up a piece of white truffle. Even though he had eaten it before, he suddenly felt that it tasted inexplicably better this time.
