Chapter 22 One Egg or Two Eggs

Jiang Liu was originally happily waiting for Wen Yuhua to get off work for dinner.

But open the door.

Hey? Why is there one more person?

Hey? Why is he still a man?

Hey? Why does this man look so much like my best friend's philandering ex-husband?

Hey? Why are they still holding hands?

The ginger pomegranate exploded.

"You you you you , you guys—"

Looking at Jiang Liu jumping up and down, Wen Yuhua quickly broke free from the man's hand, dragged her into the bedroom, and told her everything about yesterday's contract.

“But why do I feel like this is a trap?”

Jiang Liu stared at the man in the living room thoughtfully, "Don't let him sell you out without you knowing it."

"The Lin family is wealthy and powerful, they wouldn't sell out people." Wen Yuhua felt a little regretful now, but she was the one who drafted the contract and she was the man she promised, so there was nothing she could do even if she regretted it now.

"It's okay. After we go back, he and I will sleep in separate rooms. At worst, we can just be roommates."

Wen Yuhua didn't know whether she was comforting Jiang Liu or herself, she patted Jiang Liu's hand.

"Yeah, we have this!"

Jiang Liu took out a black flashlight from the closet and said, "If he gets restless, you can use this to shock him."

She poked forward with her teeth bared. The front end of the flashlight flashed a bluish-white light, accompanied by a hissing sound, which was very scary.

"Here."

The two men looked towards Lin Hechuan as if they were guilty, and then stuffed the flashlight into Wen Yuhua's pocket.

She didn't bring much stuff with her when she first moved here, and now that she's leaving, she's only packed a small suitcase.

The man took the pink suitcase and held the woman's delicate fingers with his other hand.

Jiang Liu clenched his fists and watched the two men leave.

You stinky man, if you dare to treat my best friend badly, I will cut off your offspring!

It was already ten o'clock when the two returned to Floating Cloud Bay.

Wen Yuhua carried her small suitcase and found a second bedroom.

There are many rooms in Floating Cloud Bay, and the servants clean them every day. You can just find a bed and spread out your clothes.

Lin Hechuan shook his head and asked the nanny to cook a few more dishes.

Half an hour later, Lin Hechuan looked at the table full of dishes, glanced upstairs and frowned slightly.

I've called her three times, but this woman still hasn't come down. What the hell is she doing?

There was a noise from the second floor, and the man immediately sat up straight. It turned out to be the nanny who came down. She looked uneasy, "Master, the mistress said she is not hungry today."

"You have to eat even if you're not hungry. Go and get her down."

The clattering sound of slippers became farther and closer, and the nanny stammered, "Master, the mistress said...said..."

"say what?"

Lin Hechuan was already getting a little impatient.

"He said he couldn't eat when he saw you."

Lin Hechuan frowned and snorted, "Don't worry about her, eat it if you want!"

Wen Yuhua had just settled down when Jiang Liu called. She was worried that something had happened to Wen Yuhua, and her voice was a little hurried.

"Lin Hechuan didn't do anything to you, did he?"

"No, I live in the second bedroom and he lives in the master bedroom. The two rooms are a world apart. Besides, I locked the door, so he could only climb in through the window."

As he spoke, Wen Yuhua also looked at the height of the window.

The house is very tall, and it would be difficult for him to climb through the window to the second floor, unless he is Spider-Man.

"That's fine." Jiang Liu felt relieved. "Thinking about it this way, the contract you signed is also a good thing. As long as you act for a period of time, it can be worth 30 million. If it were me, I would definitely agree."

Wen Yuhua nodded in agreement.

"Besides, you loved him so much back then, it would be enough if you only performed one tenth of what you did back then."

Wen Yuhua twitched her lips, and she wanted to slap herself when she thought about the stupid things she had done for men.

The two chatted for a while and were finally interrupted by Jiang Liu's boss.

"Ahhhh, I'm so pissed off. This Huang Shiren must be asking me to work overtime again!"

Jiang Liu was so angry, "Let's talk later, Huabao."

Wen Yuhua 's stomach only lasted until midnight, when it began to growl.

She had only eaten one meal today and had digested it long ago. Now she was too hungry to stand any longer.

After tossing and turning in bed for a long time, she decided to put on her clothes and sneak out to find food.

The kitchen was empty, with only a few vegetable leaves left in the refrigerator. All the snacks she had hidden in the snack cabinet were gone. She didn't know whether they were thrown away or divided up.

But most likely it was thrown away.

In the past, Lin Hechuan didn't allow her to eat snacks when she was at home.

"Didn't the nanny say she prepared a large table of dishes?"

The hungry woman searched the whole house, but all she found was an expired loaf of bread that someone had forgotten in the kitchen cupboard.

The soft bread becomes dry and hard, and it crumbles when you bite it.

Wen Yuhua sniffed. If she had known earlier, she would not have moved here. She could order takeout at Jiang Liu's house, but here she couldn't even see the shadow of the delivery man.

She forced herself to eat half a piece of bread, but she couldn't eat any more.

Just as I was about to put the packaging bag back to its place, there was a "click" and the light above my head came on.

Wen Yuhua was holding the evidence in her hand, with bread crumbs still at the corners of her mouth. She squatted on the ground, looking guilty as a thief, staring blankly at the person who turned on the light.

"I was wondering why I heard some rustling in the kitchen . It turns out there was a mouse stealing food."

Lin Hechuan folded his arms, leaned against the door, raised his eyes slightly, and looked like he was enjoying a good show.

"Didn't you say you didn't want to eat? Why are you here so late to steal something to eat?"

Wen Yuhua stuffed the bread into the cupboard without changing his expression, not realizing at all that he had been caught.

"I'm thirsty, so I came down to get some water."

"I remember there seemed to be water on the second floor?"

"I was afraid of waking you."

Although my stomach is still empty, I no longer feel as hungry as before.

Wen Yuhua stood up, walked past the man and left the kitchen.

"I want to eat it from below. Do you want one egg or two?"

"An egg."

Almost without thinking, the woman blurted out the words as she had done countless times before .

"Aren't you hungry?"

The man had a joking expression on his face and exposed her lie without making a sound.

Wen Yuhua was so angry that she blushed and said, "Do it or not? If not, I'll go to bed."

"Of course I do. I can't let my wife starve."

The man took down the pink apron hanging on the wall and put it on his head.

"Come here and tie it for me."

The man's arms were long, but their flexibility was too poor to reach the straps on his back.

Wen Yuhua frowned, but still helped the man tie the belt.

The night is quiet and the sound of insects is melodious.

Inside the house, only one light was on, in the kitchen.

The mist was hazy and flew to the ceiling along the light.

The pot was bubbling with activity , and the milky white soup gave off an enticing aroma, causing Wen Yuhua's suppressed hunger to resurface, making her even hungrier.

Wen Yuhua held her chin with her hand and looked at the man busy in the kitchen, and her memory went back to two years ago.

The two were very affectionate at that time. Whenever she was hungry at night, the man would make her a bowl of noodles or other delicious food.

It was at that time that Lin Hechuan acquired his cooking skills.
