Qiao Nuo returned home feeling particularly joyful. If only her father showed signs of awakening, she would be even happier!
To her surprise, Jin Chengyan was also there. His visits to Jin Mansion were irregular; he might come for two or three consecutive days when he was in a good mood, but if he got busy, he could be absent for a week.
Today, after leaving the hospital, she had gone to the supermarket and bought a variety of fresh ingredients. Initially, she had planned to have dinner with Huo Yawen, but he had been called away for surgery. No matter; there would be plenty of opportunities in the future!
She placed the groceries in the kitchen and decided to ask Jin Chengyan if he wanted to stay for dinner, as she wasn’t sure if he had other dinner plans that evening.
Jin Chengyan had already changed into his loungewear and was sitting on the sofa watching a drama.
It was hard to imagine a man like Jin Chengyan sitting on the sofa watching television after work, especially a romance drama.
“Jin Chengyan, do you want to stay for dinner?” After spending some time together, Qiao Nuo felt comfortable enough to call him by his name directly; it wouldn’t make sense to address him as “Mr. Jin” for four years!
Jin Chengyan pulled his gaze away from the screen. He could clearly sense her joy from the moment she spoke. This was the first time he had heard such a cheerful tone from her since he had rescued her on that rainy night.
“Hmm,” Jin Chengyan replied briefly before turning back to the television.
“Then I’ll go cook! Just wait for your meal!”
This time, Jin Chengyan truly focused on her words. The former young lady of the Qiao family cooking? Surely she wouldn’t whip up something disastrous!
He had come here no less than ten times, but it was the first time he had seen Qiao Nuo cooking. What if she burned the kitchen down later?
“Don’t look at me with that doubtful gaze. Before I decided to become an architect, my dream was to be a chef!” It was just that her family had gone bankrupt; rather than saying she rarely cooked, it was more accurate to say she didn’t have a kitchen to cook in.
Later, when she moved to Jin Mansion, there were so many things to deal with that she preferred to pack food to eat, saving time.
“If your father knew you had this aspiration, he would probably faint from shock.” As soon as Jin Chengyan said it, he felt it was inappropriate, but seeing Qiao Nuo’s expression, there seemed to be nothing wrong; instead, there was a strange excitement in the air.
Qiao Nuo didn’t feel any bitterness when Jin Chengyan mentioned her father. Things were getting better; she couldn’t afford to be pessimistic.
“Just wait and see!” Qiao Nuo cheerfully ran into the kitchen, put on an apron, and started preparing dinner for the day.
At some point, Jin Chengyan had walked into the kitchen and leaned against the doorframe, watching Qiao Nuo skillfully wash and chop vegetables. In that moment, he felt an almost surreal sensation.
Qiao Nuo looked up and saw Jin Chengyan. Perhaps because she was in such a good mood today, she playfully told him, “I signed a letter of intent with a company today! I’m going to sell eighty apartments soon! They have no reason to kick me out anymore!”
When she said this, her face radiated the joy of a victor mixed with a hint of pride. Although Huo Yawen had helped her, her goal had been achieved, and she was letting Jin Chengyan know that there were no obstacles for her at the company!
Jin Chengyan didn’t say anything; he merely smiled slightly. So this was why she was so happy today!
That kid from Yan An City was quite quick on his feet!
“And you know what? I also ran into the brother who lived next door when I was a child. I used to play with him all the time back then. But later, his family immigrated. My father’s business grew bigger and bigger, and we moved away from there too. Do you know how wonderful it is to reunite with childhood friends?” She didn’t have anyone to confide in, and since Jin Chengyan happened to be standing at the door, she didn’t know how much he was actually absorbing; she just kept talking.
“Next door... Brother?” Jin Chengyan said with a hint of intrigue in his voice, “Childhood sweethearts, huh?”
Qiao Nuo didn’t look up, so she missed the peculiar expression that flashed across Jin Chengyan's face.
