With provocative words: "ng Lu sis, guess where I am?"
"Who are you ssaging?" Shen Yuan asked.
"Liew nglu, she's the one who provoked last ti."
"How long will you keep holding grudges?"
"That should be said to her, since she's the one who provoked ."
As soon as the words were out, Liew nglu's video call ca through, followed by a barrage of dissatisfaction: "Qiao Lei, when did you sneak off to Shen Yuan's place without telling ? And to have such a great Western al? Was it made by a private chef? Ahhh, I want to go too!"
"By the ti you get here, he's already off work, next ti, sis ng Lu."
"Is Shen Yuan there? I want to talk to Shen Yuan," Liew nglu said urgently.
"Shen Yuan said tonight he only needs and senior sis," said Qiao Lei.
"Stop making things up, when did I say that."
Shen Yuan snatched the phone from Qiao Lei and said, "Forget tonight, let's do it next ti."
In the video, Liew nglu looked pitiful: "Husband, but I'm missing you~"
Her cheesy tone made Qiao Lei shiver: "That's so cheesy, it gave goosebumps."
"Next ti, behave," Shen Yuan replied.
It was mainly because he had spent a bit too much ti with Liew nglu these past couple of days. Having her co over again would be unfair to Qiao Lei and Long Jinghan.
While it's impossible to be absolutely fair, he also wanted to balance the scales as best as he could.
"Alright, husband, next ti you must properly make it up to ," Liew nglu said, her eyes downcast, making a slight, pitiful request.
Hearing this, Qiao Lei imdiately felt unhappy: "How co it's turned into you needing to be made up to? Last ti when senior had one-on-one ti with you, neither of us asked to be compensated."
Liew nglu imdiately retorted: "But that's not the sa..."
"Enough, enough, fighting over a al, so annoying," Qiao Lei said.
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Shen Yuan cut them off directly, leaving Qiao Lei and Liew nglu with no choice but to hang up the video call and switch their quarrel to a text debate.
After the pan-fried codfish, the main dish was served: a Wellington steak prepared by the bearded chef, the steak was wrapped in pastry, looking very appetizing just by its appearance.
Furthermore, it had mushrooms sauce, ham, and other ingredients inside, offering a rich flavor profile. Shen Yuan cut a piece and tasted it, exclaiming how satisfying it was.
For the girls, this dish was a bit heavy: Ji Ya and Long Jinghan only ate a third, and even Qiao Lei, who had a slightly bigger appetite, managed only half.
The dessert was crè caral with a caralized surface. It was torched to create a crispy crust over the smooth pudding beneath, with a very delicate texture - a hit with all three girls.
And the two Western cuisine chefs, seeing the bosses finish their dessert, tidied up the kitchen and utensils with good judgnt, and cleaned up the dining table before swiftly clearing out.
The remaining four enjoyed their wine and chatted away, with flushed faces on everyone except Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan looked at Long Jinghan, who that day was dressed in a professional and chic fashion in a light blue silk blouse tucked into high-waisted jeans, complented with a pair of silver-frad glasses, exuding a vibe far removed from that of a student.
"Did you miss ?"
Shen Yuan nudged her under the table.
"Hmm, yes, I did miss you," she said.
Long Jinghan's cheeks turned slightly red as she nodded lightly.
But Shen Yuan clearly wasn't satisfied as he tapped his fingertips on the table: "Have you forgotten?"
"Hmm?" Long Jinghan looked puzzled.
"Have you forgotten how I taught you last ti?" Shen Yuan said expressionlessly.
"I..."
Long Jinghan's cheeks turned even redder. She took a sip of red wine for courage, not looking at Qiao Lei and Ji Ya, then whispered softly, "I missed my husband, really missed you. Missed you at work, at al tis, and even more when sleeping. Especially wishing to sleep next to you... and, also really wanting to..."
