When the cruise ship docked, Yuan Xudong led Zhu Suosuo, Jiang Nansun and Wang Manni to disembark and play for a whole day. It was not until nightfall that the four returned to the cruise ship carrying local special ingredients and souvenirs.
After walking into the exclusive restaurant and handing the special ingredients and tips to the waiter, the four of them chose a seat by the window. Yuan Xudong and Zhu Suosuo sat on one side, while Wang Manni and Jiang Nansun sat on the other side, facing each other.
When the waiter served the special delicacies, a white chef came towards him, looked at Yuan Xudong, stretched out his hand and said with a smile:
"Hello, sir, how was the food today?"
“Looks good and tastes really good!”
Yuan Xudong stood up, holding US dollars in his hand and shaking hands with the white chef:
"I would like to borrow the kitchen, is it possible?"
"sure!"
After accepting the US dollars, the white chef said with a smile on his face:
"I won't interrupt your meal with the three ladies. Please enjoy it. If you need anything, please feel free to contact me!"
"alright, thank you very much!"
"You're welcome, I wish you a pleasant meal!"
After the white chef left, Jiang Nansun was eating the delicacies made with the ingredients he selected, while looking at Yuan Xudong diagonally opposite and saying strangely:
"Yuan Xudong, why do you want to borrow the kitchen?"
After glancing at Jiang Nansun who was slightly curious, Yuan Xudong said in a calm voice:
"I'm going to make a bowl of scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Do you want to eat it?"
"fine!"
Thinking that Yuan Xudong was perfunctory, Jiang Nansun rolled his eyes at him, turned to look at Wang Manni beside him and said with a smile:
"Manni, the blue diamond on your neck is so beautiful. It's just like the Heart of the Ocean in the movie. It can't be the real Heart of the Ocean, right?"
Hearing Jiang Nansun say this, Zhu Suosuo, who was sitting opposite her, couldn't wait to wait for Wang Manni's response:
"It's definitely not true. Manni's blue diamond looks relatively small. I checked the information when I was watching the movie. Heart of the Ocean really costs tens of millions of dollars. Manni can't be that rich, right?"
After glaring at Zhu Suosuo, Jiang Nansun looked at Wang Manni and said sheepishly:
"Manni, don't mind. Suosuo is just so carefree. You can say whatever you think, and there is no other meaning!"
"It doesn't matter!"
Wang Manni shook her head slightly, looked down at the dark blue diamond on her neck and explained:
"My boyfriend gave this to me. I don't know how much it's worth. I'll wear it for two days and then return it to him when I get back to Shanghai!"
Hearing what Wang Manni said, Zhu Suosuo couldn't help but said curiously:
"Why did you give it back to him? Don't you like such a beautiful diamond?"
"Of course I do. Such a beautiful diamond is just like the heart of the ocean in the movie. What woman wouldn't like it?"
Wang Manni glanced at Yuan Xudong who was dining quietly, then looked at Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun and said with a smile:
"My boyfriend is dating three women at the same time. I plan to break up with him and give him back all the things he gave me, including this Heart of the Ocean diamond!"
"Are you such a scumbag?"
"Ahem~~"
"Xudong, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay. I'm choking. Please lower your voice. It scared me!"
"Oh, I got it, drink slower!"
After patting Yuan Xudong on the back and waiting for him to return to normal, Zhu Suosuo continued to look at Wang Manni and said angrily on her behalf:
"Your boyfriend is so bad. Even if you don't teach him a lesson, you still want to return his things?"
Without waiting for Wang Manni's response, she continued to talk:
"If it were me, I would sell the diamonds in exchange for mental damages. Wouldn't it be better to find two more people and go to his company to promote it? It would be best to collect some evidence, such as photos, chat records, etc., and give them
He put it on the Internet and let him have a taste of what social death is. If you want to keep it private, you can also ask him to compensate you for a sum of money. What do you think of my idea?"
"Money, money, money, you know money!"
Seeing Zhu Suosuo jumping up and down there, encouraging Wang Manni to clean up herself, Yuan Xudong poked her head with his finger and said:
"Eat more and talk less!"
"Hate it, I didn't tell you anything, why are you so excited?"
After giving Yuan Xudong a blank look, Zhu Suosuo gave Wang Manni a cheering gesture, then started to eat quietly, glanced at Yuan Xudong and Jiang Nansun, Wang Manni looked at Zhu Suosuo and said with a smile:
"Miss Zhu, you are so cute, no wonder Mr. Yuan likes you so much!"
"I like him too!"
Picking up the wine glass and touching it with Zhu Suosuo, Wang Manni took a sip of red wine, then looked at Yuan Xudong and smiled:
"Mr. Yuan, I wonder if you can take me to visit the kitchen?"
"no problem!"
"Nan Sun and I also want to come together!"
Glancing at Zhu Suosuo who was joining in the fun, Yuan Xudong directly pinched her cheek and said with a smile:
"The cruise ship is not owned by my family. At most, two of us can go visit the back kitchen together. You and Nansun should go back and rest early. When we return to Shanghai, can I give you a surprise?"
"What surprise?"
"Keep it secret for now, you will definitely like it!"
"I want to know now, can you tell me?"
"I can tell you now, but when I return to Shanghai, I will give Nansun a surprise. Are you sure you want to do this?"
"I'm sure that Nansun's is mine, please tell me quickly!"
"Forget it, I'm afraid you'll regret it, so I won't say it anymore!"
"No, whoever regrets it is a puppy, tell me quickly!"
"I bought a large yacht, about twenty meters long. Since you don't care about it, I will give it to Nansun. The name of the boat is Laurel Goddess. What do you think?"
Hearing that Yuan Xudong bought a large luxury yacht, Zhu Suosuo opened his eyes slightly, hugged his arm and said coquettishly:
"I hate it, why don't you call me the lock number?"
Glancing at Zhu Suosuo, Yuan Xudong joked:
"Who regrets who is the puppy?"
When he heard Yuan Xudong making fun of him, Zhu Suosuo immediately hugged his neck and whispered shyly in his ear:
"After Nansun falls asleep, can I go over to find you?"
Glancing at Zhu Suosuo who was trying to seduce him, Yuan Xudong leaned into her ear and whispered in response:
"I'm not worried about you coming here alone. After Nansun falls asleep, you send me a message and I'll pick you up. Just put on the same clothes as last time. Do you understand?"
Before Zhu Suosuo could say anything more, Wang Manni put down the tableware and said:
"Mr. Yuan, I'm full. Can you show me the kitchen?"
After asking Zhu Suosuo to sit down and eat, Yuan Xudong glanced at the smiling Wang Manni and said with a smile:
"Ms. Wang, it's meal time now, and the kitchen will be busy. Let's go visit again after a while!"
"Then thank you Mr. Yuan!"
"You're welcome, you should!"
After the meal, Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun were sent back to their rooms. Yuan Xudong returned to the restaurant on the 15th floor. Wang Manni was sitting there alone, looking out the window in a daze.
Walking up to her, Yuan Xudong stretched out his hand and said with a smile:
"Ms. Wang, please come with me. I will take you to visit the kitchen!"
She rolled her eyes at Yuan Xudong and did not let him hold her hand. Wang Manni raised her neck and said arrogantly:
"Mr. Yuan, please lead the way and fulfill your second wish quickly. I can't wait to get rid of you!"
"Yeah?"
Glancing at the pretentious Wang Manni, Yuan Xudong smiled and led the way, entered the back kitchen, said hello to the white chef before, and took some tomatoes and eggs. Yuan Xudong helped next to him, and Wang Manni was in charge of cooking.
While frying eggs, she lectured Yuan Xudong:
"This is the best way to make eggs. The scrambled eggs with tomatoes you ordered are a complete waste of ingredients. It looks like they were cooked casually. You still tip so much. You are really stupid and rich!"
After saying that, she glanced at Yuan Xudong, and when she saw that he had finished cutting the tomatoes, she ordered:
"The eggs are fried, you put the tomatoes in the pan!"
"No problem, pour it all in?"
"all!"
Seeing Yuan Xudong's clumsy appearance, Wang Manni rolled her eyes at him and said:
"Haven't you cooked for yourself?"
“I didn’t have time to cook in my previous life, but I don’t need to cook in this life!”
Staring at Yuan Xudong who was talking nonsense, Wang Manni stir-fried for a while. When it was almost done, she turned off the gas stove, poured the fried tomatoes and eggs in the pot into the dinner plate, handed it to Yuan Xudong and said with a smile:
"Your second wish has been fulfilled, do you want to try it?"
"certainly!"
Taking the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, Yuan Xudong took a bite and said with a smile:
"Wang Manni, the scrambled eggs with tomatoes cost money, but will the scrambled eggs with tomatoes cost you life?"
Seeing Yuan Xudong making fun of herself, Wang Manni quickly picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, her face turned red and she said:
"I'm so busy at work, I don't have time to cook every day. Isn't it just a matter of adding a little more salt?"
After saying that, she reached out to grab the tomatoes and scrambled eggs held by Yuan Xudong and said:
"Don't eat it, I'll make another one!"
"It doesn't matter, I just like salty scrambled eggs with tomatoes!"
Putting out his hand to block Wang Manni, Yuan Xudong finished a plate full of tomatoes and eggs. After a while, he put down the tableware, took out a souvenir from his pocket and handed it to Wang Manni and said with a smile:
"A wish is exchanged for a gift. I ate your scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and this gift will be given to you!"
"I do not want!"
Wang Manni put her hands behind her back, turned away her eyes and refused:
"I have to pay it back to you after I return to Shanghai. It's too troublesome!"
"Take it, it's worthless, it's only a few dozen euros!"
Seeing Wang Manni standing there silently, Yuan Xudong walked up to her, took out her right hand, and said in a deep voice while helping her put on Cupid's bracelet:
“In ancient Greek myths and legends, Cupid, the god of love, has two very special arrows, a sharp arrow made of gold and a blunt arrow made of lead. Anyone who is shot by his sharp arrow made of gold will
The passion for love will immediately be ignited in the heart. On the contrary, if the person is shot by another blunt arrow made of lead, the person will be very disgusted with love.
Once, Apollo offended Cupid, the god of love. Cupid shot the arrow of love at Apollo and the blunt arrow made of lead at Daphne. Daphne immediately became very disgusted with love, but Apollo
Already deeply in love with her.
In order to avoid Apollo's pursuit, Daphne fled to the valley and became a laurel tree. She could not speak or walk freely, and could only stay rooted there alone all her life. This is the story of the laurel goddess!"
After helping Wang Manni put on the bracelet, Yuan Xudong let go of her right hand and promised:
"Nini, you are my Daphne. I don't want you to become a laurel tree that cannot speak and has no freedom. This bracelet is your amulet.
I hope that one day in the future, you can take it off and return it to me. Whenever and wherever you see this bracelet, I will definitely appear by your side!"
