"Naughty boy!" Dong Qingqing's face turned red. "Who would lift their clothes for you to see?"
Realizing he had said something inappropriate, Lu Chen stuck out his tongue and didn't say anything more.
Dong Qingqing leaned against the door and was reluctant to leave. Although she pretended to be watching Lu Chen cooking, in fact, she was just looking at him. After getting along for over three months, she had developed an indescribable feeling for this young man and often dreamed about him. Some of the things that happened in those dreams made her feel rather embarrassed.
Since Lu Chen had practiced martial arts internal skills since childhood, although his skills weren't that advanced, his sensitivity was higher than that of ordinary people. So, he soon felt Dong Qingqing's intense gaze and thought it was rather unusual.
He gradually felt a bit hot all over his body and suddenly asked, "Sister Qingqing, how long have you and your husband been separated?"
"Why should I tell you?" Dong Qingqing was startled for a moment but still answered, "About seven or eight months."
"So long? Wow, then you... then you..." Lu Chen suddenly felt embarrassed to continue asking.
Dong Qingqing was puzzled: "Then what?"
Lu Chen gave a sly smile and finally, on impulse, said, "Then you should have more... that kind of needs, right?"
"Needs? What..." Dong Qingqing was first stunned and then roared, "Naughty boy, I'll tear your mouth apart!" With that, she rushed over.
Lu Chen quickly raised the spatula: "Oh my, I need to take the dish out of the pan. It'll burn."
Anyway, during this dinner, both of them felt rather strange. Dong Qingqing's face remained very red.
After eating for a while, Lu Chen received a phone call. It was from Liu Li, asking him where he was, saying that she had something to tell him and wondered if it was convenient for him to come out and have dinner. She would treat him.
Lu Chen couldn't refuse and just said yes. When Dong Qingqing asked him where he was going, he said, "Well, the boss said she has something to tell me. Maybe it's about a salary increase or giving me dividends? I'll go out first. Sister Qingqing, enjoy your meal."
"Hey, you haven't even finished your meal..."
Dong Qingqing wanted to stop Lu Chen and ask him to finish his meal before leaving, but she couldn't bring herself to say it. Watching him leave, she was stunned for a long time. Facing the extremely delicious food, she couldn't even pick up her chopsticks and had no appetite at all.
Finally, she slapped the chopsticks on the table, touched her burning face, and muttered to herself, "Really, asking me such a thing. How outrageous! Alas, but... Why do I always feel my heart beating so fast?"
Liu Li lived in a community near the Moon's Crescent Pastry Shop. Lu Chen waited for her at the entrance of the community. He had bought a scooter two months ago, and it was quite comfortable to ride. Now he took Liu Li on it to go for dinner.
The scooter was a bit small, and although Liu Li's figure wasn't as voluptuous as Dong Qingqing's, she was still graceful and charming, exuding a certain allure. When she sat on it, her body was pressed close to Lu Chen's, especially on one side of her shoulder, which felt like it was being pushed by a balloon.
Lu Chen thought with emotion: Alas, as a high-quality man like me, wherever I go, good romantic opportunities follow.
He asked Liu Li what the matter was, but Liu Li said she would tell him after dinner.
The place they went to was a medium-sized restaurant. Liu Li said that the steamed dumplings and boiled meatballs here were quite good. After ordering these two dishes along with other signature dishes and they were served, Liu Li ate with great relish. But after tasting a few bites, Lu Chen said, "Hey, hey, these steamed dumplings are a bit lacking in cooking time. Although these meatballs are handmade, the strength used in making them wasn't right..."
Liu Li was surprised: "Xiao Chen, besides making pastries, you can also cook?"
Lu Chen struck a rather stylish pose: "What you see in front of you is a top-notch man crafted by God. What do you think?"
A waiter in the restaurant nearby heard this and muttered dissatisfiedly, probably meaning that Lu Chen was talking nonsense. Lu Chen's face darkened: "Call your boss over. I have something important to tell him."
The rather plump restaurant owner came over. Lu Chen hugged his arm and whispered something in his ear.
The owner's expression first showed a bit of disdain, then turned to surprise, and the surprise then became delight. Later on, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his eyes were filled with infinite excitement as he nodded repeatedly.
After listening, the owner quickly went inside. Not long after, he came out and stuffed a big red envelope into Lu Chen's hand. It was heavy and thick. After the owner walked away, Lu Chen opened the red envelope and saw that there were at least 5,000 yuan inside.
"This is..." Liu Li was stunned.
Lu Chen said seriously: "This is the value of skills. Although I didn't say much, there were only five or six key points, but it's definitely worth this amount, if not more."
"Alright, top-notch man." Liu Li sighed. "Are you hinting that I should give you a salary increase?"
While the two of them were chatting back and forth, there was a bit of a commotion in the restaurant all of a sudden. Then, Lu Chen heard the sound of high heels clicking on the floor.
