novelBring Me A Bottle of Coke
| ← Ch.082 | Ch.084 → |
The tomato at the bottom of the small pot began to boil. She could not wait to put the beef slices in. After waiting for seven or eight seconds, the beef slices entered her mouth wrapped in sesame paste. The taste was amazing!
Xiang Xiaoyuan felt that every pore in her body had opened up because of the taste of the beef slices. Even her soul had been satisfied.
When Lu Bei came back in the evening, he went straight upstairs after a few bites of dinner because his body was uncomfortable. Before he went to sleep, he experienced what it meant to be so hungry that he could not sleep. He had no choice but to get up and go downstairs to find something to eat. However, when he reached the stairs, he smelled a strong fragrance.
Turning around, he happened to see Xiang Xiaoyuan eating hotpot while watching TV. She looked so carefree. Obviously, the fragrance he smelled was what Xiang Xiaoyuan was eating...
Xiang Xiaoyuan heard footsteps and looked up. She saw Lu Bei standing at the corner of the stairs and politely asked, "It's a hotpot, do you want to eat it together?"
At that moment, many excuses were flashing across his mind, but his legs did not listen to his brain. By the time he came to his senses, he was already in the living room and standing in front of Xiang Xiaoyuan.
Lu Bei: "..."
His legs had rebelled.
It was probably because the previous few meals were rather pleasant. Although his relationship with Xiang Xiaoyuan had not progressed much, the two of them were still considered harmonious. He was not resistant towards her, so he did not reject her invitation.
Xiang Xiaoyuan lowered her head and ate a fish ball. Her voice was muffled as she said, "Go to the kitchen and get some bowls and chopsticks. Help yourself to the seasoning. Also, help me get an ice-cold coke from the fridge."
Lu Bei: "???"
He was silent for a second, but he still went to the kitchen to get some bowls and chopsticks for himself. He also brought Xiang Xiaoyuan the coke she asked for and a bottle of sprite for himself.
Hotpot with carbonated drinks was the paradise for foodies!
Lu Bei was so hungry that he could not sleep. He sat across from Xiang Xiaoyuan without any courtesy, and didn't stop taking food in the small pot with his chopsticks.
When Xiang Xiaoyuan ordered hotpot, she did not expect Lu Bei to suddenly come downstairs. She only ordered for one person. It was the kind of portion that she could not finish by herself, but not enough for two.
Lu Bei was in a growing phase. His appetite was big to begin with. Coupled with the fact that he had been doing physical work for the whole day, the ingredients that Xiang Xiaoyuan bought were far from enough.
"Let's see if there's anything in the kitchen that can be put in the hotpot." Xiang Xiaoyuan stood up.
Lu Bei didn't have the nerve to continue sitting there. After Xiang Xiaoyuan stood up, he followed her to the kitchen. The ingredients in the fridge were quite abundant. She found a lot of prawns, fat beef rolls, fat lamb rolls, and a lot of vegetables.
She looked at the manicure she had just done and then at Lu Bei, who was standing at the kitchen door in a daze. She thought that since she was not the only one eating these things, it would be okay for him to do some small things, right? She was the one who bought the hotpot.
Thinking of this, she said, "Do you mind helping me?"
Lu Bei looked at her with a puzzled expression."What?"
"It's not much." Xiang Xiaoyuan pointed at the prawns."It's very simple. Wash these prawns. Half of them will go straight into the hotpot, and the other half will be made into shrimp balls. It will be very delicious."
Lu Bei: "..."
It didn't sound too difficult.
He nodded."Okay."
"Also, wash this baby vegetable and lettuce. Cut the sweet potatoes into thin slices and put them into the hotpot. They'll be sweet and sticky."
"Okay."
Seeing that Lu Bei had agreed, Xiang Xiaoyuan let out a sigh of relief.
It had to be said that the male protagonist of this book was easy to get along with. He was not as difficult to get along with as described in the novel. Look at the male protagonist who was washing the prawns. How obedient was he? He even knew that he had to rely on labor to compensate for his talking.
Xiang Xiaoyuan could accept the male protagonist. She was most afraid of meeting the kind of male protagonist who thought that they were the best in the world and everyone were all slaves. Then, she would divorce Lu Wanggui at any moment and stay far away from the stupid male protagonist.
...
Lu Wanggui's video conference ended much earlier than he had expected. In the car, he sat in the backseat with his eyes closed, unable to hide the tiredness between his brows.
The driver dutifully asked, "CEO Lu, are we going back to the hotel or the villa?"f𝗿𝙚𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝙣o𝙫𝚎l - 🅽🅽novel
Lu Wanggui took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose."What time is it now?"
The driver replied, "10:30."
Lu Wanggui recalled that today was his son's first day at work. In addition, it wasn't too late, so he said, "I'm not going to the hotel. I'm going back to Repulse Bay Villa."
"Okay."
At this time, there was no more traffic. On the way to Repulse Bay Villa, there were even fewer cars. The car traveled smoothly, and the driving time was much shorter than before.
