Forcing Me to Be a Godly Tycoon, Right?-Chapter 1045 - 415: Unexpectedly with Her in the Kitchen...
As a boyfriend, whether it's looks, talent, or personality, he's very suitable. At least when she's with him, she feels fulfilled and satisfied.
Leaning against Zhang Jingdong at the moment, she finally feels a sense of indescribable peace and solace.
Since her parents left, she has been bearing the burden of the family alone, balancing school and work.
During this time, she has endured countless hardships and fatigue.
But despite this, she knows she cannot fall because she has responsibilities.
Yet in the stillness of the night, she also longs for something to rely on.
Even just for a minute, to temporarily forget all the mess life brings, to indulge and rest a bit, she would be satisfied.
And now, in Zhang Jingdong's embrace, she truly feels this.
She feels very comforted.
Over half an hour later, the car slowly arrived at Huangling.
By this time, it was almost 7 o'clock, and the sunset was midway.
Zhang Jingdong turned his head to glance out the window, instantly captivated by the outside scenery!
The well-arrayed Huizhou architecture, the evening smoke rising from kitchens, old waterwheels, green terraces, and chili peppers drying on balconies...
Oh my, how could this world have such beautiful villages!
In his past life, Zhang Jingdong never came here but had seen its beauty in short videos.
But now he suddenly realized those videos didn't capture even a tenth of this real beauty.
In essence, there's a genuine difference between seeing it on screen and experiencing it firsthand.
Zhang Jingdong couldn't help but exclaim, "Your place is so beautiful!"
Jiang Lai regained her senses, sat up, and looked around with excitement, "Honestly, I never realized our place could be so beautiful; maybe because I haven't been back for so long, but now it feels really gorgeous!"
Zhang Jingdong asked curiously, "Where is your house?"
Jiang Lai pointed ahead, "Just follow this road straight; it's the third last house with the red door."
Zhang Jingdong said to Long Yue, "Long Yue, did you hear?"
"I heard."
Five minutes later, the car slowly stopped near Jiang Lai's house.
Exaggeratingly breathing out, Zhang Jingdong said, "Oh, I wasn't that nervous along the way, but how come I feel suddenly tense now!"
Jiang Lai smiled sweetly, "Don't worry, my grandma and sister are very easy-going."
Zhang Jingdong gave a self-mocking smile, "Alright then... let's go!"
The two got out of the car.
Just then, a voice from the second-floor balcony called out, "Sis, you're finally back!"
Soon, a little girl of about ten dashed out of the house to greet them.
Her hair was styled into two beautiful ponytails, with delicate and lively features resembling Jiang Lai by 80%; definitely a beauty in the making.
Jiang Lai pulled her hand while saying to Zhang Jingdong, "She's my sister, Jiang Wan."
Zhang Jingdong gladly said, "That's a lovely name, just as beautiful as yours."
Jiang Lai released Jiang Wan, introducing her shyly and joyfully, "Wan'er, this is Brother Jingdong."
Jiang Wan timidly gazed at Zhang Jingdong, and incredibly shy yet adorably shook her hand, "Hello, Brother Jingdong!"
Zhang Jingdong laughed, "Hello, Jiang Wan!"
Stepping forward, he gently shook his right hand in front of Jiang Wan.
In an instant, a Van Cleef and Arpels bracelet appeared from thin air.
Jiang Lai, having seen his trick before, had developed some immunity.
But it was Jiang Wan's first time seeing it.
Being a child, she hadn't watched Liu Qian's magic on the Spring Festival Gala, so for her, Zhang Jingdong's act seemed like magic!
She looked amazed, "Brother Jingdong, how did you do that?"
Zhang Jingdong smiled mysteriously, "This is called magic by Brother, so, is this bracelet pretty?"
Jiang Wan glanced at the bracelet in his hand again and nodded eagerly, "Yes, it's pretty!"
"Then it's yours!"
Saying so, Zhang Jingdong handed the bracelet to Jiang Wan.
But Jiang Wan didn't take it; instead, she looked at Jiang Lai.
Zhang Jingdong thought the child was truly sensible and gave Jiang Lai a look.
Though hesitant, given she had already accepted Zhang Jingdong's gold jewelry and he had prepared gold jewelry for grandma too.
So, she nodded to Jiang Wan, "Take it, thank your Brother Jingdong."
Jiang Wan, seeing her sister agreed, happily said to Zhang Jingdong, "Thank you, Brother Jingdong!"
She took the bracelet with both hands, admired it, and wore it on her right wrist joyfully.
Jiang Lai asked Jiang Wan, "Where is grandma?"
"Grandma is cooking; she made lots of delicious food today!"
"Didn't I say not to let grandma cook? I'd do it when I get back..."
As Jiang Lai spoke, her pace quickened.
Soon, the three entered through the main gate, seeing an elderly woman with white hair busy at the stove. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
Jiang Lai hurriedly said, "Grandma, you should stop now; let me do it!"
The elder saw Jiang Lai and immediately smiled warmly, "Lailai is back. It's okay; I'm much better these days. I've made your favorite steamed pork, it'll be ready soon!"
Jiang Lai felt both heartache and gratitude.
Her grandma then looked at Zhang Jingdong, "Are you Lailai's boss?"
Zhang Jingdong initially thought her grandma would speak in Gan Province dialect, which he wouldn't understand, but surprisingly, she spoke with a strong West River flavor.
