Chapter 38

When ordering food, Qin Yuan didn't even look at the menu, so he waved his hand richly: "Serve all your signature dishes here."

The waiter kindly reminded him: "If there are two people, you may not be able to finish it. Our family's portion is quite large..."

It was Yan Liang who took the initiative to intervene to resolve the situation. He looked at the menu, ordered a few signs deftly, and when the other party left, he hurriedly comforted the sullen Mrs. Let the young master welcome you."

Qin Yuan frowned, and raised his chin arrogantly: "That's it..."

But maybe he couldn't bear to spoil this rare good atmosphere, so he didn't finish his sentence.

As if Yan Liang hadn't heard of it, he picked up the teapot on the side and washed the cups and dishes for him as the Romans did, "It's not a coincidence, let's make do with it first, and wait until I finish my work in two days. If you are still here , let's go and have a good meal."

"I want you to make it for me yourself." Qin Yuan curled his lips: "There is an open kitchen in the apartment of the hotel. If you lack any materials, I will ask someone to buy them for you."

... Then I also have time, young master.When Yan Liang thought about the tight schedule ahead, he couldn't help but secretly smiled bitterly.But he didn't have the right to directly refuse. Fortunately, the food he ordered was served at this time, which allowed him to change the topic logically.

There is indeed a reason for this restaurant to queue for such a long time. According to the price/performance ratio, the dishes here are pretty good, with both local characteristics and foreign tastes.

After Qin Yuan ate it, he had already forgotten what he felt uncomfortable about ordering food before—because Yan Liang really understood his taste, and every dish he ordered was exactly what he wanted.In a blink of an eye, several plates were emptied, including the last dessert.

Seeing that he was eating happily, Yan Liang was also in a good mood. He tasted a few mouthfuls of each dish... He didn't dare to eat enough, and there are still a lot of announcements that he needs to appear on camera recently, it would be bad if he got lucky.

It was already past nine o'clock when we returned to the hotel after finishing our meal. Qin Yuan was a little stuffed, but he was afraid to drag Yan Liang around because of paparazzi from all walks of life. .

Yan Liang was going to prepare for the road show after eight o'clock tomorrow morning, afraid that the other party would pull him to do something worse than a beast on a whim, so he said hello and went into the house to sleep.

Qin Yuan stayed alone in the living room. He wanted to be willful at first, but he remembered what happened in the car. For some reason, he couldn't do it for a while.

So the first night passed peacefully.

Yan Liang got up on time the next day, and his phone was already full of condolence messages from Jiang Shu. While brushing his teeth while listening to the voice, the first message was: "That bastard Qin Yuan didn't do anything to you, did he?"

Yan Liang: "..."

He subconsciously looked behind him, and after confirming that Qin Yuan was not there, he typed with one hand and replied: "We just had a meal together."

As a result, as soon as he sent the message, the other party came over as soon as he made a phone call. Yan Liang still had a toothbrush in his hand, so he had no choice but to turn on the speakerphone.

"Hello, hello?" Jiang Shu's voice came from the microphone: "Are you okay, Brother Yan, I'll listen to what you have to say."

"...I'm brushing my teeth." Yan Liang gritted her toothbrush and said dumbfoundedly: "Why, do you want me to play a video for you?"

"Not at all." The other party muttered in a low voice, "I'm not a little worried... Sigh, after all, that kid is really not human."

"Okay," Yan Liang interrupted him, and spit out the foam in his mouth: "You called so early just to make sure I'm safe and sound?"

Although Jiang Shu cared about him, she wasn't nervous enough for that. She probably had business to do.

"Oh, it's just that the director said that there will be a trial screening today. The initial word of mouth is very important, so after the end, I would like to ask you to post a Weibo as a publicity..." He rambled on for a while, Yan Liang listened and finished washing , looked up at the time: "Understood, I will go out to the venue now, you wait for me."

After finally hanging up the phone, Yan Liang bumped into a hard chest as soon as he went out.Looking up, I saw that the young master had been stuck here for some time, with thick dark circles under his eyes, it seemed that he hadn't had a good rest.

Yan Liang greeted subconsciously: "Morning..."

For some reason, Qin Yuan had a nightmare last night. In the dream, he seemed to be trapped in some kind of dark box, with walls all around him, and beyond that, there were some terrifying monsters and ghosts.They surrounded him, screaming at him, sneering at him... Qin Yuan woke up repeatedly, and then fell asleep with severe headaches. He tossed like this until dawn, and the back of his pajamas was soaked in cold sweat and sticky. Glue it to your body.

He was dragging his sleepy mind at the moment, and he wanted to take a bath or something, but he met Yan Liang in the bathroom, who seemed to be talking to someone.

"Who did you call just now?" Qin Yuan said angrily: "Smile so happily?"

...Didn't I smile like this all the time?Yan Liang was slandering, but he also saw that the other party was in an abnormal state. He considered his lines and showed a caring smile: "Wake up so early, why don't you go to bed for a while?"

When mentioning sleep, Qin Yuan thought of that messy nightmare, and his expression became even uglier.But before he got angry, Yan Liang passed him and walked straight to the kitchen: "Let me make you egg custard, just steam it for 7 minutes, you set the alarm clock, when the time comes, take it out and pour soy sauce on it to eat." ..."

There are usually some basic ingredients in the refrigerator, and the egg custard is easy to make, and there is no need to arrange it. Yan Liang is short on time, this is one of the fastest ways for him to get out.

The small calculation in his heart was rattling, and he skillfully turned out the pots and pans, smashed the eggs in and broke them up, and at the same time put the steamer on.

After the egg liquid in his hand has been sieved twice and mixed with warm water, Yan Liang puts it in the boiling steamer, sets the timer, and puts the chopped green onion and the sesame oil and soy sauce that will be poured later in a bowl inside.

After finishing all these steps, it was only about 10 minutes later, Yan Liang walked towards the entrance while wearing his coat, and did not forget to tell the young master on the sofa: "When the timer rings later, you can take out the bowl— —It will be very hot, I put the gloves beside it, pour seasoning on it and eat it.”

"..." Qin Yuan didn't say a word, but he didn't stop the other party from leaving. His eyes slowly looked at the steaming pot on the stove, and his expression obviously eased a lot.

I don't know what happened in this scene, Yan Liang's eagerness to go out slowed down, he paused for a second while putting on his tie, then turned around, and walked towards the somewhat lonely figure on the sofa again.

"There is a dinner tonight. I was already sick yesterday. If I don't show up today, I will inevitably lose my tongue." He explained a few words patiently, and when he saw that the other party didn't listen, he sighed secretly.

"Anyway, I'll try to come back as soon as possible." Yan Liang bent down and kissed the man's frowning brows soothingly.

This wasn't the first time Yan Liang kissed him proactively, but Qin Yuan always felt that this kiss seemed to be different from before.He raised his eyes in a daze, and met the slightly curved eyes of the man, always felt that the young man's eyes seemed a little more gentle...

But Yan Liang has always been very gentle.

The young master was a little tangled and confused, the throbbing feelings came so unexpectedly that he couldn't even remember what he wanted to say, and just watched the other person leave slowly.

In the end, the sound of the timer came from the kitchen, and the restless ringing woke up the people in another world——Qin Yuan stood up a little flustered, almost tripped by himself, and then slowly stood firm with a sullen face.

He walked into the kitchen, took the egg custard out of the steamer according to the other party's instructions, and poured the seasonings on it—the temperature just out of the pan stimulated the aroma of the seasonings, which rushed towards the face along with the water vapor, making people move their index fingers.

Qin Yuan casually pulled up a chair and sat down beside the stove, took a bite of a spoonful of light yellow and tender egg custard, blew on it twice, and slowly put it into his mouth.

... It tastes very ordinary and homely. If there is any difference, it may be that he hasn't eaten it for a long time.

In fact, if he really wants to eat, he can find someone... There are many people who are willing to cook for him, not necessarily Yan Liang...

But why, he only wants Yan Liang?

"..."

Qin Yuan frowned.

At this moment, the phone rang suddenly, and Xue Yan brought new news.

Their plan has been successful so far, but as things get bigger and bigger, they need a professional team to manage them.There are not many people Qin Yuan can use, and coupled with the current situation of walking on thin ice, there are even fewer people who can be trusted... But not long ago, when Xie's family was in financial crisis, he took the opportunity to lend a helping hand, making the other party owe him a lot favor.

And the overseas company of the Xie family was also on the verge of bankruptcy. Qin Yuan took the opportunity to acquire a large amount of equity—of course, he did not use his own name, but pushed someone he trusted to come to power and became an invisible shareholder of the Xie family.

Now the other party has almost figured out the taste, and instead took the initiative to seek cooperation from them, and Qin Yuan also had this intention and asked Xue Yan to contact them on his behalf.

What the other party said now is that the conversation is almost done... Of course it is a good thing that everything goes well, but Qin Yuan still asked Xue Yan to give him a trial period before proceeding to the next step.

If this matter is done well, it will be a win-win situation, and Xie's company will be brought back to life. For this reason, they are more willing to do their best for Qin Yuan.

And Qin Yuan also took this opportunity to ask Xue Yan to send the contract over for him to have a look again. It took more than two hours, they carefully considered several places, and asked the legal affairs officer to proofread it again.

When he finally hung up the phone, Qin Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, and then remembered the egg custard he had just eaten on the table.The temperature when it was freshly baked has long since dissipated. Although it is still delicious and tender, it is cold after all, and it has lost the original surprise.

Qin Yuan did not always choose to dump it, but ate it up after a brief silence.
