Chapter 32 Food Temptation
Lin Wan's hand wrapped around Jiang Guier from behind, slipped under her armpit, and tightly gripped the thick envelope.

"You're really not taking me?"

"No!" Jiang Guier answered crisply. Holding the envelope, she returned to the sofa, picked up the pink LV bag she had been carrying for the past two days, unzipped it, carefully put the money inside, and then zipped it up again.

Lin Wan narrowed her eyes. This movement was too subtle. "Guigui'er, tell me honestly what you're trying to do?"

"Go pay the money," Jiang Guier asked knowingly, her smile unusually sweet.

"I don't believe you just went to give me the money." Lin Wan curled her lip. You're kidding me!

Why go to such lengths, bringing cash and personally visiting someone's door, just to give them money?
These three buffs stacked together are very powerful.

Lin Wan stared at the bag that Jiang Guier had already opened, her eyes darting around as she thought and swallowed hard.

Just as she was about to say something more, Jiang Guier seemed to have a premonition and walked right past her.

"What are you going to do?"

"Take a shower and go to bed." Jiang Guier returned to the bedroom without saying a word, quickly went into the bathroom to wash up, and changed into a light pink silk nightgown. The neckline of the dress was not large, but there was a large area of ​​hollow-out and lace between the chest and waist, which made it easy to see through. Fortunately, she also wore a silk cardigan.

The coat was worn over the body, partially concealing the figure underneath. The back of the lace coat featured a butterfly made of large lace pieces, adorned with sparkling rhinestones that shone brightly and caught the eye as the person moved and the light changed.

As she walked out of the bathroom, tying her hair up, and just as she picked up her phone from the bed, she heard rustling sounds outside the door.

"Bang." She opened the door.

Lin Wan hadn't left; she was carrying two huge takeout bags and waving at her, "Hey, Gui Bao, wanna grab some late-night snacks?"

Jiang Guier rolled her eyes, her hand pausing as she was about to close the door. "Why not take it? This is my house, consider it rent."

The tactic of tempting her with delicious food won't work on her; once she's made up her mind, she won't back down.

The main focus is on getting something for free.

She stepped out of the room. "Eat up, I'm just worried you haven't ordered enough."

"Haha, come on over." Lin Wan squinted her eyes. You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. She went all out and ordered sushi from a high-end Japanese restaurant.

Upon opening the box, a wisp of cool white mist could be seen. Jiang Guier exclaimed in surprise, "Rich!"

The wooden box containing sushi and sashimi was divided into three layers. The top layer was a glass plate wrapped in ice packs. The salmon belly on top was cut as thick as a finger joint, with edges that shimmered like mother-of-pearl. The fat lines were like melted amber embedded in the meat, and the cross-section was slightly undulating, with a layer of fine ice beads.

The tuna next to it had an even bigger belly; its bright red to almost purple flesh was translucent, and you could see the fat layer flowing with a soft, oily sheen under the light. It looked delicious.

The Arctic surf clam next to it was cut into symmetrical fan shapes with neatly trimmed edges. The fleshy spines on the inside were clearly visible, like coral dyed with rouge. The perilla leaves underneath were still fresh and wrinkled, with a few ice crystals on the tips.

Just the presentation of this thickly sliced ​​sashimi alone would cost at least 888.

Jiang Guier obediently went to rummage through the drawers in the kitchen counter.

"What are you looking for?"

"mustard."

"Exquisite." Lin Wan's gaze was drawn to the middle layer, where there was hand-rolled sushi. The vinegared rice was tightly packed, but the fish slices on top were so soft and smooth that they seemed to melt at the slightest touch.

The sea urchin sushi and caviar sushi are the most eye-catching.

The orange-yellow sea urchin petals are piled up like a half-open flower, their edges trembling slightly. A closer look reveals the fresh, slightly salty scent of the sea. Beneath, the vinegared rice is sprinkled with translucent fish roe, like scattered diamonds. The individual fish roe sushi pieces, each a glistening orange-yellow, resemble large, round, top-quality South Sea pearls, layered and shimmering within the seaweed roll that encases the sushi.

The skin of the four eel sushi pieces was grilled to a crispy brown, the sauce thickly coating the fish, the edges tinged with a caramel color, intertwined with the tangy and fresh flavor of the vinegared rice, and the patterns pressed out by the bamboo mat were still clearly imprinted on the rice grains.

Just looking at it makes your mouth water and makes you want to take a bite.

The bottom layer features the same sashimi platter as the first layer, with thick slices of salmon belly and red tuna packed together, creating a vibrant and appetizing dish.

Jiang Guier took the wasabi, sushi soy sauce, and her favorite vinegar that she had bought in Japan, along with two small cherry blossom dishes, and sat down next to Lin Wan. She quickly began to mix the sauces.

Lin Wan unpacked the fruit that had been delivered, and Jiang Guier handed over the sauce she had prepared.

"Eat my..."

"Okay." Jiang Guier interrupted Lin Wan, saying it perfunctorily. She picked up her favorite tuna with her chopsticks, watching the fish soak up the sauce, and unconsciously licked her lips.

"It's a deal." Seeing this, Lin Wan didn't say anything more. She picked up her chopsticks, grabbed a piece of tuna, quickly coated it with wasabi, and stuffed it into her mouth. In an instant, the spiciness of the wasabi and the smoothness of the tuna exploded in her mouth.

So delicious!
Jiang Guier kept eating, one piece after another, until the two of them were silently eating takeout and the meal was getting intense.

Suddenly, "ding-dong".

A message popped up on Jiang Guier's WeChat and started ringing incessantly.

She clicked on it and saw that it was a property management group. She clicked in casually, and soon her eyebrows furrowed into a small knot.

Her lips were downturned and pressed into a thin line, clearly she was angry.

"What's wrong?" Lin Wan leaned over to look together. "Is this guy desperate for money?"

It turns out that someone posted a long text and pictures in the community property management group. The pictures were of the last time Jiang Guier almost burned down the kitchen and blocked the chimney, and the firefighters responded to the call.

The text states that due to the previous incident, there was a problem with the kitchen pipes, and the house had been smelling burnt for two weeks, causing great distress to him and his family, as well as psychological trauma and physical difficulties. He is now demanding compensation from the homeowner who made the mistake.

"They probably went bankrupt," Jiang Guier added sarcastically, her fingers flying across the screen as she typed.

Lin Wan quickly snatched her phone and deleted the message she was about to send, word by word.

"What are you doing?"

"Don't send messages, you'll easily get spam." Lin Wan slowly analyzed, "Look, this person hasn't clearly stated their birth year or month, and they're looking for someone from that year or month."

"so what?"

“That means he’s fishing.” Lin Wan put down her chopsticks. “If you scold him, he’ll definitely keep bothering you.”

"Alright, whatever you say." Jiang Guier seized the opportunity, snatched the last piece of tuna sashimi, and stuffed it into her mouth with satisfaction, instantly dispelling her displeasure.

It turns out that delicious food can heal everything.

She picked up her phone and looked at the new messages in the group chat. Sure enough, they were exactly as Lin Wan had said. She was completely impressed.

Sister, you're still the best!
