Chapter 342 Covet 12

Tingqiao didn't understand the look in his eyes.

She thought that she had only known him for a short time and couldn't accurately interpret his meaning...so she didn't think about it at all.

Besides, she now wanted to deal with the cake on the table.

Except for the piece of cake that she had just politely cut for Lan Qi, she ate the rest of the cakes at a very fast speed.

Tingqiao had no sense of being the host at all. He was so focused on eating that he didn't even think about chatting with the 'guests'.

The 'guest' didn't seem annoyed at being neglected.

Lan Qi just looked at her quietly without saying a word to disturb her.

The living room was quiet, with no sound of talking.

Until she finished the cake.

Lan Qi just remembered that he should have gotten up and left long ago. He had already been sitting there for five minutes...

Maybe he accidentally forgot.

But now doesn't seem to be the right time to suggest leaving... He said he was leaving just after she finished eating the cake. Doesn't it seem wrong?

It was as if he had come in specially to see her and wait for her to finish the cake.

So he looked at the small piece of cake in front of him and suddenly said, "If you haven't eaten enough, here's another piece."

"No need, this is agreed to be for you." Tingqiao stood up and walked to the kitchen, took out a plate of cut fruits from the refrigerator. They were icy cold and very sweet.

"I..." Lan Qi hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, thank you."

But the cake was not touched.

Actually, he wanted to say that he didn't really eat sweets, but...

Lan Qi thought, maybe he didn't want her to know about his eating habits.

Tingqiao raised his eyebrows and thought he was really weird.

These cakes were all brought back by him.

And even though she transferred the money, he didn't take it.

Maybe this is his habit?

Tingqiao sat back on the cushion between the sofa and the table. She felt that the sofa was too high, so she thought about having someone come and move it away tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and then replace it with another one.

"Those pots of red flowers on your balcony are quite pretty. What kinds are they?" Since she was thinking about the decoration of the living room, she couldn't help but think of the pots of flowers on his balcony.

I feel like I quite like Listening to the Bridge.

Lan Qi lowered his eyes and looked at the cake in front of him, as if hesitating about something. He replied two seconds later: "The red dragon sand gem is the rose."

He picked it up randomly while passing by the flower market. It looked wilted at first and he thought it would not survive, but it eventually started to grow better.

Does she like this flower?

...Or does she want to plant the same flowers as him?

He couldn't help but think about the deeper meaning behind her every move.

Tingqiao's eyes lit up and he immediately wanted to ask for a pot of flowers. In the blood clan, if a strong person takes a fancy to something, he will just take it without caring who its owner is.

Although she learned some manners and politeness during this year, it was not much.

But when the words were on her lips, she remembered the cake she had just eaten and decided to hold back a little, "Where did you buy it?"

For a moment, Lan Qi thought she wanted to ask him directly for it, so she opened her mouth and said, "...I'll have someone bring a few pots to you."

They were just a few pots of flowers, nothing much to him.

Tingqiao was not polite this time, "Okay."

Then there was silence again.

Lan Qi is not a talkative person. Tingqiao... Tingqiao is eating fruits with a crunching sound. Each piece is sweet and crispy.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with the atmosphere at the moment.

Lan Qi glanced at her, then at the cake, thinking it was time to leave, but she turned around and asked him, "Do you want to watch a movie? I haven't tried the audio-visual equipment in this living room yet."

Lan Qi: “…What movie?”

Tingqiao had already put down the fruit plate, took out the remote control from under the table, opened the video library, and looked through the various movies in it. "Action movie? Gun battle movie?"

Maybe I can understand the current military strength of the human race... Well, it may be a fantasy.

Lan Xi took three or four seconds to speak, and his words were as concise as ever. "Either is fine."

This gave her the right to choose, and Tingqiao didn't hesitate and quickly selected the most popular action movie to play.

"By the way," she suddenly turned to look at him, "is it time for dinner?"

Lan Qi: "...Are you hungry?"

His eyes fell on the small piece of cake that was left.

I didn't ask her to finish the rest of the piece. I've already asked her once, and she definitely wouldn't agree...

"Well...it's time to eat." She certainly didn't feel hungry, she just wanted to eat, "Let me order some food."

The villa area here does not allow takeout, so she will have to go out to get it later. In fact, most people who live here will hire a housekeeper, but she hasn't chosen one yet. She wants to find one who can cook all kinds of cuisines and eat different meals every day.

Lan Qi wanted to say something but stopped himself. He wanted to say that it was not necessary, that he could actually go back and eat, or not watch the movie... In the end, he couldn't say it out loud and could only respond vaguely.

"Can you handle spicy food? I want to try this spicy chicken."

"……Can."

“Is rice okay as a staple food?”

"Um……"

"And these few...do you think they're okay?"

"Can……"

"I would like to add..."

"……Um."

After ordering dinner, the movie that had been paused started again.

Tingqiao then realized that this action movie seemed to have comedy elements as well, but she just didn't understand the funny part.

Lan Qi was not amused by the movie either. Firstly, he had a high sense of humor, and secondly, although he knew the gags used in the movie, he didn't understand what was so funny.

So in the dim scene, accompanied by the noisy laughter of the movie characters, these two good-looking faces almost showed a little confusion.

At this moment, they had a brief tacit understanding.

The movie soon ushered in the first fight scene. The two conflicting protagonists were surrounded by a group of men in black suits, and finally had to join forces to deal with it... In the middle, the two of them even secretly attacked each other.

Tingqiao held her chin and watched for a while. She felt that these people didn't fight very well. So many people couldn't suppress two people. Their physical fitness was obviously not bad... Then she thought, this was probably the plot arrangement.

Suddenly, an idea struck her, “I want to shoot a video!”

Lan Qi: “…”

Tingqiao immediately turned around and asked the only person present for approval, "What do you think?"

Of course, she had already made the decision, and it didn't matter whether he agreed or not.

Lan Xi barely followed her train of thought, "...Do you want to be a director or an actor?"

Listening to the bridge was even more surprising.

"Tell me about what a director is supposed to do? What about the actors?"

"..." Lan Qi seemed to be burned by her gaze and quickly looked away. After a while, he told her everything he knew and added, "...I can introduce you to people in related industries. You can consult them if you want to know."

Tingqiao is now very interested in both directors and actors.

Both were new to her and she wanted to do both.

This seems more fun than being a bodyguard!

……

As a result, Lan Qi stayed at Tingqiao's house for three or four hours.

When leaving with the cake, Lan Xi looked back at the closed door a few times.

Then there was a long silence.

He had clearly been rejecting her, but she still found opportunities to get close to him... Now, he had to admit how amazing she was.

And I warned myself to be more wary of her.
