Before Wan Ning could say anything, her stomach growled several times. She immediately held her stomach. It was so embarrassing.

"Sorry, I haven't had time to eat yet."

Seeing this, Tan Jianghai frowned and immediately rolled up his sleeves: "What dishes are there at home? I'll help you cook?"

"Ah, no, no, no."

Wan Ning quickly got up and followed Tan Jianghai to the kitchen.

After checking the refrigerator, they found only a bunch of vegetables.

"Want some noodles? I see there are some noodles in your cupboard."

"Oh, eat. I like noodles. Mr. Tan, you haven't eaten yet, right? I'll make it."

Tan Jianghai used his arm to block her from grabbing the food. "No, you go and rest, I'll do it."

As the two were pulling each other, Tan Jianghai suddenly grabbed Wan Ning's hand, while Wan Ning grabbed half a bundle of green vegetables with one hand.

Wan Ning's hands were white, slender, and well-proportioned, just like her.

Tan Jianghai touched Wan Ning's delicate and smooth hand, paused for a moment, and immediately let go.

Wan Ning was so embarrassed that he actually let go of his hands, and the vegetables fell into the pool.

It was Tan Jianghai who held Wan Ning's arm and said, "You must be tired after being so busy. Go take a rest and eat some fruit. I'll take care of the rest."

Then he pushed Wan Ning out of the kitchen with gentle yet strong force. Wan Ning stood in the living room and saw him close the kitchen door and go in to wash the vegetables. She thought about it and decided not to argue.

She just sat on the sofa, touching her right hand in a daze.

Just now, Tan Jianghai's big hand, with a little roughness and warmth, touched her right hand.

(Could it be that he is interested in me?)

Wan Ning frowned. She felt that in front of her, Tan Jianghai had lost all the coldness and shrewdness that he had when they first met. Instead, he was considerate in every way, like a brother next door.

And it seems that the two of them have only met twice. Could it be that they developed... uh, a different feeling so quickly?

Sitting on the sofa, Wan Ning stared at the shopping bag the other party brought and rummaged through it. There were some fruits, cakes, and bread, all of which were sweet and sour.

Thinking about it carefully, the boss Tan Jianghai was a pretty good person. He was handsome, capable of making money, and he was easy-going and kind to her, and considerate in every way.

"Huh," Wan Ning had just sighed when Tan Jianghai opened the kitchen door.

"Whatever fruit you want to eat, bring it here and I'll wash it. I also bought some bread, so you can use it as a snack first."

Wan Ning quickly smiled and nodded: "Okay, I see, I'll have a small piece of bread!"

As she spoke, she shook the soft and fragrant bread she had picked up. Tan Jianghai nodded and went back to the kitchen.

After Wan Ning opened the package, he started eating.

After taking two bites, she stood up and walked towards the kitchen. Standing at the door, she saw Tan Jianghai cutting vegetables on the chopping board. He bent over and held the knife, looking quite skilled.

"Are you going to make stir-fried noodles?"

Hearing Wan Ning's voice, Tan Jianghai looked up at her and said, "Yes, eating this way gives it a different flavor."

Wan Ning nodded immediately: "It seems that Mr. Tan is a good cook. Does he cook often?"

"I do it once in a while. I don't have time normally."

After that, Tan Jianghai cut the vegetables, rinsed the chopping board, and put it back in place.

Wan Ning stood at the door and watched Tan Jianghai put on the floral apron he had bought, then turned on the fire and poured oil.

Wan Ning smiled, closed the door and went to the living room to wait. After a while the noodles were ready and everyone had a bowl.

"Hmm," Wan Ning took a bite and said, "It tastes good. It's delicious. Mr. Tan is awesome."

Wan Ning smiled and gave him a thumbs up, while Tan Jianghai smiled and nodded: "I haven't done this for a long time, thank you for the compliment."

After eating, Wan Ning quickly rushed to wash the dishes.

When she came out of the kitchen, Tan Jianghai was still looking at his cell phone.

Seeing Wan Ning coming out, Tan Jianghai pointed to the seat next to the sofa and said, "Sit down and take a rest."

"Mr. Tan, are you busy? I'm fine here, you can go back early."

Tan Jianghai put away his phone, crossed his hands and tapped his legs: "I was just messaging my family. I've finished working on things for today."

Hearing his words, Wan Ning was about to nod when she heard Tan Jianghai speak again: "Can I make a request?"

"Ah, what is it, Mr. Tan, please tell me."

Wan Ning didn't expect that the other party had something to say to him, so he immediately sat up straight.

"Maybe my actions weren't obvious enough, or maybe you didn't notice. What I wanted to ask is, can we date, as boyfriend and girlfriend?"

"Ah." Wan Ning didn't expect that his boss would say such a thing directly: "Boss Tan, are you telling the truth?"

Tan Jianghai nodded: "You don't have to call me Mr. Tan. We are friends. Just call me Jiang Hai."

When he said these words, there was no shyness, happiness, or any other expression on his face. It was as if he was talking business or discussing things with a client.

Wan Ning looked at him carefully and finally smiled.

Seeing Wan Ning smile, Tan Jianghai was startled, and then he smiled as well: "Why, do you agree with my proposal, or do you think I'm joking?"

Wan Ning smiled and shook her head: "No, Tan... Jiang Hai, I don't think you are joking."

Seeing that Tan Jianghai was looking at him seriously, Wan Ning continued, "I can feel that you treat me differently, but I want to ask, when did you feel that..."

"From the first time I saw you," Tan Jianghai directly quoted Wan Ning's words: "When we first met at the airport, I felt different about you. I never felt this way before you."

The other party said it seriously... um, a confession. Wan Ning thought it was a confession.

After thinking about it, Wan Ning nodded.

The next moment, Tan Jianghai's eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his lips: "Okay, I'll tell my family that I'll go over for dinner next week."

He just said that he could try dating, and now he's going to meet the parents: "Mr. Tan, there's no need to be so fast!"

Tan Jianghai smiled and said, "It's getting late. There are still nine days until next Sunday, which is enough time for us to get to know each other."

"Haha, Tan... Jianghai, I think you are discussing a project now. It seems like you are not in love, but doing business."

Wan Ning always wanted to call him Mr. Tan. Tan Jianghai smiled to himself, then stood up and prepared to leave.

This time Wan Ning did not go downstairs, but sent him to the door.

"Then, see you tomorrow."

Wan Ning smiled and nodded: "Okay, see you tomorrow."

After that, Tan Jianghai took the elevator downstairs. Wan Ning looked at the number key of the elevator until it reached 1 before turning back to the house.

The next day was Friday, also the busiest day. When it was almost time to get off work, Wan Ning’s phone rang.

Looking at the unfamiliar number, she hesitated for a moment before answering it. Unexpectedly, it was Tan Jianghai.

"How about we go eat together later?"
