After Being So High Up For So Long, Time to Come Back Down to Earth
Chu Liyuan did not have a sweet tooth. But today, he felt that it was not bad.
“Uncle, are we going straight home now?” Jian Dan looked at the route and asked.
“Yes!” Chu Liyuan replied.
Jian Dan was in a good mood today. It seemed that Chu Liyuan was also in a good mood. Since that was the case, she wanted this good mood to last longer and did not want to go home just yet.
“But it’s still early!”
What did this lass want now?
“What do you want to do if you don’t want to go home?” Chu Liyuan asked.
“Uncle, hold on.”
Since Chu Liyuan had agreed, there was no time to lose…
Jian Dan made a call… “Aunt Zhu, reserve a table for me! I’m coming over later… Okay! Bye.”
“Let’s go!” Jian Dan looked at Chu Liyuan with a smile.
“Turn right here. After 100 meters, turn right… Turn left at the traffic light…” Under Jian Dan’s directions, they quickly arrived at their destination…
Chu Liyuan was wearing an expensive bespoke suit with a Patek Philippe on his wrist and Italian handmade leather shoes.
He looked coldly at the night market in front of him.
That was right! The place Jian Dan brought him to was a night market… Jian Dan stood side by side with him. Her 165 cm height made her seem especially petite compared to Chu Liyuan’s nearly 190 cm height. Jian Dan tilted her head and looked at Chu Liyuan’s clothes—he really did not fit in here.
However, since he was already here…
There was a shop—Zhu’s Roast Meat—beside this night market.
This shop was very crowded every day, and they never accepted reservations. If it were not for her, they would not be able to get a seat at all.
Jian Dan led Chu Liyuan to a very ancient eatery.
“Jian Dan, you are here? I’ve reserved a table for you.”
The shop was already full. When the lady boss—Aunt Zhu—saw Jian Dan, she greeted her warmly.
“Yes! Aunt Zhu.” Jian Dan smiled and greeted Aunt Zhu.
The two of them sat at the table that Aunt Zhu had reserved for them.
Jian Dan observed the changes in Chu Liyuan’s expression from time to time…
“Uncle, the kebabs here are especially delicious. Really, you have to try them.”
What kind of expression was that? Wasn’t it just kebabs? Did she have to have such an expression?
Chu Liyuan had been too high up for far too long; he needed to come back down to earth.
As Jian Dan had called beforehand, everything had already been roasted in advance.
They had barely arrived when the food was served.
However, Chu Liyuan did not move. How could this do?
“Uncle, as an experienced foodie, you must believe me. It’s really very yummy.”
Since Chu Liyuan did not move, she would help him!
Jian Dan picked up a skewer of broccoli and brought it to Chu Liyuan’s mouth. “Uncle, try it.”
Jian Dan looked at Chu Liyuan with her big, doe eyes.
Chu Liyuan felt a ripple in his heart.
How could he reject Jian Dan? He opened his mouth, ate, chewed, and swallowed in one go.
It tasted really good!
She lived up to her reputation as a foodie.
Chu Liyuan finally let go. Since he let go, tuck in!
“Uncle, do you want a Coke? Kebabs with Coke are simply amazing.”
“Alright!”
After eating and drinking to their heart’s content…
The night market was right beside them. Wouldn’t it be a little unreasonable if they didn’t go there?
Exactly.
…
When they returned to the car, Jian Dan took Chu Liyuan’s car key. After some maneuvering… there was a black cat pendant on it.
“What?” Chu Liyuan asked.
“It’s a keychain!” Jian Dan replied. “Also… I have one too…” Jian Dan waved her key in front of Chu Liyuan’s eyes. On it hung a cat that was exactly the same as the cat hanging on Chu Liyuan’s key, but it was white in color.
When did this lass buy it?
He did not notice.
Such a childish thing? Only a lass like her would like it.
However, they were his and her keychains!
Looking at it again, it was actually quite cute.
The two of them returned home. After entering the house, Jian Dan turned around and stood in front of Chu Liyuan. She slowly raised her head and looked into Chu Liyuan’s eyes. She smiled sweetly… “Uncle, today… I’m very happy.” She tiptoed and kissed Chu Liyuan gently on the cheek. Then, she turned around and went upstairs to the bedroom as quickly as possible.
Oh my god? Did she just kiss Chu Liyuan? Oh, it was so embarrassing.
What happened just now? Why did it feel like her body was controlling her brain?
When Jian Dan returned to the bedroom, her cheeks were already as red as apples. Her heart was beating so fast that it felt like it was about to jump out of her mouth. She tried her best to catch her breath…
Chu Liyuan—who was in the living room—was still in a daze. He touched the spot where Jian Dan had just kissed him. As he watched the lass run away, the corners of his lips curled up again.
