Rose Manor

Chapter 273 Return of the property to its original owner

The table runner on the dining table was newly purchased by Shen Jia Nian. It is made of light green crocheted silk, and pure white tableware is placed on it, which is particularly pleasing to the eye.

In less than an hour, Fu Jichen prepared dinner for two people, including steak, spaghetti with meat sauce and cream of mushroom soup. The presentation was the same as in the restaurant.

From Shen Jianian's point of view, the appearance is somewhat deceptive. She herself is a good example. The cooked dishes look very appetizing, but they don't taste as expected.

"Try it." Fu Jichen pulled out a chair for her in a gentlemanly manner.

Knives and forks are placed on both sides of the plate. If candles are lit, it is comparable to a candlelight dinner.

Shen Jia Nian sat down dubiously, holding a knife and fork to cut off a small piece of steak, and the moment she put it in her mouth, her expression froze.

It was not as unpalatable as she expected. On the contrary, it tasted very good.

Fu Jichen didn't miss the flash of surprise in her eyes, a smile appeared on his lips, and he pretended to be nervous and asked her: "How does it taste? Isn't it delicious?"

Shen Jia Nian did not believe in evil, tasted the pasta and soup, and then slowly raised his eyes to look at him, suspecting that he was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.

"Isn't it delicious?" Fu Jichen pulled out the chair opposite her, sat down, rested his elbows on the edge of the table, cut off a piece of steak and put it in his mouth. After tasting it, he evaluated himself, "I think it's okay."

Shen Jianian didn't want to admit that he had been hit hard by his cooking skills. He finished his dinner in silence, sent the tableware to the kitchen, and started to chase people away: "Thank you for your 'courtesy', but how long will you stay at my house?"

She deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the four words "courtesy reciprocity".

Fu Jichen subconsciously raised his wrist and remembered that he had taken off his watch, so he asked her, "What time is it now?"

"Seven thirty." Shen Jianian checked the phone and told him the time.

Fu Jichen came out of the restaurant, but didn't leave. He sat on the sofa in the living room, relaxing as if he were at home: "It's still early."

Shen Jia Nian frowned. Whenever she met him, she frowned more and more frequently: "I'm going to bed."

Fu Jichen folded his long legs and put one hand on the back of the sofa. The old man asked: "Who goes to bed so early?"

"Can't you?"

"Row……"

Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside. Fu Jichen stopped talking and raised his eyebrows. Who would come to Shen Jianian at this time?

Shen Jianian didn't know who it was, so the courier wouldn't come so late.

No matter who it was, she didn't want to expose the fact that there was a man in the family. She turned back and gave Fu Jichen a warning look, which meant that he should keep quiet.

Shen Jianian ran over in her slippers and leaned on the door to take a look. The face outside the door seemed familiar. She was stunned for a few seconds before she remembered that it was the female resident on the 20th floor.

She changed her makeup and hairstyle today, and she didn't recognize her for a moment.

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Jianian opened the door, leaned out with most of his body, and asked the other party if everything was okay with doubtful eyes.

"I thought you weren't at home either." The female resident had thick, flowing black hair permed into big waves. She had exquisite makeup and long, curled false eyelashes, which made her eyes very beautiful. She was wearing The skirt was printed with large flowers, and the perfume was changed to rose scent. She was still holding a large square plate, with delicate eyebrows raised, and her tone was helpless, "Every time I go to see your neighbor, he is not at home. Has he been on a business trip recently?" Already?"

She can understand that elite men like that are busy with work, but she has been rejected several times in a row. She has tried at various times, but that man is never at home. So she guessed that the man hadn't lived here recently.

Shen Jianian felt her face burning up. How should she explain it? Could it be that the person she was looking for was at her home right now.

"I...I don't know." Shen Jia Nian was very bad at lying and couldn't help but stumble when he spoke.

The female resident was discouraged. Why is it so difficult to chase a man? She passed the plate in her hand forward: "There are too many cakes baked today. I can't finish them all by myself. Please help me use up some."

"No, I..."

Shen Jianian waved her hand to refuse, but the other party didn't give her a chance and stabbed her chest directly with the plate, so she had to reach out her hand to catch it.

"Hey, your plate..." Shen Jianian reacted. As soon as he started talking, the woman entered the elevator. Her back was slender and her walking posture was swaying, but she looked listless.

Shen Jia Nian looked helpless and returned to the house with a plate of pastries. As far as the eye could see, Fu Jichen was sitting leisurely on her beige sofa. He held a cigarette between his index and middle fingers and brought it to his lips. He took a puff and squinted his eyes. To her: "Who?"

He couldn't see the door from his perspective, but only heard a woman's voice, mumbling a lot of words, but because the other person's voice was very low, he couldn't hear it clearly.

Of course, he didn't spare the energy to listen carefully.

Shen Jianian put a plate of cakes in his arms: "A lady on the 20th floor brought you cakes. No one answered when she knocked on your door, so she gave them to me. Now they are returned to their original owners. Don't waste their kindness. "

Fu Jichen took the plate away, leaned forward and put it on the coffee table, dusting off the cigarette ashes. When he stretched out his hand, he realized that there was no such thing as an ashtray in her house.

I'll have to bring an ashtray over later. he thinks.

Shen Jianian frowned again: "Can you please stop smoking in my house? It smells like cigarette smoke."

Fu Jichen was silent, went to the kitchen to put out his cigarette, came back and took a cookie from the plate: "Didn't you tell the lady that I was here with you?"

"I'm mad……"

Without saying the word "?", Shen Jia Nian was fed a cookie in her mouth. It was fragrant and crispy. Shen Jia Nian was distracted for a second, thinking about how good the lady's craftsmanship was. "You should tell her." Fu Jichen looked at her puffy biscuit in her mouth and found it cute. He raised his thin lips and smiled and said, "This way she won't come to me again. Don't you hope Did she come to me?"

Shen Jianian took off the biscuit from his mouth and raised his head, with biscuit crumbs still stuck to the corners of his lips: "What does it have to do with me?"

"Don't look at me like this." Fu Jichen held the back of her head with his big palm, leaned down on her neck, and lowered his voice by two points, "I want to kiss you."

The last day of this year is Shen Jianian's birthday.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Changxia came over, took a tour of Shen Jianian's new home, pointed to the next door and asked, "Where does Fu Jichen really live?"

"Yeah." Shen Jianian sat cross-legged on the carpet and used a pump to inflate the balloon. "Ever since I burst it, he has become shameless. He comes to my house whenever he has something to do."

When Bai Changxia walked in, he saw men's slippers in the shoe cabinet. After shopping around, he found a black ashtray on the coffee table. It was obvious that Boss Fu was trying to squeeze into Shen Jianian's life.

"What about you? Do you have any thoughts about him..." Bai Changxia sat down to play balloons with her, carefully considering his words, and whispered, "Any other ideas?"

"what idea?"

"Asking knowingly." Bai Changxia kicked her feet and winked.

Shen Jianian: "I have no idea."

"Liar." Bai Changxia didn't believe that she had no idea at all. "When he came close to you, your heart didn't beat faster? After all, you all spent that night like this."

Shen Jianian said "Ah" and lay on the carpet like a salted fish: "I beg you, please stop talking."

Bai Changxia curled his lips and gloated: "Although I won't interfere in your decision, I still think highly of Boss Fu."

"Which side are you on?"

"Of course it's from your side." Bai Changxia said without hesitation, "My goal is to see you happy."

Shen Jia Nian glanced at her, did she think Fu Jichen could give her happiness?

Bai Changxia poked her waist, and his tone was full of gossip: "Hey, isn't Fu Jichen chasing you? Tell me if he has expressed anything to you recently."

"Does it matter if you just come over and cook for me?" Shen Jianian said casually.

Bai Changxia opened his eyes wide: "He came here to cook for you? Fu Jichen? Cook for you?!"

Shen Jianian was still lying on the carpet, listening to her louder and louder exclamations: "Are you surprised?"

"You are so blessed that you don't know the blessings! That's Fu Jichen! The boss of Junshan who makes billions or tens of billions of transactions every minute!" Bai Changxia forcefully poked her waist, "You don't think he's really that idle, do you? "

Just at this time, someone knocked on the door. Shen Jianian got up and opened the door. Zhao Shunyi arrived, carrying a large white gift bag in his hand: "Happy birthday! I bought you a bag. I don't know if you like it or not."

"Thank you, it's too expensive. You have good taste, and the bag you picked will definitely look good." Shen Jianian knelt down to find slippers for her, "Come in quickly."

Bai Changxia knew Zhao Shunyi. She had watched her drama. Jia Nian had said before that a friend was spending New Year's Eve with them, but she never expected that she was a female star.

Shen Jianian introduced the two of them to each other, and the fact was as she expected. Both of them had carefree personalities, and they started chatting within a few minutes of sitting down.

Bai Changxia looked at Zhao Shunyi for a long time and admired from the bottom of his heart: "Celebrities are really different from amateurs. You are much thinner than you look on TV, and your face is so firm and smooth. How do you do it?"

"My agent also blamed me for being greedy and not taking care of my figure recently!" Zhao Shunyi held her face in her hands and exchanged her skin care tips with her.

Not long after, the ingredients Shen Jia Nian ordered online arrived.

Seeing the ingredients, Bai Changxia slapped his forehead: "I also said I would bring two bottles of red wine, but I forgot."

"It's okay. It's okay if you don't drink. I bought juice." Shen Jianian said.

After decorating the living room, they went to the kitchen to work. Zhao Shunyi's cooking skills were so-so, on par with Shen Jia Nian's. He could only eat but not cook. Among the three, Bai Changxia's cooking skills were the best.

Bai Changxia sent the two of them to wash the vegetables, and she planned to do the rest herself.

Shen Jia Nian bought a whole chicken, and Bai Changxia thought about making roast chicken. When Jia Nian celebrated her birthday before, her mother made it for her, and she heard Jia Nian talk about it.

At around five o'clock, Fu Jichen appeared on the 26th floor. He first went back to his home to get gifts, and then knocked on the door next door.

At the same time, the elevator door opened, and a woman with loose curly hair came out. When she saw the tall figure, her eyes lit up.

She finally saw him again.

Tomorrow is New Year's Day, and she thought he would go home early today, and she was right.

"Hi, do you remember me?"

The woman said hello, pursed her lips slightly, suppressing her inner excitement, for fear that he would disappear from her eyes, and her steps toward him were a bit eager.
