No matter how turbulent Lu Chaochao was, the banquet ceremony was still extremely normal.
He naturally placed a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge in front of Lu Chaochao, and the food he cooked was naturally very light.
One portion of braised chicken thighs with seasonal vegetables and one portion of shrimps and eggs.
Ji Yanli handed her the chopsticks and said softly, "I rarely cook at home, so there are only these dishes in the refrigerator. You can eat them first. If you don't like them, I will order takeout."
"No, it looks delicious."
Lu Chaochao blushed and glanced at him carefully.
"Then I'll eat first."
The shy look on the girl's face was really heartwarming, Ji Yanli turned away slightly and said.
"please."
Lu Chaochao picked up the chicken leg with his chopsticks and then put it into his mouth curiously.
"Well, it's delicious."
Although the dish is very light, the chicken leg meat is very tender and has the fragrance of seasonal vegetables. It has a different feeling. It is paired with preserved egg and lean meat porridge, one bite of meat, one bite of porridge, and then another bite of shrimps. It is great.
The banquet was sitting at the dining table, watching the girl eating with a smile on her lips.
It was obviously a simple home-cooked meal, but she seemed to be eating delicacies from the mountains and seas.
Her almond-like eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and a satisfied smile hung on her lips.
"It's really delicious, um..." Lu Chaochao looked at Ji Yanli without moving, wanting him to eat, and suddenly realized with horror that she didn't even know his name.
Lu Chaochao blushed again, her toes scratched the ground in embarrassment, and her whole face was buried in her rice bowl.
Heaven and earth, she slept with this man and went to his house to eat. She didn't even know his name.
She didn't even ask in the car?
She must be confused.
Fortunately, Ji Yanli was very smart, and the girl's innocence allowed him to see what she was thinking at a glance.
It was also his mistake, he actually forgot to introduce himself in front of the girl.
"My name is Ji Yanli."
Lu Chaochao raised his head in shock!
How did he know what she was thinking.
In order to protect the little girl's face, Ji Yanli did not expose the girl's self-embarrassment, but began to introduce herself.
"My name is Ji Yanli. I am thirty years old this year. I have a listed company and a considerable income. I have grandparents, parents, and no other brothers and sisters at home."
"No relationship history, currently unmarried."
'unmarried! 'The two words made Lu Chaochao blush again and his heart beat faster. He didn't feel ashamed for a while, and he held the chopsticks tightly with his hands.
The wealthy families around her all said that Xu Jiaxun was extremely handsome. When they were studying together, he was a well-deserved school boy and had countless fans in the school.
Now seeing the quarterly banquet, Xu Jiaxun seemed to be eclipsed.
Everything about him became so small, and the handsome figure in his memory became vulgar.
The thirty-year-old man's aura of superiority and his lazy but controlling eyes are incomparable to a twenty-year-old boy.
Ji Yanli is the most handsome man Lu Chaochao has ever seen.
His facial features are clear-cut and his strong eyebrows give him a hint of what a man should look like, but his pair of pink and phoenix eyes give him a hint of charm.
His eyelashes are so long that women would be jealous.
Of course, there is also the tall nose that makes people afraid of sinking into it, and the moderately thick red lips that are currently showing a dizzying smile.
He has a full temperament, and his every move is so proud and unrestrained.
In short, he is a very confident and charming man.
Lu Chaochao was almost dumbfounded, Ji Yanli smiled and waved in front of her eyes.
"Chaochao, what's wrong with you?"
Chao Chao~
'Boom! "There was another thunder in Lu Chaochao's heart.
After my mother passed away, few people called her 'Chaochao' so gently.
No, he seemed to know her name.
"How do you know my name?"
Lu Chaochao put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked anxiously.
She was questioning, confused and a little vulnerable.
Could he...
A layer of mist formed in Lu Chaochao's eyes. Could it be that the tenderness just now was all a dream?
The girl's suddenly red eyes made Ji Yanli inexplicably nervous.
The heart of this man, who was so powerful in the shopping mall and known as the 'Living King of Hell' with vicious methods, suddenly stopped for a beat.
He cared more about Lu Chaochao than he thought.
"No, don't be afraid." Ji Yanli came to the girl with a tissue, then bent down and gently wiped the tears she shed just now.
"Who are you? How do you know my name? Are you... sent by Lu... Lu Qingqing?"
Lu Chaochao cried. She was really afraid that her escape on Friday night was actually a dream.
She escaped Jiang Tao but still fell into Lu Qingqing's conspiracy.
She still lost to Lu Qingqing, and she lost completely.
"No, no one in this world dares to instruct me on the quarterly banquet ceremony."
The expression of the banquet was very serious, and his voice was firm and powerful.
"Lu Chaochao, listen, the person who can instruct my Ji Banquet has not been born yet."
"That day was indeed an accident. Your appearance surprised me."
"I'm sorry that I didn't control my body and mind and made you confused..." Ji Yanli politely did not continue.
After all, the girl was staring at him with her big hazy eyes.
"You were gone the next morning and I was pissed."
The questioning look in the quarterly banquet ceremony made Lu Chaochao lower his head with a guilty conscience.
It was the first time she encountered such a situation, so running away was inevitable. Otherwise, why not wait for him to say 'thank you' when he woke up?
Or cry to make him responsible?
Although she is down and out, she is still a rising star beauty of the 21st century, so she cannot do such a thing.
When he wakes up and feels embarrassed, it's better to run away.
"Well, although I'm sorry, I still want to be honest with you. The next day I copied the hotel's surveillance video and asked my assistant to investigate your identity."
Lu Chaochao's heart was suddenly hit, "Have you investigated my identity?"
The man nodded slightly, "I'm sorry, I was really angry because you ran away, so I desperately want to know... who you are."
She looked at him blankly, "Then you know everything about me and my family?"
The banquet ceremony nodded.
"So, was it you who called the police today?"
No wonder she didn't call the police, but they found Jiang Tao.
She naively thought that it was Jiang Tao who committed many evil deeds and then overturned, but she did not expect that it was Ji Yanli who did it.
So, when he showed up near her home, he really came to find her, right?
"Yes, I came here specifically to find you."
Lu Chaochao was silent for a long time after hearing Ji Yanli's answer, and then looked at the handsome and stern man absently and asked.
"Why?" Why did you come to her?
"Because I like you very much."
"Chaochao, please forgive my selfishness, because if I hadn't had ulterior motives for you that day, maybe nothing would have happened."
Ji Yanli's gaze moved downward slightly, and the mark he left on Lu Chaochao's neck was still clearly visible.
It was enough to witness how out of control he was that night.
