Jiang An thought that she only had to eat one meal tonight, but it seemed that she still couldn’t avoid that extra meal.
Jiang An felt bitter in her heart, but she replied obediently, “Oh, okay.”
Jiang Hai, on the other hand, was worried that the two of them would have nothing to talk about. He took the initiative to mention, “An’an, Jiang Zhen was transferred to Jingdu City mainly so that you can have a right-hand man when you take over the company in the future. Therefore, if you have anything you want to know about the business, you can ask him directly.”
This was the first time Jiang An knew Jiang Zhen’s motive for coming to Jingdu City. She said seriously, “Got it, Dad.”
Jiang Zhen’s house
Jiang Zhen woke up early this morning. First, he went to the flower shop to buy the freshest sunflowers. Then, he felt that some fruits and vegetables in the supermarket were not fresh enough, so he went to the market to buy vegetables.
After entering the house and putting away the goods, Jiang Zhen placed the sunflower into a vase. He realized that it was a little small, but there was only one vase at home, so he could only use it first.
The doorbell rang.
Jiang Zhen opened the door. As he had expected, he only saw Jiang An appear alone. A smile appeared on his face. “Welcome to my house. Please come in.”
Jiang An’s face was full of smiles. “Brother Jiang Zhen, congratulations on moving to your new residence.”
Jiang Zhen turned sideways. “Thank you. Please come in. Why didn’t Madam come with you today?”
Jiang An walked in with an apologetic expression on her face. “My mother suddenly had an urgent matter today and asked me to be the representative of our family.”
Jiang Zhen closed the door and led Jiang An to the living room. He replied gently, “The noble are busy. It’s normal for Madam to be busy.”
“Take a seat. I just moved in. I’ve not fully settled everything yet. I only have orange juice and water. Which do you want?”
Jiang An sized up Jiang Zhen’s new home as she walked. She walked to the sofa and replied, “Water is fine. Why does your house look like a model room?”
Jiang Zhen chuckled. He poured a glass of water and placed it on the coffee table in front of Jiang An. “You have a good eye. You could tell at a glance.”
“I’m too lazy to renovate. When I saw that there was something already renovated, I bought it directly and moved in with my bags. I don’t have to care about anything. It saves time and effort.”
Jiang An raised her eyebrows. She had to admit that this was an efficient way to stay. Then, she handed over her gift. “Brother Jiang Zhen, this is my housewarming gift.”
Jiang Zhen looked at the high-end wrapping paper and took the gift. He looked into Jiang An’s eyes and smiled. “Thank you!”
Jiang Zhen placed the gift on the coffee table, then took out a small pair of scissors and slowly cut open the wrapping paper.
Jiang An looked at Jiang Zhen’s careful movements and chuckled. “This is just a layer of wrapping paper. You’re really meticulous. You’re even so particular about unpacking.”
Jiang Zhen looked up at Jiang An with a hint of gentleness in the corners of his eyes. “Even if it’s wrapping paper, it’s still part of the gift.”
After saying that, Jiang Zhen continued what he was doing. After a minute, he completely lifted the intact wrapping paper and opened the gift box to see the crystal vase inside. He picked it up and looked at it carefully. “The vase is very beautiful. I like it very much.”
Seeing that Jiang Zhen seemed to be especially satisfied with this vase, Jiang An smiled and said, “As long as you like it.”
Jiang Zhen took the new vase to the kitchen and filled it with water. Then, he took out the sunflowers from the old vase on the coffee table and placed them in the new vase. The size was especially suitable.
Jiang Zhen teased, “That vase was a gift from the developer. When I placed the flowers today, I thought that the vase was a little small and not generous enough. I planned to buy a suitable one another day. I didn’t expect you to send it over immediately. Is this considered telepathy?”
Jiang An also replied jokingly, “Yes.”
Jiang Zhen poured away the water from the old vase and put it away. He looked at Jiang An, who was sitting on the sofa, and said, “Feel free to look around. I’ll go cook first.”
Jiang An nodded and watched Jiang Zhen enter the kitchen. She began to tour the house curiously.
The house that Jiang Zhen had bought was not big. It had two bedrooms, two living areas, and two bathrooms. Jiang An estimated that the area was about 150 square meters. It could be considered a two-bedroom house.
The kitchen and dining room were both open. The dining room separated the kitchen and living room into two spaces. The master bedroom had a cloakroom and bathroom, and the guest bedroom was only a bedroom.
Jiang An finished touring Jiang Zhen’s house in a few minutes. Looking at Jiang Zhen’s busy back view in the kitchen, she decided to go forward and help.
Jiang An walked to Jiang Zhen’s side and asked enthusiastically, “Is there anything I can help with? It’ll be faster if two people work together..”
