Chapter 106: Chapter 106: Vacation and Ordinary Life

"I put your toiletries in the bathroom. Everything else is in the cabinet."

"I put your clothes and other things in the cabinet as well. My clothes can just go in the one next to it."

"There’s all kinds of food and drinks in the fridge. Don’t be shy, make yourself at home."

"This is the balcony. You can hang your laundry out there to dry, and you can just leave your washed shoes here."

Jiang Fan gave Sun Yanzi a full tour of his small apartment.

Although it was a one-bedroom, two-living-room, one-kitchen, and one-bathroom layout, the actual usable space was much larger than a typical apartment.

It was more than enough space for two people.

"Okay, I got it."

A gentle smile never left Sun Yanzi’s face, and her eyes never strayed from Jiang Fan.

"To celebrate you officially moving in today, I’ve decided to show off my skills."

"You can have a taste of my cooking."

Jiang Fan patted his chest, confidently promising to handle everything.

"Well then, I’ll be looking forward to it."

"Alright, you can change the four-piece bedding set yourself. I’m going to the kitchen to cook."

That’s right. Jiang Fan had even gone out of his way to buy a brand new four-piece bedding set for Sun Yanzi, replacing the one that had been on his bed.

He had spent so much money on all those things, but he felt nothing but joy and happiness, not a hint of regret.

He knew better than anyone what it felt like to lose your parents.

So he could empathize with and understand Sun Yanzi’s current state of mind all the more.

’Perhaps everything he did today was a way of making up for his own childhood.’

He shook his head, casting all these thoughts from his mind.

He began to focus, pulling all sorts of ingredients from the refrigerator.

But when he had everything laid out, he was stumped...

It wasn’t that he couldn’t cook. When he lived alone, he would make some noodles, boil some dumplings, or stir-fry a couple of simple dishes.

For him, that was already a luxury.

But today, he was so focused on making Sun Yanzi happy that he’d forgotten this detail. He had bought chicken wings, drumsticks, fish, shrimp... Things that a normal family would eat and cook all the time, but Jiang Fan was different.

"AHEM, how about we switch? I’ll show you what I can do today."

Sun Yanzi’s voice came from behind Jiang Fan, a hint of a smile playing on her lips.

Jiang Fan scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.

"Just think of it as my way of thanking you for driving me around and helping me run all those errands today."

"Go watch some TV. I’ll handle this."

Sun Yanzi grabbed an apron from the side, tied it around her waist, and put her hair up.

Jiang Fan was a little surprised watching her skillful movements.

Especially when she brought out dish after dish, each one looking, smelling, and tasting incredible. It made Jiang Fan’s appetite surge, and his mouth was practically watering.

Braised chicken wings, spicy drumsticks, stir-fried prawns, steamed sea bass...

One major dish after another. Though they were common home-style dishes, the taste was absolutely divine.

You have to understand, so many girls these days can’t even boil noodles, let alone cook a full meal.

"I never expected your cooking to be this good. I tried to show off, and it completely backfired."

"Oh, stop. Just eat. I’ll cook for you from now on, you don’t need to set foot in the kitchen."

"I don’t have much else to do, so I enjoy studying recipes at home."

"From now on, you can be my guinea pig."

"Hahahaha, okay."

"If I get to eat this well, I’d gladly be your guinea pig!"

Jiang Fan took a bowl of rice from Sun Yanzi and began to wolf down the food.

"Delicious, delicious! This tastes so good!"

"How did you make these shrimp? They’re so tender and fragrant!"

"Some lucky bastard is going to get you someday."

At that moment, Jiang Fan was so focused on eating that he spoke without thinking.

Before he could realize what he’d said, Sun Yanzi quickly piled shrimp, drumsticks, and chicken wings into his bowl. "Can’t even shut your mouth while you’re eating."

"You bastard!!"

Jiang Fan shot her a confused glance, but Sun Yanzi’s cooking was just too good. He didn’t have the time to worry about why she’d suddenly cursed at him like that.

He ended up eating three large bowls of rice, and he polished off every last dish on the table.

"I’m stuffed, I’m so stuffed."

"If I eat like this from now on, I’m going to get as fat as a pig."

Jiang Fan lay on the sofa, picking his teeth with his eyes narrowed in contentment.

"Then you can just get fat and die," Sun Yanzi replied from the kitchen as she washed the dishes.

"I told you, let me do it. Washing dishes and all that is bad for a girl’s hands."

Jiang Fan tilted his head, watching her back.

"Dish soap and stuff are all high-tech now. It’s not like back when people used harsh lye that ruined your hands."

"You just lie down. I can handle a small chore like this myself."

’A good wife and a loving mother!’

Jiang Fan couldn’t think of any other words to describe her.

"Oh, right. There’s a celebration banquet tomorrow night. You should come with me," Jiang Fan said, having suddenly remembered.

"A celebration banquet?"

"That’s right! Our proposal was a huge success!"

"Li Muwan decided to hold a celebration banquet for the entire sales department."

"They’ll be handing out rewards based on merit—raises for those who earned them, promotions for those who deserve them."

"Alright, I’ll go check it out then."

Hearing that Jiang Fan’s proposal was a huge success, Sun Yanzi was also genuinely happy for him.

「Time flew by in the blink of an eye.」

Xuerong Group’s celebration banquet was held at the Jinli Hotel, a four-star establishment.

It wasn’t the absolute best, but it was certainly not bad.

Not only was Li Muwan in attendance, but even Yin Ruxue was there.

The entire sales department was filled with a happy and joyous atmosphere.

"How is everyone? Have you all eaten and drunk your fill?"

Sun Yanzi was the first to walk onto the stage. Dressed in a snow-white evening gown, her aura had completely changed, making her exceptionally eye-catching.

This time, on Jiang Fan’s suggestion, they didn’t start with the awards ceremony or any other miscellaneous performances.

Instead, they let everyone eat and drink their fill first, enjoying themselves to the fullest before anything else began.

He couldn’t stand it when some damn leader would give a long, drawn-out speech, waiting until all the food was cold before telling everyone to "eat up and have a good time."

And as it turned out, this decision of Jiang Fan’s earned him a huge wave of goodwill.

"WE HAVE!!!"

"The food today was delicious!"

"Beautiful!!"

"Supervisor Sun, you look so beautiful today!!"

...

One bold female employee even started openly teasing Sun Yanzi.

"Since everyone has eaten and drunk their fill, our awards ceremony will now begin."

"Are you all excited?"

"If you are, then let’s welcome Jiang Fan to the stage with a round of applause."
