That evening, when Jian Ai came back, she had also brought back a takeout box of spicy crayfish. Lin Fan sat down and started eating. He was really hungry.
“How did you know I hadn't eaten?”
Jian Ai smiled charmingly: “You, a big man, would like to cook?”
He actually possessed divine-level culinary skills. If he cooked, he was guaranteed to make Jian Ai eat until she was full. But Jian Ai was right, men don’t like to cook. He didn’t even want to wash dishes.
He had originally been waiting for Jian Ai to come back so they could go out to eat together. But since she brought food back, he didn’t have to go out.
“Hehe... you’re right. From now on, I’ll leave the cooking to you.”
“No problem.” Jian Ai even helped him peel the shrimp and placed them in front of him.
“You eat too, don’t worry about me.”
“I’m not hungry. If I eat too much at night, I’ll gain weight.”
“You can’t be too thin either. It’ll easily hurt if you bump into things.”
Jian Ai rolled her eyes: “I bumped into you?”
“Not that, your figure is flawless.”
“You’re so annoying, just eat!”
Soon, they finished their meal and cleaned up the trash. The two of them curled up on the couch watching TV.
Jian Ai brought up the topic of their neighbor, Gu Jia: “Are you two really okay?”
“Who?”
“The married woman next door.”
“I really just helped out, and she invited me to a meal.”
“Really? You don’t have any thoughts for her?”
“No.”
“Are you still pretending?”
“Alright, I won’t pretend anymore.”
Jian Ai smiled knowingly. She knew Lin Fan's character.
If the neighbor was an ugly woman, he wouldn’t have been enthusiastic about helping.
So, the so-called enthusiasm was based on the premise that the other person's appearance was passable.
Then, it’s understandable that men all have a penchant for becoming the neighbor's lover.
However, Jian Ai still sincerely reminded him: “Take it easy. Be careful of being slashed by the neighbor’s husband. There are so many news reports like this every year.”
Lin Fan wanted to stuff Jian Ai's crow's mouth with a Wang Zhong Wang.
Couldn’t she wish him well?
Even if Xu Huanshan wanted to slash him, could he beat him? He could crush him with just a finger.
Furthermore, Xu Huanshan wasn’t a good person. Now, there was Li Ke, the first generation green tea, in his company, and in the future, Lin Youyou, the green tea grandmaster, would be there to attract him.
If he was truly a good man, he wouldn’t be tempted by green tea.
Therefore, all men are the same. You like my wife, I like your wife.
“Thank you! If I’m slashed to death, remember to collect my body.”
Jian Ai pinched him playfully: “What are you talking about? You can’t die. What does Gu Jia mean by that?”
“She’s a respectable married woman. It’s not what you think. Don’t think too much, okay? You think everyone is as crazy as you are?”
“Pfft, you’re the crazy one.”
After joking around for a while, Lin Fan asked if she had asked about recruiting Jiang Nan.
Lin Shaotao, that bastard, definitely wouldn’t let Jiang Nan leave easily.
But Jiang Nan staying by his side would only be a sucker, and Lin Shaotao wasn’t interested in Jiang Nan.
That’s basically wasting the girl’s prime youth.
Pfft! Scumbag.
Unlike him who is considerate (and charming).
But Jian Ai’s feedback wasn’t ideal. She had met Jiang Nan at the company, and Jiang Nan wasn’t interested in working at Dadi Investment.
Lin Fan sighed: “Isn’t it great to have a handsome, rich, and powerful assistant like me?”
Jian Ai was speechless: “Being handsome is not great?”
“Not only am I handsome, but I’m also rich and powerful. You should fully explain my advantages to her and attract her.”
“Shameless. She’s still a young girl.”
“Nowadays, young girls are much smarter than you old wives.”
“Really?”
“Isn’t it true?”
“Then why don’t you find Jiang Nan yourself and persuade her to come over?”
Lin Fan actually had this idea.
Jiang Nan's ability as an assistant was definitely no worse than Su Mi’s secretary, and she was also beautiful.
Who wouldn’t love such an employee?
“Then you find an opportunity to arrange it. Let me meet Jiang Nan privately and I’ll talk to her.”
“That’s easy. Just ask Lin Shaotao to arrange it. You’re good brothers. Can’t you even manage this small matter?”
“You don’t understand… Lin Shaotao is too cunning. He’s not willing to let Jiang Nan work by my side.”
Jian Ai held back a smile. If Lin Shaotao let Jiang Nan work as Lin Fan’s assistant, that would be a huge loss, losing both his wife and his assistant.
Even she wouldn’t be happy.
However, if Lin Shaotao found out what they were doing, wouldn’t he tear Lin Fan’s inspiration to shreds?
“Lin Shaotao will eventually find out that you’re secretly trying to recruit Jiang Nan. How will you deal with it then?”
“Take what comes. Deal with it when the time comes. It’s just an assistant. Can she break off our friendship?”
“Maybe. I can tell that Jiang Nan likes Lin Shaotao.”
Oh! Gossip time!
“You knew all along? You weren’t jealous before you divorced?”
“Why would I be jealous? Even if Lin Shaotao had ten or eight women, it has nothing to do with me.”
“You were still her legal wife at that time!”
“Yes. What about it?”
Wow!
Your thoughts are a bit ahead of your time!
Doesn’t that mean you can call Jian Ai and go on a three-way date someday?
“I understand. Remember to arrange a meeting with Jiang Nan for me. Don’t worry about anything else.”
“Okay. But I’m risking being scolded by Lin Shaotao. You know, we work in the same company, so it’s not easy to do this.”
“What are you trying to do?”
“I’m hungry again.”
What else could he say?
Wow!
Lin Fan had originally set up a barrier to prevent their neighbors from hearing anything.
But suddenly he changed his mind. Why should he set up a barrier?
He wanted Gu Jia to hear everything.
Respectable married woman?
He must bring her into the water.
At the same time, Xu Huanshan returned home from work and sat down at the dinner table. Gu Jia warmed up the food and placed it in front of him. The noise from next door started again.
The two looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
Gu Jia: Should I get you some earphones?
Xu Huanshan: No, I’m not a child. It won’t affect my meal.
Gu Jia nodded, understandingly diverting his attention: “What happened at the company today?”
Xu Huanshan complained while eating: “It’s still Mr. Wan. He wants to change the plan again and cut costs. He clearly doesn’t want fireworks. I think he wants firecrackers.”
Gu Jia comforted him: “It’s like that in business. Be patient. Mr. Wan is our biggest client. It’s not an exaggeration to say that Jiamei is raised by Mr. Wan. Be patient with the moneymaker.”
Xu Huanshan sighed: “What else can I do?”
Soon, they finished their meal. Looking at the tidy house, Xu Huanshan had wanted to ask how Gu Jia managed to do it all alone.
“Did you hire a cleaning lady?”
“No. Lin Fan from next door helped out.”
Xu Huanshan listened to the noise and frowned slightly: “Did you call him over?”
“Yeah… I really couldn’t carry the heavy stuff.”
“Alright. In the future, when I’m not home, try to avoid contact with him. I feel that kid has bad intentions.”
“He’s just a bit frivolous. Everything else is fine.”
Xu Huanshan became a bit agitated: “Yes, it’s because he’s frivolous that he’s unreliable. Listen to me.”
“Don’t worry. Are you worried about me?”
“My wife is the best.”
“Hmm… go take a shower quickly. Let’s get some rest…”
Xu Huanshan understood instantly, but he was powerless.
It was all because of that damn Lin Fan, tirelessly making noise, not letting people live in peace.
“Wife, I’m tired. You should keep our son company tonight.” After finishing, Xu Huanshan quickly went to the bathroom.
Gu Jia sighed softly. She was a bit envious of the people next door.
