TISHW 106i




 Chapter 106 Like her?

Qin Shiyu said that he’ll treat. On top of that, it was Chen Yalian's money. So, Jiang Yu didn't hold back and finally chose a seafood buffet with a price of one thousand and fifty per person.

It was already a very luxurious meal for her. Of course, the most important thing was that it was cost-effective. After all, if one ordered dishes, one could only order three or four dishes for two people at most, which is a lot of waste. However, one could taste hundreds of varieties at the buffet. What’s more, as soon as one sat down, they could eat it as soon as possible - she was hungry.

In fact, the ingredients in the restaurant lived up to the price. Freshly killed king crab, Boston lobster, salmon, tuna sashimi, all kinds of seafood, fruits, ice cream and small hot pot. It was simply a paradise for food lovers.

When Jiang Yu saw Qin Shiyu copying her on eating crab legs again, he blurted out, "All other wealthy people teach others how to eat. Why do you come here and learn how to eat from me?"

Qin Shiyu skillfully used chopsticks to poke out the crab leg meat and put it into his mouth. He grinned, "I think your way of eating it tastes better."

For some unknown reason, every time he ate with her, he could feel the deliciousness of the food.

Thinking of this, he asked, "What do you want to eat next time?"

Jiang Yu burst into laughter, "I haven't finished this meal yet. How many meals are you going to take care of?"

Qin Shiyu said, "According to the principle of seer having a share, you get at least one-tenth of the fifty million. This will be enough for you to eat for a while."

Jiang Yu said, "You can directly give me one-tenth."

Qin Shiyu stated seriously, "I don't think an upright person like you would want it. I won't touch friend's bottom line."

Jiang Yu broke off a crab leg, "Then you don't understand friend very well. This friend respects money very much. I can lower her bottom line at any time."

Qin Shiyu shook his head, "There is a difference between money and money. This is stolen money. If I treat you to a meal, you are innocent. But if I share the money with you, you will be an accessory."

Jiang Yu concluded, "All in all, it is better to not think about getting money from you."

Qin Shiyu helped her bring a plate of fried foie gras and put it in front of her, "Talking about money hurts feelings."

……

The two ate while bickering. After eating for more than an hour, Jiang Yu rubbed her belly with satisfaction. After coming out of the buffet and going downstairs to the parking lot, they passed by a furniture store. Jiang Yu couldn't help but stop when she saw an ergonomic chair.

Qin Shiyu followed her gaze, "Since there’s no matter, let's take a stroll."

The shopping malls surrounding Tinglan Community were relatively high-end and there weren't too many people there. Jiang Yu wanted to check out the chairs, so she walked in after Qin Shiyu expressed that he didn't mind.

Qin Shiyu saw her trying out the chair and asked, "Do you like this?"

Jiang Yu said, "En, it's the basic equipment for every coder, if they don't want to have a protruding waist early."

She leaned back on the chair and sighed comfortably, "But I currently have no fixed place. Have to wait until I can rent or buy a place before I buy it.”

Looking up, she saw Qin Shiyu's pondering expression. As a preventative measure, she said, "You don't need to treat me to this."

Qin Shiyu raised his eyebrows.

Jiang Yu grinned, "No merit, no reward. Besides, I prefer the things I buy myself. Only then, putting them at home will make me feel at ease."

Qin Shiyu said, "Since you put it that way, doesn't it mean living here with me isn't at ease?"

"That's not true. You are a great host." Jiang Yu smiled, "But haven't you heard the saying, a golden nest and a silver nest aren't as good as your own straw nest?"

“A property alone can’t be called home. No matter how luxurious and beautiful it is, if you haven’t paid for it and have no expectations, it’s a place to stay. You can enjoy it temporarily, but you won’t have a sense of belonging.”

"But it’s different if everything in a property, from decoration design to small ornaments, are all selected and purchased by you."

She picked up an ordinary vase on the stand, "Just like this vase. It may be inconspicuous to others, but because I picked it and arranged flowers for it, it’s beautiful and worthy of liking in my eyes..."

Qin Shiyu smiled, "The Little Prince?"

Jiang Yu nodded, "The little prince is in love with roses. In fact, everything is the same after being given meaning. For example, a chair. I spent a lot of effort selecting it, waiting for it to arrive home, and finally personally placing the chair on the spot I have long eyed. During the first few days, I will sit at the computer desk early and type code because it is new to me.”

"These give me a sense of security, because it belongs to me completely. No one has the right or reason to take it away. The same with the vase. The same with the chair...the same with the whole home."

"That's why a person can be completely relaxed in their own home. Because it’s the only place in the world that belongs entirely to them, even if it’s ordinary."

Qin Shiyu stared at her. So in her world, everything could be beautiful and interesting. In an unknown place, she was full of curiosity and cherished the short stay. On her own territory, she lived seriously and even picking a featureless vase felt meaningful...

Seeing her playing with an interesting ornament, Qin Shiyu smiled, "If you buy it now, you don't have anywhere to put it."

Jiang Yu was hit by an arrow in the chest and turned to glare at him, "Don't worry, I will fight for it."

She touched the fox ornament and said seriously, "Wait until Elder Sister buys you back home."

Qin Shiyu laughed. Then he went to the other side and started to try out the chair. Jiang Yu saw that he was seriously trying out the chair and asked him how he felt, "Which one is better?"

The staff next to him said, "If you have enough budget, the one you are sitting on now is very comfortable. The back, seat and handles can all be adjusted."

He smiled at Jiang Yu, "It can be comfortable for a young couple to use."

It was as if she was the one who called the shots.

Jiang Yu was a little embarrassed. However, when facing strangers, it was a little difficult for her to speak. She could only tighten her mask and turned to Qin Shiyu. Qin Shiyu said deliberately, "Like it? Then buy this one."

After saying that, he stood up to pay, left the address to the store, and asked them to deliver the goods to the door.

Coming out of the furniture store, Jiang Yu couldn't help but glare at him, "Why didn't you explain?"

Qin Shiyu grinned, "Why explain?"

He contemplated and then continued, "And he didn’t speak wrongly."

Only then, Jiang Yu remembered that she and Qin Shiyu were a legally married couple.

When mentioning this matter, Jiang Yu asked, "Do you want a divorce? You can divorce at any time if you want."

Qin Shiyu glanced at her, "What? You are the one who forced the marriage. Now you are the one who wants the divorce. Is the 10 million ready?"

Jiang Yu:……

"I’ve already said that I was deceived by youth and ignorance. Why don't you allow others to correct it?" Jiang Yu said, "Don't you want to correct it?"

Qin Shiyu started the car and glanced at her, "Do you have any reason for divorce?"

Jiang Yu rendered speechless, "Isn't it enough that the way of getting married was wrong?"

Qin Shiyu said, "Only by having a boyfriend, one needs to get married properly."

Jiang Yu was confused, "There's none."

"Then do me a favor and divorce in two years." Qin Shiyu said.

Jiang Yu was confused, "A favor?"

Qin Shiyu said, "You are the first, Zhou Feifei is the second. I don't know how many more will appear later."

"This is Chen Yalian's intervention. You know that marriages in families like ours are all about exchange of chips. Qin Xingye may be more ruthless if he sells me out. So please help me occupy this position and let me be stable for two years."

Jiang Yu still felt something was amiss, "Your family don't know about our current hidden marriage, right?"

Qin Shiyu grinned, "That's why it's a bomb. If he dares to sell me, I'll blow him up in the face."

Jiang Yu:……

After pondering about it, it seemed that it was indeed Qin Shiyu's style. Imagine that when Qin Shiyu's father helped him find a good partner and arranged for them to get married, Qin Shiyu said "I am already married". Father Qin would probably be furious to death and offended the prospective marriage partner’s family. The collaborators became enemies.

Tsk tsk, so cruel.

"Of course, to make up for your losses..." Reaching here, Qin Shiyu saw Jiang Yu's ears pricked up attentively. He wanted to tease her for some reason. The words on his lips turned around, "I will take care of your Second Uncle and Second Aunt for you.”

Jiang Yu leaned back in her chair in disappointment, thinking he would give her 10 million.

There was a twinkle in Qin Shiyu’s eyes, "Of course, if you have a boyfriend during this period, I can come out and explain and give you a dowry."

Jiang Yu no longer trusted him, "What dowry? Do you want to treat me to another meal?"

Qin Shiyu smiled, "How about fifty million?"

Jiang Yu glanced at him, lowered her head, and began to fiddle with her phone.

Qin Shiyu was confused when he saw her being quiet. This reaction wasn't quite right.
