Chapter 1653

now how much I love him. We'll get married, have children, and live happily ever after. 。I've grown up with him since I was little, only I understand him best, and only I deserve to live with him fore..."Anyway, I'll be alone when I go back. If I take care of myself, I won't be able to manage work and reports. It's better to lose some nutrition here."

Ling Chen handed her the apple in his hand: "Nutrient solution You're so young, you treat yourself like this"

Zhao Yizhen had to take the apple he offered: "Lingchen, thank you for coming to see me even though I'm sick. Thank you for bringing me what I need. To be honest, I owe you so much over the years. You don't have to treat me like this in the future. I don't want to always owe favors."

Ling Chen pretended to be angry: "What do you always think of me"

"Good friend," Zhao Yizhuo replied.

"What else"

"Well... you're still the one who saved my life. " Zhao Yizhen replied earnestly.

Ling Chen sighed: “So now... am I someone else”

Of course not! Zhao Yizhen quickly denied it.

"Finally at ease, Eino. I allow you to owe me a lifetime of favors." Lingchen flashed her a smile.

"...Ling Chen, I really don't know what to say. Oh, how about I treat you to a meal in two days It's just a way of repaying you..." Before she could finish her sentence, Ling Chen waved his hand to interrupt her: "Treat me to a meal No, that's too simple, it doesn't have any technical content at all. How about this, we've known each other for so long, you haven't tasted my cooking yet, why don't you come and grace me with your presence this time This is much more reasonable than taking me out to eat."

Zhao Yizuo hesitated: "This…"

Ling Chen had already started tidying up the piles of manuscript papers she'd scattered around efficiently. "Don't dawdle like that, you just promised to repay me, don't go back on your word."

"Well then..." Zhao Yizhen agreed, taking a bite of the apple Ling Chen had just passed her. She didn't know where it came from, but it was like an unripe apple, both bitter and sour, so hard to eat it made her want to cry.

Ling Chen was still a person who knew his limits. He didn't bring Zhao Yino to his own home, but chose to go to the place where Zhao Yino rented. Zhao Yino listened and scratched his head awkwardly: "I'm sorry, Ling Chen. I hardly cook, so there's no rice in my place, let alone ingredients."

Ling Chen didn't show the helpless expression she imagined, but laughed very happily: "That's fine too, but as compensation, you have to go to the market with me."

"Huh " Zhao Yizhen hadn't reacted yet when Ling Chen grabbed her sleeve and pulled her away.

The market was filled with the aromas of fresh produce and various meats. Most people here were kind-faced elders accompanied by their grandchildren, or middle-aged couples haggling with vendors. Combinations as peculiar as Zhao Yino and Ling Chen's certainly drew attention.

"Boss, how much is this clam per pound"

"Nine yuan per kilogram."

"No, that's too expensive, I'd buy more for seven yuan."

"Okay, seven pieces then."

Zhao Yinan elbowed Ling Chen: "Only two copper coins, I didn't expect you to haggle."

Ling Chen brought a bag of prepared clams to her face: "This is frugality and thrift. Even wealthy people should know how to live."

Next, Ling Chen took her to buy some fresh fruits and vegetables. Zhao Yino thought to herself, "Ling Chen's bargaining skills are truly exceptional." While it wasn't common to find such agreeable shopkeepers, whenever he opened his mouth, he could always persuade them to agree to his bargain requests.

"Lingchen, do you often come here to buy groceries" Zhao Yino asked.

"Well... not really. I'm usually busy with research at N University, so lunch and dinner are usually in the cafeteria. I rarely have time to cook myself."

Zhao Yino tightened her grip on the bag. "Although I can cook, I always end up making the same few dishes over and over again. Before Gu Wang and I fought or had disagreements, we usually ate meals cooked by a nanny. This time, buying so many ingredients, I'm truly worried we won't be able to finish them all..." start getting chaotic again! Zhou Yang clutched his clothes tightly, his expression a mixture of panic and worry."I'm going to look for my sister-in-law too." With that, Zhou Yang hung up the phone...
