Since Tang Wan was going back to Beijing, Yang Cheng didn't want to make things difficult for her. He simply wished them a safe journey and hung up.
After talking about these things, the depression in Yang Cheng's heart dissipated a lot. He looked at the time and it was already afternoon. He remembered that he had promised to find time to visit Liu Mingyu's new place, so he called Liu Mingyu.
Liu Mingyu was in her office looking at some new project documents. She had been quite busy these days. After Lin Ruoxi returned from Europe, she didn't relax but increased the expansion efforts. All kinds of acquisitions, mergers, and integrations came one after another. The terrifying financial resources of Yu Lei were like a raging bull, every PR department was running around all day, talking about this and that.
Receiving Yang Cheng's call, Liu Mingyu took off her black-framed glasses and smiled. She could roughly guess the reason why Yang Cheng called. She picked up the call and asked, "Are you free now?"
Yang Cheng was stunned and smiled bitterly. Was his mind that simple? Liu Mingyu guessed it right away. "When are you getting off work? I'll pick you up."
"It's not like I don't have a car," Liu Mingyu said, "You're also from Yu Lei, you should know when to get off work."
Yang Cheng rubbed his nose. "You don't have to be so harsh when you're one of us. I'm just being considerate."
"Hypocrite, just say it if you want me to skip work," Liu Mingyu smiled.
Yang Cheng felt wronged. He really didn't mean to ask her to skip work. But on second thought, Liu Mingyu did it on purpose. So he went with the flow and smiled. "Since you've found out about this, you should skip work. I'll pick you up right away. It won't feel good if I take a different car to your place."
"At least you know what's good for you." Liu Mingyu immediately hung up.
Liu Mingyu was really tired from work these days. It was rare for her to have some private space with Yang Cheng. She also wanted to put her work on hold for the time being, so she thought of skipping work.
Half an hour later, Yang Cheng drove Liu Mingyu out of the parking lot of Yu Lei International. Adele's music was still playing in the car. Qiangwei had bought it yesterday and hadn't changed it.
Liu Mingyu asked curiously, "I didn't know that you would like to listen to Adele's songs. I thought that a heartless man like you should listen to some easy and simple songs."
"What do you mean by heartless?" Yang Cheng pursed his lips in dissatisfaction. "Can't you use another adjective? Like suave, unrestrained, and so on. Besides, this CD isn't for me."
"Then who is it for?" Liu Mingyu was confused.
Yang Cheng fidgeted and said, "Yesterday, Qiangwei listened to it when she was sitting in my car."
Liu Mingyu knew Qiangwei. Because of Liu Qingshan, she already knew that Yang Cheng had a lover, the president of the Red Thorns Society, Situ Qiangwei.
Now that she heard Yang Cheng say it, she nodded, "So it's her … If there's a chance in the future, I'll meet her."
Yang Cheng laughed to himself. You two women can be considered "kindred spirits".
After the car drove for a while, Yang Cheng remembered and asked, "You haven't told me where you live yet."
Liu Mingyu pondered for a while and said, "Don't go to my place for now. Let's go to the market so that I can buy some fresh vegetables and meat. Come to my place to cook tonight."
Of course, Yang Cheng had no objections. Speaking of which, he had a lot of women around him. Only Mo Qianni and Lin Ruoxi could cook. They were still in the training stage. Therefore, if Liu Mingyu wanted to show off her skills, he would be happy to enjoy it.
When the car arrived at the market, Yang Cheng accompanied Liu Mingyu out of the car. The two of them were like an ordinary young couple who came to buy groceries on their way home from work.
Before Liu Mingyu knew the real identity of her father, she had been growing up like an ordinary girl in Zhonghai City. Therefore, she could do everything that ordinary girls could do.
Along the way, Liu Mingyu had to haggle over the price of whatever she wanted, regardless of whether it was vegetables or meat. She would argue with her husband for a long time, and even put on a show of 'leave if you don't want to sell it'. Yang Chen had to play along and make an 'impatient' expression.
Yang Cheng looked at this scene and felt it was quite fresh. He didn't know if Lin Ruoxi would be like this when she accompanied Mother Wang to buy groceries. It was probably very difficult. Although Lin Ruoxi had been talking more recently, she was still cold to strangers. Haggling? She might not even do it in her next life.
Every time they bought something at a low price, Liu Mingyu would show a radiant smile and hand the plastic bag to Yang Cheng before they went to the next store.
"Are you really that happy? We're not short of money, so why are you so happy when you're only saving a couple of yuan?" Yang Cheng smiled.
Pouting her lips, Liu Mingyu rolled her eyes at Yang Cheng and replied, "What do you know? Money isn't the main point. The main point is the process of haggling. Haggling is a form of pleasure. If I don't haggle in the market, it'll be worse than killing me."
"Did your mother teach you this?" Yang Cheng asked curiously.
Nodding her head, Liu Mingyu smiled. "When I was young, my father was still in Beijing, and my mother brought me up. The two of us didn't have a good life, so we naturally had to be frugal. I followed my mother and haggled for groceries and clothes, so I naturally got used to it. Although I'm working in a fashion company like Yu Lei International, I'm still clear about the prices in the market. Many things are just branded, and once the brand is removed, they're just street goods. "
Looking at Liu Mingyu's cute expression, Yang Cheng sighed. He knew that he didn't understand the women around him enough. He never expected that Liu Mingyu would have such a 'street' side to her.
However, if you love someone, you'll naturally love the things she loves. Yang Chen quickly got used to Liu Mingyu's shouting and haggling. He even joined in the haggling war in the end, which made him very happy.
Naturally, it wasn't fast to buy groceries in this manner. They only managed to buy everything after half an hour.
By the time they arrived at Liu Mingyu's high-class apartment, it was already night time.
The apartment in this district was designed to be environmentally friendly, and the air-conditioner was regulated by geothermal and underground water technology. Although it was an apartment, the area was an entire floor, so the price could be comparable to some small villas.
Liu Qingshan might not be much about other things, but he was willing to spend money on his daughter. Otherwise, with Liu Mingyu's salary, she wouldn't dare to buy such an apartment in her lifetime.
Yang Chen carried bags of various sizes as he followed Liu Mingyu up the elevator to the top floor. Liu Mingyu was the only one living on this floor, which was rather wasteful.
"Tsk, tsk. It's really different with a rich father!" Yang Cheng sighed with a smile.
Liu Mingyu blushed, "Actually, I didn't ask to buy this place. It was my father who insisted that I live here."
"What's there to be embarrassed about? He abandoned you and your mother to go to Beijing a few years ago. This is to make up for not taking good care of you all these years. You can spend his money as much as you want. He can't be more than happy." Yang Cheng egged her on.
Liu Mingyu ignored him and took out the key to open the door. Then, she asked Yang Cheng to bring the things into the kitchen.
The interior of the large apartment was decorated in a warm beige color. The light coffee colored leather sofa, the gorgeous patterned wool carpet, and all kinds of the latest electronic products were available. There was even a magnetic massage bed that was worth tens of thousands of yuan.
This place was even more luxurious than Lin Ruoxi, the CEO. The renovations and the house probably cost tens of millions. Liu Qingshan really invested a lot for this daughter of his.
"Just sit on the sofa. I'll go cook in the kitchen. We can eat in an hour." Liu Mingyu took off her work uniform and changed into a light blue shirt and white tights. She let down her hair and looked much more delicate.
"An hour? That's too long! " Yang Cheng said gloomily, "I thought we could eat in half an hour. I'm already hungry. How about I help you? My cooking skills are average, but I'm a master chef when it comes to chopping."
"Can you do it?" Liu Mingyu looked at Yang Cheng doubtfully, "What if I cut my finger?"
"Even if I cut my finger, it wouldn't be because of my knife skills. It's definitely because of you." Yang Cheng smiled.
"Why? Why would it be because of me?" Liu Mingyu asked in return.
Yang Cheng showed a regretful expression, "Who asked us to have a beautiful chef at home. She's so beautiful that she took my eyes away. Of course, I had to cut my finger …"
"You're so talkative. I think you'll be fine after you seal your mouth." Liu Mingyu was happy in her heart, but she still snorted.
The division of labor was decided. Yang Cheng went into the kitchen to help cut the ingredients while Liu Mingyu cooked. The two of them chatted and laughed like a real couple.
Yang Cheng's speed was very fast. He could do things like cutting potatoes with his eyes closed. After he was done, he leaned against the kitchen door and watched Liu Mingyu, who was wearing an apron and stirring the oil in the pot.
Women often felt that men were especially attractive when they were doing things seriously. Men often felt that women who were serious about cooking were also very attractive.
A faint warmth spread in Yang Cheng's heart. He recalled the little things they had experienced since they met. The time he could spend with her was very little.
But in reality, Liu Mingyu really didn't want much. She was busy and worked hard to prepare this dinner because she knew that this was a rare opportunity, so she especially cherished it.
Most of the time, love wasn't about getting something, but how much one wanted to give.
