Hearing this, Yan Ge laughed again. “Yes, I’ve been here since 2:00 p.m., but they said you were out at a meeting, and they didn’t know when you would come back. Anyway, I have nothing to do this afternoon, so I have been waiting in the lounge downstairs from your company. Now, you’ve finally come back.”
This big boy, who loved to laugh, lessened the repulsion of strangers in Ji Nuan. And as a future member of the special police force, he gave her a sense of security, so she wasn’t repulsive of him.
“This bowl of noodles has just been served, and I haven’t touched it. You can eat it.” Ji Nuan gently pushed the bowl of noodles to Yan Ge.
Yan Ge looked at her. “Isn’t this your noodles? Sister Nuan, won’t you eat it?”
“I’m not hungry, and I’ll order one when I’m hungry. Just eat it.” Ji Nuan handed him disposable chopsticks.
Yan Ge was a bit shy, but he was really hungry. He hesitated and looked at Ji Nuan.
Ji Nuan blinked at him, saying with a smile, “I’m on a diet. Don’t be polite. Just eat it.”
Hearing that she was on a diet, Yan Ge laughed again. “I wonder why you girls are always on a diet, although you’re already skinny. I’m starving. I’m going to eat it. Sister Nuan, please order another bowl. Don’t starve yourself!”
Ji Nuan nodded.
Yan Ge opened the chopsticks, took a mouthful of noodles, and gave her a thumbs-up, exclaiming, “It’s delicious! It’s really good!”
Ji Nuan laughed and watched Yan Ge happily eat up the slices of meat in the bowl. Then as if remembering someone, she looked at the man sitting opposite her.
Mo Jingshen’s cold and stern face remained deadpan. He just coldly looked at Yan Ge, who almost finished the noodles in a few bites and said indifferently, “Eat slowly and don’t get choked.”
Yan Ge suddenly coughed and almost got choked. He put down the chopsticks, looked at the man opposite who looked a bit cross, paused, and turned to look at Ji Nuan. “When did this man sit here?”
Ji Nuan: “…”
Yan Ge had been looking for Ji Nuan since he had come in and had not looked at anyone else, nor had he glanced in any other direction since he had sat down, so he didn’t notice someone was sitting opposite her.
When Mo Jingshen, who had been ignored by them, saw that Yan Ge was sitting closer to Ji Nuan as he spoke, a cold gleam flashed through his eyes.
“Sister Nuan, who is he? Do you know him?” Seeing this man stare at him coldly, Yan Ge stared back and drew closer to Ji Nuan, asking her in a low voice.
“Well.” Ji Nuan picked up a few napkins from the table and handed them to Yan Ge. “A pa.s.serby. We just share this table. Just ignore him.”
Yan Ge looked around, and all the tables were occupied indeed, so what Ji Nuan said was quite convincing.
He nodded and noticed that the man sitting opposite was wearing a black s.h.i.+rt and a black trouser, which looked expensive and the man didn’t look like an ordinary person.
Yan Ge couldn’t help wondering how delicious the food of this beef noodle restaurant was. Why were there so many bigshots patronizing here?
Finis.h.i.+ng the bowl of noodles, Yan Ge picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth, calling the waiter, “Waiter, I want two bowls more.”
“Two bowls?” Ji Nuan was surprised.
“I’ll have one more bowl, and you should eat one bowl too.” Yan Ge turned to smile at her and showed his white teeth. “It’s on me today! Sister Nuan, just eat as much as you can!”
The corner of Ji Nuan’s mouth twitched. “Thank you, but I’m not hungry. Just order one more bowl.”
Seeing that she really didn’t want the noodles, Yan Ge thought about it. He couldn’t finish two more bowls, so he ordered one bowl in the end.
Ji Nuan could understand how a tall, athletic young man like him who was from the special police forces could easily finish a bowl or two of beef noodles in one gulp. Yan Ge didn’t look fat at all, and his tall and strong figure was very masculine. She sat by and waited for him to eat without making a sound.
Ji Nuan talked to Yan Ge with a smile and patiently handed him napkins, which all fell into Mo Jingshen’s eyes.
Ji Nuan glanced at the bowl of noodles in front of Mo Jingshen, which had been put there for more than ten minutes and had become a blob. She took a look at him as if asking him why he didn’t eat it.
Mo Jingshen sneered.
When Yan Ge almost finished eating the second bowl of noodles, he asked the waiter for a bottle of mineral water. After taking a mouthful of water, he put it down, turned his eyes to Ji Nuan, and looked at her intently, asking, “Sister Nuan, you’ll be my boss from now on, right? Is this your first time hiring a bodyguard? Have you ever had a bodyguard before? My job is to keep you safe, isn’t it?”
His words reminded Ji Nuan of Feng Ling. The smile on her face became tenderer. “I used to have a female bodyguard, but she is now abroad and should not come back in the short term.”
“A female bodyguard? How is her martial skill?”
“She was a women’s close combat champion in the United States and a shooting instructor at some special bases, so you know how strong she is,” Ji Nuan said, smiling.
Yan Ge nodded. “Ok, I see. Sister Nuan, you can rest a.s.sured. My martial skill is also good, and I can guarantee your safety!”
Ji Nuan looked at his serious face and then at the noodles on his chopsticks and chuckled. “Why are you called Yan Ge? I think you should be named Yan Su. Just take your food. We’ll talk about work tomorrow.”
Glad to see that Ji Nuan was not the kind of boss who was cold, arrogant and unapproachable, Yan Ge took a big bite of the noodles and stopped talking.
At this time, Shen Mu came in from outside. He walked up to Mo Jingshen and whispered a few words. They seemed to have something to tend to. Mo Jingshen took a look at Ji Nuan and Yan Ge, who was still eating the noodles, frowned, and then threw the bill on the table without saying a word and coldly got up to leave.
As soon as he left, Ji Nuan’s gaze rested on the bill on the table. Mo Jingshen seldom carried money with him before. Even when he accompanied her to do grocery shopping, he would swipe his credit card. She never thought he would have the habit of carrying money with him now.
Habit?
Habits were a horrible thing. She had only given up on him for a year or two, so she didn’t want to get involved with him again.
The door of the beef noodle restaurant opened and closed. Ji Nuan took a drink from the gla.s.s and was silent.
After finis.h.i.+ng eating the noodles, Yan Ge raised his eyes to see the one hundred yuan on the table and asked in surprise, “This pa.s.serby is really generous. Is it his treat? Oh, he must be very rich. We just shared a table with him, and he has treated us for dinner!”
Ji Nuan: “…”
“But why didn’t he even touch his noodles? Oh, didn’t the waiter check the noodles when they were served? Why isn’t there a piece of meat in his bowl?”
Ji Nuan: “…”
