Chapter 71 - Botched Mission

 The meal Dr. Meng crafted ended up with a burnt braised fish.

Chen Ruo Yu really couldn't watch anymore, and so started to make some stir fry vegetable dishes. Then she discovered that Dr. Meng who had a successful career actually forgot to press the button on the rice cooker. The rice had not cooked at all, so by the time the meal was completely ready, her stir fry dishes were cold.

It also took twice as much time as usual for her to tidy the kitchen.

Meng Gu saw that his first attempt at moving her failed, and so he was obedient like a cat. Whatever Chen Ruo Yu asked, he responded promptly.

"I have definitely seen you buy an expensive steak in the supermarket."

"Yes, I really know how to fry a steak."

"How do you fry it?"

"Marinate the steak with the sauce Yin Ze gave me, then heat up the oil, then put the meat down, after it's done, then pour the sauce that Yin Ze gave me, then it's good."

"Then what about the bunch of dishes I saw in your fridge?"

"That situation last time was because I wanted to ask you over to my house for a meal, so I made some preparations ahead of time. In the end, you rushed over and carried your stewed pork shoulder and ran away."

"..." Chen Ruo Yu did not know what else to say, well, the Mr. Tyrannosaurus who had good cooking skills was just her imagination.

"Well, we each have our own strengths." This thick-faced man was still able to argue, "In the future, I will be responsible for the hall, you can be responsible for the kitchen."

Chen Ruo Yu rolled her eyes at him.

When Meng Gu left on this day, he said that he did not plan well, but his next performance was definitely worth looking forward to.

When Chen Ruo Yu was lying in bed at night, she couldn't help but smile when she thought about it.

When she first fell in love with him, she felt that everything was good about him, except for his personality. Now she feels that his personality was not bad either.

Good-looking Mr. Peach blossom forest was actually no more than an ordinary man.

Disillusioned dreams of the rotten peach blossoms, ah, that's wrong, they won't even have a chance to be disillusioned, this opportunity was hers alone.

Chen Ruo Yu entered the land of dreams with a smile.

Since she was an ordinary woman, and Meng Gu was an ordinary man, their love was ordinary.

Send text messages and talk on the phone every day and see each other two or three times a week. Although it wasn't incredibly passionate, Chen Ruo Yu was very satisfied. Although, Meng Gu's side was too busy, sometimes he will be late without saying. Also, there were one or two times when he had to cancel their dates at the last minute, but Chen Ruo Yu was not fussy and didn't mind.

Chen Ruo Yu made several calls to Liang Sisi over this period and reported to her about the status quo with Meng Gu, and she was also concerned about Liang Sisi's situation.

Liang Sisi reported that she did not have any worries and said that she was doing very well, and for Chen Ruo Yu not to worry. But Chen Ruo Yu couldn't let go of it in her heart. Sometimes she would look at the bookshelf of romance novels Liang Sisi left behind and feel that although Sisi was always in relationships, she actually desired to fall in love more than herself.

People who are eager are always more vulnerable.

During this period, she received two phone calls from C city. One was from home, as usual, they asked questions about Chen Ruo Yu and Zhou Zhe's progress on feelings. Chen Ruo Yu wanted to say that she had a boyfriend, but the words were still swallowed back. She hadn't talked to Meng Gu about her family, her parent's personalities, and the behavior of her relatives, she thought it would be better to talk to him about it in advance. Although the matter of love was between two people, in the end, there were still two families involved.

The other phone call was from her good friend, Yang Yang said that the Spring festival was not far away, and Qi Na set up a class reunion and for Chen Ruo Yu to come. Yang Yang said that a few of them have privately gotten to the bottom of that incident of that year about Gao Yu Lan two-timing on her boyfriend, Lu Wei Ping. Lu Wei Ping was originally told that Gao Yu Lan had arranged an event to show love for him, and then Qi Na deliberately called everyone over to catch an adulterous couple and loudly perform.

Yang Yang said, "Ruo Yu, will you be able to come to the reunion? We intend to grab Liu Wei Ping and handle this matter. Regarding this event, a few of us have felt very uncomfortable in our hearts, and so still want to discuss it clearly. You and Lan Lan were wronged. Even if Liu Wei Ping can't testify, we don't want to let Qi Na continue to be so arrogant, it should also be able to make her expression ugly, when she invited us this time, she said a lot of bad words, saying that Lan Lan went over there and is not living well."

Chen Ruo Yu laughed, "Yang Yang, Lan Lan is doing very well, so happy that it makes people envious, you guys are considerate, but I feel that Lan Lan is not the same as she was before, she now has someone to support her, she wouldn't be worried about Qi Na. You can be rest assured, I will attend the class reunion."

After this phone call, Chen Ruo Yu also called Gao Yu Lan. During this time, they also met, and this time they met, Gao Yu Lan had made steady and smooth progress in her relationship, and Chen Ruo Yu was indeed somewhat envious.

She told Gao Yu Lan about the class reunion and confirmed that Gao Yu Lan had received the invitation earlier and would definitely attend. The two of them came to an agreement to go together, and then Chen Ruo Yu spoke to her about the issue of her house.

"Your rent is much cheaper."

"It's one bedroom."

"Hey, hurry up and get married. Even if you don't, just move into Boss Yin's house, anyway, you are already living together, you're already one with Boss Yin. This way you can give me your house." This issue of a house was indeed stressing Chen Ruo Yu out, she was also considering Zhao Xia's proposal to go work for her full-time so that her income would be relatively stable.

On the other end of the phone, Gao Yu Lan hearing Chen Ruo Yu's phrase, "You are already living together anyway" blushed and said a few words. However, she later turned back and told Yin Ze that Chen Ruo Yu was looking for a house, and Yin Ze turned and told Meng Gu.

Therefore, in order to speed up their progress, Meng Gu implemented his second plan to move her.

As Chen Ruo Yu was about to get off work today, she received a call from Meng Gu, "Chen Ruo Yu, have you received my express package? Do you have any thoughts?"

"What express package?"

"You haven't received it? En, they are really inefficient. I will call and inquire."

He went to call them to inquire, and after a long time did not call back. Chen Ruo Yu was not at ease, what did he send?

She called him, and the phone rang for a long time before he answered.

"What did you send me?"

"It's a surprise."

"What surprise?"

"It won't be a surprise if I say it."

"Durian candy?"

"That trick was already used and no longer new."

"Flowers?"

"Miss, the day I sent you flowers, the outcome was that you asked me for the price and said that it could buy more than ten kilograms of cauliflower and afterwards stipulated that I am not allowed to send flowers in the future. Remember?"

"Oh." There was such an event, she felt a lot of heartache, with that bunch of flowers you could eat several meals.

"What exactly did you send? And where is the courier?"

"He said that he has too many deliveries on his hands, and so is running very late. I asked him to deliver it tomorrow. You don't have to wait, get off work early, and go home to rest. I don't have time today, let's have dinner together tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay." But she was not worried about eating right now, she was still fixated on the package, "What did you send me?" Why did she have an ominous premonition?

"You will know when you receive it tomorrow."

"No, tell me now."

Meng Gu was left with no choice and so said, "Just a bank card."

"What did you say?" Chen Ruo Yu stood up and shouted. Her surrounding colleagues looked up at her in surprise, and then she took the phone and went outside to deal with this.

"Dr. Meng, you will not be so vulgar as to directly send me money, right?"

"Of course not, am I that tasteless? It is not my general bank card, it is my salary card." Meng Gu himself thought that this was very creative. This move was both romantic and moving.

"What did you say?" Chen Ruo Yu felt that he was going crazy, "Are you joking with me?"

"Not joking." Well, Meng Gu admitted that his dear girlfriend's reaction absolutely cannot be called moved.

"You put the salary card in a paper package and handed it to a courier who you don't know, and now the person holding your card, you don't know where he is?" Chen Ruo Yu's heart was raging.

"Well..." Meng Gu couldn't help but defend himself, "According to the process, the courier I handed the card over to, took it and handed it over to the courier company, and now another courier is sending it to you. So there won't be anything you're talking about like running off with the card, they don't know what is in the box. I wrapped it very carefully, it is safe and packaged like a gift. Besides, they don't know what the pin number is..."

"Give me the express package number and the courier phone number!"  Chen Ruo Yu interrupted him, chaotic was not enough to describe her current mood.

Meng Gu gave her the numbers, Chen Ruo Yu rushed back into the office, wrote it down and immediately hung up on Meng Gu, and ran outside to call the courier. The courier made the same statement as Meng Gu: There are too many deliveries, and so will send it tomorrow.

"No matter how many deliveries you have, my package is the most important, I am waiting for you, you must come." Chen Ruo Yu's overbearing tone stunned the courier, the employee tried to hem and haw to explain that they couldn't deliver it today.

"Don't say this, I must get that package today, if you can't deliver it, I'll come to collect it! Tell me, where are you?" This was a salary card, ah, this was not a trivial matter at all, really didn't have a sense of priority. Was a bank card something to play with? If she didn't see the card safely arrive today, how can she sleep?

In the end, the courier was really afraid of Chen Ruo Yu so he promised to deliver hers first, then Chen Ruo Yu stopped.

After she finished the call, Chen Ruo Yu immediately gave Meng Gu a call and informed him that the courier was sending it to her now. She said that she would wait at her company for it and fiercely said, "If I don't receive it today, I won't forgive you." She didn't wait for Meng Gu to say anything and hung up.

She held her phone, looking at the phone screen, Mr. Peach blossom forest, she poked the back of his head. How far has this man's brain developed? To actually send his salary card to his girlfriend by express delivery, this was called a romantic move?

It's an "X", it almost scared her to death, okay?

Chen Ruo Yu waited for half an hour, and finally, the courier arrived with her package. She very carefully inspected the goods before signing. The courier saw her fierce demeanor and couldn't help but allow her to go ahead and check.

Chen Ruo Yu opened the package and saw a beautiful gift box, she opened it and saw a bank card safely lying inside the box, she immediately let out a sigh of relief and then signed the express delivery slip.

The courier also looked into the content of the box, and his face showed understanding, "Your boyfriend is very generous."

Chen Ruo Yu swept him a glance, "Why is that as you said boyfriend, I got the feeling of hearing financial backer?"

"How come? Miss, you also don't have the appearance of someone that is being kept." The courier uncle waved his hand as he said this, the expression on his face did not seem convinced. As he walked out, he muttered to himself, "Nowadays, everyone has it."

Chen Ruo Yu saw that the card was safe, and her anger was not so big, but when she thought of Meng Gu doing this, She wouldn't count him scaring her to death, but he also made people think she was that kind of woman, she again felt uncomfortable. She called Meng Gu and told him that she would properly talk to him about this when they met.

In the evening, Chen Ruo Yu was lying on her bed and holding Meng Gu's salary card in her hand. Now that the matter had passed, she was no longer angry and now felt indescribably a little sweet in her heart.

Well, this man gave her a salary card, and although the process was scary, now the card was in her hand, it felt sweet.

Mr. Tyrannosaurus, you are still a social elite, so childish.

However childish, it's quite adorable.

That's wrong, must not think he is adorable in doing this kind of stupid stupid thing, it can barely pass as abominable and can become a hobby.

It was only just a little bit adorable, that's all.
