Chapter 109 - 109 Simple and plain
?Chapter 109: Simple and plain Chapter 109: Simple and plain After taking off her coat, Victoria was wearing a simple white round-neck cashmere sweater and a pair of navy blue high-waisted jeans. The cashmere sweater tucked into her jeans showcased her youthful style.
“Are you hungry?” Arnold asked her first.
Victoria shook her head and counter-questioned, “Are you hungry?”
“You’re getting to know me better.”
“…”
Victoria ignored him and went straight to the kitchen, opened the fridge and found it impeccably clean.
“What do you want to eat?” she turned to look at him.
Arnold smiled and leaned in, “You.”
“Speak like a human.” She stared at him seriously.
“To eat tofu.” He gazed at her with a wicked smile, unwilling to look away for a considerable time.
“Speak seriously.”
“I am being very serious.”
“But your expression isn’t serious.” Don’t treat me like a clueless three-year-old, okay?
This time, he smiled very earnestly and said, “I want to eat appetizer chili.”
Upon hearing this, Victoria thought that this was the proper attitude for a person to have while eating.
“Done.” She asked generously, “Do you want anything else?”
“Are you sure you want me to order?”
“Just three dishes and a soup.” Victoria quickly replied.
Just the appetizer chili, Victoria felt it was a hassle, so she could infer that Arnold’s food preferences were very picky.
Appetizer chili looks simple, but the method is quite complicated.
The chili is first fried on both sides until charred, then the charred skin is peeled off, the cooled chili is cut into small pieces, and finally, the seasoning is quickly stir-fried.
This produces a chili that is both refreshing and appetizing.
“Salted egg yolk stewed eggplant, meat-stuffed bitter melon, and chicken broth with three mushrooms soup,” Arnold unceremoniously listed the names of the other two dishes and a soup.
Victoria felt a headache coming on, so she smiled and tried to appease him, “How about we try something different?”
“Sure.” Arnold’s smile was exceptionally deep, and he didn’t forget to glance at the bedroom before saying, “First, we need to find a place to discuss… ”
“No need to discuss, just those three dishes and a soup,” Victoria said at the fastest speed, “We’ll go to the supermarket now to buy groceries.”
No matter how troublesome those three dishes and a soup were, she could make them with some effort. It was better than discussing it in bed.
Comparatively, Victoria felt more comfortable working hard.
At this moment, she had completely forgotten the demands from before in their contract.
Arnold smiled and followed behind her.
“Shall I drive you today?”
“Sure.”
“You have to finish everything I cook today, okay?”
“Sure.”
“I’ll pay for groceries today, okay?”
“Not this one.”
Victoria asked, “Why not?”
“A man paying for things is just like a woman being inherently able to bear children; it’s only natural.”
“…”
Why did Victoria feel that his explanation was so awkward?
Afterward, she felt his words were permeated with chauvinism.
Soon, the two of them entered the supermarket. The variety of vegetables made Victoria wish she could take them all back. This feeling made her feel like she was gradually turning into a girlfriend or a wife, only she hadn’t realized it herself.
Arnold was always by her side, watching her skillfully pick out fresh vegetables…
