224: Chapter 224 Being Too Clever

Just as Su Nange's thoughts drifted, a fragrant scent wafted towards him.

Tang Li was nimble, lightly searing the braised beef in oil before pouring in boiling water.

The braised beef was stimulated by the hot oil and merged with the boiling water, looking like a rich soup.

Then, after adding a few vegetable leaves, the delicious soup base was complete.

Tang Li was very meticulous, using a separate pot of fresh water to boil the noodles.

The noodles she used weren't the dry, hanging noodles, but the vacuum-sealed hand-pulled noodles she had bought.

The flour on the surface was washed away by the boiling water, and then they were scooped into the beef soup, appearing even smoother.

Finally, Tang Li fried two poached eggs and placed them on top of the noodles.

"Boss, it's ready to eat."

Su Nange walked to a small table. Looking at the large bowl of fragrant noodles, he really did feel a bit hungry.

Tang Li wasn't bragging; just by the smell and look of it, this bowl of noodles was tastier than those in the mall downstairs.

However, Su Nange noticed that the ingredients in Tang Li's bowl were much more meager compared to his own.

Su Nange naturally used his chopsticks to pick up several slices of beef and put them in Tang Li's bowl.

Tang Li didn't dare to look up, but Su Nange could tell that the woman was a bit nervous.

He originally wanted to say a few words of concern, but the words reached his lips and he swallowed them back down.

Drinking the soup before eating the noodles, Su Nange couldn't help but praise: "Your skills are really quite good."

Tang Li also drank the noodle soup: "I don't know how to make anything else, just these noodles."

"What I ate the most growing up was noodles. Because it's simple and doesn't require many side dishes."

"If there can be some meat in the noodles like this, that's the greatest happiness."

Su Nange thought to himself, 'Can one grow up to be this beautiful just by eating noodles? Your Tang family's genes are pretty good.'

'Damn, what the hell are you saying again?'

"Haha, but now, you can eat whatever you want. You've already made a name for yourself."

Tang Li looked at him with a face full of admiration: "But it's only because of you, Boss, that I can be like this."

Tang Li looked at Su Nange, her gaze as fiery as the soup in the bowl.

Su Nange: 'Oh boy, I told myself I shouldn't come to eat noodles. Doing this, aren't you forcing me to be a capitalist dog?'

Especially this woman; below her left eye, there was a tear mole that looked like it had been lightly dotted with an ink brush. It made Tang Li appear very gentle and pure.

No, too similar, way too similar. Especially since Tang Li was wearing an OL suit, she looked even more like a certain teacher he had seen.

Su Nange felt incredibly stifled.

"Alright, alright. Anyway, even if you compare me to Bo Le, you first have to be a Thousand-Mile Horse yourself."

"Boss, I'm willing to be your Red Hare. As long as you're willing to ride me, I'll accompany you to fight in all directions."

Su Nange was amused and exasperated at the same time.

'Damn, you stupid woman, this metaphor is a bit much. I suspect you're really driving a car! You're doing it on purpose, aren't you?'

"What kind of blind rhetoric is that? Alright, alright, just eat your noodles. After eating, drive me back to the apartment."

"You got it, Boss!"

Su Nange watched the Land Rover turn around and head back, finally breathing a sigh of relief.

He felt stifled. And there was another man who felt just as stifled as he did.

"Why are you leaving again right after coming back?"

Chen Liuxin was packing her suitcase. Facing Wang Qiang's question, she also felt somewhat helpless.

"There's a problem with a deal I just signed. Your cousin has an appointment to have dinner with that boss again tomorrow and told me to go over."

"How about you just stop working? What's wrong with staying at home?" Seeing his wife go out every day to accompany bosses made Wang Qiang feel a bit uncomfortable.

"Sure, then buy me a Cayenne, and I won't go."

Wang Qiang asked, "Why suddenly a Cayenne?"

"Haha, nothing. I just saw Su Nange's mistress driving a Cayenne."

Wang Qiang grew interested: "Su Nange's mistress?"

Chen Liuxin replied while picking up clothes, "Yeah, the one living right next to us. The one you liked that house for and didn't want to let anyone else have."

"How do you know she's Su Nange's mistress?"

"That girl isn't the one Su Nange brought to the class reunion. Isn't that called a mistress? Oh wait, maybe she's the fourth, haha."

"By the way, are you going to buy me a Cayenne?"

Wang Qiang: "I'll buy it, but wait for a while. The company just took an order, and there's pressure on the capital advance."

Chen Liuxin laughed: "So, you don't have his strength, so why do you keep comparing yourself to others?"

"And, let me tell you one more thing. When Su Nange bought the house for her, he actually put that woman's name on it."

"Unlike you, who keeps saying you'll buy me a house in the Provincial Capital, but does it have anything to do with me?"

Wang Qiang was displeased: "Chen Liuxin, I've spent quite a lot of money on you, haven't I? Are you still unable to forget that man, Su Nange?"

"Wang Qiang, get one thing straight first. You're the one who's always secretly comparing yourself to Su Nange."

"Even his mistress drives a Cayenne. I'm your original wife, yet I only drive a car worth less than 300,000."

"So, I'm going to earn some money myself. Is it not okay for me to buy a Cayenne on my own? Do you still have a problem with that?"

Wang Qiang was left speechless by his girlfriend.

"Fine, I'll go call my brother and ask what exactly is going on."

Wang Qiang walked out, and Chen Liuxin smiled disdainfully.

She thought to herself: 'Wang Qiang, how did you get me in the first place? Then you shouldn't have anything to complain about when others use the same method on you.'

The next day, Wang Cheng saw that familiar figure at the train station again.

Chen Liuxin teased: "Did you call me back in such a hurry on purpose? Wang Qiang is starting to get suspicious."

Wang Cheng shook his head: "It's really hard to handle this time. I talked to Wang Qiang yesterday, and he even begged me to think of a way."

Even in the middle of winter, Chen Liuxin still wore a pair of thin stockings. However, paired with over-the-knee boots, she looked very elegant.

Along the way, she certainly caught the eyes of passersby.

She got into Wang Cheng's car and asked: "Does my husband begging you more make you enjoy this feeling even more?"

Wang Cheng's old face turned red for once: "It used to be, but now, I'm afraid it really isn't. Liu Xin, I feel like I've really fallen in love with you."

"How about you leave Wang Qiang?"

"Haha, shouldn't you say those words to him? Do you think you're more handsome and talented than him? But, you're not as rich as he is."

Wang Cheng actually understood this woman even better than his younger brother did.

Working at the bank, he had seen too many people. A woman like Chen Liuxin wasn't just a pretty face.

She was very ambitious, or one could say, she was a very realistic person.

And Chen Liuxin, looking at the skyscrapers of the Provincial Capital, thought: 'Am I realistic? Maybe. But isn't this what society taught me?'

'Wang Qiang and Wang Cheng are my teachers.'

The two in the car had a tacit understanding and went straight back to Chen Liuxin's house in the Provincial Capital, where Wang Cheng vented his desires.

Chen Liuxin asked: "What about tonight? Is it the same routine?"

Wang Cheng's face was red as he smoked a cigarette, not answering.

Chen Liuxin seemed indifferent: "Alright, I get it. Anyway, this is our fate as women."

Wang Cheng stubbed out his cigarette and shook his head helplessly: "Tonight, Liao Yaoguang only wants you to go alone."

"Then what happens if I don't go? I can do without this deal. Money can be earned anywhere."

Wang Cheng fell silent again.

Chen Liuxin understood. In reality, this man who kept saying he loved her had no sense of responsibility at all.

All Wang Cheng cared about was himself.

Seeing through him, Chen Liuxin issued an eviction notice: "Then you should leave first. Send me the address for tonight, and I'll go by myself."

Meanwhile, Su Nange received an unexpected call at noon.

"Boss Su, hello, I'm Liao Yaoguang. Haha, let's have dinner together tonight?"

Su Nange didn't want to go to dinner at all, but this Big Boss Liao was acting very mysterious.

He kept telling him everything was settled.

Settled Wang Cheng? Su Nange thought he might as well go and see.

In the evening, a massive Range Rover stopped outside a private club.

"Lili, you go back first. No need to pick me up later."

Su Nange got out of the car coolly and walked inside.

Chen Liuxin, however, had arrived very early according to the appointment with Boss Liao.

She was dressed meticulously, looking dignified yet revealing a hint of playing hard to get everywhere.

To describe it with one word, it was provocative.

Liao Yaoguang's heart did itch a bit seeing her. A woman with a profession and a fiancé had a natural buff.

But tonight was prepared for Su Nange. He was still counting on that technology company to regain his former glory.

So, Liao Yaoguang was very direct with Chen Liuxin.

"Miss Chen, if you don't want your relationship with Wang Cheng to be known by your fiancé... then tonight, you better perform well for me."

"Otherwise, I can make everything you both have now turn into zero!"

Facing the pressure from a top-tier figure in Qiantang, Chen Liuxin was still a bit nervous.

Anyway, since she chose to come, she was prepared.

Maybe by serving this big shot well, she could take off—who knows.
