Sit at the wrong table on a blind date, get married to the heir of a billionaire family

In the evening, Meng Yan worked overtime as usual.

Just after the meeting, I received a message from Gan Qi on my phone:

"Mr. Meng, are you sure you will be at home for dinner tomorrow night? If so, I will prepare it in advance."

Meng Yan simply replied: "Yes."

As Gan Qi expected, she originally wanted to take this opportunity to have a meal at a restaurant with a better environment, but considering her aunt's character, she would go to the place where she lived to "investigate" anyway.

Instead of doing this, it’s better to invite them directly to your home.

"Okay, let's just ask them to set fire to the bottom of the pot."

Meng Yan lowered his head and stared at the words "burning the bottom of the pot" with some doubts.

He had never heard of such a down-to-earth word, but he was too embarrassed to ask her, probably out of a man's pride, so he took his mobile phone to search for the meaning of "burning the bottom of the pot".

Only then did I realize that it was a custom among ordinary people.

"it is good."

Gan Qi confirmed again: "Only your younger brother will come to your house tomorrow, right?"

She always remembered how brother Meng Yan helped her, and planned to thank him no matter what tomorrow.

Meng Yan's parents are still abroad and it is not convenient to come back now. Gan Qi understands the difficulties of his parents' generation.

In order to make money to support the family, it is not easy to go to work in a foreign country at an early age.

However, if her parents were still alive, she would rather earn less money and stay with them more.

"Then it's settled, let's make time to prepare meals in advance tomorrow."

Just as Meng Yan was about to reply to Gan Qi's message, he received a call from his younger brother Meng Tinghao.

"Brother, I will meet my new sister-in-law tomorrow. I have designed a new identity for myself. Then I will say that I am a clerk in a certain company."

Meng Yan said calmly: "Your identity is Shen Tulong's secretary and assistant."

"what?"

Meng Tinghao was extremely surprised. He didn't know what happened to his eldest brother, but he actually gave himself such an identity?

"Why should I be his secretary and assistant? He should be my assistant." Meng Tinghao was young and energetic, but he was dissatisfied.

"Don't worry about it, just do as I say." Meng Yan's tone was unquestionable.

Meng Tinghao reluctantly agreed. His carefully prepared rhetoric was rejected by his elder brother, but he did not dare to resist.

Meng Yan seldom showed his emotions on weekdays, but his family members knew that despite his seemingly gentle temper, he always spoke the truth.

Several younger brothers in the family are afraid of this elder brother.

"Then is there anything else I need to pay attention to?" Meng Tinghao asked his elder brother aggrievedly.

"When the time comes, stop talking and just be a normal person."

"Oh."

night.

As soon as Meng Yan returned home, he found that the house had been cleaned and decorated.

There was also a vase of flowers placed on the table, adding a warm atmosphere.

There are several plates of fruits and snacks placed on the coffee table in the living room.

Gan Qi was lowering her head to pack the refrigerator and freezer. When she saw Meng Yan coming home, she smiled and said hello.

"Mr. Meng, are you working overtime again today?"

Wearing rubber gloves, she wiped the sweat from her forehead with her wrist.

This scene reminded Gan Qi of the busy nanny aunt in Canada.

"Why are you so tired? Just call the housekeeping company."

Gan Qi smiled: "The house is not dirty to begin with, so I won't be tired if I clean it up easily."

Besides, housekeeping is so expensive nowadays. Please clean your house for at least 200 yuan.

My uncle and aunt will come over tomorrow, and the arrangements will be better so that it feels like a ceremony.

In fact, Gan Qi doesn't have deep feelings for her uncle and aunt, and she doesn't understand many of their living habits.

But, after all, they are family members after living together for so many years.

The etiquette that needs to be done is still done.

Gan Qi picked up a bag of packed meat and said, "These are the pork belly strips that are on sale in the supermarket today. I put them on the second layer of the refrigerator."

"Ah."

"By the way, I just tried to use the automatic cooking machine to fry a plate of vegetables. It was very convenient."

Only then did Meng Yan notice the plate of green dishes on the dining table.

"easy to use?"

Gan Qi: "It's good, but I'm not used to it. Suddenly I feel like housewives will lose their jobs in the future. What should I do? I'm getting anxious."

She smiled as if she was joking.

"Mr. Meng, are you nervous?"

Meng Yan: "Why are you nervous?"

"My uncle, aunt, cousin, and brother-in-law will see you tomorrow."

Meng Yan: "Then what's there to be nervous about..."

It's a joke. He has never experienced such a big battle. It should be because others are nervous.

Gan Qi was always worried about Meng Yan, fearing that he would feel embarrassed if he was alone and weak tomorrow.

until night.

Gan Qi was lying on the bed in her room.

She was still worried about tomorrow's meeting, hoping that her aunt would put aside her snobbery and find less fault with Meng Yan's family.

Meng Yan's family will only have one younger brother coming over tomorrow. I don't know if his personality is easy to get along with.

Don't be like his brother and be cold all day long, right?

-

Soon, the next day arrived when I opened my eyes!

Today is very important, but Gan Qi's eyelids keep twitching.

It is said that "when the left eye jumps, wealth will fall, and when the right eye jumps, disaster will happen", but it was the right eye that jumped, so she was a little nervous.

In the afternoon, Gan Qi made plans in advance and did not go to work. Instead, she came back early to make preparations.

Halfway through the phone call was made to Meng Yan: "Mr. Meng, where are you now?"

At this time, Meng Yan didn't realize the difference between today and usual times, and he didn't know how tired he would be next.

He just said casually: "The company just finished a meeting, what happened?"

Gan Qi's tone was slightly interesting, "Shall we go shopping together?"

Shopping for groceries?

Meng Yan was stunned. He was really unfamiliar with these two words.

Gan Qi thought that he had made preparations in advance like she did, but she didn't know that Meng Yan's schedule today had not been changed as usual, and he only planned to go home for dinner after get off work.

Gan Qi: "The two families met today and we prepared meals together. It must be a great sense of accomplishment."

"..."

Meng Yan originally thought that eating was a simple matter.His idea is very simple. When he gets off work, he can just go to the hotel and order some wine and food to be delivered to his home.

Unexpectedly, Gan Qi seemed to want to do it herself.

Gan Qi's tone couldn't stop being excited: "Well... is it convenient for you to take leave today?"

Because she knew that he was in a big company and was very busy on weekdays, so she would understand if he really couldn't take leave.

Meng Yan thought for a moment, looked up at his secretary, and asked about this afternoon's schedule with his eyes.

The secretary responded very quickly and whispered in his ear: "Mr. Meng, there is nothing important in the afternoon. You can make time."

Originally, he could have refused, but it was not good to let Gan Qi run around alone when the two families met for the first time.

Simply agreed.

Meng Yan had no interest in buying groceries, but he couldn't refuse at this moment, otherwise he would appear to be unkind and unjust.

The dignified CEO had no choice but to bite the bullet.

"Row."

As usual, the Rolls-Royce took him to the intersection downstairs of the community, then changed into an ordinary Dongfeng to pick up Gan Qi and go to the vegetable market.

"Are you sure... you want to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables?" Meng Yan asked her.

Shouldn't you normally go to the fruit and vegetable section of a large supermarket?

Gan Qi thought this question was strange. Shouldn't we go to the wet market to buy groceries?

"You mean going to the supermarket? ... I just think it's a bit expensive."

Meng Yan: "There is another plan."

At this moment, he is like a company leader instructing his subordinates to do things, "I don't have to worry about eating. I can just order food at the hotel and have it delivered to my home."

Gan Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Meng, that would be more expensive. Our budget is limited."

Budget?

Meng Yan didn't expect that she also had a budget for eating.

Gan Qi knew that men had no idea about housework and meals, especially men like Meng Yan, who was an employee of a big company. He often went out for dinner parties, so he must have no idea about eating on weekdays.

She said patiently: "Mr. Meng, you could spend a lot of money when you were alone in the past. Now that we are two people, we have to consider the future."

"Fire, rice, oil, and salt are all money. If you save some money on expenses, you can save money to buy a house early."

Meng Yan: "..."

Okay, he won't refute this.

Just do as she says.

Both of them knew in their hearts that it was only the "trial marriage" stage, and no one could tell how far it would go.

Even Gan Qi knows better than Meng Yan that the relationship between them is "partnership" and "cooperation".

But even so, you still have to take life seriously.

After all, you have to live in the present moment!

Meng Yan opened the navigation on his mobile phone and headed towards the vegetable market, and asked her: "What vegetables did you buy today?"

Gan Qi took out a piece of paper that she had prepared in advance from her cross-body bag. Fortunately, she had made a list in advance.

"Not much. I already have meat at home. If I buy some other things, I'm going to make 8 dishes."

Meng Yan: "Do you have to cook all 8 dishes yourself?"

Gan Qi thought for a moment, but he didn't do it all by himself: "We can go to the restaurant and bring a steamed fish, and I can do everything else."

Why fish? Because Gan Qi doesn't know how to kill fish.

There are some shades of scaling and disembowelment.

"By the way, what kind of dishes does Mr. Meng usually specialize in?"

Meng Yan had a stern look on his face.

Why does this woman think I am good at cooking?

His tone was emotionless: "I'm good at eating."

haha~

Gan Qi suddenly laughed. She felt that Meng Yan was quite humorous sometimes, although he was mostly humorous.

"Mr. Meng is not a rigid person."

Meng Yan said nothing and looked straight ahead. He saw the door of the vegetable market in the distance, which was very lively with people coming and going.

After parking the car, Gan Qi stared at the note prepared in his hand, "I think it will be more efficient if we divide our forces into two groups."

She asked Meng Yan suggestively, "Well, I'll weigh some chili sauce at the door first. Mr. Meng, you split up and go buy lettuce and lettuce first. We'll meet up later."

Lettuce is okay, lettuce...

When Meng Yan stood in front of a puddle of green vegetables, his face was a little red.

As the eldest son of the Meng family and the heir to a trillion-dollar fortune, he didn't want others to know: he seemed... unable to tell which lettuce was which...

Although he could remember the name of the dish when he usually ate at the table, now he looked at the various dishes on the stall, including small bundles and small bundles of vegetables.

He couldn't help but asked: Which one is lettuce?

It seems that a grown man like him is a little ignorant.

"Cough cough!"

Meng Yan coughed lightly and did something both embarrassing and secretive: searching for [What does lettuce look like] on his mobile phone?

Unexpectedly, as soon as I typed the words, before the search page popped up, I heard Gan Qi's voice behind me.

Meng Yan's heart tightened, and he quickly put his phone back into his pocket, making a cool gesture of putting his hands in his pockets.

"Mr. Meng, why don't you buy it?"

Gan Qi was holding a bag in her hand. She weighed various sauces and bought some pickles along the way.

I walked over and saw Meng Yan standing in front of the stall in a daze, and I couldn't help but feel a little confused.

I wanted to ask him why he didn't act for so long, but when he lowered his head to look at the dishes on the floor, he suddenly started to admire him.

"Mr. Meng, you are so awesome!"

She whispered in his ear, "You can actually tell that the food here is not fresh."

No wonder he didn't move for a long time. Gan Qi felt a little impressed. It seemed that Meng Yan also had a side of life!

So the two of them turned to the second store. Gan Qi quickly picked several dishes, weighed them, paid for them, and bargained with the store owner for a small change.

Meng Yan looked at her chatting and laughing, and suddenly felt that Gan Qi was full of energy.

Probably when she was at her aunt's house, she took care of all these things by herself.

"Eight dishes, except for one fish, there are still 7 dishes left." Meng Yan confirmed again, reminding her that the task was heavy.

Gan Qi nodded: "It sounds like a lot, but it's actually very simple. For example, cold dishes only take a few minutes!"

Meng Yan still felt it was too troublesome, and just when he was about to speak to persuade her again, Gan Qi's eyes lit up and she ran to the meat stall.

A banner hung in front of the stall: Pig's trotters are half price today.

"Mr. Meng, I will show off my skills today and make you a spicy stuffed pig's trotters!"

This is her specialty.

However, because pig's trotters are too expensive, I don't eat much at my uncle's house on weekdays.

She was only willing to do this when there was something good to celebrate.

The fragrant and spicy pig's trotters were the most delicious thing she had ever eaten in her life.

I bought 4 pig's trotters and the boss gave me two green onions as a gift.

Gan Qi's face was filled with joy, the boss is so nice!

There was a small circle in his pocket at the vegetable market, and with more and more things in his hands, Meng Yan gradually felt boring.

They say shopping with women is a hassle, but today I realized that even buying groceries is such a trivial matter.

Although this vegetable market is not big, walking back and forth consumes a lot of energy and can be called a sport.

Fortunately, he works out on weekdays. This kind of exercise is nothing to him, but he feels more and more bored.

Compared with the long and boring company meetings on weekdays, grocery shopping is more torturous.

Meng Yan recalled that there was a time when the nanny at home failed to make a dish to his liking and said that she had traveled to many places but could not find the ingredients. At that time, he was furious and felt that she was not capable of doing things. She could not even do such small things as shopping for groceries. good.

Now think about it, the cooking process from purchasing to cooking is not easy.

Well, how about giving them a little extra salary to comfort them?

After being a young master for so many years, I realized today that nothing is simple in the world.

Gan Qi turned around and saw him dazed behind her. She shook the bag in her hand and shouted:

"Mr. Meng, let's go."

Meng Yan came to his senses, strode forward, and helped her carry a few more things.

"Almost?"

Gan Qi: "Well, just buy some more ginger."

There is even ginger...

Meng Yan suddenly felt that buying food and cooking was similar to managing a company. There were always some trivial things that took time.

Shopping for groceries is already such a hassle, so when it comes to cooking, why don’t you also have to do it yourself?

Wouldn’t that reveal that you can’t cook?

At this time, Meng Yan's phone rang.

He frowned and checked, and found that it was his useless cousin, Meng Tinghao?
