116: He is Attempting For You

The three big men went shopping for the first time. Wang Cheng was also on leave for the first time. The rate of returning glances was almost 100%, especially since the three were extremely good-looking. Three aunts and six wives who knew Wang Cheng deliberately came to say hello. From time to time, a pair of eyes glanced at Chu Yifeng and Zheng Jingen.

For example, Third Aunt Guan, the neighbor next door to his family. Wang Cheng did not expect to meet her at the market. He remembered that Third Aunt Guan had a daughter who was in school, in her senior year.

[T/N: Third Aunt Guan = Aunt Guan San from Ch 99]

"Wang Cheng, are these two your friends? Do they have girlfriends? Are they married? If not ..." Third Aunt Guan couldn't wait to introduce her daughter to him. Marrying a daughter should not be this way, as if her daughter was cheap.

"I don't know about this, Auntie, I still have something to do. We’ll go first." Wang Cheng interrupted her in a hurry, then pulled the two away. He didn’t let her go on, and so she couldn’t ask about their birthdates.

The three walked a long way, and Zheng Jingen smiled and said: "The people in the Guan’s Village are really enthusiastic."

"If Mr. Zheng lived here for two days, he would feel that it is overwhelmingly enthusiastic at the time. In fact, there would be much gossip." Wang Cheng said without looking back.

"Really? Then when I have time, I'll take a break again. I just don't know if you're happy to welcome me." Zheng Jingen said profoundly.

After hearing this, Wang Cheng felt puzzled. It didn't seem to have to do with him if he came to the Guan’s Village or not. It was impossible for him to live in his house, but his face didn't show what he was thinking. Wang Cheng didn't want to be caught by Papa Wang and for him to twist his ears. "Of course you’re welcome."

Chu Yifeng, however, understood the deep meaning in his words. His eyes fell on Zheng Jingen, and he just happened to look over. When their gazes intersected, it seemed as if sparks collided.

Wang Cheng didn't know of this, and bought the food and ingredients to be cooked at noon. The three returned.

The fragrant pig left at home flung itself to his feet when he walked in, staring at the ingredients in Wang Cheng's hands with glowing eyes; its saliva seemed to be dripping.

Wang Cheng held up the bag in his hand and grinned at it badly: "Today we will have pork for lunch. One day, the pork market will have no more pork. We can use you as spare grain storage. Don’t worry, it will be your turn sooner or later. "

The fragrant pig was scared and ran into the kitchen.

"Chengcheng, don't always bully it." Papa Wang heard them coming back and came out. He just happened to hear his words, and he shook his head helplessly.

Wang Cheng shrugged and carried the ingredients to the kitchen.

The fragrant pig didn’t dare to run into the kitchen afterward. Wang Cheng's words evoked its memory. Before, in Fengxia Mountain, it was threatened several times to be made into a roast pig, especially when the old monk was there. The master did not stop his apprentice, but instead supported him, and the evil behavior of the apprentice and the master made the pig angry.

Chu Yifeng originally wanted to go into the kitchen to help him, he occasionally helped in the apartment. However, Papa Wang said no, there was no reason to let the guest do it. He then pulled the two people into the living room to chat. Zheng Jingen was not left behind.

It was not the first time that Wang Cheng had seen his father have such inhumane behavior to the same sex. He resigned to make a hearty lunch. It was almost twelve o'clock when they finished shopping, so Wang Cheng only made some less-time-consuming dishes. For example, braised pork trotters. With a pressure cooker, it only took 30 minutes.

He hurried up and, finally, lunch was settled.

Wang Cheng saw that there was no one to help to carry the dishes. He knew that Papa Wang definitely wouldn’t let Chu Yifeng come, and he didn’t want to neglect the guests, so his butt would be stuck to the sofa. Just as he prepared to take out the cooked dishes himself, someone appeared at the kitchen door.

"Mr. Zheng? Why are you here?"

Wang Cheng thought it was Chu Yifeng, and the result was Zheng Jingen, in a suit and leather shoes.

"I'll help you." Zheng Jingen said.

"No need, you are a guest, how can I let you help? I can do it alone, Mr. Zheng, you wait outside, I'm already done." If it was Chu Yifeng, Wang Cheng would let him help. However, Zheng Jingen's words would not work.

"It's okay, don't be so polite." Zheng Jingen said, and regardless of his wishes, took out the freshly cooked dish and sauce.

After a while, Papa Wang’s voice rang out, saying how could he make the guests serve dishes. Zheng Jingen didn’t come in again. Instead, Chu Yifeng appeared while Zheng Jingen was entangled by Papa Wang. Chu Yifeng also used the excuse that he had to use the bathroom to come over.

When Papa Wang found out that another guest was missing, the meals were already served, and it was not good to say anything in front of the two guests.

Zheng Jingen tasted Wang Cheng's craftsmanship for the first time, and he was very surprised. However, after the initial shock passed, he felt an inexplicable feeling.

"What's wrong?" Wang Cheng found that he looked at his own eyes a little strangely, as if there was a trace of heartache or pity?

Zheng Jingen immediately set aside those kinds of thoughts and praised: "It's nothing, it's just a surprise that your craftsmanship is so good. It's not much worse than a senior chef’s in a big hotel."

"Haha, is that right? I feel the same way." The word humility really did not match Wang Cheng.

Zheng Jingen laughed when he heard it.

Papa Wang felt very ashamed.

After eating, as usual, only Wang Cheng cleaned up the dining table. However, Chu Yifeng came over after a while. Wang Cheng didn't want to be told off by Papa Wang anymore, so he didn't let him do it. Besides, this was his house. On the surface, they were just ordinary friends. Before getting ready to do the dishes together, Chu Yifeng stood at the kitchen door watching him wash the dishes and chatting with him.

"How did you get rid of my dad?"

"I said I wanted to talk to you about something, and Uncle Wang asked me to go."

The two had been in a boss-employee relationship, and their friendship was at least deeper than Zheng Jingen, a simple customer, so Papa Wang had no doubts. Zheng Jingen was different. The topics he and Wang Cheng could talk about were nothing more than jam. Papa Wang knew of this and just let him and Chu YIfeng talk.

"Boss Chu, help me catch that pig." Wang Cheng said to Chu Yifeng.

Chu Yifeng said nothing, but turned to look for the little fragrant pig.

When Papa Wang saw him, he asked what he was looking for. Chu Yifeng told him that he was looking for the fragrant pig. Wang Cheng told Papa Wang that the fragrant pig was actually his boss’, so Papa Wang didn't think it was wrong. He found the fragrant pig in the corner of the room on the second floor, and personally delivered it to Chu Yifeng.

The fragrant pig was a bit unwilling to enter the kitchen because he was afraid of being stabbed by Wang Cheng. After struggling for a while, the pig's nose suddenly smelled an aroma, and immediately and automatically searched for the source. Its sight fell on the bowl that Wang Cheng held in his hand, he was giving it a little meal.

"Stupid pig, eating pig trotters." Wang Cheng put the bowl on the ground and said so intentionally.

The fragrant pig hesitated for a while, and finally the mentality of eating defeated its reason. The pig smelled it, and when it found that it was not pig's trotters, it immediately arched its head in.

"Its nose is spiritual."

Zheng Jingen didn't stay too long. Unlike Chu Yifeng, he couldn’t stay for a while depending on his relationship with Wang Cheng. Soon, it was time to leave, but he didn't forget to pull Chu Yifeng aside before leaving.

"Mr. Chu, would you like to go with me? It’s nice to have a companion along the way."

"No, I still have something to say with Wang Cheng." Chu Yifeng refused directly.

Zheng Jingen laughed: "The relationship between Mr. Chu and Wang Cheng is very good, there are so many things to say." He alluded to the fact that he had something to say to Wang Cheng when he was washing the dishes.

"It's pretty good."

Wang Cheng came over with a bag and interrupted the dark atmosphere between the two. "Mr. Zheng, this is the fruit that my family has picked from the mountain. It tastes very sweet. Take it back and try it."

"I’d hate to impose.."

"Don't be polite with us. There are too many fruits at home, we can't finish them, anyway."

"Thank you so much."

After Zheng Jingen left, Wang Cheng pulled Chu Yifeng outside while Papa Wang was away. Although he didn't understand the relationship between the two, he could see the tit-for-tat tension between them no matter how polite they were.

"What’s the matter with you? It’s as if you have been mixed with gunpowder. Do you have anything to do with Mr. Zheng? I think you are acting like enemies. Should there really be any grievances that are inconvenient to say?"

"You’re thinking too much, there is no such thing. There is another reason for this, did you really not find out?"

Wang Cheng wondered, "What should I find?"

"Do you think that he behaves completely like an ordinary client? Is there any other client that frequently and diligently runs here? If he is just an ordinary businessman, it is okay, but he is not, and his behavior also showed signs of deliberately courting your father. What this means, don't you see it?" Chu Yifeng said this calmly, but in Wang Cheng’s eyes, it was the kind of calm before the storm.

"Then you are also courting my dad ..." Wang Cheng stared at Chu Yifeng before he finished speaking, "No?"

"I can't think of any reason other than this."

"But ..." Wang Cheng couldn't believe it. "I didn't know him at all before. If he hadn't found the jam shop by himself, I wouldn't know him at all."

"It may be that he has seen you somewhere. There are always things in this world that you can't imagine, and there are so many quirks of rich people, how can you understand it. Of course, except me." Chu Yifeng was smearing Zheng Jingen's name. At the same time, he didn’t forget to leave himself out.

If it was before, Wang Cheng would definitely rebuke him, but now he was completely occupied by that incredible idea, he couldn’t imagine it. Zheng Jingen met him before and chased him after falling in love with him at first sight? It was nonsense, but besides this reason, Zheng Jingen's behavior could not be explained. Since being with Chu Yifeng, his thinking mode had become strange.

"Why are you telling me this?" Wang Cheng glared at Chu Yifeng, not knowing that he would make up more in his brain. It was also annoying to see other people love him.

"Because I don’t want you to get confused."
