Chapter 2845 Why Does My Wife Follow Me Every Day? 04
Yun Jian picked up his cup and took a sip of coffee.
The milk foam was dense, the coffee was fragrant, and the temperature was just right, but all his attention was focused on the aroma of sandalwood. The closer he got, the clearer it became, and the wisps of it seeped into his nose, making him almost unable to stop himself from taking deep breaths.
"It's delicious." Yun Jian put down his cup, his voice lower than usual. "Boss Jin's cooking is excellent."
"I'm glad you like it." Jin Chen smiled and turned back to the control panel.
Yun Jian watched his retreating figure, then picked up his cup and took another sip.
This time, he closed his eyes and let himself immerse himself in the scent of sandalwood.
The sounds of rain, the coffee machine, and Jin Chen occasionally walking around and greeting customers filled the shop. As Yun Jian sat there, he slowly finished his latte.
"Would you like a refill?" Jin Chen asked.
"No need." Yun Jian stood up. "The rain has lessened a bit, I should go back. There are still customers to take care of at the shop."
Jin Chen nodded and smiled at him, "Then come another day."
"Okay, thank you for the coffee today."
"You're welcome."
Yun Jian pushed open the door and left, his figure disappearing into the rain.
Jin Chen stood at the door for a few seconds before turning around and going back into the store.
It seems like I've forgotten something.
Jin Chen suddenly fell into deep thought.
Xiao Liu had just confirmed the takeout order with the cake maker when she turned around and saw the boss leaning against the counter looking very serious. She held back for a while, but couldn't help asking, "Boss, why did you buy nine portions of rice?"
Jinchen: "..."
Oh, I remember now, there's a starving ghost upstairs.
As soon as he went upstairs, he saw Tan Quan squatting at the top of the stairs, his ear pressed against the door, eavesdropping.
"Have you heard enough?" Jin Chen raised an eyebrow.
Tan Quan was startled and almost tumbled down the stairs.
He steadied himself and chuckled awkwardly, "Um...you've been gone too long! I can smell the delicious food! I'm so hungry!"
"Your nose is pretty sharp." Jin Chen picked up the takeout bag.
On the second floor, Jin Chen laid out the takeout boxes, which looked quite impressive.
Tan Quan's eyes lit up when he saw the food. Without waiting for Jin Chen to call him, he pounced on it, grabbed a box of rice, and began to wolf it down.
Jin Chen sat opposite him, slowly opened the lunch, and observed Tan Quan while eating.
The way this person eats...
It really looks like a starving ghost reincarnated.
In just a few minutes, one box of food was emptied, and then a second box was opened... a third box...
Jin Chen paused for a moment, then instructed 999 to activate the recording function and save the video.
999: [Okay, recording has started.]
【Lord Jinchen, may I ask the reason?】
"Let Zero Egg see its cross-species good brother," Jin Chen remarked.
999: […]
Sometimes, the filter you have for the system from your predecessors can shatter in an instant.
Tan Quan slowed down his pace when he ate the fifth box.
He looked up and let out a satisfied burp, only then noticing that Jin Chen had been watching him.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Tan Quan asked warily.
"It's quite interesting to watch you eat." Jin Chen put down his chopsticks. "Are you full?"
"It's alright... I can eat a little more." Tan Quan said, opening the sixth box.
Jin Chen didn't say anything more and turned to go into the kitchen.
When he came out of the kitchen again, Tan Quan had already devoured all the food and was sprawled on the sofa rubbing his stomach.
Jin Chen walked up to him, looking down at him, "Now, tell me what you do for a living."
Tan Quan's eyes snapped open, and he looked at him warily. "I'm just an ordinary person..."
"No ordinary person would call themselves an ordinary person," Jin Chen said calmly.
Tan Quan: "..."
Jin Chen's tone gradually became more authoritative, "Tan Quan, I saved you and gave you food, not so you could lie."
Tan Quan pursed his lips, his eyes darting away.
After a few seconds of confrontation, Tan Quanxian gave in.
He scratched his head and said irritably, "...I can't say, it won't do you any good to say it."
"Then tell me what you can say." Jin Chen sat down on the sofa opposite him. "For example, why did you faint in front of my shop?"
Tan Quan remained silent for a long time before whispering, "Someone is chasing me."
"Who?"
"I can't tell you," Tan Quan shook his head. "Those people are troublesome; you'd better not get involved."
Jin Chen suddenly asked, "Is it related to underground boxing rings?"
Tan Quan's pupils contracted sharply. "How did you know?"
"Just guessing." Jin Chen leaned back on the sofa, relaxed, but with sharp eyes.
Tan Quan opened his mouth, but finally lowered his head dejectedly. "Yes, I boxed there."
"Code name?"
"...jackals."
Jin Chen raised an eyebrow slightly. "So the people chasing you are from the boxing ring?"
“Part of it is,” Tan Quan said with a wry smile. “The other part is other troubles. In short, I need to hide for a while.”
Jin Chen: "You can stay here temporarily, but there are a few conditions."
Tan Quan immediately sat up straight. "Speak!"
"First, don't cause me any trouble. Second, don't go near the flower shop next door or the people inside. Third, tell me if you need anything, and don't wander off on your own."
Jin Chen turned around. "Can you do it?"
Tan Quan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."
In short, I was very unwilling.
But he always felt that this seemingly fierce boss might actually be really fierce, making even a boxer like himself afraid of him.
“That’s settled then,” Jin Chen said. “I don’t live here often, but you can’t use the master bedroom. The second bedroom is yours. The bathroom is over there. There are spare towels and toothbrushes in the closet. I’ll find you some clothes to change into tomorrow.”
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!!" Tan Quanchao shouted.
very noisy.
Jin Chen closed his eyes, turned around and went downstairs.
Tan Quan slumped on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling.
After a long while, he finally raised his hand to touch his face, then looked at his hands, muttering under his breath, "How could this happen... This is troublesome..."
The second floor of the flower shop next door.
Yun Jian stood by the window.
The rain was still falling, and the glass was covered with mottled watermarks, making it difficult to see anything but blurry light and shadow.
He held a glass of warm water in his hand, his gaze falling on the window on the second floor of the coffee shop. Jin Chen's image involuntarily appeared in his mind: his well-defined knuckles, his forearms exposed by rolling up his sleeves, his profile as he bent down to make coffee, and the waistline faintly visible under his shirt.
Yun Jian's fingertips unconsciously caressed the rim of the cup.
Two rabbits hopped onto the edge of the balcony, but they were very obedient, so Yun Jian wasn't worried that they would fall off.
Yun Jian reached out and stroked the soft fur on the rabbit's back. "That's him. I recognize him."
"This is truly fate."
The rabbit twitched its fleshy nose and suddenly bit Yun Jian's finger. Yun Jian corrected it seriously, "It's not what you think."
"However, you're right, I need to give him a gift."
