Forcing Me to Be a Godly Tycoon, Right?

Chapter 1730: Chapter 642: With Them on the Mountain... (Long Chapter, Subscription Requested)

Zhang Lihua and Shangguan Yue were instantly shocked by him!

”Congratulations to the host for successfully surprising both target individuals at the same time, rewarded with one million yuan!”

Zhang Lihua couldn’t help but praise, ”Boss Zhang, you are simply an alien! You’re really amazing!”

Shangguan Yue also couldn’t resist complimenting, ”Boss Zhang, I totally admire you, I’ll believe anything you say from now on!”

Zhang Jingdong laughed heartily, ”You said it, haha... you better remember that!”

”Alright, you two, I’ve done it. Tonight, just wait for me to make a request of you!”

Zhang Lihua and Shangguan Yue exchanged a glance, and a blush instantly appeared on their faces.

Zhang Jingdong still hadn’t put Zhang Lihua and Shangguan Yue down, just carried them as they strolled on the country road, the scene was both strange and romantic.

Even though Zhang Lihua and Shangguan Yue felt a little embarrassed, since it had already gotten completely dark and there were no streetlights in the village, they didn’t say anything.

Only when they occasionally spotted a villager in the distance would they both bury their heads in Zhang Jingdong’s chest.

After twenty minutes, they arrived by the car, and Zhang Jingdong finally put them down.

Once in the car, Zhang Lihua asked, ”Where are we staying tonight?”

Zhang Jingdong glanced at the rearview mirror and replied, ”Shangguan Yue’s family runs a guesthouse, we’ll stay at her place tonight.”

”Staying at her place? Are you sure?”

Zhang Jingdong knew what she was worried about and said, ”Don’t worry, her guesthouse is on the second floor, and the soundproofing is very good.”

”Besides, the nearest hotel is ten kilometers away, and it’s not safe, so staying at her house is our best option tonight.”

”...Alright, Yueyue, sorry to trouble you then.”

Shangguan Yue smiled bashfully, ”Sister Hua, please don’t be polite, treat it like your own home.”

Zhang Jingdong restarted the car and expertly maneuvered his way back on the road, quickly disappearing from the original spot.

Zhang Lihua then casually asked, ”When did you come last time?”

Zhang Jingdong’s heart tightened, then he pretended to be nonchalant, ”A week ago.”

”Did you come alone then?”

”No, with a friend, you’ve met him that day.”

”Just the two of you?”

”Oh... no, there was also Song Yunshan and her cousin.”

Zhang Jingdong deliberately used the term ’cousin’ to refer to Hu Ling.

But what Zhang Lihua was really interested in was whether he did anything with Song Yunshan there, so she asked, ”Yueyue, did you hear or see anything between Boss Zhang and Song Yunshan that night upstairs?”

”...No.”

”Really no?”

”Really no.”

”Alright then.”

To minimize Zhang Lihua’s questions, Zhang Jingdong drove the car to Shangguan Yue’s doorstep in under five minutes.

”Alright, we’re here, let’s get out.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lihua stopped her questioning, opened the door, and got out.

The three of them entered the courtyard where Shangguan Yue’s younger siblings were cooking dinner together.

Zhang Jingdong walked over and said with a smile, ”Do you remember me? If you do, you get chocolates. If you don’t, then there won’t be any, so you better think it over before answering.”

Shangguan Yue’s younger brother immediately raised his hand and said, ”I remember, you’re that Boss Zhang.”

Zhang Jingdong laughed heartily, ”Correct answer! Come, come, come...”

He then casually took out a whole box of premium chocolates from his bag and handed it to him, ”I picked these out just for you; I’m sure you’ll like them!”

As he took the chocolates, Shangguan Yue’s younger brother didn’t forget to say, ”Thank you, Boss Zhang.”

”Just call me brother from now on.”

”Thank you, brother!”

Zhang Jingdong was amused by his quick response, ”Haha, like sister, like brother, really smart!”

But he wasn’t biased, so he took out a box of hairpins from his bag and handed it to Shangguan Yue’s sister, ”These are the most popular hairpins in Jiangdu right now; they’ll look great on you, here you go!”

Shangguan Yue’s sister beamed with a happy smile, taking it while saying, ”Thank you, brother!”

Zhang Jingdong nodded in satisfaction, then said, ”Alright, go do your homework, leave the cooking to me!”

They both looked over to Shangguan Yue.

Shangguan Yue, holding back her embarrassment, said, ”You two go ahead.”

”Alright, thank you, brother!”

”Thank you, brother!”

Zhang Jingdong then looked at Zhang Lihua, ”Sister Hua, even though your Lihua Restaurant has been popular for years, I’ve always wondered how good your cooking really is. Or if you can cook at all?”

Zhang Lihua rolled her eyes at him, ”Tch... if you want me to cook, just say it, no need to beat around the bush questioning my cooking skills!”

Zhang Jingdong chuckled, ”I’m not questioning your esteemed culinary skills; I just simply want to taste the flavors of your dishes.”

Shangguan Yue chimed in, ”No need, you’ve all been busy all day, you must be tired. You go rest upstairs, I’ll handle it.”

Zhang Lihua grabbed her hand, ”Since we’ve run into this, and it’s rare for Boss Zhang to have this interest, I’ll show you a few tricks today and let you see if I’m qualified to be a restaurant owner.”

With that, she headed straight to the stove.

Zhang Jingdong immediately said, ”Great, I’ll be your assistant!”

For the next half an hour, Zhang Lihua was in charge of cooking while Zhang Jingdong and Shangguan Yue assisted her.

It must be said, Zhang Lihua deserved to be the owner of Lihua Restaurant; not only were her cooking movements graceful, but the dishes she made were also fragrant and full of color and flavor.

Once everything was ready, they left part of the dishes for Shangguan Yue’s family, then the three of them carried the rest of the food upstairs.

Zhang Jingdong then took a bite of the braised pork and said in a face full of fascination, ”Sister Hua, your cooking is simply delicious, I have to have a feast tonight!”
