Chapter 14: She Really Did Seem Quite Pretty

“Huh?” Jiang Yan’s face showed clear confusion upon hearing this. She asked for confirmation, “Now?”

“No?” Li Yancheng’s gaze swept over her coldly, his tone carrying an air of authority.

Jiang Yan subconsciously shrunk her neck, chuckled, and explained, “No, it’s just that we’re in the company now, and it’s almost time to start work. I’m afraid there isn’t enough time.”

“Don’t forget, your primary job is to take care of me.” Li Yancheng’s fingers tapped on the table, making a crisp sound.

Since Li Yancheng said so, Jiang Yan naturally didn’t dare say anything more.

Yu Lan had arranged her marriage to Li Yancheng for one million a month.

Her primary job was indeed to take care of this young master.

“Then, PRESIDENT, is there anything you’d like to eat?” Jiang Yan asked him with a smile.

“Whatever.” Li Yancheng waved his hand, seemingly not wanting to talk to her much.

Jiang Yan nodded to show she understood and turned to leave.

After walking two steps, she turned back, her tone slightly cautious, “Um, would it be convenient to let the kitchen on the second floor know?

It’s too troublesome to go back and cook and bring it over, not to mention the food will taste bad after a while.”

“Mm.” Li Yancheng held his pen, head lowered, looking like he was working seriously, casually responding to her.

Jiang Yan didn’t know if he had heard her.

Even the employee meals at the Li Group’s cafeteria were prepared by five-star chefs.

Even if Li Yancheng didn’t want to eat cafeteria food, he could have any delicacies he wanted.

Yet, he personally called her to his office and asked her to cook.

Jiang Yan immediately understood why he did this.

He didn’t want Jiang Yan to be surrounded by so many men in the cafeteria.

Jiang Yan frowned slightly. She didn’t know if Li Yancheng did this solely because of their nominal marital relationship, or if there was a little bit of jealousy involved.

As soon as Jiang Yan arrived at the cafeteria kitchen, she saw all the kitchen staff standing in two neat rows.

Upon seeing her arrival, everyone immediately bowed, “Welcome, Miss Jiang.”

This uniform and loud welcome immediately made Jiang Yan freeze in place.

“Hehehe…” Jiang Yan politely nodded with a smile, “Thank you.”

A man who looked to be in his early forties, who seemed to be the head chef, said to her with a smile, “Miss Jiang, you can use any ingredients or personnel in the kitchen freely.

If there are any ingredients that the kitchen doesn’t have, just tell me, and I’ll immediately arrange for someone to buy them.”

“No, no.” Jiang Yan quickly waved her hand, “It’s definitely enough.”

While Jiang Yan was cooking, a group of chefs surrounded her.

At first, she was embarrassed, but later she directly assigned them to assist her.

It’s really good to have money and power.

These chefs were all hired at a high cost.

If it weren’t for Li Yancheng’s arrangement, let alone letting them assist her, Jiang Yan probably wouldn’t even have the chance to eat the food they made outside of Li Group.

Soon, Jiang Yan prepared three dishes and a soup.

She took the food to the President’s office, placed the dishes, smiled gently and sweetly, and said to Li Yancheng, “President, the food is ready.”

“Mm.” Li Yancheng didn’t look up, his gaze still on the computer.

Jiang Yan busied herself returning to work, saying, “Then I won’t disturb you.”

As soon as Jiang Yan took two steps, she heard a familiar voice from behind, “If you leave, who will clean up after I finish eating?”

Jiang Yan stopped, feeling helpless.

Turning around, Jiang Yan still smiled gently, “Then I’ll wait until you finish eating and clean up before I leave.”

Li Yancheng didn’t speak.

Jiang Yan had no choice but to go back and find a place to sit.

After half an hour, Li Yancheng must have finished his work, and he stood up, stretched, and walked to the table to eat.

Jiang Yan thoughtfully asked, “The food is a little cold, should I reheat it?”

“No need.” Li Yancheng said coldly, sitting down and picking up his chopsticks to eat.

He looked up and glanced at Jiang Yan.

At this moment, Jiang Yan was sitting quietly on the sofa, one hand resting on the edge of the sofa, the other on her knees.

Her beautiful long hair was tied in a low ponytail, and there wasn’t much makeup on her face, but it made her skin appear even whiter, and her features more delicate.

She had a faint smile on her face, with two small dimples beside her mouth, cute and sweet.

Suddenly, Li Yancheng remembered what Assistant Xiang had said, that Jiang Yan was pretty…

Looking at her now, she really did seem quite pretty…

Jiang Yan noticed that Li Yancheng had been staring at her for several seconds.

Her smile deepened, her eyebrows curved, as if responding to Li Yancheng.

Li Yancheng closed his eyes, not looking at her anymore, but lowered his head and quickly picked up two chopsticks full of food and put them in his mouth.

He didn’t know if he was hungry or trying to hide something.

For a moment, he had too much food in his mouth, and Li Yancheng choked and coughed.

Jiang Yan immediately stood up anxiously, poured a glass of water and handed it over, her face full of concern, “President, please eat slowly.”

Li Yancheng took the cup and drank a large gulp.

After recovering, Li Yancheng said casually, “I don’t like eating alone.”

“Then I’ll eat with you?” Jiang Yan asked tentatively.

Li Yancheng hummed, and Jiang Yan sat down.

However, she didn’t expect Li Yancheng to let her eat with him, and she only prepared one set of chopsticks and bowl.

Li Yancheng obviously noticed this too.

The next second, Li Yancheng stood up, called Assistant Xiang, and instructed, “Bring another set of chopsticks and bowl to the office immediately.”

Assistant Xiang was a little dumbfounded when he received the call.

When he arrived at Li Yancheng’s office with the chopsticks and bowl, looking at the food on the table, he instantly understood.

Li Yancheng clearly felt that when Assistant Xiang left, his gaze was meaningful.

After finishing the meal, Li Yancheng put down his chopsticks and said lightly, “Your cooking is indeed quite good, it suits my taste. Have lunch here in the company from now on.”

Jiang Yan was stunned at first, then nodded in agreement.

Li Yancheng clearly didn’t want her to eat lunch with those men in the cafeteria.

Jiang Yan cleaned up the dishes and sent them to the cafeteria, then returned to work.

She had joined the Li Group’s design department as an intern and had been there for two years.

In two years, she had risen from an intern to a team leader.

Before leaving her previous job, she had already designed two best-selling clothing lines.

According to the design department’s promotion system, as long as she designed another best-selling garment with first-month sales reaching ten million, she could be promoted to manager.

Before leaving Li Group, Jiang Yan had just completed a clothing design.

After returning to the company yesterday, she checked the progress of that garment, and it was now in normal production.

If nothing unexpected happened, the garment would be officially on sale in stores in a month.

Jiang Yan opened the contact information of the person in charge of the factory producing this garment again, wanting to inquire about the progress.

The other party quickly sent her pictures of the semi-finished product.

Jiang Yan was about to reply with words like “thank you” and “hard work.”

But the other party’s message came first.

【Factory Garment Manager Li: Why are you so concerned about this garment, Designer? Is the designer a friend of yours? Or is this a newcomer you brought in?】

Upon seeing this sentence, Jiang Yan’s typing hand instantly froze.
