Chapter 176 Candlelight Dinner
Here at the hospital
The Jia family mother and son were also discussing the full moon banquet for their eldest grandson. Three tables would be coming from the Jia family’s side…
This time it was Ma Lan who paid for the banquet, and Jia Zhangshi was waiting for some benefits so she didn't care how extravagant it was.
"Dongxu, how were the full-moon banquets in the courtyard arranged in the past?"
"It's not easy. No matter how we do it, we will lose money. The neighbors in the yard each give 50 cents or 1 yuan... But this time our Jia family has a big fat boy, so we are happy. It doesn't matter if we lose a little."
Jia Zhang, who was holding her grandson in her arms, was about to come up with a bad idea when she was stopped by Ma Lan...
"Don't talk, don't get involved in my son's affairs."
When Jia Zhang heard this, she immediately became unhappy and asked, "What do you mean I have no right to interfere in your son's affairs?"
"Ma Lan, I don't like what you said. Your son is not bad, but he is also my grandson, right? This child's last name is Jia, right? Why can't I take care of the affairs of the Jia family's children and grandchildren?"
Ma Lan knew that once the baby was born, this greedy woman would start looking for trouble with her. She wanted to take advantage of her because she saw that her mother was in confinement after childbirth...
"Are you looking for trouble?" Ma Lan looked at Jia Zhang with disdain.
As soon as Jia Dongxu saw that something was wrong, he put down his bowl and stood between the two of them.
"Mom, please stop talking. If Lan gets angry and runs out of milk, it will be your grandson who will starve."
If Jia Dongxu hadn't stepped out to persuade her, Ma Lan would have slapped Jia Zhang if she dared to say another word.
"Humph, even if your last name is Jia, I gave birth to you. I let you choose the name, but you can't decide on the full-month banquet. Don't you have any face for so many people coming to my family? If you dare to come up with any bad ideas again..."
Jia Zhang thought, for the sake of her eldest grandson not going hungry, let’s just wait and see... She spoke as if everyone didn’t have family members from their mother’s side.

Courtyard house
Backyard Bai Ling's House
After Lin Chen went out for a while, the whole alley suffered a power outage... Mainly because he wanted to have a candlelight dinner. Anyway, power outages are very normal nowadays.
Shazhu, Xu Damao and a few other guys ran to check where the problem was with the wires... dinner was about to start and a power outage was unacceptable.
……
"Why is there a power outage when everything is fine?"
Lin Chen shook his head: "It's okay, we have candles...it won't delay our meal."
Bai Ling had studied in Moscow, so she knew about candlelight dinners. Looking at Lin Chen's smile, she wondered if he had done this on purpose! But it seemed pretty good...
Under the candlelight, Lin Chen opened a bottle of red wine and placed two high-heeled glasses. Bai Ling was too lazy to ask why Lin Chen could come up with these. Anyway, he always had a reason...
After two glasses of wine were poured...
"Let's drink less... Cheers!"
The two looked at each other. This time, Lin Chen was very formal and did not deliberately make fun of her. Bai Ling suddenly felt a little uncomfortable...
"Cheers"
The two put down their glasses... "How about trying my cooking?"
Lin Chen took a bite of the chicken and nodded with satisfaction.
"Not bad, there is progress..."
Bai Ling was afraid that something might go wrong, so she tasted every dish before it came out of the pot.
"Right! These are all... these are all taught to me by Huairu..."
Lin Chen picked up another piece of beef and tasted it: "Well, you should learn from her in the future. To capture a man's heart, you must capture his stomach..."
Bai Ling smiled after hearing this... "You are the only one who knows how to enjoy life. Others eat steamed bread to fill their stomachs, but you actually eat meat and care whether it tastes good or not..."
“I’m different from others…”
Lin Chen thought that if someone else had this interception system... they would probably be better at it than me.
The two of them were enjoying a candlelight dinner, while several people in the yard were still trying to figure out where the problem was with the wiring...
Most of the bottle of wine was drunk... Bai Ling was already a little tipsy.
The two of them weren't as awkward chatting as they were at the beginning...
"Lin Chen, are you going back later? Don't drink this little bit of wine!"
Lin Chen glanced at the other person and said: "Since it's open, let's finish the drink! It's okay if I don't go back."
……
Around eight o'clock in the evening
When the two candles were almost burned out, Sha Zhu howled in the yard - the phone rang!
Bai Ling smiled after hearing this: "They finally fixed it... I'll go turn on the light."
Lin Chen deliberately stared at her and smiled, anyway, it was because of the alcohol...
After Bai Ling noticed this, the two of them looked at each other and she stopped laughing.
"What are you watching when you're drunk?"
“You look so pretty when you smile!”
Bai Ling hesitated for a moment and then asked boldly: "Don't you look better when you don't smile?"
"It looks good too!"
Under the influence of alcohol, Bai Ling was a little lost in what she heard. After all, it was the person she liked who was praising her. No one could resist... She was about to turn on the light, but suddenly she didn't want to.
"If it's beautiful, I'll let you look at it a few more times today. But when Huairu comes back tomorrow, you can't look at it anymore."
Lin Chen saw that her intimacy value towards him had risen to fifty...
Tentatively, she slowly pulled the other person's hand. As soon as the two touched, Bai Ling instinctively wanted to pull it back. But Lin Chen caught her...
"You... I'm not asking you to act like a hooligan even though I'm letting you watch. I'm the director of the security department."
Lin Chen was not frightened by her, but slowly approached her. Bai Ling instinctively retreated again, until she reached the wall and had no way to retreat...
"Aren't you afraid that I will catch you? If I shout now, you'll be finished. There are many people in the yard who want to pull you down..."
Lin Chen shook his head: "Don't be afraid! Even if I die under the peony flowers, I will still be a romantic ghost..."
The two of them just looked at each other without saying anything, and Bai Ling began to struggle inside again.
The only thing she has a grudge against is Qin Huairu... As she said, if Lin Chen abandons Qin Huairu and goes with her, he will definitely be criticized. And Qin Huairu is so good to her...
While she was still struggling internally, Lin Chen had already approached her, and the two of them were already very close...
"Lin Chen, someone is talking outside. What if... what if someone sees us like this..."
"Who dares to break into the director's house? Don't you want to die?"
At this time, their foreheads were already touching...
"Can you promise not to tell Huai Ru now? I haven't thought about it yet... I'm very conflicted."
"Well, I'll tell her when you've thought it through."
Under the stimulation of alcohol, Bai Ling slowly closed her eyes filled with spring water...
The four lips separated as soon as they touched... Bai Ling slowly took the initiative to hug the other's waist.
After feeling the other party's movements, Lin Chen tasted it again...this time it lasted for several minutes.
After a while, Bai Ling changed from passive defense to active attack... She boldly asked for it like Lin Chen just did. At the age of 24, she was already mature... Once Pandora's box was opened, she would enjoy it without any care.
……
The two candles had long since burned out... In the darkness, the two spent more than an hour in love, leaning against each other...
"Wait...wait for Huairu and I to get along. I don't want her to get hurt because of me. Can you give me some more time?"
Lin Chen watched her intimacy value soar to 80, so he didn't plan to push her down right now. But the meat was already in his bowl and there was no way it could be lost...
"No problem, Huairu is a very nice person. You will know as you get to know her..."
