  Seeing that she had finally finished saying her order, Yan Nuo shut his mouth. He said to Ji Yinbing expressionlessly, “I only know how to make soy milk with a soy milk machine, cook porridge, and boil eggs with water.”


  Ji Yinbing stopped laughing awkwardly.

  All her hopes were dashed.

  Yan Nuo added, “Porridge with no other ingredients.”


  Therefore, Ji Yinbing could only choose between soy milk, boiled eggs, and porridge. She braced herself and said, “I want all.”


  “Wait.”


  Yan Nuo turned on both gas stoves. One was a pot of porridge, and the other was a pot of eggs. Yan Nuo was exaggerating when he said that he knew how to cook porridge. He did not know how to cook at all. He actually scooped a bowl of rice for their breakfast porridge, but only placed a small scoop of

  water.

  Although Ji Yinbing did not know how to cook, she still had general knowledge.

  She stared at the pot and said, “There’s too little water and too much rice.”


  “I cooked like this before.” Yan Nuo looked righteous and did not seem to be lying.

  Ji Yinbing really thought that she was mistaken.

  She went back to her room to pack Yan Nuo’s luggage. Just as she was done packing, she heard Yan Nuo calling her to eat the eggs. The eggs were indeed cooked, and the soy milk tasted quite good. Ji Yinbing sat at the dining table and asked Yan Nuo, “When you guys are on missions and have to live in the

  wild sometimes, who cooks?”


  “There’s compressed dry food. There are people in the team who can cook. Sometimes, there’s really no choice.” He handed Ji Yinbing his egg yolk, which Ji Yinbing liked to eat, and said, “Raw meat can be eaten just by roasting it.”


  “That’s really casual.”


  “Thave no choice,” he said against the drinking ice. “My girlfriend can’t cook.”


  “Then you… will you get a refund?”


  “No.”


  Ji Yinbing pursed her lips and chuckled. Yan Nuo saw her and he didn’t say anything.

  “The porridge should be ready.”


  Yan Nuo opened the lid and saw Ji Yinbing walking over. He quickly closed the lid.

  Ji Yinbing asked, “What’s wrong? Is it not done yet?”


  Yan Nuo asked her, “Are you not full yet?”


  “How can an egg and a cup of soy milk be filling?” Ji Yinbing’s appetite was bigger than ordinary girls, and she was still hungry. Yan Nuo turned around and entered the room. As he walked, he said, “Pack up. Let’s go out for breakfast.” He took a shower and changed his clothes.

  Ji Yinbing ran to the kitchen and opened the lid. She saw half a pot of soft and sticky white porridge. This was not porridge, and there was no soup at all.

  In the end, the two of them went out for breakfast.

  After breakfast, Ji Yinbing brought Yan Nuo to visit all the famous attractions in Boston. At night, they ate dinner in Chinatown.

  For the next few days, Yan Nuo and Ji Yinbing stayed together. They would kiss and be intimate, and each time, they would stop when they were close. Yan Nuo was not always free. Although he had hired a group of business managers to manage his company, there were still things that he needed to deal

  with.

  Most of the time, Yan Nuo worked in the study room, while Ji Yinbing sat on the window in the study room reading or writing papers to complete the homework the professor had given her.

  Finally, it was Christmas Eve.

  The stores at the Boston mall on Christmas Eve were open at night. Many large shopping malls were celebrating through the night. On Christmas Eve, the city was very lively. Ji Yinbing and Yan Nuo walked along the street. She said, “The streets will be cold tomorrow night. Many students say that they

  will go to the church first and then go home for dinner. Christmas is very lively, just like our Lantern Festival.”


  ‘When Yan Nuo heard her mention the Lantern Festival, he said, “In the past, my sister and I would give you red packets for the Lantern Festival. Now that you’re older, you don’t need them anymore.”


  Ji Yinbing pointed at a large mall and said, “Then you can give me a Christmas gift.”


  “What do you want?”


  “Let’s go in and take a look.”


  “Sure.”


  Ji Yinbing never wasted money, and Yan Nuo didn’t know what she liked. One time, he asked Ji Yinbing if she liked anything, and Ji Yinbing said, “I like you, and I like to read.” Yan Nuo didn’t know what to give her.

  The mall was terrifyingly big and sold almost everything.

  The expensive ones, such as the luxury watch Vacheron Constantin, the top jeweler Cartier, and the top-tier clothing brands LV and Chanel, were almost all present. Ji Yinbing rarely came here. Firstly, she was not free. Secondly, she was not interested. Thirdly, she did not have money. She looked at the

  gorgeous and exquisite jewelry and clothes and was also tempted, but she could tell what she needed and what she did not need to buy.

  ‘When Yan Nuo asked her what she wanted, she said, “I don’t think there’s anything missing.”


  Yan Nuo felt that she lacked everything.

  “You don’t look like a girl anymore. You have to have jewelry, clothes, bags, shoes, skincare products, and cosmetics.” Yan Nuo said, “My sister has a lot of jewelry and luxury goods. You have to have them too.”


  “why?”


  He said matter-of-factly, “You’re both the women I care about the most. You have to have what she has.”


  Ji Yinbing was a little moved.

  Then, Yan Nuo brought her to sweep through all the branded shops.

  Ji Yinbing watched him swipe his card without blinking and felt heartache for him. Yan Nuo saw her pained expression and suddenly said, “You and An will definitely get along.”


  “Hm?”


  “You both can’t bear to spend money.”


  No girl did not love beautiful things. Even though Ji Yinbing thought that she did not need those luxurious things, Yan Nuo bought them for her. She was still happy and willing to wear them. The next day was Christmas, and the two people who could not cook went to buy turkey and Boston lobsters.

  They did not know how to make turkeys or lobsters. Yan Nuo directly placed the turkey in a high-pressure pot and cooked it. Ji Yinbing washed the lobsters clean and steamed them in the pot. They imitated what restaurants did and made some sauce. They prepared to eat it with sauce when it was cooked.

  After dark, the two of them raised their glasses to each other and wished each other a happy Christmas.

  Ji Yinbing drank some red wine and felt a little dizzy.

  She leaned against Yan Nuo’s chest, looking tired but unable to sleep.

  The phone on the coffee table suddenly rang.

  Ji Yinbing lazily didn’t answer the call. Yan Nuo helped her answer her phone. Seeing that Ji Yinbing didn’t object, he picked up the call. Just as the phone approached his ear, Yan Nuo heard a sunny and warm male voice—


  “Merry Christmas, Sweetheart.”


  Yan Nuo’s gaze turned cold.

  “Sweetheart?” His metallic voice was extremely cold. At the same time, Yan Nuo lowered his head and stared at the girl who was pretending to sleep in his arms.

  Craven was more shocked than Yan Nuo. “Who are you?” He spoke English.

  Yan Nuo didn’t explain his identity. He thought about it and guessed the other party’s identity. “Craven?”


  Seeing that Yan Nuo had accurately reported his name, Craven was shocked.

  That day, he immediately understood Yan Nuo’s identity. “You’re her boyfriend?”


  Yan Nuo snorted in agreement.

  Craven was speechless.

  He didn’t expect her to really have a boyfriend. They were even spending Christmas together on a night like this……
