Everything I bought on online shopping platforms was genuine.

Chapter 461 You can't eat alone!

Both people with imbalanced Yin and Yang were indeed in high spirits today, but Lin Mo only felt much more relaxed, especially since the fire in his body was gone, and he was no longer as restless and unbearable as before.

In contrast, Liu Ruyan not only relieved the discomfort in her lower abdomen caused by her upcoming period, but also looked radiant.

Previously, Liu Ruyan only had fair and tender skin, especially after using sulfur facial cleanser, her face was so tender that you could squeeze water out of it. But now, in addition to being tender, her skin also has a rosy glow. She not only looks fair, but also healthy. It would be strange if she didn't have a good complexion.

"Son-in-law, you've worked hard!"

"Kobayashi, I'm in trouble!"

"Great job, little brother! I saw your car downstairs. Thanks for delivering the order, sister!"

In the living room, Tang Yuanyuan, Bai Anan, and Li Na arrived and greeted him as soon as they entered the house.

However, despite the three people having three different titles, Tang Yuanyuan still adhered to the principle of taking advantage and pretended to be Liu Ruyan's godmother.

Because Bai Anan was the oldest and married, her personality wasn't as outgoing; she simply called him Xiao Lin. It has to be said, this woman was still at the peak of her married life.

As for Li Na, since she called him "brother" last time at the 4S store, she continued to do so this time. However, since the car came from her 4S store, she knew exactly where it was. Especially since she saw it downstairs today, she recognized it at a glance.

"It's alright, it's alright, please sit down first, the food will be ready in a bit," Lin Mo said with a smile as he stir-fried the dishes, his hands moving smoothly and effortlessly.

Seeing his practiced movements, the three women wanted to say something, but Liu Ruyan opened her arms and shooed them away: "Go away, don't disturb my boyfriend's cooking, hurry up and go sit down!"

The three women sat down on the sofa in the living room, where fruit and tea were already laid out on the coffee table.

“Look, this is what women who are dating look like. We can’t even go over and say hello,” Bai Anan, the oldest among them, laughed, his tone teasing.

Li Na couldn't help but chime in, "Of course! Who among you has ever seen Ru Yan value a man this much? She brought him home and even gave him a car."

However, her boyfriend is indeed very handsome and is also a chef. It seems that Ruyan has been won over by his stomach.

Indeed, the way to a woman's heart is through her stomach.

Hearing this, Tang Yuanyuan, who was standing to the side, was a little confused: "That's not right, I remember that to win a woman's heart you have to do things through... Waaah!"

Before she could finish speaking, Bai Anan and Li Na covered her mouth with their hands.

Looking at Liu Ruyan again, her pretty face was indeed flushed. She glanced guiltily at the kitchen, and only relaxed when she realized Lin Mo hadn't heard anything. She then scolded Tang Yuanyuan:
"Get lost! If you keep talking nonsense, you'll just be watching us eat!"

Seeing Liu Ruyan's face turn bright red, almost steaming from her hair, Li Na sighed and pinched Tang Yuanyuan's shoulder, saying, "You think you're so great? I had those words on the tip of my tongue but didn't dare to say them. You think you're the only one who knows?"

"It's fine to say things like that in private, but there are men around now. Don't you dare blurt out anything? Can't you see that even Sister Bai, this seasoned driver, is being unusually restrained today?"

"Hey, hey, hey, just talk, why keep bringing up the past? We're here for a big meal today, I didn't say anything, don't drag me into this," Bai Anan quickly said.

She was the only one among them who was married, so she was naturally a bit unrestrained in her speech at times, but today, with men present, she was being cautious.

"Yes, yes, I recently heard from other places that a restaurant called 'Wednesday' has opened in Jiangning. A meal there costs at least several hundred thousand. I didn't expect that Ruyan's boyfriend's restaurant would become famous so quickly. I definitely have to try it, hehe," Tang Yuanyuan quickly changed the subject.

Although their families weren't as well-off as Liu Ruyan's, they were still considered wealthy by ordinary standards, and all of them were business owners. Naturally, they had heard of this restaurant.

It's important to understand that everyone who can afford to dine at Linmo Restaurant is someone who has plenty of money. After eating there once, they naturally become its ambassadors, and those who can get these people to promote it are also wealthy.

It can be said that, although it has only been a little over a month, Lin Mo's restaurant has already become quite well-known in Jiangning's wealthy circles.

“Yes, I heard that too. By the way, isn’t today Wednesday? Is Xiaolin’s restaurant closed?” Bai Anan asked.

Clearly, she also knew that Lin Mo's restaurant was open on Wednesdays.

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan calmed down and sat down, saying, "Hey, my boyfriend was in a car accident a few days ago. He's just recovered recently, so I was thinking of letting him rest for a couple more days."

We were originally planning to have a nice meal at home today, but since the three of you have been insisting that I treat you and want to try his cooking, here we are, treating you to a meal just for us today.”

After Liu Ruyan finished speaking, the three of them realized that so many things had actually happened in the past two days.

"Huh? A car accident? Xiao Lin doesn't look like it," Bai Anan said in surprise.

Liu Ruyan explained with a smile that the car was almost totaled, but she only suffered a minor sprain, which was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

“You should have told us when this happened, so we could have gone over to check on you,” Bai Anan said.

As friends, even if her boyfriend was hospitalized, the three of them wouldn't mind going to visit him.

Liu Ruyan shook her head at this: "It's just a minor injury. I only stayed in the hospital for one night."

"Oh, I see. No wonder Ruyan gave away the car so readily. Xiaolin is truly blessed to have survived such a close call."

"It's better for someone to be alright than anything else, so they deserve a reward!" Li Na suddenly realized.

She thought that Liu Ruyan valued people more because her boyfriend had just gone through a life-or-death experience.

What she didn't know was that Liu Ruyan's decision to give her the car was only one reason; the main reason was that their relationship had been established.

Just then, Lin Mo's voice came from the kitchen: "Alright, dinner's ready! Sister Ruyan, come and serve the dishes!"

"Coming!" Liu Ruyan responded, then got up and ran over barefoot.

Here, the living room has a carpet, and the room is warm, so it's fine to go barefoot. Hearing this, Bai Anan and the other two leaned back on the sofa: "Oh~~~ Sister Ruyan~~"

Faced with her friends' teasing, Liu Ruyan blushed slightly, gave a soft snort, ignored the three of them, and ran to the kitchen.

The three exchanged a glance and then got up. It wasn't like they were going to a restaurant; they were at an old friend's house, and they weren't going to leave without doing any work.

With everyone's help, the table was soon filled with a delicious and colorful meal.

Wow~~ It looks so tempting, and it smells so good!

As everyone took their seats, Tang Yuanyuan looked at the table full of food and couldn't help but swallow hard.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo laughed and said, "Don't be shy, just start eating. It won't taste good if it gets cold."

Today I made some easy-to-make stir-fries, seven dishes and a soup. Although there were no time-consuming dishes like boiled cabbage in clear broth or Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, this table of food alone would cost over 100,000 yuan at his restaurant.

Seeing this, the three of them didn't stand on ceremony and all put down their chopsticks. After taking a bite, they were quickly captivated by the taste.

At this moment, they finally understood why a meal at Lin Mo's restaurant could cost hundreds of thousands of yuan.

"How's it going? Is it delicious?"

Liu Ruyan was already used to the expressions on the three people's faces; when she first ate it, her expression wasn't much better than theirs.

But all that responded to her was the even faster slurping of rice from the three of them. Their chopsticks were flying so fast they left afterimages. Saying one more word meant eating one less bite of food, so no one had time to sigh.

Lin Mo and Liu Ruyan exchanged a glance, and then picked up their chopsticks. Although he had eaten all the dishes on the table before, he had only tasted them in the kitchen. This was the first time he had sat down at the table to enjoy his own creations.

"Try this braised sea cucumber with scallions. Eat more of it; it's good for you," Lin Mo said, putting some food on Liu Ruyan's plate.

As Liu Ruyan ate, she also picked up a shrimp and put it in his bowl. The two interacted at the table, which made the other three roll their eyes.

They just couldn't bear to give up the delicious food in their mouths, otherwise they would have already started talking about it.

The five people ate all seven dishes and one soup, leaving nothing behind, which made cleaning up much easier for Lin Mo.

While he was tidying up, the four women leaned against the sofa, all clutching their stomachs, their faces beaming with happiness.

"This meal costs hundreds of thousands! You really do get what you pay for. I can't afford it. I'm just lucky to have eaten it today," Tang Yuanyuan said, rubbing her stomach.

Her family is relatively well-off; she runs a clothing wholesale business and earns a decent income. However, she still wouldn't be willing to spend hundreds of thousands on a single meal.

"Ruyan is so lucky. She can eat this kind of food anytime. One meal costs hundreds of thousands. Three meals a day, a year, my God, how much money would that be? Ruyan, you didn't just find a boyfriend who can cook because you're a glutton, did you?" Li Na joked, but she was genuinely envious.

The thought that outsiders would have to spend hundreds of thousands to afford a single meal, while Liu Ruyan could eat it every day, made everyone envious.

“Then you can find a boyfriend who can cook,” Bai Anan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Li Na shook her head repeatedly: "Me? I don't have Ruyan's good luck!"

Finding a partner who can cook isn't difficult, but finding someone who cooks this well is almost impossible.

Lin Mo's cooking skills are even better than those of professional chefs in star-rated hotels, but he only works one day a week. He's called a chef, but what chef only works one day a week and still earns such a high income?

"By the way, I heard that you can get nutrition through food. Ruyan, you look so radiant today. Does your boyfriend often cook delicious food for you? Tell me, what have you been eating?" Tang Yuanyuan suddenly asked.

Li Na was taken aback upon hearing this, then asked with delight, "Is that so, Ruyan? We're best friends, you can't keep this to yourself! Tell us, we want some too!"

Liu Ruyan:
Bai Anan, who was standing to the side, seemed to have noticed something and waved his hand, saying, "Go away, all you know is eating. This can't be shared. If you want to eat, you two have to figure it out yourselves, right, Ruyan!"

Sensing the hidden meaning in Bai Anan's words, Liu Ruyan blushed and nodded somewhat shyly.

Just then, Lin Mo finished tidying up and came over with a smile, saying, "What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you when I have time!"

"No," Liu Ruyan quickly said.

I can eat other things without worry, but not this. I can't share this with even my best friend.

Sure enough, seeing her reaction, Bai Anan became even more certain.

Tang Yuanyuan and Li Na, on the other hand, looked at each other in bewilderment. Seeing this, Bai Anan chirped in their ears for a while, and then the two of them blushed and stopped talking.

After the meal, Lin Mo brewed tea for the group. His intermediate-level tea ceremony skills left the three women completely bewildered. In any case, the three women thoroughly enjoyed themselves that afternoon.

They had plenty of food and drink, and Lin Mo even prepared two desserts for them, which earned him endless praise from the three women.

If they used to think Lin Mo was a gigolo, now they only feel pure envy.

Although they are quite well-off, if they could find a young male college student who can cook, earn money, and is also good-looking, they would be willing to let him live off them!
Before leaving, Lin Mo also brought back a dessert for the three of them.

Downstairs, Bai Anan pulled Liu Ruyan aside and whispered:

"Ruyan, listen to my advice. We shouldn't be reckless and exhaust our resources. We need to understand sustainable development. Otherwise, you'll suffer later. After all, it's easy to go from simplicity to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to simplicity!"

Liu Ruyan: ? ? ?
