There is no way the Liberian girl could lay eggs!

The local forces in Longmen and the refugees from outside restrained each other. Although they maintained a superficial balance, there was always fighting in secret.

But these fights all took place in the slums and had nothing to do with the people in Longmen's inner city, so most of the news in Longmen were just trivial matters.

Just like now, the TV is reporting that Longmen is about to hold a large-scale medical seminar.

Listening to the news on TV, Talina secretly counted the days in her mind.

It has only been a few days since she came to Longmen, but this meeting has already started to warm up in advance, which is enough to show how much importance the people in power in Longmen attach to it.

Sure enough, not long after, Talina heard the news that a reporter on TV was interviewing Wei Yanwu, the ruler of Longmen.

Stopping what she was doing, Talina stuck her head out of the kitchen and looked at the ancestor in a black coat on the TV screen.

That is Chen’s immediate superior, Wei Yanwu.

This was the first time that Talina saw Wei Yanwu alive since coming to Longmen, which made her a little interested.

Watching the man on TV moving effortlessly among the reporters, Talina secretly memorized his face.

Chen’s immediate boss, remember this!

After taking note, Talina returned to the kitchen and continued to do her own thing.

Not long after, it gradually darkened, and Talina calculated the time and started cooking.

Although Chen's kitchen had not been used for a long time, fortunately it had everything it needed, so Talina didn't have to start working in the dark.

Perhaps because of his confidence in himself, Chen bought all the kitchen utensils. Talina even found an unopened oven in the corner.

Bang!

Just as Talina finished cooking, she heard the sound of a door closing in the living room.

"Chen?"

Talina poked her head out and looked at the blue figure taking off his coat at the door. She whispered hello: "Welcome home."

At the door, Chen heard the greeting, and his hand that was placing the clothes paused for a moment, then turned around and said with a smile: "Yeah."

After getting Chen's response, Talina smiled and retreated back into the kitchen, leaving Chen alone in the living room.

Looking at Talina who was showing kindness to him like a frightened cub, Chen sat down on the sofa with his tired body.

The TV in the living room was on, the news was over, and strange cartoons were playing on it.

"Filin baby?"

Looking at the childish but funny cartoon, Chen finally put down the remote control.

She couldn't remember how long it had been since she turned on the TV. The only piece of furniture she spent the most time with in this house was her bed.

She gets up every day and goes to work. Because she is in a hurry, she doesn’t even have time to make breakfast, so the kitchen is left abandoned.

But now with two more tenants, the house has become more lively.

Putting aside that strange and eccentric woman, at least Talina has truly changed the trajectory of her life today.

I can prepare breakfast before I get up, and I will even go to the Guard Bureau to deliver my meal at noon so that I don’t have to go to the cafeteria to eat the big pot meal made by the aunt.

Now...

Smelling the aroma of food wafting from the kitchen, Chen leaned back on the sofa and relaxed completely.

...it's pretty good.

Suddenly, Chen felt as if he had made a profit.

Others paid to rent her house and also hired a maid to take care of her three meals a day and keep the house spotless.

If calculated based on the salary of a housekeeper outside, do I still have to pay her money?

While Chen was resting, Talina's meal was ready. Chen also stood up to help, and the two of them moved all the food to the dining table together.

"Where's that friend of yours? Aren't you waiting for her?"

Watching Talina dividing the dishes, Chen suddenly realized that there seemed to be one person missing.

"Muir Seth? I left some for her. She has something to do today and won't be back until late, so we won't wait for her."

After showing Chen the pictures of Muirseth complaining and crying on her phone, Talina sat down in her seat with peace of mind.

It wasn't that she didn't wait, it was just that the other guy was too difficult to deal with. As one of the directors of Rhine, Muirseth could only work with Ferdinand to trick... ahem! Explode the other boss's gold coins.

"Is she busy?"

Picking up the bowl and chopsticks, Chen ate the meal slowly. In order to avoid the situation being too awkward, she deliberately used Muirseth, who had not returned yet, as a topic to chat with Talina.

"Should be busy?"

Pausing what she was doing, Talina looked up at the ceiling and said thoughtfully, "She's the director of the Ecology Department at Rhine Life, so she's more or less a member of management."

Although I've never seen her manage anyone.

Thinking of Muirseth's nonchalant appearance, Talina seemed to lack confidence.

"Rhine Life? That should be quite busy indeed."

Chen echoed Talina's words, and for a moment, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward again.

The two had just met and Chen couldn't find a topic to talk about for a while, so he could only keep eating to cover up his embarrassment.

His eyes darted around, and suddenly, Chen saw a black bag he had placed on the shelf.

Inside was a lunch box, the same one that Talina had used to bring her lunch today.

"correct..."

Chen stopped Talina, who was busy eating, and pointed to the lunch box on the shelf by the door: "Um... I've already washed it. Today... thank you."

Chen suddenly felt a little annoyed at this moment. There were obviously so many other words that could replace it, but he chose such a strange word.

If we change it to something else, can it ease the awkward atmosphere a little?

But Talina seemed not to notice Chen's stiffness, and asked with a smile: "Is it delicious?"

“It’s delicious... Yes, it’s delicious, but next time, please don’t give it as a gift...”

Before he could even finish the words "I'm afraid you'll be in trouble", Chen wanted to take back what he had just said.

I had clearly warned myself to be careful with my words, but I still said such hurtful words for no reason.

Obviously, that wasn't his original intention, but when faced with such good intentions, Chen's clumsy movements were like a toddler.

This kindness was extremely unfamiliar to her. There was suddenly another person in her life, and this person was trying to "interfere" with her unchanging life.

Sure enough, after hearing Chen's words, Talina was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head silently: "I know... I'm sorry."

"That's not what I meant. I'm just worried about causing you trouble. I..."

Seeing that something was not right, Chen hurried to make amends, but no matter how she explained, it seemed extremely pale in comparison to what she had just said.

Seeing Talina nodding continuously, Chen suddenly seemed to give up on himself and slumped down in his chair: "I'll leave it to you to deliver the meal tomorrow..."

Chen used all his strength to squeeze out a sentence that would not easily cause misunderstanding. As if feeling guilty, he quickly finished the rice in his bowl. He only had time to say "I'm full" before escaping back to his room.

Looking at Chen Na's stumbling steps, Talina smiled and whispered something to Chen Na's half-open door.

"it is good."

Volume 5: Chapter 30: Xingxiong: Are they really together?

After that dinner incident, Chen's attitude also changed a little.

The tone of response to other people's kindness is no longer official, and the words are a little softer. Everything is moving in a good direction.

Chen picked up some things that he had discarded in the past, which were called weaknesses, but in fact they were the lack of emotions in his heart.

However, just this slight change in smile created a wave in the Guards Bureau.

That ruthless boss who always has a stern face at work would actually speak nicely to them?

All of a sudden, speculations about Chen began to come in waves.

Those weird messages were spread everywhere. Although they were all kinds of weird, there was always only one point around which was that Chen had changed.

"Thank you for your hard work. You came in this hot weather to bring food to Lao Chen."

At the side door of the Imperial Guards, Xingxiong took the lunch box from Talina and jokingly said, "Old Chen, this favor was worth it, wasn't it?"

"Please Sir Xing, take one more step."

Talina smiled and ignored Xingxiong's teasing.

After waving goodbye to Xingxiong, Talina turned around and left quickly.

"Really? Why don't I have this kind of luck?"

Stroking his chin, Xingxiong carried his lunch box and complained about his good friend.

Looking at Talina's back, Xingxiong suddenly thought of the rumors circulating in the Guard Bureau recently: "No way? Are they really together?"

Thinking of this terrible guess, Xingxiong hurried back to the Guard Bureau and walked towards Chen's office.

It was noon now, and most of the people in the bureau had gone to eat. In addition, Xingxiong deliberately avoided those who brought their own food, so no one saw what she was carrying along the way.

Pushing open Chen's office door, Xingxiong tiptoed in like a thief.

"Why are you like that? Is there something bugging my office?"

Looking at Xingxiong who looked like a thief, Chen put down the work in his hands and cleared his table.

"I'm afraid of being seen by others, right?"

Handing the thing in his hand to Chen, Xingxiong sat opposite Chen and looked at her calmly.

Chen, who had just taken out his chopsticks and was about to enjoy his lunch, felt his scalp tingle when he was stared at by such a direct gaze.

Pushing the lunch box out, Chen asked cautiously, "Want some?"

"Ate."

Rejecting Chen's kindness, Xingxiong still stared at her.

"If you have something to say, just say it. I can't eat if you look at me like that."

Putting the chopsticks across the lunch box, Chen Ye retaliated and looked at Xingxiong.

"Since you've said that, I'll just be frank, Lao Chen."

Clearing his throat, Xingxiong rushed to Chen's side and whispered, "Are you really in love with her? Otherwise, why would she bring you food every day? There should be a limit to showing kindness, right?"

Looking at Chen's lunch box which faintly exuded the aroma of food, Xingxiong looked at his "three good" colleague with suspicion.

Today, Chen was too busy to get lunch, so she asked her to go. But she had seen it in the past few days. Every time Chen went out at noon, there would be something in her hand, and the shape was exactly the same as her lunch box!

"Didn't I tell you? She's just renting my house, and bringing lunch to cover part of the rent. Besides, I'm the one paying for the groceries, so isn't it normal for her to bring lunch at noon?"

Looking at his colleague as if she were an idiot, Chen didn't understand why she kept thinking in this way.

I have clearly explained everything to her before, but she is still like this. Why didn’t I realize that Xingxiong likes gossip so much before?

"Have you heard the latest rumors in the bureau?"

Seeing that Chen was still the same as before, Xingxiong did not get angry, but sat down instead.

"You said it was a rumor, so why should I find out?"

Chen took the time to answer while eating his own lunch.

"It's about you."

Pointing at Chen, Xingxiong said seriously.

"There are a lot of rumors about me. Which one are you referring to? Backdoor? Illegitimate child? Or a spy planted by some gang?"

Responding nonchalantly, Chen continued to eat his lunch.

She got promoted so quickly that rumors were already flying around the bureau, and now it's just a repeat of itself.

Anyway, she is upright and as long as she doesn't get into trouble, these rumors will disappear on their own. Instead of worrying about these things, she might as well eat well.

By the way...there's actually some feathered beast meat that I want to eat today?

Chen Na poked the feathered beast meat in the lunch box with his chopsticks, and his body and mind, which had been numbed by work, suddenly felt a little relieved.

She just complained to Talina yesterday that the feather beast meat prepared by the cafeteria aunt was not tasty, but today Talina made her a delicious one.

Seeing that Chen didn't realize the importance of this rumor at all, Xingxiong simply didn't keep him in suspense and said it directly.
