Chapter 1386: This is… a proposal.

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes.

The secretary hurriedly added, “It’s mainly because we want to see if you’ll smile or not. If that’s the case, we’ll also frequently butter up to you and hope that you can smile more! This is the most important thing! Hehehe…”

Lin Chen was speechless.

It seemed like they had too little work to do. These people were too free.

Thinking of how Lu Yunfan said that his ears had turned red today, these people might have heard it too. Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, using his authority as a warning to take revenge.

Without any hesitation, Lin Chen started assigning extra tasks.

“Compare all the financial reports from the past three years. If there are any mistakes, write out a detailed report as soon as possible. Work overtime if you must because I’ll be asking for it tomorrow at noon!”

“All? Including those of the subsidiary companies in the past three years?” The secretary gasped.

“Yes, including the reports of all the subsidiary companies! After I’m done with this matter… I’ll check the records from last year to today. I don’t want to trouble the finance department with this matter. Since you guys are so free, you guys can do it… take your time! I’m not in a rush! But I might need it one day, get it!?”

“Understood!”

The boss was messing with them!

Lin Chen looked at the dejected secretary and asked, “Do you have anything else?”

The secretary didn’t dare stay in Lin Chen’s office any longer and immediately left.

“How is it?”

The moment Lin Chen’s secretary entered the secretary’s office, he was surrounded by others.

Then, Lin Chen’s secretary passed on the task that the boss had assigned to them because he thought they were too free, causing all the secretaries to wail.

What kind of drug did they take to think they could suck up to their boss? Not only had they failed, but they had also brought extra work upon themselves.

Although they were being punished, all the secretaries couldn’t help but discuss Lin Chen’s girlfriend, Lu Yunfan. They felt that it wasn’t easy for Lin Chen to finally have a girlfriend.

…

When Lu Yunfan found out that Lin Chen had gotten someone to send the food to her art Gallery instead of her house, she knew that Lin Chen wasn’t planning on making things difficult for her by making her finish all the food by herself. She happily distributed the food to all of her employees.

The employees praised the food, saying it was delicious, and Lu Yunfan didn’t hesitate to tell them that this was her boyfriend’s treat. There was a lot of food, so they could bring some home if they wanted to.

Therefore, there were almost no leftovers of the chicken drumsticks that Lin Chen had packed for her that day.

Lu Yunfan didn’t want to waste any more money by eating outside, so after much hesitation, she called Lin Chen to ask if he was willing to have a meal at her place tonight!

The moment she said that to Lin Chen, Lu Yunfan’s face turned incredibly red…

It wasn’t that Lu Yunfan wanted to trick Lin Chen into coming to her house, but the thought of being alone with Lin Chen there made Lu Yunfan blush uncontrollably.

“This afternoon, let’s heat up the leftover chicken from this afternoon, then I’ll make you fried corn eggs! I want… to let Brother Lin Chen eat my food! I guarantee that I’ll learn more delicacies in the future. In the future… I’ll cook for Brother Lin Chen every day, okay?” Lu Yunfan’s voice was timid, sounding a little weak.

“You’re… proposing?”

Lin Chen raised his head as he asked Lu Yunfan.

Lu Yunfan’s face burned. “No, no! That’s not what I meant!”

“Then, how are you going to cook for me every day?” Lin Chen couldn’t quite understand.

“Well… even if we don’t get married, I can still make good food for Brother Lin Chen! You can always return home after having the meal!” Lu Yunfan nearly bit her own tongue after saying that, explaining nervously, “Brother Lin Chen, I don’t mean to chase you away!”

“So you want me to stay?” Lin Chen asked.

Lu Yunfan felt like her entire body was boiling…

Stay?

Why did she leave a man at home in the middle of the night? Did Brother Lin Chen think that she had some naughty thoughts towards him?

“No, no, no! That’s not what I meant!” Lu Yunfan panicked.

On the other end of the line, Lin Chen smirked and asked, “Then what do you mean?”

“I’m just… I feel that we’re always eating outside, so we can occasionally eat at home too. Moreover, Brother Lin Chen wouldn’t have to send me home after dinner because I would already be at my own home. After dinner, Brother Lin Chen can go home straight away and have an early rest!” Lu Yunfan explained, scratching her ears and cheeks.

“Oh…” Lin Chen then put on a knowing smile and said, “I thought you were proposing to me. I wanted to tell you that a man should be the one doing this.”

“Mm?” Lu Yunfan’s lips parted slightly. “Brother Lin Chen… you… what did you say?”

“Is the signal bad?” Lin Chen asked.

“No, no…” Lu Yunfan’s voice was as soft as a mosquito’s buzzing. “It’s just… Brother Lin Chen, you said a man should do the proposing. What… do you mean?”

Lu Yunfan’s ears turned red.

Her little heart pounded as she guessed that Lin Chen meant what he said… Was he planning to propose to her?

“Am I wrong?” Lin Chen asked.

“No, you’re not. You’re not… But isn’t it a little too fast for Brother Lin Chen…” When Lu Yunfan said this, she couldn’t hide the smile in her voice and laughed out loud.

Lu Yunfan quickly restrained herself, cleared her throat, and said, “Brother Lin Chen, we just started dating. Do you… like me so much that you want to marry me?”

Lu Yunfan was elated.

Lin Chen’s eyes were full of smiles as he listened to the young lady’s uncontrollable laughter. He said, “I said… a man has to be the one to propose. That man doesn’t necessarily have to be me…”

Lu Yunfan was stunned. “Huh?”

“You said you would cook for me every day in the future. I thought you were proposing, wanting to wash my hands to make soup for me…”

When Lu Yunfan heard this, she felt conflicted again.

“I’m very willing to wash my hands and make soup[1] for Brother Lin Chen! I’m very willing…” Lu Yunfan pursed his lips. “If Brother Lin Chen is willing, I’m willing to do it for the rest of my life!”

“A lifetime? So you’re really… proposing?” Lin Chen asked.

Lu Yunfan was speechless.

Why did she feel like she had been tricked by Brother Lin Chen again? When did she propose…

But what Brother Lin Chen said made sense. Why did it sound like she was proposing to him?

“Brother Lin Chen, I feel like you’ve somehow tricked me. But if you’re willing to marry me, then I… will definitely be very willing. But… my mother said that girls should be reserved, so… so…”

[1] It is referring to ancient custom. Three days after a bride enters the family, she will cook for the family to officially take on her role as a wife. It’s a test by her new family.
