Forcing Me to Be a Godly Tycoon, Right?

Zhang Jingdong looked at Jiang Lai for a full thirty seconds before finally coming to his senses.

Wen Chun said, ”Morning.”

Jiang Lai gave a sweet smile, ”Mm... Morning.”

Zhang Jingdong’s heart warmed, and he couldn’t resist stepping forward to kiss her.

However, Jiang Lai seemed to sense this, hurriedly said, ”Shall I go get the dish I made for you to try?”

Then mouthed to him, ”Grandma is right inside!”

Zhang Jingdong had to stop, and the arms that were about to embrace her fell open naturally, ”Alright.”

Jiang Lai gave him a shy and happy sidelong glance, then turned and went inside.

She came out shortly with a ceramic plate.

On the plate were three stuffed buns.

Zhang Jingdong glanced at the buns, somewhat hesitated, ”These... Aren’t they just buns? Why call them stuffed buns? I thought they were the big stuffed buns Northeastern people often eat.”

Jiang Lai pursed her lips, ”Our stuffed buns do look somewhat similar to the ones you mentioned, but there are still some differences. You’ll know when you taste them.”

Zhang Jingdong immediately became curious, ”Alright, I gotta see what’s different.”

He briskly went to the nearby small well to wash his hands, then came back, reached out, and took a stuffed bun to try.

He chewed carefully, then looked at the filling inside the bun, instantly amused, ”This... This stuffed bun has a filling of chopped scallions and tofu!”

Jiang Lai nodded with a smile, ”That’s right, how is it? Tasty?”

Zhang Jingdong nodded appreciatively, ”Mm... The taste is indeed quite good!”

”It seems you’ve eliminated the step of eating separately, people originally ate steamed buns with chopped scallions and tofu, but you directly stuffed the chopped scallions and tofu into the bun. Tsk tsk, it turns out the name ’stuffed bun’ is quite reasonable.”

Saying that, he finished the entire stuffed bun in two bites.

Jiang Lai then pointed to the left bun on the plate, ”Try this one, it has a different filling.”

Zhang Jingdong promptly picked up the bun she pointed to, took a bite, and said, ”This one is... Shredded radish with Rose and chili... Haha, no wonder it’s even tastier!”

Seeing that Zhang Jingdong really liked them, Jiang Lai was instantly delighted, ”If you like them, I’ll make more for you tomorrow!”

Zhang Jingdong was equally happy, as the stuffed buns she made were indeed delicious.

He then said, ”Absolutely, and I think these stuffed buns could be the focus of your first video shoot.”

Jiang Lai paused slightly, then nodded, ”Mm, I’ll listen to you!”

Zhang Jingdong knew she still didn’t quite understand what she should shoot in the future, so he quickly finished the stuffed bun and said, ”Let’s go, today I’ll fully explain to you what exactly you should be filming in the future.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lai’s face instantly lit up, ”Okay!”

The two tidied up a bit and left the house together.

Todays weather was sunny, the breeze was mild, and the beautiful scenery around them was even more stunning than yesterday afternoon.

The two walked hand in hand along the country road, occasionally looking at the distant scenery, occasionally glancing at each other, feeling utterly content.

However, they seemed to have forgotten one thing, which is that they’re in the countryside now, and it’s well-known that where there’s countryside, there are villagers, and where there are villagers, there are endless gossip.

Check out the village’s senior intelligence bureau?

It’s no exaggeration, the amount of gossip a village of a few hundred people generates in a year is just as vast as the annual output of the entire entertainment industry.

And in the countryside, the most intriguing gossip is about relationships, whose son or daughter is dating, about to get married, the bride price, whether there are five metals...

No matter how well the kids do, if they’re from the village, they can’t escape it.

Especially Jiang Lai, who is the new generation’s village belle of Huangling Village, is definitely the focus of everyone’s attention.

So when Jiang Lai and Zhang Jingdong walked hand in hand through the village, wherever they went, they quickly drew curious stares.

And as soon as they walked away, people began discussing furiously.

Some in closer relationships with her family even directly asked Jiang Lai, ”Nannini, got a boyfriend?”

Jiang Lai started out a bit shy, instinctively looking at Zhang Jingdong.

And upon seeing Zhang Jingdong’s gaze, she replied shyly and joyfully, ”...Mm.”

”This young man is so energetic, and quite tall, what does he do?”

”Business.”

”Really? Then this young man has a bright future!”

The person then noticed Jiang Lai’s gold necklace and golden bracelet, surprisedly asked, ”Did he give you all these jewelry?”

Jiang Lai nodded, ”...Mm.”

”Your boyfriend is really capable, Nannini, your choices are truly wise!”

Jiang Lai politely smiled and then walked away with Zhang Jingdong.

After walking a distance, Jiang Lai bit her lip, then said with some difficulty to Zhang Jingdong, ”Jingdong... I’m sorry.”

Zhang Jingdong pretended not to understand, ”What’s wrong? Why say this?”

”I... I just used you.”

Zhang Jingdong shrugged, ”What are you talking about? I’m your man, that’s expected, isn’t it? Being used by you means that I have some value, right? Feel free to use me however you like in the future. I’ll absolutely have no objections.”

Seeing Zhang Jingdong’s attitude, Jiang Lai instantly felt relieved.

Then said, ”Actually, it’s like this, living in the village, people often help you when you’re doing well, but laugh at you or even bully you when you’re not.”
