Chapter 97 Cupid's Bracelet
When the cruise ship docked, Yuan Xudong led Zhu Suosuo, Jiang Nansun and Wang Manni to disembark and play together for a whole day, until night fell, and the four returned to the cruise ship with local special ingredients and souvenirs.

Walking into the exclusive restaurant, handing the special ingredients and tips to the waiter, the four of them chose a seat by the window. Yuan Xudong and Zhu Suosuo sat on one side, and Wang Manni and Jiang Nansun sat on the other side, facing each other.

Waiting for the waiter to serve special delicacies, a Caucasian chef walked up to him, looked at Yuan Xudong, stretched out his hand and said with a smile:
"Hello, sir, how is the dish today?"

“Looks good and tastes really good too!”

Yuan Xudong stood up, shook hands with the white chef with US dollars in his hand and said:

"I want to borrow the back kitchen, I wonder if it's possible?"

"of course can!"

After accepting the dollars, the white chef said with a smile on his face:

"I won't bother you and the three ladies to eat, please enjoy it, please feel free to contact me if you need anything!"

"alright, thank you very much!"

"You're welcome, I wish you a pleasant meal!"

After the white chef left, Jiang Nansun looked at Yuan Xudong, who was diagonally opposite, and said strangely while eating the delicacies made with the ingredients he selected:

"Yuan Xudong, why do you want to borrow the back kitchen?"

Glancing at the slightly curious Jiang Nansun, Yuan Xudong said calmly:

"I'm going to make a bowl of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, do you want to eat it?"

"fine!"

Thinking that Yuan Xudong was perfunctory, Jiang Nansun gave him a blank look, turned to look at Wang Manni beside him and said with a smile:

"Manni, the blue diamond on your neck is so beautiful, just like the heart of the ocean in the movie, can't it be the real heart of the ocean?"

Hearing what Jiang Nansun said, without waiting for Wang Manni to respond, Zhu Suosuo, who was sitting opposite her, couldn't wait to say:
"It's definitely not true. Manni's blue diamond looks relatively small. I checked the information when I watched the movie. The real heart of the ocean costs tens of millions of dollars. Manni can't be so rich, right?"

Glancing at Zhu Suosuo, Jiang Nansun looked at Wang Manni and said embarrassedly:

"Manni, don't mind, Suosuo is just like this, say what's on your mind, there's no other meaning!"

"It's ok!"

Wang Manni shook her head slightly, looked down at the dark blue diamond worn around her neck and explained:
"My boyfriend gave it to me. I don't know how much it's worth. I'll wear it for two days and return it to him when I get back to Shanghai!"

Hearing what Wang Manni said, Zhu Suosuo couldn't help but wondered:

"Why did you give it back to him, don't you like such a beautiful diamond?"

"Of course I like it. Such a beautiful diamond is just like the heart of the ocean in the movie. What woman doesn't like it?"

Wang Manni glanced at Yuan Xudong who was eating quietly, then looked at Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun and said with a smile:
"My boyfriend is dating three women at the same time. I plan to break up with him and return all the things he gave me, including this Heart of the Ocean diamond!"

"Is he such a scumbag?"

"Cough cough~~"

"Xudong, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, I'm choking, please lower your voice to scare me!"

"Oh, I see, drink slowly!"

Patted Yuan Xudong on the back, and when he returned to normal, Zhu Suosuo continued to look at Wang Manni, and said indignantly for her:
"Your boyfriend is so bad, it's fine if you don't teach him a lesson, but you still want to return his things?"

Without waiting for Wang Manni to respond, she continued to talk eloquently:
"If it were me, I'd sell the diamond. Wouldn't it be good to exchange it for a mental damage fee? Find two more people and go to his company to promote it. It's best to collect some evidence, such as photos, chat records, etc. He put it on the Internet, let him taste what social death is, and if you want to be private, you can also ask him to pay you a sum of money, what do you think of my idea?"

"Money, money, money, you know money!"

Seeing Zhu Suosuo jumping up and down there urging Wang Manni to clean up, Yuan Xudong poked her head with his finger and said:

"Eat more, talk less!"

"I hate it, I didn't mention you, why are you so excited?"

Turning a blind eye to Yuan Xudong, Zhu Suosuo gave Wang Manni a cheering gesture, and then started to eat quietly. After glancing at Yuan Xudong and Jiang Nansun, Wang Manni looked at Zhu Suosuo and said with a smile:
"Miss Zhu, you are so cute, no wonder Mr. Yuan likes you so much!"

"I like him too!"

Picking up the wine glass and touching Zhu Suosuo, Wang Manni took a sip of red wine, then looked at Yuan Xudong and said with a smile:

"Mr. Yuan, I wonder if you can show me the back kitchen?"

"no problem!"

"I want to be with Nansun too!"

Glancing at Zhu Suosuo, who was joining in the fun, Yuan Xudong directly pinched her face and said with a smile:

"The cruise ship is not owned by my family. At most two people can visit the back kitchen together. You and Nansun go back to rest early. After returning to Shanghai, I will give you a surprise, okay?"

"What surprise?"

"Temporarily keep it secret, you will definitely like it!"

"I want to know now, can you tell me?"

"I can tell you now, but after returning to Shanghai, the surprise will be given to Nansun. Are you sure you want to do this?"

"I'm sure, Nansun's is mine, so hurry up and tell me!"

"Forget it, I'm afraid you will regret it, so I don't want to say anything!"

"Don't, who regrets who is a puppy, hurry up and say it!"

"I bought a large yacht with a length of about 20 meters. Since you don't care about it, I'll give it to Nansun. The name of the yacht is the Laurel Goddess. What do you think?"

Hearing that Yuan Xudong bought a large luxury yacht, Zhu Suosuo opened his eyes slightly, hugged his arm and said coquettishly:
"I hate it, why isn't it called Suo Suo Number?"

Glancing at Zhu Suosuo, Yuan Xudong jokingly said:
"Who regrets who's a puppy?"

Hearing Yuan Xudong making fun of himself, Zhu Suosuo immediately hugged his neck and whispered shyly in his ear:
"After Nansun falls asleep, I'll go find you, okay?"

Glancing at Zhu Suosuo, who was trying to seduce him, Yuan Xudong came to her ear and whispered:
"I don't worry about you coming alone. After Nansun falls asleep, you send me a message. I'll pick you up in the past. Just put on the same suit as last time, understand?"

Before Zhu Suosuo could continue to say something, Wang Manni put down the tableware and said:

"Mr. Yuan, I'm full, can you show me the back kitchen?"

Let Zhu Suosuo sit down and eat, Yuan Xudong glanced at the smiling Wang Manni and said with a smile:
"Miss Wang, it's meal time now, the back kitchen will be busy, wait a while, let's go visit again!"

"Then thank you, Mr. Yuan!"

"You're welcome, it should be!"

After the meal, Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun were sent back to the room. Yuan Xudong returned to the restaurant on the fifteenth floor. Wang Manni was sitting there alone, looking out the window in a daze.

Walking up to her, Yuan Xudong stretched out his hand and said with a smile:
"Miss Wang, please come with me, I will take you to the back kitchen for a visit!"

Gazing at Yuan Xudong, without letting him hold her hand, Wang Manni held her neck proudly and said:
"Mr. Yuan, lead the way ahead, hurry up and fulfill your second wish, I can't wait to get rid of you!"

"is it?"

Glancing at the pretentious Wang Manni, Yuan Xudong walked ahead with a smile and led the way, entered the back kitchen, greeted the former white chef, and took some tomatoes and eggs. Yuan Xudong was next to him, and Wang Manni was in charge of cooking. While frying eggs, she taught Yuan Xudong a lesson:
"This is the best way to make eggs. The scrambled eggs with tomatoes you ordered are a complete waste of ingredients. It looks like it was made casually. You still give people so many tips. You are really stupid and rich!"

After all, she glanced at Yuan Xudong, saw that he had finished cutting the tomatoes, and ordered:

"The eggs are fried, you pour the tomatoes into the pan!"

"No problem, pour it all in?"

"all!"

Seeing Yuan Xudong's clumsy appearance, Wang Manni gave him a blank look and said:

"Didn't you cook yourself?"

"I didn't have time to cook in my previous life, but I don't need to cook in this life!"

Glancing at the nonsense Yuan Xudong, Wang Manni stir-fried for a while, and when the frying was almost done, she turned off the gas stove, poured the scrambled eggs with tomatoes in the pot into the dinner plate, handed it to Yuan Xudong and said with a smile:
"Your second wish has come true, do you want to try it?"

"Of course!"

After taking the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, Yuan Xudong took a sip and said with a smile:
"Wang Manni, they charge money for scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Is your scrambled eggs with tomatoes terrible?"

Seeing Yuan Xudong making fun of herself, Wang Manni quickly picked up the chopsticks and took a sip, her face turned reddish and she said:
"I'm so busy with work, how can I have time to cook every day, isn't it just a little more salt?"

After finishing speaking, she reached out to snatch the scrambled eggs with tomatoes and said:

"Don't eat it, I'll make another one!"

"It doesn't matter, I like to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes that are saltier!"

Reaching out to block Wang Manni, Yuan Xudong ate a plate full of tomatoes and eggs. After a while, he put down the tableware, took out a souvenir from his pocket and handed it to Wang Manni with a smile:
"One wish for one gift, I ate your scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and this gift is for you!"

"I do not want!"

Wang Manni put her hands behind her back, turned her eyes away and refused:
"When I get back to Shanghai, I have to return it to you. It's too troublesome!"

"Take it, it's worthless, it's only a few tens of euros!"

Seeing Wang Manni standing there silently, Yuan Xudong walked up to her, pulled out her right hand, and while helping her put on Cupid's bracelet, said in a deep voice:

"In ancient Greek myths and legends, Cupid, the god of love, had two very special arrows, one sharp arrow made of gold and one blunt arrow made of lead. Anyone who was shot by his sharp arrow made of gold, The passion for love will immediately ignite in the heart, on the contrary, if the person is shot by another blunt arrow made of lead, the heart will hate love very much.

Once, Apollo offended Cupid, Cupid shot the arrow of love at Apollo, and shot the blunt lead arrow at Daphne. Daphne immediately became very disgusted with love, but Apollo Already deeply in love with her.

In order to avoid Apollo's pursuit, Daphne fled to the valley and became a laurel tree, unable to speak or walk freely, and could only take root there alone all her life. This is the story of the goddess of laurel! "

Helping Wang Manni put on the bracelet, Yuan Xudong let go of her right hand and promised:
"Nini, you are my Daphne, I don't want you to become a laurel tree that cannot speak and have no freedom, this bracelet is your amulet.

I hope that one day in the future, you can take it off and return it to me in person. No matter when and where, as long as you see this bracelet, I will definitely appear by your side! "
