Chapter 96 You Really Care About Me

Rex said and ran to his room, he needed to take the medicine he usually took to check.

Locke found Ashley sitting at a dining table.

"Hey!" Locke greeted Susan and Mike who were sitting with Ashley.

Seeing the food on Mike and Susan's dinner plate, Ashley said, "What do you think of this roast chicken?"

"Very good, did you prepare it?" Mike asked.

"That's right." Ashley said with a smile, "It's just a Chinese-style grilled chicken, which tastes different from ours here."

"Can you cook Chinese food?" Susan was a little shocked.

Many Chinese dishes are cumbersome to make, and many Americans know it, so they basically don't know how to cook it.

Susan couldn't help but look at the large German sausages bought from the market on the grill, and felt pressured by her own cooking skills.

Among the dishes brought by everyone, this beggar chicken dish is the most distinctive. Locke specially sent people to Chinatown to order lotus leaf hemp rope.

Although it is still not as good as the authentic lotus leaf beggar's chicken, it is very high-end just by looking at the packaging.

Like those branded chocolates that are packaged in gold foil, it is the same principle that makes people feel high-end at a glance.

With the lotus leaf package, after the food is opened, the aroma will burst out, which is very attractive.

Mike and Susan were attracted by the smell, and managed to 'grab' two chicken thighs.

After I tasted it just now, I felt that the chicken was soft and tender, and tasted carefully, it still smelled like wine. It was not as dry as ordinary roast chicken, and the taste was slightly sweet, which really fit their taste.

This beggar's chicken dish is not an orthodox recipe, and Locke has specially improved it. After all, most of the people around him eat sour and sweet food.

"This is really surprising. This roast chicken tastes the best I've ever eaten!" Mike chuckled and praised, and then said to Locke: "The job you told me about two days ago, I don't know if you have No suitable candidate was found."

"Not yet." Locke said: "You are asking this now, are you planning to take this job?"

"If you haven't decided on a candidate yet." Mike nodded.

"Welcome to join." Locke smiled and shook hands with Mike: "Can you let me know what made you change your mind?"

"You know, I proposed to Susan a few days ago, and Susan and I planned the future wedding together, and then I realized that I might need an extra income." Mike said.

Locke's security company has set up a shelf, and initially recruited a small number of bodyguards. Now it is mainly responsible for the security of Ashley, Peggy and Tang Wei.

At the same time, the training center and dormitory on the farm were also designed and ready to start construction.

The job to be handed over to Mike was to be in charge of the pipeline laying of the training center on the farm, and he offered a good price.

The farm is some distance away from Meijing Town, and it takes a lot of time to drive back and forth. In this way, the time spent with Susan will be reduced. He just got engaged to Susan, so naturally he doesn't want to do this.

Plumbing was not a lucrative career, and he didn't have much savings. Mike got a sum of money from a rich man before, and most of it had become his wedding ring.

For Susan, she naturally wants a perfect wedding, which is the same for every girl, and Mike can only fully support this, at least not compared to Susan's lawyer ex-husband.

According to the custom in the United States, when a girl gets married, her natal family has to pay for the wedding expenses. American families with conditions will prepare a wedding fund for their daughters.

But this is the second time for Susan to get married, so naturally it is impossible to have any wedding funds, and Mike and Susan have to prepare for the wedding expenses by themselves.

After calculating the funds that may be needed, Mike found that if he followed the odd jobs of the surrounding residents in the past, he would not be able to earn enough money.

That's why I thought of taking the job offered by Locke.

After understanding the reason, Locke smiled and said:
"The wedding is indeed a big event. I will definitely support it. That's good. I have a French manor over there on the farm. You can go and see it. If you are satisfied, it will be used as your wedding venue. It is my gift to you. Bridal gift."

"Manor?!" Susan and Mike were taken aback.

"That's right, it covers an area of ​​more than 6000 square meters, which should be enough for a wedding. Ashley has a lot of photos of the manor. After you have seen it, if you are interested, you can go to the site to visit together."

Ashley also became interested at this time, and said with a bit of flaunting: "That manor is very beautiful. The original owner specially invited a French designer to design it. I have a room there..."

Having said that, Susan also became very interested and started discussing with Ashley.

"Wow, this is really..." Mike patted Locke's shoulder happily: "Thank you so much."

"It's nothing." Locke said with a smile: "I know you are a very good person. Susan is also Peggy's temporary guardian. I am very happy to provide help within my ability."

After a short while, the big problem was solved, Mike was in a good mood, and the atmosphere of chatting was also up.

The whole party was lively and lively, and it lasted until after eight o'clock before Locke left with Ashley.

The next day, Locke and Peggy drove to school. On the way, Locke suddenly said to Peggy: "I feel that something is wrong with Ashley recently."

"What's wrong?"

"After the community dinner came back, she asked me if I would like her forever in the future." Locke said: "This is not very in line with her character. She has always been very confident in herself."

"How did you answer?" Peggy suddenly showed interest.

"Of course I won't let her go unless she wants to go." Locke frowned and said, "You did it, right?"

"What did I do?" Peggy said with a smile, rolling her eyes.

"You are pua Ashley." Locke said with certainty: "I didn't notice it before, but I can feel it when I recall the conversation between you and Ashley I heard occasionally."

"Don't you like it?" Peggy looked at Locke with a smile: "You don't have to worry about her having any problems because of your fickleness, and don't bother to appease her, she will stay by your side obediently."

"I'm really bothered, so I made it very clear from the beginning, and at the same time I will not use such means." Locke's tone was serious: "I have also specialized in psychology, but I will not treat people around me like this." people."

"This is at best a kind of psychological counseling." Peggy looked at Locke and said, "I didn't distort her thoughts, but she had such thoughts in her heart, so I followed the trend and the results were very good. Everyone will be very happy .”

"Then let me tell you now, don't do this." Locke emphasized.

Seeing what Locke said, Peggy pouted: "I'm not for you yet."

"It's not necessary." Locke said, "I don't want you to get used to doing this. It's not a good thing, especially for those around you."

"It seems that you really care about me." Peggy's eyes lit up, and she said with certainty, "If it wasn't, you wouldn't be thinking of persuading me."

"I've never denied it." Locke said calmly, "Your talent is very high. It seems that some things that I originally planned to tell you little by little in the future have to be brought forward."

"Are you planning to be my godfather?!" Peggy smiled like a flower: "Then what kind of person do you like me to be?"

"I just don't want you to go astray," Locke stretched out his hand and rubbed Peggy's head: "The rest is up to you. There's nothing wrong with being naughty, as long as you master it well."

"Mastery? Then how do you judge?" Peggy looked at Locke.

"I will teach you slowly." Locke left this sentence behind.

For a talented girl like Peggy, prematurity is inevitable, and at this time her three views have begun to gradually take shape, and Locke can only guide her ideas.

After all, such a genius is capable of doing many very dangerous things. He doesn't want Peggy to develop a villain mentality, and Locke will definitely have a headache at that time.
