Eternal Love: A Love Story Chapter 281 – You can cook for everyone yourself?

Xu Lan looked at Song Xiner in confusion seeing her asking questions anxiously.

She didn’t expect such a reaction from her.

” Why are you getting so anxious? I am just simply asking if you know what happened to her. There is nothing to worry about.” She shrugged her shoulders casually.

Xie Ming looked at Song Xiner to calm down. She can sense from Xu Lan’s tone that there is nothing to be worried about.

Song Xiner looked at Xie Ming and nodded. She realized that she was being too impatient. 

Seeing Song Xiner calm down, Xu Lan continued, ” One hour back, Bai Yang came to me and told me that she is going back to the city. She said she is quitting her job as Yuan Lei’s assistant. So if I have anything, then I should contact Yuan Lei herself.” She said while letting out a chuckle.

Hearing this, Xie Ming and Song Xiner looked at each other and was stunned.

They have never expected that Bai Yang would leave this work. Xie Ming has thought that she would retaliate against Yuan Lei’s torture, but she has not expected that she will quit this job.

However, it was the best decision of hers. She can find another job which needs her and also help her grow as a person, not always belittling her.

” Where is Yuan Lei? What’s her reaction?” Xie Ming turned to look at Xu Lan and asked curiously.

Song Xiner also looked at Xu Lan curiously.

Suddenly Xu Lan felt that she is gained such importance that both of them were looking at her this way.

She smiled awkwardly and said, ” Ah. About her, she was so furious that tried to hit her in front of me. I was so shocked but Bai Yang held her hand like a heroine and threw it aside.” 

” Bai Yang said at Yuan Lei’s face that she was was a monster and there will be a day when no one will be by her side,” she told them while laughing.

” I was so shocked and stunned seeing Bai Yang retaliating against Yuan Lei like this. But it was so satisfying.” She said while exaggerating.

” After that Yuan lei went to her room and I didn’t see her again. Bai Yang also went back to the city. I arranged a car for her to go back.”

” I felt pity for that girl and this was the least I could do for her.” Xu Lan said while feeling bad that Bai Yang has to leave.

Xie Ming nodded when she heard Xu Lan’s words. Sadly, Bai Yang has to leave but it’s for her good.

This was not the end of her life but it was a start. She was sure that after this, whatever happened to her will be good.

…..

When the trio reached the garden of the hotel that they had booked for themselves, they found that everyone else has already reached except Yuan Lei.

Xie Ming was surprised to see the arrangements that Xu Lan has done.

The garden was decorated with Chinese lights everywhere. A long table was placed in the middle and was surrounded by chairs for them to sit down.

The barbeque was also there for them to prepare the food. It seems that they had to cook their food themselves.

She smiled seeing all the arrangements. This setup was all new to her but was exciting at the same time.

Xu Lan saw a smile on Xie Ming’s face and asked playfully,” do you like it?” 

Xie Ming looked at her and nodded. 

Xu Lan also felt pleased seeing her reaction. When someone compliments her work she felt gleeful.

” Then let’s not waste any more time and let’s get started.”

….

Afterward, Song Xiner and Xie Ming went to help others in cooking.

Xie Ming knows cooking so she volunteered to cook while Jian Yan wants to do the barbeque. So Wu Sheng was given the task to prepare the firewood for the bonfire.

Song Xiner was given the task to arrange the ingredients and preparing.

When Xie Ming approached the cooking table near the barbeque where Jian Yan was standing, he was stunned to see her from close.

She was wearing a simple comfy white dress with slippers showing her smooth legs. She has come downstairs without any makeup. 

She was only using a lip balm and moisturizer. Her hair was open and were flowing like a feather in this windy weather.

He looked at her in a daze as he felt that everything has been stopped and he could only see her.

When Xie Ming approached him, she noticed his dazed expressions.

She furrowed her brows and took the apron placed on the table and wore it.

When she couldn’t take it, she turned to look at him and asked, ” Is there any problem?”

” Why are you staring at me like this? DoI look weird?” She asked him innocently. 

She has no idea why he was looking at her this way.

She started to assume that he might not like her because in front of her he always stops talking.

…

Jian Yan woke up from his daze and pursed his lips.

” Are you going to cook? Do you know how to cook?” He asked her in amaze.

What he remembers that she does not know how to cook at all. 

When they met for the first time, they talked about many things. At that time, he found out that she does not know how to cook.

She hates cooking. Because nothing goes her way whenever she tries to make something.

That’s why he learned to do the cooking because he wanted to be the best man in her eyes.

Yet today she came here to cook? He was still wondering if she knows cooking or not?

He wanted to impress her with his cooking skills that’s why he took this task of cooking. This way he could show her his skills.

But she came herself for cooking. Though it’s better for him to show off his skills this way.

….

Xie Ming didn’t think much of his question and said, ” Yes. I know how to cook. So you can go and take a rest. I can do all this myself.”

She told him to rest because it was nothing and she can cook herself. It’s normal for her to cook for this many people.

It was a piece of cake for her.

When Jian Yan heard this, he looked at her in surprise, ” You can cook for everyone yourself? Alone?”

“Yes.”

Everyone: ” -_- ”

There were more than ten people in total with all the main cast actors, their assistant or manager and now new people have also joined them. 

And it’s better to have more food in advance so that they can share it with others as well and it won’t be short for them.

But they thought that Xie Ming could not cook for this many people alone. After all, she is a pretty girl who is very delicate and beautiful.

They didn’t think too much that she could cook. They all assumed that she was saying this because she wanted to impress everyone with her ability to work hard and respect for seniors.

Others thought that she was trying to do all this just to gain brownie points. She is a newbie and wanted to gain everyone’s trust and respect.

Even Xu Lan and Wu Sheng was suspicious of Xie Ming if she could cook or not? Because she is a girl who looks delicate and pretty. Not many people know cooking these days.
