Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 46

"No way! I am not cooking for you!" Molly said, defiantly staring at him.

"Really? Then I'm going to eat Brian's noodles!" Eric said teasingly.

"What? You..." Molly was stumped by his words, and her chest heaved as she breathed deeply, trying to control her anger. At first, she had thought well of Eric, especially since he was willing to help her. But since last time, when he had played the malicious trick of lending money to her, he had made a very bad impression on her. Even though he wasn't obligated to help her, he shouldn't have fooled her like that.

With his lips curled into an even more playful smile, he suddenly leaned forward and whispered in her ears," Remember, this is just a game. Don't put too much emotion in it! Or else, you would be the one who gets hurt in the end. Understand?"

Having Finished his words, he raised his eyebrows. A dash of seriousness streaked across his face for a moment, but was soon replaced back by his playful look. Standing up, he glanced at Brian, and left the kitchen.

Molly compressed her lips, watching him go away. Then, she looked back at Brian, and with Eric's words echoing in her mind, she hastily shifted her eyes and awkwardly said," Umm... The food will be done in a few moments. Until then, can you..."

"Okay!" He seemed to understand what she wanted to say before she could finish her words and, kissing her forehead gently, calmly consoled her," You're my woman. So, you won't have any chance to feel inferior to anyone."

Taking one more glance at her, he left the kitchen too.

Eric had already taken off his stained coat. Casually sitting down, he leaned on the sofa after turning on the disc player. The melodious strains of violin solo wound around the room, and he rested his legs on the low tea table.

A moment later, Brian also sat down beside him. Elegantly crossing his legs, he asked," I've heard that your father is interested in buying that ruined land in A City. Is that true?"

"Brian! You indeed have some far-reaching sources!" Shrugging his shoulders, Eric put on a serious face and said," Dad wants to build a Smile hotel there."

Brian slightly furrowed his bushy eyebrows and said," But I don't think it's suitable in this city."

"It depends on Auntie Shirley's opinions," Eric replied nonchalantly," Besides, that land has a good potential value. We need to bid and purchase it first, and then consider its uses."

Brian didn't oppose him. Anyone who had a good business sense and a long-term perspective knew that the ruined land was going to become a prosperous commercial circle in just a few years.

Eric unwittingly caught a glimpse of the kitchen and suddenly changed his topic," Becky...the first dish she cooked for you... was also tomato and egg noodles. Isn't that right?"

"Yes!" Brian responded simply, without the slightest trace of any mood-change.
