Chapter 50

Liu Yunxuan, who was inside the house, was still unaware that the girl outside had already taken a fancy to him.

Looking at the sun outside, he called out through the window to Michelle, "Michelle, you don’t have to rush with the research. The sun is quite strong now, come inside and have a glass of juice."

Michelle looked up at the sun and indeed felt a bit of the heat. She decided to go in and rest for a while, and while she was at it, she would tell him the good news. Yes, she would just tell him casually.

As soon as she walked into the house, Liu Yunxuan came over with a glass of orange juice, "Here, freshly squeezed orange juice."

"Thank you. By the way, Liu, I had a chat with the certification staff earlier," Michelle said after taking a sip of the orange juice.

"Really? What did you talk about?" Liu Yunxuan's heart skipped a beat, but he tried to sound casual.

Hearing Liu Yunxuan's tone, Michelle got a bit upset, "Nothing much, just some casual chat, I forgot."

Liu Yunxuan was drinking the orange juice and almost choked when he heard this. Was this lady doing this on purpose, just to tease him? But looking at Michelle, she didn’t seem to be joking.

"To thank Miss Michelle for taking the time to care about the organic vegetable certification while being so busy with research, I..." Liu Yunxuan paused, observing Michelle’s reaction.

Michelle, who had been sipping the orange juice with her head tilted, naturally turned her head towards him when he paused.

Liu Yunxuan then continued, "I’ll cook traditional Chinese cuisine for the beautiful Miss Michelle at noon, how about that?"

Hearing this, Michelle was delighted. That’s right, traditional Chinese cuisine should be even more delicious. She even stuck out her little tongue and licked her lips.

Liu Yunxuan was paying close attention to Michelle’s reaction and was caught off guard by her seductive gesture. His head buzzed, and without thinking, he asked, "Michelle, do you have a boyfriend?"

After asking, Liu Yunxuan suddenly came to his senses, "Damn, it must be because Rodriguez and Garcia were talking about Michelle all day that I got confused."

Michelle was just fantasizing about Chinese cuisine and was about to tell Liu Yunxuan the good news from Professor Lille, but Liu Yunxuan asked this question right after.

"Aren’t Chinese people supposed to be reserved? Why did Liu ask so directly?" Michelle thought, her heart a bit flustered, not knowing how to respond.

"We’ve only known each other for a few days, I haven’t decided whether to be your girlfriend yet."

As soon as she said this, Michelle was stunned, thinking, "What did I just say?"

Liu Yunxuan was also stunned, thinking, "What did I just hear? This means she doesn’t have a boyfriend, right?"

While the two were having this mindless exchange, Allen, who had just walked in, was equally stunned.

Allen thought, "Did I come at the wrong time? Should I leave now?"

"Did Liu just propose to my daughter? How should I treat Liu? Should I be the same as before, or should I act as Michelle’s father?"

In that moment, Allen thought a lot.

Liu Yunxuan then noticed the dimmer light in the room and looked towards the door, seeing Allen hesitating.

Uh, it seems Allen saw what just happened. What should I do? Liu Yunxuan thought, not knowing what to say.

Fortunately, whether Allen had figured it out or not, he looked at Liu Yunxuan, hesitated, and then turned and left, saying, "The sun is nice today, you two chat, I’ll go check on the turtle."

Hearing her father’s excuse as he turned to leave, Michelle burst out laughing.

Seeing Michelle’s smile, Liu Yunxuan thought, "Whatever." "Michelle, can I be your boyfriend?"

Hearing Liu Yunxuan’s straightforward words, Michelle almost fainted. Didn’t you hear what I just said? Can’t you wait a couple of days before asking?

"Oh, I’m very busy with my research and have papers to write," Michelle said, then, seeing the disappointment in Liu Yunxuan’s eyes, she added, "You can be my potential boyfriend."

After saying this, Michelle blushed and started drinking the orange juice.

"Yay, great, what do you want for lunch? I’ll cook it for you."

Hearing Michelle’s response, Liu Yunxuan felt enveloped by happiness. The weather was so good today, Garcia was so nice, Rodriguez was so nice, and the big turtle was so nice. Right, the big turtle, it’s really great. I should reward it, and take it into the space tonight, but I wonder if it can fit.

Thinking of the big turtle, Liu Yunxuan upgraded its level. It’s not just a regular turtle anymore, it’s a matchmaker turtle.

"I don’t know what’s good in Chinese cuisine, I’ll only know after you cook it," Michelle said, equally happy with Liu Yunxuan’s performance. She could see that Liu Yunxuan’s happiness was genuine and that he really cared about her.

For lunch, Liu Yunxuan worked hard, making scallion pancakes and beef pies.

When Garcia and Rodriguez came back at noon and saw the scallion pancakes and pies on the table, they were all dishes the boss had never made before. It seemed that beauty had its advantages. The boss had only made two dishes for them so far: boiled dumplings and steamed dumplings.

"Um," before the meal, Liu Yunxuan cleared his throat and said, "Garcia, Rodriguez, I have some good news. Michelle has agreed to be my girlfriend."

Hearing Liu Yunxuan announce this in front of Garcia and Rodriguez, Michelle wasn’t as shy as before. She nodded and said, "Yes, I’ve agreed to let Liu be my potential boyfriend."

Garcia and Rodriguez were stunned. What happened? What did they miss this morning? They were just joking around with Liu Yunxuan in the morning, and now they’re together?

Although Michelle said Liu Yunxuan was her potential boyfriend, her expression didn’t match that at all.

The two exchanged glances, raised their beers, and Garcia said to Liu Yunxuan, "Congratulations, boss. May your happiness and joy be like a bright morning, under the light of love, all sorrows will vanish."

"Hey, you got it wrong, we’re not married. Why are you giving a toast for a wedding?" Michelle said, feeling a bit off.

Garcia rubbed his head and said, "I learned this at someone else’s wedding. I felt the atmosphere between you and the boss was good, so I just said it."

"Okay, that’s fine, Michelle, don’t mind it, let’s eat," Liu Yunxuan said, quite enjoying the toast.

Michelle glared at Liu Yunxuan, speared a scallion pancake with her fork, and started eating.

She didn’t notice that Garcia and Rodriguez hadn’t touched their knives. They had learned that they should watch how the boss ate the food first before deciding how to eat it themselves.
