Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 445 Guan Juer 16

Guan Juer closed the door, went to get a comfortable set of loungewear to change into; there was no need to dress too formally for the upstairs and downstairs area.

The closets in this house are full of clothes. A few days ago, Zhou Ling even had someone send her a lot of brand-name clothes, jewelry, and bags.

She had them all sent to the villa; the two-bedroom apartment in Ode to Joy was indeed a bit small.

Before leaving the house, she opened the refrigerator and took out a large box of cherries and a large bottle of juice.

I took the elevator to the 22nd floor, walked to room 2201 and knocked on the door. After a short wait, the door opened from the inside.

Qiu Yingying opened the door and, seeing her, quickly said, "Come in, come in."

Guan Juer placed the things she brought on the table. Qu Xiaoxiao didn't come, so there were only four people eating.

Andy smiled and said to her, "I only have wine here, but it's perfect that you brought fruit and juice."

“Yes, I don’t drink much alcohol, but I can drink juice,” Qiu Yingying added.

There was a box of cherries in the fridge, so I took it down. Do you need help?

As Guan Juer spoke, she looked at Fan Shengmei, who was busy in the kitchen.

Fan Shengmei said, "You can set the table with Little Earthworm and just wait for dinner."

"Okay, then I'll wait to eat."

Today we're having hot pot. Once all the ingredients are laid out, everyone starts eating.

"Delicious." Qiu Yingying took a bite of the meat and ate happily.

Upon hearing this, Andy smiled and said, "It's delicious! I really didn't expect it. It's so easy to make a meal. Cooking is really not that difficult. I think it's worth learning."

"Yes, it's not difficult at all." Guan Juer nodded as she ate.

"By the way, I heard from Xiao Qu that you're a great cook!" Andy said, looking at her.

"It's alright, but I only cook one meal occasionally."

"Xiao Qu said your cooking is delicious. Can I ask you for help if I have any questions later?"

"of course can."

Fan Shengmei looked at Andy: "Hey, hey, hey, you wouldn't be cooking for Brother Wei, would you?"

Andy smiled and said, "Going out to eat is too troublesome. It's time-consuming and uncomfortable. Besides, I always run into acquaintances when I go out to eat with Brother Wei. It's much more comfortable to stay at home."

Logically speaking, Guan Juer shouldn't know about Andy and Wei Wei's affair since she hasn't had frequent contact with them.

So she just listened to them talk and ate her food without interrupting.

After Andy finished speaking, he asked again, "Do you know of any other cuisines that are simple and easy to learn?"

Guan Juer said, "Let's make soup and porridge, and stew. Just prepare the ingredients and seasonings."

“Yes, cooking porridge and soup is the most convenient. If you really have the time to stir-fry dishes, you might as well earn money to hire a nanny or order takeout,” Fan Shengmei said.

Andy looked at Guan Juer: "Don't you usually find it troublesome?"

"It's alright, since someone prepares the ingredients, I can cook quickly. But I often eat out, and occasionally I ask my aunt to come and cook."

She hasn't been going back to the villa much lately, so she basically has the housekeeper come over to cook for her since she doesn't go out.

Fan Shengmei asked curiously, "You hired a housekeeper to cook? Why don't you live with your parents?"

She always thought Guan Juer was from Shanghai, after all, she lived here and had studied here before.

Guan Juer nodded: "If I don't want to go out, I'll have the housekeeper come to my house. My parents are in my hometown of Wuxi, and it's inconvenient for me to go back often."

"Guan Guan, if you hadn't told us, we would have thought you were from Shanghai!" Qiu Yingying said after hearing this.

"No, I just settled here after attending university here."

When people thought about the value of one of her paintings, they instantly understood that she was a wealthy person who had made her own money.

Andy looked at her with admiration: "You're amazing. You've achieved so much at only your early twenties."

Guan Juer smiled and said modestly, "I also have some talent and luck involved."

Fan Shengmei had envied her countless times. She was so young and had everything on her own, while she was already thirty and didn't know what the future held.

Although Qiu Yingying was somewhat envious, she was carefree and content with her current life, focusing only on working hard.

The topic returned to Andy's cooking, which she is now very interested in: "When I get home from get off work, I have time to think about and learn how to cook."

Qiu Yingying hadn't said anything when she heard that she wanted to learn, but now she spoke up: "Andy, I have learned this the hard way. If you want to be too good to a man, even if you think so in your heart, you can't show it. You have to be good to him little by little."

"why?"

"Because if you are too good to him, that man will easily look down on you, and slowly he will become impatient with you and get tired of you."

Andy didn't seem to care and laughed, saying, "How did you come to these conclusions?"

"These are all things that Sister Fan told me."

Fan Shengmei smiled, surprised that the woman remembered what she said. But she had lost her rationality when she was in love before. Love is a complicated thing.

Seeing that Andy didn't seem to care, Qiu Yingying continued, "I know what you're thinking right now. You must think that Brother Wei is an exception, but let me tell you, exceptions are extremely rare, and the vast majority are not exceptions."

Upon hearing this, Andy's expression became more serious: "I still want to thank you for telling me all this."

Fan Shengmei listened but smiled without saying anything, while Guan Juer nodded in agreement: "Yingying, what you said makes sense. Most men are like that."

"You think so too?" Andy was a little surprised; she didn't think Guan Juer was such an absolute person.

Qiu Yingying clapped her hands, somewhat excited that someone agreed with her: "Guan Guan, you agree with what I said?"

Guan Juer nodded: "I think it's okay for couples to express their feelings appropriately, but they can't be too nice to each other without any sense of proportion, otherwise many people will take it for granted over time."

“I agree with that. Many men are like that. They think you’re easy to control and can’t live without them. And they’re not challenging enough for them. People who are too easy to get won’t be cherished,” Fan Shengmei also shared her opinion.

Guan Juer took a sip of juice and nodded, "Well, but I'm not being absolute. If you're just enjoying love and aren't afraid of unexpected events or getting hurt in a relationship, then it doesn't matter and you don't need to think about it so much."

"Guan Guan, I didn't realize you were so insightful at such a young age. I've never seen you in a relationship," Fan Shengmei remarked.

Seeing everyone's curious looks, Guan Juer smiled slightly: "I started dating recently."

"If you hadn't said anything, I would have thought you were always alone," Qiu Yingying said with a smile.

Fan Shengmei joked, "I thought so too. I thought Guan Guan was the kind who stayed home drawing all day. Oh, I forgot you also go out to play. I even ran into you at the bar entrance before."

"Of course I go out to play often, and I don't paint every day."
