Jiang Ruoli immediately replied: "Yes."

See she agrees.

So Lu Yanjue quickly packed up and went out with Jiang Ruoli.

The weather had turned completely cold, and Lu Yanjue drove the car himself and took Jiang Ruoli out of the institute.

Originally, Jiang Ruoli thought that they were just going to a restaurant to have a meal.

But surprisingly, it didn't.

The two drove for more than an hour and moved away from the city.

After dark, there was a cloud of mist among the trees, and a thin layer of fog rose.

The car wound its way up and arrived at a manor, which was located halfway up the mountain and the house looked very old.

Jiang Ruoli was very confused and asked, "Where is this?"

Lu Yanjue replied calmly: "It's my private estate. I'll show you my secret base."

Jiang Ruoli's curiosity was aroused. What was the Earl's secret base?

That means outsiders cannot enter?

She was immediately interested.

Soon, the car entered the gate of the manor and continued to drive forward.

Finally, they went around the main house and stopped at the back mountain of the manor.

Jiang Ruoli looked through the car window and saw the building outside. It was a beautifully built wooden house.

She couldn't wait to open the car door and get out.

The wind in the mountains is very cold, but the air is extremely fresh.

When she went out, she was so happy that she forgot to bring her coat.

I didn’t feel cold in the car just now, but now, I couldn’t help but shiver.

But she didn't care. The cold was acceptable.

Lu Yanjue opened the door of the wooden house and took her inside.

After entering the door, you can see the decoration inside clearly. It is somewhat similar to the renovated glass greenhouse at home. The heater is already burning and the house is warm.

However, the style here is obviously less romantic and warm, and has more of a Nordic coldness... The decorative paintings hanging on the wall are also cold in tone.

On one wall, there were even various guns displayed, and it was hard to tell whether they were models or real ones.

On the other side are various knives, swords, bows and arrows, etc.

It is carved with intricate patterns and looks very valuable.

After Jiang Ruoli saw it, he couldn't help but be surprised and said, "This house doesn't match your usual style at all."

I didn't expect that Mr. Earl had this hobby and liked to collect these.

Lu Yanjue smiled faintly and said, "I am usually a doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded, so I naturally show a gentler side. As for this place...

I've already said that this is a secret base, and the things collected here are naturally things that cannot be easily shown to others!"

Jiang Ruoli blinked and thought that he couldn't show it to others easily, but he still brought himself here.

Do you want to show your 'ungentle' side to yourself?

Although it was indeed unexpected, Jiang Ruoli was very happy.

She was very happy to know more about him so that she could have a better understanding of him.

Jiang Ruoli looked at him and asked, "Can I have a look?"

Lu Yanjue raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, but wait until after dinner! Fill your stomach first. It's late, and I'm afraid you'll be hungry."

After that, Lu Yanjue took off his coat and pulled her into the restaurant...

Before coming, Lu Yanjue had obviously instructed someone to arrange the place in advance. There were lit candles on the table, as well as bouquets of flowers with water droplets on them and ambient lights.

On the kitchen counter, there are prepared raw ingredients.

The man was rolling up his sleeves, as if he was going to cook.

Jiang Ruoli was surprised after seeing it and asked, "Are you going to do it yourself?"

Lu Yanjue nodded and replied, "I originally wanted to take you to a restaurant outside, but I felt that with other people around, there would be fewer opportunities for us to be alone together, so I naturally had to keep some time for myself.

Besides, this place is somewhat similar to the glass greenhouse. I wanted to have dinner with you there, but I was delayed by the royal family's affairs. It's a good time to make up for it now."

Jiang Ruoli nodded, "Okay!"

Looking at the ingredients on the table, it’s not simple. If you don’t have certain cooking skills, I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle it!

However, she had tried the Earl's cooking skills last time and the noodles he made were quite good.

So she was not worried and even began to look forward to the Count preparing the food and feeding her.

However, soon, this idea changed...

Lu Yanjue was indeed methodical. He turned on the fire, added oil, heated the pan, and then added the ingredients...

However, just as he put it down, the splashing oil scared him and he took a step back.

Jiang Ruoli was a little surprised after seeing it.

Can't you cook? Why is it like this?

The man at this moment was not as calm as usual, but rather more serious, as if he was facing some huge problem.

Although Jiang Ruoli was skeptical, he decided to take another look and said to comfort her, "It's probably because the water wasn't wiped dry just now."

Lu Yanjue nodded calmly and said, "Yes."

Then, he stood back and quickly flipped the steak over.

As a result, more oil splashed out and stained his clothes.

Seeing this, Jiang Ruoli quickly said, "Let me get your apron for you! Don't let the oil splash on your clothes."

Lu Yanjue nodded in agreement, "Okay."

Jiang Ruoli quickly took it and hung it around his neck, then went behind him and helped him tie the strap.

During the process, the posture gave the feeling of half-hugging him from behind.

Jiang Ruoli's ears felt a little hot and he felt embarrassed, but he still tied the belt.

Lu Yanjue felt the movement on his waist and couldn't help but lower his eyes to look. The girl's fair arms were half around his waist.

This situation... makes it difficult for me to concentrate on cooking!

I was distracted for a moment and my mind was not on the food.

The consequence is that the steak is forgotten to be turned over and gets burnt.

A burnt smell soon came, and the meat was also black.

It's simply disgusting.

After Lu Yanjue saw it, his brows furrowed.

Jiang Ruoli was also surprised after tying the belt and asked, "Did you forget to turn it over?"

Lu Yanjue tried to stay calm and said, "The fire seems to have gotten bigger."

Jiang Ruoli leaned over to take a look, "It's true. It was a big fire at the beginning, but it must have turned into a small fire later."

Lu Yanjue said calmly: "It's okay, I'll do it again."

Then he went to the refrigerator to get a backup and continued frying it again.

Jiang Ruoli didn't think much about it and just watched quietly beside him.

Until... Lu Yanjue failed to fry it the second time.

Jiang Ruoli looked at the black stuff in the pot and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Earl... can't you cook?"

When I was cooking noodles before, I looked very skilled.

How come I failed twice in a row now?

Hearing this, Lu Yanjue hesitated for a moment before seriously correcting her, "I said at the time that I could do some simple things, simple things like cooking noodles, frying eggs, making sandwiches, etc... um!"
