Chapter 827: Chapter 344: Extreme Maneuvering (Part 2)

"Thanks for the trouble. I might need about 6 hours, you can go have a meal nearby and come back later."

Then he straightened his clothes and took the book "You Are My Sunshine" upstairs.

When he knocked on the door, Sister Qing Ting, wearing pajamas, had a burning surprise on her face.

"Why are you here so early? Are you done with work?"

Han Lie grinned and said, "A bit ahead of time, came to see what surprise you have prepared for me... Wow, smells great! Are you cooking?"

"Uh-huh~~~"

Sister Qing Ting bent down to change Han Lie’s shoes, making the pajamas stretch into a peach shape.

She’s at the peak of her looks and physique now, beautiful and charming, fully mature.

The 30-year-old Guo Qingting is undoubtedly the most formidable female artist of the Magic Capital + Hong Kong Island era, before baby Yang had cosmetic surgery, she looked downright provincial compared to her.

The most important is her naturally complex and captivating aura, sometimes artistic, sometimes assertive, sometimes the perfect wife and mother, utterly enchanting.

The rascal Lie accepted her service with peace of mind, then looked at the cozy living room, chuckling as he asked, "I’m just hungry, what does Sister plan to feed me?"

"I can’t handle anything too complicated. There’s steak, cola chicken wings, steamed scallops and oysters, stir-fried veggie hearts, and a nut cake I baked myself... Wait a bit, the ingredients are ready, but I haven’t had time to start cooking yet."

Guo Qingting busied herself going back and forth, nervous and flustered.

It’s clear she prepared to serve lunch right at 12, yet Han Lie arrived half an hour early, catching her off guard.

Han Lie rolled up his sleeves, stepped into the kitchen.

"Let me help you!"

Guo Qingting turned around in surprise, "You know how to cook?"

"Even if I can’t, I can’t just watch Sister do it all herself, right?"

The sly guy sweet-talked while secretly opening the system panel, muttering: "Boost my cooking skills to Level 4!"

The reason I, Han Lie, have my achievements today, is due to hard work!

The moment Level 4 cooking skill arrived, rascal Lie grabbed the knife, spun it around single-handedly, then effortlessly chopped up the chicken wings. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Next, he smoothly poured in various seasonings, added a small amount of starch, and began kneading to marinate.

That deft action amazed Guo Qingting.

"You really know how..."

Such a golden opportunity, Han Lie decisively started to play the pitiful card for favor.

He casually said, "My family isn’t the wealthy household you might think. My mom and dad are ordinary people, doing tough jobs, I’ve had to look after myself since childhood or else I’d go hungry."

"Therefore, once I had money, I became particularly lazy, maybe as a kind of rebellion..."

Nonsense!

Rascal never ventured into the kitchen before high school, even after graduating college, he could only make instant noodles, surviving in the challenging city of Magic Capital, he only honed Level 2 cooking skills over those years...

Clearly born lazy!

Yet Guo Qingting wasn’t aware!

Seeing Han Lie’s skill, she fully believed him.

She tenderly tousled Han Lie’s hair, then kissed him intensely on the cheek, saying emotionally, "Today we cook together, henceforth Sister will take care of you... Haha, just right, I like a lazy little brother who needs management, couldn’t be better!"

"Mm-hmm!"

The sly one acted cute while lowering his head to nibble on Sister’s lips, munch munch munch.

After gaining ample advantage, he began showcasing his cooking skills.

Munch munch munch displayed, more than half the dishes turned out to be his creations.

But every bit of effort paid off, when Sister Qing Ting lit the candles, she was already in excellent spirits, her eyes seductive.

So rascal Lie indulged slowly...

Until she couldn’t bear it anymore.

"Naughty brother, eat properly, there’s still a gift for you later!"

"Just right, I also prepared a gift for Sister..."

Han Lie sensed the moment was right, first unveiling his gift.

"Look, have you seen this?"

He handed over the book "You Are My Sunshine."

"Of course, but..."

Guo Qingting looked confused, feeling Han Lie’s gift shouldn’t be this simple, yet couldn’t guess what the mystery was.

The sly rascal held her hand, gazing deeply into her eyes, slowly spoke.

"In my heart, Sister is an actress with both charisma and skill, while maintaining her limits and professional ethics."

"But few care about that, when they choose actresses, it’s either connections, or exchanging benefits, or who can flatter more."

"Only those minor roles and low-budget productions land in your lap, Guo Xiaosi is even only willing to offer tens of thousands as payment for you..."

"They undervalue you."

"I know your potential is far beyond a Nan Xiang, so I brought you Zhao Mosheng..."

"Wait!"

Guo Qingting’s eyes sparkled with tears, moved and surprised as she asked, "Did you get me the female lead in ’You Are My Sunshine’?"

"Mm."

Han Lie nodded lightly, his expression somewhat apologetic.

"I don’t have much strength in the entertainment circle, so it’s just the leading role in the TV series, but I carefully read the original work, and feel to fully manifest Zhao Mosheng’s charm, the long series actually has an advantage over a 100-minute movie..."

"Stop talking!"

Sister Qing Ting threw the wine glass, rushed over: "Kiss me!"

Wow, with that rush, she bumped her head, both got dazed, then dazed until daylight...
