save the bachelors

Chapter 11 [Happy Life]

In the afternoon, Xiang Nan continued to work on his thesis.

Before leaving get off work, he called Penny, "Honey, how was your work today?"

"It's still the same boring." Penny said bored.

"It's okay, let's take it easy tonight. What do you want to eat tonight?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile, "I'll go to the supermarket to buy ingredients and cook for you myself."

"We ate steak the day before yesterday and pizza yesterday. Tonight I want to eat fried rice, fried dumplings, and General Tso's chicken." Penny thought for a while and said, "Can it be done?"

"OK, no problem." Xiang Nan nodded, "You come to my house after get off work."

After get off work, he declined Howard's invitation, "I'm not going to eat Thai tonight."

"Why, the beauty has an appointment?" Howard asked curiously.

"Yes, I want to cook for Penny myself." Xiang Nan smiled.

"Dude, do you have to be strict with your wife now?" Howard shook his head.

"It's called fun." Xiang Nan gave him a white look, "Okay, I won't tell you, I'm going to buy materials."

"Oh, Raj, you'll spoil her like this," Howard said helplessly.

……

Xiang Nan then went to Costco supermarket to buy the ingredients and seasonings he needed, as well as two bottles of red wine, a dozen beers, and two scented candles.

After returning home, he happened to meet the cleaner Maria who was helping him clean.

Seeing Xiang Nan come back, she just glanced at him, but didn't say hello to him, she was still doing her own thing.

"Hi, Maria~" Xiang Nan smiled at her, startling her.

Before that, Xiang Nan was in front of her, but he couldn't say a word, like a little mute.

Now she suddenly spoke, which shocked her.

"..." Maria looked up and down, looking at Xiang Nan in surprise, "God bless you, you can speak."

"Of course." Xiang Nan nodded, "please sit down, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Maria sat down suspiciously, looking at Xiang Nan with anxiety.

"It's like this. My parents cut off my credit card. From now on, I'll have to support myself, so I don't have the money to hire you anymore." Xiang Nan said.

As a domestic worker, Maria helped him clean once a week and was responsible for helping him buy food for a commission of $[-] a month.

The price is not expensive, but it is a luxury for Raj.

Because he is an assistant research professor at the California Institute of Technology, his annual salary is only $[-], and he only gets $[-] after tax, and his total monthly salary is only $[-].

However, his consumption is very high. In addition to daily expenses such as rent, medical insurance, utilities, food, clothing, internet, gas, and phone bills, he also buys comics, games, goes to cooking classes, and participates in comic exhibitions...

Even, he goes to Beverly Hills for a haircut, which costs two hundred dollars at a time.

Thanks to these years, he has the support of his parents, otherwise he would not be able to live such a luxurious life.

And because he has been supported by his parents for a long time, he has always been unable to stand on his own and must be controlled by his parents.

He was also complained by his ex-girlfriends, saying that he was a mother's treasure and a child spoiled by his parents.

Therefore, Xiang Nan decided to change all of this, starting from changing his luxurious life.

……

When Maria heard what Xiang Nan said, she was stunned.

To be honest, serving Xiang Nan is a good thing for her.

Xiang Nan's character is very gentle and not picky. Even if he didn't do his job well, he never blamed himself.

Also, although he is a doctor, he is a bit goofy.

Every time I help him buy vegetables, I report false accounts, and I can earn six or seven hundred dollars a month, but he never sees it.

Employers like this are hard to find.

Unfortunately, this is happening now.

"I know this news has hit you hard, but please believe me, I really can't do anything about it." Xiang Nan said regretfully.

Maria sighed and stood up, "Okay, then settle my wages, I won't come back in the future."

"Well." Xiang Nan nodded, and then settled the wages with Maria.

"Okay, goodbye." After getting the money, Maria said goodbye and left.

"Wait, leave the key." Seeing this, Xiang Nan immediately reminded.

Maria was startled, took out the key from her handbag angrily, and handed it to Xiang Nan.

She originally wanted to keep the key, and sneak in to steal something while Xiang Nan was not at home.

With his stupid personality, he may not be able to find it.

Now, all is in vain.

……

After Maria left, Xiang Nan started cooking while thinking about moving.

The house he rented was also very expensive, even more expensive than the two-bedroom one-bedroom rented by Leonard and Sheldon.

He is going to change to a single room with a lower price, so that he can save a lot of money on monthly expenses.

Just as he was making the last dish of fried dumplings, there was a knock on the door.

Xiang Nan turned off the fire, then walked over to open the door, and saw Penny standing outside the door.

"Hi, welcome!" he greeted with a smile.

"This is where you live, um~" Penny stepped in and looked at the room curiously.

This room is indeed full of exotic, people feel quite novel.

"Yeah, just visit." Xiang Nan smiled, "I still have a dish that I can make right away."

"Okay." Penny nodded and turned around curiously, "Wow, your makeup is more advanced than mine."

"You can use it at will." Xiang Nan smiled.

"Really? Thank you." Penny said happily.Then put away a bottle of liquid foundation, a bottle of BB cream, and a bag of moisturizing mask.

Xiang Nan quickly prepared the dishes, and placed red wine, candles, and napkins on the table.

At the same time, he also took out the IPOD and played Kelly King's famous song "songbird".

"Haney, dinner is ready." Xiang Nan greeted immediately.

"Wow, why is it so grand?" Penny was very surprised to see him make so many preparations.

"Because I want to give you the best." Xiang Nan smiled, then took the initiative to pull out the chair, "Please take a seat."

"Thank you." Penny sat down happily.

She had dated so many boys, and it was the first time she was spoiled like a princess.

"Wow, your hands are really clever." Seeing Xiang Nan folded paper cranes, Penny couldn't help but praised, and then tasted his cooking, "Oh, it's better than a professional chef, what's the trick? Is it?"

"Love, love is the trick." Xiang Nan smiled, "Come on, cheers~"

"Cheers~" Penny also raised her glass with a smile.

After enjoying dinner, Xiang Nan played the love movie "Untouchable Lovers" starring Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves on DVD.

The lingering love affair of the hero and heroine made Penny quite emotional.

When the love is strong, the sky is thunder and the fire is lingering all night.
