save the bachelors

Chapter 48

Xiang Nan then took Peggy to the supermarket, and then bought some ingredients and kitchen utensils.

When it was time to check out, Xiang Nan planned to pay the bill, but Peggy refused.

"You have helped me so much today, and I am especially grateful to you for this meal. If you are responsible for paying the bill, then I would be too insincere." Peggy waved her hand and insisted on paying.

Xiang Nan nodded and then went home with her.

"Sit down for a while, I should finish it soon." Peggy laughed, she was going to fry steak for Xiang Nan.

"OK." Xiang Nan nodded and sat aside.

Seeing Peggy looking up recipes on the Internet on his mobile phone, while marinating steaks according to the recipes, was so busy.

"Have you never cooked before?" Xiang Nan asked curiously upon seeing this.

Peggy shook her head.

Her previous life was very chaotic. She was rotated between different foster families, and each family stayed at most for two or three months. It could be said that she had no fixed place to live.

Because she didn't stay long in any family, and no family liked her, so naturally no one taught her to cook.In fact, she herself still yearns for that kind of warm and sweet family life.

"Well, let me help you." Xiang Nan offered to suggest.

"That won't work. I'm inviting you to dinner today, how can I let you do it?" Peggy immediately refused.

"It's okay, I actually like cooking." Xiang Nan smiled, "You know, I paid for a cooking class."

"Really?!" Peggy exclaimed.

"Really." Xiang Nan nodded, "I want to learn how to cook well, and then I can cook for my beloved girl in the future."

"Wow." Hearing him say that, Peggy sighed.

Most of the boys in the United States are very irresponsible. They say how much they like and love, but the real purpose is just to make themselves happy.As for the girl's feelings, she didn't care at all, let alone what she would do for her.

Xiang Nan can learn to cook for the girl he loves, and this dedication shows his sense of responsibility.

……

Xiang Nan immediately came to the kitchen and helped Peggy cook.

He has specialized in cooking, and as soon as he makes a move, he is much better than the rookie Peggy.

Seeing Xiang Nan skillfully chopping onions, beating steaks, grinding peppers... Peggy couldn't help being surprised.

Just heard Xiang Nan said that he had learned cooking, but she thought he was just talking about it, at most two knives.

But now it seems that Xiang Nan is likely to have reached a professional level, which shows how much hard work he has done in this regard.

Most of the men in the United States are chauvinistic.Therefore, few men take the initiative to cook, let alone learn how to cook.

"Raj, you did a great job," Peggy couldn't help but praise.

"You're welcome." Xiang Nan smiled, "Go and set up the table, the steak should be fried soon."

"Setting the table?! Oh, good." Peggy nodded and began to clear the table.

But she just wiped the table clean, and then put the tableware and red wine on it.

Xiang Nan quickly fried the steak and served it on a plate.

Seeing that the table setting was so simple, he couldn't help but shook his head with a smile, then took out the tissue, and quickly folded the little swan and placed it on the table.

Then he took out his mobile phone and chose a soothing song.As a result, the atmosphere is immediately set off.

Seeing this, Peggy couldn't help but nodded.

"OK, take a sip of wine first, and then try my craft." Xiang Nan opened the red wine and poured it for the two of them.

"Okay." Peggy raised her glass. "Raj, thank you for everything you've done for me."

"You're welcome." Xiang Nan laughed. The two took a sip each, and then began to cut the steak.

"Well, it tastes really good." Peggy took a sip and said in surprise.

"That's natural. I didn't learn cooking for nothing." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"Amazing." Peggy laughed. "To be honest, I haven't had such a good steak in a long time."

"So, when was the last time you had delicious steak?" Xiang Nan asked curiously when he heard it.

When Peggy heard this, her face suddenly darkened.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Seeing this, Xiang Nan quickly changed his words.

"It's alright." Peggy waved his hand. "The last time I had a delicious steak, Grandma Maria made it for me. It has been four years now."

"Is she still alive now?" Xiang Nan asked curiously.

"No, she passed away four years ago." Peggy shook her head and said, Xiang Nan noticed that her eyes were red.

"I'm sorry, please express my condolences." Xiang Nan hurriedly handed over the tissue.

"Thank you." Peggy nodded.

……

Xiang Nan didn't dare to ask any more questions when he saw the sadness of others, so he talked about his own affairs.

When did I go to study in the UK from India, how did I get my doctorate and then I came to the US, and how did I stay in the US for four years...

Seeing that he also left home at a very young age, Peggy couldn't help but feel a sense of intimacy.

With the deepening of the conversation between the two and the intake of alcohol, Peggy finally opened the chat box and began to talk about his foster life.

When she was 11 years old, she was abandoned by her mother because her studies had plummeted and she was infected with petty theft, lying and cheating.

She wanted to find her father, but her father had already formed a new family and did not welcome her, so she could only roam the streets and live a life without food.

After that, someone from the Child Welfare Department found her and helped her arrange a foster home.But she was still giving up on herself at the time, and the foster family couldn't discipline her, so they abandoned her one after another.

There are also male masters of some families who wanted to be rude to her when they saw that she was beautiful and cute.This kind of thing also made her wary of men from now on.

The more enthusiastic the man was for her, the more fearful she felt in her heart, which was why she refused to give her a thousand miles when Howard galvanized her.

Until she was 19 years old, she met Grandma Maria.It was a kind-hearted old man who was also her landlord.Seeing her alone, he often called her to eat together.

Over time, the relationship between the two deepened.Her cold heart also melted, and she mustered up the idea of ​​​​refreshing.After that, she went back to school, re-entered university, and completed her undergraduate and master's degree through work-study.

Peggy said more and more sad, and finally burst into tears.

"Don't cry, the past has passed. You still have a better future, so try to look forward." Seeing this, Xiang Nan walked over and comforted.

Hearing what he said, Peggy cried even more sadly, leaning on Xiang Nan, and after a while, he wet his hem.

"Okay, okay, it's okay, it's all over." Xiang Nan comforted repeatedly.

I don't know how long it took, and the sound gradually disappeared.

Xiang Nan looked down suspiciously, and saw that Peggy had fallen asleep at some point.

Seeing this, Xiang Nan couldn't help laughing, then gently picked up Peggy, took her to the bedroom, helped her take off her shoes, covered her with the quilt, and then quietly slipped out of the bedroom and went downstairs to go home.
