Chapter 141 Let''s Eat Hotpot Together


    Ceres did not refuse.


    Perhaps for them, the present intimacy was necessary.


    But at this time, Johny suddenly stopped.


    Ceres did not know what had happened, but she still closed her eyes tightly.


    Johny looked at Ceres in his arms withplicated thoughts. A voice in his mind constantly reminded


    him.


    ''You can''t do this. You can''t do this.''


    Ceres felt that he hadn''t done anything for a long time. Only then did she open her eyes. She saw


    Johny staring at her in a daze. "What''s wrong?"


    Johny came to himself and rubbed Ceres''s cheek gently.


    "I am tired today," said he in a low and tired voice.


    "Then let''s sleep," Ceres said, feeling a little embarrassed.


    "Alright."


    Ceres was still hooking her arms around Johny''s neck. She could not bear to let go of him. Their


    rtionship these days had indeed made her feel uneasy.


    "If you are not busy tomorrow,e back early."


    "Why?" Johny was surprised to receive Ceres'' invitation.


    "Nothing. Bill always texts me recently saying that he wants to eat the dishes I cook. I can''t always


    refuse, can I? It''s the weekend tomorrow. Let''s invite him to dinner at home."


    Ceres tried hard to make her voice sound fine.


    "Alright." Johny agreed without even thinking.


    Ceres had always been independent and had hardly made any requests to him, not to mention that she


    was doing it for his friend, so he had no reason to refuse.


    "Then let''s eat hotpot tomorrow. I haven''t eaten hotpot for a long time!" Ceres immediately became


    excited when Johny agreed.


    Johny nodded. "It''s up to you."


    Ceres moved closer to Johny and kissed him. "Good night."


    "Good night."


    Ceres fell asleep again with a satisfied smile. She believed that Johny would solve all the problems.


    She believed him.

    But Johny was unable to fall asleep for a long time.


    ''Why is it like this? Why do things develop like this? ''


    God had really given him a big problem.


    The next day, Ceres slept until she woke up naturally. Out of habit, she touched the side of the bed


    where Johny had slept. It was cold. Johny had already left. Shey on the bed for a while and got up


    after sending a message to Bill.


    In the morning, Ceres began to prepare the shrimp puree, handmade beef balls, and other things that


    were needed to make hotpot in the evening.


    "I say, Ceres, you''re a bit too mean, aren''t you? You saidst time that if I helped you get the


    registration form, you would treat me to delicious food. In the end, you just treat me with the perfunctory


    hotpot. It''s toomon." Billined after arriving at Ceres'' house.


    "Hey man, hotpot is hard to make, ok? I''ve been making shrimp puree, beef balls, and fish tofu since


    this morning. I''ve got blisters on my hands for making beef balls." Ceres said with her hands on her


    hips.


    Ceres raised her hand and showed them to Bill.


    Bill shouted in amazement. "What the hell! Do you have to do this yourself?"


    "Of course, or we can go out to eat hotpot. I made hotpot condiments myself. I even cut the meat and


    marinate it. Today, you''re so lucky to taste the magic beef I personally marinated."


    Bill almost drooled when he heard this. He had thought that cooking hotpot was quite easy and it''s


    about slicing the meat and washing vegetables. He didn''t expect it to be soborious.


    "Alright. Ceres, thanks for your hard work. By the way, I can provide some fresh vegetables! Follow


    me!"


    Bill waved his hand and brought Ceres to his house. Bill''s vi was just behind Johny and Ceres'' vi. It


    was the first time that Ceres knew that Bill lived so close.


    "You live here?" Ceres turned around and looked at her own vi. She could almost see what was


    going on in the room with the lights on.


    "And that is Bob''s!" Bill pointed to the vi next to him.


    Ceres was surprised. She did not expect that men liked to be in a bunch. They even bought their


    houses in the same neighborhood.


    What surprised Ceres further was that there''s even a greenhouse in Bill''s vi, and he did not grow


    flowers, but vegetables in it!


    "Hey, man. Why are you growing so many vegetables here?" Ceres looked at the fresh vegetables in


    excitement.


    A person who loved to cook would have more desire to cook while seeing such fresh vegetables!


    "Can''t I have a hobby? I have been making painstaking efforts to cultivate all these vegetables. My


    dear Ceres, from today on, I will give you all these vegetables! You can take any you want!" Bill patted


    his chest proudly.


    Bill looked at the vegetables that he had cultivated. Under the light, they exuded the unique luster of


    vegetables.


    "Sweeties, I will eat you today. You have to know that as vegetables, your most honorable task is to be


    eaten! So your sacrifice is very worthwhile. I will remember you all, indeed!"


    Ceres looked at Bill and felt as if she had seen a monster!


    At Eagle Group


    Johny sat there until it was almost dark. In fact, there was nothing much to do in thepany today.


    He had been in the research and development room and study thetest progress. Ceres had been


    working very hard recently. She hade up with a lot of ideas and her colleagues had all praised her.


    He promised Ceres that he would go back early today, but every time he thought of her father killing his


    mother, his heart ached badly. He knew that this had nothing to do with Ceres, but when he thought of


    this, he did not know how to face Ceres and how to solve this problem.


    ''Isn''t this too ridiculous?'' he thought helplessly.


    His mother had passed away for so many years and he had been investigating the murderer. However,


    there was no clue at all these years. But after he met Ceres, he suddenly found out that the murderer


    was Ceres''s father!


    Johny didn''t believe it, but the evidence was conclusive.


    The phone on the table suddenly rang, pulling his thoughts back.


    He woodenly picked up the phone, "Hello."


    "Oh, Mr. Johny, so you are in thepany. There is a Sally who wants to see you. She said that she


    has something important to tell you."


    "Refuse her." Johny didn''t want to see other unknown people at the moment.


    Johny stood up and looked at the time. He had to go back to apany Ceres for dinner. He changed


    his clothes and went downstairs. A woman suddenly rushed over, "Johny! I really have something


    important to tell you!"


    Johny nced at her in disdain and signaled to the security guards. The security guards immediately


    came over and stopped Sally.


    "Johny, it''s really important. It''s about Ceres''s father!"
