Unconsciously, she won his heart with her culinary skills, and their bond was forged through food.
Overall Introduction:
Xu Lai had worked at a company for three years. Her boyfriend ha...
It's a bit late, but the ramen shop is still open. Sometimes, employees who work overtime will come here for a meal before going home.
Zhao Qingyun pushed open the door, ordered two bowls of tonkotsu ramen at the counter, and then led Xu Lai to sit down by the window.
Some employees recognized him and looked in their direction. Xu Lai noticed and quietly went over to Zhao Qingyun and said, "See? Someone is watching us."
Zhao Qingyun looked around, and everyone turned their heads back, pretending nothing had happened.
Actually, the colleagues in the group chat have been talking about it like crazy.
"I ran into my boss while I was working overtime today."
"Where? Where?"
"What else could it be? There's a ramen shop downstairs from the company, and there's a girl there too. She must be his girlfriend."
"What?! The future boss's wife is here too, oh my god."
"Do you have any photos? I'd like to see them."
A colleague secretly took a picture and posted it in the group chat. He was facing Zhao Qingyun directly, so he didn't capture Xu Lai's face clearly.
The noodles were ready, and the waiter brought them over. Zhao Qingyun took a pair of chopsticks, wiped them clean with a tissue, and handed them to her.
The two quickly finished their noodles and got up to leave. While they were eating, someone kept watching them. When Zhao Qingyun passed by, he glanced at the person, which startled him so much that he stood up and greeted, "Hello, Chairman Zhao."
Everyone in the shop was laughing, and Zhao Qingyun looked helpless. He waved and said, "Keep eating. Don't be so reserved after get off work."
When the two returned home, it was already very late. Their grandparents were still waiting and hadn't gone to sleep. When they saw them come back, they came out to greet them, looking exhausted.
Xu Lai said with concern, "You two old folks are tired, so go to sleep first. Don't wait for us."
Grandma held her hand and asked Zhao Qingyun, "Is your maternal grandmother alright?"
Zhao Qingyun comforted her, "It's alright, Grandma, don't worry, you're out of danger."
Grandma nodded: "That's good, that's good. It was really unexpected."
Xu Lai said a few words and went upstairs to wash up. Zhao Qingyun also returned to his room. He didn't go over there tonight. Firstly, Xu Lai was tired, and secondly, he was feeling a bit down and didn't want to disturb her sleep.
As the night passed, Xu Lai didn't sleep very well, and Zhao Qingyun barely slept at all; both of them looked exhausted.
Grandma wanted to slaughter a chicken and stew it so they could take it to the hospital, but Xu Lai stopped her, saying, "She's just out of danger and hasn't recovered yet. She probably can't drink such nourishing food. Let's wait until Grandma Jiang comes back."
Grandma agreed, so she released the chicken. The chicken, now free, clucked and ran away.
After they finished breakfast, they went to the hospital. Grandma Jiang had already woken up, and Ms. Yingqiu was feeding her porridge.
Seeing them arrive, she smiled and said, "You're here."
Zhao Qingyun walked over and sat down, asking, "Grandma, are you feeling better?"
Grandma Jiang chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, I'm sorry to have worried you. It's my fault, old woman."
Xu Lai immediately said, "Grandma, what are you saying? As long as you are healthy, everything is fine."
Zhao Qingyun had to go to work, so she left early. Xu Lai also wanted to leave, but Ms. Yingqiu asked her to stay and sit for a while, and she felt embarrassed to refuse, so she stayed.
Not wanting to sit idly, she unpacked the fruit basket, washed some fruit, and rolled up her sleeves. When Ms. Yingqiu saw the bracelet on her wrist, she smiled knowingly. It seemed that the young man had successfully given the bracelet away.
