Chapter 59 Chapter 59 How Tempting You Are

The next day, the sun was warm and the snow on the road was already showing signs of melting. A few birds chirped in the trees, and the house was completely quiet. When Zhao Qingshi and Ruan Xiangyi went downstairs, the others were still asleep.

The two slipped out the door, wearing down jackets of the same color. Ruan Xiangyi wore a pink knitted hat. They randomly found a store that was still open and ordered two bowls of beef noodles.

I had wanted to take Xiangyi to try the sweet bean curd that he often ate when he was a child, but I didn't expect that the New Year had already passed. After searching for a long time, I found that only this store was open.

The restaurant isn't big, with room for about ten tables. The owner keeps the tables spotlessly clean, and the condiment jars neatly arranged. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, quite a few young people were out for breakfast.

Soon, three tables of people were seated in the restaurant. The owner arrived with two bowls of noodles. Seeing no chili peppers on the table, Ruan Xiangyi asked the owner if he had chili sauce. The owner fetched a fresh can. She thanked him and added two tablespoons to her own bowl.

The boss's brow twitched, and he couldn't help but say, "Girl, my chili is spicier than usual."

Ruan Xiangyi sniffed it, and the aroma of the chili cleared her mind considerably. "Boss, did you make this chili yourself? It smells so good."

The boss said: "Of course, this chili sauce is my family's secret recipe, you can't taste it in other places."

Ruan Xiangyi blew on the noodles, took a bite, and found it tasted quite good.

Seeing this, the boss could only admire her ability to eat spicy food.

In comparison, Zhao Qingshi's bowl of soup was just watery and colorless. He couldn't help but sigh, "Really not spicy?"

Ruan Xiangyi shook her head: "It's okay, I just want to eat spicy food."

Zhao Qingshi stood up and grabbed a bottle of soy milk. He unscrewed it and placed it in front of him, then stirred the noodles with chopsticks. He rarely ate noodles, but after two bites, he found them surprisingly delicious. Perhaps it was because he was hungry, but his appetite had worked up a great deal. After a few minutes, he had almost finished the bowl.

Ruan Xiangyi ate slowly, looking at his phone while eating. He felt that the food was not tasty enough, so he added another spoonful of chili pepper. Zhao Qingshi frowned when he saw this, but he didn't believe it, so he took a bite and was almost killed by the spiciness.

I drank a whole bottle of water but it didn't help. The spiciness made my forehead sweat a lot.

Ruan Xiangyi wiped the sweat off his face and seemed confused: "Is it really that spicy?"

Zhao Qingshi's eyes were red from the spicy food, and he looked up suspiciously: "Xiangyi, is there something wrong with your sense of taste?"

"No, I really feel fine."

There may be another reason.

"Do you believe in the saying 'sour boy, spicy girl'?"

"Um?"

"I don't think I've asked you yet, do you like boys or girls?"

"Does it make any difference? As long as it's your child, whether it's a boy or a girl, I like them all."

"You're so sweet! I'll give you a bowl of beef noodles as a reward."

"Thank you, I have."

Ruan Xiangyi laughed out loud, it turned out that he was afraid of spicy food.

After the meal, Ruan Xiangyi casually said that his chili sauce was really good. When paying the bill, Zhao Qingshi went to the boss to buy two cans. The boss packed them in the kitchen and gave them to him. He even found the bottles himself.

The boss told him: "I promise it's clean and delicious, come back next time."

Zhao Qingshi thanked him and walked out of the store carrying a bag of chili sauce. Ruan Xiangyi was waiting for him at the door. Seeing what he was carrying, she was a little surprised: "Did you buy this from the boss?"

"Don't you think it's delicious?" he said casually.

"I was just saying it casually," she murmured softly. She had never expected that someone would care so much about what she said.

"Every word you say is important." He held her fingers tightly. The road was slippery due to the snow, so it was more stable for them to walk in sync.

Ruan Xiangyi said "oh", she didn't expect his hearing was so good, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

When we returned to the villa, grandma was already up. She had nothing to do, so she covered her legs with a blanket, put on her reading glasses, and played a game on her tablet that was specifically designed to prevent Alzheimer's disease. She was enjoying the game very much, and her three grandchildren sat beside her to study with her.

"If I can't pass the game, it's because I'm old. If you can't pass the game, are you also old?" Grandma was teasing the children again.

There was a lot of arguing and protesting in her ears, which gave her a headache. She put away the tablet and saw that they woke up so early and came back from outside, so she thought they had been out all night.

Zhao Qingshi explained that they were just going out for breakfast.

"Grandma, have you eaten?" Xiangyi asked.

"have eaten."

"Are my mom and the others up yet?"

"No, I don't know how long we played last night." He immediately revealed his loving care: "Xiangyi, why did you get up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?

Ruan Xiangyi's eyes curved as she called out "Grandma," "What game are you playing?"

Grandma's heart melted when she heard this: "These are just some little games. Have you eaten enough outside? If not, I'll go to the kitchen and heat it up for you guys."

After saying that, she was about to get up, but Zhao Qingshi quickly said, "Grandma, please stop struggling. We're done eating."

"That's good." Grandma sat back down. "There's a park nearby. Why don't you go for a walk and come back with Xiangyi to familiarize herself with the surroundings. It will be easier for you to find your way here next time."

The following paragraph was just a joke on her.

Zhao Qingshi: "Grandma, Xiangyi is so smart, how could she not find the way?"

"Grandma, you may not know that Xiangyi almost won all my uncle and aunt's money last night." Zhao Qingshi laughed teasingly.

Ruan Xiangyi realized something was wrong and warned him with her eyes, but he pretended not to see.

Grandma was surprised. She didn't expect her to have such good card skills. She laughed heartily and said, "I was just overthinking it."

Ruan Xiangyi blushed: "Grandma, why are you laughing at me with him?"

My little cousin asked, "Sister-in-law, how many months is the baby in your belly?"

Ruan Xiangyi: "More than four months."

More than four months...

Grandma thought for half a minute. They had been married for less than four months, so didn't that mean...

She looked at the brat beside her.

Zhao Qingshi knew what she wanted to say at a glance. He turned away her gaze unnaturally, stood up and said, "Grandma, I'll take her upstairs to rest first. She got up too early this morning and didn't sleep well."

If it weren't for Ruan Xiangyi's sake, the cane would have fallen on him long ago.

I stayed at my grandmother's house until the fourth day of the Lunar New Year before returning to Mission Hills Villa. Cake was brought here before the New Year. Neighbors came to take care of me these days. As soon as he entered the door, Cake called out to Ruan Xiangyi.

There are a few days every year when it thinks she doesn't want it anymore. When it was still at Ruan's house, she couldn't take it back, so she kept it at her classmate's house for those few days.

Ruan Xiangyi picked it up and apologized to it. In the past two months, it had gained a lot of weight, probably more than ten pounds. In addition, it had long and fluffy fur, so Zhao Qingshi used to call it the fat cat.

Cake meowed a few times and jumped off her because she saw Zhou Xunyin looking for snacks for it.

Ruan Xiangyi: "..."

I have never seen such a greedy cat.

After the annual leave, Ruan Xiangyi's internship also ended. After the last day of work, Jiang Junlin talked to her for a few words.

"Xiangyi, since you've made up your mind, I won't try to keep you. But if you want to come back in the future, you're always welcome."

"Thank you, Jiang Bo." She still remembered that he had meant that if she left, she should not even think about coming back. He said that now because of her relationship with Zhao Qingshi, but she no longer cared about it.

"Jiang Bo, thank you for taking care of me these past few months. I've learned a lot from Brother Zilang." Ruan Xiangyi placed a gift on his desk. "I wish you success in your career and good health."

After Ruan Xiangyi left, Jiang Bo opened the box and took a look. It was a set of fine tea sets. He stared at the door thoughtfully.

Ruan Xiangyi gave small gifts to all her colleagues in the department, including those who had previously spoken ill of her. After handing over her work items, she left work as usual with her colleagues. After getting off the elevator, she waved goodbye to them and walked towards a black Maybach.

A colleague paused, staring at it for a moment, then said, "I've seen this car pick her up before, and I thought she was being kept by someone. What a sin."

"I quite like this girl. She's simple-minded, works hard, and doesn't act like a rich lady at all. She's much better than that Jiang Ruzhi."

"Stop talking. We can't afford to offend even one or two of them."

"Let's go, we're going to miss the subway."

I don't know how many times I've received flowers from Zhao Qingshi. This time, it was a bouquet of tulips, pink like peaches in spring. She loved it. She thought of the last time she received a bouquet of giant roses in Hong Kong. She later learned that the bouquet was worth 70,000 yuan. Unfortunately, she couldn't take it away the next day and had to give it away to passersby.

Ruan Xiangyi took a selfie holding the flowers. She found a beautiful photo and changed it to her social media profile picture. After a few minutes, she felt a little narcissistic and changed it back.

But I posted the photo on WeChat Moments without any caption.

Chen Tingwan was the first to comment below: This bouquet of flowers is not bad. It seems that Boss Zhao’s taste has not deteriorated to his age.

Chen Tingwan: Give him a gift.

Ruan Xiangyi clicked on the picture she posted in the comment section, and it turned out to be a photo of her trying on wedding dresses in Hong Kong.

Shen Tingwan sent her a private message with a screenshot of the chat: Your husband is going crazy!

Ruan Xiangyi clicked on it and saw Zhao Qingshi's profile picture and asked her every now and then: photo.

Those who didn't know would think it was a debt. Shen Tingwan was completely impressed.

Ruan Xiangyi glanced at the man who was driving. His facial lines were cold and smooth, his nose was high, and his Adam's apple was prominent. His superior appearance made him look like a character in an anime. His lips were curled and he looked forward, looking like he was in a good mood.

How could someone almost thirty do something so childish? It's just a photo.

Ruan Xiangyi was being naughty: He hasn’t seen it yet, so I’ll delete my circle of friends right now.

Chen Tingwan sent six points: It’s a good match, bad company breeds bad behavior, don’t learn bad things from him!

Ruan Xiangyi laughed out loud while holding the phone.

Zhao Qingshi looked over with a puzzled look on his face: "What are you talking about? You're laughing so happily."

Ruan Xiangyi said, "I heard Wan said he met a very funny person."

Zhao Qingshi: "Is she funny?"

Ruan Xiangyi nodded: "Yes."

Zhao Qingshi: "That's really interesting."

Ruan Xiang suppressed his laughter.

After sending her home, Zhao Qingshi said he had to go back to the company for a meeting. Ruan Xiangyi nodded, opened the door and got out of the car.

Before the car started, she knocked on the driver's door and lowered the window: "What's wrong?"

Ruan Xiangyi opened the door on his side and leaned in: "I left something behind, please look for it."

"Xiangyi, how could your things be left here with me?" Although he said so, he still raised his hands obediently and let her find them.

Ruan Xiangyi leaned over to look for him, her hands resting on his legs. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, her nails gently scratched the fabric of his suit pants. Zhao Qingshi's breathing became heavy and he turned his head away to breathe.

"Xiangyi, have you found it?"

"No."

"Then hurry up."

Ruan Xiangyi propped up his legs and stood up. She suddenly held his face with both hands and chuckled, "I found it."

Zhao Qingshi: “?”

Then, Ruan Xiangyi kissed him on the lips: "Come back soon."

My scalp tingled, and all the blood in my body rushed to one place. The instigator kissed me and ran away. The air seemed to still have the scent of her perfume. The man tugged at his tie.

Ruan Xiangyi came back and changed into a nightgown with wide straps that reached her ankles. After blow-drying her hair, she came out of the bathroom and was about to do a facial mask when she suddenly heard a few hurried footsteps coming from the door. The next second, the door was pushed open and Zhao Qingshi came in with his tie pulled on.

His face doesn't look good.

Ruan Xiangyi instinctively wanted to dodge, but he grabbed her and dragged her into the bathroom, pushing her against the sink. The bathroom was filled with steam, and the atmosphere suddenly became hot, sticky, and ambiguous.

Ruan Xiangyi was a little scared: "Didn't you say you were going to the company? Why are you back?"

Zhao Qingshi grabbed her hand and told her bluntly: "You made me hard, how can I go?"

He had originally planned to let her go, but halfway through the drive, he couldn't calm down anymore. Thinking about how arrogantly she had just provoked him, whoever did it should be responsible.

"Then your meeting..." She didn't finish her words, the rest of the words being blocked by him. He placed his hand on the back of her head, pressing her tightly against him with his upper body, his lips opening and closing as if he wanted to swallow her whole. After a while, she began to breathe rapidly, and he let her go for a moment. "Why don't you breathe?"

Ruan Xiangyi's eyes became moist, and everything became moist. Just as she was about to speak, he bit her again.

Her clothes were lifted up, and Ruan Xiangyi was lying on the cold countertop, feeling a little icy. Zhao Qingshi considerately laid a bath towel for her. Ruan Xiangyi watched his movements, and she knew that he was adding some of her favorite ingredients to her dinner so that she could enjoy it slowly later. He was the leader of the pack.

He kissed the tip of her ear, listened to her moan, and carefully helped her hold her belly. "Sometimes I still have some sense and I have to be a little respectful to pregnant women."

Ruan Xiangyi raised her head, bit her fingertips, and listened to him continue to say those dirty words.

"But I can't help myself once I touch you, baby. You may not even realize how attractive you are."

After they were done, Ruan Xiangyi had only one thought: don't mess with him easily. She changed into a new pair of pajamas, a pair of separate pajamas and pants. Zhao Qingshi came out of the shower and saw her looking at him warily, which was a bit funny. Who is he guarding against? Why is he so nervous?

"You're not sleeping yet. Didn't you just say you were tired?"

Ruan Xiangyi said stubbornly: "I'm recovered."

The man chuckled: "Xiangyi, are you saying that I'm not working hard enough?"

Ruan Xiangyi immediately lay down with her back to him: "I'm going to sleep."

Zhao Qingshi raised his eyebrows.
