Qin Suisui was fair-faced with rosy cheeks and a graceful figure, but it was a pity she had quite a mouth on her.
When the storm came and the Qin family was about to be purged as capitalists,...
Chapter 245 Woman, you've fallen in love.
"Have you figured out the proportions of the formula?" Qin Suisui couldn't help but ask as she saw her carrying a pile of medicinal herbs.
"Oh, Sui Sui! This is a major life event for her, and all you can see are these pills!" Jia Zhenzhen put down the herbs, ran over, and hugged her arm, shaking it.
It has to be said that once Jia Zhenzhen falls in love, her personality becomes completely different from her usual self.
Qin Suisui touched her nose: "Sorry, it's a habit." When it comes to her major and things she likes, Qin Suisui is habitually serious.
But she knew that Jia Zhenzhen must have something to say to her, and she wasn't usually the type to be playful.
"Tell me, what were you thinking about all night?" She came over so early in the morning, and thinking of her shy appearance last night, Qin Suisui could easily guess that this little girl probably tossed and turned for half the night!
In fact, Jia Zhenzhen barely slept all night. Just thinking about how such a good man as Chen Zheng had actually had feelings for Xue Jiao before made her extremely uncomfortable!
Although Chen Zheng had already laid it all out with her yesterday, he had often come into contact with Xue Jiao because he frequently helped Xue Shan when he was Xue Shan's bodyguard.
Xue Jiao was spoiled by Xue Shan. At that time, she seemed straightforward and sincere. Because she had a lot of contact with Chen Zheng, she often asked Chen Zheng to do chores for her.
People like them, who spend all their time among men and haven't seen many women, are naturally attracted to young men like Xue Jiao, who are beautiful and often interact with them.
In addition, Xue Shan was interested in bringing him and Xue Jiao together, so Chen Zheng naturally became more interested in her.
Until last year, after Qin Suisui came to Qiongtan Island and married Pei Jiuyan, Xue Jiao lost control of her jealousy and did many outrageous things.
This made Chen Zheng realize that Xue Jiao didn't have feelings for him. Moreover, through her words and actions, he also realized that perhaps Xue Jiao wasn't as wonderful as he had imagined.
In addition, he had made a meritorious contribution and was directly promoted, no longer working under Xue Shan, thus distancing himself from Xue Jiao and giving up his feelings for her.
But since some people knew about their affair, Chen Zheng was afraid that some of the words would get into Jia Zhenzhen's ears and become distorted, so he simply told her himself.
Qin Suisui thought that Chen Zheng did the right thing. He didn't deny his past and didn't mind revealing it. He was a real man.
"Did you tell him about how you used to pursue my senior brother?" Qin Suisui asked jokingly.
“No need to say anything, he already knows. He even said that since we both have some unpleasant pasts, we're even. If we establish a relationship, neither of us will have to bring up the past.”
Qin Suisui chuckled. How could this be considered "even"?
After chatting with Qin Suisui for a while, Jia Zhenzhen's mood finally improved a lot. Qin Suisui was right; everyone has a past. Didn't she have one too? Why bother about his past?
Moreover, after Qin Suisui's reminder, she vaguely felt that perhaps she didn't mind, but rather felt jealous—jealous that Xue Jiao had once entered his heart.
Thinking of this, Jia Zhenzhen's heart raced and her face flushed, a feeling she had never had before with Paman.
Qin Suisui chuckled at Jia Zhenzhen's little expression. As someone who had been through similar experiences herself, she knew exactly what Jia Zhenzhen was thinking. But Jia Zhenzhen really had a good personality; she could take things in stride and let them go easily, and she could also be very honest with the people she liked.
The two of them kneaded the pills for a while longer. Qin Suisui helped Jia Zhenzhen adjust the formula ratio several times, and Jia Zhenzhen's Wuji Baifeng Wan finally made progress.
As noon approached, Jia Zhenzhen's stomach began to rumble. She was strong and had a big appetite, so she got hungry quickly. Feeling a little embarrassed, she hurriedly packed up the medicinal herbs and said, "Sui Sui, I'm going back to have lunch. I'll come back and make pills with you after I eat. You can keep these for now." With that, she turned to leave.
It's already this late, how could Qin Suisui really let her go back?
"Don't go, stay at my house and have dinner with me. I soaked some cured pork and sausage this morning, and I'm planning to have sausage rice and bracken stir-fried with cured pork for lunch. Don't you like those dishes?"
Upon hearing this, Jia Zhenzhen immediately stopped herself from taking a step forward: "Hehehe, then I won't be polite! I'll help out!"
Since it was just the two of them eating, Qin Suisui went to the vegetable garden and picked two bitter melons, planning to make a stir-fried bitter melon with eggs.
"Zhenzhen, I brought back some seafood from the beach the day before yesterday. It's being kept in that bucket. See if there's anything you want to eat, and we can cook it together."
Upon hearing this, Jia Zhenzhen didn't hesitate and went straight to the large bucket in the kitchen. When she saw the crabs in the bucket, her eyes lit up: "Sui Sui, let's have chili crab for lunch! Chen Zheng and I ordered this dish on our blind date yesterday. He said it's a dish from his hometown!"
Qin Suisui raised an eyebrow. Chili crab is a specialty dish of Sichuan Province. Is Chen Zheng from Sichuan Province?
Remembering what Sister-in-law Tang had told her before, that most men in Sichuan Province can cook, she subconsciously asked, "Can Chen Zheng cook?"
For some reason, Jia Zhenzhen suddenly blushed when she said something that was very ordinary.
“He can cook. He also said that if we get married, he will cook for us at home as long as he is not on a mission.”
"Tsk tsk." Qin Suisui shook her head and looked at her: "Woman, you've fallen in love."
Just seeing a crab makes them think of each other and even blush – isn't that falling in love? But Chen Zheng is good in this respect; he knows how to cherish his wife. Are all men in their army like this?
Qin Suisui also loves to eat crabs, so she learned how to make chili crab from Sister-in-law Tang.
Thinking that she had cooked a lot of food today, and considering that Pei Jiuyan had specifically told her last night that he had a lot of work to do and wouldn't be able to come back for lunch, Qin Suisui decided to cook a little extra and send some to him.
Upon hearing that Qin Suisui was going to deliver food, Jia Zhenzhen immediately raised her hands, wishing she could lift her feet as well: "I'll go too! I'll escort you!"
Qin Suisui rolled her eyes at her. What escort? She was clearly using the guise of escorting someone to go see someone, wasn't she?
Qin Suisui didn't expose her. After the meal was ready, the two of them finished eating, packed up the food they had saved for Pei Jiuyan, and rode their bicycles toward the office building.
Qin Suisui had delivered meals several times, and had already timed Pei Jiuyan and the others' work hours perfectly. She arrived just as their break time was ending, and the crowd at the main entrance had dispersed, just as Pei Jiuyan stepped out of his office.
Upon seeing her approaching from afar, Pei Jiuyan quickly went to greet her and took the lunchbox from her hand: "Wife, didn't I say I would just eat at the cafeteria? Why did you bring it over?"
Unable to bear his cloying manner, Jia Zhenzhen squinted and mimicked his words, "Oh, oh, oh, wife, why did you send this over?"
Pei Jiuyan's gaze fell lightly on her, then he waved to a tall man walking over from a distance: "Chen Zheng, come here, someone is looking for you."
