Chapter 896: Do you still want to thank her for not killing you?

After learning about the relationship between Si Kouting and Lu Yuanqing, I was worried all afternoon.

As soon as Fang Dongmei got off work, I also finished work and left.

When I got home, Xiao Shiqiu hadn't come back yet.

I decided to be virtuous and opened the refrigerator to see if there were any ingredients I could make dinner.

I found that there were a lot of delicious things in the refrigerator, including Godiva chocolate, LADY M mille-feuille cake, handmade sugar-free cheese, blueberries, durian... almost all of them are what I like, but there are not many that can be used as ingredients.

I searched for a long time, but the only things I could find for dinner were a few packs of Nongshim Shin Ramyun and Wanchai Ferry frozen dumplings in the corner.

Finally I decided to make my best dinner - instant noodles with eggs!

He opened two packets of instant noodles, added two soft-boiled eggs, and found a Thuringian sausage. He carefully cut a few nice slices and arranged them carefully around the eggs.

After admiring my masterpiece, I felt that it looked a bit simple and not worthy of my large bone china bowl.

After thinking about it, I took out the caviar I bought on Pinduoduo last time, scooped a dollop with a small spoon and decorated it in the middle. This time it was right, and the style immediately improved.

I had just put the food on the table when Xiao Shiqiu came back. Seeing the two large bowls of noodles on the table, he smiled in surprise and said, "Oh, it's rare. Designer Xia is cooking today."

I raised my chin proudly and said, "Come and try my cooking! I worked so hard to make dinner, you have to finish it."

"Of course, of course. As long as the poison isn't fatal, I promise to eat it all." He smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed.

As soon as he took a bite of noodles, I asked impatiently, "How does it taste?"

After swallowing it, he exclaimed sincerely, "My wife is so ingenious! The noodles she makes are even better than the ones I make myself!"

Lest I believe him, he added, "Seriously, this is the most extravagantly presented instant noodles I've ever had!"

He should be praising me, but it seems not to be praising me.

Fortunately, I don’t care much about this. After all, I have something more important to tell him today.

"I have to tell you something very serious today!" I told him everything I heard in the afternoon in great seriousness.

Xiao Shiqiu listened very carefully and looked at me with focused and affectionate eyes.

The way this man stared at me looked so sexy that it affected my train of thought. I felt so dry-mouthed that I could hardly continue speaking.

After finally explaining the situation clearly, I reminded him, "You have to be careful of Si Kouting. Although it's not 100% certain, based on what Xiao Xu said, it's almost certain."

He nodded and said, "Well, I have asked someone to notify the marketing department staff to go for a physical examination. Su Yi will leave a biological sample for me when the time comes."

I stared at him with wide eyes, "You already know?"

"Yes, Lao Wen called me and told me on my way back." He spoke slowly.

I was a little annoyed, "Why didn't you say it? You made me talk for so long."

The corners of his lips curled up, revealing a charming smile. "I like to hear you say it. The same thing sounds much more interesting when it comes from your mouth."

I:"……"

If his behavior happened to someone else, I would definitely think that person was bewitched.

Since this is what he said to me, I felt numb inside because of him.

There's nothing I can do. Women just like sweet words. Even though my reason tells me that what they say sounds a bit outrageous, I still can't control my excitement.

I almost couldn't hold back the tears, but I didn't forget the main thing. "You checked Si Kou Ting before, didn't you find anything?"

He pursed his lips and wiped his mouth with a tissue. "I did know back then that one of the kidnappers had two children, but I didn't know they were twins, let alone twins, a boy and a girl."

His eyelids drooped slightly, and his voice was a little low. "At that time, I was immersed in the grief of my cousin's death and had no time to care about these things. Besides..."

He slowly raised his head and said, "The kidnapper is dead, and I won't vent my anger on his family."

I was silent for a moment. "Now I wonder if Si Kou Ting is becoming your assistant just to get revenge on you."

Xiao Shiqiu suddenly chuckled, "In fact, if she wanted revenge, I might have died many times in the past three years. After all, if she wanted to take action, she would have too many opportunities.

Not to mention anything else, just when making tea for me, how many times has she randomly put some poison in the water, or simply pushed me down the stairs when she saw I wasn't paying attention?

I have no way to defend myself.”

He spoke very easily, as if he was talking about someone else's business.

I was so angry that I kicked him under the table, "Do you still want to thank her for not killing you?"

He laughed heartily, not caring at all. "Now that you mention it, it's true."

I lost my temper because of his laughter. I pouted and looked at him awkwardly, "I think Si Kou Ting might like you, so it's more likely that she wants to kill me."

A mischievous smile flashed in his eyes: "Are you jealous?"

I rolled my eyes and ignored him. He stretched half of his long legs under the table and rubbed them against my smooth calves.

I have the illusion that I am being flattered by the dog.

"Ever since middle school, there have been women who have had feelings for me. If I were to pay attention to every one of them, it would really take too much energy.

So I just ignore everything. Be confident. At least I've lived for thirty-eight years, and you're the only one I want to marry."

I still felt a little awkward, "You knew she had other feelings for you, but you still kept her around as an assistant."

"Because she's truly outstanding." He poured a glass of whiskey. "She graduated from the law school of University B."

I was a little surprised and said hurriedly, "Why would she come to be your assistant instead of taking the civil service exam, postgraduate entrance exam, or lawyer exam? She must have ulterior motives!"

Seeing me like this, Xiao Shiqiu couldn't help but smile, "I asked her the same question back then, and she told me she was an orphan and was adopted by her current parents when she was fifteen."

I didn't expect that Si Kouting had told Xiao Shiqiu about her life story from the very beginning.

People with such a background are often reluctant to let others know that the death of both parents is a scar in anyone's heart.

And she so frankly revealed her scars in front of Xiao Shiqiu, no wonder Old Xiao never doubted her.

Si Kouting told Xiao Shiqiu that her adoptive parents did not want to adopt her at first because they thought she was a little too old and they wanted to adopt a younger one.

She was the one who took the initiative to tell them that raising her would save money, that she would definitely be admitted to university and get a scholarship, and would not add any burden to them.

This is consistent with what Xiao Xu found out from his investigation. So when a person wants to win the trust of others, telling nine truths and one lie is the least likely to be exposed!
