Chapter 23: Pack up the leftovers and take them home

If she hadn't met He Yuan by chance, and the two hadn't had that magical fate, then at this moment Chen Qing would have said openly: "I simply admired Researcher He's looks."

But after what happened that day, if she said that, people would easily misunderstand her as a pervert.

Chen Qing took a deep breath and bowed deeply to He Yuan: "I'm sorry, I used your name to avoid a blind date I didn't like. I didn't expect it would have such a big impact later. I apologize to you."

"I'll use tea instead of wine, and toast you a glass."

She downed her tea in one gulp.

Director Shen was watching the fun and didn't mind the big deal: "Drinking tea is boring, Xiao Chen, why don't you try drinking wine, that would be more sincere, don't you think?"

He Yuan, who had been sitting there silently from beginning to end, finally lowered himself and took the initiative to say the first sentence: "No need. I don't drink either."

Director Shen showed a mysterious smile: "Help the beauty block the wine."

He Yuan: "I just don't want to force you to drink."

He spoke bluntly.

Director Shen looked embarrassed, he had put so much effort into He Yuan, but he didn't appreciate it!

He felt helpless as if a plan had run out. "Then there is a wonderful misunderstanding between you two. Let's eat."

He Yuan will be cold and sharp in the next period of time, and will remain cold and sharp throughout, invisibly keeping people at a distance.

The other people at the table noticed He Yuan's indifference and did not provoke him.

During the meal, Director Shen sent his secretary to investigate whether He Yuan was as lustful as the rumors said!

Back at the dinner table, Director Shen ignored He Yuan and chatted with others, recruiting many people openly and secretly.

Seeing a group of talented people willing to work for him, he felt a little better!

After the meal, Chen Qing shamelessly packed up the leftovers.

Lots of meat!

I made a profit on this one!

I save money on tomorrow's food.

Everyone watched her packing, and seeing her smile that couldn't be concealed no matter how hard she tried, they were also happy.

After packing the food, Chen Qing sent everyone out one by one. When He Yuan left, he whispered in his ear: "Wait for me."

After everyone left, Chen Qing handed him the draft he needed, "I'm sorry for yesterday. This is to make up for it."

"Um."

He Yuan took the draft.

"Then let's just write off what happened between us, right?" Chen Qing really hoped that yesterday's incident could be exposed, otherwise it would seem like she was coveting him.

He Yuan: "Yeah. Thank you for making me famous in the machinery factory."

Chen Qing said hurriedly: "I can explain."

"Oh." He Yuan raised his head from the draft and glanced at her: "But I don't want to listen."

He had long legs and fast steps, and Chen Qing couldn't keep up with him if he sped up a little.

Besides, there are still many people in the machinery factory, so she doesn't dare to pursue him.

This person simply doesn't play by the rules!

Chen Qing gritted his teeth.

It was something that should have been put behind her, but now she has to think about it again.

But it doesn't matter~

She was on guard against He Yuan.

As for the drafts, there are so many drawings, and she didn't say she would give all of them.

Originally, he had planned to make two mistakes and two drafts, but he was too proud to listen to explanations.

There's nothing she can do about it!

Chen Qing chuckled and went home with the vegetables.

It was the first time she had to work overtime at work, and she didn't inform her two children. The two siblings didn't know what was going on. Thinking back to what their aunt had said before that they were framed, a lot of thoughts ran through their minds.

The brother and sister sat on the faded blue painted threshold, leaning against each other, not saying a word. They didn't know what to say, but they just used their ears to catch every slight movement in the corridor.

There was no light in the room and it was pitch black. Even if we cried, no one would laugh at each other.

The door creaked and was pushed open. The two siblings focused their eyes on the front and clenched their palms nervously.

Afraid that she is not their aunt.

"What are you doing? You are all standing guard at the door. It's pitch black. Turn on the lights."

As soon as her voice appeared, He Yuting cheered instantly, jumped up excitedly, waved her little hands, and was so happy that she couldn't express it in words.

Chen Qing had a strange expression: "So you welcome me?"

He Yuting nodded heavily, her eyes shining like the most beautiful black gems: "Aunt, we are waiting for you to come home."

"Yeah?"

Chen Qing felt as if he had finally found a home among all the lights in the world, and he felt very at peace.

Thus, the bad mood of the evening was swept away.

She pulled the cord to turn on the light, and explained with a smile: "I'm working overtime tonight, so I came back a little late. Next time I work overtime, I'll call someone to notify you."

He Yuting: "Okay!"

I'm glad that aunt is okay!

After the lights came on, He Yuxiang saw her appearance clearly.

Still alive, not bad.

Chen Qing was unaware of the two children's complicated emotions. He placed the borrowed lunch box on the table and boasted, "Overtime benefits, open it and see what's inside!"

Nowadays, every family is not rich, but maybe if she rushed into the dinner party early and told them that she wanted to pack up the leftovers, the group of people would feel embarrassed to eat it all, and would leave a little bit of each dish for her.

She put them all together and packed five boxes to take home!

"Guess what's in there?"

The two children came to the table after smelling the food, and saw that it was still steaming. The two children seemed to be under a spell. He Yuting stood on tiptoe, her eyes wide open, "It feels like there are so many things!"

"Of course, open it and take a look."

He Yuting opened the aluminum lunch box expectantly. The lunch box was filled with steaming braised pork, which was trembling and emitting steam. The amber soup was dripping down along the lotus leaf texture.

There are also a few golden fried fish pieces, exuding an enticing aroma, and a pile of seafood next to it, which looks particularly delicious!

He Yuting swallowed her saliva, her eyes full of desire, and she murmured softly, "It smells so good, so good!"

Immediately afterwards, He Yuxiang was also called by Chen Qing to open the lunch box. He felt a little awkward, but facing his sister's expectant gaze, he still opened it.

"Sweet and sour pork ribs!" He Yuting suddenly screamed. As soon as she opened a corner of the lunch box, she recognized the bright red sauce!

Those were the dishes their mothers used to buy at the state-owned restaurant!

He Yuxiang felt a sour feeling in his throat. He remembered the taste of sweet and sour pork ribs, sour and sweet.

I remember that my sister was toothless at that time, so she could only use her front teeth to gently scrape off the caramel layer of the sweet and sour spare ribs, and she had to suck the meaty aroma that remained between her fingers repeatedly.

The most important thing is that he ate it secretly without telling the whole family!

Very memorable!

There are five aluminum lunch boxes in total. Chen Qing asked the two children to open two boxes respectively. Every time he opened the box, he would get an exclamation of "Wow" from the two little guys. Seeing how greedy they were, Chen Qing felt a great sense of accomplishment!

Chen Qing opened the last lunch box: "Ding ding ding ding."

It's filled with pastries!

Green, red, yellow, and white, the colors are bright and they look delicious.

He Yuxiang and He Yuting know two things, namely mung bean cake and white sugar cake.
