Chapter 291 Whose Man Cooks Like This

Zhou Shuang's face turned even redder.

He lowered his head and said nothing, just eating.

Qi Huaijing also fed him little by little. Both of them were good-looking, and even their eating postures were pleasing to the eye.

During the meal, there was almost no other communication except talking about the ring.

Facing Qi Huaijing, Zhou Shuang didn't know what to say.

However, Qi Huaijing would continue to say some meaningless words to avoid a dull moment.

The meal was warm and romantic. Except for Zhou Shuang who felt embarrassed, Qi Huaijing remained calm throughout.

When they returned to the old house, Zhou Shuang found that the main hall was filled with gifts in boxes with handles. She had the impression that neither her great-grandfather nor her mother were shopaholics. These were—

Lin Shu and Old Man Zhou were overjoyed. There were two rows of bodyguards standing in the yard, dozens of luxury cars outside the old house, and three helicopters slowly descending overhead.

The boxes were still being moved in, and Qi Huaijing held Zhou Shuang's hand and walked in slowly.

"Grandpa, mother-in-law, Shuangshuang and I have already obtained our marriage certificate. We originally planned to wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival to send the betrothal gifts, but since today is worse than tomorrow, I took the liberty of asking my assistant to send the betrothal gifts over first.

For the Mid-Autumn Festival engagement banquet, my mother-in-law and great-grandfather will take a look at the guest list and ask who needs to be invited. I will book the hotel and arrange the drinks and banquets. You just need to give a name. "

Zhou Shuang was dumbfounded. Is this a betrothal gift?

So fast?

He was sending it from Rongcheng by air and land day and night.

My great-grandfather’s main hall is almost full.

Chen Yi and Chen Xuan curled their lips, especially Chen Yi, who was angry that Qi Huaijing had stolen his sister away so easily, and gave him a contemptuous look.

"What can the nouveau riche give?"

Chen Xuan was also unhappy, and Lin Shu had no choice but to coax the two children.

"My brother-in-law also agreed to live in Haicheng with my eldest sister, so she stayed."

Chen Xuan and Chen Yi didn't buy it. She was obviously their elder sister before, but after Qi Huaijing came, they saw that the two of them were holding hands. Especially the one with the surname Qi, he kept looking at his elder sister with a frown.

As expected, the old cow who eats the young grass always takes advantage, and the same goes for my sister. Has she ever looked at them straight in the eye? In the past, Zhou Shuang's eyes would not leave them, but now they are all on this man.

"If you have a boy you like in the future, you will do the same as your elder sister."

Lin Shu's words of advice hit Chen Xuan sore. She stamped her feet fiercely and said, "I don't want to find a man. My elder sister is laughing like a fool."

Chen Xuan couldn't stand it. In her memory, her eldest sister was usually a bit serious, but she was quite gentle with them. But that was only limited to the two of them.

Chen Xuan had never seen Zhou Shuang smile at anyone other than her family. Why on earth could Qi Huaijing, who suddenly broke into their lives, get her elder sister's smile?

Moreover, Chen Xuan felt very stupid. Is this still their eldest sister?

Qi Huaijing ordered someone to open the handle box. Zhou Shuang was also curious about what Qi Huaijing used as a betrothal gift. It couldn't be boxes of cash, right?

When they opened it, they found that there were priceless ancient paintings inside. The other boxes did not contain cash as Zhou Shuang thought. Just think about it, the Zhou family is now even richer than they were more than ten years ago.

The Zhou family doesn't even look down on ordinary things, but the old man really likes these things.

Qi Huaijing catered to his needs. In the other boxes were a lot of gold and silver jewelry, as well as silk products woven in Jiangnan. The patterns on each cheongsam were hand-embroidered by top embroiderers. They were priceless and could not be bought with any amount of money.

Even Chen Xuan, who had shown disdain at first, couldn't help but open her eyes wide. The clothes and silk fabrics were so exquisite that she couldn't take her eyes off them.

"Superficial, it's just a little bit, and they bought it all one by one."

Qi Huaijing signaled his servants to open the remaining boxes, but Chen Yi didn't want to look at them.

He was afraid that Qi Huaijing would come up with something weird to brainwash these women and his great-grandfather, making them all side with him.

"These things include my exclusive collection and silk products from Jiangnan, all of which have been passed down for thousands of years. Other common items might not pass muster with my mother-in-law and my great-grandfather. Do you like them?"

Qi Huaijing knew that if he wanted to make a good impression in front of Lin Shu and Old Man Zhou, he would have to put in some effort, and they should appreciate it.

"Okay, okay, of course."

At this moment, the wrinkles on Mr. Zhou's face were so wrinkled from smiling that a fly would be pinched to death if it passed by.

Lin Shu coughed lightly. Those cheongsams, my God, she had never worn a cheongsam in her life.

When I was in good shape, I stayed at home all day and wore dresses to attend big occasions. The only year I worked, I wore commuting clothes. Later, when I got pregnant, I wore maternity clothes. After becoming a mother in recent years, of course I pay attention to dressing appropriately, and I wear all formal and casual clothes.

Basically, I have never worn a skirt or high heels, let alone cheongsams.

Among the several large boxes of cheongsams sent to Zhou Shuang, there was one box of mature styles with darker colors. Zhou Shuang's age was suitable for light colors, and it was obvious at a glance that the box was given by Qi Huaijing to honor Lin Shu.

Chen Xuan curled her lips. It turned out that he could please Mommy and Grandpa. That was how he tricked his eldest sister away. She just didn't care about these things.

Even though I was thinking this, I couldn't help but glance at those cheongsams. Oh my god, they were so beautiful. There are specialty stores in Haicheng, but they can't compare to these.

The old man took out a bunch of keys and handed them to Qi Huaijing: "This is the wedding house I prepared for Shuangshuang a long time ago. I never found the owner, so this house is my wedding gift to you."

Zhou Shuang looked at her great-grandfather with tears in her eyes. Qi Huaijing accepted it without hesitation.

Originally, he had prepared to take Zhou Shuang to pick out a wedding house that she liked today, but it was not easy for the Zhou family to find a house, so he was not in a hurry.

Thinking that Zhou Shuang had finally come back but was about to be taken away by me again, it would be better to let her stay at home and spend more time with her family.

Seeing that the old man had already given the house away, Lin Shu took back the key in his hand and replaced it with a whole box of keys for Qi Huaijing.

"Shuangshuang likes cars, especially sitting in the passenger seat and feeling the sea breeze. Here are ten of the world's top supercars. If you can't drive a racing car, you might want to practice."

Qi Huaijing had the air of a high-ranking official's son. Men from such aristocratic families rarely indulged in wild pursuits. Born and raised in Jiangnan, his tall stature couldn't conceal his scholarly air. Lin Shu was a little worried, but Zhou Shuang took it without hesitation.

"It's okay, I can drive, uncle can sit in the passenger seat."

While eating, he also asked her to take Haicheng for a walk.

Qi Huaijing couldn't help but frown when she still called him "little uncle".

Who are you calling "uncle"? Don't you know that you are married?

He didn't say it explicitly, but just put his arm around her slender waist domineeringly: "We have finished discussing the business, so we won't disturb you anymore. Let's go and see the house that great-grandfather gave us?"

Qi Huaijing suggested this, and everyone could tell that the young couple wanted to be alone. Lin Shu and Old Man Zhou were hoping that they could hold their great-great-grandson by this time next year.

Zhou Shuang didn't think much of it and really thought he wanted to go see the house, so she waved the key in her hand.

"Okay, I'll take you there."

Chen Yi was so angry that he glared at her and secretly cursed her for being stupid.

All men are bad. Just as he was about to speak, Lin Shu reached out and covered his son's mouth.

"Go ahead, have fun."

Chen Yi was so angry that he rolled his eyes at the smiling face, and Chen Xuan was also sulking.

What's so great about it? It's just a cheongsam. Hasn't the antique dealer seen it before? He bribed the two of them. Shameless.

Zhou Shuang released Qi Huaijing's hand and said softly, "I'll go change my clothes and drive a car over. You wait here."

Qi Huaijing replied calmly, "Okay."

He often rode in cars driven by drivers in Rongcheng, but this was his first time riding in a car driven by a woman. Besides Zhou Shuang, even Qi Luoyan had never sat in the passenger seat before.

Qi Huaijing waited at the door for a few minutes before he heard the roar of a sports car approaching from afar.

He raised his eyes slightly, and his black pupils were instantly attracted to the woman in the car.

Zhou Shuang put one hand on the steering wheel and gently pulled back her hair that was messed up by the wind with the other hand. Her exposed arms looked particularly white in the sunlight.

The sunset glowing on her was gorgeous, especially her naturally curly hair and the small mole on the slightly raised corners of her eyes, which made her look wild and alluring.

Qi Huaijing's breathing stopped. When Zhou Shuang and Qi Luoyan were together, they were obviously of the same age. Zhou Shuang looked much more sensible and quiet than Qi Luoyan. He didn't expect that she had such a delicate and wild side.

I'd seen Lin Shu compete in the F1 arena before, but the drivers back then were all heavily armored, their faces barely visible. Unlike Zhou Shuang now, she was both beautiful and wild, making it impossible to look away.

Zhou Shuang looked at the man whose figure was stretched out by the setting sun. He was standing in the sunset wearing a white shirt, with a suit jacket draped over his right arm. His slightly exposed Adam's apple rolled up and down slightly. His face was gentle and stern, and he looked like an abstinent and domineering CEO, quite stuffy and reserved.

Zhou Shuang's car came to an abrupt stop in front of him. She raised her chin slightly, her eyes drooping seductively, and said to Qi Huaijing in a charming tone, "Get in the car."

Qi Huaijing opened the car door and got in. He reached out and unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt, revealing his strong chest muscles. He looked different from his previous gentle appearance. When the wind blew, his meticulous black hair flew in disarray. Combined with his ascetic profile, he actually looked a bit badass.

Zhou Shuang glanced at the man next to her casually. She had never seen Qi Huaijing like this before. Her heart was pounding and she almost drove the car onto the safety island.

"No sexual activity while driving."

“…”

Zhou Shuang's face turned red. She just glanced at him accidentally. How could she be so excited?

This man, sometimes he talks so much that you just want to shut his mouth.

"Want to shut me up?"

There was a red light ahead, and Zhou Shuang immediately stepped on the brakes.

Fifty-nine seconds of waiting time can make people collapse. Zhou Shuang did not respond to Qi Huaijing's words. Suddenly, she felt a force on the back of her head. Her head was pressed directly to the right, and her red lips kissed without warning in a flash.

Zhou Shuang was stunned for a moment, as if her brain was deprived of oxygen. She couldn't think of anything, and everything went blank.

This was her first kiss, and also Qi Huaijing's.

He had never had any desire for any woman, and he had no idea that kissing on TV could be so sweet.

The two didn't know how long they kissed until a long series of horns from the cars behind them honked one after another, and Zhou Shuang heard a low and pleasant male voice.

"The light is green, drive."

Only then did she react and her ears were filled with the sound of whistles.

Zhou Shuang's face flushed red, she stepped on the accelerator, and the sports car roared forward.

Along the way, she acted as if she didn't hear what Qi Huaijing and Zhou Shuang were saying. She drove by muscle memory, but her mind no longer felt like her own.

Qi Huaijing's eyes fell on Zhou Shuang's lips, which were red and swollen from his kiss just now, and he felt a little regretful.

"I was a little rude earlier, sorry."

Zhou Shuang didn't hear what he said at all and just said "hmm".

Qi Huaijing continued, "I'll be careful next time I kiss you. If you feel uncomfortable, please tell me."

Zhou Shuang used the wind outside the car window to blow away the heat on her face and no longer dared to peek at Qi Huaijing.

The old house wasn't too far from the villa the old man had given them. Fifteen minutes later, the car pulled up in front of an antique courtyard. It had the same vermilion lacquer gate, and inside, pavilions, verandas, rockery, and lakes were all present. It felt like a miniature version of Qi Huaijing's villa in Rongcheng.

When they saw this Chinese-style landscaped villa, Zhou Shuang and Qi Huai were stunned for a moment.

Qi Huaijing said calmly, "Grandpa is indeed very thoughtful."

However, if this courtyard was purchased many years ago, it would be an interesting matter.

Zhou Shuang didn't say anything. She walked in and found that even the placement of some objects was almost the same as where Qi Huaijing lived.

The two stayed in the old house for a long time, and when they came back here, the sunset had already completely set.

Qi Huaijing took Zhou Shuang to the restaurant with ease and made her a pot of tea.

"Are you hungry? I'll go cook."

Zhou Shuang heard her stomach growling. She had eaten at the French restaurant at noon, but since it was the first time they had eaten alone, she didn't dare to eat too much. Now she was already hungry, but she didn't dare to say it.

"You can?"

She was surprised because he didn't look like someone who could cook.

Qi Huaijing hung up his coat, reached out and slowly rolled up the cuffs of his shirt. He still had his watch on his wrist, which he had not taken off.

Zhou Shuang could see the island counter from her position in the restaurant. Qi Huaijing was carefully preparing the dishes with a black kitchen knife. The veins on his exposed forearms were clearly visible. He bent over slightly, and his chest muscles were faintly visible through his open collar.

Whose man can cook such delicious food?

Zhou Shuang couldn't help but take a few glances at him, and while drinking water, she would secretly glance at Qi Huaijing.

His plating movements were neat and clean. The cold dishes and salads were beautiful, like works of art.

There was a cup of American coffee next to him, with latte art on it, and he walked towards Zhou Shuang with it in his hand.

"Try it."

The upper class in Haicheng likes Western food and those high-end things, unlike the people in Rongcheng who are more fond of drinking tea and listening to music. They can sit in a small restaurant with a pot of tea for an entire afternoon, and they don’t have to dress too formally, which would be tiring.

Qi Huaijing also adapted to the local customs and catered to Zhou Shuang's preferences.

The dishes on the island were all her favorite seafood, and the kitchen refrigerator was already full.

It can be seen that these are all Zhou Shuang’s favorite foods. They should have been sent by the old man today, so he can just use his cooking skills.

Zhou Shuang shifted her gaze from his chest to the coffee. She had been imagining a lot of scenes along the way.

It doesn't matter whether the coffee tastes good or not.
