Chapter 22: Pretty Asshole
He Chi coughed lightly and said with a guilty conscience, "You said there were a lot of things. I was worried that an ordinary small truck wouldn't be able to hold them all."
Looking at the young couple's reaction, Zhang Qiao couldn't help but burst into laughter.
She smiled and said, "That's great. You can fit a few of us in there too."
"A seven-meter-long truck, hahahaha..."
Jiang Yining also found it funny, but she couldn't help it. Worried that He Chi would feel embarrassed, she gently touched her bestie's hand and said, "Qiaoqiao, stop laughing."
Zhang Qiao said to He Chi, "I'm sorry, I just thought it was funny, not a joke."
He Chi is not a petty man. He actually wants Jiang Yining to be like her friends and laugh heartily when something is funny.
His wife cares too much about other people's feelings and neglects her own.
In the end, of course, they did not follow the truck, but got on the Land Rover driven by He Chi.
When moving things, He Chi basically didn't let the two girls do anything.
Although she didn't need Zhang Qiao's help, she still wanted to go over and take a look.
She knew in her heart that they would not neglect Jiang Yining, and He Chi's financial conditions were also very good, but Zhang Qiao was still worried if she didn't go to see him.
The house He Chi bought is a large flat of nearly 300 square meters, with one apartment per floor, and is decorated in Italian light luxury style.
He built a shoe cabinet outside the door, and there was a foyer right after the entrance, with simple decorations.
As soon as he entered, Jiang Yining felt that the room was particularly bright. The windows were sealed, and he could see the lake view outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
He Chi has a cat and did not buy a leather sofa. There is an island counter next to the living room and two kitchens, one in Chinese and the other in Western style.
The dining room is outside the kitchen, with a wine cabinet against the wall. The living room is connected to the dining room, making it look very spacious.
He Xiaohui appeared out of nowhere, saw Jiang Yining, and moved to her feet and rubbed against her.
Jiang Yining squatted down happily, picked up He Xiaohui, and said with a smile, "You've lost weight."
He Chi opened the door for them, and then went to move things with the driver. As soon as he came up, he heard Jiang Yining's words, and suddenly he felt worried that Jiang Yining would spoil He Xiaohui in the future.
He said to Jiang Yining, "The master bedroom is at the back. I've cleaned up the cloakroom and built a new dressing table for you. Go and see if you like it."
After saying that, He Chi went out again, giving Jiang Yining some space to get familiar with the house first.
Zhang Qiao received a call from a colleague. When she came back, she saw He Xiaohui and said, "Hey, this little fat cat is quite attached to you."
Jiang Yining felt the same way. "He Chi just asked me to go to the cloakroom and take a look. I'll go in first."
Zhang Qiao shamelessly went along to see it all. After visiting He Chi's house, she suddenly became motivated to work like a slave.
"Ningning, I will never complain about my work again. I will try to buy myself a house like this before I die."
Coming out of the master bedroom, Jiang Yining felt very nervous thinking that she would be living in the same room with He Chi tonight.
Hearing Zhang Qiao's teasing, she smiled and said, "As long as the house is the right size, it's fine. I quite like the home you live in now. It's quite cozy."
Of course, she also likes He Chi's place. Maybe it's because it's her first time here and she doesn't feel the taste of "home".
But it made her feel the gap between her and He Chi.
Teacher Lin and Teacher He are low-key, but the He family is not an ordinary family. He Chi's conditions are much better than hers. Originally, she and He Chi should be from two different worlds.
Zhang Qiao took a look around and then chose an appropriate time to leave.
Jiang Yining was sorting her clothes in the cloakroom. He Chi left most of the space for her and placed all his clothes in the closet on the left.
The new dressing table is in the same style as the wardrobe in the cloakroom.
She went to the study and saw that He Chi had moved almost all of his things out, obviously to make room for her.
He Chi walked into the cloakroom and saw Jiang Yining standing there. He didn't know what she was thinking, so he asked, "Don't you like it?"
Jiang Yining turned around, smiled gently and shook his head, "No, I like it very much, thank you."
She half-jokingly said, "I'm just feeling that marrying you is totally out of my league."
He Chi laughed, "Don't let Teacher Lin hear this."
After a pause, He Chi suddenly became serious, "Since I chose to get married with you, I don't think you are marrying above my station. I will never think so, whether before or in the future."
Jiang Yining nodded, "I understand."
He Chi asked Jiang Yining for her opinion, "Should we sleep in separate rooms for the time being?"
He explained, "I can totally accept sleeping in a room from today on, I'm just worried that you can't adapt yet."
Hearing about sleeping in separate rooms, Jiang Yining breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll sleep in the guest bedroom first."
"The master bedroom has a private bathroom. Since you're a girl, it's more convenient for you to stay in the master bedroom. As a grown man, I just need a bed to sleep in. It's not that particular."
Jiang Yining did not refuse He Chi's kindness.
He Chi originally planned to go to the guest bedroom, but when he walked out of the cloakroom, his eyes fell on the big bed in the room.
He turned back and said, "I've used the four-piece set on the bed. Do you mind?"
Jiang Yining likes cleanliness and will not use things that have been used by others, but if this "other person" is He Chi, she doesn't mind.
She looked at He Chi, her expression as calm as ever, "I don't mind."
He Chi's gaze shifted from her calm face to the tips of her ears, which were slightly red.
He turned and walked out, but the corners of his lips unconsciously curled up slightly.
This girl is quite good at pretending. She is obviously feeling shy inside, but her face shows an expression that says I don't care at all.
Both of them were busy packing their things. At noon, He Chi cooked noodles and they had a simple lunch.
In the afternoon, Jiang Yining placed her books on the bookshelf in the study. Seeing that there were many more of her things in the house, Jiang Yining slowly felt that this was the home belonging to her and He Chi.
He Chi went out for a while and came back with a frozen watermelon. He cut the watermelon and Jiang Yining just came out of the study.
He then said, "Come and eat watermelon together."
Jiang Yining had a thin layer of sweat on her body. She wiped the sweat from her forehead with a tissue and saw that He Chi had changed his clothes. He was dressed casually, in a simple T-shirt and casual pants.
She took the smallest piece of watermelon, and after eating it, she restrained herself from taking any more.
He Chi didn't see that she didn't like it, "Not eating anymore?"
Jiang Yining shook her head and said softly, "My period is coming soon, and I'm afraid I'll have a stomachache if I eat too much."
He Chi was stunned for a moment and said, "Sorry, I didn't think of this. I should have asked your opinion before buying it."
"You're already very attentive. It's impossible for you to think of everything."
Her voice was soft and pleasant to the ear.
He Chi saw that her long hair was casually fixed behind her head with a clip, and a strand of hair stuck to her smooth white neck.
She wore an apricot-colored dress with a light V-neck, which just revealed her delicate collarbone, but the dress was rather slim-fitting.
Jiang Yining has very fair skin. He loves outdoor sports and his skin is a healthy wheat color, which forms a sharp contrast between the two people's skin colors.
He Chi's gaze moved down uncontrollably, touching the graceful curve under her collarbone.
His Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he realized that his behavior just now was quite asshole-like, but then he thought again, this is his wife, even if he looked at her openly, it would not be illegal.
Jiang Yining raised her eyes and found that He Chi was staring at her with a serious look.
She was confused and asked doubtfully, "Is there something on my face?"
He Chi looked at her and said bluntly, "No, I just think you're pretty."
