Li Yuxuan glanced at Zhou Qizhen, then bent over, walked up to him across the desk and gave him a playful smile.
"Henpecked?"
Zhou Qizhen ignored his teasing and changed the subject, "I have to go to Shenzhen for a two-day business trip tomorrow. You can follow me to the south of the city."
Li Yuxuan nodded: "Don't worry about the work! But come to think of it, are you really not going to tell Shen Yi about this?"
Zhou Qizheng put down the information in his hand and tapped the table regularly with his index finger. He thought for a moment and then said, "Let's wait for the expert to come and take a look. Even if I tell him now, I'm afraid he won't be able to accept it right away, based on my understanding of him. It's better to wait until the expert takes a look before slowly revealing the news to him. Besides, if I let him know now, I won't be able to explain to my wife."
Li Yuxuan shrugged and finally compromised, "Okay! I hope nothing serious happens to that little girl, otherwise Old Shen will probably hate me to death."
…
When it was almost time to get off work in the evening, Lu Xiaoqiao sent Zhou Qizhen a WeChat message.
Xiao Qiao: [I'm going to my aunt's house for dinner tonight. You don't have to wait for me for dinner.]
Z: [What time will it end? I’ll pick you up. ]
Xiao Qiao: [It won’t be too late. I’ll be back after I finish eating. ]
Lu Xiaoqiao thought about talking to her aunt today and decided not to go over for dinner on Mondays.
Z: [Okay, call me when you’re almost done.]
Xiao Qiao replied with an emoticon of "hmmmm".
…
After get off work in the evening.
Lu Xiaoqiao took the elevator to the underground parking lot.
When he saw Liu Ye’s car, he opened the door and got in as usual.
Because the cook would not be back until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zheng Yan and her aunt went back together early to prepare dinner.
My aunt said in the group that Sun Han would also go, so Li Na naturally went there in Sun Han's car.
Lu Xiaoqiao sat alone in Liu Ye's car, full of suspicion, unable to guess whether this was her uncle-in-law's intention. You know, if she encountered a similar situation in the past, Liu Ye would have run away long ago.
Liu Ye turned around and glanced at Lu Xiaoqiao: "Sister Xiaoqiao, it's just the two of us today, let's sit in the front passenger seat!"
When Lu Xiaoqiao and Liu Ye were young, they had a very good relationship because they were of similar age. However, as they grew older, especially after Liu Ye fell in love, their relationship changed from being close to being indifferent.
Lu Xiaoqiao glanced at him and said, "No need, just drive quickly!"
What were they doing sitting in the front, chatting? She didn't want to say anything more to the blind man.
Ten minutes later, while waiting for the red light, Liu Ye looked back at Lu Xiaoqiao who was looking down at her phone: "Hey! I want to ask you something! How did you meet your boyfriend?"
Lu Xiaoqiao's eyes moved from the phone screen to his face, and she said calmly, "A friend introduced me to him."
Liu Ye looked at him with obvious disbelief. The red light turned green and he restarted the car: "Stop bragging! What friend of yours knows Zhou Qizheng?"
"Believe it or not." Lu Xiaoqiao didn't want to talk anymore, so she just closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair.
When Lu Xiaoqiao arrived, Li Na and Sun Han had not arrived yet.
When Liu Zhengqiang saw her coming in, he greeted her enthusiastically as if he was welcoming a leader: "Xiao Qiao, come in quickly. Is it cold outside?"
Lu Xiaoqiao forced a smile and said, "It's not cold."
"That's good. Come in and sit for a while. Dinner will be served soon. All your favorite dishes will be served."
Lu Xiaoqiao said "hmm".
Lu Xiaoqiao sat on the sofa with her cell phone in her hand, wondering whether she should send a message to Zhou Qizhen right away, asking him to pick her up in an hour and a half.
The old lady who was also sitting on the sofa moved closer to Lu Xiaoqiao and asked her, "Zheng Yan said that your boyfriend is a big boss? He is said to be very rich."
Lu Xiaoqiao was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to answer. She could scold anyone, but she couldn't argue with an old man.
Just at this moment Li Na and Sun Han arrived, and Lu Xiaoqiao was busy trying to change the subject of the conversation by trying to trick the old lady.
When everyone arrived, Liu Zhengqiang invited everyone to go to the dining room for dinner.
Lu Xiaoqiao still sat in her old seat, but the dishes placed in front of her today were the best on the table.
Liu Zhengqiang urged her to eat more: "Xiao Qiao, eat more, don't be polite to your uncle, just treat this place as your own home."
Lu Xiaoqiao almost vomited her food when she heard that. If she remembered correctly, the last time they came here to eat, because of the fight between her and Zheng Yan, he asked her if she thought this was his home.
Now it seems a bit ironic.
Lu Xiaoqiao secretly sent a message to Zhou Qizhen under the table, asking him to pick her up in an hour.
Lu Xiaoqiao had some indigestion after the meal, so after the meal she took the opportunity to follow Zhang Minzhi to the balcony to collect the clothes she had dried during the day.
"Aunt."
Zhang Minzhi turned around and glanced at her: "What's wrong?"
Lu Xiaoqiao helped her take off her clothes one by one and whispered, "Aunt, Zhou Qizheng has been a little busy recently. He said he would come to visit you after a while."
Zhang Minzhi took off the last piece of clothing and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if my aunt comes here or not, as long as he treats you well. His status and position are there, it's normal for him to be busy. I understand."
Lu Xiaoqiao hummed, and then continued, "It's because he's too busy, so can I not come back here for dinner during this period of time?"
Zhang Minzhi paused when she heard this, then thought of what happened tonight and sighed, "Auntie knows, it's okay."
At this time, Lu Xiaoqiao's cell phone rang, but she hung up, and the other party knew what was going on and didn't call again.
He raised his head and looked at Zhang Minzhi again: "Aunt, his car is downstairs, I'll go down first!"
"Yeah," Zhang Minzhi nodded, and then called Lu Xiaoqiao.
She said in a tactful tone: "You live with him?"
Lu Xiaoqiao's cheeks suddenly felt hot, and she lowered her eyes without saying a word.
There was nothing Zhang Minzhi didn't understand. She could only blame herself for asking that unnecessary question, which made the child embarrassed!
After taking a look at her pretty but still young niece, she said earnestly, "You are young and don't understand some things, but young people have their own ideas. I don't care about this. There is only one thing I must remind you of."
Lu Xiaoqiao looked at Zhang Minzhi who suddenly became serious and asked hesitantly, "What's the matter?"
Zhang Minzhi leaned close to her and whispered, "You can't get pregnant before marriage, understand? This is the bottom line."
Lu Xiaoqiao nodded with a red face, thinking that it would be a shame to be misunderstood like this, especially by the elders at home.
After Lu Xiaoqiao entered the house from the balcony, she called Zhou Qizhen back.
"Hello? Where are you? You can't park for a long time at the bus stop. How long have you been there? Wait a moment, I'll be right off!"
After hanging up the phone, he said hello to Liu Zhengqiang and hurried downstairs.
Li Na and Sun Han also stood up and said goodbye.
Liu Zhengqiang hurriedly took two boxes of Chunjian from the kitchen and gave one box to Sun Han.
"My friend sent this over. You two can take this box back and eat it. I said the other box is for Xiao Qiao. This kid went down in a hurry, so I'll go after her."
Li Na felt uncomfortable watching Liu Zhengqiang's pace, which was almost like he was running.
