When Zhou Qizheng's phone rang, Lu Xiaoqiao was about to open the car door and get out. He reminded her, "Don't forget to take the big crab."
"Okay, Mr. Zhou, I'll go up first. Thank you for taking me back tonight."
"Well, send me a WeChat message after you get inside."
After Lu Xiaoqiao closed the car door and stepped onto the stairs, Zhou Qizheng answered the phone: "Hello! Sister, why are you calling me so late?"
The time difference between Zhou Qiyue's country and China is more than three hours, so it should be early morning there.
"Why did you take so long to answer the phone? Has the person arrived?"
I turned on the Bluetooth of my phone and connected it to the car: "What do you mean?"
After saying that, he took out a cigarette box from the storage box and cracked out a cigarette.
"Zhou Qizhen, you are so capable that you have come to me to eat the grass around you. Why don't you admit it?"
Hearing this, the hand holding the cigarette suddenly paused, then put it back into his mouth. He took out his lighter as if nothing had happened, held the fire in his hand to light it, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled smoke rings.
The left window was wide open. He placed his left hand holding the cigarette outside the window and flicked the ash with his index finger.
"You didn't mean to hide it. Dad called you?"
From the moment he saw Lu Xiaoqiao coming out of the kitchen, he had no intention of hiding it from her from the moment he stayed to eat.
Zhou Qiyue didn't expect that he would admit it so easily, and he couldn't say all the words he had prepared.
"What else? Do you think Lin Lin can find out? You will never believe that your uncle will attack your best friend one day. If so, your sister will become your aunt. How will you heal the pain in my daughter's heart?"
Zhou Qizheng: “…”
"But come to think of it, when did you come up with this idea? Was it because you saw that the girl was pretty and you just had the urge to do it, or was it..."
Zhou Qi interrupted the person on the other end of the phone who hadn't finished speaking yet: "I'm serious."
After hearing his answer, Zhou Qiyue felt relieved. He was afraid that his brother was just being impulsive and attracted by the girl. Moreover, the girl was his daughter's good friend and classmate, which would lead to a bad ending.
"That's good. What does Xiao Qiao mean? Is she interested in you? Don't be too one-sided."
Listening to Zhou Qiyue's words, Zhou Qizhen felt a little relieved. So far, he was indeed too enthusiastic.
"You are a man, and you are much older than him. If you like her, you should take the initiative. You will be 33 next year. Dad may not urge you, but he will be anxious when he sees that Uncle Liu's grandson is already in kindergarten."
Zhou Qizhen didn't rush to talk, but took the phone and looked at the message that you have a new message. He opened the WeChat interface and clicked on the address book with the note "Qiao Qiao".
[Mr. Zhou, I'm going into the house. Please drive carefully on the road [kiss].]
I was casually swiping at the screen of my mobile phone when I suddenly saw a kiss emoticon behind the message. Thinking it was an illusion, my body suddenly stiffened and I quickly sat up straight. When I wanted to confirm it again, it showed that "Qiao Qiao" had withdrawn a message.
Immediately afterwards, four emoticons were sent over in succession.
【[Cracked][Sigh][Frown][Crying]. 】
[Did Mr. Zhou see it? No, I clicked the wrong one [crying]. ]
Zhou Qizhen couldn't help but smile.
[Yes, I saw it.]
Seeing that the little girl didn't reply for a long time, he didn't dare to tease her too much, so he replied again.
【It's OK.】
"No, Zhou Qizhen, what are you doing? I've been telling you for so long, did you hear me? Dad and aunt both want you to be well more than anyone else. It's been so many years, it's time to let it go. Every time you come home, aunt is happier than dad. If mom were still alive, she wouldn't want you to be like this."
Zhou Qizheng fastened his seat belt again, released the handbrake, started the car, and replied coldly: "If Mom is still alive, she won't have any problem."
Zhou Qiyue didn't want the two of them to have unpleasant arguments every time because of this matter, nor did he want this to be a permanent demon in his heart.
"Okay, I won't say any more. Just drive well. When you get married and have children, you will understand what I mean."
After they hung up the phone, Zhou Qi was thinking about what Zhou Qiyue had just said, starting a family? He really wanted to have a family, a home with Lu Xiaoqiao.
…
During the Golden Week of October 1st.
Lu Xiaoqiao took Qin Momo's place in the class for five days, and planned to spend the remaining two days relaxing by herself.
Her aunt called her several times and asked her to go to her house for dinner, but she made excuses to refuse. She knew that if she went, she would be scolded for helping Qin Momo with work, and she would be criticized for helping others and causing trouble for herself.
Around 9:30 in the morning.
I finally don't have to go to work today so I was thinking of taking a nap, but then my cell phone rang. I pulled the phone out from under my pillow and saw the caller ID showed 'Lin Lin'.
He picked up the phone: "Hello! Lin Lin, what's up so early?"
A lazy voice came from the microphone, and it sounded like someone had just woken up: "Xiao Qiao, you lazy bastard, why haven't you gotten up yet?"
"I read a novel until 2 a.m. yesterday. I don't have to go to work today. It's just me and Tuanzi at home. Let's go to sleep! The weather is neither too hot nor too cold. It's so comfortable to cover myself with a blanket."
After saying that, he stretched his waist.
"Then if you have time, can you come over and cook shrimp for me?"
"Ah? Didn't I just do it for you a few days ago?" Lu Xiaoqiao counted the days in her mind, but it was not even ten days.
Lin Lin said aggrievedly: "You did, but I didn't get to eat much, and my uncle ate half of them by himself. I didn't expect my uncle to be such a foodie."
Zhao Yaqin, who was sitting next to Lin Lin, patted her and said, "This kid, you are talking nonsense. Your uncle didn't eat half of it. It's because Xiao Qiao's cooking was so delicious that he ate a few more bites."
Lin Lin retorted in a coquettish voice: "I'm not talking nonsense. If you don't believe me, ask my brother. He only ate one, I ate five, you and grandpa ate two each, and the rest went into my uncle's stomach. I'm counting them."
"Say this to your uncle."
Zhao Yaqin anxiously began to threaten Lin Lin. She couldn't let Zhou Qizhen have a bad impression in front of the girl.
"Hmph!" Lin Lin pouted and said nothing more.
Zhao Yaqin took the phone from Lin Lin and said, "Xiao Qiao, if you don't have work today, come over. You can teach me how to make this shrimp. I think everyone likes it."
"Sure! Then wait for me, grandma. I'll come over after I'm done packing."
"You don't have to take a car by yourself. I'll let Qi Zheng pick you up. His father has something to do with him and he just needs to come here. The new elevated bridge is open now, so it's convenient to drive from his place to where you live."
"Xiao Qiao, bring Tuanzi over as well." Lin Lin added.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Xiaoqiao quickly got up and packed up. She brushed her teeth and washed her face. Considering that the weather was getting a bit cooler, she picked out a pair of jeans from the closet, matched them with a short-sleeved white T-shirt, and a thin lotus pink knitted jacket on the outside, so that it would be convenient to take off the jacket when it got hot.
She tied her hair into a half-high ponytail, which is very popular recently, and left a little bangs on both sides of her forehead, making her look two years younger.
Just as I finished packing, Zhou Qizhen called.
"Hey! Mr. Zhou, Lin Lin asked me to take Tuanzi over there. Can you put a dog in your car?"
"Okay, I'm downstairs now, you can come down."
Lu Xiaoqiao took a pet bag and put the dumpling inside, leaving only its little head exposed. She was mainly afraid that it would get the other person's car dirty, as the car looked very expensive.
When Lu Xiaoqiao went downstairs, she saw a black Bentley parked next to the flower bed. There weren't many luxury cars in their neighborhood. When she was wondering if it was his car, she saw the driver's window roll down, revealing the handsome face of the man inside.
When I opened the car door and got in, I saw Zhou Qi was on the phone, and he was communicating in pure English. He really has a lot of phone calls. Eight out of ten times I saw him, he was on the phone. It seems that being a boss is not that easy.
Seeing that Lu Xiaoqiao had fastened her seat belt, he started the car. Because it was a holiday and at this time, there were not many cars on the road.
