Chapter 474: Show of Affection
Tu Ran didn't know that Xie Nancheng had posted something on WeChat Moments.
She was still busy in the kitchen. Half an hour later, a bowl of steaming spinach and egg noodles was served.
Xie Nancheng could smell the fragrance from a long distance away.
"It still has to be you, wife."
"I just like the taste of this, it's very special."
"Our company cafeteria can't even make food like this, it's so delicious."
"Just eat your food, why are you talking so much?"
Tu Ran smiled, took off her apron, and sat opposite Xie Nancheng.
Watching him eat quietly, Xie Nancheng is actually very elegant when eating. Although he has a bad temper, he pays attention to details.
At this time, Mu Wanjun sent a WeChat message.
Mu Wanjun: Sister, your husband is showing off again? Could you be pregnant?
Tu Ran: ? ?
Tu Ran: What’s going on?
Mu Wanjun's question made her a little confused.
Mu Wanjun: Didn’t you watch the news?
Mu Wanjun: No, didn’t you check your husband’s Moments?
Tu Ran: What circle of friends?
Mu Wanjun: To be exact, it was your husband’s circle of friends that was on the news. You should take a look. You are so slow to realize it, sister. What can I say about you?
Mu Wanjun is not a gossipy person, but she is particularly interested in gossip about her friends.
Tu Ran usually uses his mobile phone to make and receive calls. He has only a few friends on WeChat and rarely checks them.
After Mu Wanjun reminded her, she picked up her phone and opened her Moments.
After reading this...
She raised her head and looked at the man opposite her.
"Why are you taking pictures of me?" Tu Ran asked.
“The stillness is so beautiful, I can’t help myself.”
Tu Ran: ...
"Don't try to fool me." She obviously didn't believe it.
"What's wrong with you again?"
"You and I are newlyweds, so what's wrong with showing affection? How can you say it's crazy?" The boss didn't think much of it and ate the noodles with relish.
"Well, it's your right to post on Moments. After all, it's in your social circle."
"I'm just reminding you that this will cause some trouble." Tu Ran explained patiently.
Xie Nancheng raised his head, took out a tissue and wiped the corner of his mouth elegantly, "For example?"
"Your mother will be unhappy."
"Zhou Han will also be restless and continue to cause trouble."
"The Lin family probably can't stand seeing me living such a good life."
"Fu Yunni, who had a scandal with you, probably hates me to the core."
"And your aunt, uncles, and Jin Yu..."
"That's enough, Ranran." He raised his hand and interrupted her.
"If I'm afraid of wolves and tigers when I confess my love, then I don't need to live anymore."
"As a grown man, if you can't even handle such a small matter, what's the point of living here?"
"Do you really think I'm the second-generation rich kid who took over my dad's business? Is your husband a vegetarian?" Xie Nancheng asked this, but Tu Ran didn't know how to respond.
Maybe it's because of her personality, she has always been low-key, cautious and likes to keep a low profile.
Xie Nancheng has always been a favored child of heaven and the center of public attention. This combination itself is a contradiction.
So it's normal that he couldn't understand what she said.
“I don’t care what other people think or do.”
"Even if the sky falls and the world ends."
"Does it affect my love for you?"
Tu Ran: ...
"Okay, just forget I didn't say anything."
"That won't do. There's no way I can pretend you didn't say anything. You've ruined my mood for eating noodles." The boss started to find fault.
"So what do you want?"
"Just punish you for taking the initiative tonight."
Tu Ran blushed immediately, "Xie Nancheng, can you please be serious?"
"Of course I'm serious. I'm telling you this seriously. This is a top priority right now."
"Forget it, I'll ignore you. Just wash the dishes yourself after you finish eating."
Tu Ran felt that this guy was driving again and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
In Xiangcheng, on the other side, in an ordinary two-bedroom, one-living room residential building.
Qiao Kelan was busy making dinner for Xie Huaiyu.
The place where Qiao Kelan lived before was rather simple. It was a resettlement building. Not only was the environment bad, but the security in that area was also a bit poor. So after repeated persuasion from Xie Huaiyu, she rented a house again.
Originally, Xie Huaiyu planned to give her an apartment directly for her to live in.
But Qiao Kelan refused to accept it no matter what and was firm in his attitude.
In the end, I could only find a medium-sized community near the Third Ring Road and chose a well-decorated two-bedroom apartment.
"Two rooms are still a bit small."
Xie Huaiyu stood with his hands behind his back, just like the leader inspecting, looking around and finally coming to a conclusion.
"I'm already very satisfied."
"Huaiyu."
"If I hadn't reunited with you, I wouldn't be able to afford the rent here."
"I'm a woman, and I only earn a few thousand yuan working. After giving my daughter the living expenses every month, there is not much left. I can't even dream of living in a house like this." Qiao Kelan looked at Xie Huaiyu affectionately.
"Hey, I said I'd just give you a three-bedroom apartment."
"Although our family is not in the real estate business, in recent years, we have properties in all the prime locations in Xiangcheng. They are not villas and they don't cost much. Isn't it better than renting a house?" Xie Huaiyu frowned.
"Absolutely not, Huaiyu."
"You've already invested millions in me, and I feel like I owe you more than you can repay. If you give me a house, what does that even mean? Am I being kept by you?"
Xie Huaiyu's face flushed. "What are you talking about? I never said that."
"Of course you won't say it, but people's words are scary, and I have self-respect, Huaiyu."
"Now I just want to do my career well. Once I succeed, I will repay you for being so kind to me." Qiao Kelan's clothes were not fancy, but since she decided to wear the new Chinese cheongsam, she wore different styles of cheongsam.
Tonight she wore a peacock blue embroidered cheongsam with short sleeves, leaving her fair arms exposed.
There was a faint fragrance on her body, and her hair was very silky and thick, perhaps because she had just washed it.
It just happens to be in line with the aesthetic taste of older men...especially for Qiao Kelan himself, there is also a filter.
Under the orange light, Xie Huaiyu almost couldn't control his urge to hug her for a moment.
After all, although Qiao Kelan is over 50 years old, she still has charm.
Especially when she looks at you, those affectionate eyes make you feel that she is full of love for you.
This was a feeling that Mrs. Xie had never given him in all these years.
At this moment, the door opened.
The two took a step back awkwardly.
A young girl about twenty years old opened the door and walked in.
"Xiaoying, come here, let me introduce you. This is the Uncle Xie I mentioned to you."
The girl glanced at Xie Huaiyu and looked a little nervous in front of Xie's father.
He always knew that Qiao Kelan had a daughter with her ex-husband who was studying at a local university.
It was because this girl was studying at a university in Xiangcheng that Qiao Kelan returned to Xiangcheng.
But it was indeed the first time the two met.
"Hello, Uncle Xie." The girl greeted him with a smile, looking very polite.
"Huaiyu, this is my daughter, Xiaoying."
"Uncle Xie, my name is Han Mengying." The girl introduced herself.
"Hello." Xie Huaiyu nodded.
"Uncle Xie, thanks to your help this time, otherwise my mother and I would not be able to live in such a nice house. You are really our benefactor." The girl was very sweet-mouthed, calling him "Uncle" one by one, and Father Xie was very happy to hear it.
