Chapter 65 Chapter 65 Princess
After returning from the supermarket, Zhao Qingshi rolled up his sleeves to help Ruan Xiangyi wash the vegetables and cut them into pieces. Aunt Cui watched from outside for a while, then went back to her room without saying a word, leaving them some space to be alone.
First peel the tomatoes and cut them into pieces for later use. After the oil is hot, sauté the minced garlic until fragrant and then pour the tomatoes in. After adding the seasonings, cover the pot and simmer for a few minutes. After the tomatoes are fried to release the juice, add a bowl of water. After the tomato soup is cooked, you can add the noodles. Cook for a few minutes and when the noodles are cooked, you can add some vegetables you like. She added two fried eggs, beef rolls, and vegetables.
"Help me get two bowls."
Ruan Xiangyi carved out a small half bowl for herself and gave him the rest. After washing the pot, the two of them sat in the dining room. Zhao Qingshi lowered his head and took a bite. Every strand of noodle was dripping with broth, and the rich tomato flavor was very appetizing. Only then did he feel his stomach empty.
Ruan Xiangyi sat next to him and took a bite of the egg. The sweet and sour taste made her feel a little nauseous. After a few mouthfuls of noodles, she felt tired and looked at him with her head in her hands. He didn't talk much during the meal, a sign of table manners he'd been taught since childhood. He ate his noodles gracefully. When Ruan Xiangyi saw that his bowl was empty, she asked, "Want more?"
Zhao Qingshi looked at her bowl. She had only taken half a bite of the egg and barely touched the noodles. "You're not eating anymore?"
Ruan Xiangyi shook her head: "I don't know why, but this smell makes me want to vomit."
Zhao Qingshi directly took her bowl and Ruan Xiangyi exclaimed, "I've eaten."
"I don't mind." After saying that, he took a bite of the egg she had left.
After swallowing, he remembered something and couldn't help teasing her: "Xiangyi, we've kissed so many times, why are you shy?"
"That's different." For her, eating each other's leftovers was a very intimate and ambiguous way of showing affection.
"What's the difference? They're both eating each other's saliva."
“…”
Ruan Xiangyi was shocked by his words. How could he say it so bluntly and rudely? Her face flushed: "I won't talk to you anymore. Clean up after eating. I'm going to take a shower."
After saying that, Zhao Qingshi ran upstairs in his cotton slippers and laughed softly.
Before going to bed, Zhao Qingshi received a call from Xia Li. They talked about Zhang Qi for almost half an hour. Ruan Xiangyi put down the phone and saw him coming over: "Are you talking about Zhang Qi?"
Zhao Qingshi lifted the quilt and lay down: "Yeah."
"I'm sorry to trouble Xia Li." She lowered her eyes.
Zhao Qingshi: "Hmm?"
"fine."
"Do you know how much salary I pay her?" Zhao Qingshi asked.
"Can you tell me?"
"Of course," Zhao Qingshi said. "She only has a bachelor's degree, and the minimum standard for recruitment in the Human Resources Department now is a master's degree. If she can't even do this, what's the point of having her here?"
She almost forgot that behind his gentle side, he was also a capitalist.
"Xia Li must be very capable at work to have your approval."
Zhao Qingshi was not very happy: "Why don't you say that I have a keen eye and found a good seedling."
Ruan Xiangyi perfunctorily said: "Yes, yes, you are also very good."
That night, Ruan Xiangyi had a nightmare. She lay in the hospital bed, hugging the quilt and crying. Suddenly, a dazzling light shone on her face. It was Zhao Qingshi who turned on the bedroom light: "Xiangyi?"
Ruan Xiangyi opened her moist eyes, saw that it was him, and threw herself into his arms. Zhao Qingshi hugged her quilt and coaxed her gently: "Are you having a nightmare? It's okay, it's all fake."
"I dreamed that the baby was gone." She nervously placed his hand on her belly. "Feel it, he's still there, right?"
"It was just a dream. The child is fine. Don't worry. The doctor said the child is fine."
"Really."
"Really, I never lie to you."
Afraid they'd worry, she'd been forcing herself to stay calm all day. Only after this dream did she finally realize what had happened. She was so frightened she sobbed, hugging Zhao Qingshi. He patiently soothed her, waiting for her to calm down. An hour later, Zhao Qingshi wiped her tears. He glanced at the clock: it was only six o'clock. Ruan Xiangyi had recovered, exhausted, and extra clingy.
"Go to sleep, I'll stay with you." Today is the weekend and he doesn't have to go to the company.
Ruan Xiangyi hugged him tightly.
March 13th was Ruan Xiangyi's birthday. After Zhao Qingshi left for work, she went to the library to study all day and didn't return until four in the afternoon. On the way, she received a call from Zhao Qingshi, saying that he had booked a restaurant and would pick her up later for dinner.
After hanging up the phone, Ruan Xiangyi was vaguely looking forward to what kind of surprise he would prepare for her. She put on some light makeup and lip gloss. Because she was young and had a good foundation, she looked good even with a simple touch. She chose a pink off-the-shoulder knit dress that was a bit figure-flattering. The skirt was long and reached to her ankles, and she wore it over a white coat.
I looked left and right in the mirror and it seemed okay. After hesitating for a while, I still chose this one.
At this time, Zhao Qingshi came back and walked into the bedroom just in time to see the scene in front of the mirror in the dressing room. He walked over, leaned against the door and watched quietly for a while. Ruan Xiangyi looked up and was almost scared by him.
"When did you come back?"
"Just now." How long had he been standing there? Did he see the whole scene of her showing off?
"Well..." She was a little embarrassed, "Aren't we going to eat?" Of course she had to dress nicely for dinner.
Zhao Qingshi chuckled: "Very beautiful."
Ruan Xiangyi was embarrassed.
He walked over to help her get her shoes and asked her which pair she would wear today. Ruan Xiangyi pointed to the pair of furry flat shoes. Zhao Qingshi picked up the shoes, squatted in front of her, helped her take off her slippers, and carefully put the shoes on.
He led her to the makeup mirror. She sat in a chair. Zhao Qingshi remarked that her neck felt a little empty. Before she could say anything, he, like a magic trick, draped a piece of jewelry around her neck. She immediately recognized the largest diamond in the middle as the pink diamond he had bought at auction. Under the light, it shone brightly. She turned her head, and before she could open her mouth, she heard him say, "It suits you very well."
More than 100 million...
Ruan Xiangyi looked at herself in the mirror. Her skin was as white as cream, her teeth were white, her eyes were bright. She looked completely different from the way she looked a few months ago. "Isn't that too ostentatious?"
"There are only two of us in the restaurant today." Zhao Qingshi curled his lips, bent down and took her hand gentlemanly, "Princess, I will serve you tonight."
Ruan Xiangyi pinched the corner of her clothes, her cheeks flushed. She looked at him in the mirror.
He was wearing a black tuxedo today, his hair combed up with hairspray. His facial features were distinct, and every part of him was just the right amount of handsome. His eyes were narrow and he stared at her with a playful smile.
Why is he so bewitching tonight?
Ruan Xiangyi covered her heart and offered one hand, but he grabbed it and held it to her chest. Then he put his arm around her waist. Before he could say anything, she stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips.
