Chapter 148
After leaving the supermarket, Xiao Peiyin hurried back to the hospital without stopping. She glanced at her watch and saw that she had been out for nearly half an hour. She didn't want to keep Gu Cunxi waiting too long, so she drove very fast. Cheng Sheng, who had been sitting next to her, had been silent since they got in the car. Just as she was about to ask, she heard Cheng Sheng say, "Sister Peiyin, don't you have anything you want to ask me?"
While waiting for the red light, Xiao Peiyin was stunned for a moment and said softly, "What are you asking? About the new product promotion? Or about you and Jiang Rao?" She didn't intend to ask, but Cheng Sheng looked like he wanted to say something. After waiting for a while, he heard her ask, "Do you mind me and Jiang Rao?"
Xiao Peiyin didn't understand the word "mind". She frowned in confusion and asked, "Why should I mind the relationship between you and Jiang Rao?"
"Before, between you..."
Xiao Peiyin immediately understood that she and Jiang Rao had some unpleasantness because of Cunxi before. Cheng Sheng asked this probably because he was afraid that she would have some opinions about Jiang Rao because of this.
The green light just came on, Xiao Peiyin turned and drove into the left lane, then answered Cheng Sheng's question: "I don't mind!" Then, she freed a hand and tapped Cheng Sheng's forehead: "What are you thinking about? Why do you think I mind? Dating is your own business, it's your freedom. What matters most is that you like and are happy."
"Besides, I don't have any bad thoughts towards Jiang Rao. The previous unpleasantness was just because I was jealous that she could be with Cunxi. She is a good person, and I don't hate her! Don't think too much, just have a good relationship that belongs to you!"
"Yeah!" Cheng Sheng laughed heartily, as if relieved of a heavy burden, and explained: "Actually... I care about your thoughts, so I am afraid that you will dislike her because of what happened before..." Cheng Sheng knew that she should not have such thoughts. After all, Sister Pei Yin was such a gentle and soft person, always generous and polite. She would not really mind Jiang Rao's hostility towards her in the past and keep it in her heart.
"Silly girl, no!" Xiao Peiyin smiled and stroked her hair to comfort her: "I'm so happy for you two to be together!"
Cheng Sheng looked out the window shyly, and her face turned red when she thought of Jiang Rao.
When we returned to the hospital, the two people in the ward were sitting there playing their own games. When the door opened, they looked up at the same time, their eyes brightened.
"Xiao Peipei." Gu Cunxi put down his phone and held out his hand. Xiao Peiyin walked over and took his hand, putting the fruit aside. "Have you been waiting for a long time? I bought your favorite cherries. Do you want some?"
"Yes!"
Jiang Rao rolled his eyes, stood up, and walked over to Cheng Sheng with his bag: "It's so bright in the room, a little dazzling, let's go!" Cheng Sheng pursed his lips, nodded, and hooked his little finger with Jiang Rao.
Gu Cunxi was eating some fruit. He looked at the two of them and handed over the cherries in his hand. Jiang Rao waved his hand and said, "Someone bought these specially for you. I'm afraid you'll get an upset stomach if you eat them." He turned to Cheng Sheng and said, "What do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you!"
Cheng Sheng felt sweet in his heart, and was just thinking about it when he was interrupted by Gu Cunxi: "Xiao Peipei, I want to eat pomegranates!"
Xiao Peiyin smiled, tucked the loose hair behind her ears, and took out a pomegranate: "I'll peel it for you, you eat the cherries first."
Jiang Rao couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he pulled Cheng Sheng out. Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something, hesitated for a few seconds, and turned to Xiao Peiyin and said, "I just went to the bathroom, and the nurses at the station were looking for the family. It should be a matter of reducing the dosage of the medicine, and they wanted to talk to you!"
"I see. I'll go to the nurse's station then." He turned to look at Gu Cunxi and said, "Wait for me, I'll be back soon."
Gu Cunxi nodded
The three of them went out together, and just as they were about to go to the nurse's station, Jiang Rao stopped them and said, "No one is looking for you at the nurse's station. I have something to tell you."
Thinking it was about the case, Xiao Peiyin nodded. The three of them found a secluded place, and Jiang Rao finally spoke: "Jiang Zongyuan has sorted out all the information. He filed a case last Friday and submitted the materials to the court. Because the case has been going on for a long time, the review process will be relatively troublesome, but the final result will definitely be what you want!"
"I know you can't leave, so I'll follow up on some issues that need to be discussed!"
"Thank you! This time, thanks to you, you can talk about the fees later..." Before he could finish, Jiang Rao interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "The money is easy to talk about. I will talk to Jiang Zongyuan after the case is over!"
Cheng Sheng stood aside and felt uncomfortable when she heard Jiang Zongyuan's name. Jiang Rao also paid attention to Cheng Sheng's mood while talking, worried that she would be sulking alone again. Jiang Rao said a few words in a hurry and pulled Cheng Sheng out of the hospital.
Cheng Sheng didn't show it, but Jiang Rao could sense her gloomy expression. Seeing her sitting in the passenger seat in a daze, Jiang Rao leaned over, hooked his long arm around her seat belt and fastened it for her. Without moving away, he kept a close distance and asked with a smile, "What's going on in your little head?"
The scent of orange blossoms all over his body made Cheng Sheng's breathing difficult. He licked his lips and said, "Nothing, just..."
"Um?"
"Jiang Zongyuan was the one who hugged you that day, right?"
Seeing her sour expression, Jiang Rao laughed out loud, then immediately stopped and replied: "Yeah, it's him." Seeing Cheng Sheng's eyes darken, Jiang Rao sighed, clasped her shoulders, and pulled her into his arms: "How about this, I'll try to communicate with him by phone. If we want to meet, I'll take you with me, okay?"
"It's okay, I won't disturb you from working. If you want to meet, I'll go to the door to protect you, but you can't drink with him!" Cheng Sheng said word by word, his voice sometimes soft and sometimes hard, especially the last sentence, which sounded a bit tough. Jiang Rao's heart softened after hearing it, and he tightened his grip: "Okay! I promise you, I won't drink, not with men!"
"Women too..." Cheng Sheng muttered, then quickly retracted his words. After thinking about it, it seemed a bit too unreasonable. She was a lawyer, she had to discuss cases and occasionally needed to drink.
Jiang Rao knew the second half of Cheng Sheng's unspoken sentence and said it for her: "Women are not allowed either, but what if I want to drink with you?"
"I can!" Cheng Sheng blurted out, his words were soft and domineering. Jiang Rao looked at the girl's profile, his heart warmed, his fair skin was stained a little red because of shyness, and his jawline clearly separated the red and white. From her angle, the red lips were slightly raised, and the girl's thick and long eyelashes could be seen blinking, and her peach blossom eyes were slightly curved, which made people itch.
Jiang Rao moved closer, wanting to touch the corner of the girl's lips, but she moved away when he got close. He stopped a centimeter away from her ear, pursed his lips, and whispered, "Stay with me tonight! Come to my house."
Cheng Sheng paused for breath, bit the inside of her lower lip, and nodded. She didn't know what Jiang Rao meant by "accompany"? Accompany her to drink, or stay with her...
No matter which one it was, she had no reason to refuse. In fact, she didn't leave that day and stayed at Jiang Rao's place overnight, sleeping in the guest room. Jiang Rao was polite and well-mannered. During this time, they only held hands. Cheng Sheng couldn't help but wonder if she really wasn't attractive enough, so she didn't have any other ideas...
In the evening, Jiang Rao cooked for the first time, and Cheng Sheng helped her.
Peel two cloves of garlic
"The shrimp thread is left to you."
Cheng Sheng took it and peeled the garlic happily. After peeling the garlic, he went to pick the shrimp thread. Jiang Rao was looking for a recipe next to her. In fact, she hadn't cooked for many years. Since Jiang Shu opened a western restaurant, she almost had dinner there. For some reason, she wanted to cook it again today.
Seeing Cheng Sheng walking around in the kitchen, Jiang Rao felt sweet in his heart. Suddenly, the deserted house was filled with the smell of fireworks and the feeling of home.
"I've processed the shrimp thread. Anything else?" Cheng Sheng handed over a basin of shrimp. Jiang Rao looked down and praised her with satisfaction: "You picked it very carefully."
Cheng Sheng smiled gently, her dimples were shallow and bright. Jiang Rao was stunned for two seconds, looked at the ingredients and said, "There's nothing left to cook. I can start now. Go to the living room and wait for me!"
Jiang Rao turned around and started the fire, putting the ingredients aside. Suddenly, he felt a heat on his waist. Jiang Rao paused and tilted his head slightly: "Didn't I ask you to wait for me in the living room? The kitchen is full of fumes." Cheng Sheng leaned on her shoulder and shook his head slightly: "I'll accompany you."
"But... if you hold me like this, I won't be able to move."
A doting tone
Cheng Sheng reacted and stayed for a few seconds before reluctantly letting go of his hand and standing behind Jiang Rao.
Cheng Sheng brought each dish to the table, then returned to the kitchen to watch her from behind. The royal blue shirt and home clothes were loosely draped over her, giving her a sense of laziness. The back of her neck was exposed, revealing her delicate and fair complexion, and her perfect neck and shoulder lines. As she moved, you could see a little muscle line hidden under the shirt, which was very soft and powerful.
The back of the figure hooked her, wanting to walk up to her and press tightly against her, rubbing into her body. Cheng Sheng was stunned when he saw it. Jiang Rao served the last dish, turned around and met her burning gaze, and his heart paused.
"Sister..." Cheng Sheng couldn't help but
Jiang Rao's hand tilted, and the steak on the plate almost slipped off. It took him several seconds to calm down the heat in his heart. His throat was dry, and he squeezed out a "hmm" from his throat.
Hmm, low and hoarse
Cheng Sheng waited in silence, waiting for the girl to continue. Seeing her take two steps forward, Jiang Rao held his breath and swallowed, thinking she would hug him, or...
Unexpectedly, Cheng Sheng just took the plate from her hand and said with a smile: "It smells so good!"
“…”
Jiang Rao doted on her forehead and said, "Cute cat, go to the dining table and wait for me. I'll go get some wine from the wine cabinet."
As we walked, he asked, "Do you like red wine or foreign wine?"
Cheng Sheng placed the dishes on the table and replied, "Red, right?"
Red wine is good for the skin, she thought
Shrimp made vegetable salad, two steaks, borscht, pan-fried longli fish, bacon and bamboo shoots. Cheng Sheng sat in a chair, looking at the table full of sumptuous Western food, and secretly decided to learn how to cook from tomorrow.
Suddenly, light music sounded in the room. Cheng Sheng turned his head and saw a slender woman holding a wine glass, walking towards him with the lyrical music. Her long curly hair was charming and charming. Under the light, her charming face was faintly smiling.
Cheng Sheng was stunned, watching her approach, his eyes following her movements. Jiang Rao stood beside her, stared at her for a few seconds, put down the glass, skillfully opened the red wine, poured it into the glass, and sat across from her.
The atmosphere was extremely heated for a moment. The dishes on the table lost their color after she sat down. Nothing could compare to her beauty.
"Eat first and see how my cooking skills are. I haven't cooked in many years. I learned these dishes at my sister's restaurant." Jiang Rao said as she cut the steak. Cheng Sheng looked at her and praised: "Although we haven't eaten it yet, it smells delicious!"
Jiang Rao cut the steak on the plate and exchanged it with Cheng Sheng: "Eat this, it's cut." Before Cheng Sheng could react, the basket in front of him was replaced. Cheng Sheng originally wanted to cut it and exchange it with Jiang Rao, but she got there first.
The steak tasted just right, not too red, nor too old. Cheng Sheng took a bite, and the black pepper filled his mouth with a hint of sweetness.
Not the sweetness from the sauce
It's in my heart
Jiang Rao wanted to ask how the steak was, but when he looked up, he saw the girl eating it with big mouthfuls, looking very satisfied. He didn't say anything back. The answer was obvious: Cheng Sheng liked it very much.
Cheng Sheng completely forgot about his eating manners. He was no longer as slow and measured as before. He didn't swallow a piece of steak and put another piece into his mouth. Seeing the steak disappearing quickly, Cheng Sheng realized that his eating manners were not very good.
She looked up suddenly, and saw Jiang Rao looking at her with a smile on his face, and the curve of his mouth couldn't disappear.
Putting down his knife and fork, Cheng Sheng scratched his forehead and said softly, "I...seem to have eaten too hastily. It's delicious!"
--belch
“!”
Cheng Sheng suddenly covered his stomach, unable to believe that this was the sound she made. He looked at Jiang Rao again, and his smile became even wider.
