During a break in the TV program, Cheng Qicai went to the kitchen refrigerator and took out a bottle of ice water to drink.
"Seven Colors, is the chicken ready?" Ms. Yun said to her while stir-frying the vegetables.
Cheng Qicai put down her phone and the water, opened the clay pot, scooped a piece into a bowl with a spoon, and tested it. "It's ready."
"Unplug it, ladle out the soup and take it out." Ms. Yun placed the ladleful of food in her direction. "Take the food out with you, your dad will be back soon."
"Oh, wait a minute."
Ms. Yun's stewed chicken was quite good today. After tasting one, she scooped up another to eat.
Ms. Yun went to get the scallions.
"How many times have I told you? You keep leaving your phone lying around everywhere. If you break it, it'll start yelling again." Ms. Yun picked up her phone from the table and prepared to put it on the shelf behind her.
As soon as she picked it up, she saw a rather handsome young man on her phone screen, with the background looking like a cafeteria.
She frowned, her eyes questioning, "Who is this boy?"
Cheng Qicai's gaze fell on her phone, and she swallowed the chicken in her mouth. "Nobody, it was sent by Wu Jieyu, a junior from their school."
Wu Jieyu said she met a very handsome junior in the cafeteria who looked a bit like a celebrity, and asked him to send her a picture of him so she could admire him.
She had just glanced at it and hadn't even looked at it closely when Ms. Yun saw it.
Why did she send you this?
"Send it to me!" Cheng Qicai served herself another bowl of soup.
"Don't you dare learn from her fickle nature, you hear?" Ms. Yun warned worriedly, thinking of Wu Jieyu's character.
"oh."
Seeing that Cheng Qicai didn't seem to be listening, Ms. Yun continued, "Although Xiaoqi's father is a problem, Xiaoqi is quite sincere. He's already fallen out with his family. As for you... you shouldn't have those kinds of thoughts anymore."
Cheng Qicai was completely confused. She could understand why Ms. Yun was afraid that she would be hurt by Gu Rongqi.
But now she's afraid she'll hurt Gu Rongqi, which she can't understand.
If the two of them were separated, Gu Rongqi's life would definitely be a thousand times better than his!
Now Ms. Yun's heart is completely with Gu Rongqi.
Gu Rongqi is just too good at acting in front of Ms. Yun, making her seem like she's a complete scoundrel in Ms. Yun's eyes.
She said those things before just to get Ms. Yun to agree to her nonsense, but she didn't expect Ms. Yun to still remember them!
"Did you hear that?" Seeing that Cheng Qicai didn't react, Ms. Yun's voice became stern.
"I heard you." She nodded in agreement.
She was about to take the chicken soup out when she saw Gu Rongqi walk in.
"Xiao Qi, would you like some chicken soup? The soup I made today tastes pretty good," Ms. Yun immediately asked, her expression changing.
Gu Rongqi smiled and shook his head, "No, thank you, Auntie."
He and Cheng Qicai took the dishes out and placed them on the dining table.
Cheng Qicai sat back on the sofa and drank her chicken soup. She pushed the bowl toward Gu Rongqi and said, "It's delicious, why don't you try some?"
Gu Rongqi glanced at her, then lowered his head and drank a mouthful of chicken soup from her bowl.
"Is it good?"
“It’s delicious,” Gu Rong nodded, then asked, “What were you talking about with the auntie in the kitchen just now?”
Cheng Qicai paused in her sip of chicken soup. She leaned over to look at Gu Rongqi, her gaze sweeping across his face as if trying to discern something.
His expressionless face revealed no emotion.
But Cheng Qicai smiled, put the bowl in her hand on the table, and looked at him again.
She said jokingly, "Stop pretending. You were definitely hiding outside eavesdropping just now. You heard everything."
Seeing that Cheng Qicai had exposed him, Gu Rongqi showed no embarrassment whatsoever. "Well, but I want to hear what you have to say."
"What did I say?" Cheng Qicai was puzzled. Her conversation with Ms. Yun hadn't touched any sensitive spots for him, had it?
Gu Rongqi was silent for a moment before speaking, "Why..."
The door opened, and Mr. Cheng walked back in. "Qicai, I bought roast duck today..."
Ms. Yun also came out of the kitchen, saying, "Dinner's ready."
Their conversation was interrupted by their words.
Cheng Qicai and Gu Rongqi accompanied Ms. Yun and Mr. Cheng through dinner before returning home.
They went back late because there weren't many cars on the road at night.
The two stopped at a red light. Cheng Qicai looked at a car in front of them and said to Gu Rongqi, "I think that car is pretty good. What do you think?"
This is the car that Cheng Qicai wanted to buy.
So she explained the car's configuration, model, and functions, hoping to get Gu Rongqi's opinion.
"You want to buy this car?" Gu Rongqi asked, looking at her.
"Yes, after looking at so many, I think this car is pretty good. I can drive myself wherever I want to go in the future," Cheng Qicai said enthusiastically.
Gu Rongqi said calmly, "I can take you there."
Don't you have busy times too?
“I have extra cars in my garage, you can go and pick one.”
"No need, I have enough money to buy a car." Cheng Qicai immediately refused when she thought of Gu Rongqi's car.
Although his car looks unassuming, anyone who knows a bit about cars can tell that it's quite valuable.
It's too high-profile to let her drive that kind of car.
Gu Rongqi didn't say anything more.
Cheng Qicai looked at him. The dim yellow light outside made him look unhappy, and the air felt somewhat oppressive.
Cheng Qicai couldn't figure out what went wrong either. Didn't she just say she wanted to buy a car?
Is this something to be angry about?
They say a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea, but when a man gets angry, she feels it's not much different.
