Chapter 621 They look a bit like a newlywed couple.
Since it was still early, Qi Yue said he would take Shen Anning to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities and also show her around the area to familiarize her with the surroundings.
With Qi Yue around, Shen Anning doesn't have to worry about anything.
If you walk about 100 meters to the right after leaving the residential area, you'll find the subway station. If you walk less than 200 meters to the left, you'll find a commercial street with a large supermarket.
Beijing is a northern city, and by early September there was already a chill in the air of early autumn.
The golden ginkgo leaves shimmered with a golden-red glow in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Qi Yue and Shen Anning strolled hand in hand under the ginkgo tree.
Shen Anning held a golden ginkgo leaf in her other hand and played with it. "This ginkgo leaf would look great as a bookmark after it's been pressed and molded!"
Qi Yue glanced at her, a slight smile playing on his lips. "If you like, I'll make you a basketful."
“You’re the busy CEO Qi now, how could I possibly ask you to do such childish little things for me? Besides, I can make these bookmarks myself.”
Qi Yue didn't say anything more, but he had already made a decision in his heart.
...
The two filled an entire shopping cart with items. Fortunately, this supermarket was considerate and offered home delivery for an extra fee.
After paying, Qi Yue took Shen Anning back home first.
Back in the suite, the items were delivered quickly.
Qi Yue and Shen Anning worked together to unpack and organize the household items one by one.
As they arranged these things together, Shen Anning couldn't help but think to herself: They do look a bit like a newlywed couple.
By the time we finished tidying up, it was completely dark outside.
Qi Yue washed some cherries and handed them to Shen Anning, saying, "Here, go watch TV in the living room."
Shen Anning took the plate and looked at him with a grin, "Although I can't cook, I can wash vegetables!"
"No need for you." Qi Yue ruffled her hair. "The steak is ready soon; all the ingredients are readily available."
"Steak should be paired with red wine?"
Qi Yue paused. "You want to drink?"
"The atmosphere needs to be right!" Shen Anning paused, then added, "However, we seem to have forgotten to buy red wine!"
"You'd better not drink," Qi Yue said seriously. "You've never drunk alcohol before."
“I’ve had it!” Shen Anning said. “I had two drinks with my brother at home a few days ago!”
Qi Yue was somewhat surprised, "Two cups of what?"
"Red wine!" Shen Anning said with a hint of pride. "I finished two glasses of red wine and I'm perfectly fine!"
Are you sure?
"If you don't believe me, how about we take a gamble tonight?"
Qi Yue chuckled softly, "Alright, I'll trust you this once. I'll have someone send it over now."
“Okay!” Shen Anning nodded with some anticipation.
Qi Yue called Luo Dongjin.
Even though it's in Beijing, it's not difficult for the CEO of Ronghao Group to get two bottles of red wine.
In less than half an hour, the local courier delivered the wine.
Shen Anning was both amused and exasperated when she saw the packaging.
A bottle of Château Margaux 2009 red wine from the renowned French estate costs over ten thousand yuan.
They even gave away three boxes at once.
Six bottles in total!
The deliveryman dropped off the items and left.
Shen Anning closed the door, turned around, and went into the kitchen.
Qi Yue was standing in front of the kitchen counter wearing an apron. He was tall and had long legs. Even his back view was so handsome that it was hard to look away.
Shen Anning walked behind him, raised her arms and hugged him, her small hands tracing the man's perfect abdominal muscles through the fabric of his shirt.
Even through the fabric, Qi Yue still couldn't quite bear it.
His Adam's apple bobbed a few times, and he asked, feigning composure, "The wine has arrived?"
"Hmm." Shen Anning turned to the side, tilting her head to look at him. "You gave away six bottles of red wine that cost over ten thousand yuan each. Qi Yue, can we be a little more discreet?"
"Is this too high-profile?" Qi Yue looked at her, his lips curving into a low smile. "I originally planned to buy this house, but Aunt Shen and Uncle Fu stopped me. They said you'll only be studying at Peking University for four years, so it's unnecessary."
"Thank goodness my parents stopped you!" Shen Anning said, both amused and exasperated. "I know you're not short of money, but even if we have money, we can't be this reckless. I don't plan to develop my career in Beijing in the future, so buying a house would be such a waste."
“Well, that’s why I didn’t buy it,” Qi Yue said. “But I rented the apartment downstairs, just like yours, and signed a four-year contract.”
Why?
"Your girlfriends are coming the day after tomorrow." Qi Yue looked at her with deep eyes. He didn't say anything more, but Shen Anning hesitated for a moment before realizing what he meant.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she raised her hand to gently slap Qi Yue. "Don't keep running to the capital for no reason. You've only just taken over Ronghao, so don't let this beauty of yours interfere with your plans for the future!"
Qi Yue was amused by her words, lowered his head, and gently tapped her forehead with his own. "You little ingrate, I haven't even left yet, and you're already telling me not to keep coming to see you. What? Are you really that willing to part with me?"
"I'm reluctant to let go, but it's only temporary!" Shen Anning tiptoed and kissed his cheek. "Although we've been in a long-distance relationship for the past four years, we can still video chat on the phone, and sometimes I'll take some time on weekends to go back and see you!"
When it comes to coaxing people, Shen Anning's words never disappoint.
She was like this when she was little, and now that she's grown up, when she's in love, she just spouts sweet words and sugar-coated bullets without hesitation.
Qi Yue knew that this was just her personality; she treated all her friends and family like this, always knowing how to provide emotional support, and it wasn't just him. But he was still repeatedly charmed by her.
Because before him, Shen Anning was a little princess who grew up surrounded by love. Her core was full of loving energy, which is why she could so energetically express love to those around her every day.
Qi Yue knew how good she was, and therefore cherished her even more.
...
While Qi Yue was setting the table, Shen Anning had already opened the red wine and poured it into a decanter to let it breathe.
If you have candles, you can have a candlelight dinner while you're at it.
But since it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, and the two weren't particularly interested in romance, they simply sat down face to face and began to enjoy the meal.
Imported premium steak paired with red wine—this dinner is perfect enough.
After taking a few bites of steak, Shen Anning couldn't wait to raise her glass. "First glass, to my boyfriend. Thank you for your hard work today!"
Qi Yue put down his knife and fork, picked up his wine glass, and gently clinked glasses with hers.
"You're too kind, girlfriend."
Shen Anning smiled sweetly, raised her chin, and took a small sip of red wine.
The taste was a little different from the Lafite she had last time. Perhaps because Qi Yue was there, she even found the wine to be somewhat sweet.
I couldn't resist tilting my head back and taking another big gulp.
Qi Yue's brow twitched as he looked at her. "Slow down. You've only eaten a few bites of steak. You'll get drunk if you drink so fast."
"No, I lost a bet with my brother last time. One cup at a time, I had two and I'm perfectly fine!" Shen Anning put down her glass, looked at Qi Yue, and raised her eyebrows slightly. "Besides, even if I get drunk, you'll take care of me. I'm not afraid!"
Qi Yue: "..."
