At nine o'clock in the evening, Duan Ye drove his pickup truck back to the villa.
Nanny: "Sir, Miss is waiting for you on the rooftop. She said she'll have hot pot up there when you're ready."
Duan Ye smiled, his eyes softening instantly: "Go tell her I'll be right there."
After saying that, Duan Ye turned to Xiao Wu and the others and said, "You've all been busy all day, come on over."
Xiao Wu wouldn't dare, waving his hands repeatedly: "We won't go. Miss probably wants to have a heart-to-heart talk with you. We'll just eat on the first floor."
Duan Ye: "Is there anything to eat this late? Let's eat together."
After all, Xiao Wu and his men have been working with him for so long, it's normal for him to treat him to a meal.
The nanny quickly replied, "Yes, yes, everything is prepared. The home-cooked dishes are all kept warm in the pot."
The nanny smiled gently. Miss never mistreated her subordinates. Knowing that Xiao Wu would definitely not come to eat with Duan Ye, she simply asked them to prepare everything.
Seeing this, Duan Ye had no choice but to nod: "Alright, then do as you please. Just tell me what you need."
Xiao Wu nodded frantically, and Duan Ye turned around, changed into a more casual and comfortable set of clothes, and went up to the rooftop.
As soon as he arrived, he smelled a delicious aroma, which made him a little hungry. Looking up, he saw Luo Qingyuan wearing a set of pajamas and without makeup, putting vegetables into the pot.
"It's so cold, why aren't you wearing a coat?" Duan Ye walked towards Luo Qingyuan.
"It was a bit cold when we first arrived, but it's not cold now. Come on, let's have some hot pot to warm up..."
"Didn't Xiao Wu say that you guys had been squatting in the mountains for a long time?"
Duan Ye smiled and sat down beside Luo Qingyuan, reaching out to pull her into his arms, whereupon he was enveloped in her warm, soft embrace.
Luo Qingyuan patted his hand: "Stop fooling around, I'm cooking."
Duan Ye held the person tightly: "No rush."
"I just called Xiao Wu and the others to come up and eat together, it would be more lively, but they didn't come."
Luo Qingyuan smiled and said, "They would feel uncomfortable eating with us. I had someone prepare another set for them to eat on their own. We have both home-style dishes and hot pot."
Duan Ye nuzzled his wife's neck, inhaling her fragrance, and said contentedly, "You're so thoughtful."
Luo Qingyuan pushed the person away: "When have I ever been inconsiderate? Okay, let's eat."
Luo Qingyuan stood up, served Duan Ye a bowl of rice, and then cooked tripe, beef, and various vegetables for him. Duan Ye's taste was on the spicy side, but Luo Qingyuan's taste was actually on the milder side. However, after being with Duan Ye for so long, she was no longer so unable to handle spicy food.
While eating, Duan Ye said, "Actually, my brother lived with my grandmother when he was very young. My grandmother spent a long time in the south when she was young, and the food there is mainly spicy."
As Luo Qingyuan served him food, she seemed to suddenly realize something: "No wonder..."
"But it's pretty good."
"What's good?"
"As long as you like it, then it's fine."
After all, she could give Duan Ye whatever he liked to eat or whatever he wanted.
Duan Ye smiled; his stomach felt warm, and his heart seemed to feel warm as well.
"You're getting better and better at sweet-talking people, Sister Qingyuan."
Upon hearing this, Luo Qingyuan's smile became even sweeter, and she bent down to take out a bottle of wine from under the table.
While pouring the wine, Luo Qingyuan said, "I know you came here so that we can live in Kyoto without any worries, and I also know that Nanxing's situation is not your fault at all."
"Of course, I also understand that I shouldn't have come to Wenzhou, and I shouldn't have held a grudge about what happened with Nanxing in Bianhe. After all... Nanxing protected you with his life."
"but…"
Luo Qingyuan smiled calmly, but her eyes were a little red. She said, "These past two days, I've kept thinking, why can't it be me standing in front of you?"
Xiao Wu had just stepped in when he immediately pulled his foot back, caught in a dilemma.
He was carrying a plate with a fragrant roast chicken, which his brothers had roasted themselves in the yard. They asked him to bring it up for the young lady and her husband to try…
Upon hearing Luo Qingyuan's words, Xiao Wu couldn't help but sigh, and it was this sigh that brought Duan Ye and Luo Qingyuan back to their senses.
Xiao Wu then went inside.
"I wasn't eavesdropping on purpose. I came to deliver roast chicken, and I just happened to overhear..."
Luo Qingyuan's expression instantly changed.
"Since you're here, let's sit down and have something to eat."
Duan Ye nodded: "Sit down."
Xiao Wu sat down and then said, "Miss, although I shouldn't interrupt, I still want to say something..."
Luo Qingyuan looked at him calmly: "Go ahead."
Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Nanxing survived this time because her heart is unusually located on the right side. If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have been able to be saved."
"If it had been you standing in front of the son-in-law that day..."
"Then the person sitting with your son-in-law right now, eating hotpot and sharing their secrets, won't be you."
After Xiao Wu finished speaking, he sensed that Luo Qingyuan's expression was somewhat... like the calm before the storm?
then…
Xiao Wu quickly stood up, then turned around and walked out without looking back.
"I talk too much, I'm reflecting on myself..."
The moment the words left his mouth, he vanished.
Luo Qingyuan: "..."
Duan Ye couldn't help but laugh as he watched Xiao Wu flee in such a hurry.
Luo Qingyuan glared at him: "You're still laughing!"
Duan Ye put down his chopsticks and pulled the person into his arms.
"Xiao Wu has a point."
Duan Ye: "I know what you're worried about. To be honest, when Nanxing was taken into the emergency room, I was worried too, even scared..."
“I was terrified that Nanxing would just pass away like that. What would I do then? I would owe her for the rest of my life… Those few hours outside the emergency room were truly agonizing.”
“But when Nanxing was out of danger, I finally felt relieved. I thought... thank goodness she's alive. As long as she's alive, my husband and I can slowly repay everything we owe her.”
Luo Qingyuan listened, her eyes reddening slightly.
Yes, the couple can pay it back slowly.
It can compensate Nanxing, ensure that Nanxing will have no rivals in the entertainment industry, and ensure that the Nan family will have no enemies in Kyoto in the future.
“I heard you came to Wenzhou, and I was very worried. Jiang Jingwen is ruthless. I know you won’t be in danger under my sister-in-law’s watchful eye, but I don’t dare to gamble.”
"The moment I held you in my arms, I felt so grateful... so grateful that you were still safe and sound in my arms."
Duan Ye gently rubbed Luo Qingyuan's face and pinched it twice: "So, this ending is the best. Don't think about it anymore, okay?"
It was only when facing Luo Qingyuan that Duan Ye was so patient in explaining.
He wouldn't bother saying so much to anyone else.
Luo Qingyuan smiled and snuggled into his arms, hugging his waist, and nodded emphatically: "Okay!"
Holding this person in her arms, Luo Qingyuan sighed contentedly, "So good, so good..."
They embraced in late autumn. Luo Qingyuan had originally thought that this incident would create some distance between them.
But now…
Luo Qingyuan was extremely satisfied.
She's actually super easy to please.
