Chapter 2040 Nourishing the body in advance
Shi Chenyuan's request was very simple, not even a request.
He said that if Xiaoyu really decided to help Aunt Yan, then she should just pretend to help Yan Hao in front of Aunt Yan. In private, she should keep a distance from Yan Hao, be vigilant towards Yan Hao, and try not to be alone with him.
Even though he believed that Yan Hao came to Xiaoyu for help only for his mother and had no ulterior motives, he still had to be on guard.
After Shi Chenyuan finished speaking, Cheng Xiaoyu asked, "Is that all?"
In fact, even if Shi Chenyuan didn't say it, Cheng Xiaoyu would do the same thing. She just didn't expect Shi Chenyuan's attitude to be so gentle.
She felt her heart soften instantly.
Shi Chenyuan glanced at her and said, "What else can I ask for?"
"I thought you would be unhappy and would make some demands on me... like how long it should take, what you can and cannot do, and so on..."
Shi Chenyuan sighed: "You are not a child anymore, and you have good judgment. Do you still need me to remind you? Besides, there is no point in me setting those rules for you."
Cheng Xiaoyu blinked and looked at him, "Mr. Shi, is it because you are older that you are so mature?"
"I've been like this since I was a kid. Age has nothing to do with it." He paused, then revealed the look of an older brother worried about his naive younger sister. "I told you. Remember?"
Cheng Xiaoyu nodded immediately: "Don't worry, Mr. Shi, I will pay attention, don't worry."
Shi Chenyuan looked at her and shook his head helplessly, "Then I'll go to the company. You should be more self-disciplined and don't skip work. Once everything is fine at the hospital, come to work obediently. Do you hear me?"
Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and hugged Shi Chenyuan's arm, "Mr. Shi, why are you so nice?"
He snorted deliberately: "Now you won't say that I exploited you and oppressed you?"
Cheng Xiaoyu shook Shi Chenyuan's arm again and said, "I was just joking, why did you take it so seriously?"
"Okay, I'm going to work, you should go in quickly."
He turned to leave, and Cheng Xiaoyu grabbed his arm again: "Boss Shi, don't you want to ask me how I decided this?"
Shi Chenyuan patted her shoulder and said, "Just do what you think is right. I believe in you."
The words "I believe you" almost broke Cheng Xiaoyu's defense.
She had thought that Shi Chenyuan was so possessive that he definitely didn't want her to have any connection with her ex-boyfriend, and he would never agree to her pretending to get back together with Yan Hao to deceive Aunt Yan.
Because in love, suspicion and jealousy are natural.
But she forgot that the reason why they could be together was based on trust and tolerance.
Thinking of this, Cheng Xiaoyu stood on tiptoe and kissed Shi Chenyuan on the face: "Mr. Shi, let's get off work early tonight. I'll make you something delicious."
He raised his eyebrows and said, "That depends on what you do."
Cheng Xiaoyu actually hadn't thought about it yet. She was thinking of going to the vegetable market in the afternoon to find inspiration, but when Mr. Shi asked her this, she thought about it in advance.
"I'm going to try the spicy chicken I learned from Grandpa tonight. I also have vegetarian steak, yam and pork rib soup, and West Lake vinegar fish—all new recipes I've learned. For the vegetarian dishes, how about your favorite blanched rapeseed or scrambled eggs with chives?"
Shi Chenyuan smiled and said, "It's just the two of us, so we don't need to make so much. Just some yam and pork ribs and leek scrambled eggs will be fine."
Cheng Xiaoyu asked in surprise: "Don't you like pepper chicken more?"
Shi Chenyuan lowered his head and chuckled in her ear, "Yam is better. Let's nourish ourselves in advance."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Xiaoyu's face turned hot.
No wonder he chose Chinese yam and leek, both of which are legendary ingredients for nourishing yin and tonifying the kidneys...
She muttered, "What do you mean by nourishing yourself in advance? It's just like trying to fix the fence after the sheep have been bolted..."
During the vacation, President Shi had nothing to do. With excess energy, he took her back to the room as soon as it got dark, otherwise Cheng Xiaoyu wouldn't be so tired.
Shi Chenyuan said, "After all, I couldn't let go at my dad's place. Now that we're back home, I can be free."
So it is nourishing in advance.
Cheng Xiaoyu understood and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Shi Chenyuan pinched her earlobe and said, "Your husband is in good health. You should be happy. Why are you so sad?"
"You should go to work quickly..."
Shi Chenyuan kissed her again and walked towards the elevator.
When he arrived at the elevator, he turned around to look at Cheng Xiaoyu and found that she had already entered the ward.
As for Xiaoyu's decision, he knew it without asking.
She has been absent-minded since yesterday on the plane.
She liked Aunt Yan very much and certainly hoped that Aunt Yan could live out her last years in comfort and happiness.
Xiaoyu understood the seriousness of the matter and was afraid that Shi Chenyuan would be unhappy, so she flatly rejected Yan Hao's unusual request.
But in her heart she must have wanted to do her best to make Aunt Yan happy.
And it is true that no matter what decision Xiaoyu makes, Shi Chenyuan will support her.
On the first day he was with Xiaoyu, he knew the whole story of her last relationship.
She grew up in that family compound, and Yan Hao's mother had cared for her since she was a child. Even after Yan Hao broke up with her, the relationship between the two families was not affected, which was enough to show the depth of their friendship.
Shi Chenyuan knew all of this and accepted it all.
He believed that he had no position or qualifications to forbid Cheng Xiaoyu from caring for an elder who was dying.
Xiaoyu can't abandon everything in the past, including the well-intentioned bond, just because she is in love with him.
He hoped that she would follow her heart. If Aunt Yan really couldn't make it, he didn't want to wait until Aunt Yan passed away and Xiaoyu regretted why she didn't do her best to help.
As for whether Xiaoyu and Yanhao will play lovers and rekindle their old love?
Shi Chenyuan was not worried about this problem at all.
He understood Xiaoyu and knew that she would not leave him and return to Yanhao.
He also understands himself better. Even if there is a chance that Xiaoyu really becomes shaken, Shi Chenyuan will get her back.
I still have some confidence.
The elevator arrived and he strode into it without looking back.
…
Around five o'clock in the afternoon, Cheng Xiaoyu walked into the office building of Times Group with nervous steps.
When she arrived at the floor where the president's office was located and got out of the elevator, she looked around first. Assistant Liao was in the corridor, so she quickly waved to him and asked him to come over.
Assistant Liao approached and said with a smile, "Assistant Cheng, are you skipping work because you're afraid that Mr. Shi will find out?"
Cheng Xiaoyu smiled awkwardly and scratched her head. She couldn't blame others for thinking this way. The main reason was that she made a lot of small and big mistakes, which made Shi Chenyuan angry from time to time.
Of course, Cheng Xiaoyu gained experience later, and she always got angry when she found out, purely to show that he treated her equally and not let his colleagues think that they had a special relationship and could do something wrong.
And when they get home, as long as she ignores Shi Chenyuan, he will come to coax her.
But this time, Cheng Xiaoyu felt a little guilty.
