Chapter 92 I still care about you
Xu Ge just watched him quietly as he walked towards her step by step. She glanced at Zhou Zimo's door out of the corner of her eye.
I thought the sound insulation should be pretty good, right?
Zhou Chen walked up to her, stared at her with deep eyes for a long time before he chuckled softly.
"Like mandarin ducks?"
Xu Ge: “…” As expected, I heard it!
She nodded obediently, "I like it. Isn't there a saying that goes, 'I only envy the mandarin ducks, not the immortals?'"
"OK."
Xu Ge: “…”
After saying these two sentences, Zhou Chen walked away from her.
Xu Ge quietly watched his back as he walked down the stairs, with only four words emerging in his mind.
baffling.
The next day, Zhou Zimo seemed to have sorted herself out and saw Xu Ge smiling at her.
"morning."
Xu Ge naturally smiled back at him, "Good morning."
"Wushuang will be living at home today. Xiaoge and Siyu, Grandpa hopes that you can get along well with Wushuang and be respectful and polite to your elders."
Zhou Siyu felt aggrieved all night and couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, if Miss Gu is with my uncle, isn't that a generation gap?"
"Look, Miss Gu is the granddaughter of your old friend. So how will you and your friend discuss this from now on?"
Old Master Zhou had never thought about this, and his expression became a little stiff when he heard this.
Old Gu got married early and had his eldest son at the age of 20. Gu Wushuang was born to his eldest son. Unlike him, he got married and had Zhou Ping when he was in his thirties, and had Zhou Chen when he was nearly forty.
"To each his own."
Zhou Siyu pursed her lips, took a bite of the sandwich and didn't dare say anything more.
Just then, two shouts were suddenly heard in the yard.
This made everyone at the table stunned.
"What's the noise?" Mr. Zhou obviously heard it and asked.
Aunt Hong heard this and explained in a low voice, "It's a mandarin duck."
Xu Ge was stunned for a moment and suddenly looked up at Aunt Hong.
What did she just say?
"Mandarin ducks?" The old man was stunned. "Where did the mandarin ducks come from?"
At this moment, Zhou Chen also spoke from the room.
“I bought it.”
Xu Ge almost choked himself to death and couldn't help but stare at Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen seemed to glance at her and said lightly: "It's quite festive, isn't it?"
Mr. Zhou was obviously still a little slow to react, but the meaning of mandarin ducks was indeed good.
"Why did you suddenly think of raising mandarin ducks?"
When Xu Ge heard this, he quickly looked away, but cursed Zhou Chen in his heart.
Is he sick?
Where did he get those two mandarin ducks?
"Maybe it just came to me suddenly."
Xu Ge closed his eyes, drank the milk, put down the dining table, sat up quietly, and looked like he was ready to leave at any time.
Seeing this, Zhou Zimo also put down the cutlery in his hand, "Grandpa, uncle, I'm done eating. I'm going to the company first."
Xu Ge naturally stood up as well. After all, she was Zhou Zimo's secretary and they lived together, so they only went to and from get off work together during this period.
But just when Xu Ge was about to stand up, Zhou Chen suddenly spoke.
"Wait a minute."
Xu Ge turned her head and looked over. She smiled slightly, "Uncle,
Is there anything wrong with you?
Zhou Chen didn't even look at her.
I took a sip of coffee,
He said it seemingly casually.
"I'm fine,
But you do.”
Xu Ge almost couldn't keep the smile on his face.
What could happen to her?
Do you want to stay and listen to the mandarin ducks calling?
Even Zhou Zimo stared at Xu Ge for a few seconds.
Mr. Zhou also glanced at the two of them for a moment, and finally he could only look at Zhou Chen and ask, "What's the matter?"
Just then Aunt Hong came out with a bowl of rich Chinese medicine.
"Xiao Ge'er, you haven't taken this Chinese medicine yet. You should take it once in the morning and once in the evening. Did you forget?"
Xu Ge: “…” Yes, she completely forgot.
Zhou Chen suddenly said, "Drink before you leave."
He didn't even look at her during the whole process.
Mr. Zhou also had an expression of sudden enlightenment on his face.
Zhou Zimo also breathed a sigh of relief. When he looked up, he saw Xu Ge's face full of resistance and resentment, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"How about you pinch your nose and drink it?"
Zhou Siyu curled her lips and said, "You're being so pretentious, even drinking Chinese medicine is a big deal."
Xu Ge looked at Zhou Siyu speechlessly. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate to say this to herself?
She didn't sleep again last night. If this really works...
So she took the bowl of medicine and almost vomited because of the bitter taste of the Chinese medicine. She really couldn't help it.
"The taste is so strong and the color is so dark, is it very bitter?"
Mr. Zhou shook his head and said, "Good medicine tastes bitter, drink it quickly."
Xu Ge took a deep breath, closed his eyes and swallowed it.
Just as she expected, it was bitter and astringent, and her stomach started to churn after drinking it. She frowned and covered her mouth tightly, for she was afraid that she would accidentally vomit it out.
Zhou Zimo saw that her eyes were red from the bitterness, "Would you like to eat some fruit?"
Xu Ge nodded, and Zhou Zimo handed over the fruit plate. Xu Ge grabbed two pieces and put them in his mouth. The fruity aroma gradually dispelled the bitterness of the Chinese medicine.
The more Zhou Siyu looked at it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She couldn't help but say something naughty again.
"I didn't expect my uncle still cares so much about you now, even thinking about taking your medicine..."
Everyone fell silent as soon as these words were spoken.
Xu Ge frowned, and for a moment he wanted to poison her to silence her.
Zhou Zimo put down the fruit plate without saying anything, but Xu Ge looked at Zhou Chen, who remained calm, and whispered "thank you".
Then Xu Ge and Zhou Zimo left, but when they walked into the yard and looked at the two mandarin ducks lying neck to neck.
Xu Ge: “…”
Zhou Zimo was also puzzled, "Why did my uncle suddenly want to raise mandarin ducks?"
Xu Ge's forehead twitched, "Maybe it's to express his stance?"
"What's the meaning?"
Xu Ge tilted his head and looked at him with a faint smile, "Miss Gu will be moving in today."
Zhou Zimo's gaze returned to the two mandarin ducks. "So, my uncle has ended Grandpa's arrangement and is engaged to Miss Gu?"
Xu Ge said softly at the same time: "Uncle has no reason to refuse, right?"
"Why not? There have been rumors about him and Miss Chi for so many years..."
"Rumors are just rumors after all. They cannot be trusted."
Zhou Zimo frowned irritably and looked away. "Let's go. It's time to go to the company."
"good."
What the two of them didn't know was that when only the father and son were left at the table, the old man suddenly said something.
"I thought you really didn't care about that girl Xiaoge anymore."
Zhou Chen did not hide it, put down the wet wipe in his hand and looked at his father.
"And you?"
Old Master Zhou narrowed his eyes, stared at him sharply for a long time, and then waved his hand.
"Xiao Ge is sensible and obedient, and she is very lovable. Not only you, but even I feel sorry for that girl..."
Zhou Chen seemed to curl the corners of his lips, "I'm going to the company now, please enjoy your meal."
Mr. Zhou stared at his back as he left and suddenly asked, "What do you think Achen is thinking about that girl?"
The housekeeper is an old man in the Zhou family. He has been regarded as the old man's confidant over the years. Hearing this, he leaned forward slightly and said.
"After all, Xu Ge grew up in the Zhou family, and the affection they've had for so many years still exists. Even if it's just a kitten or a puppy, you'll have feelings for it. Didn't you feel sorry for him back then?"
