Lu Shiyan didn't know if he hadn't heard the hidden meaning or if he didn't care about anything. He just smiled gently and said, "Little girls, wash your hands. It's time to eat."
Lu Shiyan is also a good cook. He prepared a table full of dishes that were delicious and mouth-watering.
He Ting and Jiang Lai both praised it highly.
I couldn't help but praise him: "Senior, your dish looks so good!"
"Eat it quickly and see if it suits your taste."
Lu Shiyan brought out the last two dishes from the kitchen and placed one of them, a plate of spicy shrimp, in front of me with a warm smile, "You should like this."
I was a little surprised.
Except for Jiang Lai, everyone thought that my taste was the same as Fu Qichuan's, very light.
However, before I could say anything, Fu Qichuan said coldly, "She can't handle spicy food. Although you two were quite familiar with each other in college, you still don't know her taste well enough..."
"Mr. Fu."
Jiang Lai stood up for me, smiling broadly, his tone joking: "We've been married for so long, who are you thinking about? Ruan Ruan loves spicy food the most, she can't live without it!"
My heart ached.
yes.
Who is he thinking about?
I have always been the only one to accommodate him, but he has never cared about what I really like.
Fu Qichuan frowned slightly, his eyes shimmering with mystery. "Do you like spicy food?"
"yes."
As I spoke, I peeled a shrimp and put it in my mouth. I swallowed it slowly and carefully, staring into his deep and beautiful eyes. I answered seriously, "Fu Qichuan, I don't like light food. It's too dull to eat."
The aura around Fu Qichuan darkened, and the atmosphere became increasingly eerie.
I know I shouldn't say that at this time.
Fu Qichuan has a bad temper, and this will only make a good meal awkward.
But I have endured it for three years.
It's never the right time, can't it be said forever?
He once thought that a careless person would actually lower his noble head in front of his childhood friend.
"Then we won't eat bland food anymore. We'll cook according to your taste," he said.
“…”
I looked at him blankly, speechless for a moment.
I just felt my heart aching and swollen, and I was so sad.
He seemed willing to change some things, but not enough to put our marriage back on track.
But the more this happens, the more uncomfortable I feel.
I would rather he didn't make any changes, I would rather he was always careless and didn't care about my feelings.
This way I can leave without any regrets.
Jiang Lai patted my head and made things clear with him, smiling, "What do you mean by later? You didn't want her before, so don't try to snatch her from me again."
I know Jiang Lai's character. Even if I lose my job at Fu's, I will still protect me.
Although I haven't seen through Fu Qichuan, I do understand a little bit that he can't distinguish between public and private matters, and it's really possible that he will get Jiang Lai fired.
"Okay, okay, let's eat quickly!"
He Ting was afraid that Jiang Lai would really anger Fu Qichuan, so he quickly interrupted, "I'm almost starving."
Everyone has different thoughts when eating this meal.
But based on the principle of not letting the baby in my belly go hungry, I still ate a lot.
He Ting picked up his wine glass and held it in front of me with a smile, "Congratulations to my sister-in-law on your new home!"
"Thank you. I can't drink alcohol recently. I can only drink juice."
I smiled, picked up the goblet, and clinked it lightly with his.
Jiang Lai also sent out sincere blessings, "I wish our Ruan Ruan that everything he encounters in the future will be beautiful and his journey will be smooth!"
They both prepared moving gifts for me.
Lu Shiyan also handed me a beautiful gift box, "I hope you like it."
"Thank you, Senior."
I smiled and thanked him.
Seeing a unique and exquisite dress inside the box, she was a little surprised and looked at him, "Did you design this?"
"Well, that's the only one." Lu Shiyan said with a smile.
"Senior Lu is really thoughtful!"
After Jiang Lai finished praising him, she deliberately made things difficult for Fu Qichuan, "Mr. Fu, since you're here for the house-warming party, you must have brought a gift, right?"
I wanted to interrupt, but Jiang Lai stopped me.
I didn't even know they had prepared a house-warming party for me before I even stepped into the house, so how could Fu Qichuan have prepared gifts in advance?
Fu Qichuan stared at me with his dark eyes, reached into his suit pocket, took out a velvet square box, and placed it in front of me.
He hid the tears in his eyes, and the corners of his lips curved slightly. "I couldn't find a chance to give it to you, but now seems like the perfect time."
"What is it?"
Jiang Lai came over curiously.
I opened it and took a look, then glanced at Fu Qichuan in surprise, "You bought it?"
It's a pair of ruby earrings.
At a recent auction, a pair of collectible earrings, unheated pigeon blood red, were highly sought after and were eventually bought by a mysterious buyer for over 20 million yuan.
I also like jewelry and have forwarded it on my WeChat Moments.
I just didn't expect that it was Fu Qichuan who bought it and would give it to me.
Fu Qichuan's smile deepened. "Do you like it?"
"This is too expensive..."
Although the gifts from Jiang Lai and the others were not expensive, they were still within our consumption level.
But this pair of earrings was way beyond my budget. Since we were about to get divorced, I instinctively wanted to refuse.
"like!"
Jiang Lai stopped me from returning the blow and gave Fu Qichuan a rare genuine smile, "Thank you, Mr. Fu! Mr. Fu is the most generous ex-husband in the world!"
"Cough, cough cough..."
I choked on my own saliva and started coughing, then glared at her.
Can you please not say such shocking things?
"Mr. Fu, I toast to you!"
Jiang Lai picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Fu Qichuan's, drank it all in one gulp, and then toasted Fu Qichuan several times in succession.
Later, after they all left, before going to bed, she poked my forehead in a daze and muttered to me in a confident tone.
"Silly you, it's a waste! Your divorce agreement is almost as bad as leaving the house empty-handed, and you can't even accept some gifts?"
"What do you mean by leaving the house with nothing? This house is worth eight figures." I laughed.
"Can you easily sell this house, idiot? Keep the jewelry. You can wear it to show off and also have it for emergencies."
She added, "This little bit of money is nothing to him. Besides, if you don't want it, who knows who will get it. Why should you let it go to someone else?"
…
When the house-warming party ended, He Ting and Jiang Lai had both drunk quite a bit and were slumped on the sofa, motionless.
In his sleep, He Ting put one hand on Jiang Lai's waist. Jiang Lai kicked him to the carpet in a daze, "Get out!"
I was at a loss for words, so I found two blankets and put them on each of them.
As soon as he looked up, he inadvertently met Fu Qichuan's gaze. His eyes were slightly drunk, his eyelids drooped, and he leaned on the dining chair with hunched shoulders, and he actually had a bit of dejection that was completely out of character for him.
I walked closer and whispered, "Let me take you back to Dong."
But he tilted his head to look at Lu Shiyan who was cleaning up in the kitchen. He pursed his thin lips and spoke with a slightly hoarse voice.
"They haven't left yet, and you're chasing me away?"
I could sense a sense of grievance in his voice.
