Chapter 18 Don’t call me by my name anymore, call me brother
Qiao Bei thought that she had not received the red envelope yet, so she took off her clothes and went to the kitchen obediently.
Looking at the busy little woman in an apron in the kitchen, Fu Tanxiu was stunned for a moment.
He remembered that Jobe couldn't cook.
He just wanted to embarrass her and wait for her to beg him.
One summer vacation during high school, their family went on a trip, but Qiao Bei was not brought along.
He was worried and ran back home halfway.
As a result, I saw Qiao Bei sitting on the sofa eating bread, looking pitiful.
"Brother, I'm so hungry, can you cook for me?"
He asked, "Where are Aunt Wang and the others?"
There were several nannies in their family at that time, and Aunt Wang was responsible for cooking.
Qiao Bei: "They went home for the holidays."
Later, he found out that it was Fu Yao who was behind the incident and gave the servants a holiday without telling them.
He didn't know how to cook, but seeing Qiao Bei's pitiful appearance, he gritted his teeth and made some fried rice with egg.
He still remembers that the fried rice was black and looked terrible.
Qiao Bei said it was delicious and finished the whole plate of egg fried rice.
When did Jobe learn to cook?
How come he doesn't know?
Qiao Bei thought that today was the first day of the Lunar New Year, so she made dumplings.
Making dumplings is a lot of work, but Qiao Bei is extremely patient; she is also very patient with food.
An hour later, two plates of round, steaming dumplings were served on the table.
Fu Tanxiu was so surprised that he didn't move for a long time.
With this level of quality, you can open a dumpling shop.
Qiao Bei made two bowls of chili dip and added mashed garlic.
He called Fu Tanxiu, "Come and eat. This one has beef filling, and this one has shrimp and meat. They are delicious when they are hot."
Fu Tanxiu sat down, picked up a dumpling, dipped it in the sauce and put it in his mouth.
I raised my eyebrows in surprise.
Qiao Bei was pleased: "Is it delicious?"
Fu Tanxiu nodded.
It’s really delicious, much better than what the maids at home make.
"How do you know this?"
Jobe paused.
She forgot that the original owner couldn't cook.
I made up a random excuse: "I learned it."
"When did you learn it?"
"After the divorce."
Fu Tanxiu was silent for a while.
"Then you have a talent for cooking. You should have learned it earlier."
At least more talented than him.
He enrolled in a cooking class and studied for a month, but the food he made was barely edible.
But Qiao Bei was very fond of it. He would always praise the food he made to the sky and then eat it all.
Qiao Bei also remembered that Fu Tanxiu had gone to learn how to cook.
To be honest, apart from not liking the original owner, he was quite nice to her. In the Fu family, he was the only one who gave her warmth.
I learned to cook for the original owner.
Fu Yao was so jealous that she fought with her.
Although Qi Lianxin didn't say anything, she was unhappy in her heart.
The two of them finished both plates of dumplings.
Fu Tanxiu took the initiative to take the dishes to the kitchen and put them in the dishwasher.
Qiao Bei followed him and said, "We've eaten, give me a red envelope."
Fu Tanxiu suddenly turned around, and Qiao Bei bumped into his arms.
She grimaced in pain.
"Fu Tanxiu, are you made of iron? It's so hard, it hurts!"
Fu Tanxiu's eyes darkened: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Qiao Bei covered his nose, his eyes turned red and tears welled up in his eyes.
“It really hurts!”
"Let me see."
Fu Tanxiu pressed his palm on her nose and rubbed it gently.
Qiao Bei looked at him blankly, unable to react to Fu Tanxiu's sudden tenderness.
Fu Tanxiu used to be gentle to the original owner, but she just didn't catch up.
The original owner pissed him off and left a mess for her to take over.
Fu Tanxiu never gave her a good look.
His palms were warm and dry, giving people a sense of security.
Qiao Bei's heart was moved for a moment.
It's allowed to be a little crazy in front of a handsome guy.
"Are you feeling better?"
"Yeah, much better."
Qiao Bei took a step back and kept his distance from him.
Keeping a distance from handsome guys is good for your health.
Fu Tanxiu's hand was still hanging in the air, and he paused for a moment before retracting it.
Look at her deeply.
"Qiao Bei, even though we are divorced, you can still treat me as your brother."
In this situation, Qiao Bei thought of a saying: Late affection is cheaper than grass.
It’s just that Fu Tanxiu’s feelings for her are not deep, they are just sympathy.
"Let me remind you, my ex-husband, our divorce didn't seem to go smoothly. You even took back your wedding ring. What does it mean now?"
Fu Tanxiu: "I was really mad at you at that time."
Qiao Bei refused to take the blame: "How did I make you angry? You don't like me, you hate me, I took the initiative to divorce you to set you free, I've been so good to you, how could I make you angry?"
Fu Tanxiu opened his mouth and managed to utter a word after a long while: "I can't explain it to you clearly."
"If I can't explain it, I won't say it anymore. What's done is done. Let's not talk about it. But you promised to give me a red envelope. I just worked so hard to make dumplings for you. Don't play tricks on me. I'll hate you."
Fu Tanxiu passed her, went to the coffee table, picked up his cell phone, and transferred money to Qiao Bei on the spot.
Qiao Bei counted the zeros after 1 and found that it was another 100,000.
She curled up the corners of her mouth in pleasure.
"Fu Tanxiu, you are so nice!"
Fu Tanxiu glanced at her and said, "Just transfer the money to you. I guess you cursed me in your heart just now, right?"
Qiao Bei was happy and could coax people with his mouth: "No, I'm praising you."
"Really? Don't call me by my first name anymore. Call me brother."
Qiao Bei raised an eyebrow: "Are you going to turn your ex-wife into your godsister?"
Fu Tanxiu tapped her on the head.
"What a mess you have in your head. You always call me brother. I like you calling me brother."
Qiao Bei couldn't help but complain: "You haven't been a big brother enough, don't you have a sister? If you like hearing people call you brother, call Fu Yao."
"You don't understand, do you? I said I like to hear you shout."
Seeing that Fu Tanxiu had just transferred 100,000 yuan to her, Qiao Bei reluctantly said, "I'll try."
She opened her mouth, but no words came out.
I always feel that calling Fu Tanxiu brother is very...sexy.
Please, she is not the original owner!
Fu Tanxiu looked at her with a gloomy look.
Qiao Bei laughed awkwardly twice: "I...I'll try again."
She opened her mouth again.
Finally, his shoulders slumped.
"I really can't shout."
Fu Tanxiu didn’t understand. He could shout out loud before, so why couldn’t he shout out loud now?
Is it because they were married?
"Forget it, I won't force you."
"That's great!" Qiao Bei grabbed Fu Tanxiu's hand and shook it twice with tears in his eyes.
"Well, I'm going back."
"I send you."
"No, no... no need, I can go back by myself."
What a joke! If Fu Tanxiu knew where she lived, wouldn’t her marriage be in vain?
What if one day Fu Tanxiu saw her pregnant and forced her to have an abortion?
This is absolutely unacceptable.
Fu Tanxiu glanced outside.
"It's getting dark, I'll take you there."
"No, I'll take a taxi."
Fu Tanxiu thought about it and put the car keys in her hand.
"You drive away."
Qiao Bei stuffed the car keys back in.
"I don't want to. I don't dare drive now."
"Why?"
After Fu Tanxiu asked, he suddenly thought of something, "Is it the last car accident that left a shadow?"
Qiao Bei thought this was a good excuse.
He nodded and said, "Yes, I'm scared when I sit in the driver's seat now. I think of the bloody scene that day."
Fu Tanxiu's lips and teeth moved, and a feeling of guilt surged in his heart.
"Beibei..."
He unconsciously called out the name he used to call her.
Qiao Bei was stunned for a moment, and his heart felt itchy as if it had been scratched by a cat.
"I'm leaving, don't see me off."
Qiao Bei ran away quickly, and when Fu Tanxiu chased after him, he could no longer be seen.
He returned to the room and saw a white down jacket on the sofa.
Grabbed the down jacket, turned around and went to the yard to drive.
Qiao Bei ran to the gate of the villa area and realized that she was not wearing a coat.
Frozen to death.
I wandered at the door with my arms folded, wondering whether to go back to get my clothes or just take a taxi.
It’s so cold!
How could she do such a stupid thing?
Meeting a handsome guy makes people become fools.
Suddenly, a black Bentley stopped in front of her.
The car door opened and a long leg stretched out.
Qiao Bei's gaze moved from her feet upwards and she saw Fu Tanxiu's handsome face.
He walked towards her with a down jacket in his hand, and after standing in front of her, he wrapped her tightly with the down jacket.
"Are you stupid?"
