He answered without thinking, "I drank too much tonic soup a while ago, and now I don't want to drink it."
Zhu Tingyue understood that the soup made by her mother was the most delicious delicacy in the world and it was not an exaggeration at all.
But, Chen Yanqiu said he drank too much. Did he know that he couldn’t drink even if he wanted to?
Zhu Tingyue raised her head slightly and glanced at Chen Yanqiu. The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, outlining a smile, as if she was laughing at his ignorance.
Then she quickly looked away, ignored him, lowered her head, and began to concentrate on enjoying the sumptuous meal in front of her.
After Chen Yanqiu finished speaking, he realized that he had said something wrong. This was obviously hitting Zhu Tingyue's sore spot!
She wanted to drink but couldn't, but she said she had drunk too much and didn't want to drink anymore. She was just jumping on her minefield!
Now she didn't even look at me, so I could only explain after the show was over.
After three rounds of drinks, the topic turned to personal issues.
The Mediterranean guy named Qiao Enxu teased the young people: "You guys, hurry up and find a partner while you are still young. As the saying goes: The one who is close to the water gets the moon first. If you keep your eyes open, won't you have plenty of opportunities?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present looked at Chen Yanqiu together. Except for Chen Wen, only Chen Yanqiu was a girl.
The others were too embarrassed to speak. Shi Yuan looked around and saw that the two young men, Li Yixuan and Lin Quan, were looking eagerly at the plates in front of them, as if what was in them was not food but gentle and beautiful beauties.
He turned his gaze to Shen Yanqiu again and asked, “Xiao Zhu, do you have a boyfriend?”
Chen Yanqiu, under the gaze of several pairs of eyes, did the same as Shi Yuan, first scanning everyone before finally settling on Zhu Tingyue.
In my impression, Chen Yanqiu should be cold and serious.
But unexpectedly, the current "Chen Yanqiu" often has a pair of bright eyes with a smile, which always turn into crescents. For example, at this moment, he is gazing at himself with affection.
For a moment, time seemed to freeze. All the noise and bustle around them were blocked out. Only the two of them were left standing opposite each other in the whole world. Their eyes met like two intertwined lightning, bursting out endless sparks and expectations.
Chen Yanqiu thought: Here comes the chance to save the relationship! He also smiled, looked at Zhu Tingyue, and said, "Yes!"
The crowd immediately became excited and asked one after another: "Who is it?"
Chen Yanqiu just smiled but didn't answer.
Shi Yuan sighed, looking at him with regret, but said, "Okay, let's congratulate Xiao Zhu. Come on, let's congratulate together."
Everyone raised their glasses, their faces filled with joy and excitement, and shouted in unison: "Cheers!"
For a moment, laughter and joy filled the entire space.
Zhu Tingyue's gaze was like the twinkling stars in the night sky, sometimes bright, sometimes dim; sometimes sharp as a knife, sometimes soft as water.
Her eyes, which were originally as calm as water, now seemed to be filled with countless stones, causing ripples.
Zhu Tingyue stared at the scene in front of her quietly, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. She seemed to want to say something, but the words were swallowed back when they came to her lips.
The noise of the people around her seemed to fade away, leaving her alone immersed in her own complicated inner world. In the end, she just sighed softly, shook her head slightly, and finally chose to remain silent.
On the way back, Shi Yuan insisted on sending Chen Yanqiu back, no matter how Chen Yanqiu refused.
Chen Yanqiu wanted to hit him with a hammer on the spot to knock out this person who didn't understand the situation.
Sitting in Shi Yuan's car, Chen Yanqiu listened to Shi Yuan's endless chatter and wished he was deaf. He had never realized that Shi Yuan was a chatterbox before.
"Xiao Zhu, are you adapting to our company?"
Shi Yuan spoke in a bossy manner, and Chen Yanqiu replied expressionlessly, "Adapt."
"So what do you think of our company?"
"good."
"Do you think there are areas that need improvement? I think we should listen more to the opinions of the public. If you have any suggestions, feel free to give them."
Shen Yanqiu had no suggestions, his only suggestion was to tell Shi Yuan to shut up.
"No."
"Ah?" Shi Yuan asked in surprise, "Is our company so good?
"Yeah, okay."
Shi Yuan asked one question at a time, and Chen Yanqiu answered two words at a time.
Halfway through the journey, Shi Yuan finally realized that Chen Yanqiu was not in a good mood, so he shut up. Chen Yanqiu did not explain and let him look at her.
In the past, when we only looked at Shi Yuan's work ability, he was indeed impeccable. But now, looking at him from another angle, he has quite a few shortcomings!
Chen Yanqiu returned to the Zhu family with a belated realization.
The lights in the villa were on. Before I even entered, I could hear Zhu Mingchuan's hearty laughter.
Are they reconciled again? Zhu Mingchuan is very good at coaxing his wife, and Chen Yanqiu is amazed at his skills.
"Yueyue, you're back! Look what this is?"
Zhu Mingchuan took out an exquisite box from behind his back as if he was presenting a treasure, his shrewd eyes full of anticipation.
Even Zhu's mother looked at him with a smile, and both of them were looking forward to his reaction.
Chen Yanqiu looked at the palm-sized box in front of him, and combined with the expressions of Zhu's father and mother, he made a guess: "The jewelry I like!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Mingchuan burst into laughter and looked at his wife with a teasing look: "Hahaha, you guessed wrong!"
Zhu's mother glared at him with a look of displeasure: "Not really wrong, half right and half wrong."
The couple actually disagreed! Chen Yanqiu cooperated very well, rolling his eyes and pretending to think, and said after a while: "It's a bracelet."
Zhu Mingchuan stared at him intently, and several times he couldn't help wanting to tell him the answer, but was stopped by Zhu's mother.
Hearing the answer this time, his smile became even more obvious!
"Wrong, wrong again! Yueyue, you have become stupid!" He had an exaggerated expression and stretched out his index finger, shaking it left and right in front of Shen Yanqiu, with uncontrollable pride in his eyes.
Chen Yanqiu asked softly, as if coaxing a child: "What exactly is it? Please tell me!"
Zhu Mingchuan ignored his request and even walked a few steps away, pulling Zhu's mother to sit on the sofa. When he looked over again, his tone was also arrogant: "I won't tell you, I can't tell you, guess it yourself!"
What a naughty old boy! Chen Yanqiu couldn't help but laugh when he saw Zhu Mingchuan, whose personality was completely different at work and at home.
Leaving him aside, Chen Yanqiu turned a pleading look to Mother Zhu.
However, Zhu Mingchuan was whispering something to her, and the two of them were in an intimate posture, completely different from the cold and hostile attitude they had in the morning.
"Yueyue, you didn't inherit my intelligence from me." Zhu Mingchuan said complacently. Seeing his wife's face change slightly, he added, "You didn't inherit your mother's either."
"Then who did I inherit it from? My godfather?" Shen Yanqiu said this to him as if jokingly.
