The fingerprint lock on the door clicked, and someone came in. Zhu Lingling was a little surprised: "Why did everyone finish so early today?"
Lan Xi looked at the delicious-looking pastries in the food box and stretched out her hand without saying a word.
"Huh? Why are they all here!" Qin Xiangnan appeared in the living room. She was a little surprised. She had been too busy recently. The company had received several orders and she was exhausted from drawing drafts.
Bai Yun came out carrying a teapot and teacups. Seeing Qin Xiangnan, she raised an eyebrow: "Are you back? Have you eaten yet?"
"No, I forgot!" Qin Xiangnan shook his head, threw the backpack in his hand aside, and collapsed on the single sofa.
If Zhang Rong hadn't gone to the design studio to chase her out, she wouldn't have realized she had been there the entire day. Now, the sound of electricity in her head kept ringing, and she felt like it was going to explode in a short while.
Lan Xi chewed some pastries, drank some tea, and then asked, "How is our store in Qin's Mall doing lately?"
"We are still losing money, but the overall trend is upward. It all depends on Mr. Cheng's subsequent influence!"
Qin Xiangnan's words are very pertinent. Spokespersons can often decide many things. Cheng Chiyan's exposure and popularity will greatly affect the brand's popularity.
Cheng Chiyan was sitting cross-legged on the carpet. When he heard these words, he choked on the pastry in his mouth. At the critical moment, he picked up a tissue to cover his mouth, but he kept coughing.
Qin Xiangnan looked at him, her tired eyes slowly widening. Seeing Cheng Chiyan's face getting redder and redder, she asked Lan Xi: "He won't cough himself to death, right?"
She glanced at Cheng Chiyan, who was still coughing uncontrollably with his hands covering his mouth. Bai Yun's voice came from the kitchen: "Why don't you drink some water? Are you coughing so hard?"
When Cheng Chiyan heard this, he quickly picked up the water on the table, took a big sip, and swallowed it slowly. Only then did he feel a little better. He looked at Lan Xi cautiously, fearing that the latter would make sarcastic remarks.
Who knew that Lan Xi had already withdrawn her gaze and was enjoying her pastries.
Ten minutes later, Bai Yun brought out a bowl of noodles and handed it to Qin Xiangnan: "Eat a little to fill your stomach. We'll have fish tonight!"
Qin Xiangnan didn't say anything. She nodded gently, picked up the bowl and started eating it without hesitation. In less than 5 minutes, all the noodles in the bowl were eaten up!
Fortunately, knowing that she would eat this way, Bai Yun had the foresight to prepare vegetarian noodles, adding a small amount of shredded meat to increase the nutrition and the taste was also very light.
Otherwise, if she continues to eat like this, she will upset her stomach sooner or later!
Qin Xiangnan put the bowl on the table, picked up the warm water that Bai Yun had poured for her in advance, drank it all, and said with her mouth free, "Aunt Bai, what has your son been doing recently?"
Bai Yun was sitting next to Lan Xi drinking tea. When she heard her question, she subconsciously looked at the watch on her wrist: "He said that there are a lot of things going on at the company these two days, so he won't be coming back to stay. It's more convenient to live in the dormitory!"
After she finished speaking, seeing that Qin Xiangnan just nodded without answering, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
"Huh? Nothing! I just suddenly remembered and asked!"
Qin Xiangnan put down the water cup, half stood up on the sofa, reached out and took a piece of cake and put it in his mouth.
Bai Yun hesitantly withdrew her gaze. She remembered that Qin Xiangnan was not the kind of person who would ask such questions.
I was lost in thought when someone patted my hand on my leg. I looked down and saw it was Lan Xi!
Looking up, she saw her drinking tea with her head down. The soothing action just now seemed to be an illusion to Bai Yun. For some reason, the impatience in her heart slowly disappeared.
It was another leisurely day. After asking her family doctor Lan Xi whether she could have seafood, Bai Yun researched blanching sauce. This morning, Li Yulan had someone send over the best king crabs and shrimps.
She went to the supermarket and bought a fish and grilled it. It was her first time and she didn't know if it would taste good.
Since Lan Xi loves spicy food, she just added a little green pepper to enhance the flavor. When the dish was taken out of the pot, a rich aroma wafted out from the kitchen.
But it was grilled fish after all, and the taste was a bit strong. Lan Xi only took two bites and stopped eating it. However, she ate a lot of steamed seafood on the side.
Everyone was very happy during the dinner and the atmosphere was good and relaxed. Such moments rarely happen, and Lan Xi actually felt strange. It was completely different from those deliberately relaxed and unrestrained attitudes.
"Um...Lan Xi!" After everyone left, Cheng Chiyan saw Lan Xi sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with her legs hugged. After hesitating for a moment, he walked forward.
Lan Xi looked at him, her usually sharp eyes now becoming a little soft and confused. Cheng Chiyan sat down beside her, hesitated for a while, and finally said hesitantly: "You... I will be responsible!"
What?
Lan Xi frowned slightly, and after a long while, she couldn't figure out what he was saying. Then she looked at him pretending to be so brave and asked, "What responsibility?"
Cheng Chiyan didn't expect Lan Xi didn't understand. He hadn't thought about having to explain such a thing. His face flushed and he began to become embarrassed: "That... before we..."
He was too busy recently and Lan Xi was already asleep when he came back every day. He always wanted to talk to her about what happened between them.
Thinking about what he hadn't finished, Lan Xi laughed unexpectedly. She looked out the window at the scenery of Yaochi. There was a moon tonight...
"What are you laughing at?" Cheng Chiyan didn't expect Lan Xi to react like this, which made him a little confused.
Lan Xi: "No need to take responsibility!"
"But this is a man's responsibility, the responsibility after having...sex...with a woman!"
The word "relationship" made Cheng Chiyan a little embarrassed to speak, and he still couldn't talk about this matter with Lan Xi in a good and natural way.
