But Chef Qin refused her request for another bowl.
Looking at the empty bowl in front of him, he said seriously, "It's late. It's not good to eat too much. You won't be able to sleep later."
Pei Zhiyu fiddled with the spoon, lowered his head somewhat disappointedly, supported his cheek with his other hand, and muttered softly: "Okay, okay, you're right..."
She didn't know that in Qin Hezhou's eyes, she looked like a grumpy kitten.
Cute squeezed.
He subconsciously reached out his hand and gently stroked Pei Zhiyu's chin as if petting a cat.
“?” Pei Zhiyu was stunned.
When he looked up, he happened to meet Qin Hezhou's smiling eyes.
Good job!
You really treat her like a pet, don't you?
She pursed her lips, her face showing great reluctance, but she could not resist Qin Hezhou's doting and affectionate look.
That is, he tilted his head back slightly, trying to avoid this itchy action.
But he didn't expect Qin Hezhou to misunderstand that he didn't like it, so he quickly withdrew his hand, picked up the bowl and spoon and prepared to go back to the kitchen.
"What are you going to do?"
"Washing the dishes." He answered, and then advised Pei Zhiyu: "You were so sleepy just now, go to bed and rest early. No matter how busy you are, there are people around to help you, so give yourself a break."
As he said this, he was already standing in front of the dishwasher in the kitchen.
Because his back was facing Pei Zhiyu, she naturally couldn't see the deep worry on his face.
He was always thinking about finding an opportunity to have her have a physical examination. She was excessively sleepy, had frequent nightmares, and even had dry heaves today.
It doesn't look normal at all.
Even if he is just tired, I still have to check on him to feel at ease.
When he was abroad, Qin Mengzhi suddenly became unwell and thought it was just because he was tired from the busy work of the branch office.
She kept refusing to go to the hospital, and kept putting it off until one day she fainted at work and was taken to the hospital by ambulance, where they found out she had a brain tumor.
This incident left a huge shadow on him.
Qin Mengzhi was lucky to be alive and well. He never thought that God would give the same person a second miracle.
He was so absorbed in his thoughts that even his five senses seemed to have disappeared, and he didn't notice anyone walking up behind him.
Until Pei Zhiyu quietly put her arms around his waist, hugged him tightly from behind, and pressed her skin with body temperature against his -
Qin Hezhou finally came back to his senses.
There were still wet stains on his hands, so he didn't touch her. He just tilted his head slightly and asked her, "What's wrong?"
"I have something to tell you." She answered softly.
Qin Hezhou said nothing, waiting quietly for her next words.
In fact, he had already vaguely guessed in his heart that it was probably related to that variety show.
Sure enough, I just heard her say, "You're on TV, you know."
"Yeah, I know."
"Will it affect you?"
"Hmm?" This question was a little unexpected to him, and for a moment he didn't even think about how it would affect him.
But her worried look flashed through his mind, and he finally said it didn't matter.
"Hey, are you sure those creditors won't suddenly see you on TV and find you?" Pei Zhiyu spontaneously expressed his concerns.
"Huh?" Qin Hezhou was stunned at first, then shook his head helplessly.
He casually tore off two pieces of tissue paper to wipe his hands. After all the water stains were wiped clean, he held Pei Zhiyu's hand, and then changed from hugging from behind to hugging face to face.
There was a marble table behind him. Qin Hezhou leaned over it lightly, put his arms around Pei Zhiyu's slender waist, and with a little force, he brought her into his arms.
She accidentally lost her balance and instinctively placed her hands on his chest to maintain her balance.
Then he glared at him.
Qin Hezhou remained calm as he explained, "My debts have long been cleared. You don't have to worry about whether my creditors or enemies will come after me."
"Is that so? Are you sure?" She seemed unconvinced.
"Yeah! I'm pretty sure!"
"Then why don't you bring your grandma back? She is quite old. Can she live well alone in the countryside?" Pei Zhiyu was worried.
She thought that after all, he was an old man who had lived a life of luxury for half his life. Now that the debt problem was solved and there would be no more enemies coming to his door, it would be natural to take him to live with her.
Qin Hezhou: "..."
Today, these questions came one after another, and he was completely confused.
But in the final analysis, I can only blame myself for lying casually before and not considering the long-term perspective at all.
And now many things cannot be told.
It really makes sense that one lie needs to be covered up with countless lies.
So at this moment, he made up a new lie: "She is very happy living in the countryside, but I will consider this matter, don't worry."
"Well, but..." Pei Zhiyu hesitated, "Have you told her about us? What if she objects after knowing it?"
I don’t know if it’s because I’ve heard Aunt Yu tell too many melodramatic mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stories recently, or what, but she always feels annoyed.
Sometimes I think, it would be nice if Qin Hezhou is really the heir of the Qin family -
At least Old Lady Qin really likes me, so I don't have to go to great lengths to please her.
She's really bad at interpersonal relationships.
Qin Hezhou saw what she was thinking, and recalled the way his old lady always sided with Pei Zhiyu, wishing she was the Qin family's granddaughter...
"Don't think too much, she knows you and likes you very much."
