Chapter 228 A Long Conversation
Lu Qian opened the door, poked his head out of the kitchen and looked around.
"Please both of you come and serve the dishes."
Both of them looked unhappy, but at least they didn't fight, so Lu Qian was quite relieved.
Bai Yao smiled warmly, rolled up his sleeves and nodded at Lu Qian.
"Thank you for your hard work, chef. I'll be right there."
Cheng Yi's face twitched fiercely. Why was Bai Yao being so attentive here? He was trying to appear gentlemanly, wasn't he?
Bai Yao deliberately ignored Cheng Yi and walked straight into the kitchen.
Lu Qian turned his head and looked at Cheng Yi who looked reluctant, and blinked innocently.
"Why don't you go? Don't you want to eat the food I cook?"
When Cheng Yi heard Lu Qian's words, he immediately put away his sullen expression and smiled at Lu Qian.
"How could that be?"
There was a pair of man and woman sitting on each of the main seats on the two sides of the dining table.
Lu Qian was very tactful and divided all the food into two portions, letting the two men take food from the same plate, for fear that a fight would really break out.
Qu Le stuffed his mouth with food, and while digging into the rice, he mumbled, "I'm right, Lu Qian's cooking is delicious."
Compared to Qu Le's unrefined eating style, Bai Yao's eating pace was much more elegant and slow.
"Lu Qian's cooking skills are really good," he picked up a piece of cucumber shreds with his chopsticks and slowly put it into his mouth, "his knife skills are also good."
Lu Qian responded with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment."
Cheng Yi ate quietly with a calm expression.
Of course he was happy when someone praised his woman, but he would be even happier if that person was not Bai Yao.
The few of them finished their meal peacefully, and the two men stopped provoking each other. Lu Qian was very satisfied with this. It was harmonious on the surface, which was considered harmonious.
"Bai Yao, I'm sleepy."
Qu Le ate too much and felt a little dizzy. She leaned on Bai Yao, rubbing her bloated belly and acting coquettishly.
Bai Yao gently brushed the hair away from her face and coaxed her, "Shall I carry you back to sleep?"
"You don't need to carry me," Qu Le refused, but put his arms around Bai Yao's neck and buried his face in his chest, feeling happy. "I can walk by myself."
Bai Yao liked to see Qu Le acting coquettishly and seeking favor. It was completely different from how she usually behaved in front of others, and it gave him a sense of satisfaction in completely possessing her.
Every time he saw her like this, Bai Yao couldn't help but want to invade her.
Bai Yao's slender knuckles rubbed back and forth on Qu Le's smooth neck. His technique was gentle and erotic. After a while, Qu Le felt sore and numb, and his breathing became heavier.
Qu Le pushed Bai Yao away and said, "Stop making trouble."
Bai Yao smiled strangely, "No trouble."
Lu Qian propped up his chin, watching Qu Le and Bai Yao's affectionate relationship with great interest. He half-closed his eyes and said calmly, "You two should go and do what you need to do. I'll take care of the rest."
“…”
Qu Le's face flushed red, which gave Lu Qian the opportunity to take revenge on her.
Bai Yao looked at Qu Le's red ears and teased her further: "It's hard to refuse such kindness."
Qu Le no longer answered, she finally tasted the feeling of being surrounded by enemies.
Lu Qian looked at Cheng Yi and said, "You should go upstairs and sleep too. I'll come find you when I'm done packing."
Originally, Lu Qian didn't have to do these things, but she slept for a long time in the afternoon and now had a lot of energy, so she had to do something to expend it.
Cheng Yi hugged Lu Qian's waist and whispered into her fair neck: "I'll be with you."
Lu Qian ruffled Cheng Yi's hair with his backhand and said, "I'll be done soon, you go first."
Normally these things could be done in ten minutes, but if Cheng Yi was messing around, who knows how long it would take.
Moreover, Lu Qian guessed that Cheng Yi did not sleep at all in the afternoon. After coaxing her to sleep, he went straight to handle official business. She wanted him to rest quickly.
"I'll pack it up quickly and come up to you in a bit."
Lu Qian's tone was gentle and negotiating, as if he was coaxing a child who refused to go to sleep by himself.
Cheng Yi buried his head in her neck and nodded gently, "Okay."
After sending everyone away, Lu Qian was finally able to clean the table in peace.
There were also servants on duty who wanted to come forward to help, but they were all sent away by Lu Qian.
The habit developed over the years of cleaning up the dirty and messy places would give Lu Qian an inexplicable sense of security.
That kind of steadiness cannot be replaced by any other behavior, so even though there are plenty of servants available, she still cleans out of habit.
After throwing the last pair of chopsticks into the dryer, Lu Qian looked at the clean kitchen and smiled with satisfaction.
She took off her apron, turned around and prepared to go upstairs to find Cheng Yi.
She turned around, looked towards the door, and was stunned.
A figure that Lu Qian did not expect appeared at the kitchen door.
She didn't hear any footsteps at the door at all. The man just stood there quietly, and she didn't know how long he had been standing there.
"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?" Lu Qian asked hesitantly.
Vanessa lowered her eyes. She was tall and had a beautiful and aggressive appearance. She was wearing a pair of imposing high heels and looked down at Lu Qian.
"Miss Lu, can I talk to you?"
When she spoke, her tone was cold and indifferent, unlike the charming impression she usually gave people.
Lu Qian didn't know what she wanted to do, but judging from her demeanor, she didn't come here to chat about family matters.
She lowered the corners of her mouth and glanced at the environment around the kitchen.
"Let's go somewhere else."
The flowers and plants in the garden had changed again, no longer the same as those in Lu Qian's memory.
She passed by the familiar flower hedge and was surprised to find a small cluster of white roses planted in the corner. The flowers had begun to wither under the ravages of the gradually colder weather, but many were still growing tenaciously.
Those were the flowers she planted for Vani, and she didn't expect that so many had bloomed.
The wind was a little chilly at night, giving Lu Qian goose bumps, but luckily he had just eaten, so it wasn't too cold.
Lu Qian and Vanessa walked one after the other until they reached the European-style pavilion in the garden.
There were two cups of tea on the stone table in the pavilion, and the spouts of the teapots were still steaming in the cold night.
"Please."
Vanessa made a "please" gesture, acting like a host.
Lu Qian smiled faintly, it turned out that he had come prepared.
Lu Qian walked to the stone table and sat down confidently, without any restraint, but also getting straight to the point.
"Miss Vanessa, just say whatever you want to say."
The expression on Vanessa's face was unusually calm. She sat opposite Lu Qian and didn't rush to speak. Instead, she picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Lu Qian didn't understand what she meant. It seemed like she was really planning to have a long talk with her?
Vanessa glanced at Lu Qian and smiled, "Ms. Lu, you are different now."
Lu Qian was reluctant to answer Vanessa's question. He put on a lazy expression and glanced away.
"Oh, really?"
