Chapter 52
Facts have proved that Qi You was really overthinking this matter, and that was not what he meant at all.
When the driver sent them downstairs to the apartment, the nanny had just finished buying the ingredients and was about to send them upstairs. Qiao Yanyan simply took the shopping bags and let her go back first.
After entering his fingerprint and entering the door, Qiao Chunyan took off his suit jacket, slowly rolled up his shirt sleeves, and got into the kitchen to start cleaning the ingredients.
After Qi You changed her shoes, she pushed the door in and followed him like a little tail, looking here and there, touching there, standing on her toes and asking, "Is there anything I can do to help?"
As soon as she finished asking, the fresh snakehead fish in the pool suddenly flapping twice, causing a burst of water droplets to wet her coat.
"..."
Qiyou froze on the spot, looking at Qiao Chunyan embarrassedly, then at the fish in the pond, twisting up his shirt and smelling it.
The strong smell of fish hit her face, and Qi You suddenly felt bad and felt that she was unclean...
She was scratching all over, clenching her palms, squeezing out a string of kitten-like screams from her throat, and ran to the bathroom, determined never to set foot in the kitchen again.
Just...just be her fairy, and don't go down to earth to experience calamity if you have nothing to do.
She lingered in the bathroom for nearly an hour and washed twice with fragrance before she felt that there was no peculiar smell on her body.
When she came out, a delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen. Three cooked dishes had been placed on the dining table, and Qiao Chunyan was loading the pots neatly.
Qi You swallowed silently, not caring whether she was blowdrying her hair or not. She put on her dry hair cap and eagerly came to the table, moved a chair and sat upright, as if she was waiting for food.
Qiao Yanyan brought the last dish to the table, handed her the chopsticks, and said warmly: "Eat."
Qiyou picked up the chopsticks, glanced around the table full of food, and finally chose the little stinky fish that splashed her with water to start!
The little smelly fish was now made into a bowl of boiled fish fillets. The color was attractive, and the fish meat was smooth and delicious. Qi You took a bite and found that the taste was very good. He couldn't help but take another piece.
"Qiao Chunyan, did you really do this? You probably secretly ordered takeout while I was taking a shower."
Qiao Chunyan just chuckled and put other vegetables into her bowl, "Eat slowly, be careful of the fish bones."
After eating, Qi You finally regained her energy and took the initiative to help Qiao Chunyan clean up the dishes with gratitude.
Seeing that her condition had improved a lot, when the two of them were leaning on the sofa watching variety shows in the evening, Qiao Chunyan found an appropriate time to talk, starting from "Where is Chen Jinan?", trying to open up Qiyou's heart.
Qi You's eyes dimmed, and her voice became weak again, "She went to Jiang City to find her parents for the time being, and she didn't tell me what she planned to do next."
Qiao Chunyan gave a low "hmm" and was silent for a few seconds before adding: "Although she is not in the imperial capital, you can still keep in touch. There are countless separations in life. One day, people around you will leave one after another. Parents
, friends, children, they will all have their own lives, only your partner will always be with you."
"..."
Qiyou was dumbfounded.
Why did you start taking philosophy of life classes out of nowhere?
She paused the program, put the tablet aside temporarily, stood up, and knelt down on the sofa, with her hands on her knees and her eyes looking directly at him.
"So...are you trying to comfort me?"
Qiao Chunyan lightly touched the corner of her lips and said nothing, only covering her back with the small blanket she had kicked away.
"Isn't that right? You went shopping with me today and took me to the movies just to make me happy, right?"
"Is that true? Just tell me~" Qi You insisted on hearing his admission and held his arm in a coquettish way.
Qiao Chunyan was annoyed by her, so he grabbed her waist and pushed her onto his lap.
He flicked her forehead affectionately, "Did you just see it?"
A hint of sweetness spread in her heart, and the corners of Qi You's mouth couldn't help but raise, like a pot of boiling sugar water, so sweet that it bubbled.
She picked up the tablet again with satisfaction, put it down after looking at it for a few seconds, raised her little face and said, "Actually, there is a way. You don't need to accompany me, and I can be happy quickly. Do you want to know?"
Qiao Chunyan: "What?"
Qiyou: "Buy me an island."
It is such a simple, small, and unpretentious wish.
Qiao Chunyan: "..."
That night, Qi You lay on Qiao Chunyan's lap and talked to him about his childhood. Qiao Chunyan, who was rarely busy with work, listened with peace of mind.
He didn't talk much. Basically, Qi You kept talking with his small mouth, and he listened silently. But he knew how to answer the conversation at the right moment and follow her words so as not to make her feel that he was in trouble.
He is a one-man show and a pretty good listener.
After returning to the bedroom, the two of them didn't do anything inappropriate. Qiyou held her tablet and watched an episode of a variety show. Qiao Yanyan read the documents for a while while wearing gold-rimmed glasses, then turned off the lights and fell asleep hugging each other.
Qi You didn't sleep well last night. She was terribly sleepy when she woke up in the morning, but now she didn't feel sleepy at all, and the events that happened today were playing out in her mind.
Speaking of which, she and Qiao Chunyan have been married for so long, and it seems that today is their first serious date.
Before that, her impression of Qiao Chunyan was that he was a money-making machine with no love, and she didn't think he was a very considerate husband.
So when she realized that Qiao Chunyan had gone out of her way to coax her to skip a day's work today, she was secretly moved in her heart for a long time.
Thinking of this, the words Chen Jinan said to her before boarding the plane rang in her ears again.
"Youbao, you have to be on good terms with your Mr. Qiao. It's not easy to be with the person you like."
People you like...
When someone exposed her inner thoughts, Qiyou blushed and refused to admit it at first, but in the dead of night, she could see her own thoughts more clearly.
From the moment she misunderstood Qiao Yunyan and Bei Rui, she knew that her feelings for Qiao Yunyan were no longer limited to a cold business marriage.
That feeling is that all the joy, anger, sorrow and joy are affected by him, it is the thought that if one day he does not belong to you, you will be heartbroken to death, it is the sweetness of wanting to see him at the first sight every day when you wake up.
Qiyou turned over, holding her chin with one hand, staring at the man next to her, her fingertips gently tracing his brows.
It seems that when I first hooked up with him, I was indeed tempted by this face, but then... when did it start?
Every time he kissed her?
Or when he held her in his arms before she fell into coma?
Or maybe it was when he took good care of her in the hospital...
She poked Qiao Chunyan's Adam's apple, and a subtle thought was stirring in her heart.
Maybe she might like him a little bit.
But I just like it a little bit.
Not too much, otherwise this bitch will definitely be proud.
Huh, I didn’t expect that one day, a fairy like her would be moved by mortal hearts.
Qi You couldn't help but touch his lips again. Seeing that his eyes were closed and his breathing was even, as if he was sleeping, a bold idea came to her mind, she lowered her head and kissed him on his cold thin lips.
Take a sip.
After the kiss, she covered her mouth and giggled twice, and was about to throw herself into Duke Zhou's arms with satisfaction. The next second, Qiao Chunyan opened her eyes without warning, and the two looked at each other.
"If you don't want to go to bed yet, I wouldn't mind another bedtime exercise."
"..."
It’s so damn embarrassing to be caught cheating!
Qiyou blushed with embarrassment and quickly lay down and covered her head with the quilt, pretending not to admit it.
Respond to him with actual heartfelt feelings: I mind, very much!
