When we arrived at the villa where Ruan Qingyue lived, we could smell the strong smell of braised pork as soon as we entered the door.
"We're back! The braised pork is just coming out of the pot."
Hu Mei heard the movement and gave a response. Her voice was loud and festive, which made people feel better after listening to it.
"Just in time, sister-in-law, do you have any vegetables at home? I'll cook and fry some vegetables myself."
Ruan Qingyue's answer was also crisp. She and Shen Chaochen changed their shoes at the entrance and went into the house together.
"There are two more gourds. I'll just wash them and fry them. You've been tired for a long day, so take a rest!"
While Hu Mei was talking, she heard the sound of the faucet running. Hu Mei, with her nimble hands and feet, had already started to wash the vegetables.
"Brother Chen, please sit down for a while. I'll go to the kitchen. I'll be there soon."
Ruan Qingyue stepped on her slippers and went to the kitchen. After listening to what Ruan Qingyue said in the living room, Hu Mei quickly stepped back and took a look at the kitchen door. When she saw Shen Chaochen sitting down in the living room, her face was filled with an aunt's smile. .
Ruan Qingyue entered the kitchen and started chopping vegetables. Hu Mei came close to Ruan Qingyue.
"Are you getting along with him? I also think Shen Chaochen is better than that Xu Shaoqiang. That Xu Shaoqiang is rich, and he also cares about you. But Xu Shaoqiang always makes me feel unpredictable. Still Chen Chao I am a good student, a college student, with a bright future, and I am devoted to you."
Hu Mei's voice was very low, and with the cover of Ruan Qingyue's chopping vegetables, nothing could be heard at all.
"I'm in love with him, and he wants to tell his family, but I don't want to. We've just been together for a few days, and I always feel that it's not appropriate to say it now, and I don't know how to convince him. Sister-in-law, give it to me. Come up with an idea!"
Ruan Qingyue also suppressed the business and directly admitted her relationship with Shen Chaochen. The newly cleaned gourd turned into thin slices under Ruan Qingyue's hands. After cutting some ingredients, it could be fried directly.
"It's easy to talk about it. Just say you're not ready yet. When you think it's appropriate, you can talk to him again! This kind of thing needs teaching. You're not very smart. Why did you get to this point like Chen Chaochen's? You won’t be able to think of anything to do with it.”
Hu Mei found it a bit funny, and looked at Ruan Qingyue with fondness in her eyes. The relationship between the two of them was almost like that of family members.
"I don't know. I seem to be careful about anything related to him, for fear that I might hurt him if I'm not careful."
Ruan Qingyue's pretty face was slightly red. Speaking of Shen Chaochen, Ruan Qingyue's heart was filled with warmth and happiness. This natural expression of emotion made people envious.
"It's useless for you to be so cautious. You should talk more. You have to let him understand that you have to be careful, otherwise people will think you are guarding against him! Okay, okay, I'll do it, and you can go and talk with me. go."
Hu Mei was about to take the shovel from Ruan Qingyue's hand as she spoke, but Ruan Qingyue quickly refused.
"No, no, no, no, I agreed with him that I will fry this dish. Sister-in-law, please help me bring him a glass of water!"
Ruan Qingyue's smile was filled with happiness, and her cooking movements were particularly quick. Naturally, Hu Mei couldn't say anything, so she had to go and give Shen Chaochen a glass of water.
Shen Chaochen was sitting peacefully in the living room reading the newspaper. The golden light of the setting sun shone on him through the window, making people unable to take their eyes away.
The moment Hu Mei saw Shen Chaochen, she sighed deeply in her heart.
Why did I get married so early?
But she thought about it and felt relieved again.
Even if I am not married, I am not worthy of such a good person, let alone my age.
"Here, drink water."
All the irrelevant thoughts disappeared the moment the water glass was placed on the coffee table.
"Thanks."
Shen Chaochen put down the newspaper and actually picked up the water glass and took a sip.
"Qingyue is a pure girl at heart and takes relationships seriously. You can't bully her."
Hu Mei said these words with a smile, just waiting to see what Shen Chaochen's attitude would be.
"Don't worry, I will be good to her. As long as she is willing, I will be with her no matter what."
This was not the first time that Shen Chaochen met Hu Mei. When he heard Hu Mei say this, it was obvious that Ruan Qingyue had just told Hu Mei about her relationship with her in the kitchen. This alone was enough. This made Shen Chaochen happy.
"You two are really talented and good-looking. You are both so good-looking. How beautiful will your children be when you get married?"
As soon as Hu Mei said these words, Shen Chaochen's ears were already turning red. At this moment, he was thinking about what Hu Mei said, and he was thinking about the future with anticipation.
"It's time to eat, brother Chen, sister-in-law, it's time to eat."
The stir-fried gourd made by Ruan Qingyue came out quickly, and her voice broke the two people's illusions about their children.
"Coming."
Hu Mei responded and quickly went to work in the kitchen. Shen Chaochen followed him to the kitchen and watched Ruan Qingyue bring out a plate of stir-fried gourd and put it on the table. The color was good and the smell was good. Shen Chaochen was very curious about Ruan Qingyue's cooking. What does the food taste like?
Ruan Qingyue came over with chopsticks and sat down. She handed the chopsticks to Shen Chaochen and looked at Shen Chaochen expectantly, waiting for him to take a bite of the food he cooked.
Shen Chaochen was looking forward to it, so he picked up a piece of gourd and started eating.
The gourd was crisp, tender and refreshing, moderately salty, and tasted very good. However, Shen Chaochen frowned slightly and refused to say a word.
Ruan Qingyue looked at Shen Chaochen working anxiously on the side. She thought her cooking was not delicious, so she quickly took a bite and tasted it.
"Brother Chen, you did it on purpose. Isn't this okay? I thought it tasted so bad that you were speechless."
After Ruan Qingyue tasted it, she opened her mouth to Shen Chaochen with a smile on her face, and the meaning of coquettishness was very obvious.
Shen Chaochen just looked at Ruan Qingyue with a smile, and continued to pick up the gourd and put it in his mouth.
"I didn't say it tasted bad, why are you so nervous!"
Shen Chaochen approached Ruan Qingyue, whispered something in her ear, and then took the bowl and started eating, as if he had said everything.
Ruan Qingyue's pretty face was slightly red, and she felt secretly unconvinced when she saw Shen Chaochen eating like a normal person.
After finishing the meal, the sky also darkened, and Ruan Qingyue sent Shen Chaochen out. At the gate, Ruan Qingyue suddenly raised her toes and climbed onto Shen Chaochen's shoulders, approaching his face.
Shen Chaochen froze, and even his breathing stopped for a moment.
"Don't be late for work tomorrow. Let your senior brother come to the company for an internship! I can trust the person you brought out personally."
After Ruan Qingyue said this, she turned around and ran away. After only two steps, Shen Chaochen caught her and held her in her arms.
"Okay, let him officially join the company the day after tomorrow. You, the boss, will have to sign it then."
