In a blink of an eye, it’s New Year’s Eve, a rare occasion in the year.
In the past ten days, Chu Qiao and Meng Yanchen no longer quarreled, but just got along indifferently. Meng Yanchen did not push Chu Qiao, and Chu Qiao did not avoid him intentionally. The two lived in different rooms. If Sister Wan cooked
After the meal is ready, Chu Qiao will eat with Meng Yanchen. If Sister Wan doesn't cook, Chu Qiao will cook some delicious dishes herself.
But apart from that, Meng Yanchen and Chu Qiao were as calm as a pool of stagnant water. Even if they understood, no one was willing to take the initiative to break this dead silence... This kind of relationship is rare.
Today is New Year's Eve.
Sister Wan and her family have returned to their hometown a long time ago. Naturally, Meng Yanchen and Chu Qiao don't have to go to work.
This is a rare time of leisure for Meng Yanchen in a year.
When he got up, he saw Chu Qiao wearing an apron and busy cooking New Year dishes in the kitchen. Her long curly hair was tied into a ponytail, hanging refreshingly in her head. She was holding a spoon seriously and was tasting it.
He squinted his eyes while tasting the soup that was about to come out of the oven, with a faint smile on his lips.
Meng Yanchen was unconsciously fascinated, his footsteps gradually approached Chu Qiao, and his eyes became gentle.
When he approached, Chu Qiao suddenly turned around and wanted to get a soup bowl to fill up the bone soup.
However, as soon as she turned around, she felt something soft brushing her cheek.
Chu Qiao's almond-shaped eyes narrowed, and her heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect that Meng Yanchen was so close to her, and the thing that brushed her cheek just now was his thin lips. She was nervous, and all the cells in her body were nervous.
Shouting.
"You, why are you here? Could it be that you don't make any sound when you walk?" Chu Qiao widened her eyes and said loudly. In fact, she wanted to hide the nervousness in her heart.
"I don't know if there is any sound? I know that you were too focused and didn't see me!" Meng Yanchen smiled in a good mood, teasing Chu Qiao while stretching his head to look at the food on her pot.
Thing: "Let me see, did you burn something delicious for me today?"
"Bone soup, I was thinking, should we have hot pot together tonight?" Chu Qiao curled her lips and said.
"Chu Qiao, what do you mean, you don't have to go back tonight? Can you stay with me to watch the New Year's Eve?" Meng Yanchen heard Chu Qiao's words and asked in surprise. This was Chu Qiao and him together.
The first year. Since the incident eight years ago, every New Year's Eve, he would sit alone in an empty room, eating the leftovers prepared by Sister Wan.
Of course, Sister Wan also invited him to go back to her hometown with her and experience the New Year atmosphere together. However, he is not Sister Wan's real family, and besides, that kind of atmosphere is difficult for him to truly integrate into. Therefore, he is not a real family member of Sister Wan.
, Chinese New Year is often just a matter of letting himself rest for a few days for him, nothing too important! However, this year’s New Year’s Eve is a little different...
Chu Qiao's eyes narrowed slightly, she lowered her head, stirred the bones in the pot with a spoon, and said lightly: "Well, I won't go back today. I will go back tomorrow morning..." Aunt Xue will definitely not want her to go back to celebrate the New Year together.
Aunt Xue, dad, and Xiaoruo, this is the real family. Her appearance will only affect their happiness. Moreover, on the surface, Aunt Xue may be sarcastic to her, but in the end, dad is the only one here
Difficult.
"Yeah." Meng Yanchen leaned on the edge of the cooking table and looked at the busy Chu Qiao with satisfaction. He was secretly eating some ingredients, provoking a lesson from Chu Qiao. The two of them had a tacit understanding not to mention it.
Separate, don't mention the children, just focus on the trivial matters in front of you.
Meng Yanchen has not forgotten it, and Chu Qiao has not forgotten it, but they just pretended not to mention it and did not mention the fuse. Anyway, after this year, she will leave the city, and she is already secretly
She started looking for a job, and her resignation letter was already in her email. As soon as she paid this month's salary, Chu Qiao would automatically resign.
Just at this time.
A bell rang outside the door.
Chu Qiao glanced sideways at Meng Yanchen and spread her hands towards her: "Would you like to take a look? My hands are still dirty?"
Meng Yanchen just nodded and said nothing more.
Meng Yanchen walked to the living room and saw Meng Yanxi displayed on the screen.
"Brother, it's me!"
"Come in!" Meng Yanchen flicked his finger on the flat screen, and the door to the courtyard opened.
Chu Qiao poked her head out of the kitchen and asked, "Who is here?"
"It's Yanxi!" Meng Yanchen answered truthfully. Fortunately, it wasn't Xu Anran. The person he least wanted to see now was Xu Anran. He felt guilty for her, but he didn't want to take responsibility and marry her. So,
In the past few days, he was looking for someone from a law firm to secretly draft some legal payments to protect the interests of Xu Anran and the baby. Whether it was the birth, upbringing, or even the child's education, he would give him the best possible solution.
Okay. In the future, he will also get his share of Meng’s shares.
Chu Qiao said, already wiping off the grease on her hands, with a smile on her lips.
Meng Yanxi also walked in: "Chu Qiao, brother..."
Meng Yanchen snorted coldly and agreed. Secretly, he still didn't want Yanxi to come over. In this way, the New Year's Eve for two people would become three people, which felt a bit nondescript! For the first time, he felt that this younger brother was very special.
Terrible scenery!
A wry smile escaped from the corner of Meng Yanxi's mouth, and he turned his gaze to Chu Qiao, and said in a gentle voice: "It seems that I am not very popular today when I come here?" He said it in a half-joking tone, which seemed to be a bit aggrieved.
"As long as you know……"
Before Meng Yanchen finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chu Qiao, who also gave him a big eye roll: "Yanxi, how could this happen? Don't listen to your brother's nonsense... We will only be happy if you come!"
I made pork bone soup today and am going to have hot pot tonight, let’s go together! Eating hot pot together makes the atmosphere more exciting!”
Meng Yanchen puffed out his cheeks with a look of displeasure. He originally thought that Yanxi would only stay until the afternoon at most, but looking at this, he planned to stay for dinner. No, this was definitely not possible, but looking at Chu Qiao's smile, he
I had no choice but to compromise and said, "Yeah, let's go together!"
Chu Qiao smoothed her bangs and said, "Then you guys can talk slowly later. I'll go to the supermarket and buy some ingredients for dinner!" As he spoke, he untied the apron behind his back.
"Chu Qiao, I'll go with you. It's inconvenient for you to carry it alone, so I'll take you there in the car!" Meng Yanxi walked over and took Chu Qiao's apron with a gentle smile on her face.
Meng Yanxi smiled proudly. This brother looked mature, and was also said to be cold and cruel. In front of Chu Qiao, he was like an awkward child who couldn't get candy. In the past few days, he had also thought clearly.
There was nothing different between him and Chu Qiao, only fate.
However, if it’s bad, it’s bad. No matter how much you make up for it, it won’t help…
Therefore, if possible, he still hopes to fulfill the person he loves the most and respects the most!
