Although Zhuo Xi received the mint, he was still worried because he noticed that her foot seemed to be injured.
"Mint, what's wrong with your foot? Are you okay?" he asked worriedly.
"It's okay, I just tripped over a stone, it's just a small wound." She smiled weakly, then took out a tissue to cover the broken skin and bleeding area.
Zhuo Xi was still worried, "This won't work. The weather is so hot and a little bit of dust can easily cause infection. I'd better take you to the hospital for a checkup."
"No, it would be ridiculous to go to the hospital with such a small wound." Mint said quickly.
While Zhuo Xi was driving, he looked at her feet distractedly, "Are you sure you're okay?"
"It's okay, really!"
"Okay then, I won't go to the hospital, but I have to go to the pharmacy first, and at least put a band-aid on it first." Zhuoxi said very carefully.
Mint sighed with a smile, "You are really exaggerating!"
Zhuo Xi smiled slightly, turned the steering wheel, turned onto another road, paused for a moment, and then said again, "I just arrived downstairs at the Convention and Exhibition Center, and I saw you walking this way from a distance, and there was a black car.
The car has been following you..."
Mint's expression froze slightly, and he pretended not to care and said, "It's Guan Shouheng."
Zhuo Xi was not surprised. In fact, he recognized the car at a glance. He was just worried.
"Mint, didn't you say you wanted to resign last time? Why didn't you do it again? If you are really unhappy, just resign as soon as possible. I can help you with liquidated damages, so don't wrong yourself."
Mint nodded gratefully, "I know, but I was a little impulsive last time. I won't be so impulsive again in the future."
"But……"
"Zhuoxi, I understand what you mean, but you don't have to worry about me. I'm stronger than you think, and the relationship between him and me has ended long ago. We are just colleagues now, and he is my boss. We usually work together.
There wasn’t much contact there.”
Zhuo Xi was silent for a while, and then said earnestly, "Okay, no matter what, I support your choice. But you must also promise me not to wrong yourself, otherwise not only me, but also An An will be worried.
of."
Mentioning An An, Mint's heart felt even warmer, "You came from Wu You's house, right? Is An An getting anxious waiting for me?"
Zhuo Xi smiled and nodded, "He also left a chicken drumstick for you."
Mint couldn't help but chuckle, feeling moved but sad at the same time.
There was a signboard for a pharmacy not far ahead. Zhuo Xi quickly drove the car over and stopped slowly.
Mint sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to follow him out of the car, and the two of them stepped into the 24-hour pharmacy together.
"Good evening, sir, madam, what do you need?" the salesperson asked politely.
"Her toe is injured, please see what kind of medicine she can put on it, and then some band-aids." Zhuoxi replied quickly.
Mint frowned in annoyance, finding it funny.
The salesperson was slightly startled, why did so many people get injured toes today?
"I'm sorry, sir, there are no more band-aids. A gentleman just bought the last few. We can't replenish them at this late hour. We only have ointments now, is that okay?"
"Okay, okay!" Mint nodded quickly.
Zhuo Xi had no choice but to accept it, but the ointment alone was not enough. After applying the medicine, it still needed to be wrapped, so he asked the salesperson, "Is there any gauze?"
"Yes, sir." The salesperson brought out a roll of white gauze. "Sir, do you think this is okay?"
Zhuo Xi nodded, "Okay."
The salesperson immediately opened the ticket and said, "Please go to the cashier on the right to pay."
Zhuo Xi rushed to check out again.
A few minutes later, the two left the pharmacy and returned to the car.
Zhuo Xi took a pack of wet wipes and handed it to Mint, "You wipe the dust first, and then apply the medicine quickly. If it takes a long time, you may be infected."
Mint couldn't help but sigh. Originally, she thought it was nothing, but when he made him so nervous, it seemed as if she had been seriously injured!
"Okay, okay, I'll be there soon." She reluctantly took the things, took off her shoes, and began to treat the wound.
First wipe the dust and blood stains on the toes with a wet wipe, clean them, apply ointment, and finally wrap them with gauze.
This small bandage is very simple and can be done in two minutes, but the toes are wrapped with gauze after all, which makes it difficult to wear shoes, especially the narrow fish-mouth shoes she wore today.
Mint couldn't help but feel annoyed and looked at Zhuo Xi funny, "Look, it's all your fault that I can't even put my shoes on!"
Zhuo Xi looked at her "bloated" toes and couldn't help but want to laugh, "What's the point? Just buy a pair of slippers."
After saying that, he actually drove towards the shoe store.
"Hey, I'm kidding you!" Mint said quickly.
But Zhuo Xi had already made up his mind, but there seemed to be no shoe store on this street. After driving around for a while, he finally found only a small shop similar to "Ah Ya Ya".
However, there are also slippers in the shop window, although they look a bit cartoony.
Mint almost exclaimed, "Zhuoxi, please, I'm 27 years old. Those are only clothes worn by children or girls!"
Zhuo Xi disagreed, smiled, opened the door and got out of the car.
In order to prevent him from buying indiscriminately, Mint had to get out of the car, dragging her fish-mouthed shoes that she couldn't fit into, and stumbled into the store.
The salesperson in the small store is a young girl. When she saw Zhuo Xi, her eyes immediately lit up and she introduced her with all her strength, "Sir, look, our slippers are the most popular Korean and Japanese style... The pattern on it
It all comes from..."
Mint was speechless and turned around with sweat. He glanced at it casually and saw a very beautiful cup.
In fact, the cup was nothing special, it was just a simple porcelain cup, without even a lid, but the pattern on the cup was very special, it was a beautiful mint flower.
She couldn't help but be curious, reached out and picked it up to play with.
"You want to buy a cup?" Zhuo Xi didn't know when he arrived beside her.
"Well, I just wanted to buy one these days, but this one doesn't quite fit, but the pattern is nice." Mint put the cup back on the shelf.
Zhuo Xi picked it up again, looked at it carefully, and found that the texture was too rough, so he put it back, but promised, "Don't worry, I will help you find one with better quality."
Mint smiled and sighed, and the two left the shop immediately.
Not long after, we arrived at Wu Yinan's house.
Dinner was over long ago, but Wu Yinan left some food for Mint, and An An specially left a chicken drumstick for her.
"Mom, hurry up and eat, these are specially reserved for you!" An An said sensibly.
Mint reached out and hugged her son, feeling warm in her heart, "Thank you An'an!"
Wu You was not to be outdone, and said like a treasure, "Aunt Mint, I also left a drink for you! This is so delicious, I didn't even want to drink it all, I left more than half of it for you!"
Before Mint Xiao could wait, Wu Yinan couldn't bear it anymore. Why was he everywhere?
"Wu You, come here! Clean up your room, you're going to bed soon!"
Wu You couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Mom, what time is it? I didn't go to bed that early!"
"Then what time do you want to go to bed? Tomorrow morning?" Wu Yinan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows at her son.
"If you don't mind me wasting electricity," Wu You said fearlessly.
Wu Yinan couldn't help but raise her hand and reward her son with a popcorn.
"Mom, why did you hit me again? Didn't you say that when I grow up, I can no longer hit but have to talk? Have you forgotten? Or are you trying to talk but not talking?" Wu You quickly protested loudly.
.
"You brat, how dare you talk back?" Wu Yinan couldn't help but narrowed her eyes.
"How could I talk back? I'm trying to reason with you! You said it yourself..." Wu You looked annoyed.
"Wu You! Can you say one more word and try?" Wu Yinan clenched her fist again to scare her son.
Wu You shut up in silence, with an unconvinced expression on his face.
Wu Yinan was angry and laughing, rubbing his rainbow head, sighing and saying, "Look at you, you are as big as An An, why are you so different? If An An is so good, you will make me angry!"
"Mom, you are still working in finance. I can't tell the difference! Although An An and I are the same age, he is n months older than me, okay?" Wu You dodged her mother's clutches and protected her hairstyle.
"How dare you talk back?" Wu Yinan raised her fist again.
Wu You, however, had already moved aside quickly with quick eyes and hands, and even hid behind Mint.
As expected, Mint couldn't help but plead for him, "Okay, Nannan, Wu You didn't mean to make you angry, so just spare him this time."
Wu Yinan couldn't help but sigh, "He is incorrigible!"
"How could it be? Wu You just loves to be naughty!" Mint actually admires Wu You's cheerfulness, and it would be nice if her An An could be more like that.
"Aunt Mint still has discernment!" Wu You couldn't help but mutter.
Of course Wu Yinan heard it and couldn't help grinding her teeth, "You brat, what did you say?"
"You obviously heard it, why do you have to ask me to repeat it? Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed in front of everyone?" Wu You glanced at Zhuo Xi, who had not spoken for a long time.
Wu Yinan rolled her eyes angrily, "You brat, you are really a little kid!"
Mint felt that she had been wronged. She was obviously interceding for him, so why did she get involved?
Zhuo Xi also felt a little embarrassed. Why was he being teased by a child?
"Uh... I'm going to the balcony to smoke a cigarette." He stood up and said.
As soon as Zhuoxi left, Wu Yinan immediately grabbed Mint and persuaded her kindly, "Mint, I think Zhuoxi is really good. Can you think about it?"
Mint couldn't help but smile and sigh, "Nannan, I've told you before, Zhuoxi and I are just friends!"
"Friends can also develop into lovers! You and Zhuo Xi have known each other for so many years. You should know how he treats you!"
"It's clear, but I rejected him a few years ago."
"Then why don't you give him a chance?"
Mint still shook his head, "Zhuoxi just sympathizes with me. I don't want to take advantage of his feelings, let alone hurt him. As you said, he is very good, so he deserves better, a woman who treats him wholeheartedly.
"
"Mom, haven't you heard that melons that are forced are not sweet?" Wu You came out of nowhere and interrupted.
Wu Yinan turned back quickly, her beautiful eyes narrowed, "Wu You, go to bed quickly!"
Wu You curled her lips and quickly hid behind An An.
An An stepped forward, but instead of interceding for Wu You, she looked at Mint seriously, "Mom, I also think Aunt Nannan is right, Uncle Zhuoxi is really good!"
Mint smiled helplessly, "Why do you two so hope that I get married quickly?"
Wu You interrupted again, "Aunt Mint, I don't! Although I also think Uncle Zhuoxi is good, I think it would be better for you to get back together with An An's father. This is how it is played on TV!"
Wu Yinan was going crazy, "Wu You, if you keep talking nonsense, be careful and I will really beat you up!"
"Mom, I'm not talking nonsense, everything I said is true! I have met An An's father, he is very handsome, and he has a lot of content and a very charming personality! So I vote for him! Besides,
Now, An An is his biological child, so it is better than other men. In the future, An An will be more comfortable and happier when we get along with him!" Wu You said very reasonably, thinking to himself.
Before Wu Yinan could get angry, An An retorted first and said with a serious face, "It doesn't matter to me, as long as my mother is happy, it doesn't matter if it's my father or Uncle Zhuoxi, as long as it's someone who can make my mother happy, it's really not possible.
, I will live on campus from now on. Anyway, I am already so old and I have to be independent sooner or later. Mom’s happiness is the most important thing!”
Mint was heartbroken when she heard this, and Wu Yinan was also in tears, but she couldn't cry, so she had to turn around and ridicule her son, "Wu You, listen, listen, An An is more sensible, if only you were half as good as An An, no, even if
It’s only one tenth, so I’m thankful to God!”
Wu You rolled his eyes fiercely, "Okay, okay, I promise you, if you meet a prince charming in the future, I will also take the initiative to pick up my baggage and run away from home! At that time, I will go to a boarding school, or simply get out of the country.
It doesn't matter!" After saying that, he paused for three seconds and couldn't help but add, "But... what idiot prince would want to marry you?"
"Wu You! If you don't get beaten today, won't you feel uncomfortable all over?" Wu Yinan waved her fist.
"Ah——" Wu You hugged his head and ran away.
Mint looked at the mother and son with a smile, couldn't help shaking her head, and ignored them because she was used to it.
An An ignored it. Anyway, Aunt Nan Nan would not really "kill the killer". Even if Wu You was hit, it wouldn't really hurt that much. The howling of ghosts and wolves was really exaggerated!
"Mom, you should eat quickly, otherwise it will get cold again later!" An An said thoughtfully.
Mint felt warm in her heart, "Would An An want to eat some more?"
"No, I was very full before."
Mint smiled slightly.
Wu Yinan and Wu You, mother and son, chased each other for a long time, but in the end they could only tie, and both of them stopped panting.
Wu Yinan paused and put down his fists. Wu You immediately hid behind Mint, with a look of pride on his face.
Wu Yinan was too lazy to pay attention to him and sat down on the chair next to him.
"Aunt Mint, you eat slowly and I'll accompany you! Also, after you finish eating, I'll just wash the dishes!" Wu You said in a rude manner, obviously making fun of Mint's inability to do housework.
Wu Yinan couldn't help but glare at him again, "Are you afraid that if you don't speak, others will think you are mute?"
"I won't be so unlucky!" Wu You said confidently.
"That's not necessarily the case! Your mother, I used to think that I would not be so unlucky, but I never thought that I would give birth to a stinky boy like you! You make yourself look pretty all day long, and you always talk nonsense, and you are always angry.
Me!" Wu Yinan couldn't help but mock her son again.
"It's too late for you to regret it. You've already given birth to a baby and you raised her so big!" Wu You curled her lips and said proudly.
Wu Yinan was angry and annoyed, and Mint couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Aunt Nan Nan, just wait for me to wash the dishes!" An An said very sensibly.
Wu Yinan was immediately envious of Mint, "Mint, how do you teach your son so well? How about we switch?"
Mint,"……"
An An, "..."
After Wu You was stunned for three seconds, he rolled his eyes fiercely, "Mom, if you envy this, you might as well envy Aunt Mint for having a suitor like Uncle Zhuoxi!"
"What's wrong with me?" Zhuo Xi came back from "smoking" on the balcony and heard his name again, and couldn't help asking funnyly.
"Haha, it's nothing." Wu You was forced by the pressure of her mother's eyes and quickly shook her head in denial.
Soon, Bo Bo finished her meal and An An packed her things. Mother and son took Zhuo Xi's car back to the small attic.
Early the next morning, Mint got up early to get ready for work as usual, and An An also got up to get ready for school.
"Ding dong——" the doorbell rang.
Mint hurriedly walked to open the door and looked through the door mirror, seeing that it was the courier.
"Hello, is this Miss Mint?"
"Yes, it's me."
"Okay, here is a courier for you. Please sign for it."
Mint was confused, how could she have express delivery?
After signing for it, she hurriedly opened the package curiously. Inside the carton, under layers of soft packages, was a very exquisite cup. It was made of pure white porcelain, exquisite and elegant. The cup body and lid both had beautiful markings.
Mint flowers.
An An was also curious, "Mom, did you buy it online?"
Mint shook his head, remembering the scene in the shop last night, and murmured, "It should have been given by your Uncle Zhuoxi."
