4, seemingly unintentional, three people per table
"No, Qiao Ye asked me to call you. Let's eat together." Xie Yunshu said this casually, but it couldn't help but attract Shen Ce's sideways glance.
"Really?" Shen Ce tilted his head to look at her. She still had a confused expression and had no idea why.
Being in the spring breeze in the backyard, Shen Ce lacked the warmth he should have had. He turned to look in the direction of the house, guessing what Qiao Ye was thinking. Knowing his feelings, he let the three of them eat together and witnessed the two of them. Deep affection. Is he deliberately making himself uncomfortable? Or is he trying to test himself and demonstrate to himself?
It has to be said that Qiao Ye is a scheming rival in love. He even wants to control the emotions of the three of them. But is what he did today really just to play with himself? Isn't it a bit childish?
"Shen Ce?" Xie Yunshu looked at him in confusion. Wasn't he just asking him to eat together? What was he thinking? He didn't agree, looking worried.
What should be faced must be faced, and she would think too much if she hesitated any longer.
"Nothing, let's go." Shen Ce patted the dust on his hands and walked towards the house first.
She jumped up from the bench, walked back with him, looked at his left arm, and advised: "If your arm is not good, just rest more. These flowers are taken care of by gardeners." He used to exercise every day, and now Unable to move, one can imagine how bored he is.
He was still thinking about Qiao Ye and had no intention of answering: "If you can't practice swordsmanship, find something to do." Although tending to flowers and plants is a trivial thing, it can make people calm and is a good way to relieve emotions.
Xie Yunshu chuckled, "You really can't sit still, do you have any plans for the afternoon?" She followed him for a few steps and walked back side by side. Today, Shen Ce seemed a little serious and was thinking about something.
"No." He looked forward, but his heart was following her every move, and he couldn't help but laugh at himself.
She carefully discussed with him: "I will go to the mall with Qiao Ye and the confinement nanny to buy new clothes for the baby. Can you be at home?" In the past, without him at home, she could rest assured as long as the confinement nanny and Butler Feng were there. , but now it is different, with a double threat.
Shen Ce glanced at the large window on the back wall of the house, and could faintly see that Qiao Ye was standing there, because he could not see clearly due to the reflection of the glass. He calmly replied to her: "I don't know how to take care of children." Qiao Ye looked like a child. Watcher, since he was watching, he couldn't even look at her next to him, but kept keeping a distance from her.
Xie Yunshu skipped on the lawn in the sun, looking at him strangely, "There is also a one-month-old sister-in-law, just protect her from bad people, such as Qiao Liancheng and so on."
Only then did he realize that she had come to beg him for this reason, and asked: "Are you worried that he will come and take the child away?"
"Yeah!" She didn't hide it from him and nodded fiercely, her worry evident in her words.
Turning the corner of the house and walking along the wall to the front yard, he pondered for a moment and said: "Now that the child has just recovered, he doesn't dare to come again. If he gets sick, he will also have a headache." Qiao Liancheng wanted to steal the two grandchildren from his daughter-in-law. Custody rights are not so impatient.
Just as she was about to reach the door, she grabbed his sleeve and said stubbornly: "No matter what, I have to guard against him anyway." Although Qiao Ye was her good husband, Qiao Liancheng didn't mean much to her. After a good impression, the two of them were treated separately by her.
Shen Ce knew that the chance of her concerns happening was very small, so he still assumed: "What if I'm here and he comes to rob her?" It was his duty to let him stay here, but interfering with her family affairs was another matter. , maybe this will offend Qiao Ye.
She hugged his right arm and said coquettishly: "Shen Ce, you are so powerful, who can beat you?" Even if Qiao Liancheng brings a group of people, he can still stand alone.
They were so close, but his heart inevitably ached. He was startled, took his arms out of her hands, and whispered: "Don't do this in the future, Qiao Ye will be jealous if he sees it." What he was really afraid of was It was Qiao Ye's madness that angered her and caused her to be hurt unconsciously.
She didn't take it seriously, raised her chin and said, "You are my brother, why should he be jealous?"
He touched her head and said softly: "Be obedient, let's go into the house." He stepped forward and pushed the door open to distance himself from her.
"Okay." She vaguely felt that Shen Ce was a little different today, but she couldn't tell what was different.
Seeing Shen Ce and Xie Yunshu entering the door, Qiao Ye stood up from the dining table, took a set of bowls and chopsticks from Butler Feng, placed them on his left side, and said to Shen Ce: "Shen Ce, come and sit down after washing your hands. , the food is getting cold." No two people had treated him as a relative before.
Shen Ce looked back at Qiao Ye with deep eyes, his face remained calm, he smiled and nodded.
Xie Yunshu walked to the dining table, glanced at the dishes on the table, and said in surprise: "Wow, there are a few more dishes, all of which I like." Then he quickly went to the kitchen to wash his hands, hurriedly rushed back to the dining table and sat down. Go down and grab the chopsticks.
Qiao Ye sat in the main seat, took her hand on the right to check, frowned slightly and said: "Didn't you wash your hands carefully?" After a cursory look, there seemed to be no stains.
She withdrew her hand, took the chopsticks and began to look at the dishes on the table, saying: "I didn't touch anything, my hands are clean." They were all delicious, and she didn't know where to start.
Shen Ce was washing his hands in the bathroom, with the sound of running water. Qiao Ye asked her seemingly unintentionally: "I asked you to ask Shen Ce to come for dinner. What took you so long? What were the two of you talking about in the backyard?" He was in front of the glass of the restaurant. You can see it clearly, and you won't be able to talk as much as just calling for dinner.
She smiled mysteriously, with sly eyes, "I won't tell you the secret!" Considering that Shen Ce hadn't served the table yet, she didn't take down her chopsticks, but waited for him.
Qiao Ye didn't ask any more questions, and followed her with a smile: "Well, you must say bad things about me." There was no secret between her and Shen Ce, and there was no secret between him and her.
Xie Yunshu smiled angrily and nodded, "You guessed it right!"
Turning his head, Shen Ce had walked out of the bathroom and sat down obediently at the place arranged by Qiao Ye, his expression as usual.
Xie Yunshu diligently picked up the food for him, including a large piece of sweet and sour pork tenderloin with chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Shen Ce, eat the food quickly, this one is the best." Then he picked it up for himself and put it into his mouth without placing it firmly in the bowl.
Shen Ce accepted it calmly and said, "It must be your favorite food." Seeing her happy face in front of the food, he was almost infected by her joy.
She looked at him in confusion, "How do you know?" As the two of them went back and forth, they inadvertently left Qiao Ye aside in the main seat.
Shen Ce observed Qiao Ye from the corner of his eye. He was silently picking up vegetables, and he answered her: "I stare at it every time."
"Hehe, yes." This brother is pretty good. He even remembers which dish she likes. I'm afraid Qiao Ye doesn't know this.
There was something slightly wrong in the atmosphere. In order to ease the situation, Shen Ce chuckled and said to her: "Help Qiao Ye pick up the food, otherwise he will call me a light bulb in his heart."
Xie Yunshu turned to Qiao Ye and asked, "Husband, you can't do that, right?" If Shen Ce was really treated like a light bulb, how could he invite him to have dinner with him?
Qiao Ye withdrew from his thoughts, looked at Shen Ce with a smile, and replied: "Well, if you call Shen Ce brother, you should treat him well."
She understood and gave Shen Ce a look that I didn't expect, "Look, eat quickly, or we can have this meal until noon." She habitually picked up her favorite dishes and put them in Qiao Ye's bowl. .
After thinking for a while, he asked: "Husband, why don't you pick up some food for me?"
Qiao Ye said angrily: "You are already eating very happily. If I add more, you will eat like a piglet." In terms of eating, he never had to worry about her poor appetite, he only had to stop her from eating snacks.
She puffed up her cheeks and retorted unhappily: "I don't have one! I'm very thin!"
"Really?" He asked questioningly as he looked up and down her body.
"Well..." She instantly understood what he was referring to. Less than an hour ago, in the bathtub, he pinched the flesh of her inner thighs and sighed: With these soft fats, it feels much better.
Xie Yunshu blushed. Seeing that he was well-dressed now, but she could still think of his naked appearance. She was led astray by him! Dismissing those thoughts of being naked, she lowered her head and took a big bite of rice.
Qiao Ye chuckled, ignoring her head that was almost buried in the bowl, and continued to eat leisurely.
After lunch, the two of them went out with their confinement nanny and took a driver-driven car to the shopping mall in the city.
Before getting into the car, Xie Yunshu did not forget to run back to the door, whispered a few words in the ear of Shen Ce who was watching the others, patted him on the shoulder, and left with peace of mind.
After the car drove out of the hospital and disappeared, Shen Ce did not go back to the house immediately. He stood on the steps above, lost in thought. I still remember that time, she sat here for several hours in thin clothes, just waiting for Qiao Ye. When she came back, she asked her questions clearly about the things that were brooding in her heart, and finally, using both soft and hard tactics, she got her to wear more clothes.
She looks weak in appearance, but has a stubborn personality that even nine bulls can control, but her emotional intelligence is extremely low, and she cannot understand anything with even the slightest meaning. She should probably be protected by the complex and wise Qiao Ye. , she will never have the chance to bear her deep feelings in this life.
Whether he was going against her or not, I really can't tell.
He went back inside, closed the door, entered his room, and began to prepare the things for her.
Indeed, he hesitated. Although he could see her every day if he stayed here, he would have to encounter Qiao Ye's open and covert attacks from time to time. He was under the eaves, and his mood was not getting better.
People have to leave a way out for themselves, and also think about her who is ignorant. Her road ahead is still full of ups and downs. He should have prepared for her in advance. There are too many things that she has not learned yet, and there is too much knowledge that he still has time to give to her. .
Just take it one step at a time, complete what needs to be done first, and then he can leave with peace of mind.
