Chapter 311: How Long It's Been Since Your Relatives Came
There is a saying on Hong Kong Island that says, "If you can't afford to stay at The Peninsula, come to The Peninsula for afternoon tea." ”
As a long-established hotel standing on the edge of the Xiangjiang River for nearly 100 years, there are too many legends here.
Three Rolls-Royce Phantoms are parked in front of the door as part of a fleet of pick-up and drop-off vehicles, two of which The Peninsula has. One is 17 Rolls-Royce, and the other is a Mini Cooper. They all have a specific Peninsula Green color scheme, which gives you a sense of the overall corporate culture before you even enter a hotel room.
The hotel is gorgeous, with plenty of neoclassical and baroque decorations, and even Leslie Cheung once said, "Only I can hold up the ceiling of the peninsula baroque." ”
Lin Dingqiang can naturally afford to live in the Peninsula Hotel now, he chose the Victoria sea view room, but there are still some episodes when booking the room, it turns out that this hotel has to charge a deposit every night, the key is that the deposit can not be used in the mainland commonly used Alipay, WeChat payment, Lin Dingqiang did not have a credit card, so he had to wait for Xin Qing to come, and then let her give the deposit, which can be regarded as a little embarrassment of Shenhao.
The dinner for two was at the hotel's in-house restaurant, The Verandah, a seafood buffet that was priced at 808 yuan per person. Compared with price and food, Lin Dingqiang prefers the comfort, spaciousness and less intrusive service that the restaurant offers.
The middle area is the appetizer area, which offers different kinds of cheese. There are bilingual labels next to each cheese, in order to prevent people who are not familiar with cheese from choosing blue cheese, and then they will really eat Western Wang Zhihe.
Next to the appetizer is Xin Qing's favorite salad bar, which provides a variety of salad ingredients that can be freely matched, and even the salad dressing is seven or eight kinds, which completely immerses Xin Qing in it.
The two went their separate ways, Xin Qing mixed her favorite salad, while Lin Dingqiang went to the main food area to get some prawns, squid and abalone.
After the meal was served, the two sat at the table, and Xin Qing asked with a smile, "Lao Lin, what kind of wine do you drink?"
Lin Dingqiang immediately said, "Why don't we drink some water tonight?" You've been tired all day. ”
Xin Qing's face immediately turned cloudy, and when Lin Dingqiang saw the willow eyebrows frowning slightly, he opened his mouth and said, "Okay, okay! You can only drink a glass of red wine, not too much." ”
After hearing Lin Dingqiang's words, Xin Qing laughed again, "What's the matter? I'm afraid that I'll drink too much and eat you?"
"Oh, where is that? I'm afraid you'll drink too much and sleep like a dead pig. Lin Dingqiang responded, and then asked the waiter to open a bottle of red wine, and poured a small half glass for Xin Qing before the two officially ate it.
......
After dinner, the two went upstairs, as soon as they entered the door, Xin Qing saw the night view of Victoria Harbour through the floor-to-ceiling glass, she ran to the window, and said happily: "Lao Lin, come quickly! Let's take a group photo!"
Lin Dingqiang put the red wine that he hadn't finished drinking on the table, walked to Xin Qing's side, looking at the drunken red on his cheeks and smelling the faint smell of wine on his body, he still couldn't rest assured, he wanted to find an opportunity to tell Xin Qing about it.
"Laugh at it. Xin Qing took out her mobile phone, and the two turned their backs to Victoria Harbour, "Don't be so serious!"
Lin Dingqiang finally squeezed out a smile, and waited for Xin Qing to take five or six photos before he straightened up, "Why don't you go wash it first?"
Xin Qing's big eyes sparkled, and the dimples on her face hung up, "Enmm... Lao Lin, are you moving your mind?"
"I don't have any crooked eyes," Lin Dingqiang defended: "You see that you are tired all day, and it is easier to take a wash." ”
Xin Qing put her phone aside, "Okay! Then you wait for me!"
After speaking, Xin Qing slipped into the bathroom, and Lin Dingqiang took the rest of the red wine in his hand and drank half a bottle, as if to give himself courage.
"That's it!
After Xin Qing finished washing, she came behind Lin Dingqiang and hugged him from behind.
"Have you drunk?" Xin Qing sniffed, "Drinking alone, you're really interesting!
Lin Dingqiang turned around and looked at Xin Qing in a bathrobe, and the heat between his eyes also broke out at this moment, but after a second, he regained his composure.
"Xin Qing, I want to ask you a question. Lin Dingqiang said seriously.
"What's the problem?"
Lin Dingqiang took a deep breath and said slowly, "How long has it been since your relatives came?"
Xin Qing was stunned, "Why do you ask this?"
"I remember the last time you asked me to buy sanitary napkins for you late at night was more than a month ago. Lin Dingqiang lied and said: "And the two of us are so young, will we ......?"
Both of them looked at their abdomen, and Xin Qing's face turned even redder, "No." I've always had irregular periods, so I should be here in a few days, right?"
"Do you want to take a test?" Lin Dingqiang continued: "So you and I can rest assured." ”
Xin Qing lowered her head, for the sake of safety, she picked up her phone again, opened Meiyu, and looked at the prediction above, it was indeed the aunt's stage.
"Lao Lin, why don't you go down and buy a test strip?" Xin Qing suddenly became nervous, and her whole person spoke intermittently.
Lin Dingqiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, I'll go." ”
After speaking, Lin Dingqiang walked towards the door. And Xin Qing stood in place in a daze, and asked, "Lao Lin, if there is, what should I do?"
"I'll raise you!"
After hearing Lin Dingqiang's reply, Xin Qing's nervousness finally eased a little, she walked to the mini bar, drank a few more sips of water, and waited for Lin Dingqiang to come back.
Lin Dingqiang bought four or five different types of pregnancy tests and test strips, and hurried back to the hotel.
As soon as the door was opened, Xin Qing was already waiting in the bathroom.
Lin Dingqiang handed the thing to her, "Try it." ”
Xin Qing nodded firmly, but when she looked at the number, she laughed again, "So many?"
"Refer to the experiment!" Lin Dingqiang actually knew the result, but he still had endless expectations in his heart, wanting to see the signs of the two bars with his own eyes.
"You go out and wait for me. Xin Qing closed the door, while Lin Dingqiang paced restlessly in the room, waiting for Xin Qing to call him.
The atmosphere was unusually quiet, Lin Dingqiang always paid attention to the movement of the bathroom, and after about three minutes, Xin Qing opened the door, and he walked up quickly, "How is it?"
Xin Qing said anxiously: "Lao Lin, I don't dare to look at it!
"Good!"
Lin Dingqiang walked into the bathroom and looked at the various verification tools he bought on the sink. His eyes were locked on the display area, and his heartbeat accelerated at this moment.
About thirty seconds later, the result appeared on one of the pregnancy test sticks, and the purple parallel bars appeared in front of him, and his heart thumped, and countless words blocked his throat.
"Lao Lin, what's wrong?" Xin Qing leaned on the crack in the door and poked her head out.
Lin Dingqiang turned around and said, "Daughter-in-law, you are the squadron leader!"
