Qiao Xihe was very helpless, "When you talk about serious things, can you be serious?"

"You are my wife, I am your husband," Pei Tingyuan said: "Husband and wife holding hands, what's wrong?"

Qiao Xihe said: "Shouldn't you find someone to inquire about the news now?"

"That's right. Pei Tingyuan let go of his hand, took out his mobile phone, rummaged through the address book for a while, and pressed a certain number, "I need to ask you for something, I need to know some insider information about the kidnapping case that happened in Xisongyuan this morning...... Well, after all, I also live in this villa complex and want to make sure of my safety. ”

I don't know what was said over there, but he had a satisfied look on his face.

"Alright," he hung up, "the news will come soon." ”

"Hmm. Qiao Xihe nodded, and twisted his fingers twice nervously.

Back at the villa, Sister-in-law Wang was overjoyed when she saw that they had come back so early today, and she hurriedly put out the prepared dinner, and said to Qiao Xihe while arranging: "The young master informed me early in the morning, and you will come back for dinner." So, you're all set. ”

Qiao Xihe looked at it, and the dinner was actually prepared as a hot pot.

Washed green vegetables, fresh meat, all kinds of hand-made meatballs, and seven or eight other dishes, a table full of freshly squeezed juice and dipping sauce are placed on the side, and there is a mandarin duck pot on the induction cooker, on one side is the milky white pork rib soup cooked by home, and on the other side is the bright red spicy soup, but there are some Chinese medicines floating in the red soup.

Eating hot pot in summer is a very creative thing.

Sister-in-law Wang smiled and asked, "Young lady, take a look, if there are any other dishes you want to eat, I will prepare them for you." ”

Qiao Xihe hurriedly waved his hand, "No need, it's enough." ”

Pei Tingyuan took off his coat, took Qiao Xihe to sit down at the table, and instructed Sister-in-law Wang to adjust the temperature of the air conditioner.

The restaurant is cool, the hot pot is hot, and the two collide together, which is the most comfortable.

Qiao Xihe is not very good at eating spicy, but when facing hot pot, she can't help it, the more spicy it is, the more delicious it is, but unfortunately since the stomach problem is a little serious, she has been told to touch less spicy things.

She hadn't eaten hot pot for a while, and it was when she was hungry to death, so she couldn't help but scald a piece of beef, then dipped it in some dipping sauce, and carefully sent it to her mouth.

After chewing a few times, she found that the red soup that seemed to be very spicy was actually fine when she ate it in her mouth.

The spicy is just right.

Qiao Xihe was a little surprised, and asked Sister-in-law Wang, "This is the red soup you made yourself?"

Sister-in-law Wang nodded, "Yes, I put some Chinese medicinal materials in it to boil, so it won't stimulate the body too much, isn't it the habit of the young lady to eat?

Qiao Xihe said: "The spicinessness is just right. ”

Sister-in-law Wang squinted and laughed, "That's good." ”

"What do you want to eat?" Pei Tingyuan leaned over at this time, "I'll help you burn." ”

"You don't understand this, do you?" Qiao Xihe said with a head, "This kind of thing is hot pot, you have to burn it yourself, and it is the most refreshing to eat it yourself." ”

"That's right. Pei Tingyuan looked at Qiao Xihe's busy hot dishes, eating and drinking.

Qiao Xihe was sweating profusely after eating for a while, but she felt very refreshing, she picked up a hand-beaten shrimp ball, and was about to feast on it, when she suddenly noticed Pei Tingyuan's focused eyes.

"Why don't you eat? Look at me, it's impossible to fill your stomach. ”

Pei Tingyuan smiled evilly: "Who said that you can't fill your stomach if you eat it." ”

Qiao Xihe "chuckled" in his heart, Pei Tingyuan's appearance was really ill-intentioned, "It's shameful to waste food, you better hurry up and eat." ”

Pei Tingyuan poured her a full glass of sour plum juice before she started to eat.

When he was almost seventy or eighty full, Qiao Xihe touched his stomach and asked a curious question, "How did you come up with the idea of preparing hot pot today?"

"At noon today," Pei Tingyuan ate a piece of potato slowly and elegantly, as if that potato was a peerless treasure, "I saw you look at the hot pot restaurant next to you several times. ”

"Huh?" Qiao Xihe recalled noon, at that time, he was indeed hungry when he smelled the aroma of hot pot, but at most he looked at it two or three times, absolutely no more, and later it was because Pei Tingyuan walked into her favorite small restaurant and left the hot pot behind.

Pei Tingyuan is so careful.

She silently lowered her head and ate one of the beef balls in the bowl.

The beef balls made at home are fragrant and chewy, and compared with the flour dumplings outside, they are like a world of difference, which makes Qiao Xihe, who was originally a little full, want to eat again.

But I really ate a little too much tonight...... She poked the meat in the bowl with her chopsticks in distress.

Pei Tingyuan seemed to be able to see her thoughts, and said with a smile: "After eating, let's go for a walk in the garden to eat, shall we?"

"Okay. Qiao Xihe didn't think much about it, and agreed.

Pei Tingyuan smiled even more.

Qiao Xihe regretted it a little at this time, Pei Tingyuan was looking for an opportunity again, but he really ate too much tonight, and he needed to take a walk, otherwise he would definitely not have the heart to work for a while.

After happily eating the hot pot, Qiao Xihe was still unsatisfied.

Pei Tingyuan said: "If you want to eat one day, let Sister-in-law Wang arrange it." ”

"Hmm. Qiao Xihe nodded, if she said that the most reluctant thing to leave the Pei family was the meals made by Sister-in-law Wang, especially the hot pot soup base and hand-beaten meatballs.

Sister-in-law Wang saw that they had eaten well, and came over to clean up, "Young master, young lady, be careful of the oil splashing on you, go out for a walk, right?"

She was a little urging, and wanted the young master and young lady to get along for a while, so as not to go back to their rooms for a while, and there would be no contact at all at all.

"Uh-huh. Qiao Xihe was also about to go for a walk, glanced at Pei Tingyuan, stood up and went out first.

Pei Tingyuan followed unhurriedly, and Sister-in-law Wang looked at the two incomparably harmonious backs, her eyes full of relief and expectation.

In the garden, the light of the street lamps and the light of the moon fall on the winding path, and the flowers and shrubs are sandwiched, and you can smell the faint fragrance of flowers while walking. Qiao Xihe walked for a while, looked at Gao's house, the lights were bright inside and outside, the cordon was pulled, there were busy figures shaking, and there seemed to be some people dressed as reporters squatting outside.

The police are still collecting evidence.

The good mood brought by eating hot pot was covered by a haze at this time.

She suddenly remembered that after walking to this point, Pei Tingyuan didn't bother herself.

She looked back and happened to bump into Pei Tingyuan's bright gaze.

"Jojo is looking for me?" he asked with a smile.

"It's dark, don't daydream. Qiao Xihe hurriedly turned his head.

Pei Tingyuan quickly followed and said, "I just got some news about the kidnapping case. ”

Qiao Xihe's footsteps froze, and he asked nervously, "What is it?"
