Chapter 8: The Curse of the Heartless
"Chao Jianxi, you prodigal, don't expect me to obey you and become one of your flowers, if I die, I won't become that kind of woman, and ...... It's best not to let me see you again for the rest of my life. www.biquge.info"Li Ruofei remembered the room card he left, and immediately became angry, what did he think of her?
When Chao Jianxi heard the last sentence, her face was so cold that she could freeze, and she hadn't seen him for a lifetime, why didn't she want to see him so much?
"Li Ruofei, are you trying to cross the river and tear down the bridge? After reaching a cooperation with Chaoshi, you want to pretend to be a stranger? And also...... Is your lifetime not seeing me cursed me to die in the mission? β
After Shiomixi finished speaking, he looked at the time of the watch on his wrist, there was no sound on the other end of the phone for a long time, he was thinking about whether to hang up, and a soft voice came from the other end: "No, it's not to curse you to die, I'm just ...... I was very angry to ....... β
Seeing that the time was up, Shiomi Xi replied: "I can't die" and hung up the phone directly, then turned off the phone and locked the phone in the lockbox of the task. This time their mission was in one of the countries of the southern hemisphere for a month.
Li Ruofei listened to Chao Jianxi's sentence that he couldn't die, and he felt deep self-blame in his heart, what was she doing? Shiomi Xi is a soldier, he protects his family and defends the country, how can she let him not appear for the rest of his life on the day of his mission.
Since that day, Shiomi's phone call has really never been able to get through, and her heart has always been a little uneasy.
Since that day, she has deliberately distanced herself from Li Niansheng, but the fear in her heart has become bigger and bigger day by day, she is afraid, afraid that that day will come, December 12th, the day Li Niansheng and Chao Xue got engaged.
Although the Li family has a big business, Li Ruofei did not work in Li Niansheng's company, but engaged in writing in a magazine in S City, she did a summer job in the magazine with her classmates in her junior year, and the editor-in-chief recognized her ability, and directly invited her to work after graduation, and she also liked this job very much.
"Sister Feifei, this issue of "Nature's Mission", sales have reached a new high, and the boss can't stop smiling. The assistant was chatting with her as she cleaned up the copywriting paper on her desk.
Li Ruofei is in the mood to care about sales, looking at the newspaper in his hand, the picture of Li Niansheng and Chao Xue hugging and kissing is too beautiful, too dazzling, and her eyes hurt vigorously.
"Xiaolin, you go out, let me stay alone." She explained to Xiao Lin with a somewhat blank expression, and began to stare intently at the newspaper in her hand again.
Xiao Lin knew that she had been in a bad mood recently, but outsiders were not easy to ask about her private affairs, so she left the office with a worried face.
Li Ruofei has been extremely miserable this month, Li Niansheng has come back late every day since he announced his engagement to Chao Xue, and many media headlines are their news.
The two in the newspaper looked at each other and smiled, hugging each other, "What a pair of talented women." She has to say that Chao Xue and Li Niansheng are really a good match.
If the daily newspaper and online headlines bring her invisible pain, then going home becomes a painful ordeal.
Mom pulled Chaoxue to chat in the living room, since my father passed away, my mother hasn't been as happy as today for a long time, Li Niansheng, who I haven't seen for a few days, has also come back, today he is wearing a casual suit, wearing a flower apron, and is cooking in the kitchen.
This is the first time she has seen Li Niansheng live like this since she came to Li's house, and it is also so fascinating.
"Miss, you're back!" Tang's mother's voice interrupted the happy two.
"If you don't come back, your sister-in-law is here, come and say hello." Liu Huamin immediately got up, came to the entrance and picked up her bag, and took out her exclusive shoes in the shoe cabinet for her.
Li Ruofei raised the corners of her mouth, smiling very sweetly and beautifully, she stepped forward and waved to Chaoxue who was standing next to the sofa, "Chaoxue, long time no see."
"Seeing that you are not sensible, you still don't change your words, now it's your sister-in-law." Liu Huamin heard Ruo Ruo call Chaoxue directly, with a gentle smile on his face, but he pretended to be dissatisfied to correct her.
Li Ruofei's smile was well disguised, although her face was already stiff and painful, looking at the generous, beautiful and moving tide and snow in front of her, the sister-in-law went back and forth in her throat several times before she called out a little stiffly, "Sister-in-law." β
"If it weren't for the same age as me, it would be awkward to call my sister-in-law, and I will feel more cordial when I call my name in the future," Chao Xue said with some embarrassment.
"Then what's the matter, she should have called you sister-in-law, if outsiders know, those who don't know will think that our Li family style is not strict."
Li Niansheng brought a plate of dishes from the kitchen to the dining table in the living room, casually dropped this sentence and entered the kitchen.
Li Ruofei's stiff smile froze instantly, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and he laughed stupidly, "Listen to my brother, my brother is the greatest." β
When everyone heard her say this, they couldn't help laughing, and when Li Niansheng made the last dish, the three of them were already sitting at the table.
When Chao Xue saw Li Niansheng come out, she got up and went behind him, untied her apron for him, the two looked at each other and smiled, she said softly: "It's hard." β
The dishes on the table are all Li Ruofei's favorite food, but she has no appetite at all, and she is even a little disgusted when she sees these dishes.
Li Niansheng sat on the same side with Chaoxue, she used to sit with him on the same side, he would put all kinds of dishes she liked to eat in her bowl, and would ask her how salty the dishes were? What does the soup taste like? And now, he will pamper another woman next to him, and she is no longer qualified.
During the whole eating process, Li Ruofei seemed a little quiet, she just wanted to end this dinner that made her breathe uncomfortable quickly.
"If not, this is my favorite fresh bamboo shoot soup, when I was a child, I often went to the back mountain of Changping Villa with Shiomixi to dig this, which felt particularly interesting."
Chao Xue said while serving soup for Li Ruofei, which is also one of Li Ruofei's favorite dishes.
Chaoxue's sudden concern made her a little overwhelmed, but Li Niansheng's fiancΓ©e's soup, she didn't want to drink it, and after thinking for a while, she reached out with a smile and was ready to take the ceramic bowl handed by Chaoxue, but at the moment when she was about to take it, the soup spilled.
"Ah......" Li Ruofei immediately withdrew her hand after screaming in pain, the soup was freshly cooked, extremely hot, and her overly white hand immediately showed a striking red.
Li Niansheng, who was sitting opposite her, saw that she was burned, got up and knocked down the dining chair in a hurry, with a rare panic and distress on his face, "Does it hurt?" β
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I'm sorry, if not."
Before Li Ruofei could answer Li Niansheng's words, she was frightened by the appearance of the tide and snow pear flowers with rain, her big eyes were bright, and the misty splash was hazy, and the tears that wanted to come out were really pitiful.
