Chapter 22: Secret Love
As Cheng Qixin's birthday party approached, the Cheng family became more and more busy, and it was not until the night before the banquet that all the preparations were ready.
Ordinary people will only set a few tables of wine to invite relatives and friends on their birthdays, but the young master is just a twenty-sixth birthday so grand, in the end, the rich family is different! Looking at the renovated hall, Ye Xiaojing couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
"Ye Xiaojing! Are you going to die here? β
The sudden voice behind her startled her.
"Ahh Master? β
Ye Xiaojing looked at the man who didn't know when she came behind her, and by the way, she didn't forget to pat her chest to shock herself, if she had been staying in the Cheng family, she would be scared to death by him sooner or later.
Seeing that the other party still looked like "what are you looking for me", Cheng Qixin's dissatisfaction began to escalate again, and his volume also increased: "Are you squatting in the hall to grow mushrooms?" Think about the last time you poured water, and you didn't know to bring a cup of tea to my room after so long? Are you going to die of my thirst? β
What, she only brought him a cup of coffee two hours ago, and now it's such an exaggeration, Ye Xiaojing secretly scolded herself, and couldn't help but defend: "But, just now you obviously said that you didn't want anyone to go in and disturb!" β
"What are you rubbing around here? I said I was going to drink tea now, so why don't I pour it soon! Cheng Qixin sat down on the sofa, and when she saw that Ye Xiaojing was still stunned, she scolded again.
"Young Master, Miss Lu is here!"
With Sister-in-law Zhang's announcement, a delicate white figure has appeared in everyone's sight.
It's beautiful!
This is the first feeling that Lu Yunyi brought to Ye Xiaojing.
The perfect facial features that are delicate as handicrafts are inlaid on the palm-sized melon seed face, and the waterfall-like jet-black hair hangs down on the sides of the shoulders very naturally, which further sets off the fairness of the skin.
"Qixin, your complexion looks good!" Lu Yunyi had already walked over, and her slender waist showed a moving curve under the wrapping of a well-fitting dress.
Cheng Qixin looked at her, and a gentle smile appeared on her iceberg-like face for the first time: "Yunyi, you're here!" β
Lu Yunyi smiled and said, "Young Master Cheng is on his birthday, of course I have to come to congratulate." I heard that your leg hurt a while ago, how is it, is it better? β
"It's okay now! By the way, when did you come back? Looking at the beautiful woman smiling lightly on the other side, Cheng Qixin's face became more and more smiling.
Lu Yunyi stuck out her tongue: "My mommy called me the night before yesterday and said that you were going to celebrate your birthday, I asked a lot of people, and it was not easy to book a ticket to come back early this morning, how do you say you want to thank me?" β
A flush appeared on Cheng Qixin's pale face, and he said sincerely: "Yunyi, thank you!" I, I won't forget! β
"Haha, look at you, I'm kidding! We're old classmates, so it's right to celebrate your birthday. β
At this time, Ye Xiaojing came to the two of them with two cups of black tea: "Miss Lu, young master, please use tea!" β
Cheng Qixin frowned and said, "Yunyi doesn't like to drink tea, go make a cup of coffee!" β
Lu Yunyi stopped with a smile: "No need, I recently learned from Daddy to start drinking tea, and I found that the taste is quite good!" β
Cheng Qixin gave up.
Lu Yunyi glanced at Ye Xiaojing again, and asked curiously, "Qixin, who is this?" Why have I never seen it in your house before? β
"It's my new maid, although she is stupid and grinds to do things, but the dim sum is okay!"
Hearing such a comment on the side, Ye Xiaojing really wanted to cry without tears, she hung her head and returned to the kitchen, only to find that Sister-in-law Li and they were talking about Cheng Qixin and Lu Yunyi.
Xiaohui's face was full of envy: "I still remember the last time I saw Miss Lu, she really looks more and more beautiful!" β
"That's to say", Sister-in-law Zhou said, "She is beautiful, has a good personality, and is still the daughter of a big company, I really don't know what kind of man is worthy of her?" β
Xiaohui said: "Do you say that the young master is okay?" It's the first time I've seen the young master smile so gently, ah-it turns out that the young master can be so handsome, how nice it would be if the young master smiled like this every day! β
Hearing this, Ye Xiaojing also nodded in agreement, she was really fed up with Cheng Qixin's iceberg face and temper tantrums, but he was really unexpectedly gentle in the face of Lu Yunyi today, could it be-
Sister-in-law Li said: "The Cheng and Lu families are the right family, and the young master and Miss Lu are about the same age, if they can really be together, it is really a good thing, and the old lady will be happy." β
"Yes, yes, I'm afraid that the young master will also like some poor girl in the future, then the old lady can-" Sister-in-law Zhou said this, and suddenly subconsciously closed her mouth.
Sister-in-law Li hurriedly said: "Don't say anything, hurry up and see if there is anything that hasn't been done, and there must be no mistakes tomorrow!" β
Although she was a little curious about what Sister-in-law Zhou had not finished speaking, seeing that everyone was secretive, Ye Xiaojing didn't want to inquire much. Looking at the clock on the wall, she poured a glass of water and put it on the tray - it was time for the young master to take the medicine.
However, every time the young master is asked to take medicine, it is almost a difficult thing.
Pushing open the door of the study, I saw Cheng Qixin sitting there pondering, Ye Xiaojing said softly: "Young master, it's time for you to take medicine!" β
Looking at the dozen or so pills of different colors on the plate, Cheng Qixin couldn't help but feel disgusted in his heart, after so many years, he had really eaten enough of these medicines!
Pushing the plate away, Cheng Qixin said, "Put it there, I'll eat it later." β
Ye Xiaojing said in her heart: "Here we go again!" β
She forced a smile on her face and tried to persuade her gently, "How can this work?" The old lady and the doctor have explained that the medicine must be taken on time, young master, you are still-"
Cheng Qixin said angrily: "I'm not sick now, why do I still eat these things?" I don't want to eat! β
"But-" Ye Xiaojing looked at Cheng Qixin, who refused to take the medicine, in embarrassment, thinking about what kind of rhetoric she would have to use this time to convince the young master.
Suddenly, a sudden violent cough interrupted Ye Xiaojing, she hurriedly stepped forward and gently patted Cheng Qixin's back, and after a long while, the coughing voice finally lowered.
"Are you better?"
When the flushing on Cheng Qixin's face gradually faded and returned to his original pale face, Ye Xiaojing gently handed over the water cup and said, "Drink some water, your throat will be more comfortable." β
After a short silence, Cheng Qixin said in a low voice: "Take the medicine!" β
Gently closing the door, Ye Xiaojing was about to leave, but when she looked up, she saw a person standing outside the door.
Outside the door of the study, there was an old lady Cheng, Ye Xiaojing saw it, and hurriedly shouted: "Old lady! β
Old Madam Cheng waved her hand to stop Ye Xiaojing and said, "Don't alarm Qixin, he's okay, right?" β
Seeing that Old Madam Cheng looked worried, Ye Xiaojing hurriedly relieved: "It's just a few coughs, the young master has taken medicine now, I think it should be fine." β
Mrs. Cheng sighed and said, "That's good! Qixin's child's body has been like this since he was a child, which is really worrying! β
Ye Xiaojing comforted her and said, "Old lady, don't worry too much, now that medicine is so developed, young master, he will definitely get better!" β
Old Madam Cheng smiled bitterly and nodded, "I hope!" It's just that if Qi Xin's body continues like this, all these things that our Cheng clan has built up with great difficulty will probably fall into the hands of others in the near future! Alas! β
"Old ladyβ"
Looking at Ye Xiaojing, Mrs. Cheng smiled again: "But no matter what, thank you so much for this while, Miss Ye!" β
