Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Mistress
"You get out!"
Chen Xi pushed him out of the kitchen, and the owner changed in an instant, her face was red like an apple, and Hydward looked at her movements with a smile, and there was an indescribable feeling in her mood, which was very strange.
Both of them are the kind of personalities who don't know how to take care of themselves but are very good at taking care of others, Chen Xi washes the vegetables and puts them in hot water, then breaks up the eggs and stir-fries them in another pot, poached eggs require some skill, scrambled eggs don't need to, in her image this is poached eggs.
The mobile phone on the coffee table rang at this time, it was Chen Xi's phone, Ward picked up the phone, and the screen showed the boss, presumably someone in the family.
"Who is it?" Chen Xi put the noodles in the pot, tore open a bag of instant noodles and took out the seasoning package inside, turned around and asked.
Hydward said, then handed over the phone, "It should be at home." ”
"You look at the pot, it's almost ready" Chen Xi wiped his hands before taking the phone.
"Hey, Mom. ……”
Hydward looked at the girl on the phone, and a soft corner of his heart was touched, this rented apartment finally had a taste of home after months, and this strange feeling simply made him obsessed.
Chen Xi kept the earpiece away from her ears, and Lord BOSS always used a roaring way to educate her daughter, and she was used to it.
"Xixi, haven't you returned to the apartment so late?"
Chen Xi suddenly remembered that he had the habit of calling home at eight o'clock every night to report his safety, and it had been more than half an hour since he looked at his watch.
"Is something wrong?" The girl's mother on the other end of the phone, Zhang Jingfen, was a little worried, she was always worried when she was alone abroad.
"It's nothing, the hospital is working overtime, and there is a major operation." Chen Xi glanced in the direction of the kitchen, Hydward had already taken the noodles out and ate them by himself.
Chen Xi, who hung up the phone, happened to meet his eyes, "It tastes good." She smiled embarrassedly, her craftsmanship can only be regarded as average, okay, far from delicious.
"You eat slowly, I'll go first." After Chen Xi finished speaking, she went to get her bag, she had to go, it was really not early.
Hydward gestured to his bowl and the other serving, "Wait a minute, Chen Xi, at least finish eating with me, and let me send you back." ”
"No, no need, I can go back by myself" She was busy refusing, although the two had known each other for a while, they were still a little strange, and she tried not to trouble him.
"It's only eight thirty-three, and it's not too late," Chen Xi lifted the time on his phone.
Ward grabbed her arm, and then continued to eat the noodles with one hand, the meaning was clear, you don't want to go by yourself!
Chen Xi was amused by his childish behavior, and sat down in the living room as if he was fated, concentrating on his noodles.
…………
"It's really not early, I have to go" Chen Xi twitched his hand, but did not twitch.
Hydward slowly ate the last bite of cold noodles as the text rang, "Boss," and the text message began, "I'd like to give you a call first, Margery." ”
Ward showed the information to Chen Xi, "This kid is finally willing to get the news again, and he looks like an agent." ”
Chen Xi asked: "What does he want to do?" Would you want to move to Manchester United? ”
"Don't be stupid."
Not knowing what Margery was trying to say, Ward replied, "Okay. So Margery quickly dialed over, and the two of them chatted for a while, and he said that he practiced shooting at his grandfather's shooting training range, and he also played a few games, and his grandfather thought he could become a shooter, and so on. Then, Margery cut to the chase: "Boss, I want to apologize for my silence during this time. ”
Hydward's tense face slackened, he had always been an apologetic man, and the current culture was full of self-aggrandizement, players were surrounded by media and agents, and there was also the hype of fox friends, and he had long forgotten that there was still the word "sorry".
Margery didn't explain any more, and Ward wanted to take the opportunity to ask him, "Why?" What happened? "But on closer inspection, there is no need for any young player to say no to United's lure, especially when Alex Ferguson promises playing time and so on.
"How much can Manchester United give you?" He asked, half-jokingly.
"Boss, you can use me to pay off half of the club's debt this year, if you hold on," Margery replied.
Portsmouth spent half a season on frugality, and after successfully beating Manchester United to reach the next round of the FA Cup, the bonus and share eased the pressure to a certain extent, but there are still almost more than 20 million debts, half of which is 10 million, and Ferguson's bottom line for young players is almost that.
"I have a release clause in my youth contract and if I activate that option, United tell me I can get a big signing fee, a figure I haven't seen in my life," said Margery. ”
Hydward's teeth itched with hatred, it's so shameless, Manchester United, can you still have a good time? Can't you raise the price in the transfer period with peace of mind?
'Boss, I don't want to leave here, I need to finish relegation for Portsmouth and that's what I owe to the fans of the city.' Margery's tone on the phone was flat, as if nothing had happened.
He was extremely shaken a few days ago, as long as he said YES from his mouth, David Gill could help him with the rest, but the word stuck in his mouth for two days, and when he looked through the video of his first-team game, Zeng Jin's wavering determination was suddenly firm. He was still the same Margery who wrote his name in front of the dilapidated cabinet, or the teenager who was comforted by the fans, or the little guy who was trained by Hydward until he urinated blood, and his grandfather told him the most superficial truth: gratitude and gratitude.
"Unless you want to leave, Margery, I will never sell you!" Hydward made a promise word by word, and reason told him that he couldn't do it, but the human thing forgot everything in a bloody brain.
Thousands of troops are easy to get, one is hard to find, maybe with superhuman vision he can find countless excellent central defenders, but sometimes football is not played like this, this thing depends on love.
………………
Hydward, who hung up the phone, looked at Chen Xi with burning eyes, and stared at the girl, "I found that you are by my side, and my luck has improved." "Pierce was finalized in the afternoon, and in the evening Margery's heart was again, and he was now eager to hold her and kiss her.
"Really? Is there a gift for that? She smiled mischievously.
Hydward sighed, and when Chen Xi didn't react, he printed her lips, this time it was true, she looked stupidly at the face in front of her, which was magnified several times, and her eyelashes were long and intertwined.
