Chapter 236: You're My Little Apple
When Tao Shenglei came back, the maid ran over to help her take the briefcase and took out slippers to change for him.
"Where's Madame?" Mr. Tao frowned imperceptibly.
Usually when he comes back, Hua Yunruo will always follow him and give him a kiss to enter the door.
The maid smiled and said, "Madame is chatting with Miss and Uncle in the living room." β
Tao Shenglei turned his head, and sure enough, he saw the three happy people in the living room.
Hua Yunruo held Xia Sheng's arm and looked carefully: "Ah Sheng, I haven't seen you for a while, why are you so thin?" β
Hua Tao flipped through the magazine in her hand, secretly glanced at the person opposite, and then lowered her eyes and continued to read, ignoring him.
She was so embarrassed to the Pacific Ocean just now!
Crying wool!
Isn't it just a man who has done something wrong and comes to the door to ask for the guilt?
Is it necessary for me to cry a lot when I see him, it's not that I can't live without this man.
She was obviously living smoothly in her mother's house, happy and happy, and she almost forgot about this man.
She must have been possessed by something strange just now, and she would never admit that the woman who was inexplicably emotionally out of control was herself!
Hua Tao blinked, her eyes were still very sour, she was crying too much just now, although Xia Sheng had already given her a cold compress afterwards, her eyes were definitely still swollen at this time.
She hung her head lower.
Shame on you.
Xia Sheng noticed Hua Tao's small movements, and he was very happy, he only felt that his flower pig was as cute as ever, it was so cute, if there was no one around, he wanted to swallow her in one bite.
But he remained silent on the surface, and sighed to Hua Yunruo with a sad face: "I eat at home alone, I don't have much appetite, and I can't eat every meal." Sleeping alone in a double bed, I couldn't sleep alone, tossing and turning every night. β
Hua Yunruo: "......"
Hua Tao: "......"
Tao Shenglei: "......"
The maid ran to Hua Yunruo and asked, "Madam, the master has come back, can you prepare for dinner?" β
Hua Yunruo only noticed Tao Shenglei at this time, and immediately got up to greet him.
"You're back." She walked over and stood on tiptoe as usual and kissed him on the cheek.
Mr. Tao's originally cold expression suddenly melted, and a soft smile melted into his eyes.
"Stayed home all day today? Taking you for a walk after a meal? Mr. Tao put his arms around his beloved wife's waist and walked directly to the dining room.
"No, I want to learn how to knit a scarf, I went out in the morning and bought some wool and came back, and you can see which color you like later." Hua Yunruo is completely a little girl in front of Tao Shenglei, her smile is gentle and a little innocent, and when she looks at Tao Shenglei, her eyes are wholeheartedly dependent and trusting.
Xia Sheng stood up and smiled at Hua Tao: "Let's go over too." β
Hua Tao didn't want to give him a good look, but I don't know why when I heard his gentle voice and saw his smiling green eyes, my heart beat uncontrollably.
In front of him, she was like a young girl with cardamom in the first bloom, and she was easily captured by him.
Obviously it wasn't like this before!
Hua Tao barely pretended to have a cold expression with the only trace of reason left, ignored him, and walked straight towards the dining room.
Xia Sheng followed behind her, thoughtfully pulling a chair for her before sitting down beside her.
"Dad." Xia Sheng only nodded to Tao Shenglei with a smile and greeted him, "I'm here to eat." β
Tao Shenglei glanced at him coldly and did not speak.
One day after work, I saw that my daughter had returned, and my beloved wife said that she would stay here for a while. He wanted to call immediately and ask the good son-in-law what he had done to his precious daughter.
But his daughter stopped him, saying that this was a matter between the two of them, and he would handle it himself, and he didn't want the elders to interfere.
He remembered his past with his beloved wife, and understood that it was indeed inconvenient for outsiders to interfere in emotional matters, so he had to endure it and not ask.
But just because you ask doesn't mean you don't take it to heart.
Day by day, Tao Shenglei thought that his son-in-law would come to apologize to his daughter in a few days, but he didn't expect to show up for three months.
Finally dragged on to this day, and the daughter was disheartened, and this guy was late.
Tao Shenglei got angry when he thought of this, and naturally he didn't have a good face to show him.
Xia Sheng received a cold reception, he was not discouraged at all, and diligently served vegetables for his black-faced father-in-law.
"The mushrooms in this mushroom chicken are really slippery, Dad, try it."
Tao Shenglei snorted coldly and was about to glare at him, but Hua Yunruo kicked him at this moment.
"Hmm." Tao Shenglei reluctantly accepted his son-in-law's piece of shiitake mushroom.
Xia Sheng specially picked a piece of meat on the chicken wings and sandwiched it into a small plate of peaches: "The chicken in this mushroom slippery chicken is really smooth, little pig, you can taste it." β
Tao Shenglei: "......"
Hua Tao: "......"
After a meal, Xia Sheng didn't stand up, talking about current affairs, interesting things about life, and philosophy of life, and he could cite some vivid and interesting examples, which made Hua Yunruo put down his chopsticks and covered his mouth and laughed several times.
Although Tao Shenglei was dissatisfied with him for letting his daughter run back to her parents' house angrily, after some observation, he found that this kid was still very attentive to his daughter, and while talking and laughing, he did not forget to serve Hua Tao to eat, knowing that she loved to eat fish, and specially removed the fish bones before sandwiching the fish meat into her small plate.
Hua Tao couldn't help but secretly tilt her head to look at him.
She knew that Xia Sheng was not a sensational, he didn't like to socialize, he didn't like to be false and wrong, and he didn't like to be lively. Even if a group of friends gather, it is not the one that talks endlessly and attracts everyone's attention, and this performance at dinner today is really embarrassing for him.
After dinner, Hua Yunruo took Tao Shenglei's arm and asked him to go to the room to pick wool.
"You haven't seen you for a while, talk well, we're out of company." After Hua Yunruo finished speaking, he urged Tao Shenglei to go back to the room.
The maid was washing the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, and only Hua Tao and Xia Sheng were left in the living room.
Hua Tao continued to sit on the sofa and pretend to read the magazine.
Xia Sheng squatted down in front of her and looked up at her.
"What are you doing?" Hua Tao was startled, thinking that he was kneeling, but later found out that he was squatting.
Xia Sheng looked at her with a smile and said, "I want to hear the baby's movements." β
Hua Tao immediately put the magazine on her stomach and said, "Don't listen to it." β
After doing this, Hua Tao immediately regretted it.
It's so naΓ―ve!
Why did she have a negative IQ as soon as she saw him.
Xia Sheng was happy, looked at her with a smile and said, "Okay, I won't listen for the time being." So you can chat with me? β
Hua Tao squinted at him: "Why should I chat with you?" β
Xia Sheng shook her knees, as if a child was coquettish: "Aren't you and me the only ones here, who else can I find if you don't accompany me?" β
said it so reasonably, Hua Tao couldn't refute it for a while.
Xia Sheng rubbed her knee with his face inch by inch: "Are you still angry with me?" β
It's good that he doesn't mention the stubble, but when he mentions it, Hua Tao is really angry, she reflexively raised her legs, originally wanting to shake off the handsome face that the noble son was sticking to it, but the action was not well controlled, and she kicked him directly, kicking the person to the sky.
Xia Sheng didn't prevent Hua Tao from kicking him, because it was a squatting posture, the lower plate was unstable, and he fell to the ground all of a sudden, fortunately a thick carpet was laid, except for the ugly posture, the rest did not affect.
Hua Tao was startled, staring at him with wide eyes, regretting it in her heart.
Xia Sheng got up from the ground, patted the dust that didn't exist on his clothes, and then sat down beside her with his face crossed.
"Now that I've beaten and scolded, scolded and scolded, it's time for the anger to go away, right?" Xia Sheng gently touched her shoulder with his shoulder.
Hua Tao immediately turned her head and glared at him: "When have I ever scolded you?" β
Xia Sheng blinked and said, "Oh, you haven't scolded yet, then you can scold now." β
Hua Tao: "......"
Xia Sheng glanced at the fruit bowl on the coffee table, and reached out to pick out a big red apple from it.
"You're my little apple, I can't love you enough." He hummed as he picked up the fruit knife next to the fruit bowl and peeled the apple.
Hua Tao glanced at him, feeling that this person was having a nervous attack.
But...... The posture of peeling apples is really handsome.
Like flowing water, the peel fell off one after another under his dexterous movements, but it did not break.
She remembered the time when she had amnesia, Xia Sheng sat on the edge of her bed every day to peel apples for her, originally very clumsy, only half of an apple was left after peeling, and then after practicing for a long time, her skills became more and more exquisite, and she finally had today's results.
In a trance, Xia Sheng had already peeled the apple and handed it to her with a smile.
"Even if you're angry with me, you should tell why you're angry, right?" Xia Sheng saw her take her apple, and the smile on the corner of his lips immediately deepened.
Hua Tao was angry when she mentioned this topic.
"You ask yourself!" She took a bite of the apple hard, as if it was Xia Sheng's flesh.
Xia Sheng took out the fruits in the fruit bowl one by one, and then held them up, so that the reflective part of the bottom was facing his face.
"The magic mirror tells me, what is my little pig angry with me?"
Hua Tao laughed out loud, then reacted and covered her mouth with her hand.
Xia Sheng turned his head to look at her, then looked at the "sunglasses", and said to himself seriously: "Is it because I'm not as handsome as before?" Am I going to have a facelift? β
Hua Tao said while eating an apple, "Neurotic." β
Xia Sheng asked Guo again: "That is, I have been busy with work recently, and I have snubbed my flower piglet, which made her unhappy." β
Hua Tao couldn't eat it anymore, so she tossed the apple aside and bit her lower lip to look at him.
"Don't pretend anymore, you know what you've done."
Xia Sheng put down the fruit plate, turned his head and looked at her very seriously: "I have a lot of things that I have not done well, you were willing to tolerate me and understand me before, so you indulged me." Is it because of this that I inadvertently hurt you and made you sad? β
Hua Tao's tears came up again in an instant.
This despicable villain can always deceive her with this affectionate look.
But Xia Sheng's green eyes are very clean and clear, free of impurities, frank and sincere.
Hua Tao had a moment of suspicion.
I wonder if I recognized the wrong person in the cafΓ© that day.
Her Xia Sheng can't be someone who sees things differently.
Maybe there's really a misunderstanding?
Xia Sheng touched her head, and his fingers slowly looped back from the back of her head and landed on her cheek.
"Don't cry anymore, your eyes are swollen like this, I'm very distressed."
He leaned over, and Hua Tao subconsciously closed her eyes.
A kiss fell on the lips.
