Chapter 289: Refusal

How could Qiao Airuo not know that Old Madam Su had good intentions? She was very grateful: "Thank you grandma, I will definitely come to see you another day, I am really sorry today." ”

"Silly boy, what do you have to be sorry for at grandma's place, remember, the next time you come over, grandma will ask for a gift." Old Madam Su pretended to mind and said.

Qiao Airuo couldn't help but be amused by Old Madam Su, and said, "Okay, grandma, I know, I will definitely bring you a gift next time." ”

"Don't talk anymore, don't talk anymore, your Aunt Petty urged me to take a lunch break." Old Madam Su was afraid that Qiao Airuo would be uncomfortable, so she said.

Qiao Airuo couldn't help but moisten her eyes by Old Madam Su's thoughtfulness, her voice was gentle, and she smiled: "Goodbye, grandma, you hang up the phone first." ”

He smiled and agreed, and the phone was hung up.

Qiao Airuo looked at the mobile phone with the black screen in her hand, her frowning brows were slightly loosened, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and it was fake to say that she was not moved, she had never experienced the love from the elders of the family before, but now, she not only found her grandfather and grandfather, but even Mrs. Su was so kind to her.

She cleaned up the lunch on the table a little, made another list, and cooked at noon today, only to find that her refrigerator was empty again, and she needed to buy something.

While taking inventory of herself, she put the standard on the list of mobile phones, the list was some necessary kitchen supplies, opened a cabinet, she saw that there was only one insulated box left, and suddenly remembered that there was another one that was taken away by Tang Mo that day and given to Su Shaoxi, she looked at the lonely insulated box for a while, and then closed the cabinet door.

There was no expression on her face, but a bit of a quick departure that exposed her mood swings.

At the same time, in the two adjacent spaces, Su Shaoxi and Qiao Airuo's emotions fluctuated rarely, not at all like their usual calm and self-controlled.

City A is a typical temperate climate of China, and the warm winter sun hangs in the sky for a short time, but at half past five in the afternoon, the sky outside is already very dark.

Jo Airuo closed the book in his hand, looked at the time, stood up, went upstairs to tidy up his style a little, took the coat on the hanger, and prepared to go out shopping.

She doesn't like to go out during the day if she has time, and generally likes to hang out slowly at night, which makes her feel very relaxed.

In another apartment, Su Shaoxi sat straight, looking at a thick document, his fingers quickly typed on the laptop, modifying the inappropriate parts of the document, but he saw a strange and familiar figure on the display screen.

The rapidly flying fingers stopped suddenly, and the eyes were completely fixed on the screen, and before he could react, the tall figure had already stood up.

Joe Airuo on the screen was holding a coat in his hand and grabbing his mobile phone at the same time, coming out of the room and waiting directly at the elevator door.

Su Shaoxi didn't know what was going on with him, and before he finished struggling, he had already gone out with the car keys.

Qiao Airuo was holding her mobile phone, with headphones still hanging on her ears, and was replying to Han Jixun's message, and there was one more person beside her.

The familiar aura occupied her senses, Qiao Airuo didn't have to turn her head, she also knew who was coming, her body instantly stiffened a little, standing in place, she even forgot to reply to Han Zhixun's message, and the interface stayed at the interface of communicating with Han Zhixun.

Qiao Airuo didn't wear high heels today, and now she is 20 cm shorter than Su Shaoxi, did she deliberately hide the content on the mobile phone, so the content on the mobile phone interface fell in Su Shaoxi's eyes without reservation.

The above is just a message sent by Han Zhixun: "Country M has airlifted some seafood for me, come to my house for dinner in the evening?" I'll do it for you. ”

Su Shaoxi's deep eyes shrank suddenly.

The elevator opened at this moment, and Qiao Airuo's stiff expression and body were finally rescued, and she stepped into the elevator almost a little messily.

Su Shaoxi hid the edge of his eyes and followed her into the elevator.

There were two people again, and there was no word in the small space, and the elevator slowly descended.

Embarrassed...... This is the feeling that Jo Ai Ruo has not felt in a long time, she has always had a strong sense of self-belief, but it feels like this scene is really embarrassing now.

She subconsciously took a small step forward, and staggered the posture of standing side by side with Su Shaoxi.

Su Shaoxi looked at her side face, his face was still expressionless, but the slightly clenched hand beside him exposed his obviously flustered heart.

The mobile phone in Qiao Airuo's hand vibrate, interrupting the deathly silence and embarrassment here, she quickly raised her hand and looked at the screen, it was a call from Han Zhixun, Qiao Airuo then remembered that she had not replied, and picked up the phone a little apologetically: "Alex." ”

"Evelyn, did you see the message?" Han Jixun's gentle inquiry came from over there.

Qiao Airuo said: "Well, I saw it, just as I was about to reply to you, your call came." ”

Qiao Airuo lied with a red face and a heartbeat, so she wouldn't say that she was disturbed by Su Shaoxi and forgot to reply.

"Okay, so you're coming over now?" Han Jixun asked softly.

He was standing at the entrance of the corridor leading from the garden to the residence at the moment, and not far from him, Huang Sister-in-law and Wei Yuan, who were standing in the courtyard, were cleaning up the seafood from the special packaging bag one by one.

Qiao Airuo likes to eat seafood very much, and Han Jixun remembers it very well.

But......

Jo Airo was struggling, and the elevator returned to deathly silence, and the other end of the phone also did not speak, waiting for Jo Airuo's reply.

On the other end of the phone, Su Shaoxi looked at Qiao Airuo's side face coldly, the expression on his face was not happy or angry, but the tension in his eyes was unreserved.

Finally, in the tension on both sides, Qiao Airuo's eyes looked at the declining numbers, and her red lips lifted slightly: "It's still not tonight, I still have some documents that I haven't read, and the conference tomorrow morning has not been prepared. ”

She smiled and responded to the other end of the line, joking.

This joke fell on the ears of Su Shaoxi beside her, and the tension in the latter's eyes instantly dissipated, replaced by an imperceptible smile.

Han Zhixun heard the smile in her words, although he was rejected, he was not unhappy at all, just a little disappointed, but even this loss was well hidden by him, he smiled and said: "Okay, who let me have such a conscientious partner?" Then I'll laugh it off myself. ”

"Dingβ€”" The elevator doors opened.

Qiao Airuo glanced at Su Shaoxi without moving, hiding the complicated emotions in her eyes, and took the lead in going out, smiling at the other end of the phone as she walked: "I have a chance to eat together another day, I just went out to buy some daily necessities now, and we will talk when we meet tomorrow." ”

Han Zhixun nodded, with a gentle smile: "Okay, you hang up first." ”

The phone was hung up from the other end, and Han Zhixun took the phone off his ear, and the smile on his face dissipated a little.

Wei Yuan was very clever to understand the expression on Han Zhixun's face, it seemed that Qiao always came, he pretended not to understand, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Han, this crab should be handed over to Sister-in-law Huang to make, I ate you last time, to be honest, it is still not as good as Sister-in-law Huang." ”

Sister-in-law Huang smiled lightly on the side, Han Zhixun was grown up by her, and Wei Yuan was also liked by her as a child.

Han Zhixun put away his phone and said with a smile: "If you have the opportunity to eat what I made, you still choose." ”

He turned to Sister-in-law Huang again and said, "Then I'll trouble you." ”

"What did the young master say?" The smile on Sister-in-law Huang's face was amiable: "You like to eat, it's too late for me to be happy." ”

Wei Yuan hurriedly lifted the seafood and said to Sister-in-law Huang, "I'll help you get it in." ”

"Okay." Sister-in-law Huang smiled and walked towards the gate of the house.

Han Zhixun stood at the door, watching the backs of the two leaving, emptying himself.

Wei Yuan, who has been with him for many years, can be said to be the person who knows him best, indeed, if Qiao Ai doesn't come, he will not have the idea of cooking himself.

On the other end, Qiao Airuo, who hung up the phone, had already walked to the side of the car, and not far away was the parking space of Su Shaoxi's car.

Her pupils narrowed, she quickly withdrew her gaze, lowered her head, and sat in the driver's seat.

She didn't dare to look over there again, closed the door, fastened her seat belt, and started the car, her movements were done in one go, and the car quickly left her parking space and looked outside.

Su Shaoxi's gaze looked at Qiao Airuo without reservation, although he and Qiao Airuo looked at each other just now, he didn't have the slightest intention of retracting his gaze, but seeing Qiao Airuo's violent reaction, he felt a little inexplicably that she was very cute.

Lovely? Su Shaoxi's brows furrowed, it was the first time he used this word to describe others, and it was also the first time that he felt what cuteness was.

Seeing Qiao Airuo's car slowly driving away from the underground parking lot, Su Shaoxi also got into the car, started slowly, and followed Qiao Airuo.

It was six o'clock in the evening, just in time for the rush hour, Qiao Airuo walked out of the gate of the apartment complex and walked directly along the river expressway, staggering the traffic congestion in the city at the moment.

The car window was completely down, and the pleasant cool breeze of the winter evening poured down on her without reservation, and the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, greedy for the coolness of this moment.

If Han Zhixun was by her side at this moment, she would definitely remind her to pay attention to her body and not to catch a cold, but now that Qiao Airuo is alone, she will also wear a thick coat unscrupulously to feel the cool breeze.

There were no cars on the highway, Jo Airuo occupied the slow lane on the far right, and his eyes were on the river under the elevated road that had been lit up by the lights on both sides, and the complexity and sorrow in his heart recently seemed to have been cleared up a lot.

Her eyes swept over the exterior mirror, and inadvertently, she saw a car behind her, which was the car she was familiar with, Su Shaoxi's.
