Chapter 113: Twenty Years of Waiting
"That...... Because it's too expensive, I'm afraid that someone will rob me when I wear it, causing unnecessary trouble. ”
Gu Qiqi casually told a lie and said.
It seems that Xi Jinyan doesn't know that she hasn't worn a wedding ring, since she doesn't know that she is hiding it from him, she doesn't want to make him angry for no reason.
After Xi Jinyan heard this, he pulled Gu Qiqi who was lying on his chest up and let her look into her eyes.
"Starting tomorrow, no, I'll put on my wedding ring when I go back today. Here I don't think anyone will dare to snatch your wedding ring, and even if there is, I have a way to help you get it back. ”
Gu Qiqi lowered his head, but caught a glimpse of the ring on his ring finger that she had given him that day.
With a sudden movement in her heart, she nodded. "I know, I'll wear it as soon as I get home."
Only then did Xi Jinyan relax her heart, and the hand holding her wrist also let go. Gu Qiqi hurriedly withdrew his hand.
"That...... Then you go to work, remember to finish this bottle of yogurt, I'll go back first. Gu Qiqi picked up his bag as he spoke, got up and prepared to leave.
Xi Jinyan didn't leave her behind, got up with her, and walked towards the desk.
The moment Gu Qiqi opened the door and was about to walk out, as if he remembered something, he turned his head to Xi Jinyan and said, "That...... What would you like to eat tomorrow? ”
Xi Jinyan didn't react for a while, looked at her suspiciously, and when she understood what she meant, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, "You can just pick what you like to eat." ”
Gu Qiqi nodded, "Then I'll go home, you come back early." ”
"Okay." He smiled and nodded at her, then saw her open the door and walk out.
His heart was as sweet as honey, and his tired body suddenly refreshed, looking at the mountains of papers on his desk, he took a deep breath, sat down and began to fall into a state of work.
Outside was the rare warm sun of autumn, Gu Qiqi sat in the office at noon, and was also a little tired, and after stretching a lot, he took a taxi home.
She didn't notice the man who was looking at her affectionately in a limousine not far away.
The man followed the taxi she was in and did not stop until he was almost at her house.
"Qiqi, you are mine, no one can snatch it away, Chen Shu can't do it, Xi Jinyan can't do it!" The man's deep gaze was fixed on the woman with a bright smile as she stepped down from the taxi, and her smile seemed to enchant him.
One mystery is twenty years.
After Gu Qiqi went in for a long time, the man's car stayed where it was, and finally reluctantly turned around and left.
He didn't have to wait long, he waited for her too long, twenty years of forbearance, just to be with her this time.
The dim light in his eyes became more and more hazy, mixed with a little impatience. Take out your mobile phone and make a call, "How is the matter, he hasn't left yet, give you another day to find a way to let him go!" ”
After finishing speaking, without waiting for the other party to answer, he resolutely hung up the phone.
For some reason, the desire in his heart has become stronger and stronger recently, and he has waited for twenty years, although it is a long time, but he is willing. And now that his wish is about to be fulfilled, he can't wait, and he doesn't want to wait any longer!
When Xi Jinyan took a break from work, it was already half past five, and he originally planned to go home before five o'clock, but he didn't expect to arrive at this time accidentally, thinking that the servants were not at home today, Gu Qiqi was inevitably bored alone, so he hurriedly packed his things and rushed home.
The moment he pushed the door in, smelling the aroma of vegetables coming from the kitchen, Xi Jin couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth.
This woman is becoming more and more like a wife.
Putting the document bag on the sofa, Xi Jinyan walked towards the kitchen.
Gu Qiqi was wearing a set of home clothes, his hair was tied up high, and he looked very pure. She looked like she was boiling soup and was testing the taste with a spoon.
Unexpectedly, the soup that had just come out of the pot was too hot, and she only took a sip before being scalded, "Ah! He reflexively screamed, hurriedly put the soup spoon aside, and was about to turn around to drink ice water, but was frightened by Xi Jinyan, who came in a hurry.
"Are you alright? Why so careless? ”
Xi Jinyan ran over, pressed her shoulder, and looked down at her lips carefully to see if there were any burns, but it was okay, there was no problem.
"Stick your tongue out and see if it burns on your tongue." Still not at ease, Xi Jinyan said with concern.
Gu Qiqi blinked, "You're back?" Why is there no sound? ”
"It's you're so obsessed with cooking, stick your tongue out and show me."
"Oh, it's okay, I only drank a little bit and it's fine. I'll just go get some water. Gu Qiqi broke free of his hand and said disapprerovingly.
"No, show me." Xi Jinyan insisted, and his tone was a little serious this time......
Gu Qiqi couldn't see him so serious the most, he already felt a little cold, if he didn't speak softly to himself, she would think that he hated her.
Seeing that he was cold, serious and serious, Gu Qiqi was defeated, "Okay, I'll show you." ”
As she spoke, she stuck her tongue out, and Xi Jinyan took a closer look and found that there was indeed no problem.
It's just that Gu Qiqi felt that they looked a little strange. So he put away his tongue, his face was a little red, he lowered his head and said embarrassedly: "Okay, you also read it, I said it's okay, I'll go drink saliva." ”
After Gu Qiqi finished speaking, he walked to the side and poured a glass of water, took a sip, and then ran to the pressure cooker and began to try the soup again.
With the experience she had just had, she was more cautious this time, blowing the soup several times before taking a sip gently.
After smashing her lips, she nodded, "Well, that's pretty much it." ”
"What are you doing?" Smelling a strong aroma, Xi Jinyan swallowed his saliva and stared at the pressure cooker.
Aunt Li didn't smell the fragrance of vegetables when he cooked, but he wasn't as greedy as he was today, and he felt hungry just by smelling the smell.
"Corn rib soup. I know you like to eat pork ribs, but you get tired of eating them every day, so you can mix them with other things. I like to eat corn, sweet and sweet is the best. ”
Gu Qiqi drooled just thinking about the taste of corn, and after taking down the pressure cooker with great satisfaction, she set up the pan again.
Xi Jinyan looked at her from the side, motionless.
"Hey, what are you doing here? Go to the fridge and get me a few tomatoes and a few eggs. By the way, the tomatoes should be washed. ”
Gu Qiqi instructed him, and at the same time took the shredded chicken next to him and the chili pepper that had been cut, and began to fry.
Since returning from his company, she has been researching what to cook for him in the evening. She is not a good cook, and occasionally she only cooks simple things.
But in order to make him eat better, she read a recipe on the Internet for an afternoon. In the past, she was used to taking a nap, and she would be sleepy at the end of the day, but today she has always been in good spirits.
"Oh, good." Xi Jinyan, who didn't understand the kitchen at all, listened to her instructions, so she had to obediently go and get him tomatoes and eggs.
For a while, the two of them were busy in the kitchen, but they looked very harmonious, and they looked like some well-off couples.
After Xi Jinyan washed the tomatoes, she put them in the basket on the side with the eggs, Gu Qiqi quickly cooked the fried chicken shreds with green peppers, she had completely memorized the cooking of all the dishes, and she noticed all the things that should be paid attention to.
She's not a clumsy person, she's very smart, and she's just as good at cooking.
I took the tomatoes and cut them carefully, because I didn't cook often, so the chopping was not very good, not smooth, and it took a long time for her to cut the tomatoes.
Xi Jinyan was still standing by and watching her do these things in an orderly manner, looking both skilled and rusty, and her little face was a little charming when she became serious.
He couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth and leaned to the side to look at her side.
After Gu Qiqi cooked the tomato and egg soup, he exhaled a long breath, bent his eyebrows and said happily to Xi Jinyan on the side: "It's done!" Bring these dishes to the table and let's eat. ”
Xi Jinyan smiled and nodded, he was already hungry when he smelled the aroma of her vegetables, and after serving the tomato and egg soup, he walked towards the table.
"Be careful, slow down." Gu Qiqi held a bowl of fried chicken shreds with green peppers and instructed in the back.
Xi Jinyan didn't speak, but her walking pace slowed down involuntarily, carefully placed the soup on the table, and then turned around to pick up the dish in Gu Qiqi's hand.
Gu Qiqi handed him the dishes, turned around and went to the kitchen to take out the corn stewed pork ribs in the pressure cooker, and carefully served them to the table.
When everything was ready, the two began to eat.
"Do you like to eat corn? Why haven't I heard you say that before? Xi Jinyan took a piece of corn and said while examining it.
"That's because you didn't ask me." Gu Qiqi pursed his lips and bit the corn in the bowl with satisfaction.
Hearing Gu Qiqi say this, Xi Jinyan realized that he had always seemed to only know that she didn't like to eat carrots, and didn't know what she liked to eat.
Xi Jinyan didn't speak and continued to eat his own food. Gu Qiqi glanced at him, thinking of his tired appearance today, he felt a little unbearable, and sandwiched a rib for him, "Eat more." ”
Xi Jinyan looked up at her, with some palpitations in her heart. Gu Qiqi didn't notice anything abnormal, blinked his eyes and asked, "What do you think of the taste?" Is it tasty? It's the first time I've cooked something like this. ”
Xi Jinyan bit the ribs and nodded, "Although it's not as delicious as Aunt Li's cooking, it's already very good to make it like this for the first time." ”
Is he boasting about himself or hurting himself? Gu Qiqi looked at him with some doubts, and seeing that he was still immersed in eating, he couldn't help but think that this man was not a person who would praise others in the first place, and it should be rare to hear his kind of praise with a bit of derogatory words.
She thought he was complimenting her.
Such thoughts of self-affirmation and comfort made Gu Qiqi feel a lot better, and he smiled and nibbled on another piece of corn.
The meal was enjoyable, and everything was originally very good, but Xi Jinyan's phone rang at an inappropriate time.
