Chapter 165: Unspeakable Depression

"Ma'am, ma'am." Dumbo laughed.

Lin Xiaowan looked at him quietly and said, "What are you doing in a panic?" ”

"No, no. I'll go back to the office first. ”

Lin Xiaowan stopped him and deliberately scared him: "You won't take anything from Shaochen's study, right?" There are a lot of valuables in this room. ”

"No, I didn't take anything." Xiao Fei sobbed and argued, his forehead oozing dense sweat stains.

"I think I saw you sneaking something into your pocket."

"No, that's not ......" Xiao Fei couldn't speak, and refused to show it to her.

"Show me and I'll believe it - if it's not for some valuables, what are you so nervous about?"

"This ......" Xiao Fei hesitated.

Lin Xiaowan really didn't have the patience to beat around the bush, and quickly reached into his pocket.

"Don't ......, Madame"

As he spoke, Lin Xiaowan had already taken out two pink tickets from his pocket.

"King of the Opera tickets?" She asked him suspiciously, "Shaochen, look?" ”

Xiao Fei scratched his head: "I don't know either." ”

"I don't know who to watch it with?" Lin Xiaowan deliberately muttered to himself.

Xiao Fei didn't answer, pointing to the ticket and sneering: "Madam, I still have to go back to the company." ”

Lin Xiaowan put the ticket in his pocket, stared at Xiaofei and asked, "Why did you lie last night?" ”

"What?"

"Shaochen is obviously in the cinema, why do you say that he is in the company?"

"You got it?" Xiao Fei was startled, and the sweat on his forehead became denser.

"I just ask you, is that girl particularly close to Shaochen?"

"I, I didn't see it too clearly." Xiao Fei obviously didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Xiaofei is real, not as experienced as Yang Yuan and Wu Ming, Lin Xiaowan knows this very well, and from his flickering words, she can already guess what Rong Shaochen and Bei Beiqi look like together, although she repeatedly reminded herself not to be jealous, magnification, and the feeling of uneasiness became more and more intense.

"Don't tell Shaochen that I know about the tickets." She returns the ticket to Dumbo.

Annoyed Xiaofei took the ticket, looked at her with complicated eyes, and finally didn't say anything, bowed his head and walked out quickly.

Lin Xiaowan sat down sullenly in front of the swivel chair.

I hope that everything Rong Shaochen said to himself is true, and I hope that everything is just my own heart.

Restless, she clicked on her mobile phone and wanted to call Rong Shaochen, but flipped to the call page with him, but stopped again.

What should she call at this time?

Ask him what he is doing? Ask him if he will come back for dinner in the evening?

Or directly ask him if he wants to go to the opera with Bei Beiqi at night? Wouldn't that make you look too careful?

If you really go to the opera with the two of them, I don't know if Bei Beiqi will be the light bulb for herself and Rong Shaochen, or if she will be the light bulb for the two of them.

No, you can't think nonsense, I promised to give Rong Shaochen 100% trust.

Let's find something to distract herself, thinking so, she dialed Sun Xinxin's phone to ask how things were going in her hometown.

The phone was quickly connected, and a noisy voice accompanied by Sun Xinxin's voice came: "Xiaowan, Yang Yuan and I came to my hometown village, it's not convenient to talk to you more now, I'll call you when I get back." ”

"Eh, you're not going to fight, are you?"

"Don't worry, we're here to judge. But if we really fight, with Yang Yuan here, we can't afford to lose. Let's say that first, they're all here. ”

"Stay safe, huh?"

The phone has been hung up.

Lin Xiaowan worriedly put the phone on the table and lay on the table again.

"Mommy, what are you doing here?"

Looking back at Leo, Lin Xiaowan quickly sat up straight and asked, "Why don't you play badminton?" ”

Leo sat down across from her in frustration, pointed to his injured arm and said, "I can't run or jump, I can't play at all." ”

"Then wait until your arm is good before playing."

"Mommy, do you have something on your mind?"

"Nope."

"Don't lie to me, you have 'I'm not happy' written on your face. Did Daddy mess with you again? ”

Lin Xiaowan was silent for a few seconds, and asked depressedly, "Am I particularly careful?" ”

"No, my mommy is beautiful, generous and reasonable, and can make good food, the most amazing mommy." Leo sat down next to her on the side of the swivel chair and nudged her, "Don't you talk in circles, tell me what's going on, and I'll help you figure it out." ”

Lin Xiaowan thought about it for a while, and decided to tell Leo the truth, and told him that Bei Beiqi came to Lancheng to find Rong Shaochen and had been pestering him.

At the end, she added distressedly: "It stands to reason that I shouldn't be too careful, but I always have a feeling that I can't speak, and I feel panicked, which is very unpleasant." ”

"That's right."

"What's right?" Lin Xiaowan was puzzled.

"It means that you care about my daddy. If you don't feel that way, then it's wrong, and that's what worries me. Leo tapped his head with the index finger of his right hand and thought bitterly, "The most important thing now is to get rid of this guy of unknown origin and bad intentions, and I can't let her occupy my daddy's land all the time." ”

"But she's here to avoid trouble, and your daddy spoils her very much."

"I'm my daddy's favorite person." Leo winked triumphantly and asked, "What time does it start?" ”

"It seems like eight o'clock in the evening."

"I made a note of it."

"What are you going to do?" Lin Xiaowan expressed curiosity.

"I'm hungry right now, I can't think of a good way to get there."

"Going to dinner, then?"

"Okay." Leo jumped out of his chair, took her hand and grinned.

"Snack goods." Lin Xiaowan smiled and led him out.

After lunch, when Fu Qiuxiang cleaned up the table, Jin Guizi took a pot of green leaves soaked in water and put it on the table, and shouted with a smile to stop Lin Xiaowan's footsteps: "Madam, my relatives sent some fresh mugwort leaves yesterday, I soaked them all night, and I am going to make mugwort leaves today, I don't know if you are interested?" ”

"Ai Ye Baba? I haven't eaten it. Lin Xiaowan picked up a leaf and sniffed it, frowned and threw it back into the basin, "Sister Jin, this is the mugwort leaf planted at the door of the house during the Dragon Boat Festival, can you eat it?" ”

"Yes! These leaves are freshly plucked. In the past, in my hometown, every year before and after the Qingming Festival, every household had to eat mugwort leaf baba, and I heard the older generation say that this was to drive away evil spirits. It's a pity that when I entered the city, I couldn't buy mugwort leaves, so I didn't eat mugwort leaves. Every year around Qingming Festival, I miss the taste of mugwort baba. It's rare that a relative sent mugwort leaves this year, and I can't wait to make mugwort leaves for you to eat, so that you can feel the breath of my hometown. ”

"I see, there is such a saying. Is it really possible to drive away evil spirits? Lin Xiaowan hurriedly grabbed Jin Guizi.

That's what the elders say. In fact, if you smell more, you will find that mugwort leaves have their own unique fragrance. ”

"So how?"

"First knead the crushed mugwort leaves and glutinous rice flour into a ball, madam, you are good at making noodles, you come here, I will adjust the filling." Jin Guizi handed the crushed mugwort leaves and glutinous rice flour to Lin Xiaowan.

Leo, who was standing in a chair, chimed in, "What stuffing?" ”

"Peanut sesame filling, fragrant." Jin Guizi responded with a smile, waited for Lin Xiaowan to soften the dough, and guided her to take a little dough and knead it into a flat circle in her hand, put in a half-toned peanut sesame filling, and knead the interface like a dumpling.

Lin Xiaowan said with a smile while wrapping up: "I haven't eaten mugwort leaf poop, I have only eaten the camellia pop brought by my aunt from the countryside, the color looks similar to this mugwort leaf poop, but the smell is not so rushing." ”

Leo picked a little bit of the dough and made a miniature mugwort leaf poop like them, saying expectantly, "It's delicious." ”

Lin Xiaowan smiled: "You think everything is delicious." ”

She was thinking about Ai Yebaba at this time, and temporarily forgot about Rong Shaochen and Bei Beiqi watching the opera.

Leo smiled and said, "That's because the food I've eaten is really delicious." By the way, such a delicious thing, should we ask the princess sister to share it? ”

"Even if you have a conscience, I won't hurt you in vain." Lin Xiaowan smiled and praised, seeing that Jin Guizi put the finished mugwort leaves into the steamer with corn leaves as the base, washed his hands and took out his mobile phone, and called Su Xuanwan.

"Ai Ye Baba? I haven't heard of it, is it delicious? Su Wanwan was very surprised.

Lin Xiaowan smiled and said: "It feels delicious, and it is said that it also has the effect of driving away evil spirits." ”

"Well, then I'll have to try it, I'll have dinner with you tonight, and I'll go straight to the Lancheng Theater after dinner."

Hearing the Lancheng Theater, Lin Xiaowan thought of tonight's opera performance, and immediately asked, "You also want to go to the opera?" ”

"Are you going too? Great, I'm worried about not having a partner. Su Xuanwan was very happy.

"No, I'm not going, I'm not interested in this thing, I just overheard people talking about it." Lin Xiaowan was a little deflated.

My husband and other women are watching movies and operas, and they are also intimate, and I only have to watch TV at home, and I feel aggrieved when I think about it.

"Okay, I'll continue to be a loner. Let's go to you. ”

Lin Xiaowan hung up the phone, and the two pink tickets appeared in his mind, and he couldn't relax even if he wanted to be relaxed.

When Su Wanwan came over, the mugwort was just out of the pot, looking at the round snacks that were full and full, tender and green, smelling the refreshing aroma, Leo had already swallowed several times of saliva, and Jin Guizi just put one on the plate in front of him, and he couldn't wait to take the fork and eat it.

"Be careful."

"Ouch." Leo was so hot that he exhaled, but he still couldn't bear the fork in his hand.

"Gluttonous cat." Su Xuanwan laughed and helped him cool off.

Leo smiled and didn't respond, waiting for Ai Ye to cool down a little, and gobbled it up again.

"It's really good, it tastes special." Su Feiwan ate three in one go, full of praise.

Lin Xiaowan also thought it was good, and the two of them tasted Ai Ye Baba and prepared to go into the living room to sit down and chat for a while.

Su Wanwan felt a little hot, took off her coat and put it on the sofa, not wanting to bring out the opera tickets, she quickly picked it up, blew the ashes, and carefully wiped it with a napkin, before explaining with a smile: "Today's opera special is hard to find, I originally wanted to take my daddy and mommy to see it, but I didn't expect to buy only one ticket." ”

"Really?" Lin Xiaowan pretended not to be interested, and pouted at Rong Shaochen in his heart.

"Oops, no." Su Xuanwan, who had just sat down, jumped up in surprise.

Lin Xiaowan hurriedly helped her and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Is there a SpongeBob SquarePants?"

"Upstairs bedroom has." Lin Xiaowan hurriedly led her upstairs.

Su Wanwan went into the bathroom, came out after a while, and said in frustration: "It's really annoying, if you don't come early or late, you can't watch the opera when you come here." ”

Lin Xiaowan was puzzled: "Is there any conflict between coming here and watching an opera?" ”

"I have menstrual cramps, tonight is destined to be a painful sleepless night, and I am not in the mood to enjoy the opera." Su Xuanwan stuffed the ticket into Lin Xiaowan's hand, "It's useless for me to keep this ticket, if you don't want to see it, just give it to whomever you want." I had to go home and go to bed. ”

Su Xuanwan said and left in a hurry.

Lin Xiaowan looked at the pink ticket and was stunned for a long time, and finally made a decision.

At seven o'clock in the evening, she said to Leo: "I'll go to the supermarket to buy something and come back, you and Aunt Fu will go upstairs first." ”

Leo nodded, walked to the staircase and turned around and shouted at her, "Mommy, come back early, I'm going to surprise you." ”

"What surprise?"

"It's not a surprise to say it. You just go and come back quickly. ”

"Oh." Lin Xiaowan's mind was not on surprise at this time, and when he saw Leo go upstairs, he turned around and went out.
