Chapter 68: The Mindset Has Changed
"It's nothing ......" Zhao Meng smiled a little embarrassedly, lowered his head and looked at his toes, "I'm quite embarrassed to live in your house, doing what I can will make me feel better!" ”
Hearing Zhao Meng's insistence, Xia Mingkai didn't say anything, and went upstairs directly.
After a while, Mr. Zhao stopped him: "Mr. Xia, it's time to start eating." ”
Xia Mingkai nodded, went to call the children downstairs, and soon, the sophomore peeed down from upstairs, and saw Zhao Meng shuttling in the kitchen with an apron, Xia Mingkai always felt that something was wrong.
But I can't say why?
"Nian Nian, Tianming, didn't you always shout hungry? It's time to eat! Zhao Meng put the last dish on the table and greeted the two children.
"Wow...... It's so fragrant, I can already smell it upstairs! Xia Ming said, swallowing a mouthful of saliva exaggeratedly, "Teacher Zhao, your skills are too good!" ”
Xia Niannian looked at the table full of meat and vegetables with a variety of sumptuous dishes with color and flavor, and also stepped forward: "Wow, Mr. Zhao, the dishes you made are too fragrant, what kind of dishes are these......
"It's all some home-cooked food that I usually make, hehe, don't dislike it!" Zhao Meng said to go and put the dishes away, "Hurry up and wash your hands, come over and eat!" ”
The two little guys obediently washed their hands, sat down on the side, and watched Zhao Meng busy before and after, Xia Niannian shook his head silently.
Why, exactly? Why did she feel so awkward?
Xia Ming is a heartless person, as soon as he heard that there was something delicious, he immediately geared up, and waved his little hand excitedly: "I finally don't have to eat Mommy's dishes today......"
As he spoke, he breathed a long sigh of relief and felt a sense of relief.
Zhao Meng just heard this, and his heart was overjoyed, and the light in his eyes gathered a little more.
"You're heartless." Xia Mingkai heard the little guy complaining behind his back, and flicked it on his head dissatisfiedly, Xia Ming didn't dare to say more, but the expectation on his face was not fake.
"Let's have dinner!"
As soon as Zhao Meng finished speaking, Xia Ming couldn't wait to move the chopsticks.
Seeing that someone was so cooperative, Zhao Meng was also full of expectations: "How about it?" Is it delicious? ”
"It's delicious!" Xia Ming fed a piece of fried steak just right into his mouth, the full juice burst out, and his tongue was dancing with the fragrance, "Teacher, your skills are also too good, I don't know how many times stronger than my mommy!" ”
Xia Ming's unintentional words made Zhao Meng's heart bloom, but on the surface, he was still modest and shook his head.
"Tianming, don't say that! How can I compare with Mrs. Xia! ”
Xia Niannian silently took a bite of the steak, and looked at Xia Ming's fierce reaction, shaking his head silently.
How can this be nonsense?
Although Mr. Zhao's cooking skills are really good, he won't praise the sky so much, right?
No matter how good Mr. Zhao's craftsmanship is, he can't compare with Mommy!
Xia Mingkai also took a bite silently and didn't say much.
And Zhao Meng looked at the two of them with anticipation on his face, waiting for the comment: "Mr. Xia, Niannian, what about you, do you think it's delicious?" ”
Xia Niannian nodded and gave a pertinent response: "It's quite fragrant." ”
Xia Mingkai didn't react much, and snorted: "It tastes good." ”
Although these two people did not have the exaggeration of Xia Ming's performance, they were finally recognized, and the joy in Zhao Meng's heart became stronger and stronger.
"Since everyone thinks it's good, I'll cook some other dishes for you another day if I have a chance!" She took the initiative to speak, looking at Xia Mingkai with a warbler in her eyes, and a kind of expectation flashed.
Xia Niannian twitched, and just wanted to say something, but Xia Mingkai reacted faster than her, shook his head and refused.
"No need! Mr. Zhao, you are a guest in our house, how can you let the guests do these things? In the future, I will leave it to the nanny, and everyone will do their part! ”
Although Luo Yiwei was very sympathetic to Zhao Meng's plight and let her live at home, Zhao Meng's recent reaction made him feel that Zhao Meng seemed to really regard himself as a member of the Xia family.
Some overstep.
Hearing Xia Mingkai's unfamiliar refusal, Zhao Meng looked a little embarrassed, drooped the rice grains alone, and chuckled: "It's nothing, anyway, it's a small thing within my ability......"
Smelling the unusual breath in the air, Xia Niannian felt something, looked up at Xia Mingkai, and felt a trace of unhappiness on his face.
"Mr. Zhao, everyone has their own responsibilities. You just have to do your job as a tutor, and you don't have to worry about these things. ”
A trace of coldness in Xia Mingkai's eyes made the smile on Zhao Meng's face gradually fade, and he could only nod his head awkwardly.
"Uh...... All right. ”
After speaking, he buried his head in eating, but there was no joy on his face.
After the meal, the children went back to their rooms early to rest.
Xia Mingkai thought that he hadn't seen Luo Yiwei for a long time, so he went to the study and waited for her to come back.
Suddenly hearing a knock on the door, Xia Mingkai didn't even raise his head to answer: "Come in." ”
"Mr. Xia."
There was a bit of hot flashes in this voice, Xia Mingkai looked up, and he never thought that the scene in front of him was something he never expected.
Zhao Meng was wearing a suspender nightdress, the silhouette of the skirt just crossed the thighs, and she walked with her like a shadow, with a wonderful posture.
Although she has been married for many years, Zhao Meng's figure is well maintained, and she doesn't look like a little girl.
Xia Mingkai didn't have the slightest wave on his face, and quickly retracted his gaze, continued to stare at the document, and said innocently: "Is there something?" ”
His voice was indifferent, cold and kept people away.
Zhao Meng put the cup of hot milk on Xia Mingkai's table, and stood beside Xia Mingkai, the two were very close, her legs were close to his arm.
Xia Mingkai frowned almost inaudibly, and moved to the side, widening the distance between the two.
"Mr. Xia, it's better to drink some hot milk at night to help you sleep, you can taste it."
Her eyes were sparkling, looking at Xia Mingkai expectantly.
Xia Mingkai was silent and pushed the glass of milk aside.
"I don't have the habit of eating after meals, so forget it."
He has been crisscrossing shopping malls for many years, how could he not know Zhao Meng's caution?
Tonight, he cooked by himself again, and he deliberately dressed up like this, he is not a fool!
Feeling Xia Mingkai's resistance and alienation, Zhao Meng was a little embarrassed, tugging on the corner of her skirt and explaining: "Mr. Xia, don't misunderstand, I have no malicious intentions, I ......"
"I'm not mistaken, and you don't have to explain. Mr. Zhao, I'm going to be busy, so you better go out first. ”
As he spoke, Xia Mingkai didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.
Zhao Meng bit his lip stubbornly, obviously wanting to say something, but after all, he still looked at him reluctantly and retreated silently.
"Okay, then I won't bother Mr. Xia......"
She walked slowly, turning back from time to time, but Xia Mingkai didn't mean to look at her in the slightest, this feeling made Zhao Meng very frustrated.
Expecting the failure of the plan, Zhao Meng could only leave with milk.
It wasn't until the sound of the door being closed that Xia Mingkai snorted coldly: "It's really unlucky." ”
Originally, I thought that this Zhao Meng seemed to be knowledgeable and polite, and she got along well with her baby daughter, and her situation was quite pitiful......
I didn't expect to have such an idea in my heart!
is the stupid daughter-in-law who is so kind, and helps her solve the difficulties at home with all her heart, and lets her live in her own house, isn't this leading the wolf into the house!
Xia Mingkai originally wanted to have a good chat with Luo Yiwei tonight, but suddenly this happened, he couldn't help it, and called Luo Yiwei directly on the phone.
"Hey, what's wrong with my husband? Missed me? ”
The voice on the other side was soft and glutinous, and it gently made Xia Mingkai's bones crispy.
"yes, I guess you're embarrassed...... So call and ask, my dear wife, when are you going to come back? ”
took off his usual cold face, and in front of Luo Yiwei, Xia Mingkai showed a rare gentleness...... The voice sounded like coquettishness.
"Hehe, I miss you too! But I might have eight hours left to call it a day, so you'll have to wait for me! ”
Luo Yiwei's voice was gentle and lovely, which made Xia Mingkai think of the time when the two fell in love in a blink of an eye, and over the years, the relationship between the two has been like eating a preservative, just like back then.
"Okay, I just have some work to deal with, I'll wait for you!"
"Okay, we'll meet soon...... Hehe, by the way, I'm not at home today, you all have a good meal, right? ”
Xia Mingkai pouted and shook his head: "Without you, I won't be happy to eat any delicacies from the mountains and seas!" ”
As soon as she heard this, Luo Yiwei was as happy as a child, and said with a somewhat proud look: "I know that this family is really not good without me!" ”
"Isn't it?" Xia Mingkai will always be Luo Yiwei's No. 1 fan, "So don't I see you every day!" ”
Luo Yiwei was amused and laughed: "Don't talk about this!" Don't worry, after this busy time, your three-star Michelin chef will be back again, and I will make you delicious food when the time comes! ”
The two talked sweetly and hung up the phone, and Xia Mingkai's eyes were cold again.
His wife is so kind and simple, he suddenly doesn't want these things to make her angry.
Besides, he can handle this little matter well, so why bother her?
Xia Niannian couldn't sleep back and forth in the room.
Doraemon's stomach was soft and comfortable, but she couldn't sleep when she tossed and turned on it.
She felt something strange inexplicably, as if there were invisible eyes staring at her in the dark!
This Doraemon was bought for her by Mr. Zhao, and Mr. Zhao also cooked it himself and cooked the family's meals......
and Mr. Zhao's eyes when he looked at his father today......
It all made Xia Niannian feel incredible!
Something is wrong, something is really wrong!
She shook her head vigorously, although she felt that the thoughts in her heart were very, but she still couldn't stop doubting.
Although Xia Niannian is not a particularly emotional person, she must admit that sometimes her intuition is surprisingly accurate!
I can only pray in my heart, this time I am too fuss and too suspicious......
Luo Yiwei slept perfectly, and was thinking about cooking and preparing breakfast herself, but found that Zhao Meng got up early in the morning and was busy in the kitchen with the nanny.
She paused in her footsteps, looking at Zhao Meng talking and laughing with the nanny, and her eyebrows couldn't help frowning.
