Sleeping until he woke up naturally on the weekend, Ruan Ling learned from the housekeeper that Ye Jingchi was on a business trip and would be back next week.
Combined with the information provided by the system and Ruan Ling's own feelings in the past two days, she felt that Ye Jingchi was still quite deep in the city, and he had a kind of temperament of a superior who was moody.
Ruan Ling wasn't afraid of getting along with this kind of person, she just felt troublesome.
I heard that I couldn't see Ye Jingchi for a whole weekend, Ruan Ling was already in a good mood, and she couldn't wait to open champagne on the spot to celebrate.
As for Ye Xu, that boy really didn't have a good impression of her, but Ruan Ling could also see that Ye Xu implemented the spirit of "people don't offend me, I don't offend people" very well, and she can completely treat him as if he doesn't exist.
Rounding off, doesn't it mean that she has the entire mansion to herself?
With such a good mood, Ruan Ling called Pei Tezhu first.
She couldn't wait to make sure that yesterday's windfall was not her fantasy.
This time, Ye Jingchi went on a business trip, and Pei Tezhu followed his peers. When they received Ruan Ling's call, the two were in the VIP lounge after the security check.
"Hey, ma'am?" Pei Tezhu connected the phone and glanced at Ye Jingchi, who was working on his laptop next to him.
The man's slender fingers paused slightly, and then continued to tap on the keyboard as if nothing had happened.
But Pei Tezhu was very sure that Ye Jingchi definitely heard his "wife". Pei Tezhu's back involuntarily straightened up a little more, and he listened to Ruan Ling intently.
Ruan Ling first asked Pei Tezhu if it was inconvenient now, and after getting a positive answer, he asked a few questions related to film and television investment.
Ye Jingchi was by his side, and Pei Tezhu didn't dare to slack off than usual, and answered in great detail, for fear that he would make a mistake.
Fortunately, Ruan Ling's questions were very simple, saying that they were specific and would talk about them in detail later. Pei Tezhu answered fluently, and the two of them asked and answered very smoothly.
Sensing that Ruan Ling was about to end the call, Pei Tezhu glanced at Ye Jingchi beside him and cleared his throat: "Madam, Mr. Ye is also here." What are your ...... Need help conveying that? ”
Pei Tezhu thought that as Mr. Ye's wife, Ruan Ling would definitely want to care about Mr. Ye and ask Mr. Ye to report his safety or something.
He felt that he was really empathetic, which not only gave his wife the opportunity to express his concern, but also made Mr. Ye feel a trace of warmth in his busy work.
Of course, Pei Tezhu also made this decision after observing words and emotions in the past few days and finding that Ye Jingchi was not disgusted with Ruan Ling.
However, in the earphones, Ruan Ling replied crisply: "No, thank you for helping me answer the question." I've asked everything I want, so I won't bother you with your work. ”
The next second, the phone was hung up.
Pei Tezhu: Why is Mrs. ......'s response different from what he imagined?
Almost as soon as he ended the call, he felt a gaze fall on him.
Pei Tezhu truthfully reported to Ye Jingchi, and almost repeated the question asked by Ruan Ling.
After he finished his report, Ye Jingchi bowed slightly, but his eyes did not take his eyes away.
Obviously, Ye Jingchi was waiting for something. For example, "care" from the wife.
In just a few seconds, Pei Tezhu's brain flashed countless words that fit the situation, such as "pay attention to safety", "have a safe journey" or "go home early".
But in the end, out of professionalism, he chose to tell the truth.
Pei Tezhu: "Mrs. She...... Maybe there was something else to do, so I hung up after asking. ”
This was said a little tactfully, but Ye Jingchi immediately understood the meaning of the other party's words: "She didn't mention me?" ”
Pei Tezhu replied stubbornly: "Yes, Mr. Ye." After speaking, he subconsciously observed Ye Jingchi's expression.
Ye Jingchi just let out a low "um" and didn't show any special emotions. He quickly withdrew his gaze and looked back at the files on his computer.
But I don't know if it's a psychological effect, Pei Tezhu feels that the atmosphere around him seems to be a little colder.
……
In the villa, Ruan Ling was discussing the menu with her aunt at home.
Just now the housekeeper came to ask, and Ruan Ling knew that after the original owner came to live, the meals at home were still according to Ye Jingchi and Ye Xu's tastes.
This can't be blamed on others, it was requested by the original owner himself, according to the system, in order to better integrate into the Ye family.
Ruan Ling took a look at the menu provided by the housekeeper, and then immediately decided to ask the kitchen aunt to add a few new dishes.
She can also think about anything else, it is absolutely impossible for her to grieve her stomach for these two men surnamed Ye.
The cooking aunt's surname is Zhang, for convenience, Ruan Ling asked the housekeeper to call Aunt Zhang to the room for face-to-face communication.
The new hostess of the house suddenly named herself to see her, Aunt Zhang was a little nervous, and put her hands in front of her stiffly.
"Aunt Zhang." Ruan Ling smiled softly, "That's the case, I want to add a few dishes to our family's daily menu, so I'm looking for you to come over." ”
Hearing this, Aunt Zhang's expression relaxed a little. Looking at the wife's expression and tone, it doesn't look like she is deliberately trying to embarrass herself.
"Yes, ma'am." Aunt Zhang said respectfully, "I can basically cook our common home-cooked food, you can talk about it." ”
Ruan Ling nodded. The Ye family is so rich, and the requirements for selecting employees will definitely not be low, and she believes that Aunt Zhang has the confidence to say this.
She unceremoniously began to report the name of the dish: "Dry pot chicken, small fried meat, hairy blood, sour and hot shredded potatoes......"
After talking about ten dishes in one breath, Ruan Ling finally stopped: "How is it?" Can all of these be done? ”
“…… Yes, ma'am. Aunt Zhang agreed, but her tone was a little hesitant.
The system couldn't stand it, and reminded Ruan Ling: [Ye Jingchi and Ye Xu's tastes are very light, so they usually don't add chili peppers to stir-fry at home. Aunt Zhang probably wants to remind you, but it's hard to speak. 】
So Ruan Ling said again: "Aunt Zhang, these dishes are specially made for me to eat." You can add chili peppers, I can eat spicy. ”
Aunt Zhang got the words and no longer hesitated: "Okay wife, I understand." ”
Ruan Ling thought for a while: "Then start with today's lunch, in addition to the original dish, add a dry pot chicken." ”
……
More than an hour later, the maid at home told Ruan Ling that lunch was ready.
Ruan Ling walked into the restaurant and found that Ye Xu was already sitting at the table, but he hadn't moved his chopsticks yet.
Seeing Ruan Ling appear, Ye Xu nodded slightly at her.
Ruan Ling raised her eyebrows, Ye Xu was actually waiting for him to eat together? This is not in line with the consistent attitude of my stepson.
However, Ruan Ling didn't think much about it, it is normal for adolescent children to have one idea a day. She raised the corners of her mouth in response, and then sat down with Ye Xu in a seat.
On the table were four dishes and one soup, one of which was piled with red peppers, which didn't fit in with the others.
Aunt Zhang stood aside, a little nervously waiting for Ruan Ling to make an evaluation of the "new dish".
As soon as Ruan Ling entered the restaurant, he smelled the aroma of dry pot chicken, and as soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to pick up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth.
The meat is tender, dry and refreshing, and the spiciness. The chef of a rich family will not disappoint.
Ruan Ling praised herself without hesitation, and gave Aunt Zhang a thumbs up: "It's even more delicious than I imagined!" Very good! ”
After receiving Ruan Ling's affirmation, Aunt Zhang's tense nerves finally relaxed.
Ye Jingchi and Ye Xu are not emotionally exposed people, and the housekeeper is even more demanding. Aunt Zhang has worked in the Ye family for several years, and she has never been so bluntly and strongly affirmed.
Ruan Ling's smile was crooked, and she praised it sincerely, which made Aunt Zhang a little flattered, and her sense of accomplishment came up instantly.
"If my wife likes to eat, it's fine!" Aunt Zhang's tone was unconsciously a little excited, "If there is anything that needs to be improved, just tell me, I will definitely adjust it to your satisfaction!" ”
Ruan Ling was also polite: "Okay, I will." You go back first, and I'll let the butler tell you if necessary." ”
"Yes, ma'am!" Aunt Zhang nodded vigorously. She couldn't wait to go back and study the other dishes that Ruan Ling had requested.
After Aunt Zhang left briskly, only Ruan Ling and Ye Xu were left in the restaurant.
In the past, every time Ruan Ling ate something delicious, she would recommend it to her friends. It's a pleasure to have your peers approve of what you love to eat.
Therefore, after she took another bite of chicken, she subconsciously wanted to recommend Ye Xu to try it too.
But just as she was about to speak, she thought that Ye Jingchi and Ye Xu didn't like spicy food.
After hesitating for a moment, Ruan Ling decided to enjoy this dry pot chicken by herself, and by the way, she was silent for a second in her heart for the Ye family's father and son who missed countless delicacies.
Ruan Ling's "want to speak and stop" fell completely in Ye Xu's eyes.
Yesterday's guilt has a tendency to make a comeback.
Ye Xu pursed his lips.
Thinking about it carefully, Ruan Ling really didn't do anything excessive to him, and even released kindness to him many times recently. Take the initiative to chat with him and ask him if he eats fruit.
And he not only repeatedly rejected the olive branch she toss, but also allowed her to be speculated by others.
Just now, she must have wanted to ask herself if she wanted to eat it. It must have been her previous indifferent attitude that made her retract what she wanted to say.
……
Ruan Ling took a bite of the green vegetables, and then was surprised to find that Ye Xu actually sandwiched a chicken with chopsticks stained with chili peppers.
Doesn't he eat spicy food?
Ruan Ling looked at Ye Xu with some curiosity, only to see him put the chicken in his mouth, and two seconds later, he coughed violently.
In fact, this dish is not so spicy, but coincidentally, Ye Xu was choked by a small piece of chili pepper.
The servant who was guarding the living room heard such a big commotion and thought that something was wrong, and hurried to the dining room.
Ye Xu waved his hand to signal that he was fine, picked up a glass of water and poured a few sips.
Looking at the young man whose whole face was choked, Ruan Ling didn't know what to say.
This kid, if you can't eat spicy, you can't eat it, what is this doing? Could it be that she is not convinced by the fact that she eats spicy food and does not change her face?
The competitiveness of adolescent boys is really not something she can understand!
