Finally, Ye Xu's cough slowly subsided.
Probably feeling embarrassed, Ye Xu's expression looked very uncomfortable.
Ruan Ling chewed slowly and understandingly: "The dishes at home were too light for me before, and I asked Aunt Zhang to make them especially for me." If you can't eat spicy, don't force it. β
Ye Xu's cheeks were still flushed because of the violent coughing, and he didn't look at Ruan Ling when he heard the words, and let out a soft "um".
After a second, he added: "I didn't force it, I just happened to be careless, and I choked." β
Ruan Ling held back a smile: "Oh, it's good not to be reluctant." There were two obvious words written on his expression and tone: disbelief.
Ye Xu: "......"
Just acquiesced, a little unpleasant, and deliberately explained it again, it seems too deliberate.
Ruan Ling saw through Ye Xu's entanglement at a glance, so she wanted to laugh even more.
What an interesting age, if it is replaced by Ye Jingchi, let alone taking care of her, it is estimated that she will not even taste the first bite.
Ruan Ling's thoughts drifted away for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, he looked at Ye Xu's expression again, and suddenly felt a little pity.
Ye Xu is now more mature and introverted than his peers, but he also has such a cute side. In a few years, will he completely become like his father, and the deep part of the city will not be shocked?
Thinking of this, Ruan Ling couldn't help but tease Ye Xu: "Then if you don't force it, take another bite?" Aunt Zhang's cooking is delicious, you just swallowed it in a hurry, and you didn't even taste it. β
Ye Xu glanced at Ruan Ling with some surprise.
The maid next to her was about to withdraw when she saw that Ye Xu was fine, but she hesitated again when she heard Ruan Ling's words.
Ye Xu keenly noticed the maid's pause, and said a little uncomfortably: "I'm fine, you can go out." β
ββ¦β¦ Okay, young master. The maid replied.
The maid is an aunt in her forties, and the child is about the same age as Ye Xu. Ye Xu is likable and polite, and the maid's concern for Ye Xu is not only professional, but also a little sincere.
After going out for a few steps, the maid looked back twice, and the worry in her eyes was obvious.
Ruan Ling suddenly felt very interesting. Because she found that her behavior was a proper and vicious stepmother in the eyes of the servant.
The obvious smile on her face made Ye Xu even more uncomfortable. Ye Xu hesitated for a moment, and then took another piece of chicken with a somewhat awkward movement.
This time, he deliberately chose a piece of chili pepper with less weight, and when he put it in his mouth, he paid more attention than last time, chewing it slowly.
Ruan Ling unabashedly observed Ye Xu's reaction.
Ye Xu: "......" What is she doing looking at herself like this?
Fortunately, this time he was careful enough not to choke anymore, and finally tasted a little bit of taste.
Ruan Ling stared at Ye Xu with burning eyes and swallowed, and couldn't wait to ask, "How is it?" β
For a food lover, it can bring great satisfaction to successfully sell what you love to eat.
If it is to make a person who would not otherwise eat this kind of food change their mind, it is even more fulfilling!
Ye Xu: "...... Not bad. "He's not lying, and although he's not used to it yet, it does taste okay.
Ruan Lingxi smiled: "Great! After that, Aunt Zhang made a new dish, and you also ate it with me. How about the two of us giving her advice together? β
Although it's okay for her to cook these heavy-flavored dishes alone, she can't just eat one dish at a time, and it's easy to run out of them.
No matter how rich you are, it's always bad to waste food. Now there are more Ye Xu eating with her, which is exactly what Ruan Ling wants.
Seeing the woman in front of him smiling so brightly, Ye Xu was a little inexplicable.
He just ate two bites of "her food" and gave a fairly positive evaluation, is she so happy?
This kind of reaction is really unfamiliar to Ye Xu.
When he was very young, Ye Xu also looked forward to it. Just like when he first took the first grade, he pretended not to care and handed the report card to Ye Jingchi, secretly observing the other party's expression.
That was many years ago, but Ye Xu still remembered clearly that Ye Jingchi read the report card calmly, and spit out a sentence of "I know" without any waves.
After that, he received countless compliments from his teachers and classmates.
I didn't care about this for a long time, Ye Xu thought.
Ruan Ling's eyes were shining, looking at Ye Xu, still waiting for him to answer.
Ye Xu lowered his eyes: "Hmm." β
Ruan Ling was satisfied. She knew that Ye Xu didn't like to talk, so she stopped the topic when she saw that it was good, and continued to eat beautifully.
The other dishes on the table are also delicious, the taste is light but delicious and refreshing, and it goes just right with the dry pot chicken.
Ruan Ling ate very satisfied. After eating, she ran to the terrace to take a nap, then changed her clothes and went out.
She made an appointment with the agent yesterday and went to see the house this afternoon.
.
Ruan Ling asked the driver to drop him off at the agreed place. She arrived ten minutes early, but the agent arrived earlier and was already waiting for her downstairs in the apartment.
The other party was a man in his thirties, and when he saw Ruan Ling getting out of the car, he came over to greet him politely: "Hello, is it Miss Ruan?" β
Ruan Ling nodded: "Yes." β
The intermediary's eyes were attracted by the car Ruan Ling was sitting in, and he muttered in a loud voice: "Now such a rich person also comes to drive an online car-hailing?" If you want to take down this car, it has to be millions, right? β
Ruan Ling shook his head with a smile: "I don't know very well, maybe." β
This misunderstanding was just right, Ruan Ling didn't explain, lest the other side know that she was rich and treat her as a wronged boss.
The agent just mentioned it casually, and then began to chat with Ruan Ling about the house: "Miss Ruan, let's go upstairs and take a look." Let me tell you, we have a very good location. It's a five-minute walk to the subway, so it's easy to get anywhere, andβ"
From the surrounding environment to the supporting facilities, the intermediary praised it all the time.
Ruan Ling listened with a smile. It wasn't until the two of them came out of the elevator that the intermediary stopped drinking water with a dry mouth, and Ruan Ling asked, "I don't like to be noisy, how is the noise around here?" β
The agent immediately replied: "Are you worried about the shopping mall next to you?" You can rest assured, the mall is two streets away from this, and there will be no noise here! β
Ruan Ling's eyebrows moved slightly, and his tone was understated: "Is this so?" But I heard that the elementary school next to this side has recess exercises at 9 o'clock in the morning every day, and there are square dancers in the small square at 8 o'clock in the evening, so it shouldn't be too quiet, right? β
These are all things that Ruan Ling heard when she was chatting with Su Junruo. Su Junruo happened to have a friend who had rented a house here, otherwise it would be really difficult for someone who hadn't really lived in this neighborhood to know these details.
The intermediary's smile froze: "This, this ......"
Ruan Ling smiled back: "What's the matter, isn't it convenient to answer?" β
The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and the intermediary admitted defeat: "That's right, Miss Ruan." It's still quiet most of the time, but as you mentioned, it's a little noisy in the morning and evening. β
After a pause, the agent added: "But the school's recess exercise starts at half past nine, and the square dance is twice a week, and it will not exceed half past ten in the evening at the latest!" If you have any questions, just ask, I won't lie to you! β
Ruan Ling replied lightly: "You won't lie to me, but you will selectively hide it, right?" β
The intermediary's expression froze. Young girls are usually thin-skinned and easy to talk to, and the intermediary didn't expect Ruan Ling to be so difficult to mess with and be caught off guard.
After a while, the intermediary laughed: "You said you were laughing, how could it be." It's all because it's too hot, and I'm in a hurry, so I didn't make it clear to you. β
Ruan Ling looked at the intermediary for a while, until the other party's eyes became more and more empty, and she finally nodded: "Let's go and have a look first." β
The world is as black as a crow, and there is no real estate agent who is completely on the side of the tenant. Therefore, there is no point in holding on, it is enough to let the other party know that he is not easy to fool, and the rest still depends on his own attention.
The intermediary knew that Ruan Ling was willing to continue to think about it, and hurriedly agreed: "Okay, okay!" I'll open the door for you. β
The two walked into the apartment and began to tour the interior.
With the lesson just now, the intermediary spoke a lot more cautiously, and no longer dared to blow it up, for fear of offending Ruan Ling by saying the wrong thing.
Ruan Ling carefully observed the structure of the apartment, asking a question or two from time to time.
After visiting the first one, Ruan Ling and the agent looked at two nearby apartments.
Coming out of the last building, Ruan Ling separated from the intermediary and said that he would have to think again.
The driver has already come to pick up Ruan Ling and go home. But the road in front of the building was too narrow for cars to drive in, and Ruan Ling had to walk for two minutes to meet the driver.
But before thatβ
Ruan Ling looked behind right. As soon as she got downstairs, she felt a gaze stay on her.
Eye-catching with the peeking person, the man was stunned for a moment, and then pulled out a smile and stepped forward.
"Ruan Ling, it's really you!" The man spoke, "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, I don't even dare to admit it." β
System: [This person's name is Qin Yue, and he is your former colleague. γ
Seeing Ruan Ling nodding, Qin Yue asked tentatively, "Ruan Ling, what are you...... Looking at a house? β
The real estate agent is very recognizable, after all, no one will hang out in a suit in the summer, and the person just now still has a badge around his neck.
Ruan Ling let out a cold "um".
The system mentioned to her that the relationship between the original owner and those previous colleagues was not very good. And the eyes and movements of the man in front of him made Ruan Ling not have a good impression of him.
Hearing Ruan Ling's admission, Qin Yue's eyes immediately became subtle, and his heart quickly began to calculate.
He just bought a house last year and knows a lot about the situation in this area. This apartment is all commercial housing, and all of them are small.
The people who choose to live here are basically single young people, and small couples who are not wealthy.
Ruan Ling came to see this house, which shows that most of the rumors that she married a rich boss and resigned to become a rich wife are false.
Qin Yue's mind turned quickly, and at the same time, the system was also popularizing science with Ruan Ling.
When Ruan Ling joined the company, because she was too beautiful, she caused a big sensation in the company. Qin Yue, who was arranged to take Ruan Ling to familiarize himself with the work, also became the target of ridicule by many male colleagues.
Qin Yue behaved very upright on the surface, like a "good man who is not moved by beauty". But only Ruan Ling himself knew, in fact, Qin Yue often said ambiguous things in private.
It's just that Ruan Ling resolutely draws a line every time, and Qin Yue knows that he has no chance, so he slowly rests his thoughts.
Hearing the system talk about this, Ruan Ling frowned in disgust and decided to leave quickly.
Qin Yue understood Ruan Ling's movements as another meaning: this was showing timidity in front of him, and he was anxious to hide.
A sense of superiority came to his heart, and Qin Yue hurriedly stopped Ruan Ling: "Ruan Ling, do you have time at night?" You left your job in a hurry, and everyone didn't say goodbye to you. There's a dinner party today, why don't you come too? β
