After eating barbecue too much at night, Ruan Ling stayed up all night and went to the gym at home to exercise for a while.

When I woke up the next day, it was almost noon.

Today, Ruan Ling also made an appointment to see the house in the afternoon, she stayed in bed for a while, and slowly got up to brush her teeth and wash her face.

Suddenly there was an exclamation from the system: "I'll go! There are big melons! 】

Ruan Ling said lazily: "What melon?" ”

The synthesized sound of the system revealed a strange excitement: [You go and see! There is a group of colleagues who you haven't retreated from, and there is a quarrel inside! Now there are hundreds of chat logs! 】

Ruan Ling let out an "oh" and slapped the daytime essence on her face in the mirror.

After a period of silence, the system couldn't hold back at first: [Don't you have curiosity? 】

Ruan Ling continued to carry out the next skin care step, and said slowly: "Yes." ”

[Then why don't you look at your phone?] 】

Ruan Ling: "I'm waiting for you to tell me." ”

The system is sad and indignant: [I said that I didn't use it like this!] I'm an advanced AI that I use to post quests and detect plot progress! It's not a chat assistant! 】

"But it's really troublesome to look through the chat history." Ruan Ling was confident, "Anyway, you've already seen it, tell me about it." ”

[......] Silent refusal.

Ruan Ling didn't rush, leisurely admiring her fair and delicate skin in the mirror, like a shelled egg.

After only half a minute, the system couldn't bear the loneliness and chose to compromise.

[Do you know, that Qin Yue not only tried to hook up with you, but also had an affair with another colleague at the same time, and even——]

The system talked to Ruan Ling for a long time, and finally explained the matter.

It turned out that after yesterday's party, someone complained to Qin Yue's wife, saying that Qin Yue had bad intentions towards Ruan Ling.

After listening to this, Qin Yue's wife went to check her mobile phone, and first checked the chat records of Qin Yue and Ruan Ling. As a result, only Qin Yue's unilateral words were ambiguous between the two, Ruan Ling's attitude was cold and indifferent, and he later blacked Qin Yue.

Qin Yue's wife had just given birth to a child, and it was the time to be weak. Although I was angry in my heart, I thought that since nothing actually happened, the other party admitted that it was wrong, and the matter was over.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yue not only felt that he was right, but also blamed his wife for not knowing how to clean herself up after she was pregnant, and she was sloppy every day.

Qin Yue's wife was so angry that she not only checked all of Qin Yue's chat records, but also searched through various software, including takeaways, hotels, wallets, and even music players.

In the end, the battle was tragic, and it was found out that Qin Yue had been involved with another female colleague, and he also went to an irregular massage parlor with a male colleague during his wife's pregnancy.

Qin Yue's wife sent the evidence to various colleague groups, and it seemed that she was planning to break the net and ruin the other party before the divorce.

There are female colleagues in the group who came out to defend themselves, male colleagues who helped Qin Yue exonerate, and peacemakers who persuaded Qin Yue's wife to calm down, which was so lively.

[In short, because of what you said at the dinner, now Qin Yue's side is already jumping chickens and dogs! I heard that Qin Yue's wedding house was bought by his wife in full before marriage, and now he has been kicked out and is homeless! 】

After listening to the system, Ruan Ling applauded approvingly: "Well, that lewd man deserves it, you spoke well, and it is worth encouraging!" Keep up the good work next time! ”

[Of course!] I'm a professional - no, I'm not a chat assistant! 】

"Okay, okay, if you say no, it's not."

System: [......] Feels perfunctory.

.

Soon after the melon-eating time ended, it was time to eat again.

Ruan Ling suspected that the maid at home would notify Ye Xu to eat first every time, and then call him after a while. Otherwise, why was Ye Xu already seated at the table when she arrived at the restaurant?

The two of them nodded instead of greeting as they did at noon yesterday, and Ruan Ling still sat in a position separated from Ye Xu, and then the two began to move their chopsticks one after another.

Ruan Ling felt that if this continued, she and Ye Xu might not be able to be "mother and son filial piety", but they would definitely be able to become a pair of rice partners with full tacit understanding.

Aunt Zhang also stood aside, waiting impatiently for Ruan Ling to comment on today's dish.

Ruan Ling picked up a piece of chili pepper and fried the meat and chewed it carefully.

After a moment, she nodded, "Hmm! Delicious! "It's on par with the best stir-fried pork she's ever had in a restaurant, and there's really nothing to be faulty about.

Aunt Zhang smiled: "Hehe, it's good if my wife is satisfied." ”

Ruan Ling finished eating by herself, and went to see Ye Xu again. She didn't forget that yesterday Ye Xu agreed to try a new dish with her.

Seeing Ruan Ling like this, Aunt Zhang also had the courage to go to see Ye Xu.

This plate of stir-fried pork is the best taste that Aunt Zhang has tried several times. Of course, the other test items were not wasted, and they were all eaten up by Aunt Zhang herself and other maids.

After spending so much thought, although Aunt Zhang knew that the little master in the family didn't like to eat heavy dishes, she also looked forward to getting more recognition.

The two people in the restaurant looked at themselves expectantly, and Ye Xu felt an inexplicable pressure.

However, I don't feel disgusted.

Ye Xu took a small stir-fried meat with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, his cautious movements obviously absorbed the previous lesson.

The two pairs of eyes were still staring at Ye Xu.

Aunt Zhang couldn't help but speak first: "How is it?" Little master? ”

Ye Xu: "...... Not bad. ”

Ruan Ling asked on the side: "That's what it means to be delicious?" ”

Ye Xu: "...... Well. ”

Aunt Zhang suddenly smiled happily, and her mouth couldn't close: "It's really good!" My wife and young master both love to eat, so I really haven't been busy in the past few hours! ”

This is the first time she has been praised by the young master since she came to work in the Ye family, thanks to his wife.

Aunt Zhang secretly made up her mind in her heart that no matter what her wife asked for in the future, she would do her best to meet them!

As for Ye Jingchi?

Compared with Ruan Ling, who had only been here for a few days, Aunt Zhang definitely respected Ye Jingchi more in her heart.

But Mr. Ye is either on a business trip or busy working in the company all year round, and the number of times he eats at home every month is only a handful, and he has no requirements for dishes, and his taste never changes.

So Aunt Zhang silently adjusted Ruan Ling's priority to the front of Ye Jingchi in her heart.

For the other dishes on the table that were in line with Ye Jingchi's taste, Aunt Zhang also began to ask Ruan Ling's opinion.

Ruan Ling tasted all the dishes, and then unceremoniously suggested according to his taste: "I like to eat scrambled eggs, which are a little too big now." What do you think? ”

Ye Xu: "...... I can do both. ”

Ruan Ling: "That Aunt Zhang, next time you make eggs, you will scramble them a little more!" ”

Aunt Zhang agreed quickly: "Okay wife! ”

"I prefer to eat eggplant with skin, the taste is more tough, what about you?"

"Everything."

"That's—"

"No problem, ma'am! I guarantee not to peel it next time! ”

……

After a round of dialogue, the recipes of several dishes on the table were all improved by Ruan Ling.

The system is no longer looking: [When Ye Jingchi comes back from a business trip, his favorability towards you will definitely decline!] 】

Ruan Ling's face was not red and his heart was not beating: "Anyway, he basically doesn't eat at home, in case he is really dissatisfied, then-"

The system is full of hope: [Then let Aunt Zhang change it back? ] 】

"Nope." Ruan Ling said categorically, "Then I'll convince him!" ”

One of the rules of foodie: never give in to the standard of food!

【…… I wish you success. 】

.

After lunch, Ruan Ling went out again to look at the houses for the afternoon, this time in several office buildings.

However, after looking around, Ruan Ling was not very satisfied. The location is average, and there are many restrictions.

When Ruan Ling returned home, she made another comparison and found that what she liked the most was actually the apartment she first saw.

It is close to schools and shopping malls, with dense traffic and convenient transportation. The rent and area are also suitable, and it is still a loft, and she can rest on the second floor when needed.

In addition, the decoration is also very in line with Ruan Ling's aesthetics, simple and generous, and it can be opened without major changes.

The disadvantage is that it will be a little noisy in the morning and evening, but the photography studio is generally open in broad daylight, which Ruan Ling finds acceptable.

Ruan Ling is character who acts immediately when she decides, so she contacted the intermediary yesterday, and after some tugging, she reached a verbal agreement with 85% off the initial price to sign the contract tomorrow.

After settling on the house, Ruan Ling felt that her dream was close at hand, and her motivation increased a lot.

So after dinner, she took her computer and ran to the terrace - this has been used by Ruan Ling as her exclusive office area.

There's a lot more to do, and there's a lot to buy just a lot: camera equipment, set materials, styling supplies, cosmetics, and so on.

In addition, the theme design, sample shooting, and publicity in the early stage of the opening also require detailed planning.

Fortunately, Ruan Ling used to do part-time freelance photography, and she has some experience, so she won't bump around like a headless fly.

She was so immersed in the excitement that her dream was about to come true that she lost track of time.

……

In the middle of the night, it was past 10 o'clock.

The maid, who was resting, woke up when he heard the sound of the wheels of the suitcase scratching the floor at the entrance.

After the maid went out to check, he was surprised to find that Ye Jingchi, who was supposed to be home tomorrow, had come back early.

"Mr. Ye!" The servant hurriedly went up to pick up Ye Jingchi's box, "Why did you come back, and the housekeeper didn't-"

"Take your time, don't rush." Ye Jingchi said warmly, "This time it was a temporary itinerary, and the landing time of the flight was too late, so I asked Pei Tezhu not to notify Lao He." ”

Ye Jingchi is strict with his work, but he is not overly strict, and at the same time he will think about his subordinates, which is one of the reasons why he has a high prestige among employees.

The man handed the luggage to the maid and took off his coat again: "They're all resting?" ”

The maid replied: "The young master has a final exam next week, so I go to bed early, and I will turn off the lights and rest at ten o'clock." ”

Ye Jingchi untied his tie and unbuttoned the collar again: "Hmm." ”

The servant said, "Madame, she ...... It seems like he's busy with something. I went to ask twenty minutes ago, and my wife said that she would go back to her room to rest when she was tired. ”

Ye Jingchi was unbuttoning the cufflinks of his shirt with his hands, and he paused slightly when he heard the words.

Servant: "...... Mr. Ye? ”

"Just dispose of the contents of the box as usual." After Ye Jingchi finished speaking, he walked towards the stairs alone.

……

Ye Jingchi rarely comes to the terrace on the second floor. He is busy with work, and most of the time he stays in the study at home, except for resting in the bedroom.

The terrace is decorated with dotted light strips, and several pots of succulent are placed on the flower stands, which are growing well under the care of the servants.

In the middle is a small wooden square table with a lamp on it, as well as a computer.

The light was still on, but Ruan Ling fell asleep on the table.

Her long hair was scattered behind her, swaying gently in the summer night breeze.

Ye Jingchi walked closer.

The small half of the woman's face looked very quiet against the backdrop of the light. The corners of his mouth are slightly upturned, and he seems to be in a good mood.

Ye Jingchi's gaze softened slightly.

Ruan Ling was wearing a shawl on her body. But I don't know if it's because of her turmoil, but at the moment only one corner of the shawl hangs on her shoulder, crumbling.

Ye Jingchi subconsciously reached out to tidy up, but paused in mid-air.

In the few seconds he hesitated, Ruan Ling woke up.
