C17
At 3: 20 in the afternoon, the nurse in charge of her mother's ward called Pei Qingcheng and told her that Pei Zhijun had just gone to see Mrs. Pei and was crying bitterly while holding her in his arms.
He also asked the nurse to bring Pei Qingcheng a message, saying, "Little sister, I'll take care of you and mother in the future!"
In other words, his brother would not live lightly anymore.
Pei Qingcheng was in a relaxed mood. Unavoidably, she had a smile on her face.
This was probably the first time she was smiling inside the Zhuang Sheng's Dream, so Housekeeper Hu and a lot of maids hid at the kitchen door and watched her.
Today, my wife personally went to the kitchen to cook for mister, this is a miracle in the world.
Special Assistant Ding was very nervous. He sent a bunch of text messages back to Ye Zichen with a lot of instructions.
Give her what she needs, and then disappear, giving her and me plenty of space.
Pei Qingcheng was busy in the kitchen. She could cook, and when she was alone at school in England, she cooked by herself because the food in Kampuchea was unacceptable.
Ye Juan said he likes fish, shrimp and seafood, which she also likes to eat.
There was a small aquarium behind the kitchen with some seafood in it.
Pei Qingcheng fished out two green crabs to make curry crabs, then she fished out a red and green spot steamed. She made a seafood soup, then fried two vegetables for a delicious and nutritious dinner.
When Ye Juan left the company, it was exactly five-thirty.
It was rare that Ye Juan didn't work overtime, so even the company's executives were surprised.
Ye Juan was a workaholic, so the other executives had to keep him company.
No one had as much physical strength as he did. Sometimes, even after an all-nighter, he would still be able to have a refreshed meeting the next day.
Therefore, those who could stay by Ye Juan's side for a long time were definitely dragons and phoenixes among men.
As the car was carrying Ye Juan towards the Zhuang Sheng's Dream, Ye Juan suddenly said when they were passing by a cake shop: "Stop here."
Ding Hann was not surprised at all. I must be buying a cake for my wife to eat.
"Master, how about I go buy it?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he felt that he was being a little superfluous, so he stayed in the car and waited.
In Ding Hann's memory, I don't think I've ever bought anything.
He wondered if the people in the cake shop would go crazy if they recognized Ye Juan and bought the cake himself.
After a while, Ye Juan returned to the car. Suddenly, Ding Hann smelled the smell of gas leaking out.
durian!
I hate the smell of durian, but I bought a durian cake!
Needless to say, it was her wife's favorite food.
The kitchen of Zhuang Sheng's Dream belonged to Pei Qingcheng today.
It had been a long time since he had cooked like this, carefully preparing a meal for someone.
The fish had been steamed for ten minutes and there were only five minutes left.
As soon as the curry crab left the pot, the seafood soup was already bubbling, and two more vegetables would be a success.
Suddenly, she felt that the kitchen was extremely quiet. The servants who had helped her earlier were completely silent.
Her instincts made her turn around, and she saw Ye Juan, who had just come back from work.
He was dressed in a black suit and overcoat. A dark purple tie with a silver stripe was probably the only bright spot on his clothes.
Even through the heat coming out of the steamer, Ye Juan's gaze could still penetrate her body and be as sharp as a bone.
Although he had hidden his piercing gaze from her, it was still sharp.
Pei Qingcheng suddenly remembered something Yin Hann had told her before. He said, "I don't have any secrets in front of Ye. He can see through me with a glance. Such a person is bound to have the whole world in his hands."
Then, now, three years after Yin Hann's death, Ye Juan obviously had the world in his hands.
Pei Qingcheng wiped her hands on her apron and tried to speak as naturally as possible, "I'll cook two vegetables."
Ye Juan suddenly walked towards her. At this moment, she noticed that he was carrying a bunch of bird of paradise in his arms. It was her favorite flower.
A man like Ye Juan carrying flowers in his arms seemed a bit sudden.
She just didn't want to owe him anything, so she paid him back today purely because he found a lawyer for her brother and let him see her mother.
In her opinion, it was a debt repayment. In Ye Juan's opinion, it was their first official date.
Pei Qingcheng received it and smiled. "Thank you."
Although Pei Qingcheng was not sincere, her smile surpassed the orange bird of paradise in her arms.
He suddenly saw Pei Qingcheng with her back facing him, wearing an apron and busying herself in the kitchen. For a thousandth of a second, he had an illusion that he and Pei Qingcheng were the most ordinary couple in the world.
When he came home from work, she was busy in the kitchen, waiting for him to come home for dinner.
If anyone else knew that Ye Juan, who could cover the sky with his hands, could only wish for this, would he shatter their big fangs?
Pei Qingcheng's smile soon disappeared as she passed the flower to the person beside her. "Help me insert it."
"Yes, ma'am."
"I'm going to fry a duck oil pea seed. You go out first." Pei Qingcheng started boiling oil. Suddenly, Ye Juan took off his jacket and handed it over to Ding Hann. He then took off Pei Qingcheng's apron and wrapped it around himself.
Pei Qingcheng looked at him in surprise. "What?"
"Don't let the hot oil splash you." He deftly picked up the spatula and threw the emerald green pea seedlings into the pot, causing the hot oil to crack against the water-filled pea seedlings.
Pei Qingcheng didn't expect Ye Juan to cook. She leaned on the kitchen door and looked at him.
She really didn't understand Ye Juan at all.
The two vegetables were quickly done cooking. The servants served the dishes and left the dining room one by one.
Ding Hann also lived in Zhuang Sheng's Dream, but he could only go to the employee cafeteria for dinner today.
There were four dishes on the table, one seafood soup.
Yellow, red, green and white. The table was covered with a pink-checked tablecloth that was beautifully arranged.
Ye Juan also changed his clothes. He wore a black suit with a white shirt and a brown bow tie.
Pei Qingcheng had no choice but to go back to her room and change into a white dress.
When she went downstairs with Ye Juan, she saw herself in the mirror inlaid on the wall. She and Ye Juan were unexpectedly standing in perfect unison.
She ducked her head and hurried down the stairs and into the dining room.
There was a bottle of wine on the table, already awake and in an ice bucket.
Pei Qingcheng stood up to pour the wine, but Ye Juan grabbed the bottle of wine before her.
"Can you drink?" Ye Juan's gaze indistinctly swept over her neck.
Pei Qingcheng immediately remembered the aftereffects of drinking too much the night before. She subconsciously touched her neck. Today, the little strawberry had already lightened quite a bit, so she put on the clothes that exposed her neck.
Her face reddened. "Curried crabs don't deserve red wine."
A crimson red liquid slowly flowed out from the bottle and flowed into the wine cup in front of Pei Qingcheng.
However, she had only poured half of it. Pei Qingcheng's alcohol tolerance was actually quite good. It was just that she was easily drunk from being depressed for the past few days.
The wine was poured and the dishes were in front of them. The two of them sat opposite each other.
Pei Qingcheng heard the sound of her heart beating.
Was it because she was worried that her heart was beating so fast that she was able to eat dinner quietly and peacefully with her enemies during such a long period of time?
She tried her best to calm her emotions. She picked up a curry crab and put it on Ye Juan's plate. "Try it."
Ye Juan lowered his head to eat the crab. Suddenly, he raised his head and smiled: "It's delicious."
Pei Qingcheng rarely saw Ye Juan smile. In the instant he laughed, this man that made countless people tremble in fear was actually like an innocent child.
However, this feeling only lasted for a moment. Pei Qingcheng had a taste of it too.
Her cooking skills hadn't deteriorated. Previously, Yin Hann loved to eat the curry crab she made, saying that it was not enough no matter what.
She took a deep breath and tried to temporarily put Yin Hann aside. Then she raised her glass towards Ye Juan and said, "Thank you for your help. I know a meal is nothing, but this is all I can give you."
"A priceless treasure." Ye Juan also raised his glass and lightly clinked it with her.
Pei Qingcheng was stunned. Her meal was priceless?
She laughed at herself and drained her glass.
After he finished drinking, he handed the empty wine cup in front of Ye Juan: "Some more."
Ye Juan hesitated, but he still poured her another half cup.
After drinking a few cups of wine, a warm feeling slowly rose from her lower abdomen to her face. She felt that her face was a little hot, so she put the cup against her face to make it a little more comfortable.
Pei Qingcheng was slightly tipsy, a smile emerging on her face as well. Her eyes seemed to be looking forward to something.
Ye Juan stared at her and suddenly reached out his hand to support her body.
She giggled. "This red wine tastes really good."
Pei Qingcheng was drunk. Three and a half glasses of red wine made her drunk.
"Sit down. I'll get you a cup of hot water." Ye Juan helped her up on the chair.
"I'm not drunk. Do you think I'm that easily drunk?" Pei Qingcheng retracted her smile. Although her eyes were a bit unfocused, they were still sober.
She held the cup of water and looked at Ye Juan with a smile, "I remember now, this isn't the first time we talked on the phone. I still remember when I called Yin Hann's dorm, and it was you who picked up the call. In the end, you pretended to be Yin Hann and talked to me for a long time, but I didn't recognize that it wasn't Yin Hann's voice."
She still remembered what happened seven years ago.
Ye Juan stared at the girl in front of him. How long had it been since he last saw her smile like that?
Like a child without a heart.
The first time I saw her in front of that famous sculpture at school, she was talking to her classmates and laughing up and down, as if the sun were gathering around her.
Ye Juan put down the glass in his hand, squatted in front of her, and gently pinched her chin with two fingers to pull her face closer to his.
Pei Qingcheng's usually pale face was covered with two red clouds. Her eyes were half closed, and the mist was blocked by her long eyelashes.
Ye Juan's thumb gently caressed her smooth skin, straight nose, and soft and moist lips.
She did not resist. Only the drunk Pei Qingcheng would not avoid him.
Pei Qingcheng raised her eyebrows and smiled with her hands supporting her cheeks, "Why are you so close to me? Don't recognize me? "But I know you, Ye Juan." She touched Ye Juan's hands that were on her face: "These are Mo City's Chaotic Storm's hands."
"Finally, you got drunk and didn't take me for someone else." Ye Juan groaned and pressed his lips against Pei Qingcheng's.
