Chapter 21

When Zhou Qizhen’s cell phone rang, Lu Xiaoqiao was opening the car door and preparing to get out of the car. He reminded: “Don’t forget to take the hairy crab.”

“Okay, Mr. Zhou, I’ll go up first. Thank you for driving me back tonight.”

“Well, send me a WeChat message after you get inside.”

After Lu Xiaoqiao closed the car door and stepped onto the stairs, Zhou Qizhen picked up the phone: “Hello! Sister, why are you calling me so late?”

The time difference between Zhou Qiyue’s country and China is more than three hours. It should be early morning over there.

“Why did you take so long to answer the phone? Have you sent the person?”

He turned on the Bluetooth of his cell phone and connected it to the car: “What do you mean?” 🆆🆆𝓦.𝙫𝙊🄳🅃🅆1.ℂℂ

After saying that, he took out a cigarette box from the storage box and knocked out a cigarette.

“Zhou Qizhen, you are capable. You have come to eat the grass in your own backyard, and you still don’t admit it?”

Hearing this, the hand holding the cigarette suddenly paused, and then put it in his mouth again. He took out the lighter as if nothing had happened, held the fire with his hand to light it, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled the smoke ring.

The left window of the car was wide open, and he placed his left hand holding the cigarette outside the window and flicked the ash with his index finger.

“I didn’t want to hide it. Dad called you?”

From the moment he saw Lu Xiaoqiao coming out of the kitchen and he stayed to eat, he didn’t want to hide it.

Zhou Qiyue didn’t expect him to admit it so easily, and he couldn’t say a lot of prepared words.

“Then what else, do you think Lin Lin can find out? You will never believe that your uncle will one day attack your best friend. When the sister becomes aunt, hey, how will you make up for the trauma in my daughter’s heart? “

Zhou Qizhen: “…”

“But then again, when did you have this idea? Did you think so on a whim because the girl is pretty, or…”

Zhou Qizhen interrupted the unfinished words on the other end of the phone: “I’m serious.”

Hearing his answer, Zhou Qiyue felt relieved. He was afraid that his brother was just impulsive and attracted by the other party. The other party was also his daughter’s friend and classmate, and it would be difficult to end it at that time.

“That’s good. What does Xiao Qiao mean? Does she have any interest in you? Don’t be too one-sided.”

Listening to Zhou Qiyue’s words, Zhou Qizhen was really a little heartbroken. So far, he was indeed the one who was too enthusiastic.

“You are a man, and you are so much older than her. If you like her, take the initiative. You will be 33 next year. Dad won’t urge you, but he sees that Uncle Liu’s grandson is in kindergarten. How can he not be anxious?”

Zhou Qizhen didn’t rush to talk, but took the phone and looked at it. It showed that you had a new message. He opened the WeChat interface and clicked on the address book with the note “Qiao Qiao”.

[Mr. Zhou, I’m going into the house. Please drive carefully on the road [kiss]. 】

Originally, he was casually swiping the screen of his phone, but suddenly he saw a kiss emoji behind the message. He thought it was his illusion, his body suddenly stiffened, and he quickly sat up. When he wanted to confirm it again, it showed that “Qiao Qiao” had withdrawn a message.

Then, four emojis were sent in a row.

【[cracked][sigh][frown][crying]. 】

【Did Mr. Zhou see it? You didn’t see it, I clicked the wrong one [crying]. 】

Zhou Qizhen couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth.

【Yeah, I saw it. 】

Seeing that the little girl didn’t reply for a long time, he didn’t dare to tease her too much, so he replied again.

【It’s okay. “

No, Zhou Qizhen, what are you doing? I’ve been telling you for a long time, did you hear me? Dad and aunt both want you to be well more than anyone else. It’s been so many years, it’s time to let it go. Every time you come home, aunt is happier than dad. If mom was still alive, she wouldn’t want you to be like this.”

Zhou Qizhen fastened his seat belt again, released the handbrake, started the car, and replied in a cold tone: “If mom was still alive, she wouldn’t have anything to do with it.”

Zhou Qiyue didn’t want to have an unpleasant quarrel with Qin Momo every time because of this matter, nor did he want this to be his eternal demon.

“Okay, I won’t say anything more. Just drive carefully. When you get married and have children, you will know what I mean.” After they hung up the phone, Zhou Qi was thinking about what Zhou Qiyue had just said. Getting married? He really wanted to have a family, a home with Lu Xiaoqiao.

…

During the golden week of National Day.

Lu Xiaoqiao took Qin Momo’s place in the big class for five days, and planned to spend the remaining two days relaxing.

My aunt called several times to ask her to go to her house for dinner, but she used excuses to shirk it. She knew that she would be scolded for helping Qin Momo with work, and she would always say that helping others would cause trouble for herself.

Around 9:30 in the morning. 🅆𝕎𝕎.𝕍𝓞𝘿𝙏🅆1.𝘾ℂI

Finally don’t have to go to work today. I was thinking of sleeping in. My cell phone rang. I pulled the phone out from under my pillow. The caller ID was ‘Lin Lin’.

I swiped to answer the call: “Hello! Lin Lin, what’s up so early?”

A lazy voice came from the receiver. It sounded like she just woke up: “Xiao Qiao, you lazy bastard, you haven’t gotten up yet!”

“I stayed up until two in the morning yesterday. I don’t have to go to work today. It’s just me and Tuanzi at home. Let’s go to sleep! The weather is neither too cold nor too hot. It’s so comfortable to cover myself with the quilt.”

After saying that, he stretched.

“Then can you come over and make shrimp for me when you have time?”

“Ah? Didn’t I just make it for you a few days ago?” Lu Xiaoqiao counted the days in his mind. It was not even ten days.

Lin Lin complained: “You did cook, but I didn’t get to eat much. My uncle ate half of it by himself. I didn’t expect that my uncle is such a foodie.”

Zhao Yaqin, who was sitting next to Lin Lin, patted her and said: “This kid, you’re talking nonsense. Your uncle didn’t eat half of it. It was because Xiao Qiao’s cooking was so delicious that he ate a few more bites.”

Lin Lin retorted in a tender voice: “I’m not talking nonsense. If you don’t believe me, ask my brother. He only ate one, I ate five, you and grandpa ate two each, and the rest went into my uncle’s stomach. I’m counting them.”

“Say this to your uncle again.”

Zhao Yaqin began to threaten Lin Lin anxiously. She couldn’t let Zhou Qizhen have a bad image in front of the little girl.

“Humph!” Lin Lin pouted and said nothing.

Zhao Yaqin took the phone from Lin Lin: “Xiao Qiao, if you don’t have to go to work today, come over. You can teach me how to cook this shrimp. I think everyone likes it.”

“Okay! Then grandma, wait for me. I’ll go over after I pack up.”

“You don’t have to take a car by yourself. I’ll let Qizhen pick you up. His father has something to do with him and he just needs to come over. The newly built viaduct is open, and it’s convenient to drive from his place to where you live.”

“Xiao Qiao, bring Tuanzi with you.” Lin Lin added a sentence beside.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Xiaoqiao got up and packed up quickly. She brushed her teeth and washed her face. Considering that the weather was getting a little cold, she picked out a pair of jeans from the closet, paired with a short-sleeved white T-shirt, and a thin knitted jacket in lotus pink. It would be convenient to take off the jacket when it got hot.

She tied her hair into a half-high ponytail, which is very popular recently, and left a little bangs on both sides of her forehead, making her look two years younger.

As soon as she packed up, Zhou Qizhen called.

“Hello! Mr. Zhou, Lin Lin asked me to bring Tuanzi over. Can your car be used for dogs?”

“Sure, I’m downstairs, you come down.”

Lu Xiaoqiao took a pet handbag and put Tuanzi in it, leaving only a small head exposed, mainly because she was afraid of dirtying the car, which looked very expensive.

When Lu Xiaoqiao went downstairs, she saw a black Bentley parked next to the flower bed. There were usually no luxury cars in their community. When she was wondering if it was his car, she saw the window of the driver’s seat lowered, revealing the handsome face of the man inside.

When I opened the car door and got in, I saw Zhou Qi was on the phone, and he was communicating in pure English. He really made a lot of calls. Eight out of ten times I saw him was on the phone. It seems that being a boss is not that easy.

Seeing that Lu Xiaoqiao had fastened her seat belt, I started the car. Because it was a holiday and it was this time, there were not many cars on the road.
