Chapter 16: Don’t think about it, just eat

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.” Su Qingtan immediately apologized, then looked speechless, “But Mr. Duan, these three bags of plums cost 7,600 yuan, 7,600!”

“What kind of plums are these, I don’t think what’s in my mouth is plums anymore, it’s RMB!”

I, a poor person, can’t help but eat a mouthful of RMB early in the morning.

Su Qingtan saw a hint of speechless in Duan Jinhuai’s calm expression, she silently swallowed the last sentence.

Duan Jinhuai thought for a moment and asked, “Su Qingtan, is money a big deal to you?”

“Of course.” Su Qingtan said, “Money is a big deal to most people in the world.”

She looked at Duan Jinhuai and said, “But Mr. Duan, you can’t possibly understand our kind of big deal feelings.”

“I can’t indeed.” Duan Jinhuai finished speaking and didn’t say anything else.

Su Qingtan also silently put down the plums in her hand, she was silent, calming her feelings of having eaten RMB.

When they were about to reach the rented house, there was a red light, Duan Jinhuai stopped the car, reached into the bag and took out a bag of plums, handing it to Su Qingtan, “Don’t think about it, just eat.”

His eyes were filled with rare gentleness.

Su Qingtan was unconsciously stunned.

She suspected that she had seen wrong, she wanted to take a closer look, but Duan Jinhuai had already turned his head and continued driving.

Su Qingtan held the plums, she glanced at Duan Jinhuai’s profile.

Still cold, he was still the same cold person.

It must be that she was scared by the price of the plums, even illusions were produced.

Forget it, let’s fight fire with fire.

Su Qingtan put a plum in her mouth, she exclaimed: You know what, you really can’t say, this RMB… is really quite delicious.

Duan Jinhuai couldn’t see her inner theater, but seeing her eat the plums again, a smile appeared on his face again.

When they reached the rented house, Duan Jinhuai parked the car, Su Qingtan said, “Mr. Duan, wait for me here, I’ll get the documents and come back.”

Duan Jinhuai shook his head, “Let’s go together.”

Su Qingtan was about to say no, Duan Jinhuai said again, “I found you fainted here the day before yesterday.”

Su Qingtan was suddenly a little embarrassed, as if to fit the scene, her phone rang at this time.

She took it out and saw that it was a call from the VIP ward.

Embarrassment turned into nervousness, Su Qingtan looked up at Duan Jinhuai, and immediately had an idea.

She answered the phone and heard the nurse anxiously asking where she had gone, she said, “Oh, I ran into Mr. Duan while I was out for a walk, he took me out for a stroll, we’ll be back soon.”

She’s quite good at making excuses. Duan Jinhuai glanced at her, he held back a smile and turned to get out of the car.

But his arm was pulled by Su Qingtan.

Duan Jinhuai followed her hand on his arm, he saw her pale face and bright eyes, he was a little stunned.

But he didn’t stay stunned for a few seconds, because Su Qingtan handed him the phone.

Duan Jinhuai instantly understood her meaning, his heart moved, he shook his head and refused to take the phone.

Su Qingtan pulled his arm and wouldn’t let go, she showed a flattering smile, “Mr. Duan…”

Duan Jinhuai was shaken by her for two seconds before he reached out to take the phone and replied to the nurse, “Hmm, I’m with her, I’ll take her back later.”

Duan Jinhuai took the phone, Su Qingtan let go of his arm and got out of the car.

Duan Jinhuai hung up the phone, he looked at his arm that she had pulled before getting out of the car and following her.

The two of them went to the rented house, Duan Jinhuai saw two large storage boxes in the living room, he also saw the cardboard boxes in Su Qingtan’s room.

Those were the things Su Qingtan had packed up after her divorce.

Su Qingtan was about to leave after getting the documents, Duan Jinhuai pointed at the storage boxes and asked, “Are you moving to the new house you bought?”

“Yes.” Su Qingtan agreed, she was also a little worried.

She had agreed with Li Su that she would move within a week, she had been hospitalized, and she definitely wouldn’t have enough time—

She had to move, even if she didn’t have enough time, she had said a week, so it would be a week.

Su Qingtan worried for a while, she was between the two ideas of contacting Li Su to explain and no longer having contact with Li Su, she firmly chose the latter.

Most of the time, unless Su Qingtan was willing to expose herself, her face wouldn’t show that she was in trouble in the eyes of others.

Of course, this “others” didn’t include Duan Jinhuai.

Duan Jinhuai saw the momentary worry and determination in her eyes, he didn’t say anything at the time, after taking Su Qingtan to get her household registration done, he asked on the way back to the hospital, “When are you planning to move, which moving company are you going to hire?”

Su Qingtan was holding her own household registration booklet and was happy, she heard Duan Jinhuai ask this, she wanted to perfunctorily answer him, but then she changed her mind.

This big shot was like playing with her when he investigated her, she couldn’t perfunctorily answer him, it was better to be honest.

“I agreed with my ex-husband to move within a week, it’s been three days since I told him, so I should move in the next two days.”

“As for the moving company, I’ll look at the recommendations online, I’ll find one with a high rating.”

Duan Jinhuai: “So, you have to sneak out of the hospital again?”

“…” What else can I do?

Su Qingtan chuckled lightly and didn’t say anything.

He had assumed.

Duan Jinhuai sighed inwardly and said, “I’ll help you move.”

Su Qingtan was stunned for a moment, she immediately refused, “No need, we’re not related, I’ve already troubled you too much.”

Duan Jinhuai didn’t say anything as he drove.

They were busy with the household registration, and it was already past lunchtime, neither of them had eaten lunch.

Su Qingtan felt hungry and remembered this, she looked at the road and said to Duan Jinhuai, “Mr. Duan, go straight, turn right at the third traffic light.”

Duan Jinhuai thought she had something else to do, so he drove according to her instructions, then stopped outside an alley.

After getting out of the car, Su Qingtan pointed to the alley and said, “Mr. Duan, I’ll treat you to a meal. There’s a casserole shop in this alley that’s really delicious, and it doesn’t close in the afternoon, it’s always open.”

Duan Jinhuai nodded and walked into the alley first.

Su Qingtan was stunned for a moment, she followed and said, “There’s also a salt-water chicken shop that’s really delicious, I’ll get half a chicken later, we’ll eat it with the casserole.”

“Okay.” Duan Jinhuai agreed.

Su Qingtan was stunned again, when Su Qingtan got the salt-water chicken, the two of them sat down in the casserole shop, Duan Jinhuai was eating the salt-water chicken in big bites, Su Qingtan said to Duan Jinhuai, “I thought you wouldn’t be used to eating in a place like this.”

“It’s quite delicious.” Duan Jinhuai said.

“I always feel like you don’t fit in with this kind of shop.”

Su Qingtan’s words made Duan Jinhuai ask in confusion, “Then why did you bring me here?”

“Because I like to eat here.” Su Qingtan was very confident.

Duan Jinhuai directly laughed, but before he could speak, Su Qingtan said again, “I thought if you didn’t want to eat, I would pack it and take it back to the hospital, then let you eat the VIP patient food.”

“That’s delicious too.”

Duan Jinhuai chuckled again.

Su Qingtan looked at him and was stunned again.

Duan Jinhuai was amused by her expression, he asked, “Why are you making that expression?”

“Because you’re smiling—”
