Chapter 69

Cheng Jun had really fulfilled his promise.

The dumplings were not made by Ruan Jiu Jiu alone, half were Ruan Jiu Jiu’s Yuanbao ^[1]Yuanbao Dumplings – It’s called Yuanbao dumplings because they look like the money they use in the old days. dumplings, and half were Cheng Jun’s “moon-shaped” dumplings. He added a lot of stuffing, and the “moon-shaped” dumplings leaked several times, and they almost turned into soup, which made Ruan Jiu Jiu laugh for a while.

After eating two and a half plates of dumplings, Ruan Jiu Jiu was afraid that Cheng Jun’s stomach would burst, and quickly stopped his unrestrained behavior.

Cheng Jun only become unrestrained in eating.

For other things, he always looked tired and disinterested. Even when his work was done, he would never waste time.

For the first time, Ruan Jiu Jiu felt that the atmosphere of only two people celebrating the New Year was pretty good. She had already decided to go to another city for the holidays next year. It would be better to go to the beach, run around with bare feet, and feel the sun that should have been cold in winter.
Sitting on the sofa, Cheng Jun suddenly asked: “Going to work?

“Of course, I’m going.”

The feeling of doing nothing at home was just too unpleasant, but there was still a job that makes her feel at ease. Ruan Jiu Jiu kept peeling the oranges to eat. Cheng Jun bought the oranges when he went to the supermarket. They were so sweet and watery that it was so sweet to her heart.

“Do you want to eat?”

Before Ruan Jiu Jiu’s words came to an end, Cheng Jun took the orange in her hand and ate it.

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “…… I mean, peel one for yourself.”

Cheng Jun: “Thank you.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “Oh!”

……

Probably because of eating too much orange, the next day Ruan Jiu Jiu woke up with a mouth ulcer on the tip of her tongue, which made her cry when she brushed her teeth.

Cheng Jun thought she was crying.

He stood there thinking for a moment, and said, “If you don’t want to go to work, don’t go.”

In that way, he quite looked like a father coaxing a child who was unwilling to go to school, with a bit of caution. Ruan Jiu Jiu immediately retorted, once her words came out, they turned into a vague and tearful tone: “It’s not like that…”

Cheng Jun: “…”

Ruan Jiu Jiu was in too much pain to say anything: “…” Forget it, she’d better shut up.

When she returned to the company again, Tu Nan had greeted Ruan Jiu Jiu’s return with the roar of gongs, drums, and firecrackers. He was so enthusiastic throughout the whole process that he was beyond words, he surrounded Ruan Jiu Jiu while being so caring that even the assistant looked at him with disgust.

Ruan Jiu Jiu’s tongue was still hurting, and she was a little bit unwilling to speak: “Ahen you going su have a meehing (Aren’t you going to have a meeting)?”

Tu Nan’s eyes suddenly became very strange: “Sister-in-law, what’s wrong with you? “

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “Ghat a shore (Got a sore). “

Tu Nan’s strange eyes showed that he did not believe it at all. It must be the seemingly “desolate but was actually a beast” boss who bit his sister-in-law’s tongue. That’s what men are like, they’re like animals when it comes to the women they like.

If Cheng Jun knew that Tu Nan would use this analogy, he would probably send him directly out of Jia Cheng.

“So, it’s like that! Just in time, sister-in-law, would you like to drink tea? My friend brought a few good teas..

“There are four, let’s leave first!”

Tu Nan’s enthusiasm made Ruan Jiu Jiu overwhelmed. She hurriedly fled, leaving Tu Nan standing there, scratching his head in confusion: “That’s not right, sister-in-law, your office is here, where are you going?”

The little secretary behind him smiled and said, “Go to a quiet place. “

Tu Nan: “? Isn’t our Jia Cheng quiet enough?”

The secretary continued to smile: “Yes.”

Tu Nan:” …… ” He did not know why, but in the secretary’s beautiful pair of eyes, he vaguely noticed a bit of dislike.

Ruan Jiu Jiu used the excuse of going to the restroom to escape, she went around and came back.

Lao Meng, who hadn’t seen her for a long time, smiled, sat beside Ruan Jiu Jiu’s seat, and waited for her to return. As soon as she walked in, Lao Meng said enthusiastically: “Jiu Jiu! How was the Spring Festival?”

Ruan Jiu Jiu first cautiously observed left and right, and when she found that Tu Nan was not around, she was relieved: “Thank gwod (Thank god).”

Lao Meng: “? What’s wrong with you?”

Today, Ruan Jiu Jiu was very exhausted in explaining about her mouth ulcers for the Nth time.

After Lao Meng learned about the situation, he thoughtfully let Ruan Jiu Jiu sit in her seat.

At this time, Ruan Jiu Jiu saw Lao Meng’s black circle, but his eye sockets were white. When he grinned, his big white teeth looked extremely brilliant, making Ruan Jiu Jiu almost laugh out loud.

“Where dhid you gwo to play (Where did you go to play)?”

“Hey, don’t mention it. We went on a trip to Hainan ^[2]Hainan – s an island province of China and the nation’s southernmost point. It’s known for its tropical climate, beach resorts, and forested, mountainous interior., your sister-in-law said that she wanted to get healthy wheat-colored skin, and she only told me after a whole day of sun exposure that she puts on sunscreen.” Speaking of this, Lao Meng burst into tears, “It’s too much. I put my hands on my belly, and I woke up with a white belly, and your sister-in-law almost laughed to death.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu *pfft* and could imagine the picture.

Lao Meng brought Hainan’s special products, and the fruit transported by plane was not cheap. Ruan Jiu Jiu was embarrassed to accept it but was stopped by Lao Meng for the reason that he didn’t bother to take it back if he didn’t want to bring it over with so much effort.

There were mangoes and coconuts, and a few boxes were stuffed full.

Lao Meng patted her shoulder: “Wait until your tongue is not sore anymore before eating, it’s okay, this thing can wait.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “…”

She doesn’t want to suffer from mouth ulcers again. It was so painful to the point of begging for life and death, and she’s suffering all the time. One was toothache, the other was tongue pain, coupled with the occasional severe menstruation pain. This was probably the most painful test of life in the world.

Because her mouth hurts when she opens it, Ruan Jiu Jiu didn’t want to talk, didn’t want to drink water nor even eat food, so she just sat motionless in a chair and was only drawing.

Drawing makes her happy.

About half an hour later, there was a beep from the phone. It was Cheng Jun’s message.

Cheng Jun: Come to my office.

Ruan Jiu Jiu: What?

Cheng Jun: Eat

Ruan Jiu Jiu: ? ? ?

She entered Cheng Jun’s office while being confused, thinking that Cheng Jun hadn’t eaten enough. When she woke up this morning, her tongue hurt so bad. Ruan Jiu Jiu was upset and didn’t prepare a meal, so she went to the company empty-handed. It was expected that Cheng Jun certainly did not like the company’s food, although Jia Cheng’s food was already well-known, and had been on several hot searches. It was said that the chefs he hired were all from various places.

Pushing the door open, Cheng Jun was sitting in front of his desk with a few boxes of meals on the table. There was light porridge, soft golden and silver steamed buns, and a small plate of refreshing side dishes.

Seeing Ruan Jiu Jiu come in, Cheng Jun opened the lunch box and said, “Eat, it will be cold after a while.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu was suddenly moved.

Cheng Jun would even prepare these things for her. It’s not easy. He had really grown up!

While drinking the porridge, Ruan Jiu Jiu silently said that she must return the favor to Cheng Jun by cooking him a big meal. Then Cheng Jun said slowly: “I had a big lunch at noon.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu: ” Ah?”

“It’s for free, pack it back if you don’t want to eat it.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu swallowed a mouthful of porridge and did not spit it out: “?!”

Cheng Jun immediately regained his desire to live: “Just kidding.”

“…If you kheep bweing nauhtee, I’ll wreally khill you (If u keep being naughty, I’ll really kill you.).”

“But the side dishes are really gifts.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “…”

Cheng Jun: “Ha. It’s still a joke.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu silently suppressed the urge to send him to heaven by hitting him.

Jokes are not funny! This meal really can’t be delicious!

Fortunately, Cheng Jun became a man, took out a box of medicines from the drawer when Ruan Jiu Jiu was drinking the porridge, slowly pulled out two pills, and took another cup of hot water to set aside. Ruan Jiu Jiu drank half of the porridge, her head in a straight line of sight, which force her to look up.

“What’s the matter?”

Cheng Jun asked seriously: “Is it delicious?”

“Whay, tho you whant to eath two? (Why do you want to eat too)?”

“Then, excuse me…” He surprisingly pulled out another spoon from the drawer.

Ruan Jiu Jiu: ! !!

B@lls@@@! That spoon sure is prepared in advance!

Ruan Jiu Jiu sternly refused to share a bowl with Cheng Jun. Their relationship was not that good that they could drink in the same bowl of porridge, so she asked him to behave himself. Cheng Jun took the spoon back silently and continued to quietly stare at Ruan Jiu Jiu drinking the porridge.

After drinking the porridge and taking the medicine, Ruan Jiu Jiu was about to leave when she was stopped by Cheng Jun.

“Are you busy at work?” he asked.

Ruan Jiu Jiu shook her head.

“Then work here, and we can also see the new plan.”

“Okay.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when she thought that Tu Nan would visit her office again, she decided to stay here. The fact that Tu Nan was so clingy was really scary, and even Ruan Jiu Jiu can’t handle his talkativeness.

And so, the two sat facing each other, each doing their own work.

There was also a cup of strong tea on the desk, which was said to be good for mouth ulcers. Ruan Jiu Jiu started drinking tea after working for a while.

Cheng Jun sat opposite her at the office, in a state of seriousness that was rare in front of Ruan Jiu Jiu. For fear of disturbing him, Ruan Jiu Jiu even tried to keep the sound of drinking tea as low as possible.

Cheng Jun looked at the computer screen and was silent for a moment.

In Ruan Jiu Jiu’s bewildering line of sight, he moved his chair, sat next to Ruan Jiu Jiu, and turned his computer around.

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “What are you doing here?”

Cheng Jun calmly used the computer with his right hand, and his left hand directly held Ruan Jiu Jiu’s soft hand, holding it tightly: “Work.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “…”

It seems that this guy asked her to come to the office to work and to take advantage of her?

Ruan Jiu Jiu was about to shake it off when Cheng Jun looked at her and whispered, “Just for a moment.”

Those eyes were a little more pitiful.

Ruan Jiu Jiu was silent.

They agreed to be together and even already hugged. It was really unnecessary to be awkward about holding hands. She held the tea in one hand and sipped it, only feeling that Cheng Jun’s fingers were dry and slender, and there was a thin layer of calluses on his fingertips. He held her hand tightly as if he had finally caught a slippery fish in the river and was unwilling to let go.

Holding on, Ruan Jiu Jiu calmed down, put the tea aside, and continued to look at the computer.

“Boss? Boss, I’m here!”

With the sound of knocking on the door, Tu Nan pushed the door open.

Ruan Jiu Jiu was startled and flung his hand away subconsciously as if being caught committing adultery. The two of them were too close, and Ruan Jiu Jiu hit Cheng Jun with her body. Cheng Jun, who was working on his work, was unguarded, and he was knocked down with the chair.

As soon as Tu Nan entered the door, he saw his boss being pushed to the ground by his sister-in-law, and bam, how miserable it was.

He was stunned for a long time before he stammered and whispered: “Domestic, domestic violence?”

(Watch the conversation)

The author has something to say: Tu Nan: Domestic violence is bad!
