In the days that followed, Chi Qiu was like in a dream.
Chi Lanyan had changed a lot; she was no longer as strong as before. She even easily agreed to let Chi Qiu move back to Lu Ming’s villa.
And the apology that Chi Qiu had prepared was actually useless. The gentleness of Chi Lanyan put him in a trance, and Chi Lanyan’s understanding also surprised him. He mistakenly thought it was Chi Lanyan’s excessive tolerance for him.
Chi Qiu held the apple that Chi Lanyan peeled for him and took a bite in a complicated mood.
Chi Lanyan’s fingertips were warm as she touched Chi Qiu’s ear and let out a long sigh: “I was in a bad mood that day, so you misunderstood. Xiao Qiu, actually I’m not angry with you, I’m just angry with myself.”
Chi Lanyan’s words were so euphemistic that Chi Qiu couldn’t fully understand it.
So, Chi Lanyan said: “Lin Yuming’s matter, you leave it to me. You can rest assured that I will not be soft this time. The evidence is solid, he can’t get away. You can go back to live with Lu Ming. Lu Ming is right, you and Chi Xia…it’ll be better to not meet each other for the time being.”
“Mom?”
“I’ll take care of it all, you’ll never have to worry about it again.” She tucked a strand of Chi Qiu’s hair behind his ear, straightened his slightly longer hair. She thought for a moment: “I can see that you still care about Lu Ming in your heart. Since you like him, don’t worry too much.”
The apple in Chi Qiu’s hand almost fell off his leg; he was caught off guard: “Mom, I, I didn’t.”
“No?” Chi Lanyan couldn’t believe it.
Even the nurse was complimenting the two of them behind their backs, but this was called not having a relationship?
“I…haven’t decided to make up with Lu Ming. He lied to me before, I’m still angry.” Chi Qiu bit his lower lip. His ears were red when he coyly said: “I, I just think, everything should be given a chance. You can’t just beat someone to death with a stick, right?”
His eyes, although couldn’t see, seemed to be shining at this moment.
For the first time, Chi Lanyan saw Chi Qiu’s face reddened and shy to the point of stammering.
She couldn’t help laughing: “Yes.”
Chi Qiu felt a little guilty when he heard Chi Lanyan’s laughter. He thought about it and didn’t want to hide anything from Chi Lanyan anymore. He felt that he should tell Chi Lanyan about Lu Ming’s meddling with Chi Xia and Jin Chengjun.
It was just that he was in a dilemma and couldn’t find a suitable time. It was too difficult to break the harmonious scene.
Who knew Chi Lanyan instantly saw through his worries: “Xiao Qiu, are you worried about Lu Ming meddling in the matter of Chi Xia running away from home?”
Chi Qiu paused for a while, then nodded his head in disbelief: “Mom, you know?” He wanted to defend Lu Ming with a few words. He already drafted everything in his heart.
But Chi Lanyan took the lead and said: “If I say I’m not angry about this matter, it must be a lie. But I thought about it for a while and I think that it’s not Lu Ming’s fault. You know, I was so against Xiao Xia and Jin Chengjun being together at the beginning because I knew what kind of character she is. It’s true that Lu Yinliang can’t get along with her, but she definitely shouldn’t choose Jin Chengjun.”
Chi Lanyan’s thoughts and Chi Qiu’s thoughts, even if there were some differences, but roughly they were the same.
“A marriage with the wrong family will be fresh at first, but it will be different after a while. Her temperament is different from yours, she regrets too easily and is too easily angered by others.”
In the end, it was Chi Lanyan who spoiled her.
Although the Ji family had concealed this, Chi Lanyan wasn’t easy to fool. After a long time, she found out about it. It was only after she learned what Lu Ming had done that she realized how absurd and ignorant her daughter was.
In this matter, no one was a victim. The fact that Chi Xia clearly knew, but still insisted on making such a choice, no one else could be blamed for this
Chi Lanyan pretended to not know about this because she misunderstood that Chi Qiu didn’t want to mention this matter. She originally thought there should be other misunderstandings that caused Chi Qiu and Lu Ming to separate. Now it seemed that Chi Qiu had already untied the knot in his heart and made a good plan.
Since this was the case, she respected Chi Qiu’s choice.
After she finished speaking, she moved towards the outside of the ward and shouted rather tonelessly: “Have you heard enough?”
Chi Qiu ‘looked’ in the direction of the door in surprise. Within three seconds, Lu Ming opened the door from the outside. He was carrying a thermos flask and two lunch boxes in his hand.
Lu Ming lightly coughed and called in a proper manner: “Mom.” He lifted the food in his hand, “Auntie Zhang prepared it, it’s the pork rib soup that Chi Qiu wanted to drink. I went back and brought it.”
Chi Qiu seemed to smell the rib soup and his hunger rose. His stomach growled indisputably, causing both Chi Lanyan and Lu Ming to be speechless.
“My wound doesn’t hurt today, so my appetite is better.” Chi Qiu embarrassingly scratched the tip of his nose and accidentally touched his bruise, turning his face pale in pain.
Lu Ming hurriedly put down the things in his hand and came to help Chi Qiu check them. He was extremely careful.
Chi Lanyan was curious about Lu Ming’s change, but she didn’t ask more questions. In any case, since Lu Ming’s change was for Chi Qiu, then she thought there was no problem.
She saw Chi Qiu pursed his lips and obediently tilted his head to show Lu Ming his face. And, naturally, one of his hands also grabbed Lu Ming’s sleeve.
Chi Lanyan’s heart was at ease as she patted her pants. She got up and glanced at the rainy weather outside the window.
On her mobile phone, Chi Xia’s five missed calls were displayed. She hung up the sixth one and said: “I have things to take care of, I’ll come back tomorrow to go through the discharge procedures.” She turned around and entrusted Chi Qiu to him, seemingly serious: “Lu Ming, Xiao Qiu will trouble you.”
Lu Ming nodded, “Mom, I’ll see you off.”
“No need.” Chi Lanyan pushed away Lu Ming’s polite words and pointed to her son who was waiting to eat: “Hurry up and eat, you’ve been coming and going for a really long time. Xiao Qiu is starving. I said just order takeaway, but he wouldn’t let me. He insisted on waiting for you. ”
Chi Lanyan said it on purpose, making Chi Qiu’s neck turn red.
Lu Ming’s mouth turned up when he heard it; he couldn’t stop looking at Chi Qiu several times, feeling excited in his heart.
After Chi Lanyan left, Lu Ming opened the lunch boxes one by one and poured another bowl of pork ribs soup for Chi Qiu. Chi Qiu smelled the real fragrance and couldn’t wait to eat it.
Lu Ming scooped up a spoonful of soup before he handed it over to Chi Qiu first. Chi Qiu sipped his spoon and said: “So good, Auntie Zhang’s pork ribs soup is the best!”
“Be careful, you’ll be scalded.” Lu Ming blew the soup one spoonful after another.
Chi Qiu touched the warm lunch box: “The lunch box is filled with fried beef? Smells good too, what’s the other one, smells sour?”
Lu Ming sent another spoonful of soup into his mouth and pushed the two lunch boxes closer to Chi Qiu, letting Chi Qiu eat them.
“The box on the left is fried beef tenderloin with veggies, and the one on the right is sweet and sour pork with pineapple.” Lu Ming asked, “Do you want rice?”
Chi Qiu chucked a bite of beef tenderloin into his mouth and the tender gravy hit his taste buds. In front of the gourmet food made by Auntie Zhang, Chi Qiu smiled happily and nodded, “Yes.”
Lu Ming then opened the small box under the soup pot for him, which contained a box full of rice. He handed the spoon to Chi Qiu: “Eat with the spoon, I’ll give you the dishes.”
“Have you eaten?” Chi Qiu asked while scooping up a bit of rice with the spoon.
Lu Ming put a piece of sweet and sour pork on the rice and replied in a warm voice, “I ate at home.” He didn’t tell Chi Qiu that he had casually taken two bites of rice before coming. If Chi Qiu could see, he should be able to see that Lu Ming had lost a lot of weight in the past two days.
Fortunately, the relationship between Chi Qiu and Lu Ming had eased, which made Lu Ming sleep a little more at ease at night, so his complexion was much better.
When Lu Ming saw Chi Qiu eating with a bulging mouth, spoonful after spoonful of sweet and sour meat, he reached out and wiped the sauce on the corner of Chi Qiu’s mouth and laughed: “Is sweet and sour pork so delicious? ”
“It’s delicious.” Chi Qiu was confused. He suddenly picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece randomly, “Did you not eat this? Try it, it’s really delicious.”
As soon as he finished, he immediately reacted.
They hadn’t really made up…
Chi Qiu panicked and pretended to take back the chopsticks. However, Lu Ming’s eyes were quick, not giving Chi Qiu time to regret. He grabbed Chi Qiu’s wrist and bit off the sweet and sour pork on the chopsticks.
Lu Ming chewed, swallowed, and said contentedly: “Auntie Zhang’s cooking skills have improved, it’s time to give her a pay rise.”
The two men knew in their hearts that this sweet and sour pork was the key to a salary increase.
However, before Auntie Zhang’s salary was raised, Chi Qiu’s face turned red first. He really felt that after recovering his memory, Lu Ming had become shameless, even more exaggerated than when he was seventeen year-old.
But the only way for Lu Ming to be shameless was for him to give Lu Ming the opportunity first. Therefore, Chi Qiu couldn’t complain.
Seeing his blushing face, Lu Ming stopped teasing him and put the sweet and sour pork into Chi Qiu’s spoon, “Eat it, if you like it, I’ll ask Auntie Zhang to make it again tonight.”
“Auntie Su will send food tonight.”
“Then tomorrow.”
Chi Qiu’s cheeks were round, and the sweet and sour sauce overflowed his mouth. Right now, even his heart was sweet. He lowered his head and swallowed what was in his mouth, “I haven’t eaten fish with scallion oil for a long time.”
He actually started to order the food.
Lu Ming immediately felt a sense of returning home, he hurriedly said, “All of them.” Once he finished, he smiled, “All you like to eat, all of them.”
Tomorrow, they would be going home for dinner.
…………
The next morning.
In the corridor of the hospital, an elegantly dressed male took off his sunglasses. He was a beautiful-looking man, with a natural beauty and a noble aura emanating from his hands and feet.
Holding a bouquet of flowers, he walked up to the desk and asked the nurse, “Hello, which ward is Mr. Wang Guirong in?”
Thinking he was some kind of celebrity, the nurse asked with unblinking eyes: “What is your relationship with the patient?”
“Partner at work.” He was not sure about the process in domestic hospitals and took out his ID card directly, “My name is Xia Zhiyan, you can check with him.”
The nurse only asked him to do a simple registration and then informed the ward number.
Xia Zhiyan thanked the nurse and went to the ward on the left, looking for the ward number.
He found his way to Wang Guirong’s ward and knocked politely on the door.
When he went in, Wang Guirong was surprised: “Why is Mr. Xia here?” He smiled with a polite smile, “Didn’t I tell you? It’s only a minor surgery, there’s no need to visit.”
Xia Zhiyan glanced at the fruit on the table and smiled: “Mr. Wang, I came here as soon as I got off the plane. I was in a hurry so I only brought flowers. I hope you don’t mind.”
The author has something to say:
Xia Zhiyan is to enhance feelings, so don’t worry too much.
