Married for a long time

At noon, the clear sunshine slanted down from the clouds, dissipating some of the winter chill.

Ruan Fu turned to look at Su Li and another female colleague with whom she had a good relationship, "Su Li, Dandan, do you want to go out for lunch or order takeout?"

"I haven't seen Father Sun for a long time. I miss him so much. I have to go out to bask in the sun, otherwise he will get moldy." Qin Dandan slouched up and looked at Su Li, "Let's go, Su Li, go out to eat. "

"it is good."

Su Li did not refuse, and the three of them walked to the door of the company together.

In the elevator, I met another male colleague who was alone, and we called him together.

Since the first snowfall in Nandu, the sun has not risen for a long time. Even if it doesn't snow or rain, the sky is still gloomy.

As soon as the sun came out at noon, sure enough, there were many office workers outside, including many more people in the restaurant.

The four of us queued for about 10 minutes to eat, and waited for more than [-] minutes for food.

While chatting while waiting for the meal, Su Li's cell phone rang. It was Yu Qingyuan calling.

She stood up and said to them, "take a call," and went outside.

"Ah Li, are you off work?" As soon as the call was connected, Yu Qingyuan's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.

Just like the sun above her head, it warmed her heart, and she unconsciously smiled at the corners of her lips, "Well, it's time to get off work. Mom, have you eaten?"

"I just finished eating." Yu Qingyuan said with a smile, "Have you eaten?"

"Waiting for food."

"Eat well there by yourself, eat well."

"Well, I know."

"I haven't seen you for several months. I don't know if you've lost weight or something else, or if you've taken good care of yourself." Yu Qingyuan sighed as she spoke, "You're not at home, don't mention that damn girl Xiaoya. How annoying, no one can control her anymore, she just listens to you and your big brother."

Mentioning Qiao Peiyu, Su Li pursed her lower lip and said, "Brother will be fine after he goes back."

This was a disguised form of asking Yu Qingyuan to persuade Qiao Peiyu to go back.

"Your eldest brother, don't mention him, he is even more annoying." Yu Qingyuan started to complain mercilessly, "I called him in the morning and asked him when he would be back. The day after tomorrow we would have dinner with the Ling family. In the past few days, he would only try to keep me busy."

Dinner with the Ling family.

The days passed quite quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was time to have dinner with the Ling family.

Once this meal was eaten, the engagement was sealed.

Her heart suddenly hurt a little, and before she could recover, Yu Qingyuan's angry voice came over again, "It turns out that I don't want to accept his trick, but it would be better for him to come up with a decisive blow and say that next year's 30 will be his." If another big catastrophe is not passed smoothly, wouldn’t it mean that other girls will be delayed and we can wait until next year?”

"That's the truth, but I feel so bad when I hear it. When he was 18 years old, he suddenly fell into a coma, and later the doctor even issued a critical illness notice..."

Su Li knew about this matter.

That was her first year at Qiao's house.

That night, Qiao Peiyu suddenly vomited blood and fell to the ground, entering a state of shock. After being rescued, he was in a coma for another four or five days. On the fourth day, the doctor even issued a critical notice and asked his family members to be mentally prepared.

Qiao Yixing and Yu Qingyuan were frightened at that time, but fortunately they survived after him.

Next year will be the second great disaster that the fortune teller said.

They are all afraid that the shocking scene in the past will happen again.

The pain in her heart intensified. This pain was for Qiao Peiyu.

He didn't want to be engaged and married to the eldest lady of the Ling family. He used this fact as an excuse, which was indeed a bit sad.

"I'll let him go. Let's slow down the engagement for now. What he said makes sense." Yu Qingyuan added a bit of sadness to her words.

It is a mother who is worried and helpless about her child.

Su Li's heart ached even more, but she could only comfort her, "Mom, it's okay. Brother Jiren has his own destiny, and he will definitely be safe next year."

Yu Qingyuan laughed and said, "A'li is right. Now I can only talk to you about my own affairs at home. Xiaoya, that heartless person, says nothing."

"Next month, it's your grandpa's birthday. He is old and likes to be busy. Do you think you have time to come back? My parents haven't seen you for a while and miss you."

"In the past, you and Xiaoya were at home every day, and we saw each other every day, and we didn't think anything was wrong. Now you have gone to Nandu, and we rarely see each other. I always feel empty in my heart."

"I'm sorry, Mom..."

She bit her lip lightly and made a loud sound.

I felt even more sorry for them.

Perhaps because of Aiwujiwu, Yu Qingyuan's family members were also very kind to her, especially her grandfather, uncle and aunt, who were as kind to her as they were to Qiao Xiya.

"Silly boy, what's there to be sorry for?" Yu Qingyuan said with a smile, "When a child grows up, he will always leave his mother. It's normal for you to want to try outside. Although I still hope that you can come back and develop, but I also support your choice. In short, home will always be your retreat."

When Su Li returned after making the phone call, the meal had already been served.

Ruan Fu saw her eyes were red and asked with concern, "Su Li, what's wrong with you?"

"fine."

She shook her head slightly without explaining too much.

They didn't ask too much. This meal was a treat for a male colleague. On the way back to the company, Qin Dandan said he wanted to buy milk tea, so they went there together.

Su Li was a little embarrassed, so she insisted on paying the bill.

There was about 40 minutes of rest time left, and when Su Li was about to rest, he received a WeChat message from Qiao Peiyu.

Brother: Have you eaten?
She pursed her lips and typed back: I've eaten.

Big brother: What is the password for your door?

Her heart tightened, and she had just typed "What do you want to do?", but before she could send it, another message from Qiao Peiyu flashed over: I left your watch with you. I'll go pick it up when I'm free in the afternoon.

After hesitating for more than ten seconds, the message flashed out again: How about waiting for you to get it after get off work in the evening.

Waiting for her to get off work meant that he might come to pick her up and meet her.

Just thinking about what happened yesterday made her feel a little panicked and weak.

Almost without hesitation, she directly sent the door code: I have to work overtime at night, I don’t know until what time, you can get it yourself.

Big brother: OK.

After exiting the chat dialog box, Su Li took a deep breath, calmed down and took a nap.

After working overtime at nine o'clock in the evening, Su Li stopped by the supermarket on the way back and bought some ingredients, preparing to go back and make something to eat for dinner.

She ate snacks around four o'clock in the afternoon, so when they ate in the evening, she didn't eat.

Back in the apartment, as soon as the door opened, the lights inside were on.

I was so frightened that my first thought was that my home had been robbed.

But when she saw the men's leather shoes placed next to the shoe cabinet, her hanging heart relaxed again, but at the same time her brows also furrowed together.

She changed her shoes and walked in, feeling the warmth coming from all directions.

The air conditioner in the house is on.

Qiao Peiyu was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, with a laptop on his lap and some documents on the left and right sides.

It seems very busy.

"Why are you..."

Her serious and sullen voice stopped abruptly when she met his eyes. There was a rather eye-catching black suitcase in her peripheral vision that no one could ignore.

"You...this is..." You moved all your belongings in Nandu.

Suddenly, alarm bells rang in her heart.

"Borrow us for a few days."

Su Li thought her ears might be hallucinating, "What?"

"No...you can't stay in a nice hotel, but you can stay in me..."

"I'm going to stay in Nandu for a few more days. I'll feel more at ease if I have someone around me at night, otherwise I won't notice anything happening."

Excuse.

Same lame excuse as last night.

At noon, I asked her for the password to the front door and said she wanted to get a watch. It was probably an excuse because she just wanted to break into the house openly.

In terms of routines, she was no match for her and could only be defeated.

"Then just ask your assistant to live in the same room as you."

"I'm straight, sexually oriented female."

Su Li: "..."

"That's not what I meant. You... knew it clearly, but you insisted on misinterpreting my words." She was a little angry. She found that this man was acting rogue, and she really couldn't do anything about it.

She was not that cruel or hard-hearted to drive him out. Coupled with the suppressed emotions and heartache in her heart, she simply couldn't do it.

Qiao Peiyu's lips curled up and he noticed what she was carrying, "Going to the supermarket?"

Su Li stood there silently.

In front of him, she would occasionally lose her temper.

In fact, she was just sulking. Occasionally, Qiao Peiyu didn't notice it. After a few hours, she would figure it out and calm down.

To put it bluntly, it’s just to coax yourself.

Qiao Peiyu put down the laptop on his lap, stood up and walked to her, taking the shopping bag in her hand, "You haven't had dinner yet with the groceries you bought?"

"Ah."

"That's right, I didn't eat either." Qiao Peiyu walked to the kitchen, "I originally planned to wait for you to eat together after get off work."

Su Li: "..."

She bit her lip, thought for a while, and then followed her, "I don't have a place for you to sleep here."

"Why not?" Qiao Peiyu looked back at her with a smile in his eyes, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"no!"

What's better, she didn't sleep well at all last night.

Meeting his probing eyes, she couldn't help but explain, "No... it's not appropriate. We already..."

He suddenly grabbed her waist and pushed her into his arms. He bowed his body slightly, lowered his head and stared at her close at hand. When his sexy lips squirmed, they would brush against her lips intentionally or unintentionally.

Itchy.

"I know that you have said many times that you want to end the relationship with me, but..." His eyes narrowed slightly, and this time he pecked her lips clearly enough, "I didn't agree, Ah Li, I'll say it again Once again, I won’t agree to it.”

"you……"

"I will only stay for a few days and then go back. I don't know when we will meet next time. I can only wait until you return to S City to see me." His warm eyes were full of affection and a bit of expectation.

"I just want to stay with you these days. You definitely don't want to stay in a hotel with me, so I have to come."

"..."

Su Li didn't speak, and the two of them were in a stalemate for a while. Qiao Peiyu didn't let go of her, holding her tightly in his arms.

She has the attitude of not letting go if she doesn't agree.

His greatest advantage is probably his patience. Su Li can't compare to him, so he has to admit defeat and ask, "How many days will you stay?"

"It's like three or four days." He said with reason and sincerity. "I made some requests to the psychic cooperation. They will probably consider it for a few days and then go back after they get the contract."

Su Li pursed her lips and felt melancholy for a while. She was hungry and didn't want to continue the stalemate.

He said, "I'll sleep on the sofa that night."

"As soon as I come, I'll let you sleep on the sofa. It sounds like I'm quite inhuman." He chuckled, "If you really don't want to, that's okay. The air conditioner is on in the room, so it's not cold at all. I Just sleep on the sofa.”

"With the air conditioner on, the temperature in the room is no more than ten degrees Celsius, and the space is so big, it's still a bit cold after you fall asleep, especially in the early morning."

"Then what should I do? I don't want you to sleep on the sofa."

"..."

I suspect you are wooing me.

"I have two blankets, which should be fine. If it's still cold, I have a down jacket that can be covered with them. Let's make do with it for one night. I'll buy a quilt and bring it back tomorrow."

She won't be fooled, there are always more solutions than difficulties, right?

After saying that, she patted his hand and said, "Let me go. I'm hungry and I'm going to cook."

Qiao Peiyu chuckled helplessly, raised his hand and pinched her cheek, "I'll show you how smart you are."

Su Li secretly glanced at him, turned around and went to the kitchen to cook.

"do you need my help?"

"No, no need, just go out and wait. There's a lot of fumes in here and you can't smell it." She pushed his back and closed the kitchen door easily.

Su Qi worked very quickly. After cooking the rice, she took out the vegetables she bought, cut them and washed them, and packed the meat in bags.

Fortunately, she bought three days' worth of groceries today, otherwise there wouldn't be enough food for the uninvited guest from outside.

After being busy in the kitchen for about half an hour, I quickly prepared two dishes and one soup.

The portions are not too large, and she made them based on the food intake of the two of them.

They are all relatively light, including beef with celery, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and egg soup with wakame.

The meals she cooks are not as gorgeous as those in high-end restaurants, but they are still delicious and delicious, and all the dishes are made according to his taste first.

At the dinner table, the two of them were speechless, and Su Li just focused on eating.

She didn't eat much. She drank a bowl of soup and a bowl of rice and then put down her bowl and chopsticks.

"I'm going to take a shower first. You can put the dishes and chopsticks on the table after you're finished. I'll come out and collect them later."

"Ah."

This is how Qiao Peiyu should have responded.

But when she came out, not only the table, but also the kitchen was clean.

She was stunned for a moment, "I didn't mean..."

"I'm not that weak. I can still do the work of washing dishes and wiping tables." Qiao Peiyu smiled, "You cooked the food. It wouldn't be fair for you to wash the dishes again."

"You've been working for a day and you're tired. Go to bed early."

When it came to sleeping, Su Li looked a little embarrassed and her behavior became much more reserved. She said "oh". She was wearing pink bunny pajamas and standing under the warm yellow light, looking particularly well-behaved.

She also blinked and said, "I'll get you a blanket."
