Meal Sweet Home: Farm Lady

Chapter 97

He Chenyi would go out of the house early in the morning to watch the family's business with his father or brothers, usually half a day would be enough, and occasionally the afternoon would be taken up when he was particularly busy.

He Chenyi is not like his other brothers, sometimes he enjoys lunch in the restaurant outside.As long as he has time, he will return to the house for dinner.

This was appreciated by his father, who felt that he was a man who was good at business management and cared for his family very much.

After lunch today, I took a nap.Na Hua Zhu came to He Chenyi's side with a mung bean cake in person. Nan Yan taught her how to make this mung bean cake, and it was very useful.

"Husband, let's have some dessert after dinner! I made this with my own hands, so don't spoil people's interest!" Nan Yan said coquettishly.

He Chenyi was reading a book and drinking tea, when he saw that Hua Zhu was intentionally bringing a plate of desserts, he picked one up from the plate with a smile and put it in his mouth.

"Hmm... It tastes good, sweet but not greasy, with the taste of mung bean paste, very thin and smooth. This should be the best mung bean cake I've ever eaten!" He Chenyi praised it after tasting it.

Huazhu saw that He Chenyi was very satisfied, so she boasted unrealistically, "Really? I am so happy to be praised by my husband, Huazhu. I taught Nanyan the mung bean cake that she sells on the street!"

He Chenyi didn't take it seriously, nodded his head, and continued to read with his head down.

"Husband, it's noon, and you just finished your lunch, why don't you lie on the bed and rest for a while, to refresh yourself." After speaking, Hua Zhu went to undo He Chenyi's coat involuntarily.

He Chenyi hurriedly pushed away Hua Zhu's hand, and straightened his clothes again, "I'm not in the habit of taking a nap, and I have to go out later, my lady, go and rest."

"Are you still going out? Didn't you take care of your business in the morning?" Hua Zhu asked.

"Oh, it's a personal matter!" He Chenyi responded casually.

"What personal matter is so important that you have to go out at noon?" Huazhu said in a slightly angry tone.

At this time, He Chenyi noticed the change in Hua Zhu's face, put down the book in his hand, looked up at Hua Zhu, "I have something to do, don't I need to report it to you one by one?"

This is how to say that He Chenyi is also the head of the family, why should he report to her instead?

"No, that's not what I meant..." Hua Zhu panicked immediately, for fear that He Chenyi would dislike her, "What I mean is... Ever since I married in He Fu, you haven't spent a day with me at home, even night……"

Yes, ever since Hua Zhu came in, He Chenyi always had various busy things to go out, and he didn't sleep together at night, naturally he was like a stranger, which made Hua Zhu feel very uncomfortable.

"Hehe... Miss, you're thinking too much! I'm really busy these days, with a lot of things to do. When I have some free time in the future, I will definitely find time to spend time with my lady." He Chenyi prevaricated.

"But...why don't you want to share the bed with me at night?" This is a question that Huazhu has been holding back in her heart, and it is difficult to ask.

He Chenyi was a little at a loss for words, but he smiled and said: "Before you came here, I was like this. I like to read in the study at night, and I fall asleep in the study when I get tired. It has nothing to do with you. Madam, please don't worry !"

Huazhu thought to herself, you are obviously lying to me!Hua Zhu had already been carrying He Chenyi's back, and learned from the servants who usually served him that He Chenyi would go back to his room to rest every night no matter how late, and would never sleep in the study.

But in order not to tear her face, Hua Zhu had no choice but to keep it in her heart and pretend to be stupid.

"My husband went out this afternoon for a personal matter...is it because of Nan Yan's opening of the restaurant?" Hua Zhu asked.

"Oh? You heard? Yes, it's for this matter." He Chenyi replied truthfully.

Huazhu turned her back on He Chenyi and smiled, "I heard it from the six sons around you. I didn't expect that I just mentioned it casually that night, and you remembered it in your heart, and soon put it into action."

He Chenyi smiled softly, "Yeah, aren't you and Nan Yan good sisters? Naturally, I want to help her. Besides, before I met you, I have already been good friends with her, so I have to help her with this favor." .”

"Yeah, helping her is as simple as plucking a hair from a cow's body, so it's okay to help." Huazhu said with a blank look again.

"You speak like you are very unwilling." He Chenyi said with a light smile.

"No way, I just didn't expect you, my husband, to be so caring, making Huazhu feel a little jealous in my heart!" Huazhu said pretentiously.

"You said that you just mentioned the wedding night in your bridal chamber casually? Could it be that you didn't mean to help her sincerely?" He Chenyi kicked the ball to Hua Zhu in turn.

"I... of course I'm not sincere. I just feel that this matter was carried out a little hastily, and it's better to have a long-term plan." Hua Zhu was almost hit by a kick kicked back by He Chenyi, speechless.

"Didn't you say that? I helped her just by pulling out the hair on the cow. What needs to be considered in the long-term when it comes to pulling out the hair?"

As soon as these words came out, Huazhu on the side was completely speechless, really didn't know what to say.

"Husband, tell me the truth..."

"tell you what?"

Hua Zhu pondered for a long time, and finally asked, "Do... you like Nan Yan?"

He Chenyi took a sip of tea to his lips, but his hands stopped for a moment.Although this smiling movement was quick, Hua Zhu really saw it in his eyes.

"I told you, we are just friends!" He Chenyi wrote lightly.

"It's not that simple, is it?" Hua Zhu was still asking tentatively, "You are always so concerned about her affairs! I heard that Xiangmei often said that Nan Yan used to be in danger, and you would appear by her side in time. ..."

In the beginning, Xiangmei told her all kinds of good relationships with Nanyan as stories in order to be charming.

He Chenyi smiled, and said: "It was just that I saw it on the way, so I stepped forward to help. Why, did you bring this pastry to me today, just to question me?"

"No, no, husband, you are thinking too much!" Hua Zhu immediately put away her suspicious gaze, and became obedient as usual.

"Okay, it's time for me to go out, you should have a good rest!" He Chenyi got up and was about to walk out of the study.

Hua Zhu followed closely, and said, "You don't need to go out, I have already sent someone to invite Nan Yan and Mr. Qi to the house as guests."

He Chenyi stopped walking immediately when he heard the words, "You invited them to the house?"

"Yes, I regard Nan Yan and Mr. Qi as my relatives. I have been in He Mansion for so long, and I haven't had a good meeting with my 'natal family' to catch up with each other." Hua Zhu said.

"Oh, that's true! Then let them sit in the back garden of our residence, where the air is good and the flowers and plants are fresh!" He Chenyi suggested.

"Yes, yes, I have prepared cakes and tea!" Hua Zhu said with a smile.

How could Huazhu want to see her "natal family", she just wanted He Chenyi to spend more time with her at home.She already knew in her heart that He Chenyi liked Nan Yan, and instead of letting them have a private meeting outside, it would be better to watch them under her own nose at the house.

At the invitation of the servants sent by Hua Zhu, Nan Yan and Qi Yuhao came to He Mansion together.All the servants of the He Mansion are very polite to others, and they can be seen as highly educated servants.

Hua Zhu took Nan Yan's hand and led her to the back garden.He Chenyi and Qi Yuhao greeted each other and followed them.

"Yan'er, how is the preparation for opening the restaurant?" He Chenyi asked this matter immediately after opening his mouth. He is a person who likes to put the serious business first.

Nan Yan looked back and smiled, and replied: "The ship has already started to be built, and the helper and the waiter have also been recruited. The next step is to prepare some better kitchen utensils."

"Okay, okay, the efficiency is quite high." He Chenyi praised with a smile.

"Thanks to Mr. Qi's daily help, otherwise I wouldn't have made the preparations so smoothly." Nan Yan did not forget to mention Qi Yuhao.

"Really? Mr. Qi has worked hard these days!" He Chenyi said with a smile.

Qi Yuhao waved his hand to show humility, so he didn't say much.

They came to the foot of the rockery in the back garden.

"Let's go and sit in the gazebo above, I have prepared snacks and tea in the gazebo!" Huazhu said softly.

"Young lady is really careful! Alright, let's go up now!" He Chenyi said.

In front of outsiders, He Chenyi and Hua Zhu showed affection.

Hua Zhu and Nan Yan held hands intimately and walked in front.He Chenyi and Qi Yuhao followed behind talking and laughing.

"Ah, ah..." Hua Zhu wailed a few times, a shiny stone slipped under her feet, and the weight of her whole body fell on Nan Yan.

Nan Yan didn't pay attention, and also fell to the side.In order to maintain balance, he quickly moved a little under his legs, and his right leg just rubbed against the jagged raised stone next to him.

Seeing this, He Chenyi and Qi Yuhao hurried up to help him.It just happened the other way around, He Chenyi stepped forward to support Nan Yan, while Qi Yuhao's first reaction was to go up to support Hua Zhu.

If He Chenyi's first reaction was Fu Hua Zhu, then Nan Yan...isn't it a tragedy...

This embarrassing scene made the four present speechless.

"Miss, are you okay?" He Chenyi knew that he was in the wrong team just now, although he was supporting Nan Yan, he cared about Hua Zhu.

"I'm fine. Fortunately, Yan'er is blocking me." Hua Zhu was a little startled, and patted her heaving chest and said.

"Are you okay?" Qi Yuhao let go of Hua Zhu's hand and asked Nan Yan coldly.

"I, I'm fine." Nan Yan replied.

The four of them finally came to the gazebo on the top of the rockery, and sat down around the exquisitely carved stone table.

"Yan'er, your calf is bleeding!" He Chenyi's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he immediately noticed the faint blood oozing from the corner of Nan Yan's light white skirt.

"Ah, how could this happen? I don't feel anything!" Nan Yan really didn't realize that she was injured.
