Qu Cheng leaned on the back seat of the car, closed his eyes and rested his mind, and turned his fingers around a cigarette in his pocket unconsciously, listening to Ah Siâs report.
âBrother Xu sees Xuâs shareholdersâ meeting on Monday morning, goes to Qingyuan Farm to meet customers in the afternoon, and goes back to S city in the evening to supervise Xu Xinnian at the old house of Xuâs family, and by the way, give incense to Mr. Xu. On Tuesday morning, the new restaurant of Zhaoâs private kitchen opening was opened, he went to cut the ribbon, returned to HaoTing in the afternoon to meet President Li of Chunjiang Distillery, and played golf together in the evening, Wednesday morningâŠâ
âStop, stop.â Qu Cheng waved his hand and rubbed his aching temples. âYou tell me directly which day of the week does he have a rest?â
âOh, brother Cheng, wait a minute, Iâll take a look. Ah Si nodded respectfully, flipped through the notepad in his hand earnestly, turned over a dozen pages, then shook his head and said, âBrother Xuâs schedule is full this week, and there is no vacation.â
ââŠ..â Qu Chengâs face turned dark, the corners of his mouth twitched, but he didnât say a word.
He hadnât seen his peacock for two weeks in a row. Since he took charge of the Xu family again, the peacock has not only tried to find a way to raised huge sums of money to make up for his debts, and he also managed the business of dozens of branches in HaoTing, and even did not forget to take care of his farm and small restaurant, but he did not leave time for himself.
The bowels of regret are all green, and he wish he never handed HaoTing over to Xu Cinian. Originally, he hoped to rely on his wife to eat soft rice, but he didnât eat the soft rice and went directly to the cold palace to eat in prison.
God knows that he is now in addition to Every day he sits in the QingLong Gang, dealing with a bunch of trivial matters, and he has completely become a big idler. When he was busy like a dead dog every day, he always looked forward to being free to spend more time with Peacock. As a result, the time is now Yes, the peacock flew away.
The more Qu Cheng thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved, raised his eyebrows and glanced at the loyal Ah Si, and couldnât help but knocked on his head, âStinky boy, I let you follow Cinian, I asked you to help him share his worries. As a result, you were busy and didnât help, and his schedule was so full. Do you want to exhaust him?
Ah Si covered his head with an âouchâ, feeling extremely aggrieved, âBrother Cheng⊠You canât blame me⊠Big Brother Xu is a workaholic, itâs not like you donât know, even you are afraid of him, how dare I make irresponsible remarks?â
The younger brother exposed the essence of someoneâs fear of his wife, and someoneâs face couldnât be hung up immediately.
âWhy are you talking so much nonsense?â You want to be beaten again, right? Next time he has such a full schedule of work, you can block him in the office, call me directly, let me clean him up, and see if the house sparrow dares to be shy.â
ââŠYes.â Ah Si agreed, but he rolled his eyes silently in his heart, and couldnât help but complain: Brother Cheng, youâre just going to deal with outsiders. Are you willing to stand in front of Brother Xu? Also clean him up, heâs fine if he doesnât.
The master and the servant in the car were talking when there was a lively noise outside the window. Then the door to the kindergarten opened, and a large group of children rushed out with small schoolbags and flew into their parents arms one by one.
Qu Cheng raised his hand and looked at his watch, opened the car door and walked down. At a glance, he saw WoWo carrying a small yellow chicken schoolbag in the distance and came out with the children.
The little guy saw Qu Cheng from afar, his eyes lit up with joy, he shook his little meat arm, and ran over, âCheng Cheng!â
Qu Cheng bent over and picked him up in his arms, With the green stubble on his face, he rubbed the little guyâs face, âBaby, you have sharp eyes, you can see me at a glance.â
âBecause Chengcheng comes every day, and Wowo knows when he sees a car. Lah.â Wowo smiled and hugged his neck and rubbed his arms around his neck, feeling very naturally in Qu Chengâs suit pocket. Sure enough, he caught several pieces of fudge, all in the shape of his favorite bunny.
Ah Si next to him couldnât help laughing, and every time he saw Brother Cheng and Wowo getting together, he was very happy. ăăWowo is cute, but the boss is wearing a dark suit and a sturdy tall figure. No matter how you look at it, he looks domineering, but who would have thought that in order to coax his son, he would carry it in his pocket every day.
Just imagine, when a tough guy squinted his eyes to deal with the enemy, he slid into his pocket, and when everyone thought he would take out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, he actually took out a little rabbit gummy and stuffed it into his mouth, in an instantâŠthe image collapsed!
Sitting in the car, Wowo played with the plasticine that was made in the kindergarten, rubbing it into a round shape and a flat shape, and had a lot of fun playing with it.
Qu Cheng looked at the time, it was past eleven oâclock, he lowered his head and asked his son, âWowo, what do you want for lunch?â
Wowo didnât respond, and continued rubbing the plasticine in his hand seriously.
âLittle guy, what do you want to eat at noon? After I make an order, I will call your dad and ask him to come and eat together.â
WoWo still didnât speak, and carefully placed a rubbed round thing on the seat, take a little flesh-red mud and stick it with his chubby fingers.
Qu Cheng asked for a long time, but he didnât see any response. He couldnât help being interested in the things he was rubbing in his hands. He lowered his head and looked closer, and felt that the things the little guy kneaded looked really strange.
âWhatâs that?â
He suddenly leaned into the ear of Wowow and said, causing the little guy to startle, his round eyes widened, and even his little butt jumped, shaking the âworkâ on the seat. âIt trembled along with it, so frightened that he hurriedly protected it with his small paws.
âChengcheng you scare me.â
Qu Cheng saw his serious look, laughed, picked up his âworkâ behind him and looked at it carefully.
How should he put it⊠The baby boy still has the power to shape, but who can tell him what is a flesh-red egg with a long strap on it?
âWowo, what are you making?â
âItâs a pea, it will become so big and big, and then it will come out of Dadâs mouthâŠâ The more Wowo said, the smaller his voice became, and then he seemed to suddenly think of something. Not to mention.
â?â Qu Cheng heard in the fog, what beans, what became bigger, and what did these have to do with Cinian?
He didnât hear the last word. He wanted to ask more, but then he felt that what he was doing was serious with a three-year-old child. Originally, children of this age are full of strange things in their heads, maybe there is nothing else important.
âYou mean itâs a pea?â Qu Cheng took the little guyâs âmasterpieceâ and took a closer look. No matter how he looked, it looked like an egg.
âHmm, Chengcheng, does it look like pea?â Wowo nodded vigorously, his round eyes lit up.
Qu Cheng teased him deliberately, and turned around with âTadaaâ in his hand and said, âThe peas are obviously green, were you hungry when you squeezed this, wanted to eat eggs, and then accidentally made this one? What does it look like?â
WoWo was unhappy, his mouth flattened, âItâs obviously Doudou, itâs Doudou, I saw it with my own eyes.â
Qu Cheng was amused by his appearance, he held him on his knees, and rubbed the dimple on his head. âOkay, okay, you saw it, then tell me where you saw it, and let me see it too.â
âIn DadâsâŠâ Wowo almost blurted out, but suddenly the thought of Xu Cinianâs past appeared in his head. If he told Chengcheng about the âbig peaâ, Chengcheng would leave immediately, and he even pulled the hook and said that he would become a little fat man.
With a serious face, Wowo puffed out his cheeks, pouted his butt and indented into Qu Chengâs arms, âYou donât understand.â
Qu Cheng was amused by his appearance as a kid, leaning back and forth, and even Ah Si, who was driving in front, couldnât help laughing.
The car drove all the way, and Wowo finally decided to go to the sugar store and fried yam on Chengnan Street. Qu Cheng calculated that Xu Cinian would be free during lunch time, so he called him, and three or four calls came over. No one answered, which made him frown slightly.
âAh Si, do you give a lot of work to Cinian today? Do he have to be busy at noon?â
This stopped Ah Si. While waiting for the red light, he took out a notepad and flipped through it, only to find that Xu Cinian was busy in the morning. He have work in the afternoon, but there is no record at noon, âUh⊠Brother Cheng, I really donât know about this. Today, Brother Xu gave me a leave, so I donât know if he is busy at noon, maybe people talk a lot during meal time. He didnât hear it, try call him again.â
Qu Cheng nodded, didnât speak and lowered his head to send a text message to Xu Cinian, when he suddenly heard, âWow, Dad!â
WoWo suddenly shouted, which caused Qu Cheng to raise his head, and saw that the little guy climbed to the side from his lap at some point, and was now waving his paws at the window, his smiling eyes narrowed.
âDad, Iâm here, and Chengcheng is here!â
Wowo happily wanted to run out of the car, and almost opened the door, but fortunately, Qu Cheng hugged him, looked up and followed his gaze. Uncontrollably flickered a few times.
Across a layer of car window glass, there is a restaurant at the intersection of the street. At this time, Xu Cinian sat by the window, put down his teacup and glared at the man opposite, his ears were red, and he looked a little embarrassed.
The man across from him, wearing a gray suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, looked very handsome. When he saw Xu Cinianâs appearance, he laughed uncontrollably.
The silent, pantomime-like scene made Qu Cheng, who was sitting in the car at the moment, all see it, and his eyes sank a little.
He couldnât hear what the two were talking about, but he could see the happy atmosphere. He hadnât seen Xu Cinian for two weeks. Usually, because he was too busy, the two of them couldnât meet each other. They just talked on the phone in the middle of the night every day. Just a few words, Xu Cinian will hang up the phone looking very tired. From that, Qu Cheng deliberately set aside time today to tie this workaholic peacock home, but unexpectedly saw to this scene.
He donât know if this counts as revenge from Peacock for seeing him with Yue Zhao that day?
Qu Cheng felt a little lost in his heart, but nothing was revealed on his face.
Apparently, Ah Si also saw Xu Cinian, he stared out the window, then looked back at Qu Cheng, stammering for a while, âCheng⊠Brother Cheng, do you want to go down and find Brother Xu? Or call him again. Letâs try calling.â
Qu Cheng chuckled and shook his head, âNo, he is busy with work now, so maybe he is just out to talk business. For such a small matter, he went in to find someone, and it would be nonsense if he couldnât get off the stage. I canât do shit, and Iâm not a bitch. By the way, do you know the man across from him? Which company is he from?â
Ah Si shook his head, âI donât remember Big Brother Xu having such a client. He usually doesnât need me to follow him for a few days. How did I know that?â
As soon as he finished speaking, a milky voice suddenly âI know, Uncle Zhao is my fatherâs friend.â
âUncle Zhao? Do you know this person?â Qu Cheng was surprised.
Wowo nodded, âWell, Uncle Zhao said that he knew Dad very early, and he was fierce about Dad.â
Qu Chengâs face immediately became a little ugly, and he continued to ask, but what did Wowo say? Itâs not clear. This was the first time he had this kind of uneasy feeling. It was very subtle and not painful, but it poked at the flesh like a thorn, making him very uncomfortable.
Looking back at Xu Cinian who was talking to others outside the window, he finally pursed his lips and said,
âAh Si, letâs drive.â Ah Si raised his eyebrows in surprise, âBrother Cheng, are you really not going in?
âThere is no need to ask more.â Qu Cheng put his arms around WoWo, leaned back on the seat and closed his eyes, his face was indifferent, and he didnât see the slightest emotional ups and downs.
Of course, he has good taste, or he has a strong possessiveness, and it is almost impossible to allow others to look at Xu Cinian more, let alone someone who dares to laugh at him like this, or even dare to murder him. However, he trusts Xu Cinian incomparably, so he doesnât take others seriously at all.
At this time, the green light came on, and a horn sounded from the back of the car. Ah Si was slightly speechless and glanced at Qu Cheng behind the car.
The long queue of cars dispersed slowly, and the streets were full of traffic again. Xu Cinian slammed the teacup on the table, his face flushed, âZhao Rui, I thank you, if you just say these useless things, you donât need to invite me out!â
Zhao Rui took a sip of tea and said slowly, âHow can you call it useless? When you are almost three months old, you will have frequent urination, urgency increase, oh Yes, if you donât have this thing, then at least your nipple will become bigger and bulge, do you have it?â
Xu Cinian became angry, his face was red and white, if it wasnât because of the occasion, he was really prepared to give it to him. He punched Zhao Rui and said, âNo! Iâm a man, okay? Itâs impossible for these situations to happen in the public eyeâŠcan you stop talking about this?â
Zhao Rui couldnât help laughing, âWhy are you shy, Arenât you worried about your health? You are my key scientific research protection target now. I have to ask you carefully about your current situation. Whatâs more, you canât stand it anymore. You have to rely on your family to help you suck it out, do you understand that this is a cure, donât put those horny and yellow violent thoughts on me.â
Xu Cinianâs embarrassed face was almost dripping blood, and his chest was dripping blood. After heaving up and down a few times, he squeezed out a few words between his teeth, and growled, âI donât have anyâŠthen whatâŠthe big bastard!â
âYou donât? Poor WoWo isnât Breastfeeding, this is a big discovery, I have to write it down.â Zhao Rui raised his eyebrows in surprise, took out a notebook from his pocket, and began to write on it, âThe breast glands are not feminized, the body is completely male, has no production channels, and his later physiological characteristics are unknown.â
Xu Cinian stood up abruptly, and several guests around him looked up at him. The expression on his face was no longer embarrassing and shameful.
âEnough is enough, today I will treat you as if I havenât seen you at all Zhao Rui, you bastard, if it wasnât because you were still in use, I would definitely have someone drag you into a small dark alley to assassinate you, and seal you up there.â
The threat was squeezed from between his teeth, and only Zhao Rui could hear it in a low voice.
He smiled and waved his hands, held up his glasses, grabbed Xu Cinian who was about to turn around, and said with a smile, âIf you donât want to listen to this, forget it, itâs just a friend who told you kindly, you must be banned during this time, you donât want to slap blood when riding on your man, right?â
ââŠ..â Xu Cinianâs face turned green in an instant, his whole face froze, and he couldnât control his roar: This guy is so fucking unbeatable! Mouth stinky like this deserves a lifetime in the urology department!
Taking a steady breath, Xu Cinian was dizzy. He only felt that he would die of anger or embarrassment if he continued to talk to Zhao Rui, a âquack doctorâ. He looked back at him, and in Zhao Ruiâs laugh, he ran away out of the restaurant.
***
When he returned to the small courtyard, it was already dark. As soon as Xu Cinian opened the door, he could smell the aroma of the rice. He thought that Uncle Zhong must be showing off his cooking skills again, and his mood became a lot more cheerful.
âUncle Zhong, what are you doing? It smells so good.â
The whole yard was extremely quiet. Usually, if Uncle Zhong was cooking, Luo Xiaomao and Wowo would have been impatient to run out to watch, but at this time everything was quiet. , making Xu Cinian a little puzzled.
Following the scent, he opened the curtain and headed for the kitchen. At a glance, he saw Qu Cheng, who was bending over to adjust the heat.
He havenât seen each other for more than two weeks. Suddenly seeing this familiar figure made Xu Cinian unable to react for a moment. He was stunned on the spot, ââŠYou, why are you here?â
Qu Cheng turned around and shouted at him. With a smile, he continued to lower his head to cut vegetables, âI called you before, but you never answered, so I came right away. Whatâs the matter?â
Xu Cinian was stunned for a moment, and took out his phone to look at it before he realized it. The power has been out for a long time, and he didnât notice it until this time.
Shaking his head with a smile, he took out a charger from his bag and charge it, walked over to look at the chopping board where the food was already stacked, and immediately raised the corner of his mouth, âWhat can I do if youâre not welcome, youâve already come in, Iâm just feeling fresh, why did Boss Qu think of running to my house to be a cook?â
Qu Cheng tutted twice, glanced at him, leaned over and whispered, âDo you want to hear the truth, or a lie?â
Every time he made this expression, his deep eyes would become extraordinarily dark, and Xu Cinian liked it very much. At this time, he couldnât help reaching out to touch those eyes, but Qu Cheng grabbed them all at once, put them in his mouth and bit them, âCome on, whether you want to hear the truth or lie.â
Xu Cinian pulled out his fingers, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he said with a half-smile, âOf course itâs the truth, but Boss Qu has sworn to me that if he dares to lie again, it wonât be a problem of being tied to the bed for one night.â
Qu Cheng also laughed at the tormented punishment at Qingyuan Resort that night, and said in a low voice like a cello, âSince Boss Xu has said so, then I have to confess. The truth is⊠I think my daughter-in-law. Now, I donât know if my daughter-in-law wants me?â
When he said the last sound, his breath sprayed on Xu Cinianâs face, as if he was able to do magic, he went straight into the pores and brushed against Xu Cinianâs face.
The two of them hugged each other, and they havenât been this close for a long time. Xu Cinian heard his words, and his ears were a little red, âThen⊠what is the lie?â
âThe lie is that my hand is itchy, I want to show you a hand, let you can taste my craftsmanship.â
Qu Cheng said that he was decent, and he didnât forget to put on a plaid apron, but when he looked down at the results he cut, it was really uncomplimentable.
Xu Cinian looked at the meat and vegetables of different sizes cut on the chopping board, and couldnât help laughing. âYou are too embarrassed to show your skills? Boss Qu, chopping vegetables is not the same as chopping people. How can you eat such a waste?â
He reached out and untied the apron tie around Qu Chengâs waist, and pointed behind him. He said, âOkay, donât be too busy, leave it to me here, you can sit outside for a while.â
