After Mr. Pei Marries An Overweight Lady

"Xu Xiaoen."

"Is there something wrong with Lawyer Cheng?" Xu Xiaoen was cleaning up in the kitchen when she heard the man suddenly call her name and hurriedly put her head out of the dining table to ask.

"Sit down and eat." Cheng Hanyu looked at Xu Xiaoen as he spoke, giving people an invisible pressure.

Xu Xiaoen's words of rejection were already on his lips, but he finally wiped his hands, took a pair of bowls and chopsticks and sat down at the dining table.

Seeing this, Cheng Hanyu gave Jiji a piece of meat and started eating again.

Xu Xiaoen secretly glanced at the man, then at her daughter, and lowered her head to eat. She was not used to eating at the same table as Cheng Hanyu, and she was extremely nervous every time.

Jiji was the only one who enjoyed tonight's meal.

After it was over, Xia Qing put away the dishes, while Jiji told Cheng Hanyu what he had seen and heard in the nursery today. The little girl stuttered smartly, thought clearly, and had a sweet voice. Cheng Hanyu listened carefully and occasionally asked questions, and the little girl got better. They were so happy, but it was already eight o'clock when they had dinner tonight, and it was only nine o'clock that Jiji's biological clock started, and she gradually became silent as she talked.

Cheng Hanyu looked at the little girl who was leaning on the sofa and breathing evenly. He carefully laid her down and covered her with a thin blanket. When he saw Xu Xiaoen had packed up the kitchen and came over, she thanked him in a low voice, "Excuse me, Lawyer Cheng. I Now carry Jiji over there.”

"I'll do it." Cheng Hanyu said, putting Jiji's coat on the thin blanket, wrapping the little girl's entire body, putting on the thick hat, and then picked up Jiji.

Xu Xiaoen didn't even have a chance to refuse, so she could only shout to the man when he was leaving, "Lawyer Cheng, take your coat."

Cheng Hanyu lowered his head and glanced at Jiji in his arms, "Help me put it on."

Xu Xiaoen was stunned for a moment, then saw the man's condition. Without thinking, he took the coat and put it on Cheng Hanyu. After thinking about it, he washed and dried her and put it back on Cheng Hanyu's scarf. However, she was a little short compared to Cheng Hanyu. , could only stand on tiptoes, fearing to wake up Jiji in front of him, so he didn't dare to move too much, but he didn't know that he couldn't stand firmly at the last moment and bumped into Cheng Hanyu's back. Looking back, I muttered to myself, "How tall is this? You don't even know how to bend down."

As a result, the man in front seemed to sense her emotions and turned around just in time to take in all her expressions. He hurriedly put on his coat, put it on himself, and followed him with small steps.

There is no snow tonight, but it is really cold in Yanjing in January. Xu Xiaoen was caught and her eyes were red. She looked aggrieved and pitiful. Cheng Hanyu's heart trembled slightly, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Xu Xiaoen waved his hands in embarrassment, "Let's go quickly."

After saying that, she came out of the villa first, but her cheeks hurt from being hit by the north wind. She quickly wrapped her coat tightly and trotted to open the door.

Cheng Hanyu walked behind Xu Xiaoen. Although his steps were steady, he was not slow at all. When Xu Xiaoen opened the door, he followed in and put Jiji into the bedroom.

Xu Xiaoen hurriedly thanked Cheng Hanyu, went to the bathroom to get hot water, and wiped Jiji's face, hands and feet. After finishing, she turned around and found that the man had not left, looking slightly surprised, "Cheng...Lawyer Cheng?"

"Yeah." Cheng Hanyu hummed and looked at the person in front of him.

Xu Xiaoen didn't understand why Cheng Hanyu didn't leave, and when he was looked at like this, he felt like his soul was being penetrated, and he was so cramped that he had nowhere to put his hands and feet, "You...do you have anything else to do?"

Cheng Hanyu still didn't speak. He had long noticed that this woman would stumble when she was nervous. He used to think that she was nervous, but now he realized that this was all because of a guilty conscience.

After waiting for a long time, Xu Xiaoen didn't get Cheng Hanyu's answer. Instead, the atmosphere in the room became even weirder. Her uneasiness rose sharply, and she secretly suspected that she had exposed something? Or did he discover something?

As soon as this idea came up, Xu Xiaoen felt guilty. He watched the man's heartbeat gradually speeding up, but he tried his best to restrain his urge to confess because Cheng Hanyu's aura was overwhelming. He dug his fingernails into his palm and urged him in a calm tone, "It's getting late, Lawyer Cheng, please take a rest early."

Cheng Hanyu didn't expect that Xu Xiaoen could urge him after he deliberately released the pressure. He frowned slightly, but his black eyes caught a glimpse of the woman's tight wrist lines and clenched hands. There was something he didn't understand in his heart, and he suddenly caught him by surprise. asked, "Who is Gigi's father?"

boom!

As soon as Cheng Hanyu's words came out, Xu Xiaoen felt as if he was struck by lightning. There was a bang in his head. He looked at the man in front of him with wide eyes, and then a terrible thought came to his mind. He knew, he knew...

How can it be!

His body was trembling slightly uncontrollably, but he tried his best to calm down his emotions. After a while, he smiled uglier than crying, "Lawyer Cheng, how...why did you ask this question?"

She tried hard, but her voice was still shaking.

Cheng Hanyu suddenly felt unbearable when he saw her like this, and the pressure on him faded away, "Jiji is very smart. Although she is sensible, she also needs her father."

"I... that... I know, but my first love is already married and has our own life. Jiji and I are fine as we are now. If I meet someone who is suitable and loves Jiji in the future, I will consider it." Xu Xiaoen heard this. Only then did she realize that Cheng Hanyu was only concerned about Jiji and had not discovered anything. He gradually spoke more eloquently, but deliberately stated that the child belonged to her first boyfriend.

If Cheng Hanyu had only guessed that Xu Xiaoen wanted to hide it from him before, then at this moment he was completely sure and certain that this woman did not intend to let Jiji recognize him from the beginning to the end.

Ah!

She mentally sneered, feeling that her softness just now was ridiculous, and this woman had no intention of admitting it.

"Really?" Cheng Hanyu responded sarcastically.

Xu Xiaoen's mood was up and down, and she was too nervous, so she didn't hear the sarcasm in Cheng Hanyu's words, and she nodded sharply and said yes several times.

Cheng Hanyu looked at her deeply, turned and left.

As soon as the people left, Xu Xiaoen instantly collapsed on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time. The fear in his heart became stronger and stronger, and he even had the urge to escape from here immediately.

But as her rationality gradually returned, Xu Xiaoen found that she couldn't.

Three thousand a month is not much, but it is enough for her and Jiji's living expenses, so that she can save all her salary to send Jiji to school, and today Jiji went to the nursery on the property, the environment is very good, Jiji I am very happy to come back today. The most important thing is that the community has its own kindergarten. Today, the property manager took the initiative to talk to her. Jiji can go to kindergarten here in the spring. The tuition fee is 8,000 a month according to the standards of the park owner.

Compared with other kindergartens that Jiji has attended, this so-called discount is actually higher than the annual fee of the previous kindergarten.

But the environment and educational resources are top-notch. Jiji can enter such a kindergarten all because of Cheng Hanyu. As for the monthly fee of 8,000 yuan, she can't afford it, but where will she go if she leaves them?

In the past few years, she has been moving around the city, or running away, and Jiji has been forced to endure hardships with her. Finally, their mother and daughter's lives have improved a little. Do they really want to leave?

The more Xu Xiaoen thought about it, the sadder she became, feeling useless.

She was afraid that Cheng Hanyu would know the truth and snatch away Jiji, but he would not be able to give Jiji a better environment. The greatest sorrow for a person is probably to discover his own incompetence.

Sitting on the ground, Xu Xiaoen didn't want to cry, but her tears fell uncontrollably, especially when she thought that if the Cheng family found out the truth and took away Jiji... she shed more and more tears.

The next day.

Last night passed by all night long, but at six o'clock Xu Xiaoen still got up early to make breakfast for Cheng Hanyu.

After calming down last night, she wanted to understand many things. She could no longer escape for Jiji. If Cheng Hanyu really found out that Jiji was his child one day, she should face it bravely, even if she had almost no chance of it under her current conditions. What odds.

But it’s better than running away, right?

But in the final analysis, she still took a chance and hoped that Cheng Hanyu would not find out. When their employment relationship ended and they no longer interacted, she would no longer have to worry.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiaoen tried his best to act as normal as possible. In the morning, he made Shaomai, vegetable pancakes, seaweed egg soup and a vegetable salad for the man. After thinking about it, he was worried that it would not be enough, so he made three more rice dishes from last night. The meat-and-vegetarian rice balls are specially fried to a golden color on the surface.

Cheng Hanyu came down from the shower after exercising. Breakfast was already prepared. He glanced at the breakfast and then at the woman who was busy in the kitchen with her head down. "Jiji will be waiting for me at the door after sending her off."

"There's no need for Lawyer Cheng, I can go to the office by myself..."

"I'll give it to you. You can make me an extra lunch in the morning." Cheng Hanyu directly interrupted Xu Xiaoen's refusal.

While Xu Xiaoen was resisting mentally, she was doing a quick calculation in her mind. She wanted to make an extra lunch for the man. There was no need to provide any materials. It was just a waste of time, but it could save the six yuan for the morning fare. After deducting the weekends, there would be enough left over for a month. It costs less than one hundred and fifty, and I don’t know who purchased this man’s refrigerator. Every time I buy it, I buy a box. If it can’t be eaten, it will spoil. Adhering to the principle of not wasting food, she can sometimes make do with leftovers to save money. This way, she can also save some money on breakfast and dinner, and she can also bring her own lunch to cook together, instead of making it the night in advance, as the taste will be much different every time it is overnight...

In this way, Lawyer Cheng's proposal is really good, and the remaining money can be saved for Jiji's tuition.

Cheng Hanyu saw that Xu Xiaoen had been silent, thinking that the woman was unwilling. He looked up and saw that she was talking to herself. She raised her hands in front of her eyes to count and didn't know what she was doing. He frowned lightly and said, "What are you thinking about?"

"Calculate the accounts. Let me calculate how much money I can save if I do this." Xu Xiaoen thought too seriously and answered Cheng Hanyu's question without thinking.

Cheng Hanyu, "...so how much money can I save?"

"You can save a hundred and fifty on the fare!" Xu Xiaoen raised his head proudly and met the man's teasing gaze. He was immediately embarrassed, "Then I..."

"If I don't have any entertainment after get off work, I can give you a ride. How much can I save?" Cheng Hanyu ignored Xu Xiaoen's embarrassment and continued to ask.

Xu Xiaoen was embarrassed, "Um...three hundred."

"Oh, then send me a message in advance after get off work." Cheng Hanyu lowered his head and continued eating his breakfast.

Xu Xiaoen stood stiffly, not knowing how to deal with this for a moment, but looking at Cheng Hanyu's attitude, she knew that the other party did not give her a chance to refuse. After thinking about it, since the other party had treated her like this, she would also repay him. , "Um...Lawyer Cheng, there is something I have always wanted to tell you...no, you tell me."

Cheng Hanyu, who was eating, felt his heart tighten. What's going on? This woman was so moved by him that she suddenly realized her conscience and decided to tell him that Jiji was his daughter?

He tried to sound calm and said, "Go ahead."

When Xu Xiaoen heard this, she licked her dry lips nervously. She knew that what she was doing was wrong, but she couldn't bear not to do it. She gritted her teeth and said, "You should buy something else!"

Cheng Hanyu, who was ready to hear the woman's confession, said, "..."

How about purchasing something else?

Why does the topic come to purchasing? What purchase?

Cheng Hanyu felt confused for the first time and looked at the woman not far away whose face was red because of nervousness.

Xu Xiaoen also knew that it was not good for her to do this. It was tantamount to depriving others of their work and a form of blackmail, but she couldn't help it. She became even more embarrassed when she saw Cheng Hanyu's expression after speaking, "I know it is not good for me to do this, but really It's so wasteful. The ingredients added to your refrigerator every week are one-half more than what is normally required. Every time new and old items are added, they are disposed of. It is extremely wasteful. I did the calculations and calculated them according to the amount in your refrigerator. The price of ingredients means at least two thousand yuan will be wasted a week, which is about six thousand yuan a month. This is so unreasonable..."

And during the week of cooking, she discovered that as long as the fruits and vegetables in the man's refrigerator were more than three days old, they would be cleaned out regardless of whether they were good or bad. What a waste!

At the end, Xu Xiaoen looked heartbroken and angry.

She was poor herself, and she really couldn't bear to see others wasting food like this, especially since she was the one who cooked every day.

Cheng Hanyu was stunned for a long time after listening to the woman's ramblings. The food in his kitchen has always been arranged by his mother. Now it's okay to have Xu Xiaoen cooking. In the past, he often didn't come back, but his mother still asked people to fill the refrigerator every day. At that time, it was a waste More, he always didn't worry about this, but today he found out that he was wasting so much money in a month.

He wanted to laugh a little, but he also found the woman's indignant look particularly cute while settling accounts, and even dissipated the anger he felt just now when he discovered that the woman was not confessing to him.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Cheng Hanyu asked sincerely.

"You should talk to Procurement and stop letting him waste so much." Xu Xiaoen thought about it and felt that he couldn't cause others to lose their jobs.

"The servants at home are responsible for the food. It's useless if I tell you." Cheng Hanyu teased Xu Xiaoen.

When Xu Xiaoen heard this, he thought, ah, wasn't that arranged by Cheng's mother? Suddenly his cheeks turned red even more, knowing that he was really being nosy.

Cheng Hanyu looked at her reaction and raised his eyebrows, "How about this, you will arrange the purchasing here from now on, and then the salary..."

"No, no need!" Xu Xiaoen was anxious when she heard this. She had already received so many favors from men, how could she get another salary increase?

"Oh." Cheng Hanyu said oh and asked curiously, "Does it mean I don't have to change procurement or don't have to pay you a salary?"

"No, I can't ask for your salary."

"Does that mean you agree to do the purchasing? Yes. But you don't have to pay for it. You and Jiji will eat here together sooner or later. If it's inconvenient, take it back with you." Cheng Hanyu said slowly.

Xu Xiaoen's eyes widened, and she shook her head subconsciously to say that she didn't mean it. Then the man asked, "This way I can save six thousand a month, what about you?"
