Seventh Year of My Secret Love for You
Chapter 38:
It didn't show much on his face, but Rocky could sense that he should be pleasantly surprised.
"Okay. I'll make a reservation first if you want to eat." Jiang Shenghe had already picked up his phone.
"No. I invite you." Rocky repeated again: "I treat you today."
Jiang Shenghe put down the rolled-up shirt sleeves and smoothed them, "What time is it?" He picked up the cufflinks next to the computer and put them on.
Rocky: "Six o'clock?"
"Can."
Luo Qi took the project plan and left, and couldn't help but glance at the blessing he wrote while walking.
When she reached the door, she turned back, "There is one more thing."
Jiang Shenghe was wearing another cuff button, beckoning her to say.
"Professor Liang came to me today and asked me to recommend a designer. He said he wanted to renovate the house you bought in the old town of Sioux City."
It should be a garden-style villa, as Professor Liang said at the time with a garden.
"The designer she was looking for was my mother."
If it was before Luo Qi's birthday and his mother came to see her, he would still worry about whether her mother would embarrass her, but now there was no need to worry.
"My mother wants to decorate that villa?"
It's really a villa.
"Yeah. Professor Liang said that he is retired now, so he can live there when he is free."
Jiang Shenghe didn't hear from his mother about renovating the house before, but it is certain that even if his mother retires, she will not be free, and she will be re-employed again. She has classes every week, and is busy during winter and summer vacations, and has various activities.
He lightly said: "Last year in Sioux City, my mother knew who you were. She might want to use the decoration to walk around with Aunt Jiang to learn more. Let them do what the elders do."
Speaking from his mouth, it was commonplace, but Luo Qi knew that it would not be easy for Professor Liang to take the initiative to show his favor.
The word thank you has no weight, she didn't say anything, but kept it in her heart.
"Mr. Jiang, I'm going home on November, and I won't be with you during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"...I use you again."
"..." I want to say yours, it's too awkward.
When Luo Qi went out, Jiang Shenghe called his mother to ask what was going on.
Liang Zhen: "I really don't need the house in Sucheng, and I don't go there once in a few years. The decoration plan designed by Luo Qi's mother must be her favorite. Prepare first, and give it to Luo Qi and the others when they get engaged." Home."
If he and Luo Qi do not succeed, they will be sold after the decoration is completed.
"Mom, thank you."
"You don't need to thank me, didn't you say that, we work **** our own." Liang Zhen didn't say, be nice to your father, you are the one he worries about the most.
"Mom, when are you going to Sioux City?"
"October holiday, go after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Jiang Shenghe was silent for a few seconds, "I will go home for dinner during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I will go to Sucheng with you then."
When the time comes to see the house and discuss the design plan, he will accompany his mother, and Luo Qi will accompany Aunt Jiang, which can be regarded as seeing each other's parents.
Luo Qi cut out the scrap paper with the blessing written on it, left half of it, and stuffed it in the wallet.
In the past six months, I didn't necessarily open my wallet once. Since I became Jiang Shenghe's assistant, I open my wallet every day. In the past, there were only cards in the wallet, but now there are everything, such as notes, invoices, and flower cards.
At 5:30, the cousin sent a message asking her: [Sister, when will you be home? I will go to your place. 】
Luo Yu came back from her work report at the Shanghai headquarters and missed her cousin's birthday. She planned to make up for it tonight and cook a few dishes for her cousin.
I have already placed an order for ingredients online, and I will pick them up in a while.
Luo Qi had no choice but to lie: [I have dinner tonight, you can go there tomorrow night. 】
Luo Yu had just arrived in the elevator room, and before she had time to read her cousin's reply, a black shadow appeared out of the corner of her eye.
The next time I go out, I must read the almanac, and I can be blocked by him every time. It seems that he deliberately appeared on this floor at this time to find fault with her.
"Mr. He, what a coincidence."
"Unfortunately, I'm here to find you."
"...Isn't this going to be a bad thing?"
"yes."
"What do you want? You are not happy to be your girlfriend."
"I'm happy now."
"..."
He Xu looked at her with his hands in his pockets. If she had had a correct attitude from the beginning and apologized to him seriously, this matter would have been overturned long ago, but she didn't.
Luo Yu is just a little spring, it bounces double when it hits the bottom, last time He Xu made a gesture to kiss her, she was almost frightened, but now she is not afraid anymore.
To scare him today.
Luo Yu moved closer to him and pretended to kiss him.
He Xu knew that she just had to be stubborn, so she didn't dare to lend her courage.
"Do you think you can escape by going back to Shanghai?"
"Who is hiding, I'm going back to the meeting, okay?"
The lips of the two got closer and closer.
He Xu: "Don't play tricks, do you dare?"
"If I dare, this matter will be written off, do you dare to agree?"
He Xu snorted coldly.
In a second, she pressed his lips to his.
At that moment, Luo Yu's mind was blank, and he pretended to be calm: "One write off, don't come to me in the future."
She didn't dare to look at He Xu's face, it was probably livid or black.
When the elevator came, she strode in and poked a random floor.
When they got downstairs, Luo Yu's soul hadn't come back yet.
News from the cousin came in again: 【Yu Bao? Busy? 】
Luo Yu: [Sister, the leader just came to see me. OK, I'll go tomorrow night. 】
I'm out of spirits tonight, and I can't go even if I want to.
Luo Qi: [I'll buy vegetables tomorrow, so you don't need to prepare them. 】
The cousin didn't come back, maybe the leader is looking for her again.
Luo Qi was still thinking about Liang Zhen's house. She opened her mother's dialog box. The last time she contacted her was in June, the night she posted her 'boyfriend' on Moments.
Mother asked her: [Are you talking about a boyfriend? 】
She replied: [Fake, deal with rotten peach blossoms. 】
【Mom, I'm going home for the Mid-Autumn Festival. 】
Now that I have received the certificate from Jiang Shenghe, the previous resentment towards my parents miraculously dissipated.
When Jiang Yifang saw the news about her daughter, she was sour and excited.
She didn't explain any more about the past. After all, after Mrs. Pei came to her, she was really shaken, and she also hoped that her daughter could get back together.
The daughter should blame her.
Last month, her husband was under too much pressure and suffered another physical problem. He stayed in the hospital for nearly half a month.
In the first half of the year, I took on a relatively large project and did not rest for six consecutive months. I just finished my work last week.
In recent months, my eldest aunt has stopped coming to the house, and she is finally clean.
The husband's company is still very difficult, but there is hope if there is no loss.
Everything finally came to an end.
Even if her daughter doesn't come back, she still plans to visit her daughter during the holidays.
【What to eat? Mom made it for you ahead of time. 】
Rocky made a list and sent it to her mother.
Jiang Yifang asked again: [Can I stay at home for a few more days? My mother happens to be resting too, so I'm not in a hurry with the work at hand, and will start work after the holidays. 】
Luo Qi: [I can stay for four or five days. ] I have to give the boss a few more days.
Jiang Yifang happily said: [Call me before you come back, I will pick you up at the station. 】
【Mom, don't mention the past when you go back. 】
[Not to mention. It was me and your dad who did something wrong. At that time, we only wanted to make your life easier and didn't want you to be troubled again. We didn't understand that you valued your feelings too much. 】
Jiang Yifang stopped himself: 【Stop talking about this. Yu Li told me, you transferred money to your uncle two days ago, how did you save so much in a year? You can't spend a penny. Didn't I tell you that you don't need to pay back the money owed. I have been with your dad for at most ten years. When your dad's company becomes more profitable, maybe it will be repaid in five or six years. 】
Luo Qi: [I spent it. Changed positions and often worked overtime, overtime pay was high. I bought clothes and another oil painting I liked, so I didn't treat myself badly. 】
As long as the past is not mentioned, there will be no barrier between her and her mother.
Liang Zhen asked her mother to plan something, and talked to her face to face when she got home.
Jiang Yifang didn't tell her daughter that her eldest aunt's daughter got married during the November period. At that time, the daughter will not be allowed to go there, and the relatives will not know that the daughter is back anyway.
At six o'clock, Rocky left work on time.
[Mr. Jiang, I'll drive there by myself, it's convenient for me to go to work tomorrow. 】
Jiang Shenghe: [I also drive by myself. 】
They did not go downstairs together, but arrived at the tavern around the same time.
'You come, I'm still here'.
Luo Qi reserved a table on the first floor in advance. The lighting on the first floor is more dim and decadent than that on the second floor, and a few nostalgic slow songs are played in a loop every day.
A customer asked before if they could change the playlist, but the boss said no.
Those are Chulin's favorite songs.
Occasionally, piano music is also played, all of which are played by Chu Lin.
When Luo Qi booked, there were only two tables left by the door, just walk a few steps forward after entering the door.
Jiang Shenghe took off his suit and put it on the stool next to him. They all drove here and couldn't drink.
"What are you drinking?" he asked Rocky.
"Cherry juice."
Come to the tavern without drinking, eat the grilled lamb chops from the restaurant next door, and celebrate the anniversary of the boss for the boss. Everything is ridiculous, but it's happening.
There was a short-haired beauty sitting at the innermost table. When she saw the person at the table at the door stunned, she quickly moved to the opposite table with her face covered, and sat with her back facing the door.
She typed with both hands: [Your boss and Luo Qi are here! Right at the table by the door! You stay in the bathroom first! 】
Xiao Jiang: "..."
He hurriedly asked his wife: [Mr. Jiang saw you? 】
[Didn't see it, the light was dim, they didn't pay attention to the inside. 】Jiang Shenghe only met her once, and said less than three sentences, so he probably doesn't remember what she looks like for a long time.
[Didn't you say they were BE? Why come to the tavern together! 】
Xiao Jiang: [How do I know. I wish they were together. 】
Today, Mr. Jiang gave them a big red envelope. He invited his wife to come over to eat lamb chops to comfort her lost mood. Unexpectedly, the boss also came over.
They didn't even go to the second floor.
The wife sent again: [Then what do you do? How about going to say hello? 】
[Forget it, it's embarrassing. 】
The tavern has a back door, which is connected to the back kitchen. [I know the boss, go out through the back door, and you will check your phone first. I will take this time to go to the supermarket to buy things. 】
They were going on a self-driving tour during the eleventh holiday, and they planned to do some shopping tomorrow night, but today he took care of it first.
The nominal owner of the tavern is a friend of Chu Lin, who opened a piano shop, where he taught how to play the piano during the day, and came to the tavern to listen to music and draw pictures at night.
Xiao Jiang booked the venue on the second floor here last time, left WeChat messages, and occasionally liked each other.
After successfully going out through the back door, he reported to his wife and drove to the supermarket.
Xiao Jiang's wife held back and didn't look back at the table by the door.
The grilled lamb chops were ready, and the waiter brought the grilled lamb chops from the restaurant next door through the back door and delivered them to Luo Qi's table.
Luo Qi was not in a hurry to eat, and took out two keys from her bag, a key for the rental house and a secondary key for the car. It's shabby but she has all her sincerity.
She handed the key to Jiang Shenghe: "When I go to Ruipu, business trips are commonplace, and sometimes I need you to help water the green plants on my balcony."
There are no cucumbers now, and when they grow cucumbers in spring, he really needs to go over and take care of them.
Jiang Shenghe took the key, he was already very content with her being able to invite him to the tavern, never thought that she would give him the key.
"When is the rent due?"
"It's already here, and I've continued for another year."
Jiang Shenghe nodded, not making any decisions for her.
"It's a nice place, and life is convenient."
Luo Qi went on to talk about the gift: "You gave me an oil painting. I originally planned to give you a small gift today, but I didn't think about what to give. I will make it up when I meet something particularly suitable."
She didn't know if this was considered a big deal. She was so shocked by the confession and certification these days that she couldn't calm down. After the shock passed and she calmed down, she would think about what to give.
Telling him now is to let him know that she cherishes this marriage very much and wants to start well.
Before November, he must be replenished.
November 2nd was his birthday, so he couldn't pay back the gift before his birthday.
Jiang Shenghe didn't care about gifts, but he wanted hers, so he didn't refuse.
"Thought long?" he asked.
Luo Qi nodded, "You have everything I can think of." It's nothing new to give, and the things he usually uses are expensive, and many of them are custom-made, so she doesn't need to give him such a gift with a swollen face.
Jiang Shenghe said, "I'll help you think."
Luo Qi couldn't ask for more, she didn't need to rack her brains, it would be more meaningful for her to give what he wanted.
He has to go to work tomorrow, Jiang Shenghe has no time, after she finishes eating, he gets up to pay the bill.
"I've agreed." Luo Qi stood up, across the wooden table, and grabbed his arm in desperation, "Boss Jiang, you sit first, I'll pay the bill."
The cashier girl didn't take her money. Chu Lin told them that as long as Luo Qi came, no matter how much she spent, she would be free of charge.
Luo Qi handed over the phone, "Today is different, not inviting friends."
"Entertain clients?"
"...No, please ex-boss." Now husband.
Luo Qi insisted on paying, but the cashier was stubborn and gave a discount.
She asked for a cash register slip with their date of receipt on it.
Putting the receipt in her wallet, she went to Jiang Shenghe.
At the innermost table, Xiao Jiang's wife sent a message to Xiao Jiang: [Your boss and Luo Qi have left, you can come in in two minutes. 】
She said sadly: 【They are really BE. 】
Xiao Jiang asked: [Did you hear Mr. Jiang's confession was rejected? 】
【without. It's a little far away, so I can't hear them whispering. Luo Qi invited your boss tonight, and she told the cashier that she was not inviting friends, but the former boss. 】
The first meal Luo Qi came to the president's office with the boss was at the tavern, and tonight seemed to be their last dinner, so they chose this place because they explained everything clearly.
Fate comes and ends.
Xiao Jiang came in from the back door. Just now he saw the boss and Sister Luo on the side of the road. The two came in their own cars. The boss sent Sister Luo to the front of the car, but they didn't speak.
Sister Luo lowered her head, and the boss kept looking at Sister Luo, but got no response.
How bleak and bleak that scene must have been.
Xiao Jiang said: "Forget it, let's not talk about them." They also felt depressed.
He picked up the wine glass and clinked it with his wife, "Don't feel bad. Don't drink CP in the future, people who look good may not necessarily call."
"I know."
Just feel sorry for them.
The atmosphere between partners must be harmonious, and the atmosphere between lovers must be harmonious.
The two of them might just be suitable as partners.
She comforted herself like this.
Outside the tavern, in front of the parking space tens of meters away, the two looked at each other silently for a moment.
Luo Qi grabbed the handle of the car, and didn't intend to open the door to get in the car, so she stood with him for a while.
Jiang Shenghe said, "I thought of a small gift."
Luo Qi looked up: "What gift, tell me."
Jiang Shenghe: "Call me husband."
He added two more words: "Is it okay?"
Rocky: "..."
"I...Mr. Jiang..."
Speech was incoherent for a while.
She didn't even get used to their newlywed relationship, and suddenly called her husband face to face, she was unprepared.
Jiang Shenghe could fully feel the complex, entangled and embarrassing feeling of having to call her husband in the face of her boss.
As far as he was concerned, he had been looking forward to being with her for seven years and seven months. To her, she had only accepted his confession for three days, seventy-two hours. She was very unfamiliar with this feeling.
"Gifts don't have to be given today."
Jiang Shenghe wanted to hug her at first, but after thinking about it, he gave up and opened the car door for her, "Slow down."
Luo Qi got into the car and suddenly remembered, "Do you have glasses in the car?"
"Yes. Spare glasses."
"You drive slowly, too."
Jiang Shenghe will respond to her every word now: "Okay."
Rocky rolled up the window, slowed down in the car, and started the engine.
The street lights along the way seem to be brighter than before.
Rocky turned on the car music, today is a magical day, short and long.
"Boss Jiang."
"Jiang Shenghe."
"boss."
Any title can be called out easily, but the title of husband can't be pronounced when it comes to the mouth.
On the day of receiving the certificate, he just wanted to hear her call her husband, a simple request that couldn't be more simple, not a gift at all.
But she couldn't satisfy him.
It is estimated that there is no couple who are more unfamiliar than them.
Also, Jian Hang and Qin Moling, I don't know how Jian Hang gets along with Qin Moling.
In the future, I will ask Jian Hang for his experience in getting along with husband and wife after marriage.
After thinking about it in a mess, the car drove downstairs to the rental house.
Luo Qi got out of the car with the bouquet of flowers in her arms, passed the place where he proposed on the night of her birthday, and walked through the cramped aisle with voice-activated lights. When she took the key to open the door, she realized that she had forgotten to pull out the key that night, and the key had been stuck in the keyhole.
She put away the marriage certificate and the kraft paper envelope he gave, and calculated the time, he should be home soon.
After clicking on the boss' dialog box, Luo Qi subconsciously took a deep breath.
On the other side, Jiang Shenghe's cell phone on the center console vibrated one after another.
When he arrived in the yard, he parked the car and took his cell phone.
It was from Luo Qi, there were three voices in total, all of which were only two seconds long.
Jiang Shenghe clicked on the first voice message, he could hear a little awkwardness in her voice, she asked him: "Are you home yet?"
He didn't address Mr. Jiang, nor did he use 'you'.
Immediately afterwards, the next voice will be played automatically.
Article 2: "Husband."
Rule 3: "Don't reply to me."
The yard is very quiet, and the car is even quieter.
He heard correctly.
Jiang Shenghe listened to the second article five or six times alone, maybe seven or eight times.
Throbbing, moving, unable to calm down for a long time.
He still returned her, also with voice: "Luo Qi, I'm home."
He sent her another message: "I love you."
This is what he has kept in his heart for many years, and he has always wanted to say it to her but never had the chance to say it.
