When the eyes of both parties met, there seemed to be a pause. Xia Cheng avoided his gaze and went directly to the restaurant.
Chen Juan also followed him. He was originally thinking that since the servant at home was not here, breakfast would be missing.
When I arrived at the restaurant and sat down opposite Xia Cheng, I realized that I had been worrying too much. It turned out that she had made two portions.
Chen Juan's heart suddenly softened. Although Xia Cheng ignored him, she was still thinking of him.
The two of them ate breakfast quietly without anyone speaking.
Just after she finished eating, Xia Cheng's cell phone rang. When she saw it was the hospital's number, she immediately became nervous. She quickly picked it up and walked out of the restaurant.
Mom Yu Li's voice came over, "Chengcheng, it's me, I'm fine."
Xia Cheng breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her voice was calm, "Mom, it's okay. I was just planning to visit you in the next two days."
Yu Li said, "I just miss you. If you come, remember to come with Chen Juan."
"Oh, he was injured a little and is recuperating at home recently. I'm afraid he won't be able to go with me."
Xia Cheng thought that Chen Juan would definitely not want to go. She and he seemed to be inseparable, and even if she went, her mother would be suspicious. This was a good excuse.
"Is it serious? Let him be well taken care of at home. You must take good care of him, you know?" Yu Li's tone was very worried, and she told Xia Cheng to take good care of Chen Juan.
Xia Cheng didn't say anything, but felt a little unhappy in her heart. She reluctantly said, "I understand, Mom, you should also pay attention to your health."
The mother and daughter chatted for a while before closing the line.
She returned to the restaurant and saw Chen Juan clearing the table with difficulty with one hand. Xia Cheng walked over, took the tableware from his hands, sent it to the kitchen to be washed, and almost bumped into Chen Juan when she came out.
He looked over intently, "I have a few friends who are coming to City B. Come with me at noon and meet them, right?"
His friend, why did he want to meet? But before Xia Cheng could refuse, Chen Juan's cell phone rang. He answered it and put it to his ear, and directly agreed, "Okay, your sister-in-law and I will go find you later and we'll talk about it later." "
He didn't even agree, but he answered readily. Chen Juan's eyes were deep, "Go and change clothes. These friends of mine are very rough, but easy to get along with. Don't wear high heels when going to the suburbs."
He has never asked me to meet his friends or accompany him to social events before.
He wanted to integrate himself into his circle, and he didn't shy away from the relationship between the two. What on earth did Chen Juan want to do?
Xia Cheng was unhappy, but he still had to have the proper etiquette. Since he agreed, he couldn't let him lose face in front of his friends.
So he nodded and went back to the room. When he came out again, he was wearing a loose white T-shirt, a pair of light-colored casual pants, and sneakers.
This outfit was energetic and amiable, very suitable for today's activities. Chen Juan was very satisfied and said with a smile, "Let's go."
Xia Cheng drove and glanced at the man beside her from the corner of her eye, "Are your arms suitable for bumps?"
Since yesterday, this was the first time she was talking to Chen Juan. His heart skipped a beat and he asked softly, "Are you caring about me?"
Xia Cheng gave him a cold look. If he had known this, he shouldn't have talked to him.
Chen Juan smiled softly and gave her a piece of paper, "The skin injury is fine. Let's go to the vegetable market first to buy these things, and then go to the suburbs of the city."
There were some things written on that piece of paper, which looked like ingredients for barbecue. Could it be that he was going to have a picnic?
Xia Cheng had been silent recently, and Chen Juan naturally knew why. He looked at her from the corner of his eye, "Why, are you still angry?"
Xia Cheng shook his head and responded lightly, "No." He just didn't want to pay attention to you.
In fact, shouldn't it be you who should be angry? But when he saw her crying, Chen Juan felt that everything was his fault.
He didn't say anything else. The two of them quickly arrived at the market. Xia Cheng got out of the car and purchased ingredients according to the list. Chen Juan naturally followed her.
Xia Cheng is the eldest daughter of the Xia family. She has always been the apple of her parents' eye. She was pampered since she was a child. When she got married, she always had clothes to put out her hands and food to open her mouth.
Chen Juan thought that a young lady like her, who did not live in the world, would definitely be cheated if she went to this kind of market to buy things.
But I never expected that she was very good at bargaining. Not only could she wipe out the zero, but before leaving, she would also ask the boss for some green onions, coriander, and some ginger and garlic.
Looking at the boss, he shook his head and sighed, "Oh, girl, I will lose money selling this dish to you."
She was so down-to-earth, and Chen Juan had an indescribable feeling in his heart. It was sour and swollen, not uncomfortable, but a sense of satisfaction, and the corners of his mouth subconsciously raised.
It took more than an hour to finally buy all the things. Chen Juan was hurt, but Xia Cheng didn't care about his image and was very down-to-earth. He picked up one in each hand and put it in the trunk.
Afterwards, we drove out of the city according to Chen Juan's instructions. After driving for about another hour, the car stopped in an open space on the outskirts.
The two got out of the car and saw a dozen young people not far away, laying out tools. It looked like they were really going to have a picnic.
Someone saw Chen Juan and stood up quickly, "The boss is here with his sister-in-law, please stop being busy."
Everyone else stopped what they were doing and gathered around, asking enthusiastically, "Boss, this is my sister-in-law. She is so beautiful. Sister-in-law, I am Sun Ning. They all call me..."
Everyone else said in unison, "Grandson."
Sun Ning chased them and was about to beat them. Then he laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, they are rough people and have no quality. I will ignore them. Sister-in-law, sit down quickly."
Sun Ning wiped the bench again and again and asked Xia Cheng to sit down. Others also announced their names and talked non-stop around her.
Chen Juan stood for a long time and no one paid attention to him. He had to cough to show his presence.
"Oh, boss, sit down quickly. Sister-in-law, wait for the brothers to finish cleaning these ingredients and bake them for your sister-in-law and boss to eat."
Sun Ning greeted everyone, took down everything, sorted it into categories, put it in the prepared big basin, and used the water he brought to start cleaning and arranging the dishes.
This group of people looked very pragmatic, dressed casually, with white skin and a bit of slovenliness. Their eyes seemed to be a little photophobic. Xia Cheng had never known that Chen Juan had such friends. She guessed that these people must be engaged in special industries. .
Their enthusiasm infected Xia Cheng, and she put on her gloves and joined them.
Sun Ning and his party naturally refused to let her go. My sister-in-law was like a flower. It is estimated that the boss would not let her work at home, so he naturally had to pamper her.
Xia Cheng frowned, "Don't think of me as weak, I can do it."
She rolled up her pants and washed the vegetables quickly, even the bloody meat.
After washing, put it in a basin, marinate it with some seasonings, and seal it with plastic wrap.
"Sister-in-law, the boss won't let you work every day, right?" Sun Ning asked.
Xia Cheng said while busy, "No more, occasionally. By the way, Sun Ning, I see you are short-sighted. What do you do?"
