The two parties involved, Qiao Yunshu and Li Hanting, had no idea what was happening outside, and the atmosphere between the two of them was a bit delicate.
She always felt that the man's eyes on her were very complicated. They were different from the deep eyes full of admiration when she looked at him before leaving. This time, there was more sorrow and sourness in her eyes, and there were more deep emotions. The ink was surging, and she couldn't see through it or feel it clearly.
Qiao Yunshu was a little embarrassed by his burning eyes and wanted to do something to lighten the atmosphere, so he stood up and deliberately said something, "Is there anything you want to eat or drink? Since you came all the way to say New Year's greetings , you are also considered a guest, I can’t treat you badly.”
Li Hanting didn't look too good at the moment. He had stayed up all night and rushed here from City A. He didn't get a good rest or eat anything, and now his stomach ached.
He asked softly, "Can you make me a bowl of noodles?"
Qiao Yunshu asked in surprise, "Have you not eaten yet?"
It's almost one o'clock now, and he hasn't had lunch yet. No wonder his face is so pale. He may have a stomach problem.
She is not such a cold-blooded person. No matter what, a man who comes to their house to pay New Year's greetings is considered a guest at home. What's more, he is the biological father of two children, and she can't just watch him suffer from stomach problems.
So Qiao Yunshu stood up and walked to the kitchen, "What noodles do you want to eat?"
The man's eyes were as soft as dripping water, and his tone was incredibly soft. He stood up and followed Qiao Yunshu into the kitchen, his eyes following her figure, "I don't choose, as long as you cook it, it's fine."
Since he said so, Qiao Yunshu chose to cook simply, hoping to give him something to eat as soon as possible. He cut a tomato using local materials and beat two eggs, planning to make tomato and egg noodles for him. .
She stood busy in front of the stove. Li Hanting sat next to her and watched her quietly. Qiao Yunshu wore a blue and white daisy apron, and her black hair was draped softly behind her. The afternoon sun shone on her through the window. Her body was covered with a soft filter, making her look as warm and beautiful as in the movie.
Suddenly, the man had the illusion that they were an ordinary couple, and the wife was washing her husband's hands and making soup.
After a while, a steaming bowl of tomato and egg noodles was ready. Each noodle was evenly coated with tomato and egg soup. It was sweet and sour in the mouth. When you eat it, it feels like it warms you from your throat to your stomach. It greatly relieved Li Hanting's stomach discomfort.
He slowly chewed the noodles in his mouth, and he suddenly felt like he was in another world.
Li Hanting looked up at the woman in front of him and said softly, "It's delicious. This is the most delicious noodle I have ever eaten."
Qiao Yunshu was amused by him and didn't believe what he said at all, "How could it be? After all, he is also the leader of the dignified Li Group. He must have eaten noodles made in five-star hotels, right?"
Li Hanting said sternly, "This is different. Your ground is more aura of human beings, giving me a feeling of home."
These words sounded a bit ambiguous at first. Qiao Yunshu blinked her eyes and pretended not to understand the meaning of his words, "Mrs. Li and grandma must have also cooked for you, right?"
Li Hanting chuckled, "Mother and grandma never enter the kitchen."
Qiao Yunshu thought belatedly, after all, they were young ladies from wealthy families. How could they go into the kitchen to cook if they had no fingers in the water?
After Li Hanting slowly finished a whole bowl of noodles, before Qiao Yunshu had time to move, the man stood up and washed the bowl.
She sat there and watched Li Hanting wash the dishes. Their kitchen was a bit cramped, and the man was wearing a high-end cashmere coat, which looked out of place in this dilapidated country house.
She opened her mouth and asked the question that had been lingering in her mind, "It's Chinese New Year, why are you here instead of accompanying your family? You can wait a few days to say New Year greetings."
Although it is normal for everyone to pay New Year greetings to each other during the New Year, there are only a few people who come to pay New Year greetings on the first day of the new year.
Li Hanting put the washed bowls into the cupboard, turned around and looked at her with deep eyes, "I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in a few days."
Qiao Yunshu didn't know why, "Why is it too late?"
The man did not answer her directly, but asked another question, "I called you last night, and there was a man next to you who asked you to go out to watch the fireworks. Who is he?"
Before Qiao Yunshu could answer, he took another step forward and continued to ask, "I called you so many times and sent you so many messages. Why didn't you reply?"
Qiao Yunshu suddenly felt a familiar danger from him, "The fireworks last night were too loud, I didn't hear them. I was a little tired after I got home, so I fell asleep. I didn't see your call or message this morning. When I wake up and call you, you’ve already turned off your phone.”
Li Hanting said, "I was on the plane at that time."
At the same time, he felt an unprecedented sense of uneasiness in his heart.
The fireworks last night were too loud, which meant that she indeed went to set off the fireworks with that man.
During the fireworks display, did the man express his feelings to Qiao Yunshu? Did she agree?
He clenched his teeth, his jawline tightened, and he tasted the bitter taste in his mouth, "Who was the man who watched the fireworks with you last night? What did you say?"
Qiao Yunshu frowned slightly, "It's none of your business. You just came to my house to pay New Year's greetings. You're not my guardian. Why should I report everything to you?"
Li Hanting's tall voice had already fallen in front of her, blocking a lot of light and shadow for her, "Did he confess to you? Did you agree?"
After hearing the man ask this question, Qiao Yunshu finally understood the reason for Li Hanting's abnormal attitude.
In terms of feelings, he misunderstood that Wang Wenli liked her, and when he asked him out to watch the fireworks, he wanted to express his love to her.
An incredible thought suddenly came to her mind, "So you suddenly came here from City A just to ask me these questions, right? It was also because of this that you made so many phone calls and sent so many messages yesterday. ?”
Li Hanting looked at her seriously, without blinking for a moment, "Yeah."
"I know that I am not qualified to care about you now. I am nobody to you, but I like you. When I see you with other men, I almost go crazy with jealousy."
His voice was a little hoarse, and every word fell on Qiao Yunshu's ears, making her heart beat rapidly.
