My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

Chapter 128 The Painful Price

Li Yuxuan counted on his fingers and said to him, "Look, how many of them went from being friends to lovers? Didn't the doctor say she's lacking in nutrition? Just learn how to make that delicious soup and keep making it for her until she's touched. Of course, you should keep making it even after she's touched."

Shen Yi: "What if she always treats me as a friend?"

Li Yuxuan was so disappointed: "Why are you so screwed? Lao Zhou is ten years older than his wife. He's already an old cow eating young grass, but Xiao Qiao still treats him as her uncle. Lao Zhou has succeeded in pursuing her."

Zhou Qizhen glanced at him sideways and said nothing.

After listening to Li Yuxuan, Shen Yi seemed to regain his confidence.

"Then, then I will treat her well and make up for what I did to her before. If she doesn't accept it, I will always insist on it."

Li Yuxuan showed a teachable expression: "That's right! You have to remember, if you don't have a thick skin, you are invincible."

Shen Yi thought it made sense and nodded.

After persuading Shen Yi, Zhou Qizhen and Li Yuxuan left the office.

While waiting for the elevator, Zhou Qizheng glanced at him lightly: "You are good at persuasion."

Li Yuxuan put his hands in his pockets, nudged his shoulder with his shoulder, and smiled mischievously: "What? Are you unhappy that an old cow is eating young grass?"

Zhou Qizhen took a step away from him and patted the place where he had bumped into, as if there was something dirty on it.

"Yo yo yo! Now that you're married, only your wife can touch you? Tsk!"

Zhou Qizheng ignored him and said seriously, "What if those bad ideas you came up with can't catch up?"

The elevator arrived, and after the two got in, Li Yuxuan pressed the button for the floor he wanted to go to.

"Just stop him from crying first. At least for a short while he'll be full of energy. Otherwise, if you see him whimpering all day long, a grown man, it's not a good influence."

After Li Yuxuan finished speaking, he recalled his previous words: "Hey! What did you just say? Bad idea? Ha! When you were pursuing your wife, you used a lot of my bad ideas!"

Zhou Qizheng: “…”

……

After get off work in the evening, in Chenxin underground parking lot.

Lu Xiaoqiao and Lin Lin went downstairs together and found Zhou Qizhen's car.

Lin Lin sat in the back seat consciously, and Lu Xiaoqiao discovered that the car was the one Zhou Qi drove back during the Chinese New Year.

Sitting in the passenger seat and fastening his seat belt, he looked at Zhou Qizheng in the driver's seat and asked, "Is the car back?"

Zhou Qizheng started the car: "Well, I arrived at noon today. There were a lot of cars on the highway in the past few days, so I didn't rush back. My mother brought me a lot of local specialties, all in the trunk."

Lu Xiaoqiao curled her lips and said, "What kind of specialties could there be? Your precious pumpkin accounts for half of it!"

Zhou Qizheng turned his head and glanced at her: "It's a pumpkin."

Lu Xiaoqiao had a very convinced expression on his face: "Okay, okay, okay, whatever you say is fine."

Lin Lin sat in the back, looking at the two people sitting in front with an aunt's smile. One was her most feared uncle, and the other was her best friend. Now, seeing the two of them sitting together so well, chatting about topics related to the atmosphere of life, it felt so heartwarming.

It would be even better if there was a baby sitting in the back to keep her company!

When they arrived at the old house, Lu Xiaoqiao got out of the car and went to the trunk to see what local specialties Lu's mother had brought.

Sure enough, there were six or seven pumpkins, as well as some of her favorite dried vegetables, with nuts accounting for a larger proportion. They were just right for giving to others, and some could be given to Zhou's father and others.

Today is the Lantern Festival, Lin Ziyang and Ouyang Yueyue are also here.

Ever since she and Zhou Qizhen got their marriage certificate, Lu Xiaoqiao hadn't seen them both. When they smiled and called her aunt, her cheeks turned red again.

At the dinner table, Zhou's father wanted to drink some wine to liven up the atmosphere, but Zhou Qizheng refused: "No, I won't drink today. I have to drive later."

Father Zhou was stunned: "Aren't you staying here today?"

"I won't stay this time. Let's do it next time. I have other things to do when I go back today." After Zhou Qizhen said this, he glanced at Lu Xiaoqiao with a smile.

Lu Xiaoqiao's hair stood on end at this look. Thinking of Zhou Qizheng's reply of "It's too late" before getting off work, she felt a little guilty and lacked confidence.

Lu Xiaoqiao lowered her head and weakly took a bite of the shrimp that Zhou Qi had just peeled and put in her bowl.

Father Zhou glanced at his daughter-in-law who had lost all her energy in an instant, thinking that Lu Xiaoqiao thought Zhou Qizhen was too busy and focused all his energy on work. He felt a little sorry for this daughter-in-law who was younger than his granddaughter.

"Why does everything have to be done today? Can't it be done tomorrow? There's never enough work to do. Don't be so busy with work all the time. You should make more time to spend with Xiao Qiao."

Lu Xiaoqiao smiled and said to Father Zhou, "Dad, I think it's better to focus on work. Qi Zheng works very hard, and I understand."

Zhou's father disapproved, "That won't work. No matter how hard it is, you have to make time to spend with your wife."

Lu Xiaoqiao lowered her head and said nothing more. She didn't want him to accompany her now.

After dinner, I came out of the old house.

When they reached the yard, Lu Xiaoqiao wanted to make a final struggle: "Let's stay here for one night! Keep dad company. He's old and wants us to spend more time with him."

Zhou Qizheng stopped and looked down at her, raised the corner of his mouth and said with a wicked smile: "Are you sure? The soundproofing here is not as good as at home."

Lu Xiaoqiao: “…”

Surprisingly, there was no traffic jam on the road today, and Zhou Qizhen was driving a few points faster than usual.

As soon as they entered the house, before Zhou Qizheng could say anything, Lu Xiaoqiao threw herself into his arms, hugged his waist tightly, looked up and blinked at him, and said in a more coquettish manner than ever before: "Hubby, do you think I behaved well today? Dad scolded you, and I helped you out."

Zhou Qizhen felt his whole body tremble. He had never seen Lu Xiaoqiao like this before. His deep eyes became deeper, his heartbeat became unusually fast, and his Adam's apple rolled twice.

He lowered his head to look at Lu Xiaoqiao, who was still smiling at him foolishly, winking at him, and acting coquettishly towards him.

I don't know whether she wants to please him or kill him.

She certainly didn't know that the more she did this, the more excited he became.

He picked her up like a princess and walked eagerly towards the master bedroom...

……

When Lu Xiaoqiao woke up again, it was almost noon!

The lofty ambitions she expressed the day before yesterday had already cost her a "painful" price, and Zhou Qizhen's embarrassing words were still ringing in her ears.

She would never have believed that the serious Zhou Qizhen would say those words. His words were even more colorful than the first time, with bright red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.

I didn't want to go to work at this hour. I guess Lin Lin would laugh at me if I went. I just boasted yesterday, and now I'm being rude! Who could stand this?

I called the HR department and told them that I was not feeling well today and asked for a day off.

She did feel a little uncomfortable, and her throat felt a little hoarse.
