My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

When Zhou Qizheng's phone rang, Lu Xiaoqiao was just opening the car door and preparing to get out. He reminded him, "Don't forget to take the hairy crabs."

"Okay, Mr. Zhou, I'll go up first. Thank you for taking me back tonight."

"Well, send me a WeChat message when you get inside."

After Lu Xiaoqiao closed the car door and stepped onto the stairs, Zhou Qizheng finally answered the phone: "Hello! Sister, why are you calling me so late?"

The time difference between Zhou Qiyue's country and China is more than three hours, so it should be early morning there.

"Why did you take so long to answer the phone? Has the person been delivered?"

I turned on my phone’s Bluetooth and connected it to the car: “What do you mean?”

After saying that, he took out a cigarette box from the storage box and knocked out a cigarette.

"Zhou Qizheng, you're so capable that you've even come here to eat the grass in your own backyard. Why don't you admit it?"

Hearing this, the hand holding the cigarette suddenly paused, then put it back into his mouth. He took out the lighter as if nothing had happened, held the fire in his hand to light it, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled smoke rings.

The left window was wide open. He placed his left hand holding the cigarette outside the window and flicked the ash with his index finger.

"I'm not trying to hide it. Did Dad call you?"

From the moment he saw Lu Xiaoqiao coming out of the kitchen, he had no intention of hiding it from her from the moment he stayed to eat.

Zhou Qiyue didn't expect him to admit it so easily, and he couldn't say anything even though he had prepared a lot of words.

"Well, what else can you do? Do you think Lin Lin can find out? You'd never believe that your uncle would one day kill your best friend. If that happens, your sister will become your aunt. How will you heal the trauma in my daughter's heart then?!"

Zhou Qizheng: “…”

"But then again, when did you come up with this idea? Was it a spur-of-the-moment decision because the girl was pretty, or was it..."

Zhou Qizheng interrupted the unfinished words on the other end of the phone: "I'm serious."

After hearing his answer, Zhou Qiyue felt relieved. She was afraid that her brother was just impulsive and attracted by the beauty. The man was also her daughter's good friend and classmate, which would make things difficult to resolve.

"That's good. What does Xiao Qiao mean? Is she interested in you? Don't be too one-sided."

Listening to Zhou Qiyue's words, Zhou Qizhen felt a little heartbroken. So far, he was indeed too enthusiastic.

"You're a man, and you're so much older than him. If you like her, just take the initiative. You'll be 33 next year. Dad won't rush you, but he'll be anxious seeing that Uncle Liu's grandson is already in kindergarten."

Zhou Qizhen didn't rush to talk, but took the phone and looked at the display that said you have a new message. He opened the WeChat interface and clicked on the address book with the note "Qiao Qiao".

[Mr. Zhou, I'm going inside. Please drive carefully [kiss].]

I was casually swiping the screen of my phone when I suddenly saw a kiss emoticon behind the message. Thinking it was an illusion, my body suddenly stiffened and I sat up quickly. When I wanted to confirm it again, it showed that "Qiao Qiao" had withdrawn a message.

Immediately afterwards, four emoticons were sent in a row.

[[Cracks][Sigh][Frown][Crying]. ]

[Did Mr. Zhou see it? No, I clicked the wrong button [crying].]

Zhou Qizhen couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

[Yes, I see.]

Seeing that the little girl didn't reply for a long time, he didn't dare to tease her too hard, so he replied again.

【fine. 】

"No, Zhou Qizheng, what are you doing? I've been telling you for so long, did you hear me? Dad and Auntie want you to be well more than anyone else. It's been so many years, it's time to let it go. Every time you come home, Auntie is happier than Dad. If Mom were still alive, she wouldn't want you to be like this."

Zhou Qizhen fastened his seat belt again, released the parking brake, started the car, and replied in a cold tone: "If Mom is still alive, she won't have any problem."

Zhou Qiyue didn't want the two of them to have an unpleasant argument every time because of this matter, nor did he want it to be his eternal demon.

"Okay, I won't say any more. Just drive carefully. When you get married and have children, you'll understand what I meant."

After they hung up the phone, Zhou Qi was thinking about what Zhou Qiyue had just said. Getting married? He really wanted to have a family, a home with Lu Xiaoqiao.

……

During the National Day Golden Week.

Lu Xiaoqiao took Qin Momo's class for five days, and planned to spend the remaining two days relaxing by herself.

Her aunt called her several times to ask her to go to her house for dinner, but she made excuses to refuse. She knew that if she went, she would be scolded for helping Qin Momo with her job, and she would be told that helping others would only bring trouble to herself.

Around 9:30 in the morning.

I finally don't have to go to work today and was thinking of sleeping in, when my cell phone rang. I pulled it out from under my pillow and saw that the caller ID showed 'Lin Lin'.

He swiped the phone and answered: "Hello! Lin Lin, what's wrong so early?"

A lazy voice came from the microphone, and it was obvious that the person had just woken up: "Xiao Qiao, you lazy idiot, why haven't you gotten up yet?"

"I read a novel until two in the morning yesterday. I don't have to go to work today, so it's just me and Tuanzi at home, so I'm going to sleep! The weather is neither too cold nor too hot, and it's so comfortable to cover myself with the quilt."

After saying that, he stretched.

"Then if you have time, can you come over and cook shrimp for me?"

"Ah? Didn't I just do it for you a few days ago?" Lu Xiaoqiao counted the days in his mind, and it was not even ten days.

Lin Lin said aggrievedly, "You did, but I didn't get to eat much. My uncle ate half of it by himself. I didn't expect my uncle to be such a foodie."

Zhao Yaqin, who was sitting next to Lin Lin, patted her and said, "This kid, you're talking nonsense! Your uncle didn't eat half of it. It's not because Xiao Qiao's cooking was so delicious that he ate a few more bites."

Lin Lin retorted in a delicate voice, "I'm not talking nonsense. If you don't believe me, ask my brother. He only ate one, I ate five, you and grandpa each ate two, and the rest went into my uncle's stomach. I'm counting them."

"Say this to your uncle."

Zhao Yaqin was so anxious that she started to threaten Lin Lin. She couldn't let Zhou Qizhen have a bad image in front of the little girl.

"Hmph!" Lin Lin pouted and said nothing more.

Zhao Yaqin took the phone from Lin Lin and said, "Xiao Qiao, if you don't have work today, come over. You can teach me how to cook these shrimps if you have time. I think everyone likes them."

"Sure! Then wait for me, grandma. I'll be there as soon as I'm done packing."

"You don't have to take a car by yourself. I'll ask Qi Zheng to pick you up. His father has something to ask him and he just happened to be coming over. The new overpass is now open, so it's convenient to drive from his place to where you live."

"Xiao Qiao, bring Tuanzi here too." Lin Lin added.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Xiaoqiao quickly got up and packed up. He brushed his teeth and washed his face. Considering that the weather was getting a bit colder, he picked out a pair of jeans from the closet, paired them with a short-sleeved white T-shirt, and a thin lotus pink knitted jacket on the outside, so that it would be convenient to take off the jacket when it got hot.

She tied her hair into a half-high ponytail which is very popular recently, with some bangs on both sides of her forehead, making her look two years younger.

Just as I finished packing, Zhou Qizhen called.

"Hey! Mr. Zhou, Lin Lin asked me to bring Tuanzi over. Can you put a dog in your car?"

"Okay, I'm downstairs, come on down."

Lu Xiaoqiao took a pet handbag and put Tuanzi in it, with only the little head sticking out. This was mainly because she was afraid of dirtying the other person's car, which looked very expensive.

When Lu Xiaoqiao went downstairs, she saw a black Bentley parked next to the flower bed. There were usually no luxury cars in their community. When she was wondering if it was his car, she saw the driver's window roll down, revealing the handsome face of the man inside.

When I opened the car door and got in, I saw Zhou Qi was on the phone, and he was communicating in pure English. He really makes a lot of phone calls. Eight out of ten times I saw him, he was on the phone. It seems that being a boss is not that easy.

Seeing that Lu Xiaoqiao had fastened her seat belt, he started the car. Because it was a holiday and it was this time of year, there were not many cars on the road.
