Surprise! The wife of a top star is actually a Nobel Prize winner

Speaking of the phoenix fish, Qian Qing wants to reveal something.

"I think you all have eaten this Laifeng fish at Zhuting Pavilion. I heard my daughter Chengcheng say that she had her welcome dinner there when she first started working."

Qian Qing's words reminded Li Xiao and the others of that dinner. They all nodded and continued to listen to Qian Qing's "story" with a smile, because his expression showed that he had something funny to tell.

"Actually, your dinner wasn't her first time trying the Phoenix fish from Zhu Ting Pavilion. We went there once when we first came to the Foggy City. Cheng Cheng loves this dish so much, she couldn't get enough even after two attempts, and she's always thinking about saving up to go back to Zhu Ting Pavilion for fish. And then, didn't her uncle come to visit her a while ago? Since someone else was paying, the little girl took her uncle to the Zhu Ting Pavilion she'd been craving for. She finished almost a whole portion of the Phoenix fish in one go, finally satisfying her craving."

As Cen Cheng's elder brother, Qian Qing deliberately adjusted the atmosphere at the dinner table. He talked about such a small matter with great enthusiasm, and everyone laughed after listening.

Especially the original three musketeers of Haoyue Advertising, even Brother Lei found it hilarious.

Li Xiao smiled and came to his senses: "Brother Qian, did you accompany Chengcheng to travel to the Fog City before?"

Qian Qing was surprised at Li Xiao's sharpness. He had intentionally hidden a topic in his words. Everyone else was still immersed in what he was saying, but only he laughed after hearing it. However, he immediately grasped the topic. He was a smart child.

"Yes, it was just after the Chinese New Year, so I took Chengcheng out for a walk to relax. But I didn't expect this little girl to refuse to leave after reaching the foggy city. She insisted on staying here to work. We couldn't persuade her, so we had to let her stay."

Qian Qing raised his glass and stood up, saying, "Thank you all for taking care of my daughter, Chengcheng, during this time. Come, on behalf of her family, I'll toast you. I'll drink it, and you can do whatever you want."

Li Xiao and the other three also hurriedly stood up, drank a glass with Qian Qing, and repeatedly told him not to be so polite.

"Brother Qian, Cen Cheng is a member of our department. It's our duty to take care of her. She is so well-behaved, just like our little sister. We all like her very much. She is also very capable and has helped us a lot at work." Li Xiao said seriously.

"Family members know their own business. My sister is really smart, but she had little exposure to society before, so she has many shortcomings. She has grown a lot during the time she has been working here, and I really appreciate your daily guidance. In the past month since Chengcheng joined the company, I have been transferring jobs, and now I also work here. We will visit each other often in the future." Qian Qing raised his glass again to toast.

At noon that day, Li Xiao and the other two accompanied Qian Qing to drink several glasses of wine, and they also ate up a large table of dishes with the wine. They were really full and satisfied.

Li Sheng, who had eaten the meal for free, exclaimed: It was really delicious, and Xiao Chengcheng's brothers and sisters were really nice people.

By the end of the meal, Li Xiao, who was not very good at drinking, was a little drunk. Fortunately, Li Shenglei and his family lived in the same community, not too far away.

After the three of them said goodbye politely, each of them carried a box of Beijing's specialty pastries and walked together on the path home.

"Li Xiao, you are not really drunk, are you? Just two glasses of red wine, and you really can't drink much. When you go out to entertain clients, what will you do?!" Li Sheng supported the slightly tipsy Li Xiao and complained.

"I'm not drunk. If I drink one more glass, I'll be really drunk. Luckily, Brother Qian is very easy to talk to and doesn't force me to drink. Otherwise, I would have made a fool of myself if I got drunk. This is my first time visiting someone's home."

Brother Lei looked at Li Xiao, who was leaning against Li Sheng, and advised: "In your current state, even if you're not drunk, you should still sleep over at our place before going home. Do you have anything urgent to do this afternoon?"

As Li Sheng's best friend from college, Li Xiao had a bed in the apartment Li Sheng and Lei Ge shared. They replaced the large bed in Li Sheng's room with a 1.2m x 1.5m solid wood bunk bed. The top bunk was reserved for Li Xiao, who occasionally stayed overnight. The quilt, sheets, and other items were all brought directly from the dorm at school after graduation.

"No, I was planning to take a nap before leaving. Otherwise, if my mother knew that I drank in the middle of the day, she would probably nag me all afternoon." Li Xiao replied.

Li Sheng also remembered the skills that Li's mother had mentioned, and smiled disloyally.

As they walked, they started talking about the delicious lunch. Li Sheng and Lei Ge, two takeout lovers, were so envious that they were about to cry.

Especially Li Sheng, who had just graduated and was living paycheck to paycheck, couldn't cook and had no money to go out for big meals often. As he was talking, he took advantage of his drunkenness to make a fuss and asked Li Xiao to stay tonight and cook them a delicious meal.

What could Li Xiao do? He could only agree with a smile. Fortunately, he really had nothing to do today.

* * * * * *

The late spring afternoon sun shone into the bed. Li Xiao woke up from a deep sleep after drinking and lay in bed comfortably, not wanting to get up.

The sounds of Li Sheng and Lei Ge playing games in the living room outside the door could be heard from time to time, but he was enjoying this wonderful afternoon with peace of mind.

As I was thinking, I thought of Cen Cheng.

He had always been a little worried that she would be lonely in a foreign country because of family matters, so on the recent less busy weekends, everyone in their department subconsciously found various reasons to make plans to go out and play together.

At today's dinner, I learned that she actually has many other family members, and these family members have not ignored her.

Although they are not direct relatives, whether it is the uncle who came before and treated everyone in their department to a sumptuous breakfast, or the brothers and sisters who carefully cooked a large table of dishes this time to thank them for their care, it shows that there are still people who care about her.

Her sister would learn to cook a dish she liked for her; her brother would immediately give up his stable job in Beijing and move to the Fog City to start a new life just because she had to work in the Fog City thousands of miles away. These are things that even blood brothers and sisters would find difficult to do.

She is really cherished by others.

This way, he felt at ease.

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. Was he paying too much attention to this little girl recently? In the past twenty years, he had never paid such attention to and taken such good care of anyone, let alone a woman.

You know, since he was a child, because he had a pretty good-looking face, there were a lot of girls around him, which often made him very annoyed. He would not say that he kept his distance from them, but he would try not to get close to them and maintain a certain social distance.

But for Cen Cheng, he was the one who took the initiative to approach her from the very beginning.

Li Xiao tried to find the reason.

Perhaps it was because Cen Cheng's appearance was so unusual? First, she unexpectedly entered the painting, and then he happened to be the one interviewing for the job, so his attention to her was also particularly different from others.

He does have cousins ​​at home, but he doesn't usually interact with them, let alone take the initiative to take care of and teach them.

But she is such a little sister that makes people want to protect and love her. Not only him, but other people in their department basically treat her like a sister.

Then it makes sense that he, a colleague whom she met by chance, would take better care of her than others, right?

Well, that’s it. After all, it’s fate.

This is how Li Xiao finally convinced himself.

At that time, he did not expect that some attention would become the cornerstone of feelings over time, and some people would be cared for for a lifetime.
