old enemy riding a bamboo horse

When Xia Chengqi drove back to Lu's house, the food in his hands was still warm, he withdrew his wandering thoughts, and got out of the car with the food.

He opened the door, walked through the hallway, and wanted to go into the kitchen to put down the food, but found that the kitchen lights were on, and the aroma of food was filling the dining room.The soft yellow light that has not been turned on for a long time shines on the dining table, green stir-fried seasonal vegetables, fresh and tender steamed shrimp, and a cup of steaming gastrodia fish head soup.

Sensing someone coming back, Mu Yawen shyly took back the spoon that was brought to Lu Henglin's mouth.

"Mr. Xia, excuse me." Mu Yawen nodded politely, with a sincere smile, "I'm worried that the housekeeper is not careful enough, so I specially made some light food for him. If you don't mind, let's have dinner together."

Xia Chengqi also smiled, and put the bag in his hand aside, "It's disrespectful."

Lu Henglin looked sullen when he saw him, "Didn't you bring food back?"

"Since Ms. Mu invited me, of course I have to give her face." Xia Chengqi said, and sat down happily, "I'm sorry to interrupt your affectionate time."

"As long as you know."

Mu Yawen brought out the last tomato stewed beef brisket, and then filled three bowls of rice before sitting next to Lu Henglin, and then he didn't care about eating by himself, so he served him soup and vegetables.

"Miss Mu is good at cooking." Xia Chengqi took a bite of the dish and sincerely praised it.

"It's rare that you can taste the good from the roadside stalls." Lu Henglin looked at the food bag thrown aside, sarcastically.

Xia Chengqi didn't take it seriously, raised his head and said with a smile, "Well, the food fed by my sweetheart is the best, isn't it?"

"Yeah, it's a pity you came back at the wrong time." Lu Henglin sneered.

Xia Chengqi was still smiling, but he didn't mean to be confrontational anymore, he lowered his head and began to eat quietly.

Lu Henglin didn't have much appetite, and it didn't seem to make him very happy to have the upper hand.

"I heard that Mr. Xia worked overseas before, so he must have been to many interesting countries, right?" The atmosphere at the table was not good, and Mu Yawen began to exchange polite greetings.

"Well, indeed, they are all interesting countries. There are lions that are always wandering not far from the residence, and there are several tornadoes a year. The most exaggerated time is to find crocodiles in the river in front of the door." Xia Chengqi introduced lightly.

"Such a thrilling adventure didn't affect your achievements." Lu Henglin felt uncomfortable. Han Bingzheng said it in a very general way. He didn't expect that the so-called bad conditions in the country Xia Chengqi had been to were so bad.

Did he become so cruel afterward?Instructed to arrange Xia Chengqi to suffer in such a place?

"Thank you Mr. Lu for affirming my ability."

"Isn't Xingyuan equipped with enough medical personnel? You were injured abroad without being treated properly, and you still left such obvious scars on your face?" Taking this opportunity, Lu Henglin finally said that he had been living for a long time. For the past questions, Xia Chengqi's brow scar is always an eyesore. Every time he sees it, he feels strange and uncomfortable.

Xia Chengqi was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect him to mention this, it took him a long time to think of something, he smiled self-deprecatingly and touched the end of his brow, "This, old injury."

"Actually, surgery to remove scars is very convenient now, do you need me to introduce a doctor to you?" Mu Yawen interjected.

Xia Chengqi shook his head, "No need, thank you Miss Mu for your kindness, but this scar has a different meaning to me, I want to keep it to remind me of something."

"It seems to be an unforgettable memory. No one would not care about his own face. What's more, Mr. Xia is so good-looking. This scar is not about hatred, but about love." After all, Mu Yawen is a young girl, and she is always interested in secrets.

Xia Chengqi was noncommittal and just smiled.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Mu Yawen didn't pursue the question and changed the topic.

Lu Henglin couldn't eat.

For a moment, he vaguely felt that Xia Chengqi was exuding a strange sadness, but soon he felt that it was his hallucination.

He hates that he is still immersed in the memories of the past, and Xia Chengqi has repeatedly affected his emotions.

When he came back to his senses, Mu Yawen was already chatting with Xia Chengqi about strange food abroad.

"Actually, those strange vegetables and spices you mentioned are okay. I have been to a country before, and the food is potatoes except for meat, and even tomatoes are rare. It is really tormenting."

Mu Yawen's face suddenly changed slightly when she heard the words, she was silent for a long time before hesitantly asked, "The country you mentioned is country H?"

"How do you know?" Xia Chengqi smiled, and soon remembered, "Ah, yes, Mu's business there used to be very extensive. Although they had to withdraw after the war, they gained the market of country x later. Losses, but also gains a lot." As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Henglin, and laughed at his love brain again.

Mu Yawen didn't pay attention to these, and continued to question seriously.

"When the rebellion broke out in Country H, was Mr. Xia there?"

"Well, I was indeed trapped there at that time. Fortunately, I am lucky, and I am still alive." Xia Chengqi smiled and bowed his head to eat.

While Lu Henglin was silent, he felt a burst of heart palpitations for no reason. The sudden acceleration and throbbing heartbeat made him frown.

It's not just as simple as the bad environment, he even forced Xiao Qi to encounter danger in a war-torn country, and almost had an accident.

Lu Henglin felt desolate in his heart. Did he become such a cruel and cruel person?

Mu Yawen sensed the silence of the two, and seemed to feel that the conversation was too long, so he stopped talking and began to eat in silence.
