22 -Â To be honest, I am the one who got the advantage.
Married life for newlyweds?
Stay together?
When this idea flashed through Cheng Li's mind, she was stunned.
She seemed to be dragged into a dream that was both absurd and realistic.
He clearly knew that everything that happened was real.
But because it was too abrupt, there was an inexplicable sense of absurdity.
The view of the Huangpu River outside the window was shining brightly, and the neon lights in the sky seemed to be refracted from the distant sky into the window and fell around her.
"Do you think our marriage is just playing house?" Rong Qi asked calmly.
Cheng Li blinked: "Of course not."
Rong Qi: "That's good."
At this moment, Cheng Li suddenly felt that Rong Qi was not just planning to boil his mother-in-law.
He seemed to be preparing to boil her in warm water!
"I have asked my aunt to buy the ingredients for cooking and put them in the refrigerator," Rong Qi said as he walked towards the kitchen.
Only then did Cheng Li remember the purpose of her visit today.
Yes, cooking.
She followed Rong Qi and realized that even the kitchen was terrifyingly big.
There is a marble island in the center of the kitchen. The pure white kitchen is so clean and beautiful that every inch is sparkling. However, Cheng Li looked around and found that the kitchen countertop was clean and tidy, with nothing on it.
"You don't usually eat at home?" Cheng Li asked cautiously.
This kitchen was so clean that she felt that it was a crime for her to cook here.
Rong Qi: "Occasionally."
Cheng Li pursed her lips, looked around, and finally couldn't help but said, "Where are the cooking things? Sugar, oil, soy, vinegar, and pots."
Rong Qi reached out and opened the kitchen cabinet When Cheng Li opened the door, she saw rows of neatly arranged bottles and cans.
"The ingredients should be in the refrigerator," Rong Qi walked to the side and opened the refrigerator door.
Sure enough, the things aunt bought were neatly placed inside.
"I'll come, I'll come," Cheng Li immediately took the things and said generously, "Don't stay with me here. I can handle these few dishes by myself."
Cheng Li was still quite confident.
Rong Qi raised his eyebrows: "You don't need me to help?"
"You said I'm here, don't worry," Cheng Li stretched out her hand and rolled up her sleeves.
He looked like he was ready for a big fight.
Rong Qi nodded: "I'll cook the rice."
"Okay." Cheng Li nodded, and she started to process the materials in front of her. The tomatoes needed to be sliced, the chicken wings had to be washed, and the Kung Pao chicken was okay. My aunt bought it. It's a special Kung Pao Chicken ingredient. Just put it in the pot and stir-fry it.
What kind of fairy aunt is this?
Cheng Li sighed while handling the ingredients.
Rong Qi didn't seem to know where the rice was at home, and he couldn't find it after searching around.
Seeing this, Cheng Li said, "Why don't you stop looking for it? How about I make some noodles for you?"
"The question is," Rong Qi looked at her, paused, and said slowly, "Where are the noodles?"
Cheng Li asked seriously. I couldn't help it. This kitchen is so big, it's possible that Mi could get lost.
So she rolled up her sleeves again, opened all the cabinets that needed to be opened, and finally found rice in a white sealed box.
"So it's here." Rong Qi took a look and realized.
Suddenly, Cheng Li asked carefully, "Is this really your home?"
"No, it's borrowed," Rong Qi looked serious and serious.
Cheng Li couldn't hold it back, laughed out loud, and turned around to continue cutting tomatoes.
So the two of them had a clear division of labor, one was cooking, the other was washing rice and cooking.
When Rong Qi put the washed rice in the rice cooker, she turned around and saw that Cheng Li had turned on the natural gas, the open flame was on, and the pot was a little dry. Then she poured the oil in an unskilled manner.
Soon, the kitchen was filled with the aroma of green onions stir-fried with oil and salt.
It's that familiar homely taste.
Rong Qi leaned against the island platform and looked at Cheng Li standing there.
A strand of long hair fell from the side, swaying gently in the light and shadow.
She raised her hand and gently brushed it back with the crook of her arm.
Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the side, and Cheng Li turned her head to look over conditionedly.
Rong Qi stood behind her, and their eyes met in mid-air.
As if in slow motion, she watched as his fingers gently hooked the naughty long hair and gently tucked it behind her ears.
Cheng Li looked at him blankly.
There was smoke and fire in the kitchen, and the warm yellow light above the head was rendering it, and there was an inexplicable ambiguity in it.
"You..." Cheng Li said slowly.
Rong Qi looked at her with a calm expression: "I'm afraid your hair will fall into the pot."
Cheng Li: "..."
That's a big mistake! !
Why did she think this scene was ambiguous just now? ! !
Cheng Li quickly calmed down her expression, fearing that Rong Qi would see how sentimental she was just now.
"I'm very careful, don't worry," Cheng Li explained quickly.
Rong Qi: "Well, I saw it, so I helped you."
Right.
People just have good intentions!
Just good intentions!
However, Cheng Li couldn't bear it anymore and stood beside him and said, "Why don't you go to the living room and wait first? I'll call you
when I'm done." "I'm fine. I'll just stay with you here."
Yes. Will you accompany me?
Cheng Li felt inexplicably that he should be a supervisor.
Monitor whether her hair falls into the pot.
So Cheng Li cheered up, regardless of whether he was standing here or not, and concentrated on cooking.
Perhaps Supervisor Rong really made a difference, and she really performed beyond her abilities.
In more than half an hour, all three dishes were fried.
The rice happened to be cooked, so Rong Qi took the dishes outside and Cheng Li took out two bowls from the cupboard.
Two bowls of rice were served.
With everything ready, Cheng Li looked at the dishes placed on the white marble table, feeling somewhat accomplished.
"Want to drink?" Rong Qi stood opposite and asked suddenly.
Cheng Li blinked: "Do you want to drink?"
"Forget it," Rong Qi didn't seem to like it very much.
Cheng Li looked around and muttered: "Actually, your dining table is suitable for Western food. It just lacks two crystal candlesticks."
Just as she was talking, she saw Rong Qi walk to the cabinet not far away, opened it directly, and opened it from the inside. He took out two crystal candlesticks with white candles on them.
Rong Qi placed the crystal candlestick on the dining table.
In an instant, the whole table felt a sense of nondescript and funny.
Cheng Li looked at the gorgeous crystal candlestick paired with the three dishes she cooked. She said helplessly, "I suddenly felt that the dishes I cooked are not suitable for display here."
"Who said that?" Rong Qi sat down directly. .
Cheng Li also sat down, and the two sat opposite each other.
After a while, Cheng Li discovered that Rong Qi seemed to like eating the food she cooked.
Although his food looked polite, his speed was not too slow. In a short while, more than half of the rice in the small bowl was eaten.
Cheng Li: "I would have given you a bigger bowl so you could eat more, but I see that your dishes and chopsticks are all filled with small bowls like this."
"I'll ask Auntie to buy another one tomorrow," Rong Qi nodded.
He just said it casually, and he asked his aunt to buy a bowl.
Cheng Li quickly said: "No, no need."
Rong Qi looked up at her slowly: "So, do you want me to eat more, or not?"
Cheng Li: "..."
"Buy it." Cheng Li The broken jar dropped and he bowed his head.
How did she feel that she stepped into a trap so easily with her words.
Fortunately, this meal was quite pleasant, because Rong Qi was so generous that there was not much left after three dishes.
The disc movement was successfully implemented.
After eating, Rong Qi stood up and put away the dishes. Cheng Li said, "I'll do it." He
had already done the cooking, but he still cared about this.
"You cook, I'll clean up," Rong Qi glanced at her: "This is a clear division of labor."
Okay.
Cheng Li stopped fighting with him. Rong Qi put the dishes and chopsticks into the dishwasher, and soon the sound of a machine turning came from the kitchen.
After everything was packed up, Cheng Li felt that it was almost time to say goodbye.
She did some mental construction for a while, and then she said softly, "I'm going back now that I'm done eating."
"Wait a minute."
When Cheng Li saw him finish speaking, she turned around and walked towards the corridor, casually Entered a door.
That seems to be the study room.
When I visited the home just now, he introduced it.
Soon, Rong Qi walked out of the study, holding a long black box in his hand. He walked up to Cheng Li, and he handed it over directly.
"What is this?" Cheng Li did not answer immediately, but asked instead.
Rong Qi: "Business trip gift."
Cheng Li was a little surprised: "But didn't you send something to my house before?"
"That's different," Rong Qi handed the box forward again.
Cheng Li hesitated and whispered, "What is this?"
Although she didn't see what was inside, she could recognize that it was a box from a certain jewelry brand. It must be jewelry.
Rong Qi could see her thoughts at a glance and simply opened the box.
Lying inside the black velvet fabric was a thin and long platinum necklace. The pendant of the chain was a round diamond.
It's not exaggerated, it has a low-key and simple beauty.
"Didn't you say before that you would find a necklace to wear our wedding rings around our necks?" Rong Qi said in a casual tone: "I happened to see one during this business trip, which is quite suitable." Only
then did Cheng Li understand that the purpose of this gift was significance.
She thought for a moment and said helplessly: "You always buy me gifts, and I seem to be taking advantage."
"Taking advantage?" Rong Qi chuckled, raised his eyes and stared at her, and said slowly: "Speaking of which, yes Let me take advantage."
"Ah?" Cheng Li was surprised by his remarks.
It wasn't until Rong Qi said, "Do you really not know how troublesome it is for others to marry a wife?"
Only then did Cheng Li understand what he meant.
She whispered: "Our situation is special."
"So, don't say such things again in the future," Rong Qi curled his lips slightly: "Otherwise I will feel that you are sarcastic."
Cheng Li: "How can I ."
When she spoke, Rong Qi directly grabbed her hand and placed the box in her palm.
This time, Cheng Li did not refuse.
Because Rong Qi didn't drink, he drove her home directly.
Originally, Cheng Li said it was too far and she could just take a taxi back.
Rong Qi sat in the driver's seat and turned to look at her: "I can live with grandma."
Oh, that's right.
Cheng Li would never be polite to him again.
The two of them didn't chat much in the car, and it was quiet.
Cheng Li turned on her phone and glanced at WeChat. Suddenly she remembered something important.
But she endured it until the car arrived at the door of her community.
The car stopped, but she didn't get out of the car immediately. Rong Qi turned to look at her.
Cheng Li pursed her lower lip slightly and decided to ask directly.
She said, "Can I make a somewhat unreasonable request to you?"
"Tell me," Rong Qi said without hesitation. He glanced at her, a smile spreading in his eyes, "I want to hear how unreasonable it is.
Cheng Li: "..." But
she still risked her life and said, "You remember Meng Yuange, my best friend in high school, and of course, my best friend now."
Rong Qi nodded.
"She is now a financial reporter, interviewing business elites. So I wonder if you can accept her interview?"
Cheng Li looked at him cautiously.
After a long time, Rong Qi suddenly smiled, and Cheng Li's heart beat violently.
Then, she heard him say: "How big a deal do I think it is? Which media company is she in? I will ask my assistant to contact her tomorrow."
Cheng Li clenched her fist suddenly and yelled in her heart.
But her happy expression was too obvious.
This made Rong Qi feel relaxed. He squinted at her and said, "This is what makes you so happy."
"Of course, you don't know how much she wants to interview you, but don't worry, she is professional He is very capable, his writing skills are sharp, and his interviews are definitely not superficial."
As a best friend, Cheng Li certainly wanted to say good things to Meng Yuange at this time.
But after saying that, Cheng Li said: "If you have any use for me in the future, just ask. Although I know that I won't be that big, but as long as you say it, I will go through fire and water."
Although this matter is not for Rong Qi, maybe It's really a small thing.
But just because he agreed so readily, Cheng Li felt that he could handle it!
Rong Qi seemed to be amused by the words "go through fire and water," but then he looked at Cheng Li: "There seems to be something."
"What is it?" Cheng Li asked quickly.
Rong Qi smiled and said, "I'll tell you next time."
Okay.
Cheng Li said goodbye to him, then opened the door and got out of the car.
She walked to the gate of the community, turned around as usual, and saw that the window on the driver's seat had been lowered.
Just in time to see Rong Qi.
So she waved her hand and said goodbye to him again.
The next morning, Cheng Li just finished the regular meeting and left the conference room.
The phone in his hand vibrated.
When she saw it, it was Meng Yuange who opened the call, so she answered the call.
"Ahhhhh," Meng Yuange's screaming voice traveled along the radio waves and impacted her brain. Cheng Li almost suffered a cardiac arrest from her shouting.
Cheng Li: "Calm down, calm down."
Meng Yuange: "I can't calm down, centimeters, do you know? The editor just told me that Rong Qi decided to accept our exclusive interview, and..."
She paused deliberately, Cheng Li gave her face Asked: "And what?"
"And he actually directly appointed me for the interview, appointed me! It's me!!!"
Cheng Li could feel Meng Yuange's happiness across the phone, and she also laughed: "Congratulations, you got what you wanted."
"You don't know how funny my colleagues are. Originally, the editor asked me to go, but they were not happy. Especially a senior reporter, who said in public that the editor was partial, but the editor If you tell me directly, I will be asked to go by name. If she is not happy, let her go to Qiyu Technology and ask for the reason. "
Meng Yuange: "My dear, can you feel my happiness?"
"Yes."
"No, I have to buy a lottery ticket later. It's my turn to have good things like this. Maybe I can win five million."
Cheng Li: "..."
She originally wanted to persuade Meng Yuange, It's better not to waste this money, but after thinking about it, I decided to forget it.
Consider it an early Christmas gift.
