The contract is set: Mr. Su will be captured obediently
Chapter 289 Rejection
How could Qiao Airuo not know about Mrs. Su's good intentions?She was very grateful: "Thank you grandma, I will definitely come to see you some other day, I am really sorry today."
"Stupid child, what do you have to be sorry for grandma? Remember, grandma will ask for a present when you come over next time." Madam Su said pretending to be concerned.
Qiao Airuo couldn't help being amused by Mrs. Su, and said: "Good grandma, I understand, I will definitely bring you a gift next time."
"Let's not talk, let's talk, your Aunt Pitty urged me to take a lunch break." Mrs. Su said, afraid that Qiao Ai would feel uncomfortable.
Qiao Airuo couldn't help but be moistened by Mrs. Su's thoughtfulness, her voice was gentle and her face was full of smiles: "Goodbye, grandma, you hang up first."
The other side agreed with a smile, and the phone was hung up.
Qiao Airuo looked at the black screen phone in her hand, and then she let go of her slightly frowned brows, and her mouth curled up slightly. It would be a lie to say that she was not moved. In the past, she had never experienced the love from the elders of the family, but now, not only did she find In spite of her own grandfather and maternal grandfather, even Mrs. Su treated her so well.
She tidied up the lunch on the table a bit, and made another list. She was cooking for lunch today, only to find that her refrigerator was empty again, and she needed to buy something.
While taking stock of her inventory, she checked the list on her mobile phone. The list was filled with necessary kitchen supplies. When she opened a cabinet, she saw that there was only one insulation box left in it. She suddenly remembered that there was another one that was taken by Tang Mo that day. Let's go, give it to Su Shaoxi, she stared at the lonely incubator for a while, then closed the cabinet door.
There was no expression on her face, but her quick steps away revealed her mood swings.
At the same time, in the two adjacent spaces, both Su Shaoxi and Qiao Airuo's emotions fluctuated rarely, unlike their usual calmness and self-control.
City A has a typical temperate climate in China. The warm winter sun hangs in the sky for a short time, but at 05:30 in the afternoon, the sky outside is already very dark.
Qiao Airuo closed the book in her hand, looked at the time, stood up, went upstairs to tidy up her style, took the coat from the hanger, and was ready to go shopping.
If she has time, she doesn't like to go out during the day, and generally likes to wander slowly at night, which will make her feel very relaxed.
In another apartment, Su Shaoxi sat upright, looking at a thick document, typing quickly on the laptop with his fingers, modifying the inappropriate parts of the document, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a strange but familiar figure appear on the screen. figure.
The fast-flying fingers stopped suddenly, and his eyes were completely on the screen. Before he could react, the tall figure had already stood up.
On the screen, Qiao Ai Ruo was holding a coat in his hand, and at the same time grabbed his mobile phone, came out of the room, and waited directly at the elevator door.
Su Shaoxi didn't know what was going on with him, and before he finished tangling, he had already gone out with the car keys.
Qiao Airuo was holding a mobile phone and earphones on her ears, and was responding to Han Zhixun's message, when there was an extra person beside her.
The familiar breath occupied her senses. Qiao Ai Ruo didn't have to turn her head to know who was coming. Her body became a little stiff instantly. Standing in place, she even forgot to reply to Han Zhixun's message, and the interface stayed at and Han Zhixun Communication interface.
Qiao Airuo didn't wear high heels today, and now she is 20 centimeters shorter than Su Shaoxi. Did she deliberately hide the content on the phone, so the content on the phone interface fell into Su Shaoxi's eyes without reservation.
The above is just a message from Han Zhixun: "Country M airlifted some seafood for me, come to my house for dinner at night? I'll make it for you."
Su Shaoxi's deep eyes suddenly shrank.
The elevator opened the door at this moment, and Qiao Ai Ruo's stiff expression and body were finally relieved, and she stepped into the elevator with almost messy steps.
Su Shaoxi covered the sharpness in his eyes and followed her into the elevator.
There were two more people, another small space without words, and the elevator slowly descended.
Embarrassment... This is the feeling Qiao Ai Ruo hasn't seen for a long time. She has always had a strong self-confidence, but this scene is really embarrassing.
She subconsciously took a small step forward, and her posture of standing side by side with Su Shaoxi was slightly different.
Su Shaoxi looked at her profile from the corner of his eye, his face was still expressionless, but the slightly clenched hands beside him revealed his obviously flustered heart.
The phone in Qiao Airuo's hand vibrated, interrupting the deathly silence and embarrassment. She quickly raised her hand and looked at the screen. It was Han Zhixun who called. Qiao Airuo remembered that she hadn't replied all this time, and she was a little sorry. Picked up the phone: "Alex."
"Evelyn, have you seen the news?" Han Zhixun asked softly from over there.
Qiao Eiruo said: "Well, I saw it. Just as I was about to reply to you, your call came."
Qiao Airuo's face was red and her heart was not beating, so she would not say that she was disturbed by Su Shaoxi, so she forgot to reply.
"Okay, so you come here now?" Han Zhixun asked softly.
He is standing at the porch leading from the garden to the residence, and not far from him, Mrs. Huang and Wei Yuan standing in the yard are cleaning the seafood out of the special packaging bags one by one.
Qiao Ai Ruo likes to eat seafood very much, Han Zhixun remembers it very clearly.
but……
Qiao Eruo was struggling, and the elevator returned to a dead silence, while the other end of the phone also remained silent, waiting for Qiao Eruo's reply.
On the other end of the phone, Su Shaoxi looked at Qiao Airuo's side face with a cold gaze. The expression on his face could not distinguish between joy and anger, but the tension in his eyes was unreserved.
Finally, amidst the tension on both sides, Qiao Airuo looked at the ever-decreasing numbers, and raised her red lips slightly: "I still can't do it tonight, I still have some documents that I haven't read, and I haven't finished preparing for tomorrow morning's meeting, so back and forth Once, I'm afraid I'm going to miss work."
She responded to the other end of the phone with a smile, joking.
This joke fell into the ears of Su Shaoxi beside her, and the tension in the latter's eyes instantly dissipated, replaced by an imperceptible smile.
Han Zhixun heard the smile in her words, although he was rejected, he was not unhappy at all, just a little bit disappointed, but even this loss was well concealed by him, he smiled and said: "Well, who Let me have such a conscientious partner? Then I will accept it myself."
"Ding—" The elevator door opened.
Qiao Airuo glanced at Su Shaoxi from the corner of her eye, concealed the complex emotions in her eyes, and took the lead to go out. While walking, she smiled at the other end of the phone: "There is a chance to eat together some other day. I just go out to buy food. Order daily necessities, we will meet and talk tomorrow."
Han Zhixun nodded with a gentle smile: "Okay, hang up first."
The phone was hung up from the other end, Han Zhixun took the phone from his ear, and the smile on his face faded a bit.
Wei Yuan understood the expression on Han Zhixun's face very cleverly. It seemed that Qiao would never come here. He pretended not to understand, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Han, let Mrs. Huang make this crab. I ate yours last time, to be honest, it's not as good as Mrs. Huang's."
Aunt Huang smiled and said nothing, she watched Han Zhixun grow up, and she also liked Wei Yuan as a child.
Han Zhixun put away his mobile phone and said with a smile: "If you have a chance to eat something I made, you still choose."
He turned to Mrs. Huang again and said, "Then I will trouble you."
"What are you talking about, young master?" Mrs. Huang said with a friendly smile on her face, "You guys like to eat, but it's too late for me to be happy."
Wei Yuan quickly mentioned the seafood, and said to Mrs. Huang, "I'll help you get it in."
"Okay." Mrs. Huang smiled and walked to the gate of the house.
Han Zhixun stood at the door, watching the backs of the two leaving, and let himself go.
Wei Yuan, who has been with him for many years, can be said to be the person who understands him best. Indeed, if Qiao Ai does not come, he will not have the idea of cooking himself.
On the other side, Qiao Airuo, who hung up the phone, had already walked to the side of the car. Not far away was the parking space for Su Shaoxi's car. Before getting into the car, she still couldn't control herself and cast her gaze in the direction of Su Shaoxi. , but happened to meet the latter's line of sight.
She shrank her pupils, quickly retracted her gaze, lowered her head, and sat in the driver's seat.
She didn't dare to look over there again. She closed the door, fastened her seat belt, and started the car. Her actions were done in one go. The car quickly left her parking space and looked outside.
Su Shaoxi looked at Qiao Airuo without reservation. Even though he and Qiao Aieruo had met their gaze just now, he didn't intend to withdraw his gaze at all. Instead, seeing Qiao Aieruo's violent reaction, he felt a little inexplicably that she so cute.
cute?Su Shaoxi frowned. It was the first time he used this word to describe others, and it was also the first time he felt what cuteness was.
Seeing Qiao Airuo's car slowly leaving the underground parking lot, Su Shaoxi also got into the car, started it slowly, and followed Qiao Airuo.
It's six o'clock in the evening, just in time for the rush hour. Qiao Aieruo walked out of the gate of the apartment complex and walked directly along the expressway along the river, staggering the congested traffic in the city at the moment.
The window of the car was completely down, and the pleasant cool wind in the winter evening poured towards her unreservedly.
If Han Zhixun was by her side at this moment, he would definitely remind her to pay attention to her body and not catch a cold, but now Qiao Airuo was alone, so she would wear a thick coat unscrupulously to feel the cool breeze.
There are no vehicles on the expressway. Qiao Airuo occupies the slow lane on the far right, and his eyes are on the river under the elevated road that has been lit by lights on both sides. The complexity and melancholy in his heart seem to have been cleared up a lot recently.
Her gaze flicked over the exterior rearview mirror, and she inadvertently saw a car following behind, which belonged to Su Shaoxi, a car she was familiar with.
"Stupid child, what do you have to be sorry for grandma? Remember, grandma will ask for a present when you come over next time." Madam Su said pretending to be concerned.
Qiao Airuo couldn't help being amused by Mrs. Su, and said: "Good grandma, I understand, I will definitely bring you a gift next time."
