Mainly because he gave too much money

When Chu Ling came to pick up her "daughter-in-law-to-be" the next day, she was surprised to find that Yan Xiuji was still at home.

And still eating breakfast at the table!

Chu Ling showed a rare expression of astonishment, looked at her phone, and then at her son: "It's [-]:[-], and you're actually at home? Don't you go to work today?"

"My fault." Zhou Ziyi rushed to reply in front of the CEO, "I didn't calculate the time well, the coffee was too hot, which delayed him from going out."

Yan Xiuji was very calm: "It's just moved to the house during the company's breakfast time."

Chu Ling looked at her son's breakfast, showing a disgusted expression: "Noodles and coffee? What kind of combination is that?"

"..." Zhou Ziyi felt that this was really his own fault, "Mistakes, mistakes, I didn't think too much about it when I made it. I'll get a soymilk maker some other day, and it will be fine."

Chu Ling didn't say anything, just sat down opposite her son: "All right, Xiao Zhou has finished his breakfast yet? I'll leave after you finish."

"Auntie said to come at 09:30. I really haven't eaten yet, so please wait." Zhou Ziyi smiled, "Auntie, do you still want to eat? Or drink some coffee?"

Chu Ling: "Hand-ground?"

Zhou Ziyi: "Hand-ground."

Chu Ling: "Drink."

Zhou Ziyi went into the kitchen, and Chu Ling stared at her son eating breakfast.Yan Xiuji noticed her gaze and swallowed the noodles in his mouth: "What's the matter?"

"No, I just think you're lucky." Chu Ling sneered, "I'm not in the mood to wake up early in the morning and make hand-ground coffee for your dad."

Yan Xiuji: You didn't receive the 3000 million dowry either.

But there was no way to say that, so Mr. Yan ate noodles in silence.Tomato minced meat topping, beet flower, Yan Xiuji rarely eats this type of breakfast, but it feels pretty good.

Zhou Ziyi came out with coffee, saw the mother and son happily (?) facing each other, and put a cup of coffee and a plate of sugar cubes in front of Chu Ling.

Then, he put another plate of sugar cubes on Yan Xiuji, and took away another small plate from his hand.

There were three sugar cubes in this dish, but it is now empty.

Yan Xiuji: "..."

Chu Ling didn't pay attention to this little detail, and was too busy pouring her whole plate of sugar cubes into the coffee cup.

Zhou Ziyi asked her: "Auntie, do you want to add some cube sugar?"

Chu Ling took a sip: "Yes."

Zhou Ziyi looked at her, then at Yan Xiuji, and turned back into the kitchen with some amusement.

——Mother and child are connected, interesting.

Ten minutes later, Yan Xiuji set off for work.

Another 10 minutes later, Zhou Ziyi also followed Chu Ling away.

***

When Yan Xiuji came to the company today, Li Fei greeted him calmly, gossiping like crazy in his heart.

She was very alert. Seeing that her boss didn't arrive on time today, she sent a message to ask the driver.It's not about asking the boss what he is doing, but asking the driver to ask the boss if he still has breakfast in the morning.The driver just returned, "The boss ate at home", and Li Fei was shocked.

——I brought coffee yesterday and ate it at home today!

——This is not the content of the contract, so is it requested by Mr. Yan, or Zhou Ziyi took the initiative?

——Either way, it’s amazing!

Li Fei even took advantage of the opportunity to report to Yan Xiuji to find out what was going on.

She first changed the topic from work to private matters of marriage: "Mr. Yan, I just sent you a list of invitations, please take a look. If there is no problem, I will send it out by hand."

Yan Xiuji let out a "hmm".

Li Fei asked again: "Have Mr. Yan read the invitation card style finalized by Zhou Ziyi? Is there anything else that needs to be changed?"

Yan Xiuji said: "I have read it, there is no need to change it."

The preparations are almost done, Li Fei changed the subject: "By the way, Mr. Yan, do you want to order breakfast for you in the morning?"

Yan Xiuji looked up at her.

Li Fei's heart skipped a beat, but she kept her composure on her face, pretending to be asking casually.

Yan Xiuji probably evaluated something, and after two seconds, he replied: "Let's talk."

"Okay, then I'm going out." Li Fei slipped away as if she had been pardoned, and before leaving the office, she heard Yan Xiuji say, "Give me a look after writing the first invitation card."

Li Fei turned around: "Didn't there be words written on it when I looked at the invitation card before? Zhou Ziyi showed Mr. Yan the version without words?"

Yan Xiuji said: "I mean, show me my invitation after writing the first one."

Li Fei was a little dazed, but agreed anyway.

***

On this day, Yan Xiuji's letter X received a lot of information.

Most of them are photos sent by Zhou Ziyi.

All kinds of home furnishing, sofa coffee table chairs in the living room, bed wardrobe bedside cabinets in the bedroom, everything you expect to find, all kinds of tricks.Yan Xiuji had just glanced at it and shut it down, without replying at all.However, Zhou Ziyi suddenly started sending out mahogany carved furniture halfway, and Yan Xiuji couldn't help it immediately: 【This won't work. 】

Zhou Ziyi replied: [I know, Auntie said that your father likes it, and babbled a few words in disgust. 】

Yan Xiuji did not come back.

Zhou Ziyi continued to send him messages, but did not receive a reply, but he continued to send messages persistently.Seeing the movement, Chu Ling thought that her son was really going back and forth with him, and she was quite emotional.

Therefore, Zhou Ziyi completed the task of "showing affection" in front of the elders without Mr. Yan's cooperation.

Zhou Ziyi summed up the results of visiting the furniture store that day in a few words: [I successfully persuaded auntie to move your bedroom away!But my aunt said that your bed is pitch black and you need to change the bedding.I chose light blue and light green!Auntie literally looks like a hotel hahahaha. 】

The attached picture shows two sets of four pieces, which are actually bright colors, but the color is relatively light and the material is not reflective, so it is barely on the edge of Yan Xiuji's acceptable range.

Anyway, it will last for a month.

Zhou Ziyi also posted: [I also successfully rescued the leather sofa in the living room!But the coffee table, TV cabinet and dining table cover all need to be replaced, the first two should refer to the color of the sofa, no wood! 】

There are also pictures, the TV cabinet is made of full paint texture, the design is fashionable, and it is asymmetrical and simple hollow style.It is estimated that this thing will be complained by ordinary families for "low storage capacity" and "plenty of places for dust", but it is also really good-looking.In particular, the pure black and white color scheme made Yan Xiuji quite satisfied, but he also wondered why his mother didn't like this color scheme.

The coffee table is even more fashionable, with pure glass design and ingenious geometric splicing. In summary, it is beautiful, high-end and expensive.Again, this thing can only hold a few fashion or financial magazines, add fruit and flowers at most, and no more.It's not because it can't bear the weight, but because it's too careless to use it like this.

Because the glass coffee table is too transparent, a carpet is added underneath to balance the vision.

The dining table and chairs are made of wood, but the design is a little lighter than before. It was made by Chu Ling herself.

I won’t go into details about other things like changing curtains, adding pillows, etc.

Zhou Ziyi posted a lot, and at the end he finally sent a separate question: [We've settled on this, brother, do you have any comments? 】

Yan Xiuji replied: [No. 】

It's not that President Yan Da is impatient to watch, it's that Zhou Ziyi's choice is really okay.Some are barely acceptable, and some are good for Yan Xiuji.When Yan Xiuji picked out the furniture for this house, he only handpicked some of the more important ones, leaving the rest to the designer.Although the finished products were all okay, they were not to the point where Yan Xiuji's eyes would shine.

Mr. Yan, who has a high sense of aesthetics, was very satisfied with the TV cabinet and coffee table that Zhou Ziyi ordered this time.

Mr. Yan was satisfied, so he answered Zhou Ziyi's next question.

Zhou Ziyi asked: [Auntie wants to invite me to dinner, and asked if you would come. 】

Yan Xiuji replied: [No. 】

Zhou Ziyi: 【Working overtime again?Auntie said that you go to work the next day after your engagement, unlike someone who is going to get married.He also asked me where I was going on my honeymoon, which I prevaricated casually. 】

Zhou Ziyi: [Auntie asked me again if you have been working overtime recently. 】

Zhou Ziyi: [Brother, I said it's okay, sometimes add, auntie said I'll make up a lie for you...]

Yan Xiuji was also confused by the words "live broadcast". He didn't understand Zhou Ziyi's ability to make Chu Ling agree to the black and white TV cabinet, and now he is still chatting casually.But he knew that if he didn't come again, Zhou Ziyi would probably be ruined.

The CEO had no choice but to say: [Send me the address, I'll be there later. 】

Zhou Ziyi: [Okay! 】

After replying, Zhou Ziyi smiled at Chu Ling: "He said he will come, but he will be late."

Chu Ling was amazed.

——What kind of skill is it to coax my son into confusion.

***

Going home at night, Yan Xiuji was about to go upstairs when he heard Zhou Ziyi speaking to the housekeeper from behind.

Ask her to buy some soybeans tomorrow.

Yan Xiuji stopped, turned around, and asked after he finished speaking, "What are you doing?"

"Buy beans and come back to make soy milk." Zhou Ziyi said, "The soy milk machine has been ordered and will arrive tomorrow morning, but the soy milk won't be available until breakfast the day after tomorrow."

Yan Xiuji said: "You don't have to do this."

Zhou Ziyi was taken aback: "Huh?"

"The contract doesn't require you to take care of my private life." Yan Xiuji said, "You performed well in front of my mother today, but you don't have to take everything seriously."

Zhou Ziyi reacted for a few seconds: "You said that I will make you soy milk?"

Yan Xiuji didn't answer, but he fixedly looked at him, acquiescing that was what he meant.

"Hey, Mr. Yan, you don't need to go online like this." Zhou Ziyi smiled, "It's not just you eating alone, I eat too. I live in your house, the food and rent are gone, and I can still eat by myself." Let my aunt do what I want to eat, and there are not many opportunities to do it. You just think that I want to drink soy milk, and make it up by the way, or it will be fine."

Yan Xiuji: "..."

Zhou Ziyi: "Or, do you think I can't buy a soymilk machine, and I can't reimburse this month's living expenses?"

How much is a soybean milk machine worth?For Mr. Yan, it's all drizzle.

"I'm just reminding you, don't expect anything else." Yan Xiuji looked at him and said calmly, "I don't ask you for anything other than the contract, and you don't have any expectations beyond the contract."

Zhou Ziyi blinked: "'Expectations beyond the contract', do you mean having breakfast at home?"

Yan Xiuji said: "I'm talking to you about something serious."

"Okay, okay." Zhou Ziyi raised his hands, "Mr. Yan, I promise I didn't think about anything. Who would have thought that you would think so much about letting you have breakfast, I'm just a roommate. "

Yan Xiuji said: "There is no need for unnecessary things."

"I know it's not necessary, but it's okay, right?" Zhou Ziyi said helplessly, "It's just a matter of convenience, I just want to be friendly. Is drinking a cup of soy milk so high-level and online? Well, then I won't drink it, that's fine." Alright."

Yan Xiuji: "It's not just about soy milk."

"OK, breakfast is also cancelled, there are no noodle sandwiches and coffee. Mr. Yan will go out as soon as he goes downstairs, and he will never be late for work." Zhou Ziyi said, "Thank you Mr. Yan for your face this morning. What else, let's finish it at once." .”

Yan Xiuji: "..."

Zhou Ziyi asked in surprise, "Is it because I can't have breakfast at home?"

"It's up to you." Yan Xiuji said without saying anything, and went upstairs.

Zhou Ziyi watched him off, and when his back disappeared, he opened his mouth to complain silently.

— Virtue.
