First spoiled, then love

Chapter 591 You Really Don’t Know How to Enjoy Yourself

The sun shines through the thin clouds, dappling on the city streets, bringing a touch of gentleness to this slightly hurried world. Chen Qingrong drives to the hospital with mixed feelings.

He was also helpless. He didn't expect that not long after Yang Bingbing broke her bone, Lao Yan also broke his bone.

Just as he told Tang Xiaoru, he felt that this couple was definitely in Mercury retrograde.

On the way, Chen Qingrong also bought some fruits. After all, he was visiting a patient, so he had to carry something in his hands.

Carrying the fruit, Chen Qingrong walked into the hospital. He asked the front desk nurse Yan Mo's ward number and walked straight over.

The ward was at the end of the corridor, with a faint light coming through a half-open door. He gently pushed the door open and walked in.

In the ward, Yan Mo was lying on the bed with one leg wrapped in a thick bandage and hung high.

His face was a little pale, but his eyes still revealed his unyielding spirit. Seeing Chen Qingrong coming in, he forced a smile: "Hey, Lao Chen, why are you here?"

Chen Qingrong put the fruit on the bedside table and looked at Yan Mo's bandaged leg. "How can you be so careless? What's going on?"

Yan Mo shook his head helplessly: "Don't mention it, it was just a female driver, and she was driving in high heels. I was walking on the side of the road at the time, and she panicked and ran into me. I'm screwed now. Bingbing's leg wasn't fully healed yet, and she still needed my care. Now we both have broken legs, so we're in the same boat."

Chen Qingrong couldn't help but frowned when he heard this: "Where's the female driver? Was she arrested?"

Yan Mo nodded: "Yes, she didn't run away. She was so scared that she started crying and has been detained by the traffic police. We will just go through the formalities later. I guess she will have to pay a lot of money."

Chen Qingrong sighed, and felt even worse when he saw Yan Mo's helpless look. He looked around, and in addition to Yan Mo's bed, there was also a bed for a caregiver and some simple medical equipment. There was a pot of green plants on the windowsill, adding a touch of vitality to this slightly monotonous space.

"Is it convenient for you to be alone in the hospital?" Chen Qingrong asked with concern.

Yan Mo smiled and said, "Don't worry, my mother will come to take care of me. She will be here soon, don't worry."

Chen Qingrong nodded: "That's good. I heard from Xiaoru that your problem is not serious. I hope you get better soon. I'm still looking forward to playing ball with you."

Speaking of playing basketball, Yan Mo teased, "Come on, Lao Chen, you can't beat me again. Have you forgotten how I beat you last time?"

When Chen Qingrong heard this, he was immediately furious: "You're talking nonsense! I was not in good condition that time! If it happens again, I will definitely beat you!"

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye an hour had passed. The door of the ward was gently pushed open, and a middle-aged woman walked in.

She saw Chen Qingrong sitting beside the bed and nodded with a smile: "Oh, it's Xiao Chen. Thank you for coming to see our Xiao Mo."

Chen Qingrong stood up quickly and said, "Hello, Auntie. Old Yan, please take care of me."

Yan Mo's mother smiled and waved her hand: "It's okay, Xiao Mo is my son, of course I will take good care of him. Don't be too polite, I just brought some chicken soup, you can have some too."

Chen Qingrong shook her head. "No, no, Auntie, I have to go home. Xiaoru is still waiting for me at home."

Yan Mo didn't force it.

Chen Qingrong patted Yan Mo's shoulder and said, "Take good care of yourself. When your leg is healed, we can play basketball together again. Don't let me torture you too badly then!"

Yan Mo smiled and responded: "Don't worry, Lao Chen! Let's compete again when I get better!"

Chen Qingrong left the hospital with a smile.

After leaving the hospital, Chen Qingrong felt a lot more relaxed. After all, seeing that Yan Mo was injured but in good spirits made him feel much more at ease.

He started the car and prepared to go straight home and have a good rest.

Not long after I drove out of the hospital, my cell phone rang. It was a WeChat message from Tang Xiaoru.

"Honey, please help me get a durian cake from the 'Sweet Honey' cake shop on your way home. I'll send you the coupon." There was a hint of coquettishness in Tang Xiaoru's message.

Chen Qingrong couldn't help but smile when he saw the message.

Some time ago, he still remembered that Tang Xiaoru said with disgust that durian tasted too strange and she would never eat it again. How come she suddenly wanted to eat it after such a short time?

He replied curiously: "Didn't you say some time ago that you hated the taste of durian? Why do you want to eat it again?"

After a while, Tang Xiaoru replied: "I suddenly want to eat, can you help me get it, okay~"

It was followed by a cute emoticon.

Chen Qingrong had no choice but to smile and reply, "Okay, okay, I'm scared of you. I'll go right away."

He found the "Sweet Sweet" cake shop according to the address sent by Tang Xiaoru.

The store is filled with the sweet aroma of various cakes, but the most intense one is the unique taste of the durian cake.

Chen Qingrong frowned, but still followed Tang Xiaoru's request and exchanged the coupon for a durian cake. He carried it carefully, fearing that it would accidentally get on his body.

When Chen Qingrong got home and just put the cake on the dining table, he heard the doorbell.

When he opened the door, he saw that it was Tang Xiaoru's father Tang Chengshan, and Tang Xiaoru's grandparents were also there.

"Hey, Xiao Chen, we are here." Tang Chengshan greeted with a smile.

Chen Qingrong quickly welcomed them in: "Dad, grandpa and grandma, you are all here, come in quickly."

When Tang Xiaoru saw her grandparents whom she hadn't seen for a long time, she hurried over to say hello.

She also asked her grandparents why they hadn't come over for so long, but her grandfather just made up an excuse to get away with it.

Just as Tang Xiaoru was about to ask more questions, Chen Qingrong's parents and her mother came over carrying things. Tang Xiaoru forgot what she was going to ask when they interrupted her.

Chen Qingrong said to Tang Xiaoru at this time, "Here, I brought it back for you. It's your favorite food."

As he said that, he brought the durian cake over.

Tang Xiaoru's eyes lit up when she saw the cake. She couldn't wait to open the box, took a deep sniff of the rich flavor, and then started eating it.

Chen Qingrong looked at her eating with gusto and couldn't help but sigh: "Eat it, eat it, as long as you like it. I'll just pretend I didn't smell this strange smell."

Tang Xiaoru rolled her eyes at him and said, "You really don't know how to enjoy yourself. Durian is so delicious, right, mom?"

Lin Yue sat on the sofa and agreed with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, if it's delicious, just eat more. We won't compete with you. But you have to save some room for dinner at night."

Tang Xiaoru's mouth was full of cake, and she responded vaguely, "I know."

The family sat together, watching Tang Xiaoru eating the cake, and couldn't help laughing. Chen Qingrong looked at this scene, and his heart was filled with warmth and happiness.

He is not that greedy.

He is very satisfied as long as his life goes on like this.

At dinner time, the table was filled with sumptuous dishes. The family sat around it in a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

Chen Qingrong's father suddenly announced a piece of news at the dinner table: "I have to go back to my hometown. Another elder in my family has passed away." Chen Qingrong's heart sank when he heard this.

He knew that for his father, every time he returned to his hometown to attend a funeral, it was a heavy blow to his mood.

He asked with concern: "Dad, should I go too?"

Dad shook his head and said, "No need, just one representative from each family will do. You stay home and take good care of Xiaoru, and don't forget your work."

Chen Qingrong nodded to show that he understood.

He knew that his father was reminding him not to delay his work because of family matters. After all, he was now one of the pillars of the family.

After dinner, the parents left one after another.

Chen Qingrong and Tang Xiaoru cleaned up the dishes and returned to the bedroom. They decided to soak their feet and relax.

Chen Qingrong brought two basins of hot water from the bathroom and placed them on the bedroom floor.

He and Tang Xiaoru took off their shoes and socks and put their feet into the hot water. Suddenly, a warm current flowed from the soles of their feet to their hearts, making them feel extremely comfortable and relaxed.

Chen Qingrong also told Tang Xiaoru what Gao Qiang had said to him.

"So are you planning to sell it to him?" Tang Xiaoru asked.

Chen Qingrong pondered for a while and said, "Actually, I am also hesitant. Gao Qiang is my good friend. If I sell it to him, the price must not be too high. However, if it is too low, I feel like I am losing money. After all, the current market value of that house is not low."

After hearing what Chen Qingrong said, Tang Xiaoru chuckled and said, "Okay, if he wants to buy it, just sell it to him. It just so happens that all the furniture inside is available, so they don't have to buy new ones. As for the price, just name it. I believe Gao Qiang won't let you suffer a loss."

Chen Qingrong nodded in agreement.

He knew that Tang Xiaoru had always been very reasonable and would not fuss about these things.

"However, the transfer procedures may have to wait until I give birth to the baby." Tang Xiaoru added, "I don't want to go out now and I'm too lazy to go through these procedures."

Chen Qingrong smiled and touched Tang Xiaoru's head, saying, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Now you can have a good rest. I'll go get you a glass of water."

As he spoke, Chen Qingrong stood up, went to the living room, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Tang Xiaoru.

"Chen Qingrong is the one who truly understands me."

Tang Xiaoru chuckled, took the cup of water, took a sip, then leaned against the head of the bed, closed her eyes and began to rest.

Chen Qingrong also returned to the bed and lay next to Tang Xiaoru.

He looked at her calm and peaceful face and felt extremely happy and satisfied.

He knew that no matter what happened, as long as he and his wife worked together, they would be able to overcome all difficulties.

"Honey, do you think Gao Qiang will feel that we are trying to kill him?" After a while, Tang Xiaoru suddenly opened her eyes and asked.

Chen Qingrong smiled and said, "How could that be? We quoted the price based on the market value, and we didn't deliberately raise the price. Besides, Gao Qiang is not a stingy person. If he really wanted to buy it, he wouldn't care about these things."

Tang Xiaoru listened to Chen Qingrong's words and nodded in agreement. Then, she closed her eyes again and continued to rest.

It was late at night, and the bedroom was quiet. Only the occasional chirping of insects outside the window and the roar of cars in the distance broke the silence of the night. Chen Qingrong and Tang Xiaoru were both immersed in their own thoughts, enjoying this rare quiet time.

After a while, Tang Xiaoru gently pushed Chen Qingrong and said, "Honey, I'm sleepy. Let's go to sleep."

Chen Qingrong nodded and pulled the quilt up to cover Tang Xiaoru's shoulders. Then, he gently hugged her, feeling her body temperature and breathing, and gradually fell asleep.

That night, both the couple slept soundly.

The next morning, the sunlight gently poured into the bedroom through the gaps in the curtains.

Chen Qingrong slowly opened his eyes and saw Tang Xiaoru still sleeping beside him with a faint smile on her face, as if she was immersed in a sweet dream.

He stood up quietly, not wanting to disturb her, then tiptoed to the living room and began to prepare breakfast.

After a simple breakfast, Chen Qingrong changed into a neat suit and prepared to go out to the branch office.

When we drove to the branch, it was still early and there were only a few employees busy working in the company.

Chen Qingrong walked straight to Gao Qiang's office, but found that Gao Qiang had not arrived yet, but Zhou Tianyi was already there.

"Brother Chen, why are you here so early? Are you here to inspect the work?" Zhou Tianyi greeted Chen Qingrong with a smile when he saw him.

Because there were no outside employees present, Zhou Tianyi simply called him Brother Chen.

He would only call him Mr. Chen when there were employees present.

Chen Qingrong poured himself a glass of water and said as he drank, "I guess so, but I mainly need to talk to Gao Qiang about some things. By the way, you've recruited a lot of new employees recently, and I don't even recognize a few of them."

He looked around and found that there were indeed a few unfamiliar faces in the office.

Zhou Tianyi spread his hands helplessly and said, "There's nothing we can do. In our industry, the turnover is fast. New employees come in, old employees leave. This is a common thing. However, these new employees are very good and have great potential."

As he was speaking, Gao Qiang pushed the door open and walked in, holding a breakfast in his hand.

He was a little surprised to see Chen Qingrong in the office so early, but then he smiled: "Old Chen, why are you here so early? I just bought some pan-fried buns, let's have some together?"

He turned and looked at Zhou Tianyi, "Tianyi, do you want it?"

Zhou Tianyi smiled and shook his head, saying, "I won't eat. I just had breakfast."

"If Brother Chen doesn't want to eat it, then I'll eat it. If you don't take advantage of a bargain, you bastard."

Zhou Tianyi smiled and didn't hesitate to pick up the bun and stuff it into his mouth.

Gao Qiang cursed with a smile, "It's hot, eat slower, don't burn your tongue again."

"No, no."

Zhou Tianyi smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Well, it tastes good. I'll take two more out to eat, and you guys chat about your own things."

As he said that, Zhou Tianyi took two more steamed buns and walked out.

I just heard that Chen Qingrong came to see Gao Qiang. Now that Gao Qiang is here, they must have something to discuss, so it is not suitable for me to stay here.

This is the most basic insight as an adult.

Gao Qiang also started eating, and asked as he ate, "Old Chen, did you discuss this with your sister-in-law last night?"

Chen Qingrong nodded. "After discussing it, your sister-in-law also agreed to sell the house to you. How much do you plan to pay?"
