president, addicted to love
Chapters 372 and 373 Merge Suspicion
Chapter 370 and 370 combined Suspicious "Let's go, it's getting late." Qi Xia patted the shoulders of the two children, but still didn't respond to Qi Zhensheng.After all, the relationship between the two has been stagnant for so many years. Even if she is willing to let go of her hatred for him, she is still not ready to face him.
Qi Zhensheng's expression froze.
The corner of He Liancheng's lips curled up, and he said calmly, "Father-in-law, let's go first."
Qi Zhensheng was startled suddenly, his eyes lit up with joy, and he nodded again and again, "Okay, you go first, I will accompany your mother-in-law."
Qi Xia's expression changed, the corners of his lips were tense, and he wanted to say something, but finally held back.
The fingers of the old woman holding the cane suddenly trembled, her body was unsteady and she swayed, Qi Xia hurriedly supported her, "Auntie, are you okay?"
"I...I'm fine..." Her voice trembled a little.
Qi Xia thought that she hadn't recovered from the illness just now, and couldn't care less about venting her anger with Qi Zhensheng, so she helped her walk out of the cemetery.
Qi Zhensheng looked at the back of the group of them leaving, and finally, he set his eyes on the old woman, his brows were slightly frowned, that thin body was arched, as if carrying a heavy weight, and his whole body exuded sadness And the breath of loneliness will make him feel sad.
The old woman seemed to be very shy of others seeing her face. She lowered her head and shrank herself in a corner all the way, without saying a word.
He Liancheng sent her to the station. At the station, she could take a minibus back to the village. After the couple sent her to the bus, the minibus hadn't started yet. Qi Xia saw many fruit vendors around the station. She whispered a few words to He Liancheng, then hurried to the fruit stand to buy some fruits.
Qi Xia got on the minibus, intending to give fruit to the old lady, she looked around and saw an old face in the penultimate row.
That face, the left side is uneven, with terrible scars, and the right side is full of wrinkles, against her gray hair, it looks old, her cloudy eyes are full of surprise at this moment, suddenly, she He lowered his head in a panic, avoiding Qi Xia's sight.
The driver was already urging, Qi Xia didn't have time to think, she walked quickly to the old woman, stuffed the fruit bag into her hand, and said, "Auntie, you take these fruits to eat on the road, be careful on the road. "
The old woman tightly grasped the fruit bag with hands like dead bark, nodded heavily, her voice choked up, "Okay, goodbye."
"Miss, I'm going to drive, please get off quickly." The driver urged again.
Qi Xia only had time to say "goodbye" before getting out of the car in a hurry.
On the way home, Qi Xia always felt that something was wrong.
He Liancheng turned his head to see her frowning and thinking, and chuckled, "Honey, what are you thinking?"
"I always feel that something is weird..."
"What's so weird?"
Qi Xia suddenly turned to look at him, and said seriously, "Husband, that auntie, she lives [-] or [-] kilometers away from City A, why did she come here to visit the grave?"
He Liancheng raised his eyebrows, "Maybe the one in the cemetery is her friend."
"Well, assuming what you said is correct... I found out before that the apple plate in front of the grave was overturned, and the apples rolled to the ground. If it was the grave of the old aunt's friend, why did she let those apples roll on the ground? And didn't pick them back up on the plate?"
"Maybe it happened suddenly, she forgot. Wife, are you thinking too much?" He Liancheng felt that the old woman was just an ordinary old man, and there was nothing special about it.
"Perhaps." Qi Xia frowned, "The reason why I think she is strange is because when I delivered the fruit to the car, I accidentally saw her face. I can't tell her true colors, but I always feel that the eyebrows and eyes are somewhat familiar..."
Hearing what she said, He Liancheng also had some thoughts, "She lowered her head all the way, as if she didn't want us to see her face."
A thought popped into Qi Xia's mind, "Honey, tell me, could the old aunt be someone I knew before?"
The corners of He Liancheng's lips curled up, "My wife, don't worry too much about it. If there is a destiny, we will meet her again. You can ask about it when the time comes."
"Well, you're right!"
A month passed in the blink of an eye, Qi Xia almost forgot about it, but something happened suddenly, which made her notice the strangeness of the old lady again.
On this day, she picked up Xiaoyi's three brothers and sisters from school and parked the car not far from the school gate. Every time she waited for the children at this place, they already knew the exact location, so she didn't get out of the car in a hurry.
Sitting in the car waiting for the children, she looked up inadvertently and found an old figure standing across the street, and when she took a closer look, it turned out to be an old woman.
She was wondering when the school gate opened, and a group of children poured out one after another.
The old woman hurriedly hid her body behind the pillar, poked her head out slightly, and saw Xiao Yi and the other three appearing at the school gate, the corners of her lips raised, and a smile appeared in her eyes.
The children chattered towards Qi Xia's BMW.
Qi Xia opened the car door for them, welcomed them into the car, gave some instructions, then got out of the car and ran towards the opposite side of the road.
The old woman followed the children all the time, so when she saw Qi Xia getting off the car, she quickly turned her head back and leaned her back against the pillar, wanting to wait for them to leave before coming out, but she did not expect Qi Xia's voice to appear suddenly In the ear, "Auntie—"
The old woman turned her head stiffly, arched her back, and hid her face.
"Auntie, why are you here?" Qi Xia was full of doubts.
The old woman lowered her head even more, and said in a low voice, "I'm passing by here, just take a look."
"Auntie, may I ask, did we know each other before?"
The old woman's tone was a little flustered, "No, I don't know."
"But, I think you look a little familiar."
The old woman said without hesitation, "You must have read it wrong!"
Qi Xia hesitated for a moment, then suddenly reached out to support her shoulder, trying to make her raise her head to face her, but she was so stubborn that she refused to raise her head.
"Auntie, I want to see your face—"
"No, my face is too scary, it's better not to scare you, lady, I should go, please let me go."
Qi Xia had no choice but to let her go, "Auntie, where are you going, I'll see you off."
"No need—" The old woman didn't want to stay for a moment, leaning on a cane, she walked quickly to the intersection, but her legs and feet were inconvenient, and she almost tripped several times. Her back looked flustered and embarrassed.
Qi Xia inexplicably felt a little sad.She bit her lip, ran quickly to the old woman, and held her arm involuntarily, "Auntie, let me see you off, my car is parked over there."
"No need, really no need—" The old woman struggled a few times, but Qi Xia held her arm tightly, almost dragging her towards the BMW, and she had to give up struggling.
From an angle Qi Xia couldn't see, the old woman's eyes were filled with tears.
Qi Xia helped the old woman into the car, the three children were a little surprised, and the little boy cried out in surprise, "Grandma, have you come to visit us again?"
again?
This word can be described as profound and intriguing.
The old woman rubbed her hands in embarrassment, and explained to Qi Xia, "A few days ago, I sent strawberries to the city, and I stopped by to see the three children."
"So that's the case, Auntie Lao is thinking about it." Qi Xia nodded with a smile, it seems that she also came to visit the children specially today, not "just take a look" as she said just now.
Why does the old woman like three children so much?Qi Xia really became more and more curious.
Through the rearview mirror, Qi Xia saw the old woman stroking Xiao Guai's hair very affectionately, telling the children a story in a low voice, coughed, and asked, "Auntie, where are you going? Are you at the station?"
The old woman paused and said, "Take me to the station, I'm sorry."
Qi Xia sent her to the minibus, watched the car leave the station, and then took the children home. On the way, she asked, "Why didn't you tell me about the old grandma's visit to you a few days ago?"
The three little guys look at me and I look at you. Finally, Xiaobao raised his arms and replied, "Report to my mother. At that time, the grandmother told us not to tell the adults. She also said that she did not have any malicious intentions. She was worried that you would not tell me if you knew about it." Happy, don't allow her to visit us."
Qi Xia was speechless, staring at the three innocent and cute faces in the mirror, "Do you think me and your dad are the kind of unreasonable people?"
The three shook their heads together, their voices were sweet and greasy, "No~~"
"Then you are still hiding it from me?"
Xiaoguai pouted pitifully, "Because the old grandma asked us for a long time, so we agreed."
Xiaoyi asked seriously, "Mum, are you angry now?"
Qi Xia was very frustrated, "Forget it, I'm not angry."
An idea popped up in Qi Xia's mind, she wanted to find out the identity of the old lady, although she also saw that the old lady was not malicious, but she always felt that the old lady was hiding something from her.
That night, she specially went to Xiaobao to inquire about the address of the old lady, and Xiaobao simply drew her a simple map and said, "Mom, are you really going to grandma's house?"
"Well, I always feel that the old lady is hiding something from us, and I want to find out."
"Okay then...Mom, if you get lost, just ask anyone at 'Fu Chenghai''s house, and you'll be able to find it. "
"Fu Chenghai?"
"Well, that's the name of the granny's husband."
"Oh, by the way, I never asked, what's the old lady's name?"
Xiao Bao scratched his hair angrily, "I don't know either."
As a junior, in front of the elders, it would be too impolite for anyone to open his mouth and ask the elder's name.
Qi Xia patted him on the shoulder amusedly, "It's okay, when I get there, I can ask anyone, and I'll be able to find out."
Qi Xia reported her plan to He Liancheng, and before Yubi approved it, He Liancheng made a request that he would send bodyguard Leng Xue to go with her.
"Husband, it's not like I went into a dragon's lake and a tiger's lair, bringing bodyguards, that's too exaggerated, right?" Qi Xia's face was full of dark lines.
He Liancheng was serious, "It's not an exaggeration at all, as long as you are more than ten kilometers away from me, you must bring bodyguards."
Qi Xia worshiped him thoroughly, baring his teeth like a little wild cat, "I said, President Helian, it's safer for you to put an iron chain around my neck..."
He touched his chin solemnly, "Honey, your suggestion is worth considering..."
She rushed forward and rubbed his cheek, "How dare you think about it, I will prepare handcuffs later, and I will handcuff you first!"
He grabbed her mischievous little paw and held it tightly in the palm of his hand. A smirk appeared on his sexy thin lips, "Honey, I didn't expect you to have such a strong taste, but since you like it, I will play with you. We will play with you tonight." How about just trying it out?"
"..." Shameless, she will never be his match.
An hour later, she hid under the quilt with a red face, huddled like a caterpillar, and refused to come out. She just took advantage of his lunch break and came to the company to discuss things with him, but was abducted by him. Her willpower was too strong. Not firm anymore!woo woo~
He Liancheng stood by the bed, neatly dressed, with a lazy smile on his handsome face, his brows were raised, that was the unique high-spiritedness after being full/satisfied, he bent down and hugged the quilt in a bulging ball Zhong, chuckled softly, "Tired?"
She arched her body like a bug, leaned her little head against it, and muttered in a muffled voice, "How can I get out later?"
She was wearing one set of clothes when she came to see him, and the two stayed in the office for more than an hour, and she changed into another set of clothes before leaving, even a fool could guess what they did...
"Come out, don't get bored." He Liancheng pulled the quilt off her head, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were as bright as water. He rubbed her soft hair, "Just walk out, no one Dare to laugh at you."
Tears welled up in her eyes, "They just don't smile in my face..." She believed that such good gossip material, it would be unreasonable not to spread it around.
"Don't mind what others think, as long as we live comfortably." He Liancheng lowered his head and rubbed her forehead, comforting softly, "If you don't want to go out alone, I will accompany you downstairs."
She shook her head quickly, "That will only make things worse, I'd better face it alone. Don't you still have a meeting, go quickly. "
He looked up at her, his eyes were full of tenderness, and the corners of his lips raised slightly, "Is it really okay for you to be alone?"
When he said this, she felt a little embarrassed, "It's okay, I was just complaining casually just now, go and do your work, and leave me alone."
He stroked her face tenderly, "Fool, in front of me, you don't have to understand righteousness, and you don't have to pretend to be relaxed. Wife, sometimes you are so sensible that it makes me feel bad." She said that he likes to see her acting like a spoiled child in front of him, rather than taking care of his feelings, he would rather be wronged.
Qi Xia leaned her head on his shoulder, her heart felt like a hot spring flowing through, it was warm and warm. She knew a long time ago that she did not marry the wrong person, and she was glad that he tied her by his side by forceful means. She was also glad that she made the decision to open her heart to him.
Otherwise, she will miss the love of her life.
In the end, He Liancheng still put one arm around her waist, and sent her downstairs under the eyes of the employees pretending to be busy but actually gossiping.
Xiushui Village, as the name suggests, is surrounded by clear water, and the mountains are filled with spring, which is so beautiful.
Qi Xia stepped on the green grass and walked among the fields, holding a simple map drawn by Xiao Bao in his hand, looking for Fu Chenghai's house.
Leng Xue followed closely behind.
After all, it was the first time to this strange place, so Qi Xia got lost in the end.
On the edge of the field, a seven or eight-year-old child was leading an old scalper. The old scalper was grazing leisurely with its head buried. The child looked at them curiously.
Qi Xia smiled kindly, "Little friend, do you know where Fu Chenghai's family lives?"
The child nodded shyly, and pointed to the hillside, "Cross this hillside, turn right, and you will see a brick house, which is Grandpa Fu's house."
"Little friend, do you know the name of Grandpa Fu's wife?"
The child shook his head, "I don't know, but we all call her Grandma Xia."
Surname Xia?Is it a coincidence?
With a thought, Qi Xia took out a handful of candy from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand, "Thank you, kid."
The child smiled shyly, "You're welcome, Auntie, thank you for the candy."
Qi Xia smiled and patted his head, then walked in the direction he said.
Turning over the hillside, what came into view was a green vegetable field. Several peasant women were picking vegetables in the field, and the parents chatted and laughed.
Qi Xia didn't forget the purpose of her trip, she walked to the ridge of the field, smiled and approached them, "Sister, excuse me, may I ask if Fu Chenghai's family lives here?"
Several women looked up at her at the same time, each pointing to a house in the distance, and smiled honestly, "Yes, it's over there—"
"Okay, thank you." Qi Xia looked at the house following her gaze, and said with a smile, "Sister, may I ask, what is the name of Fu Chenghai's wife?"
The women exchanged glances with each other, and discussed in a hurry, and finally someone said, "We only know her surname is Xia, and she has always been called Miss Xia, but I really don't know her full name. "
Qi Xia felt a little unbelievable, how could she have lived here by herself for so many years, yet no one knew her full name.
Another woman added, "Fu Chenghai's family didn't live here before, and they moved here more than ten years ago. In fact, we don't know much about their family..."
Qi Xia nodded, "Sister, do you know any other relatives in their family?"
The eldest sister looked at her suspiciously, "Who are you? Why do you keep asking about their family affairs?"
Qi Xia smiled, "It's like this. Our children came here for a spring outing more than a month ago. Aunt Xia took special care of them. I came here to thank her."
The eldest sister was relieved, and said with a smile, "So it's like this, the Fu family doesn't seem to have any relatives, except for neighbors and folks, they rarely walk around with others."
Another person said, "They have a son in their family, but he is very incompetent..."
"Hey, Mrs. Wang, don't tell others about those things..."
"I just said that casually..."
From their mouths, Qi Xia didn't get a lot of information. It seems that Fu Chenghai's family is quite mysterious.
In front of him was a one-story red brick courtyard, the courtyard door was closed, Qi Xia raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Is anyone there?" He barked a few times, but no one answered, only the sound of dogs barking in the yard.
It was morning, and perhaps they were all working in the fields.
Qi Xia remembered the Strawberry Garden that Xiao Bao had mentioned.
After asking a few people on the way, she managed to find Fu's strawberry garden.
Outside the shed, an old couple was busy packing strawberries. The old lady sat on a low chair and packed them, while Fu Chenghai carried them with his back bent.
Qi Xia stepped forward, "Uncle, Auntie, I'm sorry."
The old woman continued to do what she was doing as if she hadn't heard what she said. Fu Chenghai put down the box in his hand and turned around, only to see a young and beautiful woman standing in front of him with a slightly startled expression. Then, As if remembering something, his face immediately turned pale.
Qi Xia was also looking at Fu Chenghai. Although his face was already covered with wrinkles, he could vaguely see his appearance when he was young. Just like the old woman, he felt very familiar to her.
Where have you seen it?
Fu Chenghai barely returned to normal, coughed, "Who are you looking for?"
Qi Xia put the two boxes of gift boxes twisted in his hands on the ground, and said with a smile, "Uncle, I am the mother of Xiaoyi and his three siblings. Last month, the children were taken care of by you and auntie, so I came here to express my thanks."
Fu Chenghai rubbed his hands uncomfortably, glanced at the old woman, and said, "That's too polite, my wife doesn't see strangers very much, don't worry about it. Let's go, have a cup of tea at home, and leave some for lunch." Come down and eat."
Qi Xia originally came here to inquire about the situation, so he didn't refuse. He smiled and said, "Uncle, finish this work before going back, I'll help you."
"No, no, no need, anyway, my wife, come on, accompany the guests home, I'll go to the town to buy some food."
"Uncle, regular meals are fine." Qi Xia hurriedly stopped Fu Chenghai, "If you are so polite, I would be ashamed to stay and cause you trouble."
Fu Chenghai smiled honestly, "Girl, you don't know. We don't have any relatives. It's rare to have a visitor. We're happy. It's more than 100 meters away from the town. It's very convenient. You and my wife will go home first. I'll be back soon, girl, let's go too!"
In the last sentence, he was referring to Leng Xue who was not far from Qi Xia.
Qi Zhensheng's expression froze.
The corner of He Liancheng's lips curled up, and he said calmly, "Father-in-law, let's go first."
Qi Zhensheng was startled suddenly, his eyes lit up with joy, and he nodded again and again, "Okay, you go first, I will accompany your mother-in-law."
Qi Xia's expression changed, the corners of his lips were tense, and he wanted to say something, but finally held back.
The fingers of the old woman holding the cane suddenly trembled, her body was unsteady and she swayed, Qi Xia hurriedly supported her, "Auntie, are you okay?"
"I...I'm fine..." Her voice trembled a little.
Qi Xia thought that she hadn't recovered from the illness just now, and couldn't care less about venting her anger with Qi Zhensheng, so she helped her walk out of the cemetery.
Qi Zhensheng looked at the back of the group of them leaving, and finally, he set his eyes on the old woman, his brows were slightly frowned, that thin body was arched, as if carrying a heavy weight, and his whole body exuded sadness And the breath of loneliness will make him feel sad.
The old woman seemed to be very shy of others seeing her face. She lowered her head and shrank herself in a corner all the way, without saying a word.
He Liancheng sent her to the station. At the station, she could take a minibus back to the village. After the couple sent her to the bus, the minibus hadn't started yet. Qi Xia saw many fruit vendors around the station. She whispered a few words to He Liancheng, then hurried to the fruit stand to buy some fruits.
Qi Xia got on the minibus, intending to give fruit to the old lady, she looked around and saw an old face in the penultimate row.
That face, the left side is uneven, with terrible scars, and the right side is full of wrinkles, against her gray hair, it looks old, her cloudy eyes are full of surprise at this moment, suddenly, she He lowered his head in a panic, avoiding Qi Xia's sight.
The driver was already urging, Qi Xia didn't have time to think, she walked quickly to the old woman, stuffed the fruit bag into her hand, and said, "Auntie, you take these fruits to eat on the road, be careful on the road. "
The old woman tightly grasped the fruit bag with hands like dead bark, nodded heavily, her voice choked up, "Okay, goodbye."
"Miss, I'm going to drive, please get off quickly." The driver urged again.
Qi Xia only had time to say "goodbye" before getting out of the car in a hurry.
On the way home, Qi Xia always felt that something was wrong.
He Liancheng turned his head to see her frowning and thinking, and chuckled, "Honey, what are you thinking?"
"I always feel that something is weird..."
"What's so weird?"
Qi Xia suddenly turned to look at him, and said seriously, "Husband, that auntie, she lives [-] or [-] kilometers away from City A, why did she come here to visit the grave?"
He Liancheng raised his eyebrows, "Maybe the one in the cemetery is her friend."
"Well, assuming what you said is correct... I found out before that the apple plate in front of the grave was overturned, and the apples rolled to the ground. If it was the grave of the old aunt's friend, why did she let those apples roll on the ground? And didn't pick them back up on the plate?"
"Maybe it happened suddenly, she forgot. Wife, are you thinking too much?" He Liancheng felt that the old woman was just an ordinary old man, and there was nothing special about it.
"Perhaps." Qi Xia frowned, "The reason why I think she is strange is because when I delivered the fruit to the car, I accidentally saw her face. I can't tell her true colors, but I always feel that the eyebrows and eyes are somewhat familiar..."
Hearing what she said, He Liancheng also had some thoughts, "She lowered her head all the way, as if she didn't want us to see her face."
A thought popped into Qi Xia's mind, "Honey, tell me, could the old aunt be someone I knew before?"
The corners of He Liancheng's lips curled up, "My wife, don't worry too much about it. If there is a destiny, we will meet her again. You can ask about it when the time comes."
"Well, you're right!"
A month passed in the blink of an eye, Qi Xia almost forgot about it, but something happened suddenly, which made her notice the strangeness of the old lady again.
On this day, she picked up Xiaoyi's three brothers and sisters from school and parked the car not far from the school gate. Every time she waited for the children at this place, they already knew the exact location, so she didn't get out of the car in a hurry.
Sitting in the car waiting for the children, she looked up inadvertently and found an old figure standing across the street, and when she took a closer look, it turned out to be an old woman.
She was wondering when the school gate opened, and a group of children poured out one after another.
The old woman hurriedly hid her body behind the pillar, poked her head out slightly, and saw Xiao Yi and the other three appearing at the school gate, the corners of her lips raised, and a smile appeared in her eyes.
The children chattered towards Qi Xia's BMW.
Qi Xia opened the car door for them, welcomed them into the car, gave some instructions, then got out of the car and ran towards the opposite side of the road.
The old woman followed the children all the time, so when she saw Qi Xia getting off the car, she quickly turned her head back and leaned her back against the pillar, wanting to wait for them to leave before coming out, but she did not expect Qi Xia's voice to appear suddenly In the ear, "Auntie—"
The old woman turned her head stiffly, arched her back, and hid her face.
"Auntie, why are you here?" Qi Xia was full of doubts.
The old woman lowered her head even more, and said in a low voice, "I'm passing by here, just take a look."
"Auntie, may I ask, did we know each other before?"
The old woman's tone was a little flustered, "No, I don't know."
"But, I think you look a little familiar."
The old woman said without hesitation, "You must have read it wrong!"
Qi Xia hesitated for a moment, then suddenly reached out to support her shoulder, trying to make her raise her head to face her, but she was so stubborn that she refused to raise her head.
"Auntie, I want to see your face—"
"No, my face is too scary, it's better not to scare you, lady, I should go, please let me go."
Qi Xia had no choice but to let her go, "Auntie, where are you going, I'll see you off."
"No need—" The old woman didn't want to stay for a moment, leaning on a cane, she walked quickly to the intersection, but her legs and feet were inconvenient, and she almost tripped several times. Her back looked flustered and embarrassed.
Qi Xia inexplicably felt a little sad.She bit her lip, ran quickly to the old woman, and held her arm involuntarily, "Auntie, let me see you off, my car is parked over there."
"No need, really no need—" The old woman struggled a few times, but Qi Xia held her arm tightly, almost dragging her towards the BMW, and she had to give up struggling.
From an angle Qi Xia couldn't see, the old woman's eyes were filled with tears.
Qi Xia helped the old woman into the car, the three children were a little surprised, and the little boy cried out in surprise, "Grandma, have you come to visit us again?"
again?
This word can be described as profound and intriguing.
The old woman rubbed her hands in embarrassment, and explained to Qi Xia, "A few days ago, I sent strawberries to the city, and I stopped by to see the three children."
"So that's the case, Auntie Lao is thinking about it." Qi Xia nodded with a smile, it seems that she also came to visit the children specially today, not "just take a look" as she said just now.
Why does the old woman like three children so much?Qi Xia really became more and more curious.
Through the rearview mirror, Qi Xia saw the old woman stroking Xiao Guai's hair very affectionately, telling the children a story in a low voice, coughed, and asked, "Auntie, where are you going? Are you at the station?"
The old woman paused and said, "Take me to the station, I'm sorry."
Qi Xia sent her to the minibus, watched the car leave the station, and then took the children home. On the way, she asked, "Why didn't you tell me about the old grandma's visit to you a few days ago?"
The three little guys look at me and I look at you. Finally, Xiaobao raised his arms and replied, "Report to my mother. At that time, the grandmother told us not to tell the adults. She also said that she did not have any malicious intentions. She was worried that you would not tell me if you knew about it." Happy, don't allow her to visit us."
Qi Xia was speechless, staring at the three innocent and cute faces in the mirror, "Do you think me and your dad are the kind of unreasonable people?"
The three shook their heads together, their voices were sweet and greasy, "No~~"
"Then you are still hiding it from me?"
Xiaoguai pouted pitifully, "Because the old grandma asked us for a long time, so we agreed."
Xiaoyi asked seriously, "Mum, are you angry now?"
Qi Xia was very frustrated, "Forget it, I'm not angry."
An idea popped up in Qi Xia's mind, she wanted to find out the identity of the old lady, although she also saw that the old lady was not malicious, but she always felt that the old lady was hiding something from her.
That night, she specially went to Xiaobao to inquire about the address of the old lady, and Xiaobao simply drew her a simple map and said, "Mom, are you really going to grandma's house?"
"Well, I always feel that the old lady is hiding something from us, and I want to find out."
"Okay then...Mom, if you get lost, just ask anyone at 'Fu Chenghai''s house, and you'll be able to find it. "
"Fu Chenghai?"
"Well, that's the name of the granny's husband."
"Oh, by the way, I never asked, what's the old lady's name?"
Xiao Bao scratched his hair angrily, "I don't know either."
As a junior, in front of the elders, it would be too impolite for anyone to open his mouth and ask the elder's name.
Qi Xia patted him on the shoulder amusedly, "It's okay, when I get there, I can ask anyone, and I'll be able to find out."
Qi Xia reported her plan to He Liancheng, and before Yubi approved it, He Liancheng made a request that he would send bodyguard Leng Xue to go with her.
"Husband, it's not like I went into a dragon's lake and a tiger's lair, bringing bodyguards, that's too exaggerated, right?" Qi Xia's face was full of dark lines.
He Liancheng was serious, "It's not an exaggeration at all, as long as you are more than ten kilometers away from me, you must bring bodyguards."
Qi Xia worshiped him thoroughly, baring his teeth like a little wild cat, "I said, President Helian, it's safer for you to put an iron chain around my neck..."
He touched his chin solemnly, "Honey, your suggestion is worth considering..."
She rushed forward and rubbed his cheek, "How dare you think about it, I will prepare handcuffs later, and I will handcuff you first!"
He grabbed her mischievous little paw and held it tightly in the palm of his hand. A smirk appeared on his sexy thin lips, "Honey, I didn't expect you to have such a strong taste, but since you like it, I will play with you. We will play with you tonight." How about just trying it out?"
"..." Shameless, she will never be his match.
An hour later, she hid under the quilt with a red face, huddled like a caterpillar, and refused to come out. She just took advantage of his lunch break and came to the company to discuss things with him, but was abducted by him. Her willpower was too strong. Not firm anymore!woo woo~
He Liancheng stood by the bed, neatly dressed, with a lazy smile on his handsome face, his brows were raised, that was the unique high-spiritedness after being full/satisfied, he bent down and hugged the quilt in a bulging ball Zhong, chuckled softly, "Tired?"
She arched her body like a bug, leaned her little head against it, and muttered in a muffled voice, "How can I get out later?"
She was wearing one set of clothes when she came to see him, and the two stayed in the office for more than an hour, and she changed into another set of clothes before leaving, even a fool could guess what they did...
"Come out, don't get bored." He Liancheng pulled the quilt off her head, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were as bright as water. He rubbed her soft hair, "Just walk out, no one Dare to laugh at you."
Tears welled up in her eyes, "They just don't smile in my face..." She believed that such good gossip material, it would be unreasonable not to spread it around.
"Don't mind what others think, as long as we live comfortably." He Liancheng lowered his head and rubbed her forehead, comforting softly, "If you don't want to go out alone, I will accompany you downstairs."
She shook her head quickly, "That will only make things worse, I'd better face it alone. Don't you still have a meeting, go quickly. "
He looked up at her, his eyes were full of tenderness, and the corners of his lips raised slightly, "Is it really okay for you to be alone?"
When he said this, she felt a little embarrassed, "It's okay, I was just complaining casually just now, go and do your work, and leave me alone."
He stroked her face tenderly, "Fool, in front of me, you don't have to understand righteousness, and you don't have to pretend to be relaxed. Wife, sometimes you are so sensible that it makes me feel bad." She said that he likes to see her acting like a spoiled child in front of him, rather than taking care of his feelings, he would rather be wronged.
Qi Xia leaned her head on his shoulder, her heart felt like a hot spring flowing through, it was warm and warm. She knew a long time ago that she did not marry the wrong person, and she was glad that he tied her by his side by forceful means. She was also glad that she made the decision to open her heart to him.
Otherwise, she will miss the love of her life.
In the end, He Liancheng still put one arm around her waist, and sent her downstairs under the eyes of the employees pretending to be busy but actually gossiping.
Xiushui Village, as the name suggests, is surrounded by clear water, and the mountains are filled with spring, which is so beautiful.
Qi Xia stepped on the green grass and walked among the fields, holding a simple map drawn by Xiao Bao in his hand, looking for Fu Chenghai's house.
Leng Xue followed closely behind.
After all, it was the first time to this strange place, so Qi Xia got lost in the end.
On the edge of the field, a seven or eight-year-old child was leading an old scalper. The old scalper was grazing leisurely with its head buried. The child looked at them curiously.
Qi Xia smiled kindly, "Little friend, do you know where Fu Chenghai's family lives?"
The child nodded shyly, and pointed to the hillside, "Cross this hillside, turn right, and you will see a brick house, which is Grandpa Fu's house."
"Little friend, do you know the name of Grandpa Fu's wife?"
The child shook his head, "I don't know, but we all call her Grandma Xia."
Surname Xia?Is it a coincidence?
With a thought, Qi Xia took out a handful of candy from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand, "Thank you, kid."
The child smiled shyly, "You're welcome, Auntie, thank you for the candy."
Qi Xia smiled and patted his head, then walked in the direction he said.
Turning over the hillside, what came into view was a green vegetable field. Several peasant women were picking vegetables in the field, and the parents chatted and laughed.
Qi Xia didn't forget the purpose of her trip, she walked to the ridge of the field, smiled and approached them, "Sister, excuse me, may I ask if Fu Chenghai's family lives here?"
Several women looked up at her at the same time, each pointing to a house in the distance, and smiled honestly, "Yes, it's over there—"
"Okay, thank you." Qi Xia looked at the house following her gaze, and said with a smile, "Sister, may I ask, what is the name of Fu Chenghai's wife?"
The women exchanged glances with each other, and discussed in a hurry, and finally someone said, "We only know her surname is Xia, and she has always been called Miss Xia, but I really don't know her full name. "
Qi Xia felt a little unbelievable, how could she have lived here by herself for so many years, yet no one knew her full name.
Another woman added, "Fu Chenghai's family didn't live here before, and they moved here more than ten years ago. In fact, we don't know much about their family..."
Qi Xia nodded, "Sister, do you know any other relatives in their family?"
The eldest sister looked at her suspiciously, "Who are you? Why do you keep asking about their family affairs?"
Qi Xia smiled, "It's like this. Our children came here for a spring outing more than a month ago. Aunt Xia took special care of them. I came here to thank her."
The eldest sister was relieved, and said with a smile, "So it's like this, the Fu family doesn't seem to have any relatives, except for neighbors and folks, they rarely walk around with others."
Another person said, "They have a son in their family, but he is very incompetent..."
"Hey, Mrs. Wang, don't tell others about those things..."
"I just said that casually..."
From their mouths, Qi Xia didn't get a lot of information. It seems that Fu Chenghai's family is quite mysterious.
In front of him was a one-story red brick courtyard, the courtyard door was closed, Qi Xia raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Is anyone there?" He barked a few times, but no one answered, only the sound of dogs barking in the yard.
It was morning, and perhaps they were all working in the fields.
Qi Xia remembered the Strawberry Garden that Xiao Bao had mentioned.
After asking a few people on the way, she managed to find Fu's strawberry garden.
Outside the shed, an old couple was busy packing strawberries. The old lady sat on a low chair and packed them, while Fu Chenghai carried them with his back bent.
Qi Xia stepped forward, "Uncle, Auntie, I'm sorry."
The old woman continued to do what she was doing as if she hadn't heard what she said. Fu Chenghai put down the box in his hand and turned around, only to see a young and beautiful woman standing in front of him with a slightly startled expression. Then, As if remembering something, his face immediately turned pale.
Qi Xia was also looking at Fu Chenghai. Although his face was already covered with wrinkles, he could vaguely see his appearance when he was young. Just like the old woman, he felt very familiar to her.
Where have you seen it?
Fu Chenghai barely returned to normal, coughed, "Who are you looking for?"
Qi Xia put the two boxes of gift boxes twisted in his hands on the ground, and said with a smile, "Uncle, I am the mother of Xiaoyi and his three siblings. Last month, the children were taken care of by you and auntie, so I came here to express my thanks."
Fu Chenghai rubbed his hands uncomfortably, glanced at the old woman, and said, "That's too polite, my wife doesn't see strangers very much, don't worry about it. Let's go, have a cup of tea at home, and leave some for lunch." Come down and eat."
Qi Xia originally came here to inquire about the situation, so he didn't refuse. He smiled and said, "Uncle, finish this work before going back, I'll help you."
"No, no, no need, anyway, my wife, come on, accompany the guests home, I'll go to the town to buy some food."
"Uncle, regular meals are fine." Qi Xia hurriedly stopped Fu Chenghai, "If you are so polite, I would be ashamed to stay and cause you trouble."
Fu Chenghai smiled honestly, "Girl, you don't know. We don't have any relatives. It's rare to have a visitor. We're happy. It's more than 100 meters away from the town. It's very convenient. You and my wife will go home first. I'll be back soon, girl, let's go too!"
In the last sentence, he was referring to Leng Xue who was not far from Qi Xia.
