Lu Ke and Gu Zixi were also enjoying themselves in the kitchen. Lu Ke Wei wanted Gu Zixi to teach him a lesson when he found the dishes she had prepared — the Sichuan cuisine and the Xiang cuisine.
Gu Zixi didn't learn how to cook very systematically, but his mother had been a housewife for a long time. She was quite good at cooking, and had learned all her cooking from her mother.
Since the two of them had a common topic when it came to cooking, Gu Zixi said a lot of things about cooking these two dishes. Lu Kewei also said that he would come and find her next time when he was free, so she could teach him a good lesson.
When the two of them had finished cooking, they set the dishes on the table. Ning An Ran carried Ning Jia Tong and put her on the baby stool. Song Zi Xiu went to Ning Jia Yang's room and asked the two children to come out for dinner.
Not surprisingly, the moment Song Zixiu entered the room, he found Song Qingying pestering Ning Jiayang. Ning Jiayang's face didn't show any signs of impatience. He couldn't help but admire this ten-year-old boy.
"Big brother, my dad said he will hurry up and let me go to school as soon as possible." Song Qingying hugged Ning Jiayang's arm all the way as she said with a sickly expression, "But dad said you're in the secondary school while I'm in kindergarten. I'm not in the same place."
Ning Jiayang hurriedly promised, "Although I'm not in the same place, I can come over to see you once I'm out of school."
Only then did Song Qingying regain some spirit. She quickly said, "Then big brother, you have to keep your word."
Ning Jiayang smiled and asked, "When did you go back on your word?"
Song Qingying thought for a moment, then nodded.
"Alright, it's time for dinner." Song Zixiu interrupted their conversation and came over to pick up her daughter. He then told Ning Jiayang to hurry downstairs and eat dinner. Then, he left.
"Dad, didn't you say you were going to buy a house near my house? When are we going to buy it? " Song Qingying asked in her father's arms.
Once again, Song Zixiu felt a little helpless that his daughter was too biased towards Ning Jiayang. He replied, "Dad is still watching. Don't worry." Originally, he could easily deal with the matter of kindergarten with Gu Zixi. He was thinking about whether his baby would attend primary and secondary school in the future or whether he would need to buy a school apartment. Even if for no other reason, it was necessary to keep her daughter's study close to home.
"Anxious? How can I not be anxious?" As he spoke, his face was filled with anxiety.
Song Zixiu was both angry and amused. He quickly carried his daughter to the dining room.
The dishes cooked by Lu Kewei were very suitable for everyone's appetite. They had clearly prepared quite a number of dishes, but they were more or less eaten.
At the table, with the little girl Song Qingying, the atmosphere never turned cold. Ning Jiatong was in high spirits as well. She kept making babbling noises. She didn't know what he was talking about, but she kept smiling.
Even Gu Zixi couldn't help but joke, "Tongtong, is it because there's a little big sister at home today that you're so happy?"
The one who could barely walk after a year old, Ning Jiatong, actually nodded at this moment and smiled even more happily.
Song Qingying actually went along with him and said, "Tongtong, sister really likes you too."
This time, even little friend Ning Jiayang, the nickname of Ice Mountain, was smiling.
After the meal, Lu Kewei and Gu Zixi cleaned up the table together and went into the kitchen to wash the dishes. The two of them shared some experiences in cooking and even made an appointment for the next time.
After cleaning up the dishes, Gu Zixi walked out of the kitchen towards Ning Ran, who was holding his daughter in his arms. He said, "Leave my daughter to me. I'll take her to shower and then sleep."
Ning Xuemo looked in the direction of Lu Kewei. "You're not going to talk to her anymore?"
Gu Zixi hurriedly looked towards Lu Kewei. "Kewei, wait for me for a moment. I'll play with you when my daughter is asleep."
Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Kangwei immediately replied, "I think it's about time we head back. Our residence isn't that far away from here." This villa was originally in the suburbs, so it was naturally impossible for it to be near Song Zixiu's apartment.
Seeing this, Gu Zixi didn't want to keep them any longer, so he sent the three of them out the door.
"Then come back to our house next time when you're free." Gu Zixi pulled Lu Kewei's hand and smiled.
"Alright, I'll be sure to come when I have time."
At this moment, Song Qingying was still coquettishly pulling Ning Jiayang along. Ning Jiayang lowered his head and kissed her cheek before she was carried up to the car by Song Zixiu.
The family of three waved goodbye to Gu Zixi and the others before starting the car and leaving.
Gu Zixi watched the car drive away and felt a wave of emotions surge through his heart.
In the middle of the night, Gu Zixi lay awake for a long time before waking up the man who had already fallen asleep.
Before she had fully woken up, Ning An had already subconsciously hugged Gu Zixi and pulled him into her embrace. He asked in puzzlement, "Why can't I sleep?"
Gu Zixi couldn't help asking, "An Ran, am I supposed to keep pretending that I don't know anything about Kovi?"
After all, we have to think for Zi Xiu. He did all those despicable things in the past, but Wei was also forced to be with him. If she knew everything, then according to Ke Wei's temper back then, she would have left immediately. "
However, Gu Zixi said, "There's no room for cheating in our relationship. I really think it's better for Song Zixiu to be honest with Kewei. Otherwise, if Kewei suddenly remembers everything, he'll definitely hate him even more than when he first knew the truth."
After all, it's their own business. Zi Xiu has done many wrong things, but I know how difficult it has been for him in the past few years, almost like an ascetic. Other than the baby, I can tell that he has nothing to do with it, and if not for the old man's insistence on letting him manage the hotel, I'm afraid he would not even care about the matters of the hotel.
Today, Gu Zixi had carefully observed Song Zixiu's attitude towards Lu Kewei. No one believed him for saying that he didn't love Lu Kewei, but from the very beginning, things were bound to get difficult for them. Also, she remembered a recent list of newly recruited Dr. Returning to the university. There was a person called Shen Qingyang in there, and she didn't know if he was a renaming person or not. She also hoped that it was just a renaming person.
"Before, I really didn't think that Kovi would become like this. At that time, I felt that she had a good and unrestrained personality and was a true bookworm." Gu Zixi thought of the past and felt regret in his heart.
Ning Ran hugged her and kissed her forehead, "Alright, you really shouldn't think about them anymore. I have to go back to the company for a meeting early tomorrow morning. I'll be busy later with Europe, otherwise I won't be able to get up."
Gu Zixi stopped talking, telling him to hurry up and go to sleep. When she heard the regular breathing of a man behind her, she still hadn't slept for a long time. Recalling everything that had happened to Lu Kewei in the past few years, he couldn't help but recall a saying. Love was a debt, and those who owed this person would be repaid by another person.
Other than the hotel, Song Zixiu had been busy looking for a house nearby, and it just so happened that he had a suitable apartment in the residential area of Ning Ran. He found it funny that he and Ning Ran were fated to be together, so he brought Lu Kewei here to have a look.
He knew that Song Zixiu bought the house here because it was convenient for the baby to read. Both of them lived in the same residential area, and the area was about the same size as Ning An's apartment. As for Gu Zixi telling her that he could leave the matter of the baby's studies to her, she told Song Zixiu everything. Song Zixiu felt that there was no need to trouble her with such a small matter.
Just like this, Song Zixiu quickly set up another property and Song Qingying started to go to kindergarten. But Song felt that it was almost the end of the year, so he prepared to send the girl to kindergarten after the new year. Moreover, the new apartment needed to be renovated. This way, if the little girl wanted to go to kindergarten, she would have to wait for a few months.
The weather in the imperial city was getting colder and colder, and Song Zixian was also very busy. Furthermore, Song Qingying's body couldn't let her casually play around in this kind of weather. Most of the time, Lu Kewei stayed at home.
Song Anbang seemed to have nothing to do all day. In the morning, he would go out and exercise, or practice boxing in his little garden at home. The rest of the time, he would raise some flowers and find some old friends to play chess and drink some tea. However, from time to time, he would ask her to go back and accompany him after he had Lu Kewei as his wife.
The old man especially liked to play chess, but after Lu Kewei had played chess with him a few times, he found out that the old man was just a chess basket. When they were in Edinburgh, Qin Zheng was bored and would occasionally pull Lu Kewei into a few rounds. Qin Zheng's chess skills were needless to say, even Lu Kewei was trained by her.
As long as Lu Ke and the old man stayed for a long time, they would probably understand his childish nature, so they would often let him play chess, and sometimes even let the old man win a few rounds of happiness. She had experienced what it meant to be younger and older. She only needed to follow his personality.
With Lu Kewei's good temper, the old man naturally liked it. After being together with her for so long, he even liked to complain about things from the past.
"In the past, I always wanted to have Zi Xiu play chess with me, but he just didn't want to. Then I saw Yuwei, but when I asked her to play chess, she cried, and I wanted to cry. Fortunately, I have a good granddaughter-in-law like you who is willing to accompany me. Zi Xiu, this damn brat, is not good at all. Almost every time, the old man would complain about the same words in front of Lu Kewei.
Once, this was heard by Song Zixiu, who had come to pick Lu Kewei up from work. The latter did not hesitate to mock him, "Grandfather, with your lousy chess skills, even if I win I can't win against you. It's just that my opponent's strength is too weak.
Song Anbang was naturally angered to the point that his beard and eyes were bulging. He scolded, "Speaking to your elders like this, aren't you afraid of the heavens striking?"
Song Zixiu arched his brows and said, "I'm telling the truth. Why should I be afraid?"
Song Anbang was so angry that he couldn't say anything.
Every time the two of them met, they would inevitably say a few words, but Lu Kewei could also see that among the Song Family elders, the only one Song Zixiu respected from the bottom of his heart was this grandfather of his, and among the grandchildren, Song Anbang's favorite was Song Zixiu.
Song Zi Xiu's mother, Su Hongyu, seemed to be very busy. Lu Kewei rarely met her, and occasionally met her. Su Hongyu's attitude towards her was still indifferent, but Lu Kewei could not understand why she treated him with such a strange attitude. However, he was Song Zixiu's mother after all. Lu Kangwei could only think about it and not say it out loud. This was the only worry that Lu Kewei had after he married into the Song Family.
In the blink of an eye, days like this passed. She seemed to be very relaxed, but as the days went by, Lu Kexin still felt that things were not going well. It was as if she had suddenly become a cripple who could do nothing.
One day, Song Yuwei came over to play. Coincidentally, Song Zixiu was not home yet, so the two of them chatted for a while, but it was mostly Song Yuwei who talked about it.
After working for three years, Song Yuwei had quite a bit of success. She was now the head of a department in the magazine and had already run a few successful shows on her own.
