Can't wait to change players?
I looked around warily. But there was no one else.
It seems to be my imagination.
"Sure." The waiter put the cake on the table and opened the box.
The moment the box opened, I smelled the familiar, startling aroma of amber again, and my heart leaped.
I immediately leaned close to the cake and sniffed it. The corner of my eye twitched.
This time it wasn't my imagination. It's light, but I'm sure it is.
Seeing my face stiffen, the waiter thought something was wrong with the cake, so he asked nervously, "Yes, is there something wrong with it?"
Taking a deep breath, I tried my best to calm my thumping heart as I said calmly, "There are some problems, I want to meet your West Point Division."
"Huh?" It was unknown if it was because I said there was a problem with the cake or if I requested to see the West Point Division, the waiter was very surprised. Blinking his eyes twice, he stammered, "Then I'll go and ask. Please, please wait a moment." After saying that, he rushed to the kitchen.
I clenched my hands and stared in the direction of the kitchen, my heart pounding.
Before long, the waiter and a middle-aged foreigner in a white chef's uniform were walking toward me. My taut nerves relaxed and I laughed at myself.
However, he immediately became suspicious. If it wasn't for him, how could he explain the amber incense?
I am an amateur at jewellery, but an expert at such daily products as perfumes. This piece of amber fragrance with udder wood is definitely not a popular product for sale outside. It's specially made.
Just as I was thinking this, the waiter and the foreigner were already in front of me.
"Madam, this is our West Point Division." The waiter gestured to the foreigner beside him, who nodded politely at me and spoke a long string of words in French.
I didn't understand, and I didn't understand either. All my attention was focused on my sense of smell. When I smelled the amber scent on his body, my heart dropped.
With a relaxed and joyful smile, I praised the West Point Division a few times in English before leaving with the cake.
Originally, Qiao Chenfei planned to leave after delivering the cake to the restaurant, but Qiao Chenfei's foster mother insisted to stay as much as possible, saying that he hadn't seen me in a long time and that I must stay and eat. It was hard to refuse, so I agreed. So, he called Lou Shaotang to inform him. At first he was silent for a few seconds, then he said "ok" and told me to call him after it was over. He came over to pick me up.
Qiao Chenfei's plane is a bit late, so he hasn't arrived yet. I will be with his foster mother and father, as well as his brother, chatting and drinking tea while waiting. Everyone had a tacit understanding to not bring up the matter of me marrying Lou Shaotang and becoming his eldest sister-in-law, but to discuss other topics.
"It's been so many years since I last saw you. You are becoming more and more mature and beautiful." Just like when I was in love with Qiao Chenfei, Qiao Chenfei's foster mother smiled warmly at me.
I poured some tea into her cup and replied smilingly, "Auntie, you too. You're still so young."
Qiao Chenfei's foster mother pushed the melon seeds dish in front of me, then laughed and exclaimed, "I'm not young at all, I'm old."
I put down the teapot and looked at her. "No way. You look a lot younger than your peers," I said sincerely.
I'm not flattering her. Qiao Chenfei's foster mother was a doctor, and normally he cared for his health, so he took good care of himself. He looked even younger than Xia Peiyun. The most important thing was his temperament and self-restraint. It was unknown how many times higher his level was compared to that straw bag.
I sometimes think that if Qiao Chenfei hadn't gone astray when he was young, he probably wouldn't be so outstanding right now. He might even be on par with Lou Cheng, a prodigal son or a sinister villain.
"I heard from Chen Fei that Uncle went abroad to lecture a while ago?" I asked my foster father, who was sitting beside Qiao Chenfei's foster mother. His adoptive father was a director of Haicheng University, and he was often invited by famous institutions abroad to give lectures.
"Yeah." Qiao Chenfei's foster father nodded, pushed at his glasses, and then shook his head and sighed, "Sigh, I'm too tired. "Now that I'm old, I might as well stay at home and study."
I agreed. "That's right. The flight took 10 hours. We travelled a long distance. Let alone you, we are tired as well."
Just as he finished speaking, his brother asked me: "Oh yeah, Sister Tu Ying, after hearing that Little Yu is studying in France, I also plan to study there, but I have not decided whether to go to France or Germany, do you think France is good?"
"That depends on what you learn. Little Yu learned to cook slightly, so France is better. "What about you?"
"I study mechanical engineering." Just like Qiao Chenfei, his little brother was also a bookworm.
"That would be better in Germany." I sipped my tea and smiled awkwardly. "You should ask your brother about this. Actually, I don't really understand it either."
Just as he was speaking, Qiao Chenfei pushed open the door and entered.
Seeing me, he was obviously startled, and immediately became extremely surprised and happy, "Xiao Ying, I thought you wouldn't be eating here."
"I left it for her." His foster mother walked up to him, her smile softening. He took the windbreaker and hung it on the hanger.
Qiao Chenfei smiled gratefully at his foster mother, then turned to the waiter and said: "Waiter, serve the dishes." His voice sounded excited. He sat down on the seat next to me and wiped his hands with a towel.
Sitting back at her original seat, Qiao Chenfei's adopted mother stared fixedly at Qiao Chenfei's somewhat thin face, her face full of pain. "Xiao Fei, what have you been busy with recently? Another day, Mom will give you some soup to make up for it. "
Then he said to me, "Tu Ying, it's not good to see your complexion and drink together with you." Sighing, half complaining and half feeling helpless, he said, "You youngsters are too engrossed in your work to pay attention to your health."
Qiao Chenfei laughed, "Alright, mother's soup is the best. I love it. " Turning to look at me, a smile blossomed on my face that I hadn't seen in a long time.
Although he had known Lou Family for a long time, one could tell that he loved his adoptive parents more. From him, I finally understood the phrase "the grace of breeding is over."
Hearing Qiao Chenfei's praise of his culinary skills, his foster mother laughed even more happily.
I also laughed along with her and praised her. "That's right, auntie's cooking skills are indeed very good. I also like to drink. When I have time, I want to learn a few moves from you."
"Alright!" Qiao Chenfei's foster mother was extremely happy, "If you want to learn, aunty will definitely teach you all the secret skills."
"Alright."
During the conversation, all the dishes had been served, and everyone raised their cups, wishing Qiao Chenfei's adoptive mother a happy birthday. As they were all in a good mood, the meal was extremely enjoyable.
After eating, I wanted to call Lou Shaotang, but Qiao Chenfei said that it wouldn't be troublesome, he's going back to the Garden anyways, and told me to go with him. I thought about it, it's already so late, Lou Shaotang was tired from working all day, so he agreed.
Qiao Chenfei said that he wanted to gift it to me. Actually, I know that he had another reason for doing so, that he wanted to talk to me about the matter that I did not finish this morning. But I didn't want to talk about it, so I took the initiative to change the subject before he could say, "I ran into Yvonne on my way to get the cake."
As if he didn't hear anything, Qiao Chenfei didn't react at all and continued to drive.
I pursed my lips. "Chen Fei, are you and Yvonne …"
If it was any other person who heard what I just said, they would definitely not know what to ask, but he immediately understood.
Her gentle face stiffened, and her expression became extremely gloomy. There was even a hint of regret and anger on it.
I was sure Yvonne wasn't lying.
"What's going on? "Why are you with her?" I stared at him, puzzled.
Qiao Chenfei's hands held tightly onto the steering wheel, and because of using too much strength, the veins on the back of his hands bulged. After a moment of silence, he said, "She drugged me."
"How could she? How could she do this?"
I was angry. I didn't think that Yvonne would use such a despicable method. What makes me feel even more speechless is that this method is usually used by men to women, but she
Qiao Chenfei was not surprised, he snorted: "What can't she do?! In order to get me, she even dared to kill someone.
His voice was sad and sad, and I couldn't help feeling sorry for him again.
"Forget it, as a man, you won't suffer a loss." I slapped my face with my hand, and though I was angry, it had already happened, so I tried to dissuade him.
I deliberately used a joking tone. However, not only did Qiao Chenfei not relax, his expression became even more serious, "I didn't do any safety measures."
"Are you worried that Yvonne won't eat the pill?"
The possibility was very high. No, it's not very big, it's definitely.
Yvonne loved Qiao Chenfei so much that she had purposely gotten into a relationship with him. How could she possibly kill the chance to bear his child? She wanted to use her child to tie him up!
"How could it be such a coincidence? I got pregnant just once." I smiled easily and pretended it was no big deal. There seemed to be no other way apart from this comfort.
"I hope so." Qiao Chenfei sighed, his tone was negative.
I really want to ask him, what if Yvonne gets pregnant? But seeing that he was so worried that he didn't want to add to his worries, he swallowed his words back down his throat.
Just as the car drove into the Garden, they saw Lou Shaotang's car heading straight towards us. Qiao Chenfei immediately pressed his horn twice and stopped. Lou Shaotang also stopped the car.
I got out of the car, walked to Lou Shaotang's side, and said, "Hubby, it's so late, where are you going?"
Lou Shaotang looked at Qiao Chenfei who was on the opposite side of the carriage, and his face was slightly unsettled, "Why aren't you answering the phone?"
Surprised, I took out my cell phone and turned it off automatically. This has often happened recently.
"My phone is broken. It shut down automatically." I put the phone back in my bag.
Lou Shaotang stared at me in silence for a few seconds.
I sat in the car, expecting him to drive the car back to the garage, but instead I drove away from the Garden.
"Where are you going?" I asked him doubtfully.
He didn't answer me. He drove on, fast, as if venting some kind of emotion.
I'm not a fool. He must be because I didn't listen to him. I called him and came back in Qiao Chenfei's car. I was angry. He explained, "I was afraid that you would be tired, so I didn't ask you to come pick me up."
"Are you afraid that I'll get tired, or that I'll disturb your date with an old lover?!" Even though he was trying his best to suppress his voice, Lou Shaotang could not suppress the anger in his tone.
"I'm speechless, why does he think this way?!" I've gotten in Qiao Chenfei's car before, but he didn't say anything. Why are you so angry today?
"It's just a free ride, don't let your imagination run wild." There was a fire, but I didn't want to fight, I said patiently.
Lou Shaotang sarcastically snorted, "Hitchhiking? Didn't they go to see their parents? Why, are you unable to wait any longer and are preparing to switch people?! "
I was startled, the little flame from before flared up, "Lou Shaotang, what are you crazy about?!" I said angrily: "What is my relationship with Chen Fei now, don't you know?!"
"Heh, Chen Fei, you're calling me quite affectionately. That's what you used to call him in bed? "
I looked at him in utter disbelief.
His angry face was filled with a few hints of mockery, and the corners of his eyes were twitching violently.
"Heh ~" I laughed angrily, "Lou Shaotang, what qualifications do you have to question me!? "I don't know who it is, but Ke Er is calling her so intimately now. Did you call her that before in bed as well?"
When I returned his words to him, he choked and said with an embarrassed expression, "So you're taking revenge on me?"
"What do I take revenge on you for?" Speaking of the matter between him and Zheng Keer, my heart started aching, but my face still had a mocking smile, "Did I hug Qiao Chenfei or give him a son?"
"Creak ~ ~ ~"
The sound of a car screeching through his eardrums cut through the quiet night sky.
