At 3: 20 P.M., the nurse in charge of her mother's ward called Pei Qingcheng to tell her that he had just gone to see Mrs. Pei and was crying bitterly while holding her in his arms.
He even asked the special guardian to send a message to Pei Qingcheng, saying: "Little sister, I'll take care of you and mother in the future!"
In other words, his brother would not live lightly anymore.
Pei Qingcheng was feeling extremely relaxed, as a smile appeared on her face.
This was probably the first time she had laughed in Zhuang Shengxiao's dream. Housekeeper Hu and many other maids were hiding in the kitchen to watch her.
Today, my wife personally went to the kitchen to cook for mister, this is a miracle in the world.
Ding Te was very nervous, sending a bunch of messages to remind him of this.
Give her what she needs, and then disappear, giving her and me plenty of space.
Pei Qingcheng busied herself in the kitchen. She knew how to cook. When she was alone in England, she had to cook because the food from the country of corruption was really unacceptable.
He liked fish, shrimp, and seafood, which was exactly what she liked to eat.
There was a small aquarium behind the kitchen with some seafood in it.
Pei Qingcheng scooped up two green crabs and prepared to make a curry crab. Then, she scooped up a red and green spot steamer to make a seafood soup and two vegetables for a delicious and nutritious dinner.
When Nightingale left the company, it was exactly five-thirty.
It was rare for them to not have to work overtime, so the company's upper echelons were all surprised.
Nightingale was a workaholic, so the other higher-ups had to keep him company.
No one had as much physical strength as he did. Sometimes, even after an all-nighter, he would still be able to have a refreshed meeting the next day.
Therefore, those who could stay by Ye Wen's side for a long time were all dragons and phoenixes.
The car carried Nightmare to the manor. When they passed a cake shop, NightAndDay suddenly said, "Stop here."
Ding Han was not surprised at all. I must be buying a cake for my wife to eat.
"Master, how about I go buy it?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he felt that he was being a little superfluous, so he stayed in the car and waited.
In Ding Han's impression, this lord had never bought anything before.
He wondered if the people in the cake shop would go crazy if they recognized Nightingale and bought the cake herself.
After a while, he returned to the car. Suddenly, Ding Han could smell the smell of gas leaking out.
durian!
I hate the smell of durian, but I bought a durian cake!
Needless to say, it was her wife's favorite food.
The kitchen of Zhuang Sheng and Morning Dream belonged to Pei Qingcheng today.
It had been a long time since he had cooked like this, carefully preparing a meal for someone.
The fish had been steamed for ten minutes and there were only five minutes left.
As soon as the curry crab left the pot, the seafood soup was already bubbling, and two more vegetables would be a success.
Suddenly, she felt that the kitchen was extremely quiet. The servants who had helped her earlier were completely silent.
Her intuition made her turn around. Sure enough, she saw Nightingale at the entrance of the kitchen, who had just returned from work.
He was dressed in a black suit and overcoat. A dark purple tie with a silver stripe was probably the only bright spot on his clothes.
Even through the heat that was slowly rising from the steamer, her tired eyes were still able to pierce through her body and become as sharp as bone.
Although he had hidden his piercing gaze from her, it was still sharp.
Pei Qingcheng suddenly thought of Yin Ha's words to her, "I have no secrets in front of Ye and he can see through me with a single glance. Such a person would definitely be able to control the entire world."
Then, now, three years after Yin Ha's death, Ye Wen had obviously taken the world in his hands.
Pei Qingcheng wiped her hands on her apron and tried her best to sound casual as she said, "I'll stir-fry two vegetables."
Nightingale suddenly walked over to her. Only then did she notice that he was holding a handful of birds of paradise in his arms. They were her favorite flowers.
For a man like Ye Xiu to hold a flower in his arms was truly quite unexpected.
She just didn't want to owe him anything, so she paid him back today purely because he found a lawyer for her brother and let him see her mother.
In her eyes, it was a debt repayment. In her eyes, it was the first official date between the two of them.
Pei Qingcheng received it and smiled, "Thank you."
Although Pei Qingcheng was not a sincere person, her smile was stronger than the orange bird in her arms.
Just a moment ago, he suddenly saw Pei Qingcheng with her back facing him, wearing an apron and busying herself in the kitchen. In that thousandth of a second, he had an illusion that he and Pei Qingcheng were the most ordinary couple in the world.
When he came home from work, she was busy in the kitchen, waiting for him to come home for dinner.
If anyone else knew that Ye Xiao had such a simple wish in his heart, would they shatter their teeth?
Pei Qingcheng smiled and passed the flower to the person beside her, "Help me insert it in."
"Yes, ma'am."
"I'm going to fry a duck oil pea seed. You go out first." Pei Qingcheng started to boil the pot of oil. Suddenly, she took off her jacket and handed it over to Ding Han. She then took off her apron and wrapped it around herself.
Pei Qingcheng looked at him in surprise, "What?"
"Don't let the hot oil splash you." He deftly picked up the spatula and threw the emerald green pea seedlings into the pot, causing the hot oil to crack against the water-filled pea seedlings.
She didn't expect that Ye Wen would know how to cook. Pei Qingcheng leaned on the kitchen door and looked at him.
She really didn't know anything about sleepiness, not at all.
The two vegetables were quickly done cooking. The servants served the dishes and left the dining room one by one.
Ding Han was also living in the village and daydreaming, but today he could only go to the employee dining hall for dinner.
There were four dishes on the table, one seafood soup.
Yellow, red, green and white. The table was covered with a pink-checked tablecloth that was beautifully arranged.
Nightingale had also changed. She wore a black suit with a white shirt and a brown bow tie.
He really treated this ordinary dinner as a date, and Pei Qingcheng had no choice but to return to her room to change into a white dress.
When she went downstairs with Nighteyes, she saw herself in the mirror set into the wall. She and Nighteyes were standing in perfect unison.
She ducked her head and hurried down the stairs and into the dining room.
There was a bottle of wine on the table, already awake and in an ice bucket.
Pei Qingcheng was about to stand up to pour the wine, but was held back by Ye Xiu, who took the initiative to hold the bottle of wine in his hands.
"Can you drink?" Ye Wen's tired gaze indistinctly swept over her neck.
Pei Qingcheng immediately thought of the aftereffects of too much alcohol the night before. She subconsciously touched her neck. Today, the little strawberry had already dimmed down, that was why she put on the clothes that exposed her neck.
Her face reddened. "Curried crabs don't deserve red wine."
The crimson red liquid slowly flowed out from the bottle and flowed into the wine cup in front of Pei Qingcheng.
However, she only managed to pour half of it. Pei Qingcheng's alcohol tolerance was actually quite good, it was just that her mood was so bad that she would easily get drunk during those few days.
The wine was poured and the dishes were in front of them. The two of them sat opposite each other.
When Pei Qingcheng heard the sound of her own heartbeat, why was it beating so fast?
Was it because she was worried that her heart was beating so fast that she was able to eat dinner quietly and peacefully with her enemies during such a long period of time?
Trying to stay calm, she picked up a curried crab and placed it on the plate. "Try it."
Nightingale lowered her head and ate the crab. Suddenly, she raised her head and smiled, "It's very delicious."
Pei Qingcheng rarely saw a tired smile on his face. In the instant of his smile, this man who caused so many people to tremble in fear was actually like an innocent child.
However, this feeling only lasted for a short moment, before Pei Qingcheng had a taste of it as well.
Her craftsmanship did not falter. Yin Ha used to love to eat her curried crabs, saying that he would never have enough.
Then, without any warning, she thought of Yin Ha. She took a deep breath and tried her best to temporarily put him aside. Then, she raised her glass of wine towards Ye Ci, "Thank you for your help. I know that a meal from me is nothing, but this is all I can give you."
"A priceless treasure." Nightingale raised her own glass and gently clinked it with hers.
Pei Qingcheng was stunned, was her meal a priceless treasure?
She laughed at herself and drained her glass.
After he finished drinking, he handed the empty wine cup to Nightmare. "Give me some more."
Ye Wen felt a little tired, but he still poured her another half cup.
After drinking a few cups of wine, a warm feeling slowly rose from her lower abdomen to her face. She felt that her face was a little hot, so she put the cup against her face to make it a little more comfortable.
Pei Qingcheng was slightly intoxicated, and a smile appeared on her face as well. Her eyes glimmered as she looked around in anticipation.
Nightingale stared at her without blinking. Suddenly, she stretched out her hand to support her leaning body.
She giggled. "This red wine tastes really good."
Pei Qingcheng was drunk, and in three and a half cups of red wine, she had been drunk.
"Sit down. I'll get you a cup of hot water." Nightingale helped her into a chair.
"I'm not drunk. Do you think I'm that easily drunk?" Pei Qingcheng stopped smiling. Although her eyes were unfocused, she was still conscious.
I remember now. It wasn't the first time we talked on the phone. I remember when I called Yinha's dorm room, and it was you who answered, but you pretended to be Yinha and talked to me for a long time, so I couldn't recognize that it wasn't YinHai's voice.
She still remembered what happened seven years ago.
Ye Wen stared sleepily at the girl in front of him. How long had it been since he last saw her smile like that?
Like a child without a heart.
The first time I saw her in front of that famous sculpture at school, she was talking to her classmates and laughing up and down, as if the sun were gathering around her.
Nightingale put down the glass of wine in her hand and walked over to her. She squatted down and gently pinched her chin with two fingers, pulling her face closer to his.
On Pei Qingcheng's usually pale face, two red clouds flew up as she half-closed her eyes. Mist shrouded her eyes as her long eyelashes blocked her view.
Her tired thumb caressed her smooth skin, her straight nose, and her soft, moist lips.
She did not resist, only the drunk Pei Qingcheng would not shy away from him and resist him.
Pei Qingcheng raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Why are you so close to me? Don't recognize me? "But I recognize you, Nightmare." She touched the tired hands on her face and said, "These hands are the hands of the House of the Chaotic Storm."
"Finally, you got drunk and didn't take me for someone else." Ye Wen murmured as he pressed his lips against Pei Qingcheng's.
