When Su Qiu and Shen Ling reached home, the sky outside had already darkened.
There wasn't much blame in this glance. In fact, it was more of a complaint … Well, the kind of complaint your wife often gets when she complains about her husband coming home late.
"I texted her." He parked the car and got out. He took two quick steps and took her hand.
Damn it.
Su Qiu swore a few times, but quickly calmed herself down and did not bother about it.
How could she not know that the more angry she acted, the more pleased she got with Shen Ling. He was simply a naughty brat from a neighboring house!
"Didn't Chief Executive Officer like to hold my hand? Then, do you want to hold my hand as well?" Seeing that the man still had not let go of his right hand, Su Qiu simply smiled and extended his left hand over.
Shen Ling ignored her and dragged her into the house.
Su Qiu finally understood why so many people were fighting in the city. Even if it was a little tough and tiring, they would still have to buy their own house.
This is home, the kind of place where you can rest whenever you're tired.
Staring at the warm yellow light inside the house, Su Qiu became lost in thought.
"Sir, you have returned." When Auntie Liu came out of the kitchen, she didn't even have time to take off her apron.
Shen Ling nodded his head, and then casually took off the clothes that Su Qiu took off, and hung it on the rack at the door, then walked over to get her some slippers.
She wanted to refuse, but seeing that he was acting as if it was only right, she just let him take the slippers. She squatted in front of her, took off her high heels, and put on the more comfortable ones.
Shen Ling lifted the shoes that she had changed and put them on the shoe rack, he did not forget to mutter a few words, "I'm afraid I am not used to wearing them."
Su Qiu's nose turned sour, he herself did not know how much she felt sour.
The two of them sat for a while, after Auntie Liu brought the food over and mechanically finished eating, Shen Ling went back to his study to continue working. Su Qiu had nothing to do, so he decided to put on his jacket and go out to take a look.
The weather in A city was currently in a muddled state. It was not cold during the day, but it was still somewhat chilly at night.
"Madame is going out? Do you want to go out for a walk after eating some fruits? " Auntie Liu stuck her head out from the kitchen and did not try to stop her.
Su Qiu liked the way she talked to her. She made her feel that she and Shen Ling were equal, that she wasn't Shen Ling's plaything and that these servants were not sent by Shen Ling to monitor her.
"I'm really free." Su Qiu waved his hand, "Bring the fruits to mister. If he wants to ask about them, tell him that I'm going out and will be back in a while."
Auntie Liu agreed and quickly went back into the kitchen.
Su Qiu did not have her own car, so she thought that it would be impossible for Shen Ling to split himself and drive a few cars, so she might as well drive his black sports car that she did not usually drive in.
When Su Qiu had just gotten her driver's license for her tenth birthday, Father Su had given her a similar car. Although she was an arrogant person, she wasn't like a nouveau riche.
Su Qiu's driving skills did not lag behind, the journey was smooth and she did not bump into her, nor did she become a road killer.
She had no destination, so she finally pulled over to the side of the road, intending to figure out what to do before leaving.
He Cancan called back at this time. After pausing for a moment, Su Qiu picked up the call, "Hello, it's bright."
"Where are you? Have you had dinner? I was just pressed by Fang Tan to finish writing a report. Autumn, do you want to go shopping? " He Cancan fired a string of combo cannon at her, and for a moment, she actually did not know which question to answer first.
She didn't have anywhere else to go anyway. She just went shopping … That sounds good.
When Su Qiu regretted what she had thought just now, an hour had already passed. At that time, He Cancan was already eating an ice cream in front of her.
"Autumn and Autumn, the clothes you're wearing are actually the latest Kalt clothes. This outfit is half a year's salary." He Cancan looked at Su Qiu in envy, but she was not a jealous person, so her attention immediately shifted back to her ice cream.
Su Qiu was also considering this issue.
She had just gone shopping with He Cancan and went to a Kalt store. In the past, Su Qiu's clothes were bought from this store, but after marrying Shen Ling, she did not have this kind of care, she just did not expect that Shen Ling would actually raise her like how Father Su raised her.
"High imitation." Su Qiu thought for a bit, and then said all of a sudden.
She didn't want He Cancan to think that the difference between the two of them was too big. Similarly, the only thing that hadn't changed in the past few years was being low-key.
He Cancan suddenly realized.
That's right, how could newbies like them, who had just graduated, afford the Kalt! If he was like Fang Tan, with a rich dad, it was possible …
He Cancan withdrew her train of thoughts that was getting further and further away, she then patted Su Qiu's shoulders and said: "Qiu Qiu, believe in me, when I earn big money, I will buy it for you!"
Su Qiu burst out in laughter. It was not that she didn't believe her, but she was the first person to say such a thing in the twenty odd years of her life.
"Alright, then I'll be waiting for us to shine." Su Qiu's eyebrows curved into a smile, the two of them were like sisters from their school-days, walking on the road with their arms crossed.
The lights were fading.
Until Shen Ling called Su Qiu, the two of them were still squatting at the side of the street, eating the candied fruits.
"My friend and I are outside." It was rare for Su Qiu to be in such a good mood, even her voice became a bit lighter.
Shen Ling frowned.
Was she lying to herself? After these few years had passed, Su Qiu's friends that were fish in the past were no longer in contact. From the moment the Su Family fell to the present, what other friends could Su Qiu still have to say?
"Are you sure you aren't with Qi Shaofei?" Shen Ling asked with a sunken voice.
Su Qiu, who was originally laughing and wanting to share the interesting news with Shen Ling, suddenly remembered their current relationship.
She nodded and was too lazy to explain. She silently threw the remaining two candied fruits in her hands into the trash can.
"I'm going back now."
