Speechlessly glanced at the water bucket beside him, his mind kept echoing Cheng's mother's words just now, Zhao Lingxi had no choice but to pick up the water bucket resignedly, and wipe the buildings in the backyard little by little.

At noon, the scorching sun was shining, and Zhao Lingxi's forehead was dripping with sweat, and his stomach was grumbling uncontrollably.

But she didn't even wipe half of the entire backyard. She reached out to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and Cheng's mother really did what she said, and didn't prepare lunch for her at noon.

Under the strong sunlight, she felt a little dizzy in her head, but when she thought of the way Cheng's mother and the servants of the Cheng family looked at her, she gritted her teeth and continued to work.

After five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was already in the west, and the sun that set in the west dyed half of the sky in an orange color. There was still the last small garden in the yard that had not been wiped. Beating his sore waist, looking at the last half of the sun's face left in mid-air, his eyes were empty.

When Cheng Huaiying walked into the backyard, she saw Zhao Lingxi's appearance.

His eyes moved slightly, he adjusted his expression, and walked towards Zhao Lingxi gracefully. While walking, he said, "My silly sister-in-law? Did you do all of this? Didn't I tell you? Let you You just learned from Mrs. An, and it's just for show, why are you really doing the work of servants?"?
Zhao Lingxi listened to Cheng Huaiying's words. Although there was nothing wrong with her words, Zhao Lingxi felt that something was weird.

Supporting his waist with his hands, he turned his body around, his eyes were facing Cheng Huaiying's concerned eyes, and he smiled and said: "Anyway, I am idle today, so I just happened to interact with each other."

While talking, her little hands kept hammering her sore waist.

Listening to Zhao Lingxi's words, she saw that there was no trace of reluctance on her face.

Cheng Huaiying took a step closer with a smile on her face, stepped forward to hold Zhao Lingxi's arm, smelling the sweat on Zhao Lingxi's body, a look of disgust flashed in her eyes.

But he said in his mouth: "My good sister-in-law, you see there are so many servants in our Cheng family, how can it be your turn to do these rough jobs?"
After finishing speaking, he pulled Zhao Lingxi to her room pretending to be affectionate: "Go and change your clothes, or else my third brother will come back later and see you like this, and his heart will feel bad again."

"I..." Zhao Lingxi was pushed forward by Cheng Huaiying, turned her head, looked at the bucket still on the spot, frowned slightly and said, "Huaiying, I only have that little garden left, which I haven't cleaned up yet. up".

Cheng Huaiying followed Zhao Lingxi's gaze, and looked at the small garden behind her, and said with a smile: "This is not your job in the first place, it must be that the person who cleaned the backyard today saw you doing it and was deliberately lazy." , I will criticize them later.”

When he was talking, he pushed Zhao Lingxi into her room involuntarily, and said, "Go wash up and change your clothes, or the third brother will come back later..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but her eyes swept over Zhao Lingxi's body and the hall outside.

Looking at Cheng Huaiying's somewhat troubled expression, Zhao Lingxi immediately understood what she meant, nodded with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell your third brother."

After finishing speaking, don't turn around and close the door of the room.

Soon there was a sound of running water in the room.

Cheng Huaiying heard the sound, a smug smile flashed across her face, and when Zhao Lingxi came out, she hugged Zhao Lingxi's arm again, sat with her, and told her about the "before".

When Cheng Huaiqing came back, he happened to see Zhao Lingxi and Cheng Huaiying chatting happily, with a smile on his face.

Interjected: "What are you talking about, you are so happy talking"?
Hearing Cheng Huaiqing's voice, Zhao Lingxi finally came to her senses. Seeing Cheng Huaiqing's figure constantly enlarged in her pupils, what Sister-in-law An said during the day suddenly flashed through her mind, and she felt a little nervous.

Cheng Huaiying watched Cheng Huaiqing walking towards the two of them, stood up quickly, patted the folds on the clothes that did not exist, stretched her waist indifferently, and said, "Third brother, you are back, Then stay with your little wife well, I won't be a light bulb here anymore."

After speaking, he glanced at Cheng Huaiqing and Zhao Lingxi ambiguously, and then walked out.

"Damn girl!" Cheng Huaiqing looked at Cheng Huaiying who was walking by, said something affectionately, and strode towards Zhao Lingxi.

"Cuckoo..."

Seeing Cheng Huaiqing walking towards him, Zhao Lingxi suddenly became nervous, and his stomach let out a growl.

The sound of "cuckoo" is especially loud in this airy room.

Cheng Huaiying heard a voice behind her, and her body, who had already stepped out of the door with one foot, suddenly paused.

Cheng Huaiqing walked to Zhao Lingxi's side, held Zhao Lingxi's small hand with a big hand with concern in his eyes, and asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you eat again today?"
Zhao Lingxi glanced at Cheng Huaiying who had already reached the door, and unconsciously pulled her little hand out of Cheng Huaiqing's, but Cheng Huaiqing's big hand was like two pliers, pinching her little hand, and she couldn't pull it out at all. .

He could only say apologetically in his voice: "I ate, but, but, I'm hungry again now."

After finishing speaking, she lowered her head a little shyly, and her shoulder-length hair fell down slightly, covering up the grievance in her eyes that no one could see.

When Cheng Huaiying heard Zhao Lingxi's words, she let out a long sigh of relief, turned her head, and said pretending to be reproachful: "Sister-in-law, you were hungry just now, why didn't you tell me? You see, now that my third brother is back, Those who didn’t know thought I was abusing you.”

Hearing Cheng Huaiying's slightly reproachful voice, Zhao Lingxi raised his head slightly, rubbed his hungry stomach with his small hands, and said with some embarrassment: "No, no, it's not your fault, it's because we had such a good time chatting just now. Forget about the fact that I'm hungry."

Seeing Zhao Lingxi's embarrassed expression, Cheng Huaiying patted her chest on purpose, glanced at Cheng Huaiqing who was half squatting in front of Zhao Lingxi, and said briskly, "Third brother, you heard me, I didn't intentionally abuse my third sister-in-law." ".

After speaking, he cast a gorgeous wink at Cheng Huaiqing, turned around and continued walking outside the house.

In the empty hut, the sound of Cheng Huaiying's high heels colliding with the ground was particularly loud.

When the sound of high heels went away, only Cheng Huaiqing and Zhao Lingxi were left in the room.

Zhao Lingxi's eyes fell on the pair of big hands holding her small hands, and said with some embarrassment: "You, you, I..."

Hearing Zhao Lingxi's hesitant voice, Cheng Huaiqing straightened up with a smile, put her little hand to his mouth, kissed her lightly, then rubbed her hair with a smile, and said, "Aren't you hungry? Let's go!" I'll take you to dinner."

As he spoke, his big hands wrapped around Zhao Lingxi's shoulders, and with a little force on his arms, he brought Zhao Lingxi up from the bed.

Not to mention, fortunately, after being told by Cheng Huaiqing, Zhao Lingxi's stomach growled even more violently.

In the small room, the sound of her stomach growling kept echoing. Zhao Lingxi looked at Cheng Huaiqing, who was smiling warmly beside her, and lowered her head shyly.

In Zhao Lingxi's heart, one side is what Mrs. An said to her today, "Do you think that once you marry into a wealthy family, you will be able to leap into the dragon's gate? Don't daydream, I advise you to follow me to learn some crafts, and later you will learn from the Cheng family's house." If you go out, you won't starve to death." On the other hand, it was Cheng Huaiqing's gentleness to her in the past two days.

It was as if there were two little people living in my mind, arguing constantly.

When he walked to Cheng Huaiqing's car, Cheng Huaiqing put Zhao Lingxi in the car as usual, and drove to a small Chinese restaurant.

When the car stopped at the entrance of the restaurant, it immediately attracted many people to watch. Zhao Lingxi glanced through the car window. Outside the small restaurant, he turned his head and looked at Cheng Huaiqing who was wearing sunglasses beside him. A flash of light flashed in his eyes. Confuse.

However, Cheng Huaiqing had no intention of answering Zhao Lingxi's doubts. After he put on the sunglasses, he changed them out of nowhere. A pair of sunglasses of the same style as the one on his face, he put on for Zhao Lingxi gently, and took the lead Get out of the car.

He helped Zhao Lingxi out of the car again.

Although both of them are wearing sunglasses, they can't hide their handsome faces. Instead, the sunglasses add a touch of mystery to them. People can't help but want to take away the pair of sunglasses to see what is hidden behind the sunglasses. Eyes are worthy of the few faces that are exposed outside.

Cheng Huaiqing had long been used to the attention of the crowd, and he didn't care about these gazes at all. He put his big hand on Zhao Lingxi's shoulders and walked straight to a small box on the second floor of the restaurant.

As soon as the waiter saw the two people coming in, he immediately followed behind eagerly. After the two people sat down on their seats, he handed over the menu in his hand.

Cheng Huaiqing looked at Zhao Lingxi who was looking at him with a puzzled expression on the opposite side, without even looking at the menu, he casually reported the names of a few dishes, and then asked the waiter to wait.

After the waiter walked out, Zhao Lingxi said, "Do you love sweets? Why are all the dishes you ordered sweet?"
Hearing Zhao Lingxi's question, Cheng Huaiqing's deep eyes flickered, and he reached out to get a cup of tea for Zhao Lingxi, put it in front of her, and smiled mysteriously: "Try it, the tea in this family is not bad."

After speaking, he poured himself another cup of tea and sat back in his seat.

Seeing that Cheng Huaiqing didn't intend to explain to her, Zhao Lingxi didn't ask any more questions. Under Cheng Huaiqing's signal, he reached out to pick up the teacup in front of him, and took a sip gently.

As soon as the tea entered his mouth, a fresh fragrance instantly spread between Zhao Lingxi's lips and teeth. He narrowed his eyes and enjoyed the taste of the tea.

Cheng Huaiqing looked at Zhao Lingxi's expression of enjoyment, with a doting smile on his face, a thought flashed in his heart, just stood up, he wanted to stretch out his hand to scrape Zhao Lingxi's small bridge of nose, the suit jacket hanging behind him, on the left side But the bag lit up blindly.
