After the divorce, the boss doted on me

Advertisements and jokes on Valentine's Day are all over the Internet all day long. She has always paid attention to it, but she just didn't take it seriously. These days, she and Gu Mochen are tired of being together, and every day is like Valentine's Day. She didn't realize it at all. On this day, they need another grand treatment.

Tan Man froze for a moment, a little innocent and a little guilty: "I... know."

"You know?" He came over, pulled the chair she was sitting on, put his hands on the back of the chair, and looked down at her.

As the strong air pressure approached, Tan Man instinctively leaned back, raised her head, and winked at him: "I really know, but, it's just that I thought, how could a busy person like you, lawyer, spend such a small time with me?" It's the girl's day, so, so I agreed to Qiao Ning."

Gu Mochen nodded, straightened up, filled a bowl of porridge for himself, and drank it himself.

"Don't get lost." Tan Man stretched out her hand and tugged at his sleeve, and said with a smile, "We still have half a day left."

Gu Mochen snorted, and looked up at her in frustration: "When did you make an appointment with her in the afternoon?"

"She leaves work at two o'clock and has an appointment at three o'clock."

"Well, then I'll take you there then."

Tan Man pursed her lips: "Then what are we doing today?"

"rest at home."

"Rest at home?" She widened her eyes, "What about your original plan?"

"Just rest at home."

"Really?"

The other party nodded calmly.

Tan Man cut out: "Since there is no arrangement, then I will go out with Qiao Ning, why are you looking so disappointed."

He swallowed the porridge in his mouth and said, "resting at home is also a kind of appointment, but you are going to break the appointment now."

"Okay, then I'll make it up to you."

Gu Mochen raised his head and looked at her with interest.

She thought for a while: "How about I make you a delicious meal at noon?"

He raised his eyebrows: "OK."

After breakfast, the two of them went downstairs to the vegetable market in the community, bought a fish, bought some lean meat, and picked out some ingredients for side dishes.Along the way, with a smile in her eyes, Tan Man walked around the vegetable market with her lover, which was one of her top ten compulsory items in love. This feeling was like experiencing the normal life after marriage in advance.

Back home, Tan Man asked Gu Mochen to sit on the sofa and wait for food, then turned around and went into the kitchen to get busy.

Gu Mochen kept laughing without saying a word, standing by the kitchen door as if waiting to watch a show, the preparations before cooking made her a little bit at a loss, he probably guessed her level.

"Don't force yourself, go wash your hands, and take the dishes out of the disinfection cabinet." Seeing that she was holding a knife and was about to strike at that piece of lean meat, Gu Mochen walked over from behind, rolled up his sleeves and took it from her hand. Li took over the job.

Tan Man felt unwilling and refused to give in: "I can do it!"

"I know you can, but I'm really hungry." While talking, Gu Mochen had already started to cut the meat, his movements were skillful and fast.

She glanced sideways and groaned: "It's not good for you, you despise me naked."

Gu Mochen stopped what he was doing, raised his eyelids and looked at her: "I love you so much."

Hearing this, Tan Man pursed her lips, trying not to show her happiness too obviously: "Then make it clear, it's not that I can't, it's you that won't let me!"

"Yeah." Gu Mochen nodded with a smile on his lips, "I won't let you!"

In the end, the agreed compensation turned out to be that Gu Mochen cooked three dishes and one soup in the kitchen by himself.

"Don't you always have Aunt Chen? How did you learn your cooking skills? Have you been specially trained by New Oriental?" Tan Man held a bowl of fish soup and drank it with great relish.

"Is it delicious?" Gu Mochen asked modestly.

Tan Man smiled sweetly, and her mouth was even sweeter: "It's delicious, and it tastes like love."

"I couldn't afford to hire an aunt at the beginning." He said, "When I just graduated, I suffered from stomach problems after eating fast food. When I realized it, I learned to make some simple ones by myself. Later, I was busy with work and didn't have time to study cooking skills. , until now I can only cook these home-cooked dishes."

"I really want to travel through time and space to go back and see you a few years ago, what kind of superhuman beings you were, taking care of Xiaobei while working."

He smiled bitterly: "I'm in a hurry, I can't bear to look back."

……

After the meal, the two cleaned up together and put the dishes and chopsticks into the dishwasher. It was almost noon.

"Sleepy or not, do you want to sleep for a while?" Gu Mochen asked casually.

Tan Man was inexplicably ashamed, and immediately shook her head: "Not sleepy."

He smiled, didn't care, and sat on the sofa with her in his arms. Tan Man leaned against his chest, holding the remote control, aimlessly changing channels.

"Have you had any problems with your ears recently? Do you need regular checkups?" Gu Mochen rested his chin on the top of her head, stroking the pinna of her left ear with his fingers.

Tan Man stopped what she was doing, and the screen stopped on the Science and Education Channel, showing Animal World.

Ever since they became a couple, the topic of ears had never been brought up. Sometimes Tan Man would think about it too much. He kept silent, whether he was avoiding it or really didn't care, but she never had the right opportunity to ask.

"There's nothing wrong with it. Generally, you don't need to go for an inspection." She looked up at him, "What's wrong?"

"If you want to check in the future, I will accompany you."

She thought for a while and asked, "Do you still remember that one time when we went to Book City to buy materials for Xiaobei's New Year's party, you said that if you had a choice, you would not find a partner with defects."

Gu Mochen guessed that she would ask such a question, he lowered his head and pecked her temple, and let her go: "Wait for me for a while."

Tan Man stared blankly at him as he got up and walked back to the room, and came out again after a few seconds, holding something in his hand.

Sitting cross-legged next to her again, he spread his palms: "Remember this?"

In the broad palm, there is a pocket button, pink star shape, familiar but can't remember what it is.

"The first night you came here, I was drunk."

When he said this, Tan Man suddenly said: "I remembered, this is mine!"

Gu Mochen twitched his lips and nodded: "I still can't remember what I did to you at that time, did I tear it off?"

"What do you think?" Tan Man snorted.

"Do you need me to apologize?" He smiled slyly, "But I don't want to apologize, but I want to thank you, maybe this little star has been leading me to you."

She was dazed.

Gu Mochen's expression became serious: "So far, I think that there is nothing wrong with pursuing perfection. I admit that I have hesitated, contradicted, and timid about your ears, but looking at Xiao Bei I get cheerful day by day, watching this house gradually become more lively, and my life begins to have other expectations besides work. That expectation is you. I can no longer restrain my heart longing for you, even if your ears can't hear you."

Tan Man frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Maybe, it's not because I like it, it's just because I helped Xiaobei and brought some changes to your life, do you feel... grateful?"

Hearing this, Gu Mochen couldn't laugh or cry: "I can still tell the difference between feelings and gratitude."

"..." She opened her mouth slightly, then closed it again, not knowing what to say for a moment.

He stretched out his hand and hugged her tighter: "I like you, whether you can hear it or not, I like it, my perfectionism, it has completely failed on you, what I see in my eyes is Your beauty."

"Don't worry anymore, huh?" He brushed away the black hair around her ears, revealing her small ears completely, and Gu Mochen gently kissed them, "You don't need to cover it up, it's really beautiful .”

Tan Man burrowed into his arms, facing his sweet words, she was really powerless to resist.

After a moment of tenderness, she raised her head and reached out to him: "Should you give me back my buttons?"

Gu Mochen smiled, and put a small box in her hand from behind.

"I'll exchange this with you, and the button is mine."

Tan Man looked at the boxy box in her hand, and was startled, her first reaction was to think,

Could it be a ring?
Valentine's proposal?
Will the lawyer's speed be a little faster?
Does she accept it, or not?

Gu Mochen laughed: "Don't think so complicated." He opened the box for her.

Although it wasn't a ring, it was enough to surprise her.

A pair of star-shaped pink diamond stud earrings in the same shape as her buttons lay quietly in the deep purple flannel box. At first glance, they really looked like stars in the sky, smiling at her with twinkling twinkling.

"The last time I went to Hong Kong on a business trip, I saw it at the airport for the first time, and I wanted to buy it as a gift for you. Do you like it?"

When he went to Hong Kong, they didn't seem to be together yet.

Tan Man hesitated for a moment: "I like it, but it's too expensive."

The smile on the corner of his mouth is deepening: "Valentine's Day gift."

"But I didn't prepare a gift." After Tan Man finished speaking, she suddenly thought of the shirt she bought with Qiao Ning before New Year's Day. She didn't dare to give it away, so that it was forgotten in the closet later, "No, I also I prepared a gift for you and put it at home, and I will bring it to you when I go back later."

"Are you going back in a while?"

"Come back." She tugged at the clothes on her body, "I didn't take a shower last night, I feel uncomfortable."

……

An hour later, the black car drove into the old community where Tan Man lived. Perhaps because of Valentine's Day, more than half of the parking spaces in the yard were empty.After parking the car, the two of them walked towards the stairs. Tan Man cuddled up to Gu Mochen intimately. She wished she could hang on him. Gu Mochen smiled indulgently.

As soon as they reached the eaves, the iron door on the first floor opened with a bang, and Xue Yuelan walked out carrying an insulated box, and met the two of them head-on.

"Aunt Lan!"

Tan Man stopped and shouted enthusiastically.

Gu Mochen also stopped in his tracks,
When the eyes fell on Xue Yuelan's face, the corners of her mouth that were originally raised froze on her face, and her complexion instantly sank.

"It's Manman, I haven't seen you in the Chinese New Year." Xue Yuelan's eyes naturally fell on Gu Mochen who was next to her. Yes, boyfriend?"

Tan Man didn't notice Gu Mochen's change, and nodded generously: "Yes, boyfriend."

Although Xue Yuelan felt a little regretful, she was also happy for her. Looking at Gu Mochen, she boasted, "You are so handsome, are you a local?"

Gu Mochen turned his eyes away a second before her gaze moved over.

"Yes, native."

"That's good, I have a root here, so I can take good care of you."

Tan Man raised her head with a smile, and glanced at the people around her, only to see that his face was always glanced to the other side, as if a little impatient, she tugged his arm lightly, Gu Mochen turned to look at her, with a slight frown between his brows.

She was a little puzzled, her smile immediately subsided, she paused, and said, "Aunt Lan, we still have something to do, so we'll go up first."

Xue Yuelan glanced at the serious Gu Mochen again, and responded awkwardly.
