Boss Ji's petite wife

After Bai Lihua left these words, he turned around and went downstairs, leaving only Xia Qiu standing there with a dull expression on his face.

For a long time, Xia Qiu's mind was still buzzing with Bai Lihua's words just now.

When Xia Qiu finally packed up and went downstairs, he saw that breakfast had been prepared by the servants, and Bai Lihua was already sitting at the table eating breakfast.

Xia Qiu shook his fingers, and looked in Bai Lihua's direction with some embarrassment.

"What are you doing standing there? Didn't you understand what I just said?"

Bai Lihua glanced at Xia Qiu, his voice was neither high nor low, but Xia Qiu turned pale suddenly.

"Listen, I understand"

Xia Qiu bit her lip, not daring to look at Bai Lihua anymore, but turned around and went to the cloakroom.

He stood in the cloakroom, looking at the row of clothes hanging inside, his eyes were a little red, obviously the things he had gradually gotten used to doing on weekdays became extremely uncomfortable today.

Bai Lihua watched Xia Qiu's thin figure enter the cloakroom, and stopped eating for an instant. He looked in the direction of the cloakroom and remained silent for a long time before he hurriedly ate the bread in his hand, and then stood up straight.

"Don't accept it."

Bai Lihua saw the servant coming to collect things, waved his hand and said.

The servant nodded respectfully and backed away, and Bai Lihua stepped on his slippers and walked towards the cloakroom.

Opening the door of the cloakroom, he saw Xia Qiu standing on a row of clothes, holding a piece of clothes with one hand, with his head bowed and his back turned in his direction.

"What are you doing?"

Bai Lihua walked in with long legs, staring at Xia Qiu's back.

Xia Qiu suddenly heard Bai Lihua's voice, his back stiffened, he quickly wiped his face with his hand, then quickly turned to look at Bai Lihua, "I, I"

Bai Lihua looked at Xia Qiu's flushed eyes, his heart trembled, but he quickly looked away, raised his arms lightly, and ordered, "Change my clothes."

Seeing this, Xia Qiu began to breathe carefully. He put the chosen clothes aside, and then walked to Bai Lihua's side.

During the process of changing clothes, Bai Lihua kept his head down, watching Xia Qiu's hair whirling.

Xia Qiu didn't dare to raise his head, and kept his gaze lowered. His white and slender fingers were helping Bai Lihua fasten his shirt buttons one by one. He didn't take back his hand carefully until the top button was fastened, trying not to make himself feel uncomfortable. bump into each other.

After everything was tidied up, Bai Lihua straightened his cuffs briefly, and glanced sideways at Xia Qiu.

"Think about whether this will work."

After Bai Lihua said this, he strode away and walked directly outside the villa.

Xia Qiu stared at Bai Lihua's back in a daze, a little lost in thought, just now he was too nervous and uneasy, he didn't understand what the other person said, he just felt that the air just now was condensed.

Xia Qiu came out of the cloakroom, the two servants were still standing in the hall, but they didn't look in his direction, they just stood not far away with their heads down.

He glanced at the direction of the dining table, was silent for a while, then walked over, and simply cleaned up the things on the table.

Today is Saturday, there is no need to go to work, Xia Qiu didn't eat breakfast, just changed clothes and hurried out the door.

The hospital is a bit far from here, and there is still a need to change trains on the way. By the time Xia Qiu arrived at the hospital, it was almost ten o'clock.

After he arrived at the hospital, he went straight to the sixth floor of the inpatient department.

"Xiao Xia is here."

At this time, in the ward, a young doctor in a white coat heard the movement at the door, turned around and saw Xia Qiu, with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Doctor Chen."

Xia Qiu nodded to the other party very politely, and then walked inside.

Xia Qiu's mother was lying on the hospital bed at this time, her face was pale, her lips were slightly dry, her eyes were closed and lifeless.

"It's a bit late today, why, something delayed?"

After Chen Henian put away the notebook, he waved his hand to let the nurse who followed him out, and then asked.

Xia Qiu paused, thinking about what happened in the morning, her face paled slightly, but she still shook her head, "It's okay, there is some traffic jam on the road."

"Alright then." Chen Henian shrugged, then turned around with a smile and walked out of the ward.

Xia Qiu watched the door of the ward close before sitting down on the chair beside the bed.

He would come here every week to see his mother. A few years ago, his mother had a sudden illness. Once she closed her eyes, she never opened them again, leaving him and his sister alone.

Xia Qiu was not in a good mood today, so he didn't tell his mother about the interesting things of the week as usual, but just held his mother's hand and sat quietly, slightly lost in thought.

Not long after, Chen Henian left and came back with a carton of milk and a bag of bread in his hand.

When Xia Qiu heard the movement at the door, she turned her head.

"Doctor Chen?" Xia Qiu let go of her mother's hand and stood up with some doubts in her eyes.

"I just saw that your complexion was not very good, didn't you have breakfast?"

Chen Henian handed over the things in his hands, his eyes behind the glasses were smiling, warm and heartwarming.

Xia Qiu heard the words, looked down at the things handed in front of him, and was slightly taken aback.

"Aren't you hungry?"

Seeing that Xia Qiu didn't answer, Chen Henian smiled, stretched out his other hand and took Xia Qiu's hand to stuff it in.

Xia Qiu was holding the milk and bread, and after a while he said in a slightly embarrassed way: "Thank you, thank you..."

"Thank you, it will be delicious."

Chen Henian withdrew his hands and put them in the pockets of his white coat.

Xia Qiu tightened her grip on the things and pursed her lips.

"Sit down and eat, there's nothing else to do right now, is there?"

Chen Henian raised his chin towards the chair, signaling Xia Qiu to sit down.

Xia Qiu hummed and sat down on the chair next to him, but the hand holding the object still didn't move.

Seeing this, Chen Henian bent down and reached out to take the bread from Xia Qiu's hand, tore open the packaging bag, and stuffed it back into the opponent's hand.

In the same way, take the milk box and insert the straw into the box.

"Ok?"

Chen Henian passed the milk over.

Xia Qiu was very embarrassed, and reached out to take the milk box, but the other party had already opened everything, if he didn't eat it, it would be too much.

"Thank you, thank you..."

Xia Qiu took the milk box, then held the bread, lowered his head and took a bite.

Standing in front of Xia Qiu, Chen Henian looked down at him nibbling the bread obediently, and the joy in his eyes was even more joyful, "That's right, no matter how bad your mood is, you can't make trouble with your body."

Xia Qiu took a sip of the warm milk, raised his eyes just in time to meet Chen Henian's gaze, saw the smile in the other's eyes, felt a little embarrassed, and smiled along with him.

There was a smile on the fair face, and the round almond eyes were curved like the first moon.

Chen Henian raised his hand and rubbed Xia Qiu's head, then withdrew his hand before the other party could react, "Are you eating here at noon?"

"Ah."

Xia Qiu paused for chewing, and nodded seriously at Chen Henian.

"Okay, I see." Chen Henian smiled, then turned and left the ward.

After Xia Qiu finished eating, he threw the packaging bag into the trash can. It was very warm in the ward. He sat in front of the bed and fell silent.

As soon as the ward became quiet, Xia Qiu returned to the original state.

He was a rather stubborn person, and he was not very good at turning corners when he considered a matter. Bai Lihua's attitude towards him in the morning made him walk into a dead end.

He could tell that Bai Lihua was angry, but he didn't know why.

He recalled from the morning to yesterday and even the day before yesterday, carefully recalling everything, but he couldn't find the reason for the change in the other party's attitude.

At noon, Xia Qiu just got up and was about to go downstairs to buy some lunch and come back to eat, but he ran into Chen Henian at the door.

"Doctor Chen."

Xia Qiu paused, a little surprised.

"Are you going to go down for dinner?" Chen Henian asked.

"Well, I bought it and brought it back to eat." Xia Qiu replied.

"Don't bother, do you want to eat together?"

Chen Henian raised his hand and gestured to Xia Qiu with the insulation box in his hand.

"I... Me?" Xia Qiu asked a little uncertainly.

Seeing Xia Qiu's unresponsive appearance, Chen Henian pushed open the door of the ward through the other's arm, and pushed Xia Qiu back into the ward.

"Let's eat together. Although it is a work meal, the taste should not be bad."

After Chen Henian pushed people in, he closed the door smoothly. He walked to the hospital bed, put the insulated box on the table, and opened the boxes one by one.

"No need... I, I'll just go down and buy it myself..."

Xia Qiu looked at Chen Henian with some embarrassment, how could he have the nerve to eat with him.

"You're still being polite to me. Is it like in the morning that you will eat it when I feed it to your mouth with chopsticks?"

Chen Henian turned his head sideways, and said half-jokingly.

When Xia Qiu was told this by the other party, he fell silent for a moment. He didn't know how to reject others, let alone how to accept others' kindness.

"If you feel embarrassed, how about you make a meal and bring it for lunch tomorrow, how about we eat together?"

Chen Henian was in charge of Xia Qiu's mother's illness for so long, so he knew a little about Xia Qiu. The other party was just like a blank piece of paper, not knowing how to accept gifts, let alone how to give back.

Xia Qiu heard the words, paused for a moment, seemed to be thinking about what Chen Henian said just now, his eyes lit up slightly for a while, "Then, then I will bring you something to eat tomorrow..."

"Okay, I'm looking forward to the lunch made by Xia Xiaoren himself."

Chen Henian said, and handed the chopsticks to Xia Qiu in reverse.

Xia Qiu took the chopsticks, the embarrassment in his heart dissipated a lot because of Chen Henian's words, his expression was not as stiff as before, and he even had a smile on his face.

Chen Henian is a very open-minded and talkative person. During the meal, apart from talking to Xia Qiu about the other party's mother's illness, he also talked about many topics with the other party.

Xia Qiu was not a person who could do two things at once, chatting with Chen Henian, the dullness in his heart gradually dissipated, and he could talk to Chen Henian from time to time, and the embarrassment on his face turned into a smile.

— The meal was eaten very slowly. Xia Qiu was not picky about food. Seeing that Chen Henian didn't eat carrots, he took the initiative to ask, "Doctor Chen, don't you like carrots?"

"Shh, this is a secret, you can't tell others." Chen Henian replied solemnly.

Xia Qiu was successfully amused by the other party. The sun shone through the window and shone on Xia Qiu's face, with a rosy and healthy color.
