Boss Ji's petite wife

When Xia Qiu returned to the villa at night, Bai Lihua hadn't come back yet. After he entered the door, he changed his shoes and looked around, but no one else was there.

He breathed a sigh of relief, put down his phone in silence, went directly to the kitchen to wash his hands, packed up the ingredients and started preparing dinner.

In fact, he is not good at cooking, the food he cooked in the past was just to fill his stomach, but since he moved here, he began to learn slowly, slowly making things to suit Bai Lihua's appetite.

After Xia Qiu prepared a few dishes and put them on the table, he checked the time, and it was already past 6 o'clock in the evening.

Looking in the direction of the door, no one came back, and there was no sound of a car.

Xia Qiu held the phone, hesitating whether to call Bai Lihua, but the image of Bai Lihua talking to him in the morning flashed in his mind, after all, he didn't dare to make this call, so he could only sit silently by the dining table and wait.

Waiting for the time to pass little by little, the dishes are getting cold little by little.

Xia Qiu's eyes were getting darker and darker. He bit his lips and held the phone tightly with both hands. What he feared most was this anxious waiting.

At this moment, the mobile phone Xia Qiu was holding in his hand rang suddenly, startling him.

He suddenly lowered his head, only to find that it was not Bai Lihua's phone number on the screen, but an unfamiliar local number.

After a moment of silence, Xia Qiu adjusted his mood before swiping the screen to answer.

"Xiaqiu?"

The person on the other side of the phone spoke with a somewhat uncertain tone.

Xia Qiu froze for a moment, feeling that the voice was very familiar, "Doctor Chen?"

"Well, it's me." Chen Henian's voice on the phone was gentle, and he seemed to smile a little.

Xia Qiu was surprised at first why Chen Henian would call him so late, then suddenly thought of something, and quickly asked: "It's my mother..."

"No, no, nothing happened on your mother's side." Chen Henian hurriedly replied when he heard Xia Qiu's voice suddenly become urgent.

After hearing this, Xia Qiu calmed down, and the heart that was raised just now was instantly relieved.

"What are you doing?" Seeing Xia Qiu's sudden silence, Chen Henian asked.

"No... I didn't do anything." Xia Qiu had a pleasant chat with Chen Henian at noon today, so he was not so unfamiliar with him at this time.

"Have you eaten yet?" Knowing Xia Qiu's passive nature, Chen Henian took the initiative to find a topic to chat with.

When Xia Qiu was asked, she raised her eyes to look at a table of cold food, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, "Not yet..."

"It's so late and you haven't eaten yet? What's the matter, what happened?"

Chen Henian's tone could not conceal his concern.

Xia Qiu also felt that his tone just now was not right, and quickly replied: "It's okay, I'm just not hungry."

"Hmm..." Chen Henian pondered for a moment, then smiled lightly and said, "All right, I'll just trust your words for now."

Chen Henian chatted with Xia Qiu again, but he obviously felt that the other party was not very interested.

"That's fine, let's not talk about it, don't forget to bring me lunch at noon tomorrow."

Chen Henian didn't want to force Xia Qiu too much, after all, the other party's temperament was too reserved, and they weren't particularly familiar with each other.

"Yeah." Xia Qiu nodded quickly.

Here, just as Xia Qiu hung up the phone, the door of the villa suddenly slammed, and Bai Lihua walked in from the outside.

Xia Qiu subconsciously stood up, and just raised her foot to walk over, but she put it back the moment she lifted it up, with a hint of timidity.

When Bai Lihua entered, what he saw was Xia Qiu standing by the dining table with a hesitant expression, looking at him without saying a word.

"What are you doing in a daze? I drove away all the servants at home, so you can't do anything?"

Bai Lihua suppressed the irritability in his eyes, and asked coldly.

Hearing this, Xia Qiu's face turned pale. He quickly shook his head and walked over quickly. He reached out to pick up the slippers and put them at Bai Lihua's feet. left foot.

After changing, Xia Qiu stood up again and raised his arms to take off Bai Lihua's coat and hang it up.

During the whole process, Bai Lihua moved his eyes following Xia Qiu's figure without saying a word.

"The dishes are getting a little cold, I'm going to heat them up..."

After Xia Qiu cleaned up everything, she looked up again to see Bai Lihua's gaze, and quickly shifted her gaze and said in a low voice.

Bai Lihua's complexion wasn't very good, but he didn't get angry either. He looked at Xia Qiu's pale face for a long time before humming lightly.

Xia Qiu got a response, and hurried to wash her hands and warm up the dishes.

During this period, Bai Lihua was sitting on the sofa, looking down at his phone, as if he was busy, but in fact he was paying attention to Xia Qiu's every move from the corner of his eye.

The opponent's movements seemed to be much more nervous than usual, even a little frizzy.

Bai Lihua withdrew his gaze, and glanced at his phone with downcast eyes. The reason why he came back so late was because he had an engagement just now, but he had already made it back as fast as he could.

"Eat, eat."

Xia Qiu warmed up the food before walking to the sofa and talking to Bai Lihua.

Bai Lihua didn't take his eyes off the phone, but asked indifferently, "You don't even have a title now?"

Xia Qiu's overlapping fingers tightened slightly, bit her lips, and then cautiously called out, "Brother Li Hua, it's time to eat."

"Ah."

Bai Lihua responded in his nasal cavity, but sat on the sofa without moving.

Xia Qiu stood aside, seeing that Bai Lihua responded but did not move. He didn't know what to do for a while, so he stood there silently.

After another 2 minutes, Bai Lihua looked away from the phone, glanced sideways at Xia Qiu, and then stood up as soon as the phone was put away.

He passed by Xia Qiu, walked to the table, looked at the food on the table, tapped his fingers on the table, "Come and eat."

After finishing speaking, Bai Lihua ignored Xia Qiu and sat down at the dining table to eat on his own.

Xia Qiu heard the words, quickly responded, and then walked over.

During the meal, the atmosphere was so silent that it could no longer be silent, and only the slight sound of the collision of dishes and chopsticks could be heard during the meal.

Bai Lihua had actually eaten outside just now, but when he entered the door and saw Xia Qiu standing at the table waiting, he didn't say anything else after all.

Holding the chopsticks at this time, it was just a show, occasionally raising his eyes to glance at Xia Qiu inadvertently to see how the other party was eating.

He didn't look away until he saw that Xia Qiu didn't seem to have any appetite, and he tapped his chopsticks on the bowl lightly, ending the meal.

Seeing Bai Lihua put down his chopsticks, Xia Qiu knew that the other party had finished eating, so he quickly put down the bowl and chopsticks.

"Go get me the bath water."

Seeing that Xia Qiu was about to pack his things again, Bai Lihua raised his eyelids and ordered lightly.

Xia Qiu snapped his fingers, looked up and saw Bai Lihua's cold eyes staring at him, quickly withdrew his hand, Nuonuo agreed, then got up and walked upstairs.

Normally, Bai Lihua didn't take a bath very much, but today he asked him to turn on the water, presumably because he was tired after a busy day.

Xia Qiu squatted by the side of the bathtub, pressed her hands on the edge of the white bathtub, and was slightly lost in thought.

The water inside rose up on the tank wall little by little, Xia Qiu tested the water temperature, and finally turned off the water.

He got up and walked outside the bathroom, only to see that Bai Lihua had already come up, standing at the door and pulling his tie around his neck.

"I'm going, I'm going to clean up the dishes..."

Xia Qiu didn't know what to say, and felt that Bai Lihua probably didn't want to see him at this time, so he said.

As a result, as soon as he reached the door, Bai Lihua grabbed his arm.

Xia Qiu was taken aback, and quickly turned around to look at Bai Lihua.

When Bai Lihua came to his lips, he paused for an instant, and seeing Xia Qiu's appearance, he let go of his fingers suddenly.

What did he want to do just now?I habitually don't want Xia Qiu to be tired...

"I..." Xia Qiu was suddenly caught, then let go, and opened his mouth, a little at a loss.

"Don't come in again after packing up, don't forget what I said in the morning."

After Bai Lihua said this coldly, he pulled his tie and left it casually, and went into the bathroom.

As the bathroom door slammed shut, Xia Qiu suddenly became short of breath.

— There are two worlds separated by the door, Xia Qiu's eyes suddenly turned red, he didn't know what he did wrong, but Bai Lihua's words and eyes just now made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

He turned around a bit, feeling a little helpless. When he saw the tie on the ground, he curled up his fingers, slowly squatted down to pick it up, smoothed it out, and then turned and walked out the door.

Bai Lihua soaked in the water, listening to the silence outside through the door, with his arms resting on the edge of the bathtub, he closed his eyes tiredly.

This night, he lost sleep completely, until after six o'clock in the morning, he vaguely heard movement in the corridor.

Xia Qiu looked at Bai Lihua's tightly closed door, fell silent for a moment, drooped his slightly tired eyes, and then walked more lightly.

It was almost eight o'clock in the morning, Bai Lihua walked down the stairs with a tired body, and he looked around but couldn't find Xia Qiu's figure.

Bai Lihua frowned, but suddenly remembered after a while, today is the weekend, Xia Qiu will go to the hospital to accompany his mother on Saturday and Sunday.

Thinking of this, the expression on Bai Lihua's face returned to normal. After going downstairs, he walked to the dining table and saw the post-it note left by Xia Qiu.

[Breakfast is in the incubator. I will go to the hospital to see my mother and come back in the afternoon.Xiaqiu]

The handwriting is a little immature, and it looks like you don't write often.

"Little thing, don't you know I'm off today? Where's lunch..."

There was a trace of softness in Bai Lihua's tired eyes, he murmured, put down the note, and went to get breakfast.

Bai Lihua sat at the table and ate breakfast casually, took out his mobile phone and directly dialed the driver's number.

"Come here." Bai Lihua lightly ordered over the phone.

Bai Lihua had two drivers, who were basically on call 24 hours a day. He was the one who said yesterday that he didn't have to come here today, and now the driver was slightly surprised when he received the call.

However, the driver's actions were also very fast. In about ten minutes, he drove to Bai Lihua's villa and waited for orders.

At this time, Bai Lihua had already tidied up and changed his clothes and shoes.

When going out, Bai Lihua tugged at the neckline casually, always feeling uncomfortable without Xia Qiu's help to tie the tie.
