Chapter 22
Shen Yansheng had been looking for a job for a few days, but he was not particularly satisfied. At that time, it was already mid-July, the weather was hot, Lu Jingce was on a business trip, and she happened to be staying at home for a few days.
I didn’t dare to tell my parents about my resignation, but only said I took a few days off to rest.
Zhou Xiuyun felt sorry for her daughter and said, “It’s better to take a break. When I came back last week, my eyes were all red.”
Last week was when Shen Yansheng set up the show day and night, she smiled and said, “How can it be so exaggerated.”
Zhou Xiuyun said, “Why not.”
After saying that, he looked at his daughter and said, “But you look a little better these days, and your face is rosy.”
Shen Yansheng smiled and thought, Lu Jingce asked the kitchen to cook her various nutritious meals every day, how could she look good.
Thinking of this, she suddenly put down the magazine in her hand, sat up from the sofa, and said, “Mom, let’s go to the vegetable market and come back with some delicious food.”
Zhou Xiuyun was very happy when she saw her daughter coming back, and said with a smile, “Okay, then I’ll change clothes.”
Shen Haihua originally wanted to go with him, but his body was still recovering, so Shen Yansheng quickly held him down and said with a smile, “Don’t go, just rest at home, and my mother and I will come back after shopping.”
Shen Haihua said with a smile: “Alright, then I will steam the rice at home, you two should go back early.”
“Understood.” Shen Yansheng responded with a smile, and took her mother out the door.
In the community where Shen’s father and mother currently live, there is a vegetable market not far away. The mother and daughter went downstairs and walked towards the vegetable market in ten minutes while chatting hand in hand.
When Shen Yansheng was the eldest young lady before, she never visited the vegetable market, but when her mother was sick and hospitalized, in order to cook for her mother, she often went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.
At that time, I was still living on Minghua Road, and there was a vegetable market just a few steps away.
Thinking of that time, she felt a little emotional. Holding Zhou Xiuyun, she asked with a smile, “Mom, when you were hospitalized, was the food I cooked for you particularly unpalatable?”
Zhou Xiuyun said, “There’s no such thing. I didn’t know how distressed I was at that time. When I saw that you boiled soup for me and burned my hand, I hated my body for not being able to live up to my expectations. But then I fell down and all the pressure fell on you.”
Speaking of that time, Zhou Xiuyun couldn’t help but reddened.
Seeing that her mother was sad, Shen Yansheng hurriedly smiled and said, “Okay, mother, isn’t it okay now?”
Seeing a fish seller in front, she took her mother over and said, “Let’s buy a fish and go back to making fish soup. I’m not around and I don’t know if you and Dad are eating well.”
Zhou Xiuyun said: “It’s very good. The aunt you hired is very good at cooking, and it’s much better than mine, and the dishes she cooks every day are very rich. I doubt whether the food I give every day is enough money. .”
Speaking of this, I couldn’t help but ask: “Did you pay your aunt’s food alone again?”
Shen Yansheng was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously said, “No.”
She pays her salary every month and transfers it directly to her mother, so that her mother pays her aunt’s daily food money.
Zhou Xiuyun said: “That’s weird, I see that every time Chen’s mother buys back the dishes are good and fresh, I thought it was you who paid extra for the food alone.”
Shen Yansheng couldn’t help but think of Lu Jingce, suspecting that Lu Jingce arranged it privately.
She smiled, chatted with her mother, and said, “Maybe Chen’s mother can bargain.”
“That’s true.” Zhou Xiuyun said: “Don’t say it, the aunt you found is really good, not worse than the previous aunts, and she knows how to care. Your father is recovering at home these days. very busy.”
Shen Yansheng smiled, feeling somewhat grateful to Lu Jingce. Chen’s mother was hired by Lu Jingce after her father’s accident at the time. He must have checked himself to find such a suitable candidate.
I strolled around the vegetable market with my mother, bought some fresh vegetables, chicken, duck, and fish. When I got home, I bought some fruit at the fruit market next door. Just as she was about to leave, Shen Yansheng suddenly saw a newly opened store next to her. Cloth wholesale store.
As a designer’s professional habit, every time she sees a fabric store, she can’t help but go in and stroll around. She took her mother to the store and said, “I haven’t seen this store before.”
Zhou Xiuyun said: “It’s probably just opened. I didn’t see it when I came to buy fruit a few days ago.”
Although the store was newly opened, Shen Yansheng walked in and strolled around, and accidentally saw the two colors of materials. The color matching of the materials was very refreshing, just perfect for summer skirts.
She asked the price and cut two horses to go home.
After dinner in the evening, Shen Yansheng accompanied his parents to the park opposite the community for a short walk, and didn’t go home until nine o’clock. When I got home, I chatted with my parents for a while. At ten o’clock, I went to the bathroom to wash up and went back to the bedroom to rest.
As soon as he got back to the bedroom and got into the bed, Lu Jingce called. Lying on the pillow, she saw Lu Jingce’s phone, the corners of her lips bent unconsciously, and pressed to answer.
Lu Jingce’s side was very quiet, with a smile in his voice, and asked her, “Are you asleep?”
Shen Yansheng couldn’t help laughing and said, “Sleep, you are talking to a ghost now.”
Lu Jingce smiled and asked again, “What did you do today?”
“Nothing.” Shen Yansheng said: “My parents have been here all the time. In the afternoon, my mother and I went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. After dinner, I accompanied my parents to the park for a walk. At this point.”
Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered the story of her aunt and said, “By the way, Lu Jingce, the aunt you hired for my parents last time, how much salary do you make a month?”
Lu Jingce said, “Why do you ask this?”
“My mother said that Chen’s mother did a good job, the food was delicious, and she knew how to care.” She couldn’t help but ask: “Lu Jingce, is it expensive to hire this aunt? Did you pay more for the groceries in private? Mom said that every time Mommy Chen bought the food, it was fresh and good.”
Lu Jingce smiled and said, “Really? It’s good that my mother-in-law is satisfied.”
Shen Yansheng was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and then reacted, her cheeks flushed instantly, she was inexplicably shy, and said, “Lu Jingce, don’t shout.”
Lu Jingce laughed and teased her, “Isn’t it right? Isn’t your mother my mother-in-law?”
Shen Yansheng said: “What mother-in-law, I didn’t marry you.”
Lu Jingce said with a deeper smile in his voice, “Are you urging marriage?”
“Who urged the marriage!” Shen Yansheng’s cheeks were hot for a moment, her heartbeat felt a little faster, she couldn’t help frowning, and said, “I won’t tell you, I’m going to bed.”
Lu Jingce smiled and said, “Okay, I won’t tease you.”
He added: “I still have something to do here. I don’t think I can come back the day after tomorrow. You can stay at home for a few more days, so that it won’t be fun to go home.”
Shen Yansheng was stunned when she heard the words, and asked, “Didn’t you say you will be back the day after tomorrow?”
Lu Jingce said: “There is a temporary delay, so it is estimated that it will be delayed until next week.”
“Oh.” Shen Yansheng replied softly, and there was a sense of loss in her tone that she didn’t even notice.
Lu Jingce seemed to hear it, and asked her with a low smile, “What’s wrong? Miss me?”
“No.” How could Shen Yansheng admit it and say, “I don’t know how comfortable I am alone when you are not here.”
Lu Jingce laughed and teased her, “You have a conscience, Shen Yansheng.”
Shen Yansheng could hear Lu Jingce teasing her, but couldn’t help laughing, and asked, “Then when are you coming back next week? Are you set?”
“Not yet.” Lu Jingce said, “If you hurry, it will probably be Tuesday or Wednesday.”
Shen Yansheng said, “Then give me a call before you come back.”
Lu Jingce laughed again, teasing her, “What are you doing? Are you coming to pick up the plane?”
Shen Yansheng smiled and said, “I won’t come. Tell me in advance when you come back, so I can move back.”
Lu Jingce smiled and said, “Got it.”
The two chatted for more than half an hour, and they were a little reluctant when they hung up the phone, but Shen Yansheng thought that Lu Jingce would have to work tomorrow morning, and didn’t chat with him for too long. hang up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yansheng held the phone and lay on the pillow, looking at the stars outside the bedside window, the smile on the corners of his lips raised high, and it didn’t fall for a long time.
After Lu Jingce finished his work, it was already Tuesday night. When he came out of the teahouse, Zhao Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to help open the car door.
Getting in the car, Zhao Cheng subconsciously drove the car back to the hotel, Lu Jingce said, “Go to the airport.”
Zhao Cheng was stunned, looked back at Lu Jingce, and couldn’t help reminding, “Mr. Lu, it’s early in the morning, and I’m tired today, why don’t you go back to the hotel to rest for a night, and go back tomorrow morning.”
“No, go to the airport.” Lu Jingce went on a business trip for a week. He didn’t say it, he already missed Shen Yansheng so much in his heart, and didn’t want to wait any longer.
Zhao Cheng’s persuasion failed, so he had to drive the car to the airport.
It was already three o’clock in the morning when I got home, the whole house was pitch black, and there were no lights upstairs and downstairs.
When Lu Jingce came back, he didn’t tell Shen Yansheng in advance, guessing that she was still at her parents’ house and didn’t come back.
He opened the door and entered the house, but he was too lazy to turn on the light, so he took advantage of the moonlight outside the window to get a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator in the kitchen.
It was still very hot in Beicheng at the end of July, and the living room was not air-conditioned, so it was somewhat stuffy.
He drank half a bottle of water in one breath, didn’t bother to stay in the living room, and went straight upstairs.
When he got to the second floor, there was a night light on in the corridor. Because of the heat, he tugged his shirt collar button a little irritably, and pushed open the bedroom door. When he was about to turn on the light, he saw a thin line curled up on the bed by the moonlight. Thin figure.
He stood at the door, and for a moment, he suspected that he thought Shen Yansheng had come up with an illusion.
However, the familiar scent of perfume in the room reminded him that it was not an illusion. The slender figure curled up on the bed was not Shen Yansheng.
He didn’t turn on the light either, walked over to the bed and sat down, and when he saw Shen Yansheng, the corners of his lips unconsciously evoked a smile. He stretched out his hand and gently stroked Shen Yansheng’s cheek. Shen Yansheng was in a daze in his sleep, thinking it was a mosquito biting her, so he raised his hand and patted her subconsciously.
Lu Jingce sneered, raised his hand and squeezed Shen Yansheng’s face, then got up, took the pajamas from the closet and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Shen Yansheng had a bit of insomnia recently because Lu Jingce was not at home. After coming back today, she rarely went to bed earlier. She was dazed and seemed to hear the sound of water in the bathroom, but she was so sleepy, she frowned and didn’t open her eyes for a while, until she felt a warmth Her lips covered hers, she snorted unconsciously, opened her eyes and saw Lu Jingce.
The bedside wall lamp was dim, and when Shen Yansheng saw Lu Jingce, she thought for a moment that she was dreaming.
Lu Jingce was amused by her dull appearance, and pinched her cheek, “Stupid?”
Shen Yansheng suddenly came back to her senses. She was a little surprised, with a smile on her face unconsciously, and asked, “Why are you coming back now? Didn’t it mean that you will only be back?”
Lu Jingce said, “I’ll be back when I’m done.”
He lowered his head and kissed Shen Yansheng again, and asked in a low voice, “Did you miss me?”
Of course I thought about it, and I even lost some sleep.
But Shen Yansheng would never admit it, her lips were kissed, and she responded vaguely, “No…no.”
As soon as the words fell, Lu Jingce’s warm lips kissed her ear, his breath was warm, his voice was lower, and he was **** and sultry, and asked in a low voice, “Again, do you miss me?”
Shen Yansheng felt as if his body had been electrocuted, his toes were curled up, and he was still stubborn, “No… there is.”
Lu Jingce couldn’t help but let out a low laugh, deliberately teasing her, “Is it there or not?”
Shen Yansheng finally couldn’t take it anymore, her face was red and her ears were hot, she gritted her teeth and admitted, “I think about it, okay?”
Lu Jingce laughed. The boredom he had been traveling for the past few days became happy at the moment when he saw Shen Yansheng. He put his arms around her waist and lowered his head to kiss her again.
At three o’clock in the morning, there was no sound at all, except in the bedroom on the second floor, there was boundless spring all night.
