Chapter 57 Avoiding Her
Chapter 57 Avoiding Her
I nodded in agreement, but Lin Qiuran clearly didn't accept my perfunctory response.
He actually used his wife, Wu Qian, to scare me, saying, "God, if you don't show up, I'll have Wu Qian call you."
"He's become quite talkative now. If you're not afraid, you'd better be prepared."
That's his wife, and he actually used her to scare me, which made me both laugh and cry.
Later, Wu Qian called him and asked him to bring some roasted chestnuts back before we parted ways.
I received a text message from Song Yafei right after I parted ways with Lin Qiuran.
She told me she was back from her business trip and was going home for dinner, and asked me where I was.
Her words reminded me of Qiu Ran and his wife.
In the past, I was just like Lin Qiuran, happy to receive a call from Song Yafei, and I wanted to rush to her without thinking.
Whatever she wants to eat, I'll immediately go buy the groceries and then cook it for her myself when I get home.
But now when I hear she wants to eat it, I get annoyed and don't want to cook or put in the effort.
I agreed to Song Yafei's request and then went to the hospital for a follow-up examination by myself.
After a thorough examination, the results were largely the same as before.
This time, however, the situation seemed more serious, and the doctor advised me to be hospitalized immediately.
However, given the current situation, I cannot be hospitalized and can only choose conservative treatment with medication.
I went home as soon as I left the hospital.
When I got home, Aunt Lin was already in the kitchen preparing a meal.
I opened the refrigerator directly, and there were some of Song Yafei's favorite dishes inside.
She called me specifically to say that she wanted to eat what I cooked.
Aunt Lin could tell that I was planning to cook myself, and she smiled with undisguised delight.
That's understandable. I haven't cooked in a long time since I saw Song Yafei give the dishes I made to Yu Chengliang.
Aunt Lin suggested going out to buy groceries, but I stopped her, saying, "This is enough. We can just have dinner. I'll cook, you can rest."
The word "make do" made Aunt Lin pause for a moment.
In the past, I treated Song Yafei's meals with the same care that a royal chef would give to the emperor; I never neglected them.
Meeting Aunt Lin's questioning gaze, I simply smiled nonsensically.
Aunt Lin refused to rest.
I took the food out of the refrigerator, and she immediately took it to wash.
He kept muttering, "How can employees rest while the boss works? Madam really enjoys your cooking, so I'll help you."
Aunt Lin witnessed my happiness with Song Yafei, and also my conflict with Sun Yafei.
While washing the vegetables, she advised me, "Sir, you and your wife have feelings for each other. Women need to be coaxed. If you coax your wife more, maybe things will be fine."
Hum...
Over the years, whenever conflicts arose, I always chose to appease them without complaint.
But what was the result?
Moreover, there is an insurmountable chasm between us, which cannot be resolved by simply coaxing us.
I couldn't explain these things to Aunt Lin, so I just pretended to have heard them to avoid her nagging.
I made all of Song Yafei's favorite dishes, and when there was only one dish left, someone rang the doorbell.
Just then, Aunt Lin went upstairs to get something, so I had to turn off the stove and go open the door.
I guessed it was Song Yafei, but I didn't expect him to come back so soon.
As soon as I opened the door, Song Yafei, just like when we first got married, threw herself into my arms.
Just like before, every time she came back, this is how I would greet her.
No, there are still differences.
What was different was the fragrance in her black hair.
It's not the shampoo we usually use at home.
But this smell is somewhat familiar to me; I've smelled it before, and it's quite unique.
Upon careful reflection, I realized it was the scent of Yu Chengliang.
I realized they might have always been together.
Was she on a business trip with Yu Chengliang, or was she on a date with him?
When he came back, he acted as if nothing had happened and hugged me.
A chill ran through me, and I felt a bitter taste in my mouth.
I think I should admire her more and more for her ability to move between two men so skillfully.
She put her luggage at the door and took off her coat to go inside.
"What should we eat tonight? I haven't been able to get used to the food outside these past few days, so I'm craving your cooking."
"I can't wait to come back and have your cooking. Assistant Luo is getting annoyed by my nagging."
I took her suitcase into the house and placed it next to the sofa.
"It's still the same dishes you like. Just wait a little longer, there'll be another plate ready soon."
I went into the kitchen, and Song Yafei followed me in.
The prepared dishes were placed on the warming board. She selected one or two items and put them directly into her mouth with her hands.
After finishing the meal, he nodded repeatedly, "That's right, that's the taste!"
I used to think she looked as cute as a child.
Now, whenever she acts strangely, I start wondering what her purpose is. What kind of storm is brewing next?
While I was cooking, I moved to the side, trying to get as far away from her as possible.
Unexpectedly, Song Yafei was behaving strangely today.
I took a step to the side, and Song Yafei followed closely behind.
She looked into the pot and exclaimed with delight, "It's spicy stir-fried crab! I love this the most, I haven't had it in ages!"
It was made to be her favorite dish.
But my stomach couldn't handle the cold or the spiciness.
I know what she likes, but she doesn't know what I can't eat.
I don't know when it started, but I seem to feel very averse to her getting close to me.
Like now, when she gets close to me, I instinctively move to the side, but it seems she noticed.
The person who was just a moment ago was happy suddenly changed his expression and tone, "Zhang Tian, what do you mean? Are you avoiding me?"
I pretended not to hear what she said, focusing all my attention on cooking.
Whether she wanted to verify something or not, she moved even closer.
At that moment, my instinct was to move to the side a little more, but my willpower suppressed my instinct and I didn't move.
This barely dispelled Song Yafei's suspicions.
I took the opportunity to tell her, "You should go out first. The kitchen is smoky, and you don't want to smell like that."
Perhaps seeing that I had almost finished preparing the dishes, she didn't say much and turned around to bring out the cooked dishes one by one.
She told me that she had sent Aunt Lin to the building next door.
I didn't say much.
The dishes were served, I ate some rice, and then I peeled the shrimp and took out the crab meat.
These were all fed into Song Yafei's mouth.
I used to do it this way, it's like a habit I've had for thousands of years, and it's really hard to change it in a short time.
Soon, a small mountain of shrimp shells appeared in front of me, and the plate gradually emptied.
Song Yafei was eating happily when she suddenly picked up a shrimp and brought it to my mouth.
I froze for a moment, and my body instinctively recoiled backward.
Song Yafei's face darkened. "You really were avoiding me, it wasn't just my imagination."
He's quite the businessman, with keen observation skills.
