Chapter 124
"It's hard for you to cook for such a large table with your own hands. It must be very tiring," Xiao Ji rubbed Cheng Shuiyao's wrist with some concern, "There's no need to be so grand next time."
"I'm just idle at home. Why don't I make some food?" Cheng Shuiyao waved her hands and didn't take it to heart. Instead, she suddenly remembered something and looked up at him happily, "That's right.
, I have implemented some new things in the restaurant, I will take you to see them later."
"Have you come up with any good ideas?" Xiao Ji glanced at Cheng Shuiyao in surprise and said with a smile, "Then I won't go and see you. I'll wait for you to give me a surprise."
"You believe in me so much, so you're not afraid that I'll mess things up?" Cheng Shuiyao raised her neck in flattery, her tone a little more embarrassed.
Although she was almost honest about this matter, she couldn't speak too fully. If she screwed up, she wouldn't be able to explain it easily.
"It's okay. Our family has a big business and can withstand your troubles. If you mess up this restaurant, I will have another restaurant for you to run." Xiao Ji waved his hand, smiled and approached Cheng Shuiyao, and patted her head.
What kind of bossy speech is this!
Cheng Shuiyao screamed in her heart and felt like pink bubbles were rising all over her body.
However, due to her apparent reserve, she coughed lightly and barely suppressed the raised corners of her mouth.
"Eat quickly, the food will be cold in a while," Xiao Ji took the lead in picking up the chopsticks and started eating without teasing her.
It's been a while since I've eaten Cheng Shuiyao's cooking, but now that I'm eating it, I feel like her cooking skills have improved again.
"Is it delicious? This is my newly researched dish, and you are the first one to taste it." Cheng Shuiyao pointed to the plate of dishes he had just picked up, looking at her expectantly, waiting for him to give it to her
A satisfactory answer.
"It's delicious, smooth and tender in the mouth, with a sweet aftertaste, but it's not overwhelming, it just has a faint fragrance," Xiao Ji said his evaluation of this dish seriously without being perfunctory, with a serious look on his face.
Who can handle a man with such details?
The expression on Cheng Shuiyao's face was a little distorted. She couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.
"Look at your look," Xiao Ji shook his head, knowing in his heart why she smiled like this, feeling a little excited.
"I'm sorry, let's eat quickly!" Cheng Shuiyao turned her head away in embarrassment, pretending that nothing happened, but her reddish face revealed her true thoughts.
Xiao Ji didn't overdo it at all, he just clicked and the purpose of the internship was achieved, so he picked up the chopsticks again and started eating seriously.
After finishing the meal, both of them were a little exhausted, so they went to the back for a walk hand in hand.
"It's been a long time since I've been here to play on the swing." Cheng Shuiyao's eyes lit up when she saw the swing, and she ran over and happily sat on it.
Seeing how happy Cheng Shuiyao was, Xiao Ji stood behind her with great discernment and reached out to push her.
Cheng Shuiyao started swinging instantly, and the swing got higher and higher.
However, she didn't feel any fear. Looking at the scenery in front of her, she was so excited that she couldn't speak.
"Is this high enough?" Xiao Ji was a little worried and didn't dare to let her swing too high. He stretched out his hand to control the height a little.
"Yeah," Cheng Shuiyao nodded, enjoying the oncoming breeze and even closed her eyes.
She believed that with Xiao Ji by her side, nothing unexpected would happen to her, so she closed her eyes and enjoyed everything without any scruples.
Seeing her so relaxed, Xiao Ji couldn't help but smile knowingly.
Although the days apart were not long, he still missed Cheng Shuiyao a little.
Now that I finally got back to him, I still wanted to spend a little more time with her.
After playing like this for a while, Cheng Shuiyao got tired and returned to the house with unfinished content.
After the two bathed separately, one sat on the soft couch and the other sat at the table, each doing his or her own thing.
"Yao'er." Xiao Ji suddenly spoke, his expression indescribably serious.
"What's wrong? Did something happen to the Prime Minister again?" Cheng Shuiyao subconsciously thought it was the Prime Minister's side. Her expression became visibly anxious. She didn't even bother to put on her shoes and jumped directly to Nie Yuanheng's side.
"It's okay over there," Xiao Ji was afraid that she would be cold, so he hurriedly hugged her into his arms, lowered his head and said, "The wedding before was very rushed, and I didn't give you the due etiquette. Now I have returned to the capital.
Well, why don’t we do it again?”
"this……"
The expression on Cheng Shuiyao's face was stunned, and she didn't know how to agree for a moment.
Although she secretly wanted a wedding of her own, she also understood that the current situation simply did not allow them to hold a wedding in such a public manner.
There were many people at that time, and if a spy, assassin or the like got mixed up, it would be easy to cause trouble.
Seeing Cheng Shuiyao's hesitation, Nie Yuanheng's eyes darkened and he said with some confusion, "You don't want to?"
"No," Cheng Shuiyao shook her head and directly denied his speculation. She sat up straight and spoke slowly, "I think this is not the right time. Think about it, the Prime Minister is still staring at us eagerly. We can't take it lightly.
."
"You don't have to worry about the Prime Minister's affairs. I will naturally arrange good people for him," Xiao Ji didn't expect it to be for this reason. He was helpless and a little moved at the same time.
"Our wedding must go through a lot of procedures. If the Prime Minister's people get mixed up in any step, we will be in danger." Cheng Shuiyao didn't want to nod, and persuaded him earnestly to let him give up the idea for the time being.
It doesn't matter when the wedding takes place. Anyway, they are already a couple in name, so it doesn't matter whether there is this level of formality or not.
The most important thing right now is the Prime Minister. This person is like a time bomb that may explode around them at any time.
"Your worries are not unreasonable," Xiao Ji helplessly hugged Cheng Shuiyao tightly and extended a hand to cover her feet, "Then I'll do as you say, we won't have a wedding now, but don't worry,
I will definitely give you a glorious wedding from now on."
"I believe you," Cheng Shuiyao nodded, suppressing the loneliness in his eyes, and leaned close to Nie Yuanheng.
At night, the white clouds roll in and relax, and the whole land becomes silent.
Cheng Shuiyao slept peacefully on the couch, with a faint smile on her face.
The next day, the sun was shining brightly.
Cheng Shuiyao got up amid a burst of shouting, and when she woke up, she realized that she had almost slept until midnight.
"Madam," Xiaoyun was really helpless, "did you forget that you have to go to the restaurant today?"
This can be said to be a word that awakens the dreamer.
Cheng Shuiyao stood up instantly, wailing and washing up.
