After Zhao Qian got up, Mrs. He hurriedly gathered around him and asked patiently and in detail with a smile on his face: "I have helped him sort out the clothes he will bring this time, and other things are also ready."
Zhao Qian said lazily: "I'm tired." He sat down at the dining table. There were hot milk and today's newspaper on the dining table.
Li Wei was still busy with his own affairs in the study. Zhao Qian felt that Li Wei's attitude was obviously much colder when he came back this time. Although the two had been married for more than half a year, they had only been together for less than two weeks. They both said that a break was better than a wedding, but he didn't feel it at all. Instead, he felt that Li Wei's heart was getting farther and farther away from him.
Thinking of this, Zhao Qian felt a little depressed. Could it be that she was still blaming Li Jianbo for not discussing the investment with her? Zhao Qian decided to have a good chat with Li Wei. Thinking that Li Wei had been in Beijing for so long and didn't even have any friends, and rarely went out, he wanted to go out with her.
"Hey, do you want to go out with me?" Zhao Qian stood at the door with his hands in his pockets, still looking lazy.
Li Wei didn't have much interest and said lazily: "Forget it, I don't want to go anywhere."
"Don't be like this. I'm only at home today. I have to leave early tomorrow morning. I don't know when I'll come back next time. So no matter what you ask for today, I will promise you..."
Sister-in-law He heard these conversations outside and curled her lips secretly.
Zhao Qian personally chose clothes for Li Wei to wear when going out, and also encouraged Li Wei to put on makeup. It was half an hour before I was ready to go out.
Li Wei was changing shoes at the door, and Mrs. He hurriedly came up and said, "Come back early at noon, and I will make Mr.'s favorite braised prawns."
Li Wei turned to look at Zhao Qian and asked, "Do you like shrimps?"
Zhao Qian said: "It's okay." Then he said to Sister-in-law He: "We'll have lunch outside, so I won't worry about Sister-in-law He's hard work." After saying this, he took Li Wei's arm and went out.
Sister-in-law He originally wanted to show off her cooking skills, but she didn't expect that cold water was poured on her. She felt very unhappy. She kicked the shoe cabinet twice before she vented her anger.
Going to the mall? Li Wei was afraid of trouble if he was recognized in such a public place, but Zhao Qian was a public figure. Go to the movies? I don’t seem to have any movies I want to watch recently. Going to visit the attractions? It was a crowded place, and she didn't want to be watched, let alone secretly photographed.
It seems that it is inconvenient to do anything with a celebrity husband. In the end, Zhao Qian dragged Li Wei to a more private club.
This club covers beauty, fitness and catering. When they arrived, they were greeted personally by the lobby manager. Zhao Qian was a familiar person. It seemed that this was not his first time here. The lobby manager treated them very warmly.
Zhao Qian asked Li Wei: "Go to the swimming pool or play ball?"
Li Wei took a look at her makeup. It was a long skirt chosen by Zhao Qian with a windbreaker on top, and a pair of high heels on her feet. She said: "How can I swim and play ball dressed like this?"
Zhao Qian said hurriedly: "There are swimsuits and sportswear here."
Li Wei was not used to wearing swimsuits outside. She shook her head and said, "Forget it, let's sit quietly for a while."
Zhao Qian said to the lobby manager: "Let's have tea."
The lobby manager welcomed them to the eleventh floor of the club and took them into a small room inside. The privacy here is absolutely good and the environment is very elegant.
Then they were served Longjing, which Zhao Qian often drank.
"Are you a regular here?"
Zhao Qian said with a smile: "Qiu Kai's friend runs this place. Every time he returns to Beijing, he always comes and sits for a while."
There is a pot of jasmine on the windowsill, or a pot of two-color jasmine. The fragrance of jasmine flowers floats in, making people feel calm.
"I heard from Sister He about your job search."
Li Wei fiddled with the tea lid and asked leisurely: "What did she say?"
"She said you worked very hard and worked very hard."
Li Wei lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked, "How many years will Sister-in-law He help you?"
"I don't remember this clearly. Sister-in-law He was introduced by Qiu Kai and said that I needed an assistant in my daily life. I thought she was diligent and honest, so I asked her to stay. I have been working like this for more than ten years."
The old people who were used to the house in the past could not be replaced at will. Li Wei naturally understood this truth.
"I'm often not at home, so it's good to have more than one person at home to keep you company and to talk to you."
Li Wei also said directly: "But I don't like to be overheard."
"Eavesdropping?! Why didn't I know?" Zhao Qian was surprised.
Li Wei said: "I knew you wouldn't believe it."
Zhao Qian was full of doubts. He didn't spend much time at home, usually less than a month in a year. To him, Sister-in-law He was no different than a housekeeper. Someone looked after the house for him when he was not at home. When he returned, he had hot soup and rice to eat. His affairs were taken care of very well and no faults could be found. Why did Li Wei move here, but some things quietly changed.
Zhao Qian couldn't understand.
While there was no one else in front of him, Li Wei opened his heart and said to him: "Zhao Qian, I don't want anyone to interfere with those private matters."
Zhao Qian contacted Li Wei's indifference in the past two days, and he gradually understood, and then said: "Okay, if you think she is not good, I will fire her."
After working here for so many years, wouldn’t it be too cruel to just resign at the drop of a hat? But some of He's wife's actions really made Li Wei intolerable.
However, she still left this matter to Zhao Qian to handle, after all, she was his.
The two spent a long time in the club. Li Wei didn't want to go back to that house, so Zhao Qian called Mrs. He and told him that he wouldn't go back that night. Sister-in-law He was stunned on the other end of the phone for a long time, and finally agreed.
"Where will we stay if we don't go back?"
"Are you still worried about having no place to sleep?"
Zhao Qian booked a hotel room by himself.
After going to the hotel, Zhao Qian found Qiu Kai, and the two went outside to discuss things. In the middle of the afternoon, he went back to the company again. Li Wei felt bored and slept in the hotel.
By the time Zhao Qian came back, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
"Sorry, I came back late after dealing with some things."
He also said in the morning that he would stay with him all day, but he was busy with serious work. Li Wei didn't say much, so he just asked lightly: "Have you had dinner?"
"I don't care."
Li Wei didn't know what to say, so he called and ordered food.
Half an hour later, people from the catering department delivered food. The two of them ate together in the room.
"Can you make it to your early morning flight tomorrow?"
"No problem. Qiu Kai has already helped me get my luggage. He will be here at 5:30 to pick me up and take me to the airport."
He had already arranged everything, so Li Wei didn't need to worry.
