Mi Qing's mouth was still covered with the roasted meat she had just stuffed in. She covered her mouth with her hands, coughed, and tried hard to swallow the roasted meat together with the lettuce.
Xiao Gu took her teacup and mixed some hot water into it, then handed the cup to her.
Mi Qing took the water glass and took a sip, feeling that her breath finally came naturally. She coughed twice more, and then said to Xiao Gu: "Don't say such terrible things while eating, it's easy to kill people."
Xiao Gu also picked up a piece of freshly roasted pork belly for himself, and looked at Mi Qing: "Is it so scary to ask you to pick a shop?"
"Of course there is." Mi Qing said very firmly, "And why should I choose it? It's not my shop."
Xiao Gu said: "I just think that girls are probably better at this kind of thing." He paused here, and then denied his own words, "But I forgot that you are a little princess, definitely not."
Mi Qing snorted dissatisfied: "The little princess has high vision, okay, it's not because of Feng Shui, so why not?"
Xiao Gu smiled and said, "Oh, I'll leave it to you later."
Mi Qing: "..."
Why did she fall for such a simple aggressive method...
Although Mi Qing speeded up her meal, it was already past 3:10 when they arrived in front of the shop. The person in charge was waiting outside. He was a crew-cut man in a suit and leather shoes, and he seemed to be under thirty years old.
He was carrying a briefcase and stood at the door of the shop. When he saw Xiao Gu, he greeted him warmly: "Boss Xiao, hello."
Xiao Gu nodded to him and said, "Sorry, I'm late."
"Where is there." The attitude of the person in charge is very amiable. Today, the business will be closed. No matter which shop Xiao Gu finally takes a fancy to, it is his responsibility list. Waiting here for more than ten minutes is not a good idea at all. thing.
As he spoke, he took out the key, opened the store door, and invited Xiao Gu and Mi Qing in. The store has two floors. Mi Qing walked around the lobby on the first floor, and the person in charge followed her and dutifully explained: "This store is bigger and has better lighting. Boss Xiao prefers this. The proprietress thinks Woolen cloth?"
Mi Qing froze for a moment: "I'm not the proprietress."
The person in charge said with a smile: "The proprietress really knows how to joke. Boss Xiao brought you to see the store. Who are you if you are not the proprietress?"
Mi Qing: "..."
She is, a waiter.
She pursed her lips and said again: "I'm really not the boss's wife."
The person in charge moved his eyes twice, as if he understood something: "The lady boss is arguing with Boss Xiao? Don't take it to heart. Since Boss Xiao asked you to decide which shop to choose in the end, it means that you are still in his heart." Very prestigious."
Mi Qing: "..."
Is it necessary to have such a rich imagination when engaging in real estate now
She didn't want to explain to him again, so she climbed to the second floor to have a look. The second floor was also very bright. She stood at the window and looked around. There were many residential buildings nearby.
"What do you think?" Xiao Gu also followed, walked to the window and asked her.
"It looks okay, the orientation is good." Mi Qing said, "Is the rent expensive?"
Xiao Gu said: "The buildings here are all newly built, and the rent must be more expensive than that in Nancheng Garden."
"Oh, then let's go to another one."
The other shop is in the commercial circle near Kairui International, and the rent is also more expensive because of the large flow of people. Mi Qing looked inside, and found that the layout was similar to the previous one, but the area was smaller. Because Xiao Gu's restaurant has already gained a certain reputation among diners, there is no need to choose it in the business circle, so Mi Qing suggested the previous restaurant.
"That store can seat more people, and it's not far from the business circle. You also like it better?"
Xiao Gu nodded, and the matter was finalized.
After finishing all the formalities, Xiao Gu drove Mi Qing on the road at a leisurely pace: "I've already made an appointment with the decoration company, what style do you want to decorate?"
Mi Qing twitched the corner of her mouth and asked, "Why are you asking me again?"
So she is under a lot of pressure, okay
Xiao Gu smiled and said, "Aren't you the proprietress? I don't ask who you ask?"
Mi Qing glared at him dissatisfied and said, "The person in charge doesn't understand the situation, and you don't understand either? But I think it's fine for the decoration to be the same as the main store."
Xiao Gu let out a muffled laugh, and turned left at the intersection.
Mi Qing saw that the direction he was walking was not the direction to return to the store, so she asked a little doubtfully, "Where else should I go?"
Xiao Gu said: "Anyway, they are all here, let's stay here tonight."
Mi Qing: "..."
No, wait, is she going to skip work at night
Seeming to know what she was thinking, Xiao Gu pondered for a moment and said, "Today is considered a business trip, and your salary will not be deducted."
Mi Qing: "..."
From Nancheng Garden to... Kerry International on a business trip.
She was still thinking about how she would be teased by her colleagues when she went to work tomorrow, Xiao Gu had already driven the car in front of a large department store.
"There's nothing to eat here, let's buy some ingredients and cook for dinner at night."
Hearing Xiao Gu said that he was going to cook, Mi Qing immediately regained her spirits. Following Xiao Gu to the entrance area of the supermarket, she watched him pick out some meat, seafood and vegetables, and finally took a bottle of red wine.
It is already foreseeable how rich this dinner will be.
On the way back from the shopping mall, Mi Qing asked Xiao Gu: "How did you think of going to France to learn Western cuisine?"
Usually, such top students who study finance should go to Wall Street.
Xiao Gu said: "Go if you want."
Mi Qing pursed the corners of her mouth, and it really was Boss Xiao's style of answer. She asked again without giving up: "Then why did you come back after three years?"
From elegant western food to skewered incense, this style of painting has become a bit abrupt.
This time Xiao Gu was silent for a while before answering: "Because my father passed away."
Mi Qing was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that she accidentally inquired about other people's pain points.
She was a little embarrassed, and before she could organize her next words, Xiao Gu spoke again: "He just left that skewer shop, and I don't want it to be closed."
Mi Qing was silent for a while, then lowered her head and said, "You and your father have such a good relationship."
Xiao Gu smiled and said: "Actually, no, he didn't want me to go to France at the beginning, but after going around for a while, I came back and took over his Chuan Chuan shop."
Mi Qing thought for a while and said, "At least he won't force you to marry someone you don't like."
Xiao Gu looked at her from the side, and said with the corners of his mouth curled up: "He told me, don't find a rich young lady in the future, otherwise it will be very difficult to raise after marrying home."
Mi Qing twitched the corners of her lips and snorted disdainfully.
"He actually loves my mother very much." Xiao Gu looked back and looked at the road ahead again.
Mi Qing was quiet for a while, wondering what she was thinking, after the car drove into Kairui International, she asked again: "After Aunt Huo's birthday party, have you never been to City C again?"
"Yeah." Xiao Gu drove the car into the garage, stopped, and turned off the engine, "The Gu family objected to my mother marrying my father. After my mother left the Gu family, she never contacted them again."
Mi Qing helped Xiao Gu carry a shopping bag, and got out of the car behind him: "Then Aunt Gu is okay now?"
Xiao Gudao: "My mother passed away when I was in my senior year, and she was not in good health."
Mi Qing was silent again, why did she keep asking such questions today.
The two put the big and small bags in the kitchen. Xiao Gu leaned on the stove and looked at Mi Qing beside him: "My mother was originally a pampered lady. After she married my father, she helped him manage the shop. I have suffered a lot. I used to think that what my father said was right, marrying a big lady would only make her suffer. But now I think it’s good to marry a little princess. She will be my boss, as long as Just be responsible for eating melon seeds every day.”
Mi Qing looked at Xiao Gu who was smiling in front of her face, and suddenly felt in a daze. The position of the heart was beating very fast, as if she had returned to the time when she was confessed for the first time in her student days, she was panicked and overwhelmed.
Fortunately, she didn't run away like she did back then, but forced herself to be calm and mocked Xiao Gu: "Hehe, the boss plays mahjong every day, and the lady boss eats melon seeds every day. This shop is about to close down in half a month!"
After yelling this sentence, she ran away in despair.
Xiao Guwu stood in the kitchen and laughed for a while, walked to the door and looked towards the living room: "Come here and help me wash the vegetables, do you still want to have dinner?"
Mi Qing: "..."
Didn't you just say that you only need to eat melon seeds? The man's rhetoric is really unbelievable!
She awkwardly walked to the kitchen, and under Xiao Gu's instructions, she helped him handle the ingredients simply. The kitchen here is much larger than that in Nancheng Garden, and Xiao Gu is more comfortable in using it. Mi Qing secretly looked at him several times, and had to admit that Xiao Gu, who was concentrating on his work, was very pleasing to the eye.
"Although I know that I'm pretty, I won't be full just by looking at me." Xiao Gu suddenly turned his head, and looked at her with dizzy and smiling eyes.
As if she was caught doing something bad, Mi Qing immediately turned her head in embarrassment: "Stop being narcissistic."
Xiao Gu smiled and said: "It's better to just look at me, be careful with the knife in your hand, don't cut your hand."
"Hmph." Mi Qing used arrogance to cover up her guilty conscience.
Xiao Gu didn't speak any more, and concentrated on doing what he was doing. By the time the dinner was ready, it was almost eight o'clock.
"I'm starving to death..." Mi Qing slumped on the chair, still thinking about eating melon seeds so she wouldn't be so tired.
When Xiao Gu brought out the prepared dishes, Mi Qing was half alive in no time: "It smells so good!"
Xiao Gu said: "This is Burgundy snail, a very famous dish."
Mi Qing held the knife and fork and said, "I know, it's a snail that grew up eating grape leaves!" After Mi Qing finished speaking, she didn't wait for Xiao Gu to sit down, and started by herself.
Xiao Gu opened the red wine and poured her a small glass: "Pair it with Burgundy red wine, it will be more perfect."
Mi Qing didn't think much, took a sip with the wine glass, the wine was very mellow.
Xiao Gu's dinner was all Burgundy style. Burgundy is rich in red wine, and all his dishes also used red wine.
Mi Qing's face turned red after dinner.
"Appropriate intake of red wine can help you sleep, go up and take a bath, and you can sleep well." Sitting opposite, Xiao Gu said to her in a warm voice.
When Mi Qing heard this proposal, she felt a little ready to move, as she hadn't taken a bath for a long time.
She looked at the clean plates on the table, and said to Xiao Gu: "These..."
Xiao Gu smiled very gentlemanly: "I will clean up."
"That's great!" Mi Qing stood up from the chair, and wanted to rush upstairs to take a bath, but Xiao Gu stopped her, and Mi Qing stared at him warily, "Do you want to go back on your word?"
Xiao Gu said: "I just want to remind you to go to the bathroom in the master bedroom. The bathtub is bigger and more comfortable to soak in."
Mi Qing thought for a while, pointed at him and said, "Then you can't peek."
Xiao Gu smiled: "Of course not."
With his guarantee, Mi Qing happily rushed directly to the third floor. She visited Xiao Gu's master bedroom first before going into the bathroom.
The bathtub in the master bedroom is really big, and it is not a problem to accommodate two people at the same time. Mi Qing thought that she didn't bring pajamas, so she ran down to find Xiao Gu again: "I don't have pajamas."
Xiao Gu was washing the dishes, and when he heard her voice, he turned his head: "I have a new shirt in my closet, you can wear it for a while."
"Oh." Mi Qing ran back to the third floor and found a white shirt in Xiao Gu's closet. The water in the bathroom was just full. She walked in with her shirt in her arms and sat happily in the bathtub.
"Huh—" She breathed out comfortably, and slowly leaned against the bathtub. It would be great if I could come here to take a bath every day.
After soaking for some time, Mi Qing felt as if she had fallen asleep. Feeling that the water was getting cold, she took the shower gel that Xiao Gu put in the bathroom, squeezed some onto the sponge, and wiped it off.
When she came out of the bathtub, she felt a little dizzy. She thought it might be because she soaked for too long, and she drank alcohol before.
As soon as she opened the bathroom door, she saw Xiao Gu was also in the bedroom.
She was stunned for a moment, and then she blushed and said, "Didn't you say you wouldn't peek!"
Xiao Gu said a little funny: "I said I wouldn't peek, but I didn't say I wouldn't go back to the bedroom."
Mi Qing: "..."
The smell of body wash on her body gradually permeated the air, and Xiao Gu's eyelashes moved slightly.
She's wearing his shirt now, it's baggy, the point is, she's only wearing the shirt. The length of the shirt only reached her thighs, and because she took a bath, her hair was coiled on top of her head, revealing a fair neck.
Xiao Gu felt that the alcohol on his body was also a little fermented.
Mi Qing keenly noticed that the atmosphere in the room was a bit different. She looked in the direction of the door and wanted to rush out, but before she could lift her right foot, she was stopped by Xiao Gu.
Xiao Gu only exerted a little force, and picked her up lightly. Mi Qing was already dumbstruck, she didn't even realize that he had put herself on the bed.
Xiao Gu frowned slightly, looking at the person below him.
He didn't want to do this step, but Mi Qing in front of him was too alluring.
He slowly leaned down and kissed her.
