Chapter 168: you're uncomfortable

Views:

After thinking about it, Zuo Panqing turned her face to Zheng Qimei and said with a smile, "I ordered your favorite seafood. Today we won't go home until we're drunk."

"You don't come here." Zheng Qimei wanted to roll her eyes again: "You are drunk and someone will send you off, but I don't."

"Why not?" Zuo Panqing pointed to Gu Xuewen beside him: "He is here, let him send it off."

"I don't dare." Zheng Qimei waved her hand: "Eat first. I'm starving to death."

She said she would come early in the morning, and when everyone is here, it will be eight o'clock, and she is really hungry. He raised his head and glanced at Gu Xuewu, the mayor. God, she never thought that she could have dinner with the mayor before.

"Mayor Gu. Panqing and I are good friends, you don't mind, do you?"

"It's okay, you guys are done eating." Gu Xuewen's voice was faint, and there was no emotion.

"Okay." Zuo Panqing ignored him. Stand up and put the ingredients on the table into the pot, all on the side of the spicy pot. She and Zheng Qimei both like spicy food, and when things are cooked, she picks up a piece and finds it very satisfying.

"It's so spicy. So comfortable."

Looking up, she realized that Gu Xuewu and Qiao Xinwan hadn't moved their chopsticks, and she stuck out her tongue.

"You, don't you all eat spicy food?"

"En." Gu Xuewu nodded lightly, not liking that feeling.

"You should have said it earlier." Zuo Panqing looked at the spicy pot: "Then I'll order another one."

"Finish these first." Gu Xuewen put the ingredients that were not put in into the clear soup pot, and looked at Gu Xuewu: "If you don't like it, you can ask them to send you up. There are other things here."

"En." Gu Xuewu nodded, rang the bell to call the waiter, and ordered a fried rice.

"Brother doesn't eat hot pot?" Don't you like it in clear soup? It was only now that Zuo Panqing realized that she seemed to have done wrong favors.

"I don't really like it." Gu Xuewu really doesn't like hot pot. .

"Then..." Why did you agree to come to me? What a disappointment.

Zuo Panqing slandered again. Did you make a mistake? I thought so in my heart, but it didn't show on my face.

Qiao Xinwan was a little interested, she was afraid of spicy food, so she tasted some hot and non-spicy ones, and nodded to Zuo Panqing.

"The taste is not bad."

"As long as sister-in-law likes it." Zuo Panqing heaved a sigh of relief. At least one likes it. That's it.

"You're welcome." Qiao Xinwan has been bored recently. This place is no different than the capital city of Beijing. The friends she hangs out with are not there. She just goes shopping, watches TV and reads novels every day. The time is very boring: "If you have time, please call me next time. I have time."

"Okay." Zuo Panqing nodded, finished off a shrimp ball, and said very carelessly: "Sister-in-law, don't you want to go to work?"

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I felt that the atmosphere at the dinner table changed a bit. Qiao Xinwan smiled awkwardly.

"I'm not working at the moment." She studied business administration in college. I have been working in the company at home in the northern capital, but I have come to city c and haven't worked yet.

The Qiao family plans to open a branch in City C. However, the group of old antiques in the company objected, so the temporary plan has not yet taken shape. Turning his face to look at Gu Xuewu, a trace of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.

"She won't starve if she doesn't work. It doesn't matter." With a strong family backing, anything goes.

"Gu Xuewu." Does he have to lose face like this? Qiao Xinwan's eyes were slightly hurt: "I will let Dad start a company here."

"That's not very good. It's good." Zuo Panqing realized that she had asked the wrong question. Seeing Gu Xuewu's face became colder, she put a piece of mutton into Gu Xuewen's bowl: "Eat mutton." .”

Gu Xuewen looked at the mutton in the bowl that was fished out from the spicy pot, and frowned slightly, but he picked it up and ate it. The spicy taste that he was not used to and didn't like made his face change.

Zuo Panqing didn't see it, and put a few more pieces into his bowl: "This is my favorite. Here it is. Try it."

Gu Xuewen looked at her with a helpless expression, but in the end he didn't refuse, picked them up and put them in his mouth one by one.

Qiao Xinwan casually ate two mouthfuls, then glanced at Gu Xuewu: "This tastes good, do you want to try it?"

"No need." v3ky.

"Just try it." Qiao Xinwan boiled the mutton in a clear soup pot and put it into Gu Xuewu's bowl. But he didn't move.

Zheng Qimei suddenly realized that she seemed to have come by mistake today. Does she see the secret of the mayor's house

A meal is finished without being salty or light. Zuo Panqing felt that it was boring, she and Qiqi were the only two people in the past, and they were very capable of making trouble. Now a large group of people can't make a fuss. That's enough.

finish eating. Qiao Xinwan got into Gu Xuewu's car and left. Zuo Panqing wanted to take Zheng Qimei home, but she refused and took a taxi and left. Only she and Gu Xuewen were left.

"Let's go." She vowed that she would never ask Gu Xuewu out for dinner next time. At least not two at the same time. Turning around, I realized that Gu Xuewen's face was a bit ugly. She stuck out her tongue: "Okay, I won't make my own decisions next time."

Gu Xuewen didn't speak, just got into the car silently, Zuo Panqing made a face at his back, and got into the car behind him.

After returning home, Gu Xuewen went to the kitchen to pour a glass of warm water and drank it all down, Zuo Panqing realized that his expression was a little strange.

"What's wrong with you?" A look of concern flashed in his eyes. It was the first time Zuo Panqing saw him showing such an expression. Even when his hand was injured last time, he didn't seem to look like this.

"Uncomfortable." With a few words, Gu Xuewen sat down on the sofa and stretched out his hand to cover his stomach.

"You have a stomachache?" Zuo Panqing saw his movements and understood: "Because you ate hot pot?"

Gu Xuewen nodded: "I'm not used to eating too spicy food." He has been fighting on the front line for many years, and he often has irregular meals. He has a mild stomach problem and can't eat too much spicy food. Especially something as spicy as hot pot.

"Then, why didn't you say it earlier?" Zuo Panqing stared at him for a long time: "Why did you eat just now?"

Don't eat if you have a stomachache.

Gu Xuewen was silent. The pain was obvious on his face, seeing the guilt flashing in Zuo Panqing's eyes, he stretched out his hand and hugged her into his arms.

"I'm fine."

"It hurts so much and you still say it's okay?" Zuo Panqing couldn't sit still, she shook off his hand and stood up: "Is there any stomach medicine at home?"

"I don't know, it doesn't seem to be there." There is a box in the office, and it is normal to eat at home, so there may not be any.

Zuo Panqing pushed his hand away, found the medicine box and turned it over. Without stomach medicine, he glared at him, grabbed his bag and was about to go out.

Gu Xuewen grabbed her quickly with sharp eyes: "Why are you going?"

"Buy medicine." Zuo Panqing shook off his hand: "Take a rest, there is a pharmacy not far downstairs, it will be soon."

"No need." Gu Xuewen shook his head: "I can bear it."

"Be patient with your sister. What is there to bear with this kind of thing?" She gave him a blank look, opened the door and ran out quickly, Zuo Panqing ignored his reaction at all.

Gu Xuewen watched her leave and laughed a little. His stomach was uncomfortable, but the concern on her face made his discomfort a lot better.

Soon, Zuo Panqing came back, took at least three or four boxes of gastric medicine in her hands, and put the medicines on the coffee table, she looked at Gu Xuewen.

"What kind of symptoms are you? Which stomach medicine do you want to take?" There are many symptoms of stomach problems. She was afraid that she would not know about Gu Xuewen's situation, so she simply bought one of all stomach medicines.

Gu Xuewen looked at Zuo Panqing's face, she ran up, with a thin layer of sweat on her forehead. The cheeks are flushed, showing a healthy color. The hair on the forehead was slightly wet, hanging above the eyelashes, adding a bit of strange beauty.

The big hand stretched out and clasped her into his arms, raised his hand, and wiped the sweat off her forehead: "I'm fine."

This kind of pain was nothing to him at all.

"Why are you all right?" Zuo Panqing rushed to the kitchen to pour a glass of water, and opened one of the boxes of stomach medicine: "Take this, the clerk said that it will take effect soon."

Gu Xuewen stared at her face for a while, and finally swallowed the two stomach medicines in her hand, and took a sip of warm water. In fact, his stomach felt much more comfortable, but the eagerness on her face made him unable to refuse.

Seeing that he had taken the medicine, Zuo Panqing breathed a sigh of relief, sat down beside him, and put her hand on his abdomen: "Is it better?"

"Um."

Zuo Panqing stared at the calmness on his face, a little incomprehensible: "You are serious. If you can't eat spicy food, then don't eat it. Why haven't I seen you like this before?"

"When will you watch me stir-fry and let go of the chili?" Gu Xuewen asked back. Zuo Panqing was stunned for a moment, and then remembered. It's good to eat together, or to buy groceries. Gu Xuewen really buys less peppers and puts less peppers. go outside

Occasionally there are dishes that require chili peppers, but he seems to eat very little of them.

Zuo Panqing was silent. He obviously didn't eat chili, but he accompanied her to eat hot pot? The dish she gave him was so spicy, but he still ate it

Biting her lip, a trace of complicated emotions welled up in her heart. For this man, she became more and more unpredictable. Looking up, Gu Xuewen was staring at her face.

Zuo Panqing froze for a moment, lowered her face, a little at a loss.

"It's getting late, you still have to go to work tomorrow, go to bed early." Gu Xuewen stood up and walked to the room. Zuo Panqing followed behind him. Complicated mind.

"Gu Xuewen." After entering the room, he saw that he was going to the bathroom. Suddenly she called out to him. He turned around and stared at her face with a hint of doubt.

"Well, you—" Zuo Panqing didn't know what to say, and finally thought of the question: "Why did you marry me?"

She had never asked this question except on her wedding day, and now, she asked it again,

Gu Xuewen didn't answer, stared at her face for a while, and finally sighed: "What do you think?"

After going around for a long time, the problem came back. Zuo Panqing was depressed, and a bit of confusion flashed in her eyes: "You just happened to be short of a wife, so you found me. Is that right?"
