Chapter 41
Xu Chen looked at the gentle little guy smiling in his arms, his forehead twitched.
Qi Ling really didn't shy away.
Before he could say anything, there was a knock on the door of the room, and the butler's voice sounded: "Master, the chair you requested has been delivered."
Qi Ling jumped out of his arms all at once, looked down at his slightly messy clothes, and subconsciously tidied them up.
But when he thought of something, he covered his mouth all of a sudden. His lip was not only swollen, but also bitten. It was still fine when he saw the housekeeper downstairs. If he saw it, he couldn't explain it at all.
Just when he was thinking about where to hide, Xu Chen opened the door directly, and the butler directed the people to move the chairs in. After the chairs were placed, he left without looking sideways.
Qi Ling was a little confused, is that all?
He thought he was about to reveal himself.
Xu Chen glanced at him indifferently, unable to explain what he was feeling, and explained: "The housekeeper won't talk nonsense."
Qi Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't notice Xu Chen's emotions. He ran over to arrange the chairs by himself, then put the three books on the table, and said happily, "Okay, this is where I will study from now on."
Even if Xu Chen is not around, he will sneak over here to study, so that when Xu Chen returns home, he will know immediately!
"It's up to you." Xu Chen just took a look and then looked away, "I'll go and order the kitchen's evening dishes, and tell them what you don't eat, and it will be served later."
After Xu Chen finished speaking, he went to change a set of clothes, but Qi Ling didn't even have time to stop him.
He looked at Xu Chen's neckline which was covered again with a little reluctance, "The pajamas from before were pretty good too..."
But when he thought of something, he shook his head again, "No, this one is also good now."
He didn't want Xu Chen in pajamas to be seen by others.
Qi Ling lowered his eyes to cover the possessiveness in his eyes, and raised his eyes again, without showing it at all, and muttered to Xu Chen: "Also, I'm not picky about food, I'll eat whatever you eat."
Xu Chen was buttoning his cuffs. Hearing this, he raised his eyes and looked at him: "Not picky eaters? Who doesn't eat coriander or garlic, likes fish but hates fish with many thorns, has a bad stomach, avoids spicy and greasy food, and doesn't like to drink Soup."
These were things he had inadvertently noticed when eating with Qi Ling, and Qi Ling would never take the initiative to say it.
Xu Chen's words blocked Qi Ling completely, and he argued weakly, "How can I be so picky?"
He usually eats whatever he wants...
Xu Chen gave him a look that you know well, and was about to open the door to go out, but Qi Ling stopped him, "Wait a minute, take a look."
He spoke cautiously, for fear of being bumped into.
Xu Chen tightened his hand on the doorknob, and said in a low voice, "The servants in the villa won't run around, the housekeeper should be in the courtyard now."
"Xu Zhou will also work overtime today, so he didn't come back so early."
Only then did Qi Ling feel relieved.
Xu Chen looked down at him, said nothing, opened the door and left.
Qi Ling also followed others to his room to pack his things, put the commonly used school supplies into his schoolbag, and brought them into Xu Chen's room.
Pushing open the door, Xu Chen hasn't come back yet.
After he put away his things, he couldn't help turning around Xu Chen's bookshelf. There were not only many economics-related books on it, but also countless classics, and the foreign ones were all in English. Those that have been read have also been annotated.
Qi Ling raised his lips, it really makes sense to be such an excellent person.
He picked out a few more documents related to his subject, and when he was about to go back to the desk to sort out, suddenly there was a special small compartment in the corner of the bookshelf, and there was a thick notebook in it.
He pulled it out curiously, looked at it, and opened it. The title page was Xu Chen's signature.
In Qingshui City before, Secretary Sun also took documents to sign for Xu Chen. He had seen Xu Chen's signature many times. Comparing the two, the handwriting on the notebook was obviously much greener, as if it was written many years ago.
Afraid of touching Xu Chen's privacy, he took out his phone and sent someone a WeChat message, [There is a notebook on the bookshelf, can I read the contents? 】
Xu Chen was smoking a cigarette in front of the downstairs window. When he saw this news, he thought about it and replied, 【Yes, that is the notes I took with Professor Jiang when I was in college. There are also some thoughts and data that may be useful for your current project. Inspired. 】
Qi Ling quickly responded with a hello, and still attached a cute emoji at the end.
He put the phone in his pocket, and the butler's voice came from behind him, "Master, the meal will be ready soon, if you are hungry, you can eat some fruit first."
The butler put the fruit plate on the coffee table in the living room, "Do you want to send a piece of fruit upstairs as well?"
Xu Chen remembered Qi Ling's avoidance attitude, his eyes darkened, "No, I'll take it later."
Uncle Wang responded: "Okay, just tell me anything you have to do."
After he finished speaking, he was about to continue working, but Xu Chen stopped him.
Xu Chen hesitated for a while, but still said: "Uncle Wang, if Qi Ling has any problems while I'm away, you can help him."
Uncle Wang didn't expect him to talk about this matter, "Young Master, don't worry, even if you don't tell me, I will."
This was the first time Xu Chen asked him to do something since he grew up.
Xu Chen looked at his gray hair at the temples, and put out the cigarette casually.
Uncle Wang is an old man of the Xu family. He almost watched him grow up. Now it has been more than 20 years. In fact, Uncle Wang has already passed the age of retirement, but he still stays at the Xu family.
Seeing Xu Chen's preoccupied state, Uncle Wang turned around and waited beside him without leaving, "Master, if you have any troubles, you can tell me, maybe I can help you with my old bones."
Xu Chen's eyes flickered, watching the thin white smoke rising from the extinguished smoke, he fell silent.
Just when Uncle Wang thought he would not speak, Xu Chen suddenly said, "Uncle Wang, I seem to have walked a difficult road."
Whether it was taking back the company or the relationship with Qi Ling, he felt like he couldn't grasp it.
Uncle Wang looked at the straight figure standing next to him, but for some reason, a scene of a child pestering him and asking when his parents would come back appeared in his mind. In a blink of an eye, the child had grown up and had more burdens on his shoulders than anyone else. .
He looked at Xu Chen's faint tiredness, recalled the scene upstairs just now, and he knew clearly, "Master, the road you walked has never been smooth."
"But now on this road, someone will accompany you."
He believed that Xu Chen had his own judgment, and felt that Xu Chen's path was not wrong.
Maybe Xu Chen himself didn't know how depressed he was when he came to Xu's house before, and when Xu Hanhai forced the two brothers to live together the week before, whether Xu Chen was facing the older one or the younger one, he always looked With an extremely indifferent expression, no meal is eaten at home, and they go out early and return late every day. The harmony between the two brothers is a joke.
Moreover, Uncle Wang could feel Xu Chen's increasingly obvious hostility towards Xu Zhou, which was completely different from the previous indifference. He had never figured out why, but now he seems to have found the answer.
It was the young man named Qi Ling.
Not only did Xu Chen return home early for the first time today, but he still had a vague smile on his lips. He even went into the kitchen and ordered some taboos, obviously because of Qi Ling.
He thought that Xu Chen would end up alone, but now, he obviously has concerns in his heart.
He thought it was a good thing.
Hearing Uncle Wang's words, Xu Chen couldn't help but think of Qi Ling softly hooking his fingers before going downstairs, and his brows and eyes softened, "Well, I know he will accompany me."
He doesn't need to think too much because of the other party's small thoughts of avoiding in front of others, take his time.
Uncle Wang saw that Xu Chen's expression softened a lot, and he felt relieved, but he remembered something, frowned and said, "But young master, have you really thought about it? The second young master seems to care about Qi Ling very much."
Since Xu Chen dared to bring Qi Ling back like this, and he didn't hide anything about his actions, it seemed that he was going to tear up his face with Xu Zhou. In this case, Xu Chen might directly confront Xu Hanhai who was behind Xu Zhou.
But Xu Chen agreed to live in this house with Xu Zhou this time, which showed that he would not want to face Xu Hanhai so early.
Xu Chen knew what Uncle Wang was thinking, and when he thought of Xu Zhou's thoughts, a look of coldness flashed across his eyes, "Xu Zhou is still under the control of the Yu family, so it is impossible for him to be so stupid as to bring this matter to Xu Hanhai."
Xu Hanhai is obviously very optimistic about Xu Zhou's relationship with Yu Chengcheng. Recently, he is planning to cooperate with Yu's family, his future in-laws, for a big business. Sweet words.
With these prerequisites in place, Xu Zhou dared not show any thought of Qi Ling in front of Xu Hanhai.
In other words, no matter what Xu Zhou saw in this house, he could only hold back.
Xu Chen couldn't help but curl his lips.
The days after that must be very interesting.
