Peach and Plum Do Not Speak - Chapter 130
Chen Muqi really took An Zhi to a private restaurant, it was really delicious, many dishes An Zhi had never seen before. Chen Muqi didn’t eat much, just watched her eat with a smile, while introducing her the ingredients in this dish, how much knife work and how long it took to cook it.
An Zhi asked inexplicably: “Isn’t it a private dish? There must be a lot of secrets that outsiders don’t know. How do you know?”
She didn’t know how to address Chen Muqi all the time.
The first impression of the young man who disliked the impatience of children when he first met.
The one she saw when she was a teenager who fell in love couldn’t help herself and couldn’t take care of her.
There was also a period of time when his ex-wife, Ms. Xu, betrayed him and beat him up. The divorce took away most of his wealth, and he looked decadent and unshaven.
She has an impression.
But the handsome and elegant “daughter-controlled” bearded uncle in front of him is still too unfamiliar.
“The more you eat, the better you will naturally know.” Chen Muqi laughed, looked at her, and said with admiration, “It’s really the eighteenth change of the female university. You are so beautiful now, and the water and soil abroad are still acceptable.”
An Zhi was not used to his “comfortable and loving” elder’s tone: “…well, it’s alright,” she paused, thinking of what Yan Xi had said, but she really liked to say coquettishly: “Am I getting fatter? ?”
“No, I still think you’re too thin!” Chen Muqi shook his head. Since An Zhi was sent to Polytechnic University, he was very pleased and excited. He suffered repeated setbacks in his youth studies, and he liked the type of academic bully the most in his heart. At first, he was attracted to Tao Zhenzhen because of her arrogant temperament that only had very good academic performance.
When An Zhi went to Harvard, Chen Muqi was like “Fan Jinzhongju”, which was the description he thought of. In addition, he was emotionally frustrated and deceived, but he felt that among the women in the world, only his daughter was reliable and lovely, so he was determined to be a loving father.
“After dinner, let’s go to the mall.”
“doing what?”
Chen Muqi said: “It’s the end of the year, let’s go pick something for the Yan family, they have taken care of you for so long, buy some New Year’s goods to show your affection.”
An Zhi looked at him and could only nod his head.
She lowered her eyes to eat, unable to express her feelings.
After dinner, when Chen Muqi went to checkout, she took the time to speak to Yan Xi.
When he went to bed last night, Yan Xi couldn’t answer. An Zhi didn’t ask her any further, she laughed inwardly, her aunt was quite shy.
I didn’t realize this before, but now they are lovers, it’s just a side of lovers.
lovers.
What a blushing word.
At the same time, Yan Xi took time out to trim her hair. Her hair stylist had a tight schedule and could only make an appointment for this time period.
She looked at the voice message: “Accompany Lao Chen in the mall, and I will go to his gallery later.”
A smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she replied, “Old Chen?”
“Well. I can’t call him dad for now, so I can only call him that.”
“Well, it’s cute. I’ll be recording late in the afternoon, don’t worry about me, have fun.”
An Zhi didn’t come back right away, he should be in the mall. Yan Xi pursed her lips and smiled, looking up at the hair stylist in the mirror.
The hair stylist smiled and chatted with her while blowing her hair: “You look so good recently, and your skin is bright. Did something good happen?”
Yan Xi smiled and touched his face: “Is there?”
“Yeah, it’s so obvious. There’s an old saying that people feel refreshed at happy events, so I just gossip. Are you in a relationship?”
Yan Xi looked at herself in the mirror, her pupils were clear and bright, her skin was slightly shiny, and she was in good condition. She smiled without saying a word.
At this time, An Zhi replied to her: “Is it cute? Then will I call you ‘old words’ in the future?”
Yan Xi paused.
“No, you can’t call it that. I’m several years younger than Lao Chen.” Yan Xi tapped on the screen of his phone.
An Zhi replied with a smiley face sticking out her tongue, “A little bit.”
Yan Qi smiled angrily.
An Zhi replied: “I see, don’t call, don’t call, Yan Xiaowu.”
It was just a simple word, but Yan Xi seemed to be able to see her dimpled smile and her soft and slightly playful voice.
Yan Xi’s cheeks touched a little warmth.
Thinking of last night’s picture, my face is hotter and my heart is softer.
Type: “I will be recording late in the afternoon. You and Lao Chen have dinner, and give me a message when you get home. I will go back as soon as possible.”
After a while, An Zhi replied, “Okay, then you remember to eat.”
An Zhi is a little reluctant, but when he is well-behaved, he will say “okay”, and then he will be accompanied by pouting. Yan Xi smiled and looked up to find the hair stylist looking at her with a smile.
An Zhi accompanied Chen Muqi to choose a lot of gifts, Chen Muqi sent them to the Yan family’s old house, and then dragged her to his gallery.
The gallery is operating very well. In addition to his own paintings, he also collects paintings by some young and emerging painters, and regularly cooperates with some institutions to open the gallery.
Chen Muqi’s economic status has been very good these years, but he is still single.
An Zhi tried to care about him, “Aren’t you going to have a girlfriend?”
Chen Muqi squinted and smiled: “This depends on fate.”
For dinner, they went to eat sushi again, a small shop, and the chef personally cooked in front of them.
The environment is quiet. An Zhi was finally able to take the initiative to find a topic to chat with him.
Halfway through he went to pick up a phone call.
An Zhi checked WeChat, but Yan Xi didn’t speak to her, she turned to the family group.
Xiao Yutong: “Tomorrow, we will take a family photo at home. All members will be here at half past ten.”
Liu Yiyi: “Ok, we just came back from XX province. I answered for my husband.”
Yan Yixi chooses time every year to go to some impoverished and backward mountainous areas for free teaching, and supports some studious students. Liu Yiyi will also accompany him when she is free since she married him.
Yan Yinan: “Understood, Nannan and I will make time for it.”
An Zhi rolled his eyes and said, “Okay.”
After waiting for a while, Yan Xi’s avatar jumped up: “Okay.”
Huh?
An Zhi was a little dumbfounded. Yan Xi’s avatar was originally a gardenia flower, which has not changed for decades, but now it has become a chubby rabbit, hand-painted, with a cute and naive look.
She didn’t change the conversation with her just now. Didn’t this person say that he was busy with video recording? Did you take the time to change your avatar?
People in the group also found out.
Liu Yiyi: “23333, Xiao Wu, where did you find a fat rabbit?”
Yan Yinan: “Hahahahaha…”
An Zhi: “…”
It took a while for Yan Xi to reply slowly: “How cute the fat rabbit is.”
An Zhi didn’t know whether to be happy or angry.
She took a deep breath, but couldn’t help laughing again, she clicked the dialogue box: “I don’t want to talk to you anymore, you always say I’m fat…”
When Chen Muqi came in, he saw a young girl who was engrossed in her phone, with two shy blushes on her cheeks full of collagen.
As soon as she saw him, she pretended that nothing had happened and put the phone away, but Chen Muqi was a visitor, so she asked cheerfully, “Boyfriend?”
An Yi was startled and shook his head: “No.”
Chen Muqi said with a smile: “Dad is not an antique. You are so beautiful, there will definitely be boys chasing you. Remember, don’t agree too quickly, you have to see more, compare more, and choose the best one.”
An Zhi almost laughed: “How do you say it’s the same as buying something?”
Chen Muqi’s expression suddenly became a little wistful: “Hey, it’s as easy as buying things…” He said sternly, “Dad is afraid that you will be hurt, so, who is chasing you, do you have a photo? Or you can ask him out. Let me take a look.”
Afterwards, he thought that An Zhi was living in the United States most of the time, and his tone changed to wanting to ask and fearing that she would be unhappy: “And I’m not prejudice… It’s better to be able to fall in love with Chinese people, and there are other living habits. Culturally more consistent… at least Asian!”
An Zhi stared at him, the concern for these years and the concern at this time cannot be faked, she still softened and blurted out: “Dad…”
The facial features on Chen Muqi’s face all rose and fluttered in an instant, and then suddenly solidified because of An Xia’s words, and the whole person became petrified, turning into a smile and a cry.
An Zhi said, “I have a girlfriend.”
