MTL - His Marriage Partner is Scheming-Chapter 25
On Sunday afternoon, the black luxury car stopped in front of Chi's house on time.
When the doorbell rang, Chi Xueyan just went downstairs and walked into the living room, walked straight to the entrance, glanced at the video screen, and pressed the call button: "Here we come."
He lowered his head to put on his shoes, and at the same time called out to the room where there was faint noise floating outside: "Dad, Mom, He Qiao is here to pick me up."
His parents are watching a movie in a special small movie theater at home. It is a relaxing romantic comedy.
Han Zhenzhen replied very simply: "Goodbye."
Immediately afterwards came Chi Zhongyuan's voice: "Are you coming back tonight?"
Chi Xueyan thought for a while, and said in response: "I won't come, go live there."
He Qiao's family members will be present today, so it would be inappropriate for the two of them to separate after the ceremony is over.
Still have to do superficial work.
Chi Zhongyuan's tone immediately became more relaxed, and he seemed to be so happy that he grabbed a lot of caramel popcorn and ate it: "Don't forget to close the door, bye."
Chi Xueyan: ...
It seems that his parents are enjoying the days without their son as a light bulb.
Different from the false husband and wife relationship between him and He Qiao, the two of them are truly loving partners, and their relationship has lasted for decades.
Today, Han Zhenzhen and Chi Zhongyuan chose to watch a movie at home instead of attending the housewarming ceremony of Wanjia Media, because this matter was actually separated from them by a layer, and this company had nothing to do with Chi Xueyan.
He Qiao is the son's husband, which is not the same as a son. He can't suddenly draw closer because of an acquired marriage relationship, which will make both of them awkward.
It just so happened that Sheng Xiaoyue thought so too.
The attitude of the two families towards this marriage is surprisingly consistent.
In addition to being a parent or a child, everyone should also have their own life.
They gave Chi Xueyan and He Qiao the greatest freedom, as well as just the right care and love, and hoped that their son and the other half could get the best happiness in this marriage.
Correspondingly, Chi Xueyan and He Qiao were naturally unwilling to make such two pairs of parents sad.
Therefore, in front of others, we must meticulously maintain that superficial love.
The driver poked his head out from the window of the driver's seat, and greeted Chi Xueyan who walked to the side of the car with a smile.
Every time I go to pick up the boss's wife, it's not his turn to open the door.
Because He Qiao would get out of the car and wait in person. When his lover bent down and got in the car, he would naturally reach out and cover the top of the car door so that he wouldn't accidentally touch it, and then sit beside him.
After the doors were closed and the car started slowly, they sometimes chatted, and sometimes just watched the scenery outside the window quietly.
But no matter what, each other's hands are always intertwined, like a subconscious habit.
The soundproof baffle was not raised today, and while the driver was driving, he could hear murmured conversations behind him.
"When I came out just now, my parents were watching a movie at home. This is the seventh time they have watched this movie."
"Is it nice?"
"I think it's okay, but the two of them think that eating popcorn is the most delicious when watching this movie, so every time they want to eat popcorn, they look out and watch it."
He raised the corner of his lips to add details: "Today's food is caramel."
The boss sitting on the left laughed, asked the person next to him the name of the movie, and asked him, "Did you go out with Su Yu yesterday?"
"Yes, he broke up with his girlfriend, and he asked me to have a drink to relieve his sorrow."
"at the bar?"
"No." The boss's lover often said surprisingly, "in the sea."
"...in the sea?"
"Well, the blue sea, the white yacht." He said leisurely, "There are also three wine glasses that were shaken by the waves."
In the strange and wonderful atmosphere, even the driver holding the steering wheel couldn't help smiling.
He thought, it really deserves to be the period of passionate love.
The car quickly arrived at its destination, a wide street called Maple Leaf Road.
The brand-new office building on the left side of the road is already bustling with people, and the private children's dental clinic in the building on the right is still busy.
Some clinic employees looked curiously at Wanjia Media, which had finally settled in, while taking time to drink water and go to the toilet.
The rumored starting point for the youngest son of the He family to take over.
Just across from the clinic where they work.
I don't know what kind of person that is, I only heard that he is very young.
The two buildings are so close to each other, will they meet by chance when commuting?
In their unaware eyes, the black luxury car drove smoothly into the underground garage of the office building.
Through the one-way glass, Chi Xueyan looked at the passing scenery on the opposite side, the familiar clinic where people kept coming in and out, and couldn't help sighing: "Fortunately, my shift is not on weekends."
There are relatively few patients who come on weekdays.
He Qiao laughed, and seriously echoed his words: "Fortunately, our rest days are the same day."
There is obvious love in the smile.
until the door opens.
This time it was the driver who came to open the door. He held the door and watched them leave hand in hand and walk towards the elevator.
The two figures are very well matched.
Almost every employee of Wanjia Media present felt so.
Today's housewarming ceremony process is not complicated, there are not many superstitious links, mainly staff representatives from various departments, and several high-level speeches in public.
The company has a new boss and moved to a new location, so it should have a new outlook.
The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable throughout the whole process, with a rich buffet of snacks and drinks. While eating and drinking, you can listen to the bosses talking about future plans in an ordinary chat-like tone, and you can communicate with each other at any time.
Although the group's largest boss, He Huaili, was present, everyone was a little uneasy at first, not knowing where to put their hands.
However, his attitude was always approachable, without any airs, and the wife who attended the meeting was also smiling all the time.
When He Qiao, who was dressed in a suit, spoke, Sheng Xiaoyue immediately took out her mobile phone and prepared to record the new appearance of her once playful son.
Chi Xueyan, who was beside her, glanced at her screen, reached out to help her make some adjustments, and told her softly, "This angle looks better."
She stared at the adjusted picture, as if she was not willing to blink for a moment, and said happily: "You are still careful."
He Qiao, who was in the focus of everyone's attention, noticed his mother and lover who were whispering, and his already gentle tone became softer.
Obviously, he continued to speak to the employees in a serious manner, but it made people smell a ray of happiness that had nothing to do with work.
After He Qiao, among the other leaders or department representatives who spoke, the most eye-catching one was Mr. Xiao Huang.
The colleague in charge of the show introduced with a suppressed smile: "Next is the representative of our music department, Teacher Xiao Huang."
In fact, he really wanted to say his full name. On this occasion, it is only formal to introduce his full name.
Immediately, a colleague fulfilled the common wish of the audience for him.
Xiao Huang was introducing the department's third quarter summary and fourth quarter plan in an overly steady tone, when someone below couldn't help shouting: "Huang Man!"
"...a long-term cooperative relationship, he has accumulated a lot of original songs that fit the brand's tonality...I think these songs..."
After the yellow sound sounded unexpectedly, he was really stuck, and his expression gradually became more stable, as if he had fallen into deep thought.
After a while, Xiao Huang said slowly, "Ah...it's really good."
Colleagues around were already laughing like crazy, and applauded enthusiastically: "Good! Very good!"
The whole housewarming ceremony was wonderful.
When the stable Xiao Huang stopped suddenly like a sloth, the red-haired lover next to the new president smiled very nicely.
The president with a gentle expression consciously took the shaking glass in his hand, and the sweet grapefruit juice in the glass was about to shake out.
Soon after, the ceremony ended perfectly, announcing that a new future was about to begin.
The air was filled with lively laughter, and employees gathered in twos and threes to chat.
He Huaili patted his youngest son on the shoulder with relief: "I didn't expect at first that you could do so well."
Before moving to the new location, He Qiao had taken over Wanjia Media for almost half a month. Just the strategy he adopted to treat the employees when he first arrived, He Huaili could see his son's attitude and ability.
He is seriously learning how to make the company better and better.
After a fight with someone, that He Qiao who said he didn't want to have any more prefixes didn't do it on a whim.
He Xiao who was on the side answered, "So I said you should trust him more."
After speaking, he turned his head to look at He Qiao again, with a smile on his face: "However, I was also a little surprised. I didn't expect you to be very talented in managing a company."
Having been praised by his elder brother who has always admired him, He Qiao showed an excited look on his face, but he did not forget to be humble: "It's not a talent, so I can't compare with my brother."
He subconsciously glanced sideways at his lover, and responded softly, "I'm just lucky."
For example, meeting true love at first sight during a blind date.
For example, on the night of the typhoon, I accidentally met an entrepreneur with business talent but fell into a trough.
Another example is taking over a high-quality company that is already thriving and has no defects.
Hearing what He Qiao said, and looking at where his eyes fell, both He Huaili and Sheng Xiaoyue thought he was taking the opportunity to confess his love, one shook his head with a smile, and the other was full of teasing.
He Xiao also seemed to be happy for his younger brother who had finally grown up, the cover of the glasses made the emotions in his eyes not so clear.
Only Chi Xueyan understood the true implication of this sentence.
He met He Qiao's eyes, then smiled and smoothed the other's slightly wrinkled collar: "You are the luckiest person I have ever seen."
As if responding generously to that obscure and passionate love.
And when the crowd dispersed, in the name of a visit, Chi Xueyan followed He Qiao into the office and closed the door. His first sentence was: "How are you going to deal with He Xiao?"
He didn't ask if he would deal with it, but how to deal with it.
He Qiao was not surprised by his sensitivity, and his tone was as usual: "Use the way he will treat He Qiao in the future."
At the moment when I thought life was smooth and perfect, I suddenly learned that everything was a mirage-like illusion, and because I didn't want to break the illusion of happiness in my closest family members, I couldn't tell them the secret, so I could only bear it alone.
Chi Xueyan raised her eyebrows: "A tooth for a tooth?"
He Qiao said frankly: "This is the fairest way I can think of."
He is not "He Qiao", and he doesn't really have any hatred for He Xiao, so he can't imagine how to take revenge on this elder brother with a real mood, so he can only seek a more objective fairness.
"sounds good."
After getting a rough answer, Chi Xueyan didn't ask any more questions, he decided to keep some interesting suspense for the days to come.
Afterwards, he turned around and strolled around the extra spacious new office leisurely.
Perhaps the word "room" should not be used to describe it.
In addition to the regular office area, there is also a rest room similar to an ordinary bedroom, a kitchen, and even a bathroom.
The rest room has a TV, bookcase, double bed, and blackout curtains.
Although the kitchen cannot use open flames, it is equipped with a variety of commonly used appliances and kitchen utensils.
...there is actually a big bathtub in the bathroom.
The evening light diffused gorgeous colors on the porcelain white surface, like a quiet oil painting, and Chi Xueyan couldn't help but linger for a while.
This is totally a home.
This office building was designed and decorated according to luxury standards, and the rent was very expensive, so it was rented out after being vacant for a period of time.
The advantage is that the basic facilities are all available, the decoration style is simple and elegant, and there is no need for secondary construction. As long as all kinds of furniture and office facilities are purchased, you can move in directly.
Chi Xueyan circled around and asked the person behind An Jing: "Is this lounge your mother's idea?"
In the wedding room, which was personally supervised by Sheng Xiaoyue, there was also a large bathtub of the same style in the bathroom of the master bedroom.
He hasn't tried that bathtub yet.
Because so far, he has only been in the master bedroom once on the wedding night.
He Qiao nodded lightly: "She said that considering where we both work, we can treat this place as a second home, so that you can come and rest at any time."
The queen size bed in the bedroom does look very comfortable.
At least it's more comfortable than taking a lunch break in the office.
Chi Xueyan began to think carefully about the possibility of occasionally coming to take a nap.
You can even take a relaxing shower after waking up.
By the way, the bathroom.
He suddenly looked back at He Qiao: "I told my parents before that we don't quarrel, we eat the same food, you do all the housework, and you also put the bath water in advance for me."
When talking about the bath water that was made up before, Chi Xueyan couldn't help laughing, and said casually: "I like warmer water temperature."
"Would you like to find a notebook and write it down? So as not to cheat."
He thought for a while, and took the initiative to explain: "I will try to say as few details as possible next time. These are all made up randomly. The two of them asked too many questions."
He Qiao didn't seem to care, and nodded gently: "It's okay, I will remember."
"If you need my cooperation, you can also tell me."
"good."
After completing the harmonious and friendly communication with the partners, Chi Xueyan glanced at the sky outside, and finally said: "Shouldn't it be time to go home?"
The afternoon of showing affection in public ended, and the night of respecting each other as guests came again.
Because of going to work, Chi Xueyan has a very regular schedule, and the time for washing and going to bed is basically the same every day.
But tonight, instead of taking a bath in his own room, he planned to take a bath in the master bedroom.
The evening light that had previously fallen into the office in the office building made the bathtub look extra warm, reminiscent of light, fluffy foam and splashes under the light.
Anyway, no one lives in the master bedroom, so it won't disturb He Qiao.
When it was time to take a bath, Chi Xueyan walked out of the room, and casually pushed open the door of the master bedroom, which was usually ignored by no one, only to find that the lights were on in the ensuite bathroom, and there was the faint sound of gurgling water.
The bathroom door was ajar, it didn't look like someone was taking a shower.
Chi Xueyan walked over with some surprise.
Footsteps in the bathroom sounded almost simultaneously.
In the next second, the door was fully opened, and he happened to meet the gaze that was looking over.
He Qiao, who was about to come out to look for him, stopped in his tracks.
After a short period of silence, He Qiao took the initiative to say: "The water has been placed, you can take a bath, the temperature is hot, I don't know if you like it."
Through the hazy fog lingering in the entire bathroom, Chi Xueyan saw that the cuffs of the person in front of him were slightly rolled up, but they were still a little wet from the water. The white shirt material was wet and clinging to his arms, and the remaining water droplets Maybe with too much heat.
The husband who lived together was unaware of this, and was explaining the reason to him with a serious expression.
"I think you should preview it first."
