Flash Marriage with My Ex-Boyfriend’s Nemesis chapter 23 PART 2
PART 2
But Shen Zhiqian said, “Continue, I won’t make things difficult for you at work.”
“Okay, then I’ll say it.” Wang Qian said, “The other day, wasn’t Si Luoqing there to film a promotional video? She bumped into Qingqing, and coffee spilled on her.”
“Actually, she was careless and bumped into Qingqing’s coffee. Qingqing didn’t move in the elevator. And when her agent saw her burn, he pushed Qingqing.”
“Qingqing was bumped against the elevator handrail, her lower back bruised. I helped her apply medicine. But as soon as you came, you said sorry for her, directly assuming it was her fault. If she argued, it would make her seem petty.”
Shen Zhiqian’s heart clenched: “She was injured? Seriously?”
Ning Qingqing was a little angry that day, and he didn’t understand why. Later, he saw Ning Qingqing laughing and chatting with her classmates, and he left angrily.
After that, he went on a business trip to Beicheng, and when he returned, she was already with Gu Youchen!
Now that he thought about it, the morning they went to work together, he sent her to her workstation; that was their last tender moment!
Some things are only understood after they are lost, but it was already too late, and he didn’t know how to make amends.
Shen Zhiqian ended the call with Wang Qian. At this moment, he had a lot to say to Ning Qingqing.
But she was gone with Gu Youchen; he couldn’t contact her. Even if he could, he no longer had the chance to say sorry or ask how she was doing…
Shen Zhiqian sat on the flower bed outside Ning Qingqing’s apartment all night.
In the morning, his eyes were bloodshot.
She really didn’t come back all night; the last bit of hope in his heart shattered.
He stumbled to his feet and realized that his shoes and trousers were covered in crumbs from a cake, a complete mess.
At the same time, Ning Qingqing opened her eyes in Gu Youchen’s apartment.
She was a little unaccustomed to the bed; she only fell asleep after 12 o’clock last night and woke up before 7 this morning.
She went to wash up first, but because she hadn’t brought any clothes, she could only wear yesterday’s outfit.
Walking out of the room, she looked around and heard some sounds coming from the kitchen.
Was Gu Youchen cooking?
Ning Qingqing thought as she walked over.
In the kitchen, the rice cooker was gurgling, and steaks were sizzling in the frying pan next to it. On the side, there were two fried egg cakes on a plate.
The man quickly flipped the steak, seeming to sense the movement, and turned his head.
At that moment, the early morning sun slanted through the crystal entrance between the open kitchen and dining room, refracting into countless tiny fragments of light, and Ning Qingqing stood in that light, curiously looking over.
This moment was like a slow-motion shot in a heartwarming movie; Gu Youchen couldn’t describe his current emotion. Such a scene was a dream he used to have, but now it was a reality.
But his face had no extra expression; he simply nodded slightly at her: “Qingqing, morning.”
The last syllable of “morning” was slightly off-key, but because of the sizzling sound in the frying pan, it was hard to notice.
“Morning.” Ning Qingqing, unaware of Gu Youchen’s thoughts, stepped in: “Is there anything I can help with?”
The girl beside him was small and petite. Her makeup-free face was clean and clear, causing Gu Youchen to be momentarily stunned.
In that moment of daze, hot oil splattered onto his hand, and he instinctively retracted.
Ning Qingqing quickly went over, turned off the stove, and looked at Gu Youchen’s hand.
“It’s red; you need to rinse it with cold water immediately!”
Gu Youchen stared blankly at the anxious girl, momentarily forgetting to react.
Seeing that he didn’t move, Ning Qingqing pulled his wrist towards the sink.
She turned on the tap and brought the burned part of Gu Youchen’s hand closer.
The coldness relieved the burning sensation on his hand, but a fire rose from Gu Youchen’s wrist, held by Ning Qingqing, burning hotter and hotter in his heart.
He didn’t even glance at his hand but kept staring at Ning Qingqing’s side profile.
But when she looked up and spoke, he became calm and restrained.
She said, “Rinse for half a minute.”
He said, “Okay.”
The steak in the pan was perfectly cooked to seven points thanks to the residual heat. Gu Youchen took two plates, put egg cakes and steak on one for Ning Qingqing, and served porridge from the rice cooker.
“There are no vegetables at home, so I made millet porridge.” Gu Youchen said as he also served himself a bowl and sat down: “I hope you don’t mind.”
Ning Qingqing took a bite of the steak; the texture was just right, and the egg cakes were golden yellow. She looked up, sunlight sparkling in her eyes: “It’s delicious. Do you often cook?”
Gu Youchen nodded: “I went to study abroad when I was in high school and often cooked for myself there.”
Ning Qingqing said, “I also cook often, but my cooking skills are average.”
“Then I’ll cook at home from now on.” Gu Youchen almost blurted it out.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Qingqing looked up.
She quickly waved her hand: “No, no, no, you’re so busy with work, I need to share the housework.”
Gu Youchen saw that her eyes were noticeably rounder when she was serious, the sense of distance lessened. At this moment, Ning Qingqing was cute and approachable.
“Mm, we’ll share it on weekends. On weekdays, I can ask the housekeeper at the villa to come over; she cooks well too.” Gu Youchen said.
Ning Qingqing nodded. She was only relaxed recently. Once she started working at Ningchuang Capital, she would be busy.
After they finished breakfast, Ning Qingqing was about to wash the dishes when Gu Youchen stopped her: “Qingqing, let me talk about our next plan.”
He said, pulling her wrist to the living room.
A few steps later, he let go with a little reluctance.
“Qingqing, I need to go to the company this morning. We’ll go out for lunch together, and in the afternoon, I’ll accompany you to move out of your apartment.”
Ning Qingqing nodded: “Okay.”
“Also, do you have any preferences for our wedding house?” Gu Youchen said, “There are some villas under construction that are quite good. After I get to the company, I’ll ask Zhou Tezhu to give me the information and bring it home in the afternoon for us to choose?”
Ning Qingqing was surprised: “We need to buy another wedding house?”
Gu Youchen nodded, solemnly saying, “Real estate is also an investment, and after buying it, you can decorate it according to your preferences and choose your favorite style.”
Ning Qingqing was persuaded. She asked, “What style do you like?”
Gu Youchen said, “Whatever you like.”
Whatever style you like, let’s plan our future together.
Ning Qingqing inexplicably thought of this sentence in her head; she was startled. But seeing the man beside her with a work-like expression, she felt she must have been overthinking.
She replied, “Okay, we’ll choose in the afternoon.”
Gu Youchen nodded, then continued, “I’ve already told my parents about our marriage; they asked me to bring you home this weekend. When will your parents be free, we can all meet.”
As soon as Ning Qingqing heard about her parents, she felt a headache coming on.
“Okay, but I still need to ask my parents…”
Seeing her troubled look, Gu Youchen guessed something: “Qingqing, haven’t you told your parents yet?”
Ning Qingqing nodded, a little annoyed.
Gu Youchen’s lips couldn’t help but rise: “It’s okay, we’ll wait for them to come, and I’ll tell them.”
Realizing that they had started planning for the future, Ning Qingqing felt this feeling was strange yet somehow reassuring.
“Then you should go to work, I’ll wash the dishes.” Ning Qingqing said, getting up to go to the kitchen.
Gu Youchen went in with her: “I’m the boss; I can be late. There’s a dishwasher and sterilizer at home; I’ll teach you how to use them.”
He said, explaining the dishwasher’s functions to Ning Qingqing, and then demonstrated it himself.
Ning Qingqing watched from the side, but she was suddenly attracted by a complete set of kitchenware in the cabinet.
Seeing her look over, Gu Youchen opened the cabinet door for her.
“Baking tools?” Ning Qingqing remembered Gu Youchen eating tiramisu in the cake shop that day and asked, “Do you really like sweets that much?”
Gu Youchen nodded, looking into Ning Qingqing’s eyes, his gaze deepening: “I like them, but others don’t know.”
He likes her, but she doesn’t know.
