Chapter 46 – Phone (Part Two)
Qiao Jiusheng saw Qi Bufan fly into his room like a gust of wind, so she followed him and asked, "Bufan, why are you running so fast?"
Qi Bufan did not say anything. He entered his room and sat down behind the computer.
Qiao Jiusheng realized that he must be handling serious matters, so she did not dare to create trouble.
She turned around to leave the room. However, she b.u.mped into Fang Yusheng.
"Don't you make any sound when you walk?" Qiao Jiusheng rubbed her nose.
It was rare for Fang Yusheng to not argue with her.
Qiao Jiusheng looked up at Fang Yusheng and realized that he had opened his eyes.
He could not see clearly, yet Qiao Jiusheng got the feeling that Fang Yusheng was sizing her up.
Even a blind person can size people up?
She pinched her nose and asked Fang Yusheng, "What's wrong?"
Fang Yusheng's hands hung by his legs. His lips moved up and down, but in the end, he only shook his head in a stiff manner.
"Then, please make way," Qiao Jiusheng said.
Fang Yusheng obediently moved aside.
Qiao Jiusheng was puzzled. She rubbed her sore nose and walked toward the back of Fang Yusheng. Fang Yusheng stood at the same spot and did not turn around or walk into Qi Bufan's room. As he stood upright, he p.r.i.c.ked up his ears and tried to hear the commotion in the living room behind him.
Qiao Jiusheng seemed to be drinking tea. After she finished it, she lay down on the sofa again.
However, it seemed that she couldn't sit still anymore, so she stood up and ran toward the kitchen.
Fang Yusheng heard Qiao Jiusheng acting coquettishly with Aunt Jin. "Aunt Jin, can we eat pork trotters and stewed peanuts tonight? It'd be even better if it's stewed a little."
"Okay, okay, okay!" Aunt Jin replied.
Fang Yusheng had never noticed that his wife was so coquettish and loving.
"Mr. Fang."
Suddenly, Qi Bufan's voice rang about a meter in front of Fang Yusheng.
Fang Yusheng followed the sound and closed the door.
Qi Bufan looked at the closed door, then s.h.i.+fted his gaze to Fang Yusheng. His expression was complex but relieved. Unfortunately, Fang Yusheng could not see all these emotions.
It was rare for Fang Yusheng to not rush him.
Fang Yusheng just quietly stood there, waiting for Qi Bufan to speak.
Qi Bufan sighed and said, "Yes, Sir."
His heart, which was hanging high in the sky, suddenly fell back to its original place. Qi Bufan now felt at ease.
Fang Yusheng trembled. He reached out to lean on the desk in Qi Bufan's room.
He tightly pursed his lips as he felt ridiculous.
"How could this be…"
Qi Bufan said again, "I checked the surveillance cameras. It's absolutely true. Madam opened that phone." Seeing Fang Yusheng's disbelief, Qi Bufan reminded him, "Mr. Fang, you said that only you and the owner of that phone can open it."
Qi Bufan took a step forward and stood beside Fang Yusheng. He told him with certainty, "Madam is that person."
Fang Yusheng tightly gripped the
"Bufan," he said, his voice husky.
Qi Bufan nodded and asked, "What is it?"
"Between Fang Mu and me, who looks better?"
Qi Bufan was stunned. However, he immediately understood why Fang Yusheng had asked this.
So, he is not confident.
After thinking about it, Qi Bufan said, "Everyone has their own strengths, but in my heart, a hundred Fang Mus can't compare to you."
"Really?"
"I never lie."
Fang Yusheng asked again, "Can you tell me what she looks like?"
Qi Bufan said, "Tall and thin."
"Tell me more details."
After a long silence, Qi Bufan continued, "Her nose is narrow and sharp. She has slightly red lips, dark eyes, and good skin."
This description was abstract.
Fang Yusheng held his forehead. "Bufan, stop it."
Qi Bufan scratched his head and retreated.
Fang Yusheng stayed alone in Qi Bufan's room for a long time until Qiao Jiusheng pushed open the door. She poked her head in to shout, "Fang Yusheng, it's time for dinner! Hurry up!"
Without waiting for Fang Yusheng to reply, Qiao Jiusheng, who was in a hurry to eat meat, ran back to the dining room.
Fang Yusheng took a deep breath and left the room. Even before reaching the dining table, he could smell meat.
It could be said that the meat was extremely fragrant.
Someone suddenly grabbed his wrist. Then, Qiao Jiusheng led Fang Yusheng to a chair.
"Come, come, sit here." Qiao Jiusheng pressed him against the chair and sat him down. She then handed him a pair of chopsticks and said, "From left to right, there are stir-fried vegetables, black fungus salad, fried tofu, and a celery lotus soup at the far end."
When she was done introducing the food to him, Qiao Jiusheng could not wait to get started. She sat on her chair and reached for the pot of pork trotters.
Fang Yusheng held his chopsticks and did not eat for a long time.
Qiao Jiusheng took two bites before realizing that Fang Yusheng was not eating anything. She confusedly asked him, "What's wrong? Do you want me to feed you?" She only mentioned it casually.
In front of Fang Yusheng, Qiao Jiusheng had started to become ruder.
"Can I?" Fang Yusheng asked.
Qiao Jiusheng tilted her head. "What do you mean?"
Fang Yusheng explained with a wooden expression, "Can you feed me?"
Qiao Jiusheng was frightened.
"Sure, but—"
Before Qiao Jiusheng could finish, Fang Yusheng consciously handed the chopsticks to her. Lowering his posture, he seriously said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
Qiao Jiusheng stared at the chopsticks, shut her mouth, and remained silent for a while. Then, she took the chopsticks and sat beside Fang Yusheng.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Black fungus salad."
Qiao Jiusheng fed him a mouthful of cold fungus and asked again, "What do you want to eat?"
"Fried tofu."
She patiently fed him a few more mouthfuls.
Fang Yusheng ate very gently and slowly. Every few mouthfuls that Qiao Jiusheng fed him, she would glance at the pork trotter. When Qiao Jiusheng saw that the pork trotters were about to turn cold and that Fang Yusheng showed no intention of stopping, she became a little anxious. Suddenly, a sly smile appeared on her face, and she picked up a piece of pork trotter with her chopsticks.
She brought the pork trotter to Fang Yusheng's mouth and said, "Come, have another piece of fried tofu."
Fang Yusheng's nose twitched, and he smelled the fragrance of meat.
His eyelashes trembled, but he still opened his mouth.
Qiao Jiusheng quickly stuffed the piece of meat into Fang Yusheng's mouth. When she saw him biting the pig trotter, she instantly smiled like a cat that had stolen a fish. Fang Yusheng frowned and realized that the food in his mouth was a pig trotter. He did not spit it out but ate it with a frown.
When Qiao Jiusheng saw that Fang Yusheng really ate the pig trotter piece, her smile disappeared.
She quickly scooped half a bowl of soup and handed it to Fang Yusheng. When he finished, she said, "You really can't eat greasy food…"
Fang Yusheng suddenly raised his hand and held Qiao Jiusheng's hand that she had yet to retract. His fingers touched the back of Qiao Jiusheng's hand, and Qiao Jiusheng's heart numbed. She subconsciously looked down at the back of her hand.
At this moment, she heard the man beside her say with a doting smile, "It's nothing. Whatever your wife feeds you, you have to eat it even if it's poison."
Qiao Jiusheng almost smashed the bowl in her hand. Can I still eat properly?
