C17 Do Not Tempt Me
I followed behind Li-jie to see her out. She said no, she wanted me to go to work. As I stood in the doorway of the living room, with everyone in the office staring at me, I couldn't say anything. I just waved to her and watched her go down the stairs before I returned to my seat.
As soon as I returned to my seat, Bighead turned to me and asked, "What are you doing here today, Sister Li? Did you come specifically to find her little lover? "
I pushed his head away and scolded him, "What nonsense are you talking about? They came to check on the design."
Bighead asked seriously, "How is it?" Do you like the plan? "
I said, "Yes."
Just as I was saying this, Old Zhang from the engineering department came over to ask for my design proposal. He said that the director had asked him to come over for it, so I quickly passed the electronic version to Old Zhang's hair.
Bighead said, "Did you see that? Sister Li is wearing the same kind of coat as our Director Yang today."
Director Yang is the office manager in our office, a woman in her forties, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, dressed up all day.
After Bighead told me about it, I stood up to take a look. Only then did I realize that it was just as Bighead had said. I said, "You're looking very carefully."
Bighead said, "But if you say it's the same clothes, wearing it on Sister Li and Director Yang, the difference is really huge."
I chuckled and asked Bighead, "Sister Li just said that you would give me a reward. What do you think I want?"
Bighead opened his eyes wide and said, "Such a good thing?"
I said, "She said my plan was very efficient and good, so she could open her company early. What do you think I should let her reward me with? "
Bighead casually said, "It's the bed's reward."
I said, "Fuck, that's what you say. Be serious."
Bighead scratched his head. "I don't know anything else."
Then, passing us, she asked, "What are you talking about?"
Bighead said, "Sister Li …"
I immediately glared at him and said smilingly, "It's nothing. I just submitted the plan for Sis Li's company. The director is very satisfied. Hehe."
Kiki gave Bighead a dubious look, curled her lips at me, and walked away.
Bighead looked at her back and said, "Have you noticed that something's wrong with her recently?"
I remembered the look in her eyes that night, and I changed the subject to ask Bighead if he'd been flirting with girls lately.
Dinner with Kiki and the three of us went to a new noodle restaurant across from the company, planning to play billiards later. As I was walking out of the restaurant, I received a message from Sister Li asking me if I had time for dinner. She said that she was alone at home and had prepared some food for me to come over to eat with her.
I secretly rejoiced and replied that I had time. He told Big Head and the others a lie about a fellow townsman who had come to Xi'an and was waiting for me at the train station. They sighed and said, "Then go."
I caught a taxi by the side of the road and went straight to Sister Li's house.
I was looking forward to meeting with Li-jie. Looking at the scenery and buildings passing by, I felt very excited and happy. When he got off the car at the entrance of Crooked River Park, the sky had already darkened. The villa in the courtyard was like a paradise on earth under the illumination of the lamplight. The environment and atmosphere were very tranquil.
Arriving at the door of Li-jie's house, he saw her red BMW parked at the entrance. I knew he was alone, so I went up and rang the bell, and in a moment the door opened. I met Li-jie's eyes as we stood at the door. Her long hair was gently tied behind her head and she was wearing an apron. Even though she looked like a housewife, she still exuded an enchanting aura.
"Come in." Li-jie smiled and let me in.
I sat down on the sofa and asked Sister Li, "Why did you remember to cook your own food today?"
"I got tired of eating outside and suddenly wanted to make my own food."
I said, "Oh, when I asked Sister Li if she usually cooks, she shook her head and said," I can't do it more than a few times a month. You know I'm busy, I don't have that much time. "
I said, "That's true. Sister Li usually looks after such a large company, so there must be a lot of things going on."
Sister Li smiled humbly. "What do you want to drink?"
I said, "Any tea will do."
Sister Li then went to make me a cup of tea and brought it over. "I'll go cook first. Wait a while longer. We'll start eating soon."
I said, "It's nothing. You go back to your work first."
He took a sip of tea and savored the taste. Although I don't know much about tea, but I have an uncle who can taste it, and I know a little about it after living for a long time. Looking at the color and color of the tea in the glass, I also know that this is the best Longjing tea in the West Lake of Hangzhou. It is outrageously expensive and is not something a person like me can afford to drink.
The kitchen of Sister Li's house was next to the living room. Sitting there, she could just barely see into the kitchen and dining room.
I sipped my tea slowly and watched her bustle around the kitchen. It was hard to imagine a woman as fresh and refined as a housewife.
Especially when we ate the rest of the meal that night, she didn't pour it out, but put it in the refrigerator, and the next morning when she got up to eat it hot, it made me feel that she really wasn't the kind of person who was wealthy and haughty. In daily life, she was also someone who knew how to be thrifty and frugal.
I sat in the living room and watched as Li-jie busied herself and tried to help, so I took a sip of water and went over to her. Only when I stood behind her did she notice. She turned her head and asked with a cute smile, "Little Pig, what's wrong?"
I hugged her from behind. "I'll come over and help you, so you can do whatever you want with me."
She giggled and said, "Little girl, it's better if you sit at the side. You'll be fine soon." Patting my hands on her waist, he turned and pushed me out of the kitchen.
I smiled in embarrassment, feeling at home in my heart. After returning to the living room and waiting for about 10 minutes, I saw Sister Li starting to serve food to the table in the dining room. She stuck out her head and called out to me, "Little Sun, you're here for dinner."
"He's coming." I answered and trotted over to help carry the remaining dishes to the table.
The lives of rich people and ours are completely on two different channels. They are the big hotel cooks' contest, but we have a small hotel box lunch.
There were seven or eight dishes on the table, including lobster and crabs. Just the ingredients for this meal alone would cost quite a bit of money. Even the dining table was a very large mahogany one, it was the type that could seat more than ten people.
After Sister Li helped me carry the food, she sat down facing me and said, "Little Sun, you must be very hungry. Hurry and eat."
I held onto my chopsticks and wanted to eat the Crab Slug, but I didn't know how to do it. When Sister Li saw that I didn't move my chopsticks, she thought I was embarrassed and said smilingly, "Don't be shy. Hurry up and eat it."
My face was a little hot. I braced myself and said, "Sister Li, it's just the two of us. Why are there so many dishes? I've never eaten many of them before."
Sister Li looked at me and gently smiled. "Didn't I say that I would reward you? Just treat this meal as my reward. How about it?"
I smiled and said, "Yes, thank you, Sister Li."
She gave me a prawn and said, "Don't be polite. Eat more. Look at how thin you are."
I nodded and peeled the prawns Li-jie had given me and ate them. Sister Li also took a bite of the dish and began to eat it slowly. Even the way she ate was elegant.
Actually, I had already eaten dinner before I came here. I wasn't hungry at all, so I just ate a little and started hiccuping. Sister Li hurriedly said with concern, "Eat slowly, you'll choke. I'll go get you a glass of water." Before I could say no, Sister Li had already left for the living room. After a while, she carried a cup of water in one hand and a bottle of red wine in the other. "Do you want some?"
I took a sip of water and said, "Sure."
Sister Li smiled, opened the bottle with the bottle opener, and poured half a cup for me and her. She put down her chopsticks, picked up her glass, and said, "Let's have a drink together."
I raised my glass and touched it to her, then took a sip, just like she did. The lives of rich people are different. Even at home, I have to drink some red wine to eat a meal. Thinking back to when I was at home, it was my mother who cooked the meal.
I asked Li-jie if her husband had come back recently. Li-jie's expression became indifferent, saying that he rarely came back, so he bought a house for her and stayed with her. I knew that my boldness had disturbed the originally harmonious atmosphere, so I stopped asking about these things and picked up my wine to clink glasses with her.
