for Advance Chapter
When Chen Xiao returned to Zither Community, it was almost midnight.
After opening the door, Chen Xiao walked into the house and was about to go to bed, but suddenly he found that the light in the study in the corner of the first floor was still on. He couldn't help feeling quite curious and walked over.
The door of the study was only ajar, and Chen Xiao gently pushed it open.
Under the soft light, Mu Qingshuang was sitting at the desk typing on the keyboard. Next to the computer was a thick stack of opened documents.
Chen Xiao was a little surprised. Mu Qingshuang had always paid attention to taking care of her body. Staying up late, drinking, and going to bars were things she was not used to. But now she was working overtime at home until midnight.
Mu Qingshuang's face was already showing obvious fatigue. When she heard the sound of the door opening, she raised her head and saw Chen Xiao standing at the door. She said lightly, "Are you back?"
Mu Qingshuang's voice was neither warm nor cold, but it made Chen Xiao feel like a stranger.
Chen Xiao hummed, not knowing what to say to his icy wife for a moment, so he could only ask, "Why aren't you sleeping yet? It's so late. Do you have any work to do tomorrow?"
Mu Qingshuang glanced at Chen Xiao calmly and said, "This will be used at the meeting tomorrow morning, so it must be completed today."
Chen Xiao said with a grin, "Since it can't be completed, then just postpone the meeting. After all, you are the company's major shareholder and the president. Don't you have the final say on when to hold the meeting?"
Mu Qingshuang gave Chen Xiao a mocking look and said, "Do you think the world revolves around me?"
Chen Xiao shrugged his shoulders. "You're just pushing yourself too hard. You're like a robot, working all day long, working, making money. You don't have any fun in life at all..."
"Joy of life?"
Mu Qingshuang's lips curled up slightly: "Does going out every day to have fun, drinking and picking up women like you do? Is that what makes life fun?"
Chen Xiao's expression froze, and he coughed helplessly twice: "Didn't I go to thank them for lending me the car today?"
Mu Qingshuang rolled her eyes at Chen Xiao, her eyes full of disbelief. Perhaps if Chen Xiao said he was going to pick up girls, Mu Qingshuang might believe it more.
Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel a little uneasy when he thought about what happened today. He had originally invited Xia Yubing to dinner as a thank you for her help, but he hadn't expected such a strange thing to happen afterwards. It made Chen Xiao angry and embarrassed...
If Chen Xiao hadn't managed to suppress the lust in his heart, something might have happened. Although Xia Yubing was formidable, if Chen Xiao was blinded by lust and went berserk, her fighting ability would be basically negligible...
Mu Qingshuang was not able to hide the subtle change in Chen Xiao's expression, which made her face even colder.
My husband is always flirting with other women and picking up girls. Why did my father find such a husband for me and keep praising him? Why have I never noticed his good points?
Chen Xiao also noticed Mu Qingshuang's cold expression and touched his nose awkwardly. Women's sixth sense was really strong. Forget it, don't make yourself unhappy and go to bed.
"Anything else?"
Mu Qingshuang's tone was a little impatient. The document in her hand would take a long time to deal with, and she was not going to talk to Chen Xiao about some meaningless and meaningless nonsense.
Chen Xiao touched his nose awkwardly. Mu Qingshuang's words were clearly meant to drive him away, so it was not appropriate for him to stay any longer. Just as Chen Xiao was about to leave, a slight sound suddenly appeared in the air.
"Gu..."
Chen Xiao stopped as he was about to raise his right foot and looked at Mu Qingshuang in surprise.
Mu Qingshuang pursed her lips tightly, a slight blush appeared on her face, and there was a hint of embarrassment that could not be concealed in her expression.
Chen Xiao looked at Mu Qingshuang, whose face was flushed, and suddenly smiled. No matter how goddess-like or icy a woman was, she was still a human being and would get hungry.
Chen Xiao laughed, but Mu Qingshuang was furious. "What are you laughing at? Haven't you ever seen hunger?"
Chen Xiao shook his head and suppressed his laughter: "In my mind, you are almost a goddess who is not concerned with worldly affairs. Suddenly you do something so humane. I am very surprised..."
Mu Qingshuang gritted her teeth and glared at Chen Xiao angrily: "If you have nothing to do, get out now and don't delay my work!"
Chen Xiao didn't move, but instead advised earnestly: "When you're hungry, you should eat. Staying up late on an empty stomach is bad for your health..."
"Don't meddle in my business!"
Facing Mu Qingshuang's ruthless rejection, Chen Xiao was not angry: "Although our relationship is not that good, we are still husband and wife. There is no need to be so formal. Wait, I will ask Aunt Liu to make you something to eat..."
Seeing Chen Xiao walking out, Mu Qingshuang hurriedly called out, "What time is it? Aunt Liu went to bed early. Don't bother her in the middle of the night..."
Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and asked hesitantly, "Would you like some noodles?"
Mu Qingshuang stared at Chen Xiao angrily: "I told you not to call Aunt Liu..."
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "I'm not calling Aunt Liu. I'll go by myself."
Now it was Mu Qingshuang's turn to be stunned. Go by herself?
Thinking about Chen Xiao's question just now, Mu Qingshuang was filled with surprise. Could it be that this lazy man could also do it?
He gave himself the following?
A strange expression appeared on Mu Qingshuang's face. Why did he do this?
If someone is too nice to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. If you eat the noodles he makes, wouldn't you feel guilty about eating the noodles? If he makes a request, it would be difficult for you to refuse, right?
Don't eat!
Definitely not eating it!
Even if I'm starving, I won't eat it!
Mu Qingshuang made a decision in her heart and, regardless of the situation outside, focused her attention on the computer again.
…
In the kitchen, Chen Xiao opened the refrigerator door and took a look. Yes, there were tomatoes and eggs. He decided to make some tomato and egg noodles.
Although Chen Xiao almost never cooks, it doesn't mean that he can't cook. On the contrary, the rice and fried dishes he cooks taste quite good, even as good as those of some chefs in big hotels.
Chen Xiao beat the eggs and started to cook. Not long after, a bowl of steaming tomato and egg noodles was served in the bowl. It smelled delicious and was very tempting.
Chen Xiao pushed open the door of the study with the bowl of noodles in his hand, walked straight to the desk, put the noodles next to the computer, and handed a pair of chopsticks to Mu Qingshuang in front of her surprised eyes.
"Take it and eat it while it's hot."
To Chen Xiao's surprise, Mu Qingshuang didn't use chopsticks. Instead, she glanced at her face and then turned back to her computer screen.
"I don't want to eat it, you can take it away."
Chen Xiao was stunned: "Why don't you eat? Aren't you hungry?"
Mu Qingshuang pursed her lips and tried not to look at the bowl of steaming and fragrant tomato and egg noodles. The tempting aroma made her feel as if her stomach was rumbling.
Seeing Mu Qingshuang being silent and stubborn, Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel depressed: "Hey, you are such a person. You said you were hungry, and I asked Aunt Liu to make you something to eat, but you said not to disturb her. I made noodles for you, but you didn't want to eat..."
Mu Qingshuang heard the dissatisfaction in Chen Xiao's tone, raised her head and frowned, "I didn't ask you to give me the bottom."
Chen Xiao's eyes widened and he said angrily, "You mean I took pity on you and made you a bowl of noodles, but I made the wrong one, right?"
Mu Qingshuang was about to say something, but perhaps tempted by the aroma of the bowl of noodles, her stomach suddenly rumbled again.
Gu...
The sound was very obvious in the quiet study, and Mu Qingshuang's face suddenly turned redder.
Seeing that Mu Qingshuang was obviously very hungry but refused to accept his kindness, Chen Xiao was both angry and amused. He knew that with him here, he was afraid that Mu Qingshuang would rather starve than eat the food he cooked for her for the sake of face.
"Never mind. It's up to you. If you want to eat, eat. If you don't want to eat, just throw it away. I'm going to sleep."
Chen Xiao dropped a word, placed his chopsticks on the bowl of noodles in front of her, and without caring about Mu Qingshuang's reaction, he turned around and walked out of the study, closing the door behind him.
Chen Xiao had drunk a lot of wine before. Although he was not drunk, he was a little tipsy. Anyway, he had taken a shower in the hotel, so Chen Xiao decided to go to sleep.
In the study, Mu Qingshuang, with a slightly blushing face, heard Chen Xiao's footsteps sounding outside and gradually fading away. Then there was the sound of a door closing. Judging from the location of the sound, it seemed that he had entered the bedroom.
Mu Qingshuang was the only one left in the room. Her eyes involuntarily fell on the bowl of noodles, and a hint of hesitation appeared on her face.
This noodles smells so good, I'm so hungry...
Anyway, he has gone to sleep and can't see that I have eaten. Why don't I just eat a little bit or two to fill my stomach? This bowl of noodles is quite large anyway, so even if I only eat a little bit or two, he won't be able to notice, right?
Even if he asks me about it, I can just insist that I didn't eat it. He can't do anything to me anyway.
Thinking of this, Mu Qingshuang seemed to have finally found an excuse to eat noodles. She carefully picked up the chopsticks, gently picked up a handful of noodles, blew on it, and put it into her mouth.
Mu Qingshuang's eyes suddenly widened, her eyes full of surprise.
It's really delicious.
He actually knows how to cook noodles, and they are very delicious, even better than those in professional noodle shops outside!
I didn't expect this guy to be capable of this.
Mu Qingshuang had been starving for a long time, but after taking a mouthful of noodles, she felt even hungrier. She had originally planned to eat only one or two chopsticks of noodles, but she couldn't stop at all.
Take another bite...
It's really delicious. If I eat a few more bites, I probably won't be able to tell...
I've already eaten half of it. Well, since you can tell it's there, I might as well just eat as much as I want...
When Mu Qingshuang let out a long sigh and put down her chopsticks, the bowl of noodles in front of her had been eaten clean by her. Mu Qingshuang looked at the empty bowl of noodles and savored the fragrance that remained in her mouth.
This guy will probably laugh at himself tomorrow.
I clearly said I wouldn't eat it, but I ate it anyway. However, the noodles he made were really delicious...
How should I face him tomorrow?
What a headache!
Mu Qingshuang stretched out her hands and rubbed her delicate face, her expression was extremely tangled...
