Chapter 280 One can live well
She thought about it secretly, but smiled calmly, "If it's really as simple as you said, as long as I go back, this deal is not a loss for me. But, why should I trust you?"
"You have no chance of not believing. Xia Fei, I know, Ji Wanqin and Lu Hao, you must choose the latter. The big show at night, without you as the audience, can't sing, I'm looking forward to it."
The woman's laughter echoed in her ears for a long time, until the phone screen went black as if it still existed. Xia Fei leaned on the sofa dejectedly, unable to calm down for a long time.
She didn't know why Lu Hao was with her, and she didn't know what would happen if she went to Xia's house at night, but as this woman said, she had no chance to choose.
The smile on the corners of the raised lips was pale and gray, obviously the two of them could have a wonderful New Year's Eve together, so why did she bother to join in the fun.But she didn't go... Xia Fei thought of those times when Lu Hao left in a hurry in the middle of the night, and the phone calls were hung up for no reason, but she couldn't control herself from agreeing to her conditions.
Maybe she is right, Ji Wanqin and Lu Hao, she will only choose the latter.
It was almost four o'clock when Lu Hao arrived home, he should have come back after work, he was holding a bouquet of beautiful roses in his hands, the number was not too many, eleven roses, and looked at her with gentle and smiling eyebrows. She then handed over the roses.
Eleven flowers, a lifetime...
Xia Fei reached out to take it, and kissed him on the chin with her lips on the tip of her toes, "Why do you think of buying flowers?"
President Lu is really not a very romantic person, and the number of times he buys flowers is also very limited, so she was a little pleasantly surprised and surprised by buying flowers once in a while.
Lu Hao lowered his head, only saw her red lips opening and closing, his eyes darkened, his brows raised, and he stretched out his hand and hugged her into his arms.
"I just saw it on the road and bought it. I don't know what flowers you like. Women like roses."
She raised her chin slightly and smiled softly, "Actually, I like lilies more than roses. Roses are beautiful but too gorgeous to suit me."
"Really, then I'll buy a lily next time." The man followed suit and leaned over to kiss her lips. The gentle and tender kiss was not as intense and forceful as usual.
He reached out to take off his suit and unbuttoned the cuffs of his shirt, as if planning to go to the kitchen and start cooking.
Xia Fei's face darkened slightly, she subconsciously grabbed his hand, her eyes darkened a bit, "Wait a minute..."
The movement of the man's hands paused, and he asked in a low voice, "What's the matter? Think it's too early to cook now?"
It's four o'clock now, and it should be almost five o'clock when we finish, so it's not too early.
"Today's Chinese New Year, Mr. Xia invited us to Xia's house for dinner..."
"So?" The man glanced at her with a complicated and inexplicable look. His straight eyes seemed to see through her, their eyes were burning and sharp.
Xia Fei's heart tightened, she bit her lip, not knowing how to answer.
Lu Hao's gaze was fixed, a shallow arc was drawn on his thin lips, and he pulled out a long smile, "Do you want to forgive them?"
In the final analysis, she is always the daughter of Xia Yi and Ji Wanqin. If she can really let go, as long as she is willing to forgive, he won't mind.
forgive?
In fact, this word was too unfamiliar to Xia Fei, and she had never deliberately thought about it, but she couldn't tell Lu Hao that going to Xia's house tonight was just for a deal.If she said it, she would have too many things to explain, and too many things to worry about, so she could only remain silent.
Lu Hao looked at her and smiled, and said lightly: "I don't want to say it, or can't even I say it?"
Xia Fei looked at him, seemed to be thinking for a while, and slightly crowed her brows, "I don't want to lie to you."
She could be silent but she couldn't cheat, even if it was him who hid those things from the beginning!
Her eyes subconsciously avoided Lu Hao's overly hot eyes, holding the bouquet of roses in her hand, feeling a little uneasy and flustered.
A few seconds later, he still said calmly, "I can wait for you," he rolled back his rolled up cuffs and put on his suit, "Go now?"
"Let me call first." Xia Fei turned around and went to the dining room to find a vase, put the roses in her hand into it, and then went to the living room to get her mobile phone to call Xia Yi.
The call was connected quickly, and Xia Yi's voice sounded obviously joyful. This was the first time she called on her own initiative.
"Mr. Xia, I'm Xia Fei." Her tone was polite, but even so, Xia Yi was still very happy.
"Well, call me, what's the matter?"
Xia Fei's tone paused slightly, "Didn't you invite me to dinner at home tonight last time, I thought about it, we'll come over later, okay?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then there was a voice that was a little too excited, "What did you say?"
She repeated it in a low voice, her tone indifferent, without any obvious emotional changes.
"Okay, I'll order the kitchen to cook a few more dishes, what do you like to eat?"
The usually too mature and rigid male voice was tainted with distinct joy at this moment, and even the voice was raised a lot, and she even heard the voices of the people around him.
"Whatever you want." Xia Fei's tone was still polite, but a little cold.
After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone, with some cold smiles on her lips, which seemed a little self-deprecating.His eyes could not help but fall on Lu Hao who was on the side. After staying for a few seconds, he turned to the kitchen, glanced at the creamy mushroom soup that was still warm on the stove, and sighed softly.
"What's hot in the kitchen, it smells good." Lu Hao followed her gaze and looked over with curiosity.
"Mushroom soup, originally planned to go with your steak..." She muttered softly, then walked to the kitchen, and turned off the fire on the stove.
The man looked at her back, his face darkened slightly, and his eyes were a little complicated, but they were covered up in a second.
After turning off the fire, Xia Fei went to the bedroom on the second floor to change into a more formal attire suitable for going out, and briefly combed her makeup. Half an hour later, Lu Hao drove her to Xia's villa.
The servant who opened the door was Xia Yan, the first thing he saw after entering the door was Xia Yan, he looked at them, raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised, but it passed by.
"People are here, we can serve dinner." It was almost six o'clock at this time, and it was not too early to eat at this moment.
Xia Yi and Ji Wanqin came out at the same time when they heard the voice. Lu Hao nodded slightly, which was considered polite, but his eyes were dull and he didn't seem enthusiastic.
There was no expression on Xia Fei's face. When she saw them, she just smiled coldly and politely, and called Mr. Xia, Mrs. Xia. A familiar friend's house is usually a guest.
But no matter what her attitude was, she would be flattered enough to come back, especially today.
"Heh, didn't you coldly refuse to come here to eat, Xia Fei, when did you learn to say one thing and do another?" Xia Mo, who was originally sitting on the sofa in the living room, also stood up when she heard the voice, There was a mocking smile on her face, not hiding the disdain in her eyes.
Hearing this sentence, Xia Fei stopped at the door. She raised her eyes and sneered, "I didn't come here to accept your invitation."
On the other side, Xia Yi yelled and then said, "Xia Xi, shut up!"
Xia Fei stood still, and looked at Ji Wanqin, who was standing beside Xia Yi, looking full of pain and guilt.
Xia Yan said, "Okay, we are all a family. Today is the Chinese New Year. Let's all have a good meal." Go ahead, he glanced at Xia Fei, "Come in, brother specially ordered the kitchen to cook a lot for you Favorite dish."
Xia Fei's eyebrows twitched slightly for her favorite dish, and it was only when she went to the kitchen to look at it that she realized what her favorite dish was.
Sweet and sour pork ribs, hot and sour potato shreds... All the dishes filled in the column about favorite food on her Weibo homepage appeared on the restaurant table.
His eyes dimmed slightly, and he couldn't tell what he was feeling at the moment, but it was somewhat awkward.
When Xia Fei raised her feet and walked in, Lu Hao just followed behind her, wearing a black suit, and looked more and more calm and indifferent.
Xia Xie also walked from the living room to the dining room at this time, she looked at Lu Hao with complicated eyes, the good feelings she had for him had long since disappeared in the aftermath.For a man who only protected Xia Fei from the beginning to the end, she couldn't develop any other feelings, and even had some complaints and jealousy.
The table is full of various dishes, all of which are typical Chinese dishes. They taste good and look good, but if you can choose, in fact, Xia Fei would rather enjoy steak and mushrooms at home with Lu Hao Soup.
She seldom moved her chopsticks, and naturally ate less, and she didn't speak the whole time.
Xia Yi, who was sitting opposite, looked at her with complicated eyes, and frowned slightly, "Are these dishes not to your liking?"
She was already skinny and still ate so little, all he could think of was that these dishes didn't suit her taste.
Xia Fei put down her chopsticks and shook her head lightly, "No, it's quite delicious."
"Eat more if it tastes good, you're too thin." He said, using the serving chopsticks to directly pick up a piece of her favorite sweet and sour pork ribs and put it into her bowl, his eyes were full of love and pity.
Xia Fei was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously raised her eyes to glance at the middle-aged man sitting opposite, the man closest to her in blood.Thinking of what the woman said, Ji Wanqin has been hiding it from him. She doesn't know what will happen in a while, but subconsciously, she doesn't want Xia Yi to be hurt unnecessarily.
Her dazed look was another matter in the eyes of others, Xia Xi glanced at her with some resentment, and mocked coldly, "Perhaps they don't care to eat here at all, so how can these dishes suit your appetite! Dad, if you pick up food like this, it will make some people can't eat it even more!"
