Chapter 815 Seeing Through But Not Saying It
But Qin Hengzhi certainly wouldn't think too deeply about it.
Whenever Lu Qiaoge is involved, Qin Hengzhi will automatically block her out.
This person is intelligent and insightful.
Whether it's trust or love, it's the best interpretation right now.
As for exchanging cash for gold bars?
Yes, Qin Hengzhi is making it up to her.
Lu Qiaoge listened with a smile.
Then the eldest mouse specifically instructed: "Little master, you must pretend you don't know, otherwise there won't be any surprise..."
Lu Qiaoge assured her, "Don't worry, I definitely can't give myself away. I have to act really surprised and delighted."
After saying that, she turned the car around and drove back, leaving the little ones by the lake to continue playing.
Once out of the deserted area, she pedaled furiously, and the bicycle shot off like an arrow. Only when she reached a more populated area did she slow down and ride properly.
Before long, we arrived near the family compound.
She hasn't gone home these past few days, but Mengxia insists that she not, saying it's not far away, only a ten-minute walk, and it would be much better to have a ready-made meal.
Why insist on cooking at home?
We still need to buy vegetables and meat, and if we can't finish them, there will be leftovers, which is such a waste.
Lu Qiaoge couldn't refuse, and since Meng Xia was on winter vacation and had plenty of time, she let her make the arrangements.
However, she doesn't eat breakfast here; that's Qin Hengzhi's exclusive service.
Qin Hengzhi got up early in the morning, boiled an egg for her, toasted two slices of bread, and heated a cup of milk. It was a simple and comforting meal.
Occasionally, if he stayed up late the night before and couldn't get up the next day, Qin Hengzhi would go directly to the staff canteen to get something ready-made: steamed buns, pickled vegetables, and millet porridge. Then he would run back, and the workers who were getting up early for work would laugh and tease him.
Qin Hengzhi didn't hesitate and proudly told them that this was breakfast he had prepared for his wife.
Thinking of this, Lu Qiaoge smiled slightly. Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned the corner, she saw Dong Yulian standing in the cold wind, stamping her feet incessantly, her breath condensing into a ball in the cold air.
She wasn't specifically waiting for Lu Qiaoge, since she didn't know when Lu Qiaoge would come back, or even if he would come back at all.
It's just a matter of taking a chance.
But she still hesitated. What would it mean to go to someone's house in the middle of the day?
But if I don't go, where will I find Lu Qiaoge?
As she hesitated, she turned around and saw Lu Qiaoge riding her bicycle toward her.
Dong Yulian was stunned.
Riding a bicycle in the dead of winter in the north is definitely not a pleasant task.
The wind was like a knife slashing at my face, and my hands were frozen stiff. These days, bicycles are the main means of transportation; you can't do without them, and you have to use them all year round.
Therefore, unless there are special circumstances, many people would rather walk or take public transportation than suffer this pain.
Lu Qiaoge stopped the car, and Dong Yulian quickly went over and asked with concern, "Are you cold? Are your hands cold? I... I don't have anything important to do, you should go home quickly."
The worst thing about riding a bike in winter is that the brakes and chain can easily freeze, making it difficult to ride. You sweat as soon as you exert yourself, and when the cold wind blows, it seeps right into your bones. That alternating hot and cold feeling is incredibly uncomfortable.
Lu Qiaoge shook her head and smiled easily: "It's nothing, I ride like this all the time, I'm used to it. Sister Dong, are you waiting for me here? Is there something you need? It's too cold outside, why don't we come inside and talk?"
Dong Yulian quickly waved her hand. This won't do. What kind of behavior is it to go to someone's house in the middle of the day?
"I'll get straight to the point." She took a breath and composed herself. "Qiao Ge, I'm here... to explain what happened in the dorm that day."
“I caught a cold and then had a fever. Some of my girlfriends came to visit me, and somehow they started talking about Lin Chengze and Qi Shuang dating. I didn’t really like hearing that, and because of the fever, I was really delirious. Some of them said those things about you. At the time, I didn’t react, but now that I think about it, I think I did react then, but I felt really bad about Lin Chengze dating so quickly and preparing to remarry. I just let them criticize me, as if that would make me feel better. But I absolutely didn’t think this had anything to do with you, Qiao Ge. It’s Lin Chengze’s problem. Really, these are two different emotions, and I can distinguish them, but I didn’t explain or stop them in time. That was my fault. Maybe I still have a lot of problems… I feel really guilty. I’m sorry…”
Lu Qiaoge listened quietly without interrupting.
People change, and after her divorce, Dong Yulian's personality gradually changed.
She used to be very straightforward, decisive in her actions, and direct in her speech.
Just like her mother, the Iron Lady.
He was depressed for a time after the divorce.
Then she no longer viewed things and people the same way as before. She learned to be tactful, to be diplomatic, and to plan for herself.
Now that Lin Chengze is going on blind dates and remarrying, a new wave of emotions has arisen in her heart.
However, Lu Qiaoge still really likes people who can face their inner emotions directly.
After Dong Yulian finished speaking, Lu Qiaoge said, "Sister Dong, I won't take it to heart. I understand how you felt at the time. People are slow to react when they are sick. Besides, what's the point of explaining this? Even if you explain to someone who thinks that way, they will still think that way. It's really unnecessary. It might even lead to some other nonsense. Don't worry about it. Let them talk."
Dong Yulian really enjoyed listening to Lu Qiaoge talk.
She prefers people like that.
Dong Yulian nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, that's exactly right. They have absolutely nothing to do with each other, not related at all."
"Sister Dong, please don't worry about it. Go back quickly, it's still a bit cold outside," Lu Qiaoge said gently.
Dong Yulian and Lu Qiaoge exchanged a few more words before Dong Yulian turned and left.
I originally wanted to mention Qi Shuang, saying that the girl was quite nice, but seeing Lu Qiaoge's expression, I felt that there was no point in saying that.
Whether Qi Shuang is good or bad, what does it have to do with her?
She felt much relieved to be able to talk things out with Lu Qiaoge.
As Lu Qiaoge watched Dong Yulian's figure disappear from sight, she quickly pushed her bike home.
Qin Hengzhi returned for lunch; Meng Xia had already saved some for him.
However, Qin Hengzhi did not come empty-handed. He brought back fermented bean curd, braised pork, several large white steamed buns, and pickled radishes from the military representative's office, which whetted Lu Qiaoge's appetite.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Qin Hengzhi cleaned up the dishes and took her home.
These two people never actually had a fixed place to live, but no matter where they were, they could always make their house cozy.
As soon as she entered the room, she was greeted by a wave of warmth from the radiator. She took off her down jacket and smelled that familiar, comforting scent.
She turned her head and saw that Qin Hengzhi's down jacket was bulging inside. She reached out and touched it; it was hard and quite heavy.
"What are you carrying here? Rocks?" Lu Qiaoge asked, feigning curiosity.
Qin Hengzhi laughed, letting her touch him over and over.
