Chapter 394 - 372: You Have Delicious Food at Home
She casually uttered a sentence, which made Qiao Luchen’s heart tremble. Sitting across from her, he asked, "You want me to be home?"She picked up a piece of fish, eating as she spoke, "When you’re home, there’s good food."
Qiao Luchen’s smile was a bit bitter. So, it was just because of that.
Looking at her face, she was much thinner than when she first married him. Over the past six months, he had only cooked for her a few times. He didn’t even know how she was taking care of herself. "Has work been busy lately?"
Dudu nodded, talking to Qiao Luchen as if confiding in a friend, "Working overtime every night. I only sleep three or four hours a day."
"Take a leave and rest. Don’t wear yourself out."
"No need. A few new people joined the company today, so it won’t be busy anymore."
"That’s good."
They ate in silence. She didn’t know if it was disinterest or indifference, but she never asked about his recent situation.
"Someone moved in next door?" he asked.
Dudu shook her head, "Not sure."
"I saw someone delivering appliances this afternoon."
Dudu responded, "That’s good then."
She felt uneasy living alone at night. Whether there were neighbors next door always felt a bit creepy.
"This weekend is my mom’s birthday. Let’s go back together."
She bit her chopsticks, hesitated a bit reluctantly, and responded, "Oh."
Qiao Luchen glanced at her but said nothing more.
After dinner, she still cleaned up the kitchen. Compared to when they first got married, she had become much more capable. At least when he occasionally came home, the place wasn’t as messy as before.
"Do you have anything to do tonight?"
Qiao Luchen tilted his head to look at her and asked, "Why?"
"... just asking."
Even though they didn’t have many topics to talk about, having someone at home still made her feel more at ease.
Thinking about how he seldom came home or arrived very late, Dudu asked again, "Is there a lot going on at the hospital?"
"Occasionally."
Seeing her hesitate to speak, she eventually remained silent and walked towards her room, informing him, "I’m going to take a shower."
"Okay."
Watching her back, that door which cut off his view.
He put down the remote control and walked to the balcony, looking at the opposite balcony, where two sets of clothes were hanging: a shirt, a suit, and a men’s robe.
He always felt that the suit seemed familiar.
To confirm his thoughts, he immediately turned off the TV and went downstairs to the sales office.
"Hello, sir. How can I help you?"
"Can I see the owner information for unit 21-6?"
"I’m sorry, sir. We won’t disclose any owner’s private information casually."
Qiao Luchen thought for a moment, then took out his phone, found a photo of Shen Yiran online, and asked, "Is it this gentleman?"
The sales agent paused, looked at the photo. Shen Ershao was somewhat famous, and she recognized him at a glance. After a moment of hesitation, she nodded, "Yes."
"Are you sure?"
"I attended to this client last night. I won’t remember it wrong."
Indeed, it was him.
Putting away his phone, Qiao Luchen started walking back. Just then, he saw a black sedan approaching from a distance. He waited downstairs, extending a hand to stop the car when it parked.
Shen Yiran hit the brakes, rolled down the window, and looked at him.
Qiao Luchen smiled faintly, "Shen Ershao comes here often. You seem quite free."
Shen Yiran removed the car key, opened the door, and got out. His tall figure looked at Qiao Luchen without backing down, "The feng shui here is pretty good. I bought a place. Does Mr. Qiao have an issue with that?"
