To My Dear Mr. Huo-Novel2

Chapter 726: Don’t Worry, It’s Not Poisoned

“You left without eating tonight. Eat something.”

Li Qianxue stood there without moving. She watched as Su Chenghui placed the bowl on the dining table. She could smell the faint aroma of food in the air.

Her lips were pursed into a straight line. Su Chenghui knew how to cook?

One of her hands was still hanging above her bag. The bag was already wet and there were still water droplets on it. She withdrew her fingertips and looked at Su Chenghui. historical

He had just showered. His hair was probably just dry blown, and there was still some moisture left.

He put the bowl in his hand on the dining table, turned around, and went back to the kitchen. Li Qianxue stood there and watched him bring out another bowl.

It was also at this time that she saw clearly that there was noodles in the bowl.

“Come and eat.” Su Chenghui called her. Li Qianxue stood there motionlessly. She took out her phone again and planned to call Xiao Zhao.

“You want Xiao Zhao to buy you clothes? Even if he comes, he won’t come so fast, right?”

“Or are you afraid that I will poison the noodles?”

Su Chenghui’s self-mockery did not receive Li Qianxue’s praise. She stood there with a cold expression on her face and stubbornly called Xiao Zhao.

No one picked up.

She did not give up and called again, but still no one picked up.

Li Qianxue wanted to curse. At every critical time, Xiao Zhao would drop the ball.

“Let’s eat. Aren’t you hungry?” Su Chenghui called her again. “If you don’t come over to eat, the noodles will get cold.”

Li Qianxue stood there without moving. Her lips were tightly pursed, and formed a cold straight line.

Holding her phone, she called Xiao Zhao again. Without waiting for the call to go through, Su Chenghui had already walked in front of her. He took the phone away and put it aside.

“It’s just a bowl of noodles. You don’t have to be so nervous, right?”

Before Li Qianxue could react, he had already brought her to the dining table, pulled out a chair, and asked her to sit down.

In front of her was a bowl of steaming noodles. When she sat down, she could smell the aroma of the food. The noodles were beef noodles.

There was thinly sliced stewed beef, followed by vegetables, and a layer of chopped green onions was sprinkled on them. It looked very delicious.

Li Qianxue sat there without moving until Su Chenghui stuffed a pair of chopsticks into her hands.

“Don’t worry, it’s really not poisoned.”

Li Qianxue held the chopsticks in her hands, and her body was a little stiff. Su Chenghui had already turned around and sat down on the other side.

Seeing that she was still in a daze, he looked up. “Are you really not hungry?”

Li Qianxue wanted to say that she was not hungry, but at this moment, her stomach let out a rumble. Her expression turned a little ugly.

She had a meeting at noon, but she did not feel like eating after lunch. In the evening, she went to the banquet hall. Before she had time to eat, she left early because she met Su Chenghui

“Eat, it won’t taste that bad.”

Li Qianxue was very picky with her food. Although the Li family usually focused on bland food, the bland food showed the skills of a chef.

Preserving the original flavor of the food was much more difficult than making heavy-flavored food. She didn’t want to eat it at first, but in this situation, whether she ate it or not didn’t seem to make any difference.

She went to Su Chenghui’s house, took a shower at his house, then ate.

Li Qianxue didn’t hesitate too much. She picked up some noodles and took a bite.

Just one bite made her stunned. The taste was indeed good.

It seemed easy to cook the noodles, but in fact, a little more or a little less heat would affect the texture of the noodles. She couldn’t help but look up at Su Chenghui.

He was focused on eating the noodles. Occasionally, when he looked up and met her gaze, he suddenly smiled.

“It tastes bad?”

Li Qianxue did not speak. With such noodles, she really could not say that it tasted bad. After all, it was not bad.

The bowl was a big bowl. She didn’t have a big appetite, so she put down her chopsticks after she finished half of it. In fact, she didn’t eat much in the evening.

Su Chenghui had a good appetite and finished all the noodles. He found that she still had half a bowl left. He didn’t force her to eat. Instead, he took her bowl and started eating.

“You –” Li Qianxue’s expression didn’t look good. “That’s what I’ve eaten before.”

“I know.”

“You know, but you’re still eating it?” Li Qianxue watched as Su Chenghui picked up the chopsticks that she had used before.

“It’s not good to waste food.” Su Chenghui’s words left Li Qianxue at a loss for words.

It’s not good to waste food? The Li family was considered a blue blood family. Although Old Master Li had always advocated frugality, it was impossible for the kitchen to cook exactly the right amount of food.

Why didn’t Su Chenghui do this in the past?

Before she could say anything, Su Chenghui had already finished her remaining noodles. Li Qianxue was very embarrassed.

He used her used chopsticks to eat her leftover noodles, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

She even had a feeling that he did it on purpose to make her uncomfortable.

Su Chenghui got up and put the bowl in the kitchen before coming out. There would naturally be a part-time worker to clean it up tomorrow. Now, he wanted to spend his time with Li Qianxue.

Li Qianxue went to the living room. She wanted to call Xiao Zhao again. Su Chenghui came over and sat down beside her.

“Aren’t you curious about how I know how to cook?”

Li Qianxue paused from making the call. “Why should I be curious?”

“But I want to tell you.”

“But I don’t want to know.”

Li Qianxue lowered her head and was about to make another call. Su Chenghui took her phone away again and put it aside.

“Do you know? Ever since I divorced you, I’ve learned a lot of things.”

“Really?” Li Qianxue was not in a hurry to snatch the phone back. “So, you should thank me for divorcing you?”

“I’m grateful to you, not because you divorced me.” Su Chenghui looked at her focused gaze, and his reflection could be seen in it. “But it’s because of your tolerance and patience toward me over the years.”

Putting aside the fact that he had replaced Su Qingsang and Su Peizhen, Su Chenghui also knew that he had not taken on the responsibility of being a husband to Li Qianxue all these years.

Li Qianxue seemed to be smart and capable, but she was very persistent in her relationship. She knew that he did not love her, but she still jumped in and endured him for so many years.

He had been working hard and getting close to her for more than a year, but it didn’t make Li Qianxue change her opinion of him.

But it had already made him feel uncomfortable, painful, and conflicted.

But what about Li Qianxue?

There were some things that couldn’t be thought about. Just thinking about it made her feel heart-wrenching pain.

Su Chenghui held Li Qianxue’s hand and looked at her with never-before-seen gentleness. “There were many things that I didn’t do well in the past, whether it was being a husband or a father, but I will work hard in the future. I will be a qualified husband and a qualified father.”

“Qianxue. I don’t expect you to give me a chance anymore. Whether you give me a chance or not, that is your freedom. I just hope that I can always follow you, accompany you, and help you when you need it. Whether you believe it or not, this is what I hope for now.”

His hand, with a burning warmth, held hers slightly tightly. Li Qianxue had once hoped that he had her in his eyes, but she could not see her in his eyes.

At this moment, she found herself in his eyes, and her shadow was everywhere.

Li Qianxue felt an electric current flowing from his hand to her hand, and then from her hand to her heart.

She clearly felt her heart beat faster. She tried to look away, then tried to pull her hand back.

But in front of her, there was only Su Chenghui’s serious face.

“I love you. I am willing to spend the rest of my life to fulfill you. I will let you know that I am serious.”

“Qianxue, please believe me. I really love you.”

The living room was very quiet. Even though Li Qianxue had reached this age, her experience in love was pitifully little.

All of her experience in love came from Su Chenghui.

Her silent reaction was not within Su Chenghui’s expectations. He thought that she did not believe him, and he did not intend to say more. It was better to do more than to say more. He would definitely show it to her.

“Qianxue, just look at me in the future.”

Li Qianxue still had not recovered from that discovery. Her phone suddenly rang. It was a phone call from Xiao Zhao.

Li Qianxue snapped back to reality and quickly withdrew her hand, then sat up straight. Her face was cold. “It’s no use. I don’t need your company, and I won’t need your help.”

“Qianxue?”

Li Qianxue didn’t look at him and picked up the phone.

“Madam, where are you?” Xiao Zhao had just gone to the bathroom. When he came back, he found that there were a few missed calls. “It’s still raining heavily. Are you still in the banquet hall? Do you want me to drive their to pick you up?”

“No need. I’m not in the hotel now. Come to Shengda Garden to pick me up.”

“Shengda Garden?” Xiao Zhao looked puzzled. “Why did you run to Shengda Garden?”

“Yes.” Li Qianxue did not want to explain further. “When you come over, bring me a set of clothes.”

“Clothes? Are your clothes wet?”

“Yes.” Li Qianxue looked at the time. “There should be a department store nearby that is not closed. After you buy clothes, come straight to pick me up. Drive the car directly to the underground parking lot of the eighth building.”

“Okay, I got it.”

Xiao Zhao hung up the phone. Li Qianxue found that Su Chenghui had gone to the kitchen at some point. When he came out again, he was holding a glass of fruit juice in his hand.

“Cherry juice that you like.”

Li Qianxue looked at the glass of fruit juice without reaching out her hand. She looked up at Su Chenghui with undisguised displeasure in her eyes. “Su Chenghui, don’t do these things. It’s useless.”

“Qianxue?”

“Whether you learn to cook or learn anything, it has nothing to do with me.” Li Qianxue’s voice was cold. “I don’t want to know and I don’t care. Of course, if you’re willing to stay away from me in the future, I think I’ll be more grateful to you.”

“...”

“The only thing I need you to do is to stay away from me and not appear in front of me again.”

“Okay, I got it.”

Su Chenghui nodded, but he still put the glass of juice in her hand. “However, I can’t stay away from you now. After all, you are at my house.”

“You –”

“Drink it. I see that you haven’t eaten much for dinner.”

Su Chenghui took her hand and let her take the glass of juice. “I squeezed it just now and put it in the refrigerator. It’s just right to drink it now.”

Li Qianxue held the glass of cold cherry juice and looked at Su Chenghui. In the end, she couldn’t help but say, “It seems that you’re getting better and better after leaving the Li Corporation. Not only do you have time to cook, but you also have time to do these things.”

“I’m doing alright.” Su Chenghui smiled. “In fact, I knew how to do these before the divorce. It’s just that I didn’t spend my time on this.”

After all, the Li family was not a place where he needed to take action.

“Nice disguise.”

He clearly knew how but pretended he couldn’t. After so many years, she was really fooled by him.

“Qianxue –”

“If it weren’t for the fact that you couldn’t control the weather, I would have reason to suspect that even if there wasn’t this rain today, you would have thought of a way to bring me here, right?”

“Qianxue, I’m not as scheming as that.”

“Yes, you’re not that scheming. You just have a way to deceive me and take revenge on me.”

“Qianxue.”

“That’s enough. I don’t want to talk to you. Now either you walk away, or I walk away.”

Su Chenghui looked at her side profile and couldn’t say that he didn’t want to walk away. In the end, he could only stand up and return to his room.

Not long after Su Chenghui returned to his room, Xiao Zhao, who was carrying a few bags, arrived..

Other than bags with luxury custom-made clothes, there were also clothes from few brands that Li Qianxue liked. Xiao Zhao was her chauffeur. Every time she went shopping, Xiao Zhao would help her carry the bags.

There were a few staff members at the counter who knew him. Without needing him to say anything, they directly matched a set of clothes and sent them to Li Qianxue.

“Wait for me for a while. I’ll change my clothes and go home.”

Li Qianxue changed her clothes and came out. She found that Su Chenghui had also left the room.

Seeing her come out, Su Chenghui looked a little disappointed. “You’re leaving?”

Li Qianxue didn’t even look at Su Chenghui as she walked forward.

“Qianxue –”

Li Qianxue heard him and left without looking back. Su Chenghui stood there and watched her disappear behind the door.

He turned around and saw the cup of fruit juice on the coffee table. She didn’t drink it at all. It was still full.

Su Chenghui took a step forward and took a sip of the cherry juice. He had tasted it before. It was sweet. Now that he was drinking it again, it felt extremely bitter.

..

When Li Qianxue entered the venue, she saw a few familiar faces. Today was the award ceremony for the top ten young men in Lin City.

She was invited to be the presenter. With her status in Lin City, she was indeed very suitable.

The Li family had never minded promoting newcomers. Among the top ten young men last year, there was also Huo Jinyao and Chou Yanbo.

She had already glanced at the top ten young men this year. She realized that apart from Wang Tao and Wei Ting, she did not know anyone else.

It was normal for Wang Tao to be chosen first. As the Tianyu Group’s Lin City executive and the decision-makier for Tianyu Group’s direction, he was worthy of this award.

However, she did not expect Wei Ting to win this award. It surprised her a little.

After entering the door, she sat at the front. Coincidentally, she saw a few familiar faces. Li Junsheng, Chief Zhou, Chief Chen, Chief Gao, and Secretary Li, these old acquaintances, were all here.

After greeting the executives, she sat down on the seat with her name tag. When she sat down, she also saw that the seat next to her was Su Chenghui’s.

Li Qianxue’s face darkened when she saw his name. He was really everywhere.

The more she didn’t want to see him, the more he appeared. Li Qianxue stared at the name card with the words “Su Chenghui” written on it. Her eyes were gloomy.
