Chapter 408 Ambiguity
"Brother Liancheng, drinking alcohol is harmful to your health. I brought some soothing tea from my hometown. I'll make you some. There are some green vegetables in the refrigerator. I'll stir-fry them with lard and make some porridge for you."

Cheng Lu opened the refrigerator while speaking.

"No need to bother you, Cheng Cheng. You've been so busy these days that you haven't had any time to rest. You should go to bed early." Qi Liancheng looked at the time. It was almost midnight. If he bothered Cheng Lu again at this time, he would be too cruel.

"It's okay, Brother Liancheng. You still have to go to work. You are the mainstay of the family. If you fail, no one will pay me."

Cheng Lu already had the vegetables in his hands and joked to Qi Liancheng.

Seeing Cheng Lu's insistence, Qi Liancheng didn't say anything more and put the beer he had just picked up back to its original place.

Looking at Cheng Lu busy in the kitchen, Qi Liancheng thought of Li Luo again. Did Li Luo also take care of the three children and Ling Zhuoqun in this way in the countryside?
Qi Liancheng couldn't help but be fascinated by the simple smell of fireworks. He walked into the kitchen and helped Cheng Lu pick vegetables.

Cheng Lu was startled by the sudden appearance of Qi Liancheng: "Brother Liancheng, please get out quickly. This kitchen is our world as women. You should just rest outside."

Cheng Lu put down the vegetables in her hand and reached out to push Qi Liancheng out of the door, but Qi Liancheng did not let Cheng Lu succeed and grabbed Cheng Lu's arm.

"Let me help you." Qi Liancheng put his face in front of Cheng Lu, and Cheng Lu quickly lowered his head to hide his blushing face.

Time seemed to have stopped. It was so quiet that one could hear the heartbeats of both people. It was clearly winter, but Qi Liancheng actually felt a little feverish.

"I didn't expect the kitchen to be so warm. Let me help you pick the vegetables. Otherwise, I don't know when I can eat the porridge you cooked."

It took a long time for Cheng Lu to calm his heartbeat. Seeing that Qi Liancheng was so persistent, he didn't want to continue the stalemate, so he handed the task of picking vegetables to Qi Liancheng and went to wash the millet.

By the time Cheng Lu had cooked the millet porridge, Qi Liancheng hadn't picked the vegetables yet and was sweating profusely.

"Those yellow leaves should be thrown away. When washing, the stems should be cleaned carefully, otherwise there will be dirt left."

"Also, these hard parts are not edible." Cheng Lu picked up a vegetable stalk and demonstrated to Qi Liancheng.

Qi Liancheng then realized that even choosing vegetables involves so much knowledge. When he first ate the lunch box made by Li Luo, he could only sigh that it was delicious and thought that cooking was just like that. Moreover, with Li Luo around, he didn't need to cook.

I didn't expect that after entering the kitchen, I found that I not only needed to wash and cut vegetables, but also prepare minced garlic, chili peppers, and bottles and jars of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and also wash the cutting board and clean out used bowls and basins at any time.

It takes at least half an hour to cook three or four dishes for a meal. During this half an hour, I have to run around the kitchen and keep an eye on the heat...

He never knew before that being a housewife could have such a hard life.

At first, he thought that women should stay in the kitchen, just cooking, what's so difficult about that? Is it harder than working to make money? But now, he has changed his mind.

Amidst a myriad of things, Cheng Lu had already cooked the meal and placed it on the dining table.

After cleaning up the kitchen, Cheng Lu took off her apron. Qi Liancheng was already sitting at the dining table, but he hadn't picked up his chopsticks for a long time.

"What's wrong, Brother Liancheng? Is the food I cooked not to your taste?"

Qi Liancheng raised his eyes and shook his head: "No, I just want to wait for you to eat with me. You have been busy for so long, you must be hungry." Cheng Lu was stunned. After all, Lin Ge never allowed him to eat with them. Whenever Cheng Lu ate with them, it was always Cheng Lu's turn to eat after they finished their meal.

Cheng Lu's nose felt a little sour: "No, Brother Liancheng, I'm not hungry."

"If you don't want to eat, then I won't eat either. If you let me eat alone, I can't eat."

Seeing Qi Liancheng was so tough, Cheng Lu no longer insisted, took his own bowl and chopsticks from the kitchen, and sat down.

"Brother Liancheng, try this dish. Although it is a cold dish that has been reheated, it is more flavorful." As he said that, Cheng Lu used his chopsticks to pick up a piece of pickled fish for Qi Liancheng.

Qi Liancheng put down his chopsticks and turned to look at Cheng Lu. Cheng Lu was a little confused and looked at Qi Liancheng with innocent eyes: "What's wrong, brother Liancheng, is there something on my face?"

"No, no." Qi Liancheng realized that his behavior was a bit abrupt and quickly retracted his gaze. For some reason, next to Cheng Lu, Qi Liancheng actually felt the warmth of home.

This is a feeling that Lin Ge and the Qi family have never felt before.

Cheng Lu is not as aggressive as Lin Ge, nor is she as knowledgeable, opinionated, and daring to love and hate as Li Luo. She is more like a docile little rabbit who will listen to him and ask for his opinion if she doesn't understand something.

This is his ideal marriage partner.

Moved by the thought, Qi Liancheng stretched out his hand and couldn't help but hold Cheng Lu's hand. Cheng Lu was stunned for a moment but did not move his hand away from Qi Liancheng's hand.

Ever since she and Qi Liancheng had sex, although they both tacitly kept silent about what happened that day, in Cheng Lu's heart, she already regarded Qi Liancheng as her man.

Although she usually tried her best not to have too much contact with Qi Liancheng, fearing that Lin Ge would misunderstand her, this just proved that she had something to hide.

"Brother Liancheng, you..." Cheng Lu wanted to ask Qi Liancheng whether he had her in his heart, but she was afraid that asking this question would only add to her troubles.

However, Qi Liancheng seemed to realize something and grabbed Cheng Lu's hand.

"Cheng Cheng, thank you for your hard work. You have given so much to our family. I really don't know how to repay you. Wait a few days, I will discuss with your sister-in-law and give you a raise."

When Qi Liancheng called her name, Cheng Lu's heart trembled. The magnetic voice immediately penetrated into Cheng Lu's ears, making her feel numb and tingling, and she couldn't help but tremble.

"What's wrong, Cheng Cheng?" Qi Liancheng approached Cheng Lu again.

Cheng Lu felt like she was holding a hot potato and almost screamed. Then she jumped up from her seat and pulled her hand back.

"Yes, I'm sorry Brother Liancheng, it's not good for us to do this." Cheng Lu folded his hands and clasped them together, frowning slightly, and his breathing was disordered.

"Sister Xiaoge is pregnant. If we do this, she will misunderstand us." Cheng Lu was so confused at this time that he didn't know what to do for a moment.

Qi Liancheng saw through Cheng Lu's thoughts. Looking at Cheng Lu's current appearance, he felt just like the fluttering expression he had when Li Luo was pursuing him.

Qi Liancheng pulled the flustered Cheng Lu into his arms, and Cheng Lu closed her eyes nervously...
