Pei Jingzhou said meaningfully, âA world with more people might be more lively.â
Shao Jingmo raised his eyebrows. âNot necessarily. Didnât Mr. Pei send the children to the old man just to have some alone time with your wife?â
Pei Jingzhou raised his eyes and smiled. âIt depends on how one understands it. â
Shao Jingmo smiled without saying anything.
At the kitchen door, Qiao Qiao poked her head out and said to Li xmru, âThey get along very well.â
Li Xiwu, who was washing the vegetables, couldnât help but laugh. âAre you worried that they will fight?â
âHey, Bae, donât say that. If they fight, do you think President Pei or Little Uncle will win?â Curiosity suddenly rose in her heart.
Li Xiwu smiled. âYou want the truth?â
Qiao Qiao immediately raised her hand and gestured. âLet me make it clear first. You canât give me face on purpose.â
âIâm really not giving you face.â Li Xiwu drained all the vegetables, picked up the corner of her apron, and wiped her hands. âIf they really fight, itâs indeed your man who would win. Fourth Brother was injured because of me in
Country T a few years ago, so his body has actually not recovered much.â
Qiao Qiao looked at Li Xiwu worriedly. âIf President Pei is not in good health, will your relationship be harmonious?â
Li Xiwu was stunned at first, then she chuckled. âQiaoâer, should I say that you have a lot of trash in your head?â
Qiao Qiao said in all seriousness, âAs the saying goes, a parentâs love for their son is far-reaching. If it were you and me, this sentence would have the same meaning. â
Li Xiwu gently pushed Qiao Qiaoâs shoulder. âWhoâs the parent and whoâs the beloved son? Youâre taking advantage of me so well.â
âOf course.â Qiao Qiao was modest at all.
Tonight, Qiao Qiao was in charge of the kitchen. Li Xiwu was in charge of helping out, such as washing the vegetables, peeling the garlic, and cutting the vegetables. Qiao Qiao had prepared most of them before Li Xiwu came,
The two of them chatted about the modern criminal investigation drama that Qiao Qiao had invested in this time and how much more popular it would probably become in the future. In fact, Qiao Qiaoâs heart had already been refreshed countless times by the results of this drama. She would receive good news every day.
In Li Xiwuâs analysis, âWith such a theme and team, coupled with such results,
I dare say that there wonât be another similar theme in the next two years.â
These words hit Qiao Qiaoâs heart. âThis is happier than me acting in it myself.â
âYou should be happy.â Li Xiwu said truthfully, âThe industry is now talking about the success of this drama. The script is well written, the cast is well chosen, and the production is very diligent. In addition to your huge investment, this drama has more resources to choose their spots. Now, be it directors, actors, investors, sponsors, or video websites, itâs all a win-win situation.â
Li Xiwuâs words were not exaggerated at all. The success of this drama had indeed caused a huge storm in the industry.
Qiao Qiao shrugged and giggled. âBae, if you continue to flatter me like this, Iâm going to be smug.â
Li Xiwu supported herself with one hand on the stove and looked up at Qiao Qiao with a smile. âl donât usually agree with being high-profile, but this time, you should be smug.â
Qiao Qiao laughed out loud. But as she laughed, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. At first, she didnât think much of it, thinking that she was laughing too hard to control her breath. However, when she scooped up the braised pig trotters in the pot, the feeling that something was wrong rushed to her heart.
Qiao Qiao remained in the position of holding the tray and didnât move. Li Xiwu realized that something was wrong and came over to ask, âDid you forget to put something in?â
Qiao Qiao slowly turned to look at Li Xiwu. She didnât say a word, but she looked a little uncomfortable. Li Xiwuâs heart skipped a beat. She hurried forward to help her catch the plate and put it aside. She held Qiao Qiao. âNot feeling well? Is it your heart or something?â âUghâ¦â Qiao Qiao covered her mouth.
Li Xiwu:
Qiao Qiao waved her hand to indicate that she was fine. However, the next second, she couldnât help but retch uncontrollably beside the kitchen trash can. She wasnât retching loudly. Coupled with the fact that the living room was a distance from the kitchen, Shao Jingmo didnât hear her.
Li Xiwu quickly squatted down and patted Qiao Qiaoâs back gently with her palm to calm her down. âDid you taste the uncooked spring bamboo shoots just now?â
âNo.â As soon as she said no, the wave of nausea washed over her. Qiao Qiao couldnât suppress this nausea no matter what. It was as if her stomach was churning and the nausea was very strong..
