BXBX NOVEL Chapter 270: 270: Starting from People Around Him_1
Ding Yinuo did not conceal anything and brought two bottles of medicine to me.
“This is from Dr. Jia!”
“Huh? I’m not sick, why do I need medicine?”
“It’s a supplement, a type of lutein to nourish your eyes and brain…”
I took the bottles. There were two big ones, one red and one blue.
The lettering on the packaging was all foreign to me.
But there was a brain icon, so I assumed it meant it was for the brain without giving it much thought.
The packaging looks expensive, should I reimburse your colleague, to decline his offer?”
“No, no need! His dinner fee basically evened out!”
“Seriously, why are you calculating it like this?”
“No, I didn’t calculate it… it’s just a gift he brought when he came for dinner!”
Ding Yinuo’s explanation seemed reasonable, so I didn’t give it much thought.
After dinner, I sat on the sofa and chatted with Mrs. Ding for a while.
With Ding Yinuo by my side, he was not idle, peeling an apple slowly at my side.
After peeling it, he cut it into a very cute rabbit shape and placed it in front of me on a fruit plate.
“Have some fruit!”
“Ding Yinuo, you are quite skilled, even able to plate fruit!”
“Yes, once we get married, you will find out that I’m skilled at other things too.”
“Cough…”
I almost choked on a bite of the apple.
He really dares to say such shameless things, even in front of his mother.
Unlike her son, Mrs. Ding was not shy and encouraged us with a laugh,
“It would be great if you two could get married sooner.”
Ding Yinuo held my hand tightly, ten fingers intertwined, and laughed at his mother,
“As long as we love each other, there is no rush to get married.”
“Oh, you silly child! Don’t you understand what I’m trying to tell you! Okay, I won’t rush you two anymore, let nature take its course.”
In fact, I knew Ding Yinuo was trying to defuse the situation for me.
Because the one who does not want to get married is me, not him.
We stayed at Ding’s house for another hour before we returned to Xishan Residence.
On the way, Ding Yinuo said,
“I have booked the tickets, let’s leave this weekend!”
“Where to?”
“Let’s go abroad for a while, to take some time off and clear our minds.”
“Not good, Yinuo, I have something to do tomorrow, the day after… Maybe, let’s postpone it a bit longer, how about next weekend?”
Ding Yinuo stroked my cheek and unconditionally agreed to my request, “Okay!”
He always lets me have my way.
He went to park the car while I went into the bedroom.
When I came out of the shower, he was standing in the bedroom waiting for me.
With his head lower, he was smoking with his perfect side profile concealed in shadows, it felt gloomy.
He was smoking, looking rather dispirited.
He seemed to be worrying about something. I cleared my throat.
He looked up at me, a smile quickly spread across his face, following the gleam in his eyes.
The gloom was completely dispelled, replaced by warmth that filled the room.
“Yinuo, what’s wrong? Anything happened at the company while I was away?”
Ding Yinuo took out a stack of documents,
“Nothing big, it’s just the upcoming Valentine’s Day fashion show. I haven’t picked a proper piece, take a look!”
“Is Jia Yuyan’s design not good?”
“Her style leans towards traditional Chinese, as you know, Valentine’s Day is a western holiday, western clothing will be more popular. Here are some new pieces, take a look.”
Ding Yinuo handed me the file.
I took a look, basically rejected all of them.
These pieces were designed by old employees of Ding Yinuo’s company, they were nothing special, not in line with the tastes of today’s young people.
“I’ll do it myself! I can design some new pieces tonight…”
“No, you need to rest!”
Ding Yinuo warned sternly.
I smiled, “Don’t worry, I actually have some older pieces that I can modify a bit to enter into the fashion show.”
“Okay!”
Designing clothing was my specialty, and my passion.
Back when I was expecting my eldest daughter with Gu Yuanzhou, my creative juices were flowing and I designed a lot of pieces.
I didn’t want to sell those beautiful dresses, preferring to keep them for Xiaoyi’s exclusive wardrobe when she grows up.
Unfortunately, my Xiaoyi will never grow up.
Keeping these pieces is turning into a regret.
I opened my email on the computer, printed out the archived designs, then modified and colored them one by one.
While I was focused on my work, Ding Yinuo was always by my side, he didn’t talk.
The light from the desk lamp was warm.
His face was gentle and his gaze serene.
Amazingly, it seemed he could read my mind.
He would know what tool I needed just by the look in my eye, a pencil, an eraser, paint…
He always guessed my needs accurately.
I felt most relaxed when collaborating with him.
We stayed up till 3 a.m. before I finished modifying all the drawings.
I also came up with a name for the new collection, The Love of the Heart…
Then, I wrote a promotional plan.
At 3:30 a.m., I fell asleep on the bed.
When I woke up, it was already afternoon the next day.
Ding Yinuo was gone. He took the designs I completed yesterday for production and preparation for the contest.
There was a note left on the table.
“Breakfast is in the rice cooker, remember to take your medicine after your meal. You will continue your break today, I am off to the company!”
Those brief words warmed my heart.
I entered the kitchen and saw rock candy and snow frog in the rice cooker… it looked delicious.
With one scoop, it tasted pretty good.
Half an hour later, I received a call… it was urgent, I hurriedly put the half-eaten snow frog back into the cooker, rinsed my face, changed clothes, and left the house.
In the coffee shop, I met that woman!
As the legitimate wife of a wealthy family, her austere clothes and haggard face took me by surprise.
“Hello… I’m Song Xiaoyun. Are you Qi Ming’s wife?”
The woman rose awkwardly to greet me, “Yes! I am Liu Yu… You asked me to come here as my husband has caused some trouble outside, what has he done?”
