Chapter 174 What will they say about her behind her back?
Outside, gossip stirred up a storm, while inside, people lived in a peaceful and noisy atmosphere.
He Qiaoyun was busy in the kitchen when Liu Biao came in, rolled up his sleeves, pulled Feng Jiashu into the kitchen, and kicked her out, saying, "Don't do it, I'll do it."
Feng Jiashu also said, "Yes, you should rest."
Helpless, He Qiaoyun left the kitchen, wiped her hands, and went to the yard to feed the rabbits and pet the dogs with Tian Tian.
She held the fluffy puppy and asked, "Does it have a name?"
Tian Tian said, "Little White."
He Qiaoyun smiled, "It's good."
Tian Tian put down the grass leaves, pulled up a small chair, sat down next to He Qiaoyun, and looked at her with her big eyes, "Aunt He, why don't you go back?"
He Qiaoyun stroked the puppy intermittently, organizing her thoughts as she said, "Because Auntie has her own things to do, she doesn't have time to go back."
Tian Tian pressed on, "When will you be done with your work so you can come back and live with us?"
He Qiaoyun couldn't bear the child's intense gaze, and looked away guiltily, "I don't know yet, but I'll tell you when I'm done with my work."
Tian Tian didn't get a definite answer, so she just gave a dry "oh" and got up to continue feeding the rabbits.
After playing with the dog for a while, He Qiaoyun took out her phone to check messages.
After feeding the rabbit, Tian Tian chased after the dog, getting all sweaty.
He Qiaoyun also felt hot, so she invited her into the house and habitually reached out to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
Tian Tian didn't flinch, but stared blankly at her, lost in thought.
He Qiaoyun didn't think much of it. She took her hand away, took out two more tissues to carefully wipe her sweat, and then let her wipe the sweat off her back herself before turning on the air conditioner in the room.
The two sat on the sofa, one holding a phone replying to messages, the other holding a puppy and watching cartoons.
Before we knew it, time had passed, and the dishes were served.
We ate for four people, and we made five dishes and a soup, along with various snacks we bought at the market. When we put them on the table, it felt like a restaurant.
Liu Biao was sweating profusely from cooking the dishes, but he still smiled and boasted to He Qiaoyun, "Qiaoyun, I cooked all the dishes."
Seeing that both of them had sweat on their foreheads, He Qiaoyun said, "You've worked hard, coming all this way. I should be the one cooking for you."
Liu Biao waved his hand, "Don't be so polite, we're like family."
Feng Jiashu smiled faintly, "Since you bought the vegetables, that's already a treat."
He Qiaoyun smiled, "Come and sit down at the table."
The four sat down, and Liu Biao, not even bothering to eat, kept a close eye on He Qiaoyun's movements the whole time. "You'll definitely like this steamed fish."
He Qiaoyun took a bite of the fish and gave it a thumbs up in appreciation, "Delicious."
Liu Biao laughed, "Right? I knew you liked this kind of thing. It hasn't changed in decades."
After saying that, he glanced at Feng Jiashu with a smug look on his face, as if showing off that he had won He Qiaoyun's heart through her stomach.
Feng Jiashu said, "Qiaoyun, I've already started learning to cook."
He Qiaoyun suddenly looked up at him and nodded hesitantly, "Mm."
Actually, he doesn't need to learn to cook at all; he has a nanny and a professional chef.
Liu Biao simply couldn't understand how a man who couldn't cook could be such a failure and a monster, and his gaze towards Feng Jiashu became even more disdainful.
We chatted while eating, and with the time spent cooking, it was already past 1:30 when we finished lunch, and the clock slowly ticked down.
Since they had cooked, He Qiaoyun cleared the table.
Liu Biao, quick to notice the task, immediately took over, saying, "Washing the dishes is a piece of cake. You're going to meet the supermarket staff to see the grapes later, so go and get ready. Don't rush."
Feng Jiashu also said, "Yes, you should go and get busy."
He Qiaoyun glanced at the time; it was indeed getting late. She replied, "Then thank you for your trouble."
The two waved their hands, "It's not hard work."
After saying that, she picked up her phone. The supermarket manager had sent her a message saying they would be there soon, probably in about ten minutes.
She put down her phone, went to the bathroom to rinse her mouth, applied a very light lipstick, and hurriedly put on her shoes.
Tian Tian, holding the puppy, quietly watched her put on her shoes while replying to WeChat messages, and asked, "Aunt He, are you going out? Can I come with you?"
He Qiaoyun said, "Auntie has to go to talk to someone and can't take you with her." She took out a set of spare keys and gave them to her. "These are the house keys. Remember to take them if you go out."
Tian Tian obediently took the key, "Okay, I understand."
He Qiaoyun didn't linger any longer, picked up her car keys and went out.
She rushed out the door, while the two men quietly washed the dishes in the kitchen.
Feng Jiashu asked, "What are your plans for later?"
Liu Biao glanced back at him, but instead of answering, he asked, "And you?"
Feng Jiashu said, "I'll stay a little longer and then go back to the city."
Liu Biao raised an eyebrow, his tone nonchalant, "Oh, go back then."
Feng Jiashu then asked, "And you? When are you coming back?"
Liu Biao turned his back and said while rinsing the dishes, "Mind your own business and leave me alone."
Feng Jiashu put down the plate in his hand, his tone somewhat serious: "Are you really planning to spend the night at her place?"
Liu Biao, somewhat impatient, turned around and stared at him, his tone hostile, "So what? Hey, no, where I spend the night is none of your business. Do you live by the sea? Why are you so nosy?"
Feng Jiashu was not intimidated at all. He looked straight at him and said, "You may not care if she, a woman, leaves a man at home overnight, but she will continue to live here in the future. In a village where gossip is most likely to spread, what do you think the neighbors will think of her and how they will talk about her behind her back?"
"If you really care about her, consider her reputation as well."
These words gradually deflated Liu Biao's arrogant temper.
He was a rough man and never expected women to be so complicated.
For a moment, they were speechless.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Feng Jiashu knew that he had taken it to heart, so he stopped talking and turned around to continue washing the dishes.
Although these words made Liu Biao realize the truth, he disliked Feng Jiashu even more.
Being exposed as stupid by a love rival is a painful experience for anyone.
But there's nothing you can do about him.
He turned around and continued washing the dishes.
In no time, the two of them had cleaned and tidied the kitchen.
The two walked out of the kitchen and glanced at the time; it was already 2:30 in the afternoon.
Seeing the slippers He Qiaoyun had taken off by the door, I knew she had gone out.
Liu Biao sat down on a single sofa and texted He Qiaoyun on his phone.
Feng Jiashu sat down on another single sofa, facing Liu Biao.
Tian Tian handed a set of keys to Feng Jiashu and whispered, "Aunt He said we need to take the keys when we go out."
Feng Jiashu took the keys, glanced at the scorching sky outside the window, and said, "It's too hot now, let's just stay inside."
Tian Tian nodded and made a "shh" gesture at him, "Xiao Bai is asleep, don't wake it up."
Feng Jiashu nodded slightly and remained silent.
