Chapter 267 Willing to vote for him
Although Su Lejia and Zhou Junxuan's wedding tomorrow will be held in Kyoto, a city away from home, both families are quite particular about the procedures and ceremonies.
Therefore, only the location of the bride and groom's homes was slightly changed.
Instead of the traditional bride's home, the wedding procession will take place in the new house where the couple is currently staying. The groom's departure point will be the apartment where Su Lejia and Zhou Junxuan previously lived together.
In other words, the wedding reception still has to be held, and the bride and groom both have to get up early tomorrow morning.
Jiang Qin will also be attending Su Lejia's wedding as a bridesmaid, so she will have to get up early as well.
In addition, according to custom, many female relatives and friends of Su Lejia, the bride, will come to her home early tomorrow morning to help "block the door".
For both reason and emotion, it was definitely inconvenient for Horstley to stay in their new room that night.
While having dinner together, Jiang Qin wanted to find a time to tell him.
But she couldn't find a good opportunity to talk to him—after they started eating, he was either putting food on her plate or paying attention to her, putting food on her plate and interacting with her.
Seeing his expression, Jiang Qin thought for a moment and decided to wait until after dinner to discuss it further.
Unexpectedly, just as they were about to speak, someone who had finished their meal saw that they had finished eating and, together with Zhou Junxuan who was already wearing an apron, came over to clear the dishes.
The way he busied himself with everything seemed to give him the air of a virtuous husband and father.
She opened her mouth, but then closed it in surprise at what she saw.
But if she didn't say anything this time, Jiang Qin was afraid that she would have to postpone it again. However, just as she was about to go to the kitchen, Tian Tian grabbed her hand again.
"Mommy, Mommy! Auntie just said there's a really funny animated cat movie, Mommy, let's watch it together~?"
Sweetie's tone was slightly coquettish, and Su Lejia, Sweetie's doting aunt, had already diligently searched for the movie.
And they thoughtfully lowered the projection screen.
As the movie started playing, Tian Tian became even more excited, gripping Jiang Qin's hand even tighter.
"Mommy, let's watch together~!" Sweetie said, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Jiang Qin.
Jiang Qin glanced at the kitchen, probably worried that the noise from cleaning up the dishes and the kitchen would disturb them.
The kitchen door was also closed.
Jiang Qin sighed inwardly. What else could she do now that things had come to this?
How could she bear to be stared at so longingly by her own adorable daughter?
So she did see it, but she kept thinking about it, figuring that once Horley finished cleaning up in the kitchen, she absolutely had to remind him that he couldn't stay here tonight.
I absolutely cannot stay here by acting cute or charming—
Tomorrow this place is a very important location for the wedding procession. It would be very improper for him, a man, to stay here alone.
Moreover, Su Lejia's other female relatives and friends, as well as her bridesmaids and father, may arrive at any time tomorrow morning; they might even come from the hotel early in the morning in their excitement.
Even if Horstley leaves earlier, the two sides are still very likely to run into each other.
Although they are best friends, some people may not be aware of this. Besides, at times like these, it's precisely because they are best friends that they are close.
There are some things that require more attention.
Jiang Qin didn't want her best friend's important life event to go wrong because of the people associated with her at such a crucial moment.
Therefore, even if there is only the slightest chance that something might go wrong at her best friend's wedding tomorrow, she will nip it in the bud and prevent it from becoming a reality.
With something on her mind, Jiang Qin stared at the movie, but couldn't concentrate on it at all.
I glanced at Sweetie, who was engrossed in watching, and then glanced at the kitchen.
Jiang Qin kept thinking about it, afraid that she might forget it later or not find a suitable time to speak.
The laughter of Tian Tian and Su Lejia filled the living room; the two, one big and one small, clearly had similar tastes.
I couldn't stop laughing while watching this hilarious movie.
Jiang Qin continued to ponder her thoughts, but to her great surprise...
The kitchen door opened, and she instinctively turned around, about to speak.
Huo Sili, however, was one step ahead of her and said, "Then I'll head back first. See you at the hotel and the wedding tomorrow."
As he spoke, the dark eyes on his handsome face looked at her with exceptional tenderness.
Jiang Qin had already thought of the reminder many times in her mind, but it just got stuck in her throat.
"..." Who understands this kind of thing that I've been pondering for a long time?
What happens when, at the crucial moment, the other person speaks first?
Although the feeling was a bit complicated, it made her feel relieved that Horstley had this self-awareness.
Jiang Qin was about to nod and say "okay".
A small head popped up a second before her.
"Daddy, aren't you going to stay?"
The little boy's voice was filled with confusion, and it wasn't hard to hear a hint of worry in it.
As she spoke, Tian Tian pointed to the sky outside and asked, "It's so dark outside, Daddy, are you going home alone?"
Jiang Qin: "..."
Huo Sili glanced at Jiang Qin, then looked at Tian Tian and smiled, "Yes, Tian Tian, don't worry, Daddy will take care of your safety."
After saying that, he added, "Daddy's leaving now. Sweetie and Mommy, get some rest. Goodnight."
Sweetie's eyes showed reluctance. She looked up at Jiang Qin without saying a word, but she looked pitiful.
Huo Sili waved in their direction, and only then did Jiang Qin notice that he was carrying something black in one hand.
But she didn't look closely before turning around and hugging Tian Tian, gently comforting and explaining.
"Aunt and Uncle are getting married tomorrow, so it's inconvenient for Daddy to stay here. Sweetie and Daddy will be able to meet tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Sweetie was still a little disappointed. She thought her dad would stay with her mom and mom tonight.
The result was not so.
There's a feeling of disappointment.
But after thinking about what Mommy said, Sweetie quickly cheered up and waved to Horsley.
"Daddy, get some rest too, goodnight!"
Huo Sili smiled sweetly and gently at Jiang Qin, and the next second, he looked at her expectantly.
Jiang Qin was a little reluctant to speak, but Tian Tian followed closely behind, looking over expectantly with bright, sparkling eyes that were hard to ignore.
Jiang Qin finally opened her mouth and said to Huo Sili, "Good night."
His tone sounded indifferent.
But Huo Sili was already satisfied, and his already upturned lips curled up even more.
"Goodnight, wife. I'm off now. See you tomorrow," Huo Sili said to Jiang Qin.
Then he looked at Tian Tian and said, "Tian Tian, see you tomorrow, Daddy's leaving."
Su Lejia, sitting next to him: "..."
She's still here, okay? How long does this guy have to keep going on and on after a simple "goodnight"?
"And, wife," Su Lejia glanced at Jiang Qin.
Before he finished speaking, several glances were exchanged, already brimming with gossip.
[What's going on with you two? You're both calling each other "wife" now?]
[What stage is the reconciliation process at? Is it that fast?]
I thought you two had made up, but is this what you call making up?
Honey, confess and you'll be treated leniently!
Jiang Qin, who perfectly understood her best friend's look, was speechless.
He silently returned a glance.
Let's talk about it after the wedding.
As he spoke, he glanced at the door again, as if possessed, and saw Horstley turning around, opening the door, and stepping out.
This time she noticed the black thing she had seen Horstley carrying earlier; it turned out...
These are garbage bags used in the kitchen to hold food waste!
He went downstairs and took the trash with him.
Although the matter was small, it was easy to see how meticulous and considerate he was when dealing with important people and things.
In an instant, Jiang Qin recalled Huo Sili from four years ago.
At this moment, time seemed to flow backward, just like the year of cold war in between, and the three years they were apart.
They no longer exist.
Su Lejia was exchanging glances with Jiang Qin when she suddenly saw her best friend turn around and look at someone.
She looked over, but there was no sign of him at the doorway.
The doors are all closed!
Su Lejia raised an eyebrow and pursed her lips.
Okay, okay, her best friend is definitely starting to have feelings for someone again!
Thinking of this, Su Lejia couldn't help but feel a bit complicated and emotional.
Just then, Tian Tian looked over and exclaimed, "Hey, Auntie, your eyebrows are amazing! They can move!"
Su Lejia: "...?"
"Auntie, can I move it a little more? Sweetie wants to touch it."
Jiang Qin heard her daughter's voice and came back to her senses. She saw Su Lejia raising her eyebrows in a very doting and sweet manner.
Sweetie gently touched Su Lejia's raised eyebrows, her eyes full of admiration.
"Sweetie wants to move too." She strained.
I can't learn it.
Su Lejia smiled and said, "No rush, Tiantian will naturally learn it as she grows up."
At this moment, Zhou Junxuan, who had been surprised for a moment, also came out of the kitchen.
As the groom, he had to go back to his apartment first, as he needed to drive the wedding car to pick up the bride tomorrow, so he couldn't rest here tonight.
After saying goodbye to the three, Zhou Junxuan went outside, but the surprise in his mind had not yet subsided—
Just now in the kitchen, he watched as Horstley, wearing gloves, carefully wiped the stove and range hood clean.
He then went to wash a clay pot and a rice cooker that he hadn't had time to wash.
Not only did he clean the items, he also asked him where they should be placed, and arranged them according to his request.
Wash the damp cloth thoroughly, wring it out, and hang it up. After wiping away any water stains, wash the dry cloth thoroughly and put it back in its original place.
Zhou Junxuan considers himself a person who is quite fastidious about hygiene and has some obsessive-compulsive tendencies in his daily life.
Therefore, when Horstley first followed him in to wash the dishes, he was actually quite resistant, but because of that relationship, he couldn't say anything, so he was mentally prepared to endure a mess.
But what happened next was quite unexpected!
When the elevator reached the first floor, Zhou Junxuan was quite surprised.
Especially when he recalled how, after Horstley finished washing those things, he had proactively asked if there was anything else he needed him to wash.
Zhou Junxuan was even more stunned. No, this... this is what a domineering CEO should do?
Isn't it said that people raised in those kinds of families would never do these kinds of housework?
Sure enough, even domineering CEOs have to be categorized.
Not every domineering CEO never lifts a finger to wash dishes!
Then I remembered that Horsley had taken the trash with him before he left...
Zhou Junxuan nodded in agreement.
Well, putting everything else aside, this guy is definitely quite capable in life.
If the two get back together, he'll likely vote for him because of what just happened.
