Chapter 347 The three of us are a family
Yu Qiaoqiao doesn't know yet that her "secret" is about to be exposed.
She raised her head slightly, looked at Chen Yan above her head in confusion, and whispered, "What do you mean by losing weight? I... didn't lose weight."
"Didn't lose weight?" This time it was Chen Yan's turn to be surprised.
He looked at Yu Qiaoqiao's expression and felt that it did not seem fake.
Suddenly he felt that something was wrong.
Because if he only saw Yu Qiaoqiao digging grass today, it could be said that Yu Qiaoqiao had developed a new hobby.
However, if we add what Zhao Ying said, "picking up plastic bottles", "digging grass on the roadside", and "going to a faraway market to buy cheap vegetables", then it cannot be explained.
There is only one thing in common in these things: Yu Qiaoqiao is saving money.
When Chen Yan was analyzing the situation just now, he also considered whether Yu Qiaoqiao was frugal now because she grew up in an orphanage.
But this idea was rejected as soon as it came up.
It’s not that Yu Qiaoqiao is not frugal, but because she has never reached this level before.
When Chen Yan first came to live here, Yu Qiaoqiao was very frugal, but she still bought things that needed to be bought, such as some very cheap and affordable potted plants worth three or four yuan that she bought online.
When buying vegetables, she would try to buy some of the core dishes that Chen Yan liked to eat.
But now, it's completely different.
Before, Chen Yan believed Zhao Ying's twisted logic because he really thought there was no other possibility. That's why he believed it.
Now seeing Yu Qiaoqiao denying it, Chen Yan suddenly felt that something was wrong.
He reached out and turned off the fire on the gas stove. Amid Yu Qiaoqiao's exclamation, he turned her body towards him, looked into her eyes, and asked seriously, "So what have you been doing recently?"
Seeing Chen Yan's serious expression, Yu Qiaoqiao was shocked. A trace of panic flashed in her big eyes, and she had some ominous premonitions in her heart. She looked at Chen Yan pitifully and asked timidly, "You, what are you talking about? What am I doing..."
Chen Yan looked at her and said, "Just what you have done recently."
“Go pick up plastic bottles, go dig grass… go to a market far away and buy very cheap vegetables.”
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Yu Qiaoqiao's face suddenly became unnatural. She lowered her head and said softly, "I, I just like it."
If Chen Yan didn’t feel something was wrong after seeing Yu Qiaoqiao’s expression, then there would be something fishy going on.
So he turned on his [inner earphones] without hesitation , wanting to find out the truth.
The surrounding environment gradually faded away, leaving only the sound of Yu Qiaoqiao's heartbeat "bang, bang, bang..." ringing in Chen Yan's ears.
Compared to her usual quiet and steady heartbeat, this time her heartbeat was much faster, and it was obvious that she was feeling uneasy.
Maybe because Chen Yan was asking about this matter, Yu Qiaoqiao kept telling him what happened during this period in her heart.
Listening to Yu Qiaoqiao's inner thoughts, Chen Yan finally understood the whole story and his expression became increasingly gloomy.
Maybe after "lying", Yu Qiaoqiao didn't hear Chen Yan's reply, so she couldn't help but look up timidly and wanted to see Chen Yan.
As a result, as soon as she looked up, her eyes met Chen Yan's.
At that moment, she felt as if she was standing in front of Chen Yan without any clothes on. Everything about her, including her body and her secrets, was seen by Chen Yan.
She was startled and tried to lower her head in panic.
But before she could lower her head, Chen Yan pinched her oval chin.
Feeling the gentle but unquestionable strength in Chen Yan's hand, Yu Qiaoqiao was forced to look up and look into Chen Yan's eyes.
At this time, Chen Yan also came out of the state of [Inner Headphones]. The surrounding sounds gradually disappeared, and Chen Yan pinched Yu Qiaoqiao's chin, looking at her, without saying a word.
Seeing that Chen Yan looked unhappy, Yu Qiaoqiao didn't know why, but she always felt that Chen Yan seemed to know everything.
She did not dare to struggle, and could only lean back as much as possible to avoid Chen Yan's sharp gaze, and then said softly, "You... don't be angry, okay..."
Chen Yan snorted, let go of the hand that was pinching Yu Qiaoqiao's chin, and said coldly, "I'll give you one more chance. Tell me what happened again."
Seeing that Chen Yan was really angry, Yu Qiaoqiao didn't dare to hide it anymore. She lowered her head, clenched her apron with her two small hands, rubbed it helplessly, and said aggrievedly, "We, our family has no money. So, I want to save some money."
"Don't be angry, okay? I'll work harder to make some money so you can eat better..."
After hearing what Yu Qiaoqiao said, Chen Yan was really a little angry. He couldn't help but speak louder, "I'm angry that the meal you cooked for me was not good!"
"I'm angry that you didn't tell me you had no money!"
"Besides, what about the money I gave you? So much money? You didn't spend it, but saved it for having children?!"
After being scolded by Chen Yan, Yu Qiaoqiao's mouth suddenly drooped and tears fell down. She felt aggrieved like an abandoned child, but she didn't dare to refute.
He just stood there with his head down, not daring to speak, just crying.
Chen Yan's heart almost broke when he saw her like that. But based on his understanding of Yu Qiaoqiao, if he didn't say it more seriously this time, she would still do the same thing and wrong herself in the same way in the future.
Therefore, he had to put on a cold face and pretend to be impatient and said, "Okay, stop crying."
After hearing Chen Yan's words, Yu Qiaoqiao stopped crying.
But how can you stop crying just because you want to?
So she tried to stop crying for a long time but couldn't, and could only continue crying in fear while covering her mouth with her hands to avoid crying out loud and annoy Chen Yan.
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Chen Yan sighed in his heart and was reluctant to continue acting.
He tried to make his voice gentler and asked, "You want to give me this money for a rainy day, right?"
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Yu Qiaoqiao quickly nodded aggrievedly.
Chen Yan sighed, put his hands on her shoulders, and said, "I can understand that you want to save money. But you can't put all the pressure on your shoulders, understand?"
Yu Qiaoqiao raised her head and looked at Chen Yan with tears in her eyes, a little puzzled.
Chen Yan gently lifted her chin so that she could look directly at him, and then asked, "We are a family, right?"
Yu Qiaoqiao nodded with tears in her eyes.
After nodding, she added weakly, "Yeah...yes, you, me, and Brother Ying."
Chen Yan's expression froze. How come there was a strange guy?
But forget it, there's no point in worrying about it at this time.
So he said, "Yes. So, since we are all a family, we should face difficulties together."
"And you shouldn't bear it all alone."
Hearing Chen Yan's words, Yu Qiaoqiao looked at Chen Yan with slightly red and swollen eyes and whispered, "But, I said I would take care of you."
Chen Yan didn't say anything, but slowly lowered his head and pressed his lips against Yu Qiaoqiao's.
At that moment, Yu Qiaoqiao only heard a "boom!" and her mind went blank.
In her silly little head, there was only one thought: We were just chatting about something... why did he suddenly kiss me...
However, this thought only lasted for less than 0...1 second, and she fell into Chen Yan's sweet strategy. She couldn't help but close her eyes and stretched out her soft little tongue to respond to Chen Yan.
I didn’t know how much time had passed, Yu Qiaoqiao just felt like it was a century.
Just when she was about to forget the real world, she suddenly felt the warmth leaving her.
After a moment, all she could hear was Chen Yan's low and hoarse notification, "I'm not discussing this with you. I'm notifying you."
"In the future, if you encounter any difficulties, tell me."
"I'll let you off this time. I'll give you 6,000 yuan a month as a family fund, and you can use your salary as pocket money."
Yu Qiaoqiao opened her eyes in confusion and saw Chen Yan walking out.
She tried to retort weakly.
I wanted to say that 6,000 yuan was too much, and I wanted to say that I could really take good care of Chen Yan and Zhao Ying...
Before she could say anything, she saw Chen Yan suddenly turn around, pointed at her and said, "Don't make this mistake again in the future, otherwise I will be even angrier than today."
Hearing Chen Yan say this, Yu Qiaoqiao couldn't help but think of Chen Yan's "ferocious" look just now, and she didn't dare to speak...
After all, Chen Yan’s expression just now was quite scary, and it was the first time that Yu Qiaoqiao saw him so angry.
For a moment, an idea was engraved in Yu Qiaoqiao's little heart: If there is anything in the future, I must tell Chen Yan... otherwise he will be angry.
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Chen Yan nodded slightly, feeling that it was not in vain that he had been a "bad guy".
Thinking of this, he opened the door and wanted to go out for some fresh air.
After all, the kitchen is quite dull with the door and windows closed.
As a result, who would have thought that just as he opened the door and walked out, a sack suddenly fell from the sky and covered his head directly...
