As a villain, he relies on coquettishness to rise to power

Chapter 310: Defending the country will also protect you (42)

Xi Chen's fingertips holding the handle of the pot froze slightly, and the original laziness on the man's face disappeared.

He knows better than anyone else and thinks more than anyone else.

As early as the moment he fell in love with Yumu, Xi Chen thought about his career.

He is free, but not free.

Xi Chen suddenly fell silent, his long eyelashes lowered, his pupils a little dull, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

It wasn't until the food in the pot smelled faintly that it was mushy that Xi Chen suddenly came back to his senses.

He quickly added some water, but luckily it wasn't serious. He rescued it, but said it might not taste that good.

Grandma Xi's voice still came from the other side of the phone. Xi Chen pursed her lips and was silent for a moment, then replied: "Grandma, I know this matter well. I know what to do. You don't have to worry."

Grandma Xi over there paused, and then sighed slowly, her tone full of helplessness: "Hey, I won't get involved in your young people's affairs. But now that we have a girlfriend, Then take it home and take a look as soon as possible. If I hadn’t made this sudden call to you today, you might have talked about your girlfriend for several months!”

"Aren't I afraid that you will be too enthusiastic if you find out?" Xi Chen knew how important and anxious his family was about his marriage, so he was afraid that they would pay too much attention to Yumu and be scared away when they found out. Xi Chen probably regretted his death.

"How long have you been talking for?" Grandma Xi couldn't help but ask after hearing what Xi Chen said.

"Fifteen days." Xi Chen didn't seem to even hesitate when he answered.

Grandma Xi asked: "How long have we known each other?"

"It should be fifty-six days." Xi Chen said.

Grandma Xi thought for a moment and realized that it would be two months.

It's not that she doesn't believe Xi Chen. After so many years, Grandma Xi knows what kind of character her grandson is.

People like Xi Chen have been unable to be tempted for so many years because they can't meet someone they like. Once they meet someone who can make them attracted, they will be convinced of this person and will never change again.

Thinking about the girl she just talked to on the phone, although Grandma Xi didn't know what she looked like or what kind of person she was, based on the phone call just now, Grandma Xi had a lot of affection for her.

A girl who can be liked and valued so much by Ah Chen is definitely a good girl.

Grandma Xi finally asked Xi Chen Yumu's name and then hung up the phone.

Xi Chen casually put the phone back into his pocket and finished cooking the remaining dishes in a few seconds. There was some leftover rice at home, so Xi Chen made braised beef rice with enoki mushrooms and tomatoes, which was just enough for two people.

When he came out with the dishes, Yumu had already finished the plate of fried chicken legs and was lying on the sofa, drinking Feizhai Happy Water and watching TV comfortably.

Xi Chen glanced at it and saw that it seemed to be one of the most popular animes at the moment. He heard Mumu mention it, and it was called a spell.

When he saw Yumu watching TV again, he didn't put the dishes on the dining table, but placed them on the coffee table.

In the past, Xi Chen, who had always lived a rigorous and meticulous life in the army, would never have been able to do this. But since he got together with Yu Mu, the starting point of all his things was thinking about how to make the children feel freer and more comfortable. , be at ease.

It can be said that his bottom line has been slowly and unknowingly lowered, and it can even be said that there is no bottom line at all.

After the dishes were placed, Xi Chen took a can of soda out of the refrigerator and took off his apron.

He took the can of soda and sat next to Yumu. While opening the can of soda, he said to Yumu: "Mumu, it's time to eat."

Xi Chen put down the soda and placed the beef bibimbap filled with soup in front of Yu Mu.

Yumu was actually not very hungry, especially after eating the four fried chicken drumsticks that Xi Chen had fried, his stomach had already begun to bulge.

But the rice cooked by Xi Chen is so delicious that you feel very appetizing just by looking at the bowl of rice.

Yumu couldn't help but reached out and took it. She stirred it in the bowl with a wooden spoon a few times, then scooped up a spoonful of fat beef rice soaked in soup. She blew on it, then took a bite, and then, Another taste, one after another.

Xi Chen looked at her, curled his eyes and smiled.

He put the vegetables in Yumu's bowl, "There are still vegetables, don't just eat."

Yu Muwo was sitting on the sofa holding the bowl in his hand. He glanced at the three dishes on the coffee table plus a fried chicken leg. He ate the rice silently and said, "Isn't this rice good to eat? You can also cook it." Well?"

This fat beef enoki mushroom and tomato rice bowl is enough for a meal alone. Why do they need any other dishes? They can't finish it.

"The combination of meat and vegetables is good, Mumu." Xi Chen said and put a lot of vegetables into Yumu's bowl.

When Yumu saw it, he quickly moved his hand away and said with a frown, "I don't want it anymore. If you pinch it again, I won't be able to eat it."

Xi Chen knew Yu Mu's appetite well and knew that she couldn't eat much, so he didn't continue to bring her food. He sat there and ate with her.

As expected, Yu Mu only ate less than half of a bowl of rice and left it. Xi Chen naturally took the rest of her rice and finished it.

Xi Chen suddenly paused while eating and remembered what Grandma Xi said to him before hanging up the phone. The man lowered his long eyelashes and glanced sideways at the girl's face inadvertently.

The girl has a small and delicate face in profile, a straight bridge of nose yet delicate and delicate, her long eyelashes are raised, revealing brown pupils, and she is looking at the TV in front of her seriously.

The man seemed to be hesitant. He looked away, and as if inadvertently, he said: "Mumu, my grandma called just now."

Yumu didn't look away from the TV. He still looked ahead and just snorted: "Yeah."

Of course she knew that Xi Chen's grandma called, after all, she answered the phone.

"I..." Xi Chen opened his mouth and wanted to say it, but for some reason, the words couldn't come out of his mouth.

Yumu waited for a moment, feeling a little surprised when he didn't hear Xi Chen's next words, so he turned around and looked at him curiously, "What's wrong with you?"

The man beside him was dressed in black clothes, with a clean shaven head and sharp brows. At this moment, her long eyelashes are lowered, and her usually sharp eyebrows now look hesitantly soft.

He pursed his lips tightly and said gently: "Grandma knows about me and you, and she wants to see you very much. I want to ask you if you have time to go back to your old house with me next week to see her."

Yumu paused.

Seeing the girl's paused expression, Xi Chen's heart ached.

He stared at Yumu's expression closely, but couldn't wait for Yumu to answer. He just turned his head and pretended to be casual and laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't have time. We can meet again when we have time."
