"No," he refused flatly. "If the planning book isn't finished, stay up all night. If you are absent from work, I will tell your dad and ask him to suspend your credit card."
Zheng Huai let out a wail. "Brother, you are so ruthless. If you don't educate your son like this in the future, I will look down on you!"
Xiao Bingyang said ruthlessly, "If I had a son like you, I would immediately put him back into Qin Chun's belly."
"Okay, okay. I won't drink anymore. I'll go write the planning book. Staying up all night is okay, right?" Zheng Huai said reluctantly. "Brother, I now seriously doubt that you and Zhuo Han must have no s*x life like workaholics."
Zheng Huai didn't dare to say the last sentence and only mumbled it in his throat. Xiao Bingyang didn't hear clearly. "No what?"
"Nothing. I just mean that you and Director Zhuo are both workaholics," Zheng Huai quickly changed his words. "I can't deal with you. Can't I deal with that woman Zhuo Han? In the world, when it comes to understanding women, I am modestly second. No one dares to claim first. Wait and see tomorrow. Hanging up, hanging up..."
"Wait a minute." Xiao Bingyang blurted out.
Zheng Huai "ah" ed and asked carefully, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Bingyang asked suspiciously, "Do you really understand women?"
Zheng Huai immediately perked up. "Of course. I have been rolling around among women since I was a child. There are a lot of sisters, aunts, and grandmothers. I make every one of them happy. Not to mention girlfriends. Brother, did you encounter any problems? Tell me and I'll help you analyze."
This was true. Xiao Bingyang had heard Zheng Keji say that Zheng Huai was raised by his grandma. There were a bunch of women at home. So he was spoiled too much. When he grew up, he always liked to be among women.
It was possible to ask and use it as a reference.
He cleared his throat slightly. There was implied majesty in his voice. "Then I'll test you. If there is a woman who has always been a virtuous wife and loving mother. Suddenly, she becomes moody. What could be the reason?"
"Did sister-in-law quarrel with you?" Zheng Huai guessed. "Describe the specific situation. I'll help you figure it out."
"Nonsense. How could she quarrel with me?" Xiao Bingyang denied it. "I just asked casually. If you don't know, then forget it."
"How could I not know?" Zheng Huai boasted. "Brother, what women need most is companionship. You are always busy with your career outside. Sister-in-law must love you so much that she can tolerate you. But she is always alone and lonely. Even if she loves you so much, she will have opinions. It would be strange if she didn't make a fuss. Besides, brother, you are so excellent. Sister-in-law can't see you every day. Wouldn't she worry that such a good husband will run away? So she loses her temper because of being anxious and wants to prove her position in your heart. If you coax her, she will be fine immediately. Don't worry."
"Always talking nonsense. I said it's not your sister-in-law," Xiao Bingyang educated. "Go back and write the planning quickly. If you can't hand it in tomorrow, don't stay in the investment department. Go to the logistics cleaning team."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Bingyang's expression softened a bit.
Zheng Huai's analysis was somewhat reasonable. Qin Chun might just be being petty. After being neglected by him for two years, this was the first time Qin Chun lost her temper. Don't be too fussy about it.
The reminder on the phone lit up. Only then did Xiao Bingyang remember that the delayed video conference was about to start.
Originally, he had planned to be home at this time. Now he had to make do in the car.
This conference lasted for more than an hour. By the time he got home, it was almost ten o'clock. The lights in the living room were still on, but Qin Chun had already gone into the bedroom.
Putting down his briefcase, Xiao Bingyang was a bit thirsty. He went to the kitchen and poured a glass of water. After taking a few sips, his peripheral vision caught a glimpse. Suddenly, he found that the small stew pot by the stove was on.
The small stew pot was in insulation mode. Inside was half a small bowl of snow pear and lily soup. As soon as the lid was lifted, a fragrant aroma wafted out.
These two days, the weather was dry. Coupled with Xiao Bingyang's slight pharyngitis, his throat was a bit uncomfortable. This bowl of snow pear and lily soup was just right to clear away fire and moisten the lungs.
He picked up the small bowl and took a few sips. The snow pear soup was slightly sweet and soft. Tasty. It should have been stewed for an hour.
Xiao Bingyang's mouth curved slightly. The remaining bit of annoyance just now disappeared.
Was this Qin Chun making amends for the quarrel just now?
Women losing their temper is normal. As long as there is a measure.
Although what Zheng Huai said about "loving you to death" was questionable, this bowl of snow pear soup obviously showed that Qin Chun did love him and had put in effort in various hints and confessions. He couldn't be too petty and hold on to a small matter.
After washing up and returning to the bedroom, Qin Chun had already gotten under the covers and fallen asleep. There was also a very large cat doll on the bedside. She was almost hugging it into the covers. One person and one doll took up half of the bed.
Xiao Bingyang was a bit speechless.
How old is she and still sleeping with a doll?
He walked to the bedside, grabbed the doll cat's ear, and pulled the doll out of Qin Chun's hand.
Qin Chun blinked her eyes and opened them. Sleepily, she asked, "What are you doing... I'm sleeping..."
Her eyes had a dazed look of being pulled out of a dream. Her originally bright and charming apricot eyes became as gentle as water. Xiao Bingyang couldn't help feeling a softness in his heart and lay down beside her.
"Go to sleep," he half-lay on his side, tucked Qin Chun's exposed hand back into the covers, and patted her twice to comfort her. "Oh, by the way, I will go on a business trip to Beizhou tomorrow. It will be about half a month."
"Mmm..." Qin Chun closed her eyes and burrowed deeper into the covers. Without the doll, she wanted to hug the quilt. As soon as she reached out, she hugged Xiao Bingyang.
Xiao Bingyang misunderstood.
This was expressing reluctance to part with him.
"This time, there is something urgent in the branch company in Beizhou that I must go. It concerns a big project worth more than a billion." He patiently explained for the first time.
Qin Chun was very sleepy. She hadn't slept well these two days. She really couldn't hold on anymore. Xiao Bingyang kept buzzing in her ear. She had to turn over and ly replied with a "mhm" again.
Xiao Bingyang thought for a moment and felt that as a man, he should be more generous and not be stingy with praise. "The snow pear soup you stewed is very delicious. But don't be petty in the future. I will try to reduce business trips and stay in Anzhou."
Something flashed through Qin Chun's mind.
The hourly worker, Sister Chen, stewed very delicious snow pear soup today. But she had always disliked the taste of pears and only drank half a small bowl.
She wasn't being petty. She really had different views from Xiao Bingyang and couldn't communicate.
She had no opinion about Xiao Bingyang's business trip. Loneliness was lonely, but it made people awake. She was willing to enjoy this loneliness.
...
However, sleepiness overcame her. The words she wanted to say were sealed in her dreams.
