Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 474

Lou Xiao'e's round face had already turned bright red. Fortunately, the power was out and the kitchen was pitch black, so they couldn't see each other, which reduced the awkwardness.

Lou Xiao'e quickly broke free from He Yuzhu's embrace and stopped moving, standing there waiting.

Actually, there was still some light in the kitchen, and the gas was still burning. It was just that the power suddenly went out, causing everything to go dark.

Once I calmed down and my eyes adjusted, I could vaguely see my surroundings.

He Yuzhu helped Lou Xiao'e up and said, "Be careful, the floor was just mopped not long ago, it should still be wet."

Lou Xiao'e nodded and was helped out of the kitchen by He Yuzhu. They arrived at the empty dining room and sat down at a table.

He Yuzhu apologized again, and Lou Xiao'e had no choice but to forgive him. He Yuzhu went to the kitchen and quickly found a candle.

Now that it was much brighter, Lou Xiao'e relaxed. She had been quite worried when it was dark.

She was worried that He Yuzhu might unleash his beastly nature and harm her.

With the light, Lou Xiao'e suddenly felt at ease and even found it a little funny that she had been having such wild thoughts.

Could it be because He Yuzhu touched her breasts twice just now?

Lou Xiao'e's face flushed even more in the candlelight.

He Yuzhu chatted with him casually, asking about their trip south.

Lou Xiao'e had only recently graduated and had never been to the South before. This trip was just to broaden her horizons with her father.

When the 20 minutes were up, He Yuzhu brought out the sesame buns and sugar triangles.

"Eat it while it's hot, and take some back with you later."

"Yes, thank you so much." Lou Xiao'e thanked her first, and then started eating.

Although it tasted better than anything anyone else had made, Lou Xiao'e still felt something was off.

I really suffered a great loss today. He Yuzhu actually hugged me and even touched me there.

Although it was my own recklessness, I have never been hugged by anyone in my life.

"Lou Xiao'e, after you graduate from high school, will you go to work in a steel rolling mill?"

Lou Xiao'e shook her head: "I'm not going to the steel mill. That's not our family's factory anymore."

Since the public-private partnership was established, the scale of the steel mill has gradually expanded, and the Lou family's shares have been diluted considerably.

He was already a minority shareholder, and now his shareholding is even smaller.

Although Lou Xiao'e's father had the title of being sensible, his words carried little weight in the room.

He will not interfere with the development of the steel rolling mill.

He Yuzhu asked, "Would you like to work at our machinery factory?"

"A machine factory?"

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Our machinery factory now has more than 5000 employees and produces a wide range of products."

"Wait, when did your factory have so many people?"

Lou Xiao'e lives in a villa area outside the city. She has been in high school for the past few years. He Yuzhu has cooked at Lao Dong's house a few times, but he just didn't run into her.

Lou Xiao'e really didn't know that He Yuzhu's machinery factory had so many workers.

He Yuzhu said, "Would I lie to you about this? In just the last two years, our factory has expanded rapidly, and we only have a thousand fewer employees than the steel rolling mill."

"What can I do?" Lou Xiao'e asked.

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "You can choose any position you like. How about being the head of the cafeteria?"

Lou Xiao'e raised her foot and kicked He Yuzhu's leg, yelling, "You're so mean! I just like eating desserts, and you're making fun of me like this."

He Yuzhu smiled. The fact that Lou Xiao'e could still joke like that showed that she wasn't affected by what had just happened and that the two still maintained a friendly relationship.

Lou Xiao'e quickly ate until she was stuffed, rubbed her tummy, and smiled sheepishly.

He Yuzhu said, "Take them all back, and we'll bring the tableware over later."

Lou Xiao'e nodded, and He Yuzhu packed the food in a lunchbox. After tidying up, they locked the door and returned to the private room together.

The train was quiet. The two tiptoed around, tidied up, and then climbed into bed.

Both of them were in the upper bunk, and could see each other if they turned to the side. They could only say goodnight and fall asleep fully clothed.

The next day, the two returned to normal and continued to while away their time on the train.

After traveling south for a full week on the train, we finally arrived at Guangzhou Railway Station.

After getting off the train, He Yuzhu felt that he smelled bad.

Although I changed my clothes on the way, I couldn't take a shower, I could only wipe myself down, and I still felt uncomfortable.

This is the third Canton Fair. The organizers are very experienced. Buses were driven directly into the train station to take the leaders who came from Dongguan directly to their hotels.

After taking a shower and changing into new clothes, I felt much refreshed. I was standing on the balcony observing the low-rise houses of Guangzhou when Lou Xiao'e also came to the balcony.

Her hair was still wet, and she was drying it with a large towel. When she saw that it was He Yuzhu, she greeted him and continued to dry her hair.

He Yuzhu replied, and then stared in disbelief.

There were no hair dryers available at that time, so Lou Xiao'e's hair looked as if it had been pulled out of the water.

Although it wasn't dripping water, the water scattered on her chest soaked her bra.

Although it was already September, Guangzhou was still sweltering in the heat, and Lou Xiao'e was only wearing a thin white lace shirt.

Lou Xiao'e was so focused on drying her hair that she didn't notice that her white shirt had become transparent after getting wet, and it was clear that she wasn't wearing a vest underneath.

At that time, girls didn't wear bras; they usually just wore tank tops.

Lou Xiao'e may have been careless and forgot, or thought she was in a room, wearing only a single layer of clothing.

He Yuzhu was stunned at first, but quickly recovered and asked, "What a coincidence, we're neighbors again."

"Yes, it's quite a coincidence," Lou Xiao'e said.

He Yuzhu asked, "After that, did you go to the Canton Fair every time?"

Lou Xiao'e nodded and said, "We should go and visit, to see what products are produced all over the country. There are also many foreigners coming. It's a grand event. Afterwards, we can go out and have some fun for a few days. Do you want to go?"

He Yuzhu participated as a bodyguard, so from the moment he boarded the train, he had to stay by the leader's side the whole time and had no time to himself.

"I don't know if I'll have time to travel."

Lou Xiao'e was wiping her hair as she spoke, and when she looked down to wipe the ends of her hair, she suddenly noticed that her clothes were soaked.

Chapter 337 Making a Mistake?

She realized that her white shirt couldn't hide her two mounds of flesh at all; her chest was clearly visible, and she wondered if He Yuzhu had seen them.

He covered himself with a towel, glared at He Yuzhu, and turned to go inside.

A moment later, she dried her hair, put on a vest, and went to the balcony, where she saw that He Yuzhu was still there.

Her face flushed red, and she asked angrily, "He Yuzhu, did you...did you see something?"

He Yuzhu shook his head and asked, "What should I have seen?"

"You really didn't see it?"

No, what are you talking about?

Lou Xiao'e had some doubts, but she had no evidence.

He Yuzhu seemed honest and simple, so perhaps he had really been wronged, and the topic was not continued.

That evening, the senior leader called He Yuzhu over and gave him some instructions, telling him that starting tomorrow, He Yuzhu would be inseparable from the senior leader.

The main concern is that He Yuzhu has not received professional training, and there is a worry that He Yuzhu might get distracted and be difficult to find.

He Yuzhu immediately assured him that he would absolutely protect the big leader and would not lose him.

The senior leader then smiled and said, "Zhu Zi, I've already spoken with the restaurant manager. You can use their kitchen; I really can't stand their food."

He Yuzhu had seen it before; the hotel also offered some northern dishes, but he hadn't tried them yet and didn't know how they tasted.

Hearing the big boss say that, you can tell that the food here must be terrible.

He Yuzhu also knew that the reason he was able to come along for a tour was because the big boss couldn't do without his cooking skills.

I went to the kitchen with Secretary Wang. The food here was plentiful, including not only the common northern dishes, but also seafood.

He Yuzhu first prepared several Sichuan dishes to send to the senior leader, and then prepared some seafood for himself.

My mind started racing, and I decided to take some time to visit the market here, hoping to buy as much seafood as possible.

The next day was the opening day of the Canton Fair, and the top leader was also allowed to sit on the stage, but there was no arrangement for him to give a speech.

He Yuzhu was deeply moved when he actually saw the Canton Fair.

Its official name is now the China Export Commodities Fair.

The main reason is the Western economic blockade and embargo imposed on the country.

With insufficient foreign exchange reserves and the current food shortage, there is no money to purchase food internationally.

They all rely on the two annual export fairs held in spring and autumn to earn foreign exchange.
