Chen Chunyao still had to stay in the hospital for one more night, so Zhang Wan stayed with her.
After Xu Tingyu and Qi Ye sat with her for a while, they returned to the hotel.
The sun was setting in the west, and it had become much cooler. Xu Tingyu walked in the afterglow of the setting sun, facing the evening breeze. She felt completely at ease.
Her steps were even lighter, as if she could start dancing at any moment.
Qi Ye followed behind her. Seeing her happy look, he also felt in a great mood.
She should always be like this, bright and carefree, without any troubles.
"If you like it here, we can buy a house here and come here often in the future. How about that?"
He quickened his steps and caught up with her.
Xu Tingyu was stepping on the dotted lines on the sidewalk, playing a little game of walking in a straight line with herself. Hearing his words, she didn't even turn to look at him.
"No need. You don't have the time for regular vacations, do you?"
She still kept her head down, focusing only on her toes.
Qi Ye smiled. "Of course I do. I've already decided that after you give birth to the baby, I'll hand the company over to professional managers. From then on, I'll accompany you and the baby well."
Xu Tingyu stopped in her tracks. "Really?"
She couldn't tell whether she was happy or not.
Qi Ye's health wasn't very good, and running a company was really tiring. Anyway, he was already rich enough. It would be good to hand the company over to professional managers.
She thought she should be happy.
But for some reason, if he was at home every day, she seemed to feel a lot of pressure.
Could she really spend her whole life in such a state?
She began to doubt herself.
Thinking of these things, her mood became a bit heavy, and her steps were no longer as light as before.
"Sure. If you like it here, we'll buy a house. After you give birth to the baby, we can even move here to live permanently."
"Or, if you have other places you like, we can move there too. There's no rush for this. You can take your time to think about it."
Qi Ye didn't notice anything unusual about her and still planned for the future with a big smile.
Xu Tingyu listened in silence.
Just like this, they arrived at the hotel entrance. Xu Tingyu saw a coconut stand not far away. Feeling a bit thirsty, she interrupted Qi Ye.
"I'd like to have a glass of coconut water."
Qi Ye glanced at the stand and hesitated a bit. "Isn't it unhygienic? Let's go to the hotel and ask the hotel kitchen to prepare it."
Xu Tingyu pulled him over with a smile. "It's okay. I'm not that delicate. I've drunk it many times before, and nothing ever went wrong."
After saying that, she was even a bit stunned.
Many times?
When was that?
She couldn't remember clearly, but she just felt that she had bought it many times.
Maybe it was during her previous vacations.
After all, before the Xu family went bankrupt, she was also a rich young lady, and annual vacations were a must.
Maybe it was then that she drank it.
She didn't dwell on it too much and pulled Qi Ye over.
She ordered two coconuts, took out her phone to pay, and asked the vendor to open them. Then she handed one to Qi Ye first.
Qi Ye took it and first held the straw to her lips.
"Have the first sip."
Wasn't this kind of video very popular on the Internet?
The first bite of something delicious should be for your significant other.
The vendor was opening the second coconut. Looking at them, he said with a smile, "You two have such a good relationship."
After saying that, he inserted a straw into the second coconut and handed it over.
Xu Tingyu took a sip from his coconut first, then took the second one and took a sip. Jokingly, she said, "Boss, your quality is quite reliable. They're equally sweet."
The boss was also amused. After all, just chatting with such a beautiful woman made one feel happy.
Moreover, she was so appreciative.
After chatting for a few words, they left the coconut stand and walked forward, each holding a coconut.
It seemed to be the time for the evening market. The street was lined with all kinds of food stalls.
Xu Tingyu had exceeded her normal amount of exercise today. So when she smelled the fragrance of grilled squid in the air, her stomach actually growled twice.
"Are you hungry? Let's go back to the hotel for dinner."
Qi Ye reached out his hand to pull her.
But her eyes were already fixed on those food stalls.
"But I want to take a look at these snacks. The grilled squid smells so good."
She took a deep sniff and ran towards that direction.
There were a lot of people coming to the night market, and the crowd was bustling.
Xu Tingyu held the coconut in one hand and looked at one stall after another. Rarely, she had a great appetite.
Qi Ye followed behind her and was busy paying for the food.
After walking just a short distance, they had bought a large amount of food, and both of his hands were full.
Xu Tingyu held the coconut in one hand and a squid skewer in the other, looking extremely satisfied while eating.
Qi Ye would occasionally hand her a freshly baked mung bean cake from what he had just bought for her to take a bite.
After walking half of the street, Xu Tingyu felt that she was already full.
Qi Ye stared at her and smiled all the time but didn't eat a single bite himself.
Xu Tingyu couldn't help but ask him, "Didn't you eat this kind of food when you were in school?"
Qi Ye was stunned for a moment and then said with a bitter smile, "You forgot. I've been studying abroad since I was a child, and I've been in poor health. I really have to pay attention to my diet."
In other words, he had eaten Western food since childhood. Even when he briefly returned to Kyoto, he would never go to eat at street food stalls.
When he got a bit older, he wouldn't even take the initiative to eat this kind of food.
Xu Tingyu certainly wouldn't force him to eat this kind of food.
After all, on the one hand, his health was not good, and he had to pay more attention to his diet.
On the other hand, everyone had different eating habits. What she thought was delicious, Qi Ye might not think so.
So she nodded. "It's okay. You're accompanying me to eat street food now. Later, I'll accompany you back to the hotel for dinner."
Qi Ye smiled and looked at the squid skewer in her hand again. "Maybe I can have a taste."
His hands were full of food. After a brief hesitation, Xu Tingyu held the squid skewer to his mouth.
She gave him the part that she hadn't eaten.
Qi Ye lowered his head, took a bite, chewed it a few times, swallowed it, and then nodded. "It smells really good. Cough, cough."
Before he could finish speaking, he started coughing. His face turned red, and he looked a bit embarrassed.
Xu Tingyu quickly asked him to drink the coconut water. "Did you eat the chili? I forgot that you don't eat spicy food."
She had forgotten that Qi Ye's diet was very light, and he basically never ate spicy food.
After coughing for a while, Qi Ye finally caught his breath and then said with a smile, "It seems that I really shouldn't try things randomly. But I really think it tastes good."
"Haha, it's okay. You can try again when you have the chance. Let's go back for dinner now."
Xu Tingyu patted his back and threw all the finished squid skewers into the trash can.
Qi Ye noticed that she directly threw away the skewer that he had bitten.
Obviously, she not only resisted his touch but also didn't want this kind of indirect contact.
But anyway, since they came here, she had clearly smiled at him more often.
This was a good development. He could wait patiently.
After they entered the hotel lobby, the butler immediately greeted them.
"Mr. Qi and Mrs. Qi, the cake has been delivered. Also, your candlelit dinner has been arranged."
