Chapter 247 Leftovers
Chapter 247 Leftovers
As a result, after Ren Huan moved in, the two started dating again.
Every day after get off work, Xu Yue is greeted by the two laughing and chatting, and she also has to come home and cook for them.
After dinner, the two of them sat on the sofa and started laughing and joking around. You held my arm and I tugged at your clothes, looking very intimate.
After enduring this for a month, Xu Yue finally snapped.
After she got off work that day, she diligently cooked a whole table of food, and after the two ate, they started bickering again.
Xu Yue could no longer bear it. She picked up her water glass and slammed it heavily onto the table, the loud noise interrupting the two people who were laughing and talking.
"Xu Yue, could you please keep the noise down when you're clearing the dishes?" Qi Le immediately began to criticize.
Xu Yue couldn't hold back any longer and picked up a cup, smashing it at the two of them.
Little did she know that the magical book she was reading on the subway home happened to have two big words flashing on it, and Xu Yue vaguely saw the cup pass through it and disappear.
However, Qi Le's sudden embrace of Ren Huan at that moment provoked her.
Xu Yue didn't care about anything else and just wanted to smash those two scoundrels to death with things. She threw out plates, bowls, chopsticks, and anything else she could find.
The two men left, leaving her alone in the chaotic living room, at a loss.
She'd just said those harsh words; was she really going to get a divorce? Xu Yue was confused.
Lin Liuyi's video call came at that moment, and Xu Yue answered it in a daze.
"Hey, miss, what's wrong?" Lin Liuyi looked at Xu Yue, who was distracted, and didn't even dare to greet her. Something was off about this girl.
Hearing the voice, Xu Yue snapped back to reality, wiped away the tears that had somehow fallen on her face, and said, "Hello!"
Lin Liuyi briefly introduced his situation, which shocked Xu Yue.
The book she accidentally opened on the subway turned out to be from another world, and the girl opposite her even said that the two worlds could exchange items.
Xu Yue readily believed the story, and when the topic of tipping came up, she was somewhat bewildered.
"A tip? June 1st, did I tip you?" She had absolutely no recollection of that.
Lin Liuyi had no choice but to take out the unique half-cup. Xu Yue recognized it as the cup she often used for drinking water and then understood what was going on.
"June 1st, this was a tip I gave you unintentionally. How about I give you another tip?" Xu Yue said a little embarrassed.
She quickly searched her house for anything worth giving as a reward, but after searching for a long time, she found nothing.
"It's alright, Sister Yue, the cup is a token of your appreciation!"
Hearing Lin Liuyi say that, Xu Yue became even more embarrassed, and she stammered out what had happened with the cup.
"How could these two do such a thing!" Lin Liuyi exclaimed upon hearing Xu Yue's words, realizing that the two of them had somewhat tarnished the meaning of childhood sweethearts.
When someone's childhood sweetheart gets married, why would the childhood friend interfere, let alone stay at someone else's house?
Listen to what Xu Yue said, she even has to cook for the two of them after work. She's practically a maid serving them!
"No, doesn't that Qingmei pay rent when she lives in your house, and doesn't help with cooking or housework?" Lin Liuyi didn't understand.
"My husband won't allow it," Xu Yue said, shaking her head helplessly.
She mentioned this at the time, and here's what her husband said.
"Xu Yue, how can you let Huanhuan cook and do housework? She's staying at our house, she's a guest, we should treat her well!"
This infuriated Xu Yue. "You're going to entertain her? Then at least entertain her! Don't just wait for me to come home from work and cook!"
"Honey, I'm already exhausted from a long day at work, and besides, my cooking isn't as good as yours!" Qi Le still pushed the task onto her.
"So what are you planning to do?" Lin Liuyi asked her.
"My husband is usually very good to me!" Xu Yue calmed down and thought about it. Apart from Ren Huan's matter, Qi Le usually cared about her a lot.
He would tell her to wear more clothes when it got cold, and he would pick her up from school when it rained, after all, they had been together for several years.
Alright, judging from Xu Yue's tone, Lin Liu realized that this matter was unlikely to be resolved.
"Then you should have a serious talk with your husband!"
Xu Yue nodded, but Lin Liuyi still suggested that she make preparations and install some cameras in her home.
This is a bit of a dilemma for Xu Yue, as she still trusts Qi Le quite a bit.
The day after the argument, Xu Yue was working overtime, so she sent Qi Le a text message to tell him that she would be home late. Xu Yue even joked that it was good to work overtime, because she wouldn't have to cook for the two of them.
When she got home, the house was completely dark.
"Qi Le, why don't you turn on the light?" Xu Yue complained, but no one responded.
Seeing that no one was home, she called Qi Le, but no one answered. She kept calling until Qi Le and Ren Huan returned home, chatting and laughing.
"Xu Yue, why don't you turn on the lights at home?" Qi Le asked, looking at Xu Yue sitting on the sofa in the living room.
"Where did you two go? Why are you so late?" Xu Yue asked, suppressing her anger.
"Oh, Huanhuan and I went out to eat. Aren't you working overtime? I was too lazy to cook anyway, so Huanhuan and I went to eat grilled fish. Look, we even packed some leftovers for you!" Qi Le opened the packed leftovers and placed them in front of Xu Yue.
"You two went out to eat, and you ended up packing up my leftovers? Why do you think I deserve to eat leftovers?"
"Xu Yue, don't be unreasonable! It's not like I made you work overtime. If it weren't for Huanhuan, you wouldn't even have leftovers! Huanhuan, I told you you shouldn't have been so kind!" Qi Le immediately revealed who wanted to pack up the leftovers.
"Oh dear, Brother Le, I was just thinking of not wasting food! How about we order another takeout for Sister Yue?" Ren Huan looked embarrassed. Why did Qi Le bring that up? She could only try her best to make amends.
"What are you ordering? Take it or leave it!" Qi Le was also angry.
Xu Yue was so angry that her hands were trembling. She had originally wanted to make up with Qi Le, but now she just wanted to know why she hadn't smashed those two scoundrels to death yesterday.
"Oh, Brother Le, don't say that! Sister Yue is just too tired from working overtime!"
"Tired? I'm tired after a whole day of work!" Qi Le retorted.
Yes, even after a long day at work, you can still take your little sweetheart out to eat, and she can pack up the leftovers for you. Just look at what's in those leftovers!
After cleaning the fish body, all that was left was the head, tail, and long fish bones, along with a few slices of potato and some overcooked cabbage. Calling this leftovers is an understatement; it's more like swill.
This is the food her husband packed for her. Xu Yue felt utterly disheartened.
Ren Huan tried to persuade Qi Le again, but Qi Le refused.
"Eat it or don't, I'm not going to serve you! Come on, Huanhuan, you go and rest too, ignore her, she's being dramatic!"
Xu Yue never expected to hear Qi Le call her pretentious.
Ha, so dramatic! What about all that cooking and cleaning she does every day?
