Chapter 83: Tomato and Egg Noodles (1)

Chen Xiuqi quickly finished calling. He seemed to look unwell. He reached over and threw the blanket to the side, wearing his clothes and saying to Su Yaya at the same time, “There are some urgent matters and I need to head back. Do you want to come back with me or continue to play here?”

How would she be able to have fun when he was gone? She hurriedly said, “I’m going back with you.”

Chen Xiuqi nodded. “Ok.”

While Chen Xiuqi went to rinse and dress in the bathroom, Su Yaya climbed out of bed and started to pack things up. By the time Chen Xiuqi came out of the bathroom, Su Yaya finished packing. She looked up to see Chen Xiuqi’s rigid looking face. His eyebrows were knitted like he was really worried.

“I’m going to rinse and dress up.” She went to the bathroom and in order to save time, she only did a simple facial, spending less than half the time she usually would. Then, she walked out.

Chen Xiuqi was already in a call. “Assistant Chen, please book a plane ticket to H City for me. There is an urgent matter and I need to be there.”

Assistant Chen agreed and hurried to book a ticket. Chen Xiuqi hung up to see Su Yaya standing by the side.

Chen Xiuqi bent down to pick up his luggage. “Let’s go. Uncle Zhong is waiting for us downstairs.”

The two walked out the room and took the elevator downstairs. When they arrived on the second floor, the door opened. Wang Wenhao and Xiao You walked in. When she saw Su Yaya, she enthusiastically greeted her and called her “sister Yaya”. Then she turned around to greet Chen Xiuqi, saying “Hi President Chen”. Su Yaya returned a smile while Chen Xiuqi was expressionless the entire time.

Wang Wenhao saw the luggage they were carrying and asked, “Are you guys preparing to head back?”

Su Yaya looked at Chen Xiuqi and he didn’t plan on saying anything, so she had to replace an excuse. “Yeah, my manager is telling me to come back.”

Wang Wenhao smiled and glanced at Chen Xiuqi. “President Chen is quite considerate.”

Su Yaya smiled.

While speaking, the elevator arrived on the first floor. The moment the door opened, Chen Xiuqi walked out first. Su Yaya looked over to say goodbye to Wang Wenhao and Xiao You. Then she quickened her pace to catch up to Chen Xiuqi.

The car parked in front of the door. Chen Xiuqi and Su Yaya followed in succession into the car. The black Bentley drove off quickly.

Chen Xiuqi looked to his side and said to Su Yaya, “I need to head to the airport in a bit. When we arrive in the city, you have to get off and Assistant Chen will be in charge of bringing you home.”

Su Yaya could tell that Chen Xiuqi wasn’t in a good mood. She obediently replied, “Ok.”

Chen Xiuqi reached over to stroke Su Yaya’s hair. “It will be fine. Don’t worry. I’ll be back soon.”

Actually, instead of saying that the words were for Su Yaya, why not say he was trying to comfort himself?

Su Yaya replied, “I know.”

The car quickly arrived in the city. Assistant Chen’s car was parked to the side of the road. Su Yaya got off the car with her luggage and Assistant Chen gave Chen Xiuqi his things. The black Bently quickly drove off afterwards.

“Miss. Su, I’ll bring you back.” Assistant Chen walked over and said.

Su Yaya shifted her gaze back and followed Assistant Chen back in the car.

The car drove all the way to the villa and Assistant Chen helped Su Yaya carry her luggage into her room. He said, “Miss Su, President Chen won’t be here for the next few days. If you need anything, call me. I will try my best.”

Su Yaya smiled and replied, “Ok, I know. Thank you.”

“Good. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now.” Assistant Chen left and Su Yaya brought him to the door, watching his car drive off.

Su Yaya returned to the villa and sat on the sofa for a while. She had slept late last night and woke up too early this morning. She was still half-asleep and decided to nap on the sofa for a while.

Su Yaya ended up sleeping for almost three hours. She woke up hungry and her stomach was rumbling. She got off of the sofa and straightened her hair, wearing her shoes. She turned around to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat.

She found egg and tomato and some noodles in the fridge. She decided to make tomato and egg noodles.

She first fried the egg then placed the sliced tomato pieces into the pan to fry. She boiled the water in the post and then added the noodles in after. That way, it would be chewier. The sooner she took the noodles out of the pot, the softer it would be. Therefore, she had it boil for a while. After the noodles were done, she fished it up and placed it in a bowl. Then she added the tomatoes and fried egg on top.

“Mission accomplished.”

Su Yaya smiled as she brought the tomato and egg noodles out of the kitchen. The moment she placed the bowl on the table and prepared to sit down to eat, the door bell rang.

“Who is it?” Su Yaya wondered who would be coming at this time. She walked towards the door and saw Zhou Peiyun standing outside after looking through the peephole.

She wondered why Zhou Peiyun was looking for her. She didn’t call her before coming either. Su Yaya quickly opened the door.

“What’s the matter with you? Why did you shut your phone? Do you know how long I have been looking for you?” The moment Zhou Peiyun walked in, she threw her numerous questions. Clearly, she was angered by the fact Su Yaya turned her phone off and her sudden disappearance.

Su Yaya then remembered. Yesterday, she had been playing the game with Chen Xiuqi until late at night, to the point where her phone was out of battery. Later on, they were incredibly tired and fell asleep on the bed immediately. The result was that she forgot to charge her phone and she woke up this morning in a hurry, so she didn’t remember this. Plus, she had another two hour nap. Clearly, the phone automatically shut down because there was no battery. Therefore, Zhou Peiyun couldn’t replace her.
