Chapter 2257: Chapter 2085: Whispering to Each Other_5
"Great, that’s wonderful, I’ll brew some tea for you when you come!"
"Alright!"
"Are you guys having dinner together again today?" Song Xiaoru asked Qiao Yutong and Song Xiaodong.
"Yeah, actually it’s a dinner for him, I’m just a figurehead, there to accompany for drinks." Qiao Yutong pouted as she glanced at Song Xiaodong.
"Director Qiao, that’s not true." Song Xiaodong quickly denied.
"What’s going on?" Song Xiaoru asked.
"Deputy Mayor Han invited him for dinner, but he wouldn’t go. So Deputy Mayor Han said if I go with him, he’d come." Qiao Yutong said, giving a sidelong glance at Song Xiaodong.
Song Xiaoru started pretending to be angry and chided Song Xiaodong: "I’m telling you, Xiaodong, if you like Director Qiao, just ask her out on your own. Why bring Yutong to your work dinners?"
Song Xiaoru intentionally emphasized the word "like."
"Sis, it’s not like that. It was Deputy Mayor Han who arranged the dinner, and Director Qiao was supposed to be there." Song Xiaodong explained.
"Sis, he’s talking nonsense! A police officer from Beishan District could have gone, why do I need to be there?" Qiao Yutong said to Song Xiaoru.
"Sis, Director Qiao is angry with me. She feels a high-ranking officer like her shouldn’t be at such a small event." Song Xiaodong said to Song Xiaoru.
"I am not!" Qiao Yutong was indignant and raised her hand as if to hit Song Xiaodong, but when she saw Song Xiaoru, she stopped midway.
"You’re talking nonsense! If you keep it up, I’ll hit you!" Song Xiaoru also raised her hand.
"Alright, alright..."
"You must be cold, your face and hands are all red from the cold." Song Xiaoru asked Qiao Yutong.
"Well, I’m alright." Qiao Yutong nodded.
"You’re wearing too little. The weather forecast said it’s going to rain today." Song Xiaoru continued.
After entering the house, Qiao Yutong put down the scarf wrapped around her.
"You too, dragging Director Qiao out on such a cold day." Song Xiaoru gave Song Xiaodong an annoyed look.
"I get it, I get it!"
Just then, the door creaked open in the living room, and Sun Yiyi walked out in pajamas.
"Director Qiao is here!" Sun Yiyi greeted Qiao Yutong warmly and sat down next to her familiar seat.
"Hi, Yiyi." Qiao Yutong wasn’t sure how to address Song Xiaodong’s wives.
"Hey, Director Qiao, I noticed that your skin looks better after a few days!" Sun Yiyi commented, staring at Qiao Yutong’s face.
"Really?" Qiao Yutong touched her face.
"Let me see." Song Xiaoru leaned in.
"It really does!" Song Xiaoru nodded in agreement.
"Maybe it’s the medicine Xiaodong made for me last time that’s working." Qiao Yutong replied.
"Wow... Xiaodong, I want some too! Last time when I went with you to Lop Nur, the wind made my face rough!" Sun Yiyi complained to Song Xiaodong.
"Alright, alright! I’ll do it when I have time." Song Xiaodong promised quickly.
"Director Qiao, I’m really envious of you. We, as wives, don’t seem to get any benefits." Sun Yiyi said to Qiao Yutong.
Qiao Yutong didn’t know what to say, she just smiled and brushed her hair.
"Yiyi, that was something my sister promised, it has nothing to do with me. Don’t say I’m biased." Song Xiaodong said.
What Song Xiaodong said was true, it was a promise made by Song Xiaoru on behalf of Song Xiaodong.
"Hmph." Sun Yiyi snorted.
Qiao Yutong felt even more awkward.
"Director Qiao, really, you look great, your complexion is rosy, you seem very healthy." Sun Yiyi said to Qiao Yutong.
"Not at all, still healthy, working overtime every day, not eating regularly, I look like a washed-out housewife. I see the other deputy directors in our bureau, they are all balding like the Mediterranean! I think I’m going to lose my hair too." Qiao Yutong said.
"Hahaha, no worries, Xiaodong, can you treat hair loss?" Sun Yiyi asked Song Xiaodong.
"I can!" Song Xiaodong mimicked a skit.
"Hahaha..."
As they laughed and talked, it got late. Qiao Yutong stood up to leave, saying, "It’s getting late, I’m heading back."
"Stay a little longer, it’s still early." Song Xiaoru checked the time, it was already 8:30 pm.
"No, I have work tomorrow."
"Get someone to drive Director Qiao home." Song Xiaoru signaled to Song Xiaodong with a look.
Song Xiaodong remembered something, and said to Song Xiaoru: "Sis, do you have an extra coat for Director Qiao? It’s really cold tonight." Song Xiaodong suggested.
"No need!"
"Wait a moment."
Song Xiaoru went to find a coat and handed it to Song Xiaodong, giving him a wink.
Song Xiaodong went over and helped put it on Qiao Yutong.
Qiao Yutong’s ears turned red, as both Song Xiaoru and Sun Yiyi saw it.
But Sun Yiyi and Song Xiaoru didn’t say anything.
After helping with the coat, Song Xiaodong squatted down to fasten the buttons.
"Xiaodong..."
"I’ll do it myself."
Qiao Yutong’s voice was as quiet as a mosquito’s.
Song Xiaodong realized his actions were a bit too intimate and stopped.
Chapter 2089: The Rice is Cooked
Both Song Xiaoru and Sun Yiyi tactfully stayed upstairs.
"You’re so bold, daring to act like that in front of your wife." As they walked downstairs together, Qiao Yutong said to Song Xiaodong.
"What did I do with you?" Song Xiaodong asked Qiao Yutong with a mischievous smile.
"Just wait, you’ll be kneeling on the washboard when you get back home!" Qiao Yutong said to Song Xiaodong with mock schadenfreude.
"No way, my wives are all very tolerant." Song Xiaodong replied.
"Hmph, I heard her calling me a wild woman that day, loud and clear." Qiao Yutong said.
"That was Miao Qingqing, and she didn’t come out today, she didn’t see anything." Song Xiaodong said.
"She may not have seen it, but who says no one will tell her?" Qiao Yutong asked Song Xiaodong with a sidelong glance.
