Rules of Engagement novel Chapter 97

"It's okay. It's just some simple work," Soren replied with a smile.

Seeing that they were all daughter's underwear, Blanche didn't say anything more. She had to let him do it. Soren finished and came back to the living room soon. Smelling the taste of the loquat sugar soup, he sniffed and said, "It smells good."

"I heard that Elsa coughed, so I cooked some. This is warm nutritious food. You can have some it if you like, Ren."

After saying that, Blanche went out.

Both Elsa and Soren had a large bowl of soup, which was cool and refreshing. It was also good for relieving thirst and summer heat.

"It's so good to have mom around," Soren said with a smile.

Elsa nodded. Soren continued, "Elsa, dad asked us to have dinner together. I thought the two families would always meet, so I agreed."

"Really?" At the thought of the Wang clan, Elsa felt a little restrained. She was really worried that the situation would be awkward and everyone would be unhappy. But after all, it was Soren's father's side. As he said, they would meet sooner or later. She nodded and pretended to be relaxed, "Okay. When?"

"I'm not sure. I mean it depends on your physical condition. I have to wait for you to fully recovered before we talk about that. " Then he reached out and held her hand, but it was still cold. Due to the infusion, there were marks and large bruises on the back of her hand. Soren gave her a gentle massage.

It hurt so much that she withdrew her hand. Soren took her hand back again and said, "Uncle Xu said if it still hurt, it means that you haven't recovered from your cold."

"I'm almost recovered, but my body is a little sore," Elsa sniffed and said in a nasal tone.

"Listen to me. Be a good girl and have a rest at home tomorrow. When you are fully recovered, I'll arrange the dinner. " Soren touched her hair, but the two didn't say anything for a while. After a while, Soren suddenly said, "Don't worry, Elsa. I won't embarrass everyone."

Elsa understood what he meant. He had a grudge against the Wang clan for a long time, and every time he got along with them, he was embarrassed. He was making sure that he wouldn't make things worse this time. She knew that it was to make her parents not worry about her and understand his kindness. In fact, what she hoped more was that he could let go of the previous knot in his heart. No matter what it was, it had been a long time ago. Now Fred and Susie were living a good life with their own belonging. She didn't want him to bear too much burden for the elders all the time.

However, these problems could not be solved in a short time. Elsa understood that many things could not only rely on hard work, but also time.

Smelling the delicious food, Elsa stood up and said, "It's time for dinner."

"Take the medicine first." Soren went to get the medicine first, and carefully sorted out the medicine. He poured a glass of water, and handed it to Elsa. His voice was as doting as a child's, "You will be fine after eating it."

Elsa pursed her lips and smiled.

Blanche had made a lot of dishes that both Soren and Elsa liked to eat. Soren could not have a good meal without meat, while Elsa only ate vegetables. Blanche knew that in life, Soren had to accommodate Elsa. She always felt guilty to her son-in-law, so she specially made braised pork ribs and spicy chicken for him, keeping serving food for him. Soren always had meals cooked by his hired help at home. Although his grandmother and mother treated him well, they were not good at cooking. He was always interested in these home cooked dishes. Different from the small bites of Elsa, he ate a lot as if he was gulping for food.

Blanche kept laughing, "That's how boys eat. They have a good appetite and are promising."

Soren was embarrassed by her words, but Elsa kept smiling. Even so, Soren had a good appetite and didn't stop eating until he ate three large bowls of rice. Elsa was full after eating a bowl of rice. Because her mother had specially fried pinenut and sweet corn, she ate half a bowl of corn. Both of them were satisfied with the meal. Seeing this, Blanche was even happier than she had eaten two more bowls of rice.

Elsa took the chance to wash the dishes, Blanche couldn't refuse her. But she still helped her to clean up the table before she walked out of the kitchen. Elsa rolled up her sleeves, Soren closed the door and rolled up his sleeves as she did.

"You can go out now. I can do it myself." She didn't want him to get greasy all over.

Soren took off her apron and said, "Okay, I'll wash it. You help me clean it. That's it."

Then he put on the apron and turned his back to her. "Help me tie the belt."

In the end, she had no choice but to tie the apron for him. Soren carefully poured the detergent and washed a lot of bubbles. After washing the greasy bubbles, he handed them to Elsa. The two of them washed so fast that it only took a while to finish cleaning.

After cleaning up, she accompanied her parents to watch TV for a while. Blanche kept urging Elsa to go to bed. With a heavy nose, she really wanted to go to bed early, so she didn't accompany them anymore.

Soren was preparing everything for Elsa in the bathroom. After a while, he put a large bathtub of hot water and asked Elsa to take a shower. Because it was summer, she usually took a simple shower and hadn't soaked in the bathtub for a long time.

"Didn't you say that you felt pain all over your body? It would be better to soak in it for a while. Come here. " He stretched out his hand and took Elsa here.

Elsa blushed. "Then I'll do it myself. You go out first."

Soren turned his head to look at her and smiled, "I know you haven't completely recovered from the cold. I won't tire you."

Hearing what he said, Elsa was so shy that it was impossible for her to refuse him again. She got into the bathtub with delicate and rich bubbles. Surrounded by the hot water, she felt much more comfortable. In the steam, she felt that her nose was much better.

Soren also helped her wash her long hair. The tiredness and sweat all over her body in the past few days dissipated. When she came out in a bathrobe, she felt much more relaxed.

Soren really didn't do anything. He carefully dried her hair. When her long hair was dried and spread over her shoulders, she felt much more comfortable. Hearing the sound of the phone, he took it over and had a look. It was the vice editor in chief. Elsa knew why he was calling. He either apologized for the misunderstanding, or asked about her condition. No matter what, she didn't want to talk to the vice chief editor anymore. She was pride that she couldn't keep a good relationship with the vice chief editor because he misunderstood her, even if he was a leader and an elder she had respected.

Thinking of this, she hung up the phone. Soren couldn't help asking, "Why don't you answer the phone?"

"It's the vice chief editor." After thinking for a while, she told him the vice editor in chief about his misunderstanding about her and the president. "I used to treat him as a respected elder, but in his heart, I was like this... So I don't want to answer his phone. "

Soren laughed, "How did this happen?"

"I don't know." Elsa felt wronged. She thought for a while and said, "You know what? I can see the president two or three times a year. All I do is work. But according to the vice chief editor in chief, it should be something happened recently... But I really haven't done anything recently,"

she said, becoming a little troubled. She was a typical boring person at home. She didn't have any social activities at ordinary times, except for work, reading and writing at home. The man she had met the most must be little Bun except for the interviewers...

Seeing her frown, Soren reached out his hand to smooth it for her, "Rumors stop at the wise. A clean hand wants no washing. You don't have to think too much."

Elsa raised her head to look at him. It seemed that he had never thought too much about her, so she could tell him anything for no reason. However, this kind of thing would still make her feel depressed. Girls all cared about these things, especially her own traditional thoughts. For this matter, she had been a little unhappy these days.

She looked at him in the mirror. His eyes were warm. He was reaching out his bony fingers to touch her slightly frowned eyebrows. He said softly, "Rumors are always so strange. They always appear for no reason. If we don't take it seriously, it is nothing at all. "

"Will you take it seriously?" Elsa asked. Because he was the one she cared. So she always wanted to know the thoughts and opinions of him.

Soren chuckled, looked at her eyes and brows in the mirror, turned her head and gently kissed her. His attitude had shown everything. After taking off her lips, he said firmly, "I always believe what I feel. No matter what others say, it doesn't tell you the truth. "

He reached out and took her hand to his chest. Feeling his strong heartbeat, it hit her fingertips violently. She nodded heavily and said, "Okay, I know."

When she went to bed, she suddenly remembered the advertisements Ron had posted and told Soren in a low voice. Soren shook his head and said, "I don't care about his business. But I believe that whatever he does is for the company's benefit. I believe in his decision. "

It was not until then that Elsa felt relieved. She was really afraid that her existence would affect Ron's consideration for the advertisement.

On the second day, Elsa had a day off at home. She had almost recovered after taking the medicine. Soren followed the advice of Kohl, and took her to buy a bottle of vitamin C and vitamin B6, which were said to be helpful for her immunity.

After buying the medicine, he walked to the gate of the community. Ron was driving in, he was a little excited when he saw Elsa and Soren. He stopped the car and ran out. He punched on Soren's chest and said, "Why didn't you answer your phone?"

Soren took out his phone, "It's powered off. How can you come here? "
