The dumplings full of fillings are poured into the pot and the flavor goes around the whole house, making everyone’s mouth water.
Soon, the dumplings are done. Mei Ruo gives a big bowl of soup to Xia Ning and Yi Yunrui respectively and puts several dishes of dumplings on the table.
Mei Ruo gets a dozen kinds of sauces prepared on the table and smiles, “In fact, I haven’t made dumplings for a long time. I am not sure if they taste good. I hope you two can make do with them.”
“Commissar Mei is too kind.” Even the look of the feast alone can earn ninety-nine points out of one hundred.
“Come on. Let’s have a taste.” Mei Ruo says and picks a dumpling for Xia Ning.
“Thank you.” Xia Ning takes a bite. It is tasty and smells wonderful.
Mei Ruo smiles and eats herself. Seeing Yi Yunrui drink the soup and have not tried the dumplings, she picks one for him, “Commander, this is your favorite mushroom pork dumpling.
As said by Yi Yunrui, there are all kinds of hotels and restaurants on both sides of the street. People come and go busily. It is prosperous.It is dinner time and almost all the hotels are fully occupied. At last, Xia Ning chooses a restaurant with fewer people.It is a seafood restaurant with high-grade decoration. There is a Leopaard vehicle in eye-catching army green in front of the restaurant.There are fewer guests here, but it doesn’t mean that the foods are not good. It is just because that the prices here are comparatively higher than that of other restaurants. So, by comparison, there are fewer guests.There are not many tables available. Xia Ning and Yi Yunrui are arranged to sit at a corner.They are worried about that the seat may be taken by others. So, Xia Ning stays when Yi Yunrui goes with the clerk to choose the seafood.Xia Ning looks at Yi Yunrui from far and finds that he is very attra
Yi Yunrui doesn’t expect that Xia Ning will ask the question. He hesitates and looks at her for a while. His eyes soften. He strokes her face with his big hand and removes the hairs from her forehead. Then, he says slowly, “Never ever leave me. OK?”Xia Ning’s heart melts. She holds his hands, “OK.”They look at each other and love flows between them. They stay there, staring at each other, until Yi Yunrui holds out his hand to pinch at Xia Ning’s cheek, while the latter laughs and cries “ouch” and they remember that there is a table of seafood waiting for them. Yi Yunrui orders too much. They have finished only half of them when Xia Ning has already felt full.Stroking her belly, Xia Ning drinks the soup, “There is still a lot. It is a waste. Why don’t we take them home?”“They won’t stay fresh.”“But it is really a waste!” Xia Ning frowns, “Let’s take them home. OK?”Yi Yunrui smiles mildly
Xia Ning looks at the message frankly as if she is frozen. After quite a while, she counts, “Ten thousand, hundred thousand, million, ten million, hundred million…”Uncertain, Xia Ning counts again and again and at last she lifts her head to looks at Yi Yunrui.“What?” Yi Yunrui looks at her with a seeming smile. His eyes are intense.“I have just received a message. You may have a look.” Saying this, Xia Ning shows the message to Yi Yunrui.Yi Yunrui takes a quick glance, “Hum. Ning has become a rich woman. Please don’t dislike your husband.”Xia Ning is confused. It seems that Yi Yunrui knows what happens in advance.“Such a great amount of money. Rui, don’t you feel surprised?”“Hum. That is a lot of money. But I am not surprised.” Yi Yunrui takes Xia Ning’s hand. They walk slowly, but the latter doesn’t walk easily.“In my opinion, the money is not much enough. It is a loss. A
Li Baoer hangs the last dress to dry and takes a long breath. Finally, she has finished washing all the clothes.Seemingly, Xia Ning was worried that she did not have enough clothes to wear. She bought a pile of them, of all styles for her. As far as she knows, Xia Ning bought more clothes for her than for herself. She is really grateful to Xia Ning.When she gets settled down here, she will do something for her.Seeing that there are still some coats not to be washed on the bed, Li Baoer packs them with poly bags before hanging them in the wardrobe. After finishing all these, Li Baoer turns on her computer. She wants to transfer some money to her mother. But she doesn’t feel it the right time. She knows her mother. She will definitely make rootless guesses.Let it be. It will be better for her to wait for some days until she finds a job.“Ding…”The bell rings. Li Baoer glances at the clock.
It is ten o’clock at night. Xia Ning lies on the bed. She tosses and turns but cannot fall asleep.She gave the promise to Yi Yunrui three hours ago, but till now, Yi Yunrui is still working in another room.Actually, she should feel lucky, but seeing the faint light leaking from the door, she cannot tell whether it is heartache or …Did he know that he would need to work at night?She remembers that when they came back, he stroked her hairs and went directly to the room to work.Seemingly, he did not answer any calls.With a lot of questions, Xia Ning cannot fall asleep and she decides to have a check there.She dresses and opens the door quietly. She looks through the gap of the door and walks on tiptoe.“Hum, OK. I know. You may also have a rest.”She hears Yi Yunrui’s voice, which is lowered to the maximum. A call is over while another comes in. It seems that he i
Hearing what Li Yun said, Xia Ning realizes at once there must be something happening.It seems that the police office gets all the people related to Li Yun arrested by one call.As a matter of fact, it is the responsibility of the police office to fight against prostitution, gambling and drugs. Even if she asks for a favor from Yi Yunrui, it won’t work.In addition, Li Yun brought trouble to her first. Even if she can let her go, Yi Yunrui will not permit that.“Sorry. The military department, the police department and the commercial department are three independent departments with different duties. Li Yun, I really can’t do anything for you.”“No. Xia Ning, as long as you can speak for us, my friends and I will be saved. Xia Ning, I promise that I will never disturb you any longer in the future. Please save me. They all know what I have done and won’t let me go. I am a thorn in their flesh now. I really don’t know w
Xia Ning wants to refuse. However, when she looks at Ou Yixuan’s intense eyes and thinks of his birthday, she just can’t say “No.”.Seeing that Xia Ning hesitates, Ou Yixuan holds her and heads for the Starbucks.It is after dinner time and Starbucks is crowded with many guests. They find a table by the wall and sit down.The clerk comes to them and asks what they would like to have.The familiar scene makes Xia Ning sentimental. On the same day of the previous years, they would always go to Starbucks for a cup of coffee and order a bunch of desserts. .Since it was always the day when Ou Yixuan was the freest.No matter how busy he was working, he would be the freest on the day.“A cup of Caramel Macchiato and a piece of berries mousse. Thank you.” Xia Ning says.“A cup of Latte,” Ou Yixuan looks at her, “and a piece of berries mousse.”“OK. In a minute.”
Xia Ning almost loses her temper when her phone rings. Yi Yunrui calls.Xia Ning is shocked. She says to Ou Yixuan, “My husband is calling.”Then she wants to stand up and walk away to answer the phone. Ou Yixuan stops her, “You can answer it here.” Xia Ning hesitates and soon she presses the button.It is very quiet at the other end of the phone. Xia Ning glances at the watch and sees it is past seven in the evening. Yi Yunrui should be at Mei Ruo’s house. Why is it so quiet?“Where are you?” Yi Yunrui asks.“I…” Xia Ning glances at Ou Yixuan, “I am outside. Aren’t you at Commissar Mei’s house for dinner? It is quiet there.”“They are in the house. I come out.”“Err, I will go back after supper. You have fun.”“OK…” He pauses, “Who are you with?”Xia Ning pauses, “I am with Baoer. Don’t worry. I will be back soon.”There is a silence at the
