The next morning.
Mi Xaing 'er had packed up early and was sitting at the table eating porridge. She was still wearing a white shirt and black pants. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail. It was a simple outfit, but it was full of youthful beauty.
Yun Laohu sat beside her and watched her eat. He felt that she was beautiful. He put an arm on the back of her chair and twirled her hair with his fingers. He really wanted to spend the rest of his life with her just like that.
Mi Xaing 'er turned her head and smiled at him occasionally. The morning sun outside the window shone on her porcelain-white face. There were a few small wrinkles on the bridge of her nose. She bared her small white teeth, her eyes were bright, and her smile was bright and pleasing to the eye.
Yun Laohu only felt that there was no happier moment in the world than this.
Tang Xiling looked at all of this through the window and felt gratified.
Yun Laohu put a lot of food into her bowl with his chopsticks. Then, he said calmly, "Xiang 'er, I'll keep the photo of you playing the piano."
Mi Xaing 'er's mouth was round and full. She mumbled, "Mm."
"You're in charge of everything in our family. It's fine if I keep a photo, right?" He seemed to be indifferent, but in fact, his tone was a little helpless and sad. "I'll go to the hospital for a full body checkup tomorrow. If my injuries are almost healed, I plan to return to the army. I'm afraid I won't have time to accompany you like this in the future. I want to keep a photo with me."
He stopped talking.
Mi Xaing 'er looked down at the porridge bowl and stopped eating. She suddenly felt that her food was a little tasteless. When Yun Laohu mentioned that he was going to return to the army, of course, she had mixed feelings. She knew that it was her husband's duty and work, but she still felt reluctant to leave.
She took a deep breath and forced a smile. "Then when are you going for the checkup tomorrow? I'll go with you."
"In the afternoon."
Mi Xaing 'er thought for a while. "Then we should still be able to make it. Chen Jiaxuan's flight is in the morning. After I send him off, I'll come back to pick you up immediately."
"No need. I can do it alone."
Mi Xaing 'er insisted stubbornly, "I know you can do it alone, but I'm willing to accompany you. If I want to accompany you, I will accompany you."
She pouted and acted coquettishly. Yun Laohu immediately relented. "Alright, I'll wait for you. I'm not stopping you from going. I'm just worried that you'll get heatstroke if you run around on such a hot day!"
After a pause, she said, "There's one more thing. I thought about it when I saw your photo just now. Shouldn't we take a wedding photo as soon as possible? I've been talking about it and thinking about it, but with all the things that have happened recently, I've missed the chance to take the photo. Let's not delay it. I think we should go after the checkup tomorrow."
Mi Xaing 'er nodded. "Sure."
She turned around and was about to leave when Yun Laohu called out to her. "Hey!"
"En."
"Come here, I want to talk to you."
"If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you being so secretive?"
Even though she said that, Mi Xaing 'er still walked to his side with her hands behind her back.
Yun Jingting sat on the chair and tilted his head slightly. He gazed at her face and emphasized affectionately. "Hey, look at you. How old are you? You still have a grain of rice on your lips after eating?"
"Is there? Where is it?" Mi Xaing 'er was too lazy to look at herself in the mirror. She stuck out her tongue and licked her lips. "Is it clean?"
Yun Laohu pulled a serious face. "Tsk, there's more. You're really worrying. Why are you acting like a child? Let me help you wipe it off!"
Mi Xaing 'er bent over. Her braids fell to her chest and landed on the man's knees.
Yun Laohu reached out and grabbed the ends of her thick hair. With a gentle tug, he pulled Mi Xaing 'er in front of him and quickly kissed her on the lips. He was probably afraid that his mother-in-law outside the window would see him, so his expression was a little awkward. "Ahem, that's enough. The grain of rice is gone!"
Mi Xaing 'er was stunned at first. Then, she looked at his bashful appearance. He had a tall figure and domineering facial features, but he had the shyness of a little boy. She could not help but laugh and bend over.
She also turned to look at the door. Seeing that her mother was not around, she simply lowered her head and kissed Yun Jingting. She also deliberately rubbed her small hands on his thighs.
Yun Laohu's ears were red. Although he was like a fierce tiger that always "attacked" when the two of them were together in private, he was still more traditional when there was an outsider.
He grabbed Mi Xaing 'er's hand and deliberately pulled a long face, but there was a happy smile at the corner of his mouth. "Let's go. Stop fooling around!"
The two of them were like high school students who had their first awakening of love. They looked at each other and smiled, feeling sweet and blissful.
Mi Xaing 'er deliberately touched his face frivolously. "Then I'm really leaving. Be good at home and be good."
Without waiting for her husband to say anything, she strode out of the room.
Tang Xiling saw her through the kitchen window and hurriedly came out to greet her. "Bring an egg to eat on the way after you're done eating."
She could not help but lower her voice and remind her, "Xiang 'er, don't drink recklessly anymore."
Mi Xaing 'er stuck out her tongue. "Mom, do you think I'm an alcoholic? Am I addicted to drinking?"
Tang Xiling smiled and lightly punched her daughter's back. "Wretched girl, how can you say that?"
Mi Xaing 'er made a face at her, then quickly walked out of the courtyard. She narrowed her eyes and looked up. The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and the white clouds were floating leisurely …
She took a deep breath and could not help but sigh in her heart. This world is so beautiful.
Mi Xaing 'er arrived at the provincial VIP guest house according to the itinerary. As soon as she entered the lobby, she saw Ni Dahai sitting comfortably in the lounge area with his legs crossed. He was in charge of receiving Chen Jiaxuan, so of course, he could not be late.
Mi Xaing 'er tiptoed over and patted him on the shoulder. "Hey …"
Ni Dahai was shocked. When he turned around, the expression on his face was extremely complicated. There was apology, relief, and happiness. In short, it was hard to tell which of the seven emotions had the upper hand.
He immediately stood up and rubbed his hands excitedly. When he opened his mouth, he said in a roguish tone, "Oh my, Xiao Mi, you're finally here. Damn, I was so worried yesterday. I was really a little afraid that you'd drink too much."
Mi Xaing 'er pursed her lips. "Sorry to disappoint you. I didn't drink too much."
Ni Dahai lowered his head and smiled. His hands were in his pockets, and his expression was exceptionally relaxed.
Relaxed.
Really …
At this moment, when he saw Mi Xaing 'er, he felt as if a huge rock had been lifted from his heart.
Ever since Ni Dahai returned from the hotel that day, he had not slept well. His mind was filled with the image of Mi Xaing 'er playing the piano and her little pink face lying in the backseat.
Vexed …
The next day, when he saw that Mi Xaing 'er did not come to "work", he felt even more vexed. However, he did not dare to go directly to her. He was so tormented that he was about to have "blisters" on his mouth. When he was free, he developed Chen Jiaxuan's photos to take a look. There was also one of Mi Xaing' er, so he might as well use this opportunity to send it to her. When he arrived at the door of the Mi residence, he thought about it and did not dare to enter the house. Instead, he sent a Tian Xiner to take a look. When he received the news that Mi Xaing 'er was fine and could eat and drink, his mood immediately became much more relaxed.
When he returned to the office, he hesitated for a long time. In the end, he developed another photo of Mi Xaing 'er and secretly put it in his wallet.
At this moment …
When Ni Dahai saw her standing in front of him in high spirits, how could he not be happy?
He began to speak again eagerly, "You're really fierce. You drank half a liter of white wine just like that. You're still a little girl. Even the old men are not like you. Among all the women I've seen in my life, you're the only scorpion's daddy …"
When he thought of the scene when he drank, he could not help but sigh softly. "Sigh, it was my fault at that time. I should have stopped you. No wonder Yun …"
He did not want to mention Yun Jingting's name, nor did he want to recall the "action" that night. He simply changed the topic. "All in all, because of your fierce spirit, we were able to subdue Chen Jiaxuan. That guy vomited in the hotel yesterday. When he goes back, we don't know how to explain it to the American business group. Xiao Mi, you're really good. Not only did we get the photos, but we also almost subdued him until he had diarrhea. Your task was done very well. Later, I'll give you an extra 20 yuan."
Mi Xaing 'er glared at him. "Do you think I did it for the 20 yuan? I really can't stand him …"
"Yes, I can't stand him either. He's already so smug. He should be taught a lesson …"
As soon as he finished speaking …
Chen Jiaxuan came downstairs. When he saw Mi Xaing 'er, he looked embarrassed. He no longer had his initial arrogance. He smiled awkwardly. "Are you okay?"
Mi Xaing 'er nodded. "I'm fine. Mr. Chen, how about you?"
Chen Jiaxuan lowered his head. He did not have his arrogance, and he seemed to be much more amiable. "I apologize for my prejudice. I did have a wrong idea about the people and things in the mainland in the past …"
His voice lowered. "This has to do with my family background. My father used to be the military commander of the People's Party of X. Later, he was forced to leave his hometown and go abroad. I saw that he was depressed for many years, so I naturally felt indignant …"
Ni Dahai raised his eyebrows. "Oh, there's such a thing …"
Chen Jiaxuan grunted and took out his wallet from his pocket. "I still have a photo of him when he was evacuated from the provincial capital. Do you want to take a look?"
----- Digression —
Speaking of which, would they be able to see anything from the photo?
