Thinking of this, Ma Yingjie's heart lightened and floated. He felt so happy as if he was flying into the sky. He drove very fast. After all, this was Qin County, and his car was numbered. No traffic police dared to stop him. This was the good thing about being in a small county. A local tyrant was still an emperor. With a little bit of power, he could still hold up a small piece of the sky. This was also the reason why many people would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.
Soon, Ma Yingjie arrived at the water mill. The female owner, Xiao Xiuqin, welcomed Ma Yingjie from afar as soon as she saw him. She looked at Ma Yingjie with a sweet smile and said, "Mayor County Magistrate Ma, you're here. It's my humble store's honor to have you here."
Ma Yingjie was in a good mood, and it was probably because of his relationship with Liu Feng. He joked, "With such a beautiful lady here, it's my humble store's honor to have you here."
Ma Yingjie's words were extremely sweet, causing Xiao Xiuqin to smile even more flirtatiously. Her small waist was especially agile as she used her hand to rub her hair out of habit. She looked at Ma Yingjie affectionately and said, "Then please take care of my shop's business in the future, Magistrate Ma."
Jokes aside, Ma Yingjie had business to attend to, so he couldn't continue joking with the female owner. He asked Xiao Xiuqin, "There are three girls in their twenties. Which private room are they in?"
Xiao Xiuqin reacted quickly and said, "Are they Mayor County Magistrate Ma's guests? I'll take you there. I'll treat my sisters today. We'll get to know each other twice in a lifetime. I'll charge them the next time they come. Mayor County Magistrate Ma, please do me a favor this time. "
Ma Yingjie didn't expect Xiao Xiuqin to be so smart. He said immediately, "Boss Xiao, I can't do that. Friendship is friendship, and business is business. I'll pay the bill for the three of them. "
Xiao Xiuqin still wanted to say something, but Ma Yingjie had already left, so she could only swallow her words. Haste makes waste. Moreover, because of Liu Feng, Ma Yingjie would come here again in the future. He would understand if she collected some money symbolically later. Thinking of this, he hurried to catch up with them, pointed to a private room with a classical door, and said, "They're here. County Magistrate Ma can go in by himself. I won't go in." After that, without waiting for Ma Yingjie to say anything, she twisted her slender waist and walked away in her high heels. Ma Yingjie glanced at Xiao Xiuqin's back and suddenly thought of the word "power". It seemed that power was everywhere. He was just a deputy county head, so he didn't have to pay for his personal expenses. Power was really a good thing. It was omnipotent.
Ma Yingjie knocked on the door twice, and Luan Xiaoxue's voice sounded, "Who is it?"
"It's me, the waiter," Ma Yingjie said in the Mandarin of Qin County.
Luan Xiaoxue didn't recognize Ma Yingjie's voice, neither did Ran Bingbing and Gu Yanling. Luan Xiaoxue said, "Please come in."
Ma Yingjie pushed the door open with a smile on his face. Although he was smiling, he still glanced at Ran Bingbing's face out of the corner of his eyes. When the three women saw Ma Yingjie, especially Gu Yanling, who was sitting at the door, stood up and directly punched Ma Yingjie, saying while punching, "Luan Xiaoxue, your husband is really humorous. Is he always like this at home?"
Although there was a smile on Ran Bingbing's face, it looked lonely in Ma Yingjie's eyes. Ma Yingjie's heart tightened. It seemed that Ran Bingbing hadn't really turned over a new leaf because of the incident with Meng Chenglin. Thinking of this, Ma Yingjie was a little worried about Luan Xiaoxue. Fortunately, Luan Xiaoxue was now in Qin County. If she was in Wu Du, this silly girl would be hurt by Ran Bingbing again.
"He is only humorous in front of you. In front of me, he doesn't talk so much. " Luan Xiaoxue said half-seriously and half-jokingly. In fact, it was true. Ma Yingjie didn't even dare to watch TV with her. It wasn't easy for him. For two people who were not husband and wife to insist on living under the same roof without sparks, it would be a very difficult thing for anyone. Luan Xiaoxue tried her best to be so ideal to Ma Yingjie. Therefore, she didn't have any complaints when Ma Yingjie didn't talk to her, didn't watch TV with her, or came home very late. Because Ma Yingjie didn't have such an obligation, and he shouldn't have such an obligation. Ma Yingjie was great because he could take care of her sincerely and raise her. As Luan Xiaoxue, what else did she dare to ask for?
Hearing Luan Xiaoxue's words, Ma Yingjie blushed. He hurriedly apologized and said, "Luan Xiaoxue, I just went to work at the grassroots level. I'm too busy, really too busy. I'm sorry. I'll try to spend more time with you in the future." Ma Ying Jie said this from the bottom of his heart, but his words provoked a flurry of attacks from Gu Yanling and Ran Bingbing. Ran Bingbing, in particular, never showed mercy when it came to her words. Now that she finally had the chance to insult Ma Ying Jie, she said, "Is being an official more important? Or being a father more important? Hearing County Ma's words, we have different opinions. No matter how high an official is, there will be a time when he retires. Children are different. They are their own flesh and blood for the rest of their lives. How can there be a father who doesn't love his own flesh and blood? "
Ran Bingbing's words had a hidden meaning. Ma Yingjie's face suddenly turned pale. He tried to calm himself down. He wanted to pretend and act like he did in front of Cao Wuwen, but he failed.
Seeing that Ma Yingjie's face didn't look right, Luan Xiaoxue hurriedly said, "Bingbing, you're wrong about Ma Yingjie. He's really nice to me. I won't just make a joke. Other than my parents, he's the person who treats me the best. Don't wrong him.
Ran Bingbing also noticed that Ma Yingjie's face didn't look right. She suddenly realized that she had said too much. Although she still suspected that the child was Luo Tianyun's, they were officially husband and wife now. Ma Yingjie didn't care about anything, so why should she offend him? Moreover, in her current situation, it was better for her to restrain herself before she found a powerful person. Today's on-site observation was a celebration for Ma Yingjie. Such a person was currently the most popular person. She couldn't afford to offend him. Therefore, she immediately put on a smile and said to Luan Xiaoxue in a very joking tone, "I'm just afraid that he will bully you. If he dares to bully you, Yanling and I will teach him a lesson together."
Gu Yanling probably also felt Ma Yingjie's anger, so she also pretended to agree with Ran Bingbing. She looked at Ma Yingjie with a smile and said, "That's right, that's right. If he bullies Luan Xiaoxue, we will hold you responsible."
At this point, Ma Yingjie had to immediately change his expression. This was the basic skill for him to work in the officialdom. Therefore, a smile hung on his face, and it was a very sincere smile. However, he didn't look at Ran Bingbing anymore. Instead, he said to Luan Xiaoxue, "I can't bear to let Luan Xiaoxue suffer anymore."
Gu Yanling and Ran Bingbing both laughed. Ma Yingjie and Luan Xiaoxue also looked at each other and laughed. After laughing, Luan Xiaoxue asked Ma Yingjie, "Have the guests left?"
Ma Yingjie hurriedly looked at Gu Yanling and said, "Yanling, I've asked Mayor Luo to stay. Will you go with us to Ma Bing Town to see the situation of the embroidery?"
As soon as Ma Yingjie finished speaking, Ran Bingbing immediately said, "I want to go too. It's another good news article, and I can earn a few more credits."
Ma Yingjie frowned. Luan Xiaoxue was afraid that Ma Yingjie would say something that would make Ran Bingbing uncomfortable again, so she hurriedly said, "It's not a bad idea for Yanling and Bing Bing to go with us. They can go back to Wu Du Town later, and they will have company. Besides, one more person will be a good reference for the factory in the future."
Ma Yingjie didn't say anything else, but at this time, Gu Yanling said, "Luan Xiaoxue, you should go with us."
Luan Xiaoxue's heart skipped a beat when she heard that. Would she be able to put on a good show if she and Luo Tianyun met on such an occasion? Besides, could she guarantee that she wouldn't give herself away? Ran Bingbing had been suspicious of her relationship with Luo Tianyun. Maybe Ran Bingbing didn't believe that she was Ma Yingjie's wife at all. Otherwise, she wouldn't have said those words just now.
Ma Yingjie had seen the change on Luan Xiaoxue's face. He knew that Luan Xiaoxue didn't dare to go, and she couldn't go either. She had to invite Mayor Luo to dinner at their home tonight. Luan Xiaoxue didn't cook, so she had to teach her sister-in-law how to cook. Luan Xiaoxue knew Luo Tianyun's taste.
Ma Yingjie walked around Gu Yanling and went straight to Luan Xiaoxue. He put his arms around Luan Xiaoxue's shoulders and said as if he loved his wife very much, "Just let her go. I can't let my son's mother suffer from the bumpy road in the countryside."
Ma Yingjie's expression made Gu Yanling and Ran Bingbing burst into laughter again. "Ha, Ma Yingjie, you really love your wife. For the sake of your wife, I'll let Luan Xiaoxue go. But you're a guy who values boys more than girls. Why are you so sure that Luan Xiaoxue will give birth to a son? Isn't it enough to have a son? It'll be cute if she gives birth to a girl. If she gives birth to a girl, she'll call me godmother. "Gu Yanling stood up from his seat and looked at Ma Yingjie teasingly.
In this way, Ma Yingjie knew that Luan Xiaoxue finally didn't have to face Luo Tianyun awkwardly. He knew that Luan Xiaoxue couldn't act, and he didn't want Luan Xiaoxue to act anymore. With him and Luo Tianyun around, if they still couldn't protect Luan Xiaoxue, it wouldn't be right.
"Let's go. Boss is still waiting. " Ma Yingjie let go of Luan Xiaoxue. When Luan Xiaoxue was held so intimately by Ma Yingjie, her heart almost jumped out of her heart. When Ma Yingjie said that they were leaving, she let out a long sigh of relief.
Gu Yanling and Ran Bingbing wanted to go to the washroom, so they left their bags in the room and asked Ma Yingjie and Luan Xiaoxue to wait for a moment. As soon as they left, Ma Yingjie said in a low voice, "Luan Xiaoxue, I'll send you back later. Ask your sister-in-law to buy some groceries. Mayor Luo is having dinner at home tonight."
"Ah?" Luan Xiaoxue was surprised. Her heart, which had just calmed down, sped up again. What was going on? Why did Ma Yingjie always create such a tense atmosphere? However, Luan Xiaoxue was still very happy that he could come to her home. Although it was Ma Yingjie's home and hers, she still hoped that his breath could stay in her room. She still hoped that he could see her room and understand her life.
