Chapter 32 Vegetable and Shredded Pork Noodles

This big tiled house looks a bit old, with some moss on the tiles, but the overall look is clean, tidy and bright. There are some vegetables planted in the open space in front of the door, and it's obvious that the owner takes good care of it.

But now Mu Qing said that this would be their future home.

"Is this the surprise you want to give me?" Hu Xin'er couldn't believe it.

"That's right. I'll take you in to have a look. If there's anything you don't like or want, you can change it." Mu Qing couldn't help but smile when he saw Hu Xin'er's happy expression.

"Oh my God, am I dreaming?" Hu Xiner slapped her face hard, but Mu Qing smiled and held her hand.

Before she could react, Mu Qing carried her on his back to visit the house. The house was not big, but it was much better than the shabby hut before, and it was fully furnished, all new.

It seems that Mu Qing has been buying a house and furniture these two days.

However, after the initial surprise and excitement, Hu Xiner couldn't be happy.

Mu Qing noticed that the person on his back was in a low mood and pursed his lips: "Why, don't you like it?"

Hu Xin'er asked hesitantly, "The house is nice, but how did you find the money to buy it? Adding the money for furniture, it's a considerable sum."

"As long as you like it, why bother about these things?" Mu Qing tried to cover it up like before.

Hu Xin'er asked directly: "What did you buy this time?"

She suddenly thought of Mu Qing's dagger and asked anxiously, "Did you sell the dagger? It was left to you by your mother!"

Mu Qing was helpless yet moved: "I didn't."

Hu Xin'er didn't believe it: "Then take out the dagger and show it to me?"

Mu Qing had no choice but to put her on the chair and took out the dagger to prove that he had not sold her.

Hu Xiner was even more confused now. Mu Qing was clearly a homeless man with a cleaner pocket than his face. Where did he get the money to buy a house?

She looked suspicious, and Mu Qing patted her head and said frankly, "Before you rescued me from danger, I was worried about being robbed and killed, so I hid the money I had on me. That morning, when your eldest sister came to cause trouble, I went to look for money."

Hu Xiner finally felt relieved and complained in her heart: Mu Qing looks harmless, but he is quite smart!

Mu Qing looked at her and asked, "Why did you risk your life to get that dress that day?"

Hu Xin'er had just been praising him for his cleverness, but now, seeing him acting foolishly, the corner of her mouth twitched: "If that dress were taken away by an outsider, your identity would very likely be exposed. Isn't that what you least want to see?"

In fact, Mu Qing had already guessed what she was thinking, and now that she had confirmed it herself, he was even more touched.

If Hu Xiner believed from the bottom of her heart that he was a notorious bandit, why would she be so worried about his identity being exposed that she would even risk her life to fight him?

It was because he saw how Hu Xin'er treated him that he did not hesitate to find the last money he had to buy a house, just to give her a "home".

He looked at Hu Xin'er with indescribable tenderness and doting. Hu Xin'er moved uncomfortably: "Why are you looking at me like this all of a sudden?"

"Nothing." Mu Qing recalled Hu Rong'er's vicious expression and said in a deep voice, "Xin'er, your elder sister is cruel and ruthless. I must avenge you and make her pay with blood!"

"You're outnumbered. How are you going to make her pay with blood?" Hu Xin'er said in shock. "Don't be impulsive!"

"I have my own way." Mu Qing didn't want to elaborate so as not to dirty Hu Xiner's ears.

Seeing his determined expression, Hu Xin'er tried to persuade him from a different angle: "If we start making a fuss, they won't let it go. I'm worried it will affect the reputation of the advertising company."

The advertising company's business is so booming that it is inevitable that it will attract jealous people to frame it. Once they catch it, it will be even more difficult to resolve the matter.

Mu Qing was a little unwilling: "Such a wicked person cannot be taught a lesson."

Hu Xin'er comforted him, "It's just a temporary lull until the foundation is solid."

She was not a saint, she was just worried about Mu Qing's comfort. As long as the company became bigger and stronger, she could hire a few people to put a sack around her elder sister, and no one would know about it.

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Mu Qing bent down and carried her on his back. "Then let's continue to look around our new home."

"Great!" Hu Xiner was so satisfied no matter how she looked at it that she couldn't help laughing out loud whenever she thought that this was her new home.

This house has excellent lighting. She was just in the living room. To the right of the living room are the bedroom and study. The pens, ink, paper and inkstone have all been purchased. Hu Xiner was excited to try them out, but Mu Qing told her not to worry, as she would have plenty of time to work in the future.

To the right of the living room are the kitchen and toilet.

"There are some firewood picked up by the previous owner in the kitchen. Here are the vegetables and rice and flour I bought. Do you think you need anything else?" Mu Qing turned around with Hu Xin'er on his back.

"I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful!" Hu Xiner praised.

When it came to eating, both of their stomachs started growling in unison.

"Would you like noodles or porridge?" Mu Qing carefully placed Hu Xin'er on a chair. "Rice takes longer to cook, but I can make it if you want."

"Can you cook egg noodles?" Hu Xiner asked curiously. She only knew that Mu Qing's porridge tasted good.

"I can try!" Mu Qing rolled up his sleeves and started a fire.

"How about porridge?" Hu Xin'er recalled Doctor He's advice. "Because of my leg injury, I can only eat light meals."

After these days of training, Mu Qing was very skilled in making fire. Hu Xin'er carefully tucked a strand of his hair behind his ear. Mu Qing turned his head in confusion, his eyes showing a hint of helplessness.

"Don't move, there's stove ash on your face." Hu Xin'er concentrated on wiping it off for him with her sleeve, only to find that Mu Qing had been staring at her, and she inadvertently bumped into his deep and gentle gaze.

There was a sound of firewood cracking in the stove.

She suddenly woke up: "Well, how about making a bowl of vegetable and shredded pork noodles?"

"Okay." Mu Qing stuffed some firewood into the stove.

Hu Xiner looked around, feeling satisfied no matter how she looked, and couldn't help but let out a silly laugh.

Finally, he turned his gaze to the busy Mu Qing. From this angle, he could just see his clear jawline and slender figure.

From the first time she saw him, she knew that he not only had a good-looking face, but also had the type of body that looked thin when dressed and muscular when undressed. She hadn't noticed it when she was applying medicine at the clinic that day, but now that she thought about it, it seemed that he had abdominal muscles. How many were they?

"What are you thinking about?" Mu Qing asked suddenly.

Hu Xiner blurted out: "Thinking about you..." He has some abdominal muscles.

She shut up in time, but Mu Qing was stunned and his eyes wandered.

Hu Xiner finally realized what she had said and couldn't help but cover her face.

The vegetable and shredded pork noodles tasted unexpectedly delicious. The two of them chatted and laughed while eating.

Just as they were happily checking in, Mrs. Li learned of their whereabouts from Erdong and also brought them some exciting good news...
