Lin Qingyu pushed Gu Shi away shyly and covered his mouth to stop him from speaking.

Gu Shi smiled in Lin Qingyu's hands, but Lin Qingyu could tell as soon as he smiled.

"What are you laughing at! But your eyes are really beautiful, especially when you smile. Haven't I told you that?"

Lin Qingyu stared at Gu Shi with a lovesick look, then scratched her head in confusion.

She really couldn't remember what she had said to Gu Shi. Maybe she had talked too much, or maybe having a child had affected her memory.

However, Gu Shi always answered her questions seriously, and this time was no exception.

"I've said it more than once. You've told me to smile more, but I think smiling more at you is enough!"

"Oh dear, I'm so embarrassed! Hehehe!"

Lin Qingyu looked at Gu Shi and smiled foolishly once again. She could never get tired of looking at Gu Shi's face, especially now that he was more mature and more manly.

The atmosphere was just right, and Lin Qingyu started talking about some trivial things.

“I still remember when we were in Pear Blossom Village, many people said in private that you were a rough man and that if I married you, I would definitely not have a good life! But time flies, and in the blink of an eye we have been married for six or seven years!”

Gu Shi affectionately embraced Lin Qingyu as they talked, enjoying their rare moment of relaxation together.

"Now that you've married me, of course I'll do my best to give you a good life!"

"That's right! I bet everything I had on you back then, and thankfully you didn't let me down. But I'm liking you more and more!"

The two rarely said "I love you," and even "I like you" was not common. Perhaps because they had experienced more, Lin Qingyu recently started to say "I like you" and "I love you" all the time.

"Yes, me too!"

"And who are you? Can't you say a little more, say what I want to hear!"

Gu Shi stared intently at Lin Qingyu and said solemnly, "I like you. Gu Shi likes Lin Qingyu. Gu Shi loves Lin Qingyu the most..."

"Stop, stop! That's enough, I'm satisfied!"

This was the most relaxed moment for the two of them in a long time.

The good times didn't last long. Just two days later, the small restaurant faced its first investigation.

This time, not only the Industry and Commerce Bureau officials were present, but the police also came.

Although no one died, some people definitely got sick, such as having diarrhea or vomiting.

Moreover, since it involves some important figure from above, people tend to take it even more seriously.

"You say you have records of selling these products here, how can you guarantee they're genuine?"

A policeman, whose face was completely unfamiliar, spoke to Lin Qingyu in a businesslike tone.

It's probably because the higher-ups are going to investigate thoroughly, so they specifically brought in someone who has nothing to do with Gu Shi.

Gu Shi couldn't help but think to himself, "It seems the person I've offended is someone of considerable importance."

However, the priority now is to resolve the investigation.

"Officer, doing business is all about honesty and integrity. I can't guarantee that; it all comes down to your conscience!"

Since hearing Gu Shi's words of comfort, Lin Qingyu has become much more assertive, always speaking the truth and not lying.

The person asking the question glanced at Lin Qingyu, but ultimately said nothing.

“Then I must take it with me; it’s essential evidence.”

"Sure! I have a backup, officer, please feel free to take it!"

The young policeman thought Lin Qingyu would make things difficult for him, but he didn't expect her to be so easy to talk to.

They didn't make things difficult for Lin Qingyu and her companion after that, but the necessary procedures still had to be followed.

"Finally, the boss's wife needs to come with us. It's just a simple statement, it won't take much time."

Lin Qingyu was about to stride forward when she was suddenly pulled back by a force and stopped in her tracks.

Gu Shi looked at the policeman and said, "Comrade, she is my lover. Can I come with her?"

Lin Qingyu was somewhat stunned, and it was unclear what she had remembered. Her eyes dimmed for a moment, then suddenly brightened again.

The young policeman said nonchalantly, "You can go in, but you can't go in. You'll just have to wait outside."

Gu Shi had no objection and got into the police's three-wheeled vehicle with Lin Qingyu.

Meanwhile, the officials from the Industry and Commerce Bureau were still inspecting the restaurant, taking every step very seriously, but they did not find any illegal activities.

The restaurant staff observed that these people were indeed acting in a professional and business-like manner, without any coercion or making things difficult for anyone.

So when Lin Qingyu was taken away, no one was very nervous, as if any problem could be solved.

At the police station, Lin Qingyu finally understood why she had been specifically asked to come.

There was a man sitting inside, whose clothes looked a bit dirty and messy, not like someone from a wealthy family.

The police then began questioning him.

The main point is the standoff; relying solely on one side's account is definitely not enough.

Finally, under the pressure of Lin Qingyu's booklet, the man relented.

He did indeed buy Lin Qingyu's medicinal cuisine, but he ate it right then and there.

The final portion delivered to the important person was given to him by someone else, who said it would only have a few side effects and wouldn't cause any major problems.

No one would normally be willing to do this kind of thing; ultimately, it's all about being blinded by profit.

In the end, the man couldn't explain who gave him the item. In such cases, the only recourse is to make the man a scapegoat.

After the confrontation, Lin Qingyu walked out feeling relaxed.

Gu Shi immediately went over and took her hand.

Wow! Your hands are so warm!

Lin Qingyu sat inside for an hour or two and started to feel a bit cold. Eventually, she almost lost all feeling in her hands.

Gu Shi simply gripped Lin Qingyu's hand even tighter, saying, "I knew you were cold, so I specially warmed your hands!"

Gu Shi had kept his hands in his pockets the whole time, worried that Lin Qingyu's hands would be too cold when she came out; now they came in handy.

Lin Qingyu stubbornly pushed her hands into Gu Shi's arms, and said with a smile, "My husband is so good, he even knows how to warm his wife's hands!"

Gu Shi affectionately wrapped Lin Qingyu up completely in his military overcoat, which was warm from his body heat.

Fortunately, Gu Shi arranged for someone to drive him home halfway through the journey; otherwise, he would have had to go home freezing.

Once in the car, Lin Qingyu gave Gu Shi a thumbs up again, "You really had foresight! I was freezing to death when we came here. I don't know why it's so cold this year!"

"It should get better soon. It's been quite cold this year. Is it warm now?"

Gu Shi asked with concern, "Lin Qingyu has this constitution. In winter, even when he's under the covers, he still needs Gu Shi's body heat to keep him warm."

"Much better, much better! These police officers really work hard, having to ride bikes in this cold weather!"
