Ai Xiaoxia transmigrated to the early 1990s, becoming a newlywed bride returning home.
Unexpectedly, her maiden home was a wolf's den, actually forcing her to extort money from her husban...
Chapter 127 A Heartwarming Man
Mu Chen also had some fantasies about Ai Xiaoxia's husband. He thought Lu Jingshen was not very good and was not worthy of Ai Xiaoxia.
But those were just his wishful thinking. When he saw Lu Jingshen, Mu Chen had to admit that this man was different from what he thought.
He also mechanically extended his hand and shook hands with Lu Jingshen, saying, "Hello, I'm Mu Chen."
Lu Jingshen walked over to Ai Xiaoxia and said, "Our friends are here, shouldn't we treat them to a simple meal?"
Without waiting for Ai Xiaoxia to speak, Mu Chen said to Lu Jingshen, "No need, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." After that, he nodded to Ai Xiaoxia and hurried away.
Lu Jingshen watched Mu Chen leave and felt something was wrong. He turned to look at Ai Xiaoxia and asked, "Does he know you're married?"
Ai Xiaoxia looked at Lu Jingshen and smiled: "Well, let's go in and talk. The fruit is still on the table. Let's take it upstairs so that it won't be in the way when there are too many guests later."
Lu Jingshen followed Ai Xiaoxia in and said, "Let's leave the fruit here and eat it together. I'll buy you whatever you like."
Ai Xiaoxia suddenly understood that Lu Jingshen came today because of Muchen. No wonder he didn't say anything at noon. It turned out that he had decided to come.
She deliberately teased Lu Jingshen and said, "These fruits are brought from the south. We may not be able to buy such fresh ones here."
Lu Jingshen's tone was serious: "I wonder if I can't get what you want to eat? Other people's food is not tasty."
Ai Xiaoxia coughed. What the hell is this? She's even more childish than a kindergarten kid.
Walking to the table, Lu Jingshen picked up the fruit, walked to the kitchen door, and asked someone to bring it in, wash it, and let everyone taste it.
Ai Xiaoxia laughed at someone's childish behavior. This guy is actually quite cute.
Lu Jingshen looked at Ai Xiaoxia smiling at him, and he also smiled without saying anything. In fact, he himself didn't expect that he would be so childish, but he got angry when he thought about other men being attentive to his wife.
Ai Xiaoxia saw that it was still early, so she told Lu Jingshen that she wanted to go to the Forestry Bureau’s staff building to take a look.
Lu Jingshen also knew that she was worried about this matter, so he went with her. Coincidentally, Lu Jingshen also wanted to find a suitable place for observation, so that Ai Xiaoxia could stay warm and comfortable during the next few days, and he would feel at ease.
When they arrived near the Forestry Bureau's staff building, they looked around and found a restaurant opposite the gate. The location was quite good, with a window on the second floor facing the gate.
However, they did not go directly to the restaurant. Instead, they walked around the courtyard of the family building to familiarize themselves with the environment inside. This was to prevent Ai Xiaoxia from following someone in one day and getting lost because of unfamiliarity.
After looking around, they had a basic idea in mind, and then the two went to the restaurant they had previously liked.
It was already dark at this time and it was almost time for dinner, so I just had a bite here and looked across at the opposite side.
Because the street lights at the gate are very bright, the view out of the window is also very clear.
However, after finishing their meal, the two sat for another hour and still did not see the target appear.
It was getting late, so Ai Xiaoxia prepared to go home first.
Because they had been sitting for a long time, the two of them strolled along the road and waited for a while before taking a taxi.
The weather is not very good today, the wind is particularly strong. A gust of wind blew over, bringing some snowflakes, which made my face hurt a little.
Ai Xiaoxia put on her hat and adjusted herself, and found that her hands were numb from the cold. She rubbed her hands and felt better.
At this time, Lu Jingshen stopped in front of Ai Xiaoxia, then unbuttoned a few buttons on his cotton-padded jacket and placed Ai Xiaoxia's two cold little hands directly in his arms: "Nuannuan, go first."
After saying that, he tightened the clothes with his other hand, so that Ai Xiaoxia's hand was completely inside the clothes.
Ai Xiaoxia wanted to take her hand away: "Are you stupid? It's so cold, wouldn't I feel bad if you got frozen?"
Lu Jingshen looked at Ai Xiaoxia with a smile: "You don't trust your husband's body so much?"
Ai Xiaoxia suddenly felt that there was another meaning in these words: "I trust you, but I am also worried about you."
"If I can't even protect my wife, what am I supposed to do?"
Ai Xiaoxia felt as if a feather was brushing against her heart, an itchy feeling. When she was with the person she loved, it seemed as if the air was sweet.
After warming her hands for a while, Ai Xiaoxia helped Lu Jingshen button up his shirt and took his arm: "Let's go, let's go to the front and take a taxi home."
Lu Jingshen took Ai Xiaoxia's hand back in his and put it in his pocket.
The two of them followed the road and headed towards the intersection ahead, where they could get a taxi.
As we walked, it started to snow. The snowflakes under the street lights danced with the wind. The dim street lights were gentle, and the cold weather suddenly seemed to have warmed up.
When they reached the intersection, a taxi came and the two got in and went home.
After getting out of the car, Lu Jingshen kept holding Ai Xiaoxia's hand. Holding her soft little hand was what made Lu Jingshen feel at ease and happy now.
After arriving home and changing their shoes, the two sat down at the desk and began to study other characteristics and possible appearances of the woman who had contacted Meng Qiuju.
For example, her height and the way she likes to dress, and then she has to wear beautiful shoes to disguise herself, which proves that this woman pays attention to her appearance.
We discussed until late at night before washing up and going to bed.
The next day, Lu Jingshen went to work, and Ai Xiaoxia went to the restaurant opposite the Forestry Bureau’s staff building.
I asked for a seat facing the main door and told the waitress that she would not be there when there were many people dining, but would be there to order boiled water when there were fewer people, and would pay ten yuan a day.
This was a lot of money, so the waiter also served her some fruit and other things. Of course, this seat had to be kept for her as long as she was there.
This is indeed convenient. Whenever there is someone suspicious, Ai Xiaoxia will go out to check, and then take a notebook to write down which unit the person entered and what characteristics he has.
Collect approximate data first, and then check them one by one.
The waiters in the hotel thought she was a plainclothes police officer solving a case, so they were quite polite to her.
Two suspicious people were found on the first day. Ai Xiaoxia followed them into the unit and memorized their residence.
It was not a hassle to book a table in the restaurant. I could eat when I was hungry, take a nap when I was sleepy, and go downstairs to move around when I was tired. At noon and in the evening, Lu Jingshen would come over, and the two of them would eat and walk around nearby, and observe the people around them.
The next day, three more suspicious cases were found.
As Saturday approached, there was still no one who looked particularly striking. The ones before were all similar, but Ai Xiaoxia always felt that something was missing.
On Saturday afternoon, Ai Xiaoxia sat there feeling a little lost, watching people coming and going, feeling a little dazed. Everything in front of her seemed unreal, but she was really here.
At this time, the young man I had met at the Forestry Bureau gate walked over. He looked at Ai Xiaoxia, still full of surprise and confusion. "Comrade, I spoke to you presumptuously last time, and I think I scared you, but I really thought we looked familiar. When I got home and saw the family photo on the wall, I realized why. You look so much like my aunt."
