Zhou Mingli kissed her deeply, conquering her territory, biting her tongue, sucking and gently nibbling.
"That's strange, is it locked from the inside?"
The people outside searched for a long time but couldn't open the door. They left strangely, seemingly to go find the key.
Throughout the entire ordeal, the person who opened the door seemed completely unaware that two people were kissing inside the wall.
My footsteps have taken me further and further away.
Zhou Mingli finally let go of Jiang Ci.
Her arm unconsciously pressed against Zhou Mingli's chest, and her breathing became somewhat rapid.
He grasped Jiang Ci's hand, his voice low and husky, "I haven't finished my work yet, I won't be able to go back until tonight."
Who cares about that?
Zhou Mingli took a step back, opened the door a crack to let in light, and straightened Jiang Ci's wrinkled clothes.
"Leave quickly, that person will be back soon."
That person will definitely need the key this time, so they can't block the door and prevent him from getting in.
Zhou Mingli replied calmly, "Okay, I'll take you back."
Jiang Ci glanced at him.
Zhou Mingli's lips were bitten by her earlier, and they were red and swollen.
She wasn't really angry because of Zhou Mingli's stubbornness. He knew perfectly well whether he was jealous or not, and Jiang Ci wouldn't let his petty thoughts cause her to suffer.
The door was opened by Zhou Mingli.
As Jiang Ci walked out, she said, "When I put on this outfit today, I thought I was missing a lipstick, but those things are too expensive and I can't afford them right now."
Zhou Mingli's ears twitched slightly as he looked at her, only to see that Jiang Ci's expression was indifferent. She had just kissed him, and her lips were rosy red, as if she had used the most beautiful lipstick.
"Back then, I thought, if only you were home. Even though I couldn't afford lipstick, I could make my lips red." Jiang Ci's lips curled up slightly as she turned her head to look at Zhou Mingli, one eye seeming to wink mischievously. "Look now, isn't it red?"
Zhou Mingli's eyes were deep, fixed on her, his gaze falling on her ravaged and reddened lips, his gaze fixed on her body, as if solid.
Jiang Ci seemed completely unaware of the danger and continued walking forward at a leisurely pace.
Zhou Mingli followed her closely, arriving at the front of the hall.
"Are you done with your work? It'll be dark soon. If you can go back early, then go back early. Beijing isn't that safe at night." Zhou Mingli didn't go inside. He stopped and asked her with his head down.
"Once I'm done with this, I'll ask the people in the Personnel Department whether I've been hired or what. If all goes well, I should be able to start working in the Protocol Department soon."
Jiang Ci spoke to Zhou Mingli with her back to the people in the hall.
Zhou Mingli raised his eyes and casually glanced around the hall.
The peacock surrounding Jiang Ci was staring intently in their direction.
He lowered his eyes and reached out to tuck a strand of hair behind Jiang Ci's ear. "Okay, then I'll head over first. I won't be home for dinner tonight, so you'll probably have to cook."
Even the simplest act of affection could ignite a fire burning in the peacock's eyes.
But what good is the peacock's anger?
Zhou Mingli appeared calm and composed.
Neither of them were particularly clingy or affectionate. After finishing their conversation, Zhou Mingli headed towards the kitchen.
Jiang Ci then returned to the hall to find the people from the Cadre Department.
Hobbens looked at Jiang Ci with a dazed expression.
Perhaps because he cared too much, he easily noticed the difference in Jiang Ci at this moment.
Her eyes became much more shimmering, as if they were filled with a pool of gentle water, and her brows and eyes revealed a relaxed joy.
Her lips turned red, even more vibrant and luscious than a blooming rose.
When Hobbens realized why the lips were so red, he collapsed.
What good is anger? He is Jiang Ci's lover and husband.
Can he run over and separate them?
On what grounds?
Upon realizing this, Hobbens could no longer even manage a wry smile.
Jiang Ci did not notice anything unusual about Hobens. She asked Cadre Yu from the Cadre Department about her future.
The cadre handed the board in his hand to her, saying, "This was personally done by our team leader. Your ability and qualities are both top marks."
"The protocol staff are also very satisfied with you."
"Jiang Ci, welcome to our Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
Cadre Yu reached out his hand to Jiang Ci.
Jiang Ci was also pleased, and with a smile, accepted the invitation from the cadre Yu.
She grasped the cadre's hand and said, "Thank you!"
"I remember you have two children at home. You will return to work at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in three days. The hours are from 8:30 in the morning to 5:00 in the afternoon. However, the Protocol Department has been quite busy lately, so you may get off work a little late. As you know, it's close to the end of the year, so there's nothing we can do about it."
We usually eat lunch at the ministry's canteen. Your food ration is in Beijing; you receive a fixed amount of food each month. This month's ration is coming up.
"We're in administrative positions, so our salaries are calculated differently from others. Your salary is currently 25 yuan per month, plus ration coupons, food and oil subsidies, etc. By the way, haven't you been allocated housing yet?"
Jiang Ci nodded, "Yes, my husband just started working and hasn't been assigned a house yet."
The cadre nodded. "Housing is indeed in short supply right now. Even employees of the municipal government have to wait."
"Then you should fill out a form when you go to work. The housing allocation here should be faster than that of the municipal government."
"Okay, I'll remember that."
The cadre then mentioned some things she could apply for after starting work.
Jiang Ci wrote them down one by one.
After leaving the Great Hall of the People, it got dark after riding my bicycle for a while.
Jiang Ci glanced at her watch; it was only five o'clock.
She remarked on how quickly it gets dark in winter, and then pedaled her bicycle even faster.
As Zhou Mingli said, Beijing is not safe right now.
It's best for a woman to avoid wandering the streets alone at night.
Fortunately, this area is a political center, so the security is relatively good.
Thinking of the two little ones who would be getting out of school soon, Jiang Ci rode his bicycle very fast.
She also has to go to work, so it will be a bit of a hassle to figure out who will pick up and drop off Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao at school.
Jiang Ci kept thinking about this on the way.
The main issue is that she'll likely be busy during the Chinese New Year period, and Zhou Mingli will certainly be just as busy, so it would be best to hire someone to take care of the two children.
But who can we hire these days?
Zhou Mingli has no parents.
She pedaled her bicycle at breakneck speed, and Jiang Ci, preoccupied with caring for her two children, didn't notice a car passing by.
Jiang Ci didn't pay much attention. When she got to the vicinity of the Public Security Bureau, she just casually glanced in that direction.
Jiangci almost braked to a complete stop.
She quickly calmed down, staring at that spot, her entire aura turning cold.
Three people were standing under the lamp.
Jiang Ci recognized two of them.
One is Liu Yinyin.
One of them is... Xia Lei!
