Wei Anan was always teased by Qin Anning, but now she was no longer so shameless. She smiled and replied, "Of course, I came here because of the smell."
Since they were all family, there was no need for any polite words. They sat down and started eating.
Put the lamb slices into the pot, they quickly change color and curl up, rolling in the hot soup and absorbing the essence of the soup base.
Use chopsticks to pick up the boiled mutton, dip it in the prepared sauce, and put it into your mouth. The tender and smooth texture and the deliciousness of the mutton spread on the tip of your tongue, making you intoxicated.
"Well, it's a well-established brand, it tastes really good."
Lu Cheng helped Qin An Ning pick up the cooked mutton and put it in the bowl. "If you like it, come back in a few days."
Cheng Shuqing also helped Wei Anan pick up some food. Maybe it was because of the heat or because Wei Anan was embarrassed again, but her face was flushed.
She helped Cheng Shuqing pick up a piece of meat with her chopsticks and said, "You eat too."
The affection between the two is so sweet that it makes others envious.
Qin Anning raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's clink glasses and congratulate Big Brother on his promotion."
Outside, she didn't dare say much, for fear that some radical in the house would hear her and make random accusations against her.
The four of them ate and chatted. Qin An Ning told two little jokes, which made Wei An An hold her stomach and laugh.
"Ningning, are you trying to make me laugh enough?"
"An An?" A woman at a table behind him turned around after hearing the voice and said with a smile, "It's really you. I thought I heard it wrongly."
"Auntie Ding." Wei Anan greeted her politely, with a somewhat distant attitude.
The woman acted as if she didn't see anything and even walked to their table.
His scrutinizing gaze passed over the three of them, lingering a little longer on Cheng Shuqing, and then he asked, "Are these all your friends?"
"Yeah." Wei Anan answered briefly.
The woman said to herself, "If I had known you were coming to eat, we would have eaten together. I also wanted to introduce my nephew to you.
Ding Hui, come and meet me. This is Wei Anan that I often mentioned to you.
An An, this is my nephew Ding Hui, he is 22 years old and works at the Electric Power Bureau. If you have time, you can come out and play together.
The man named Ding Hui was about 1.75 meters tall and not bad looking, but he had an arrogant look on his face, which ruined his favorability at first sight.
He held his chin high and said arrogantly, "I can take you wherever you want to go."
Cheng Shuqing stood up and blocked Ding Hui's gaze from looking at Wei Anan.
He said calmly and without haste, "We are preparing for the engagement. I'm afraid my fiancée won't have much time to hang out with Comrade Ding."
The moment their eyes met, Cheng Shuqing raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a hint of barely perceptible contempt.
Ding Hui felt Cheng Shuqing's contempt and immediately became dissatisfied. He had a good family background and a good job, so where did this brat dare to treat him like this!
He asked in a very aggressive tone, "Who are you? Are you worthy of Wei Anan?"
Wei Anan poked her head out from behind Cheng Shuqing and asked angrily, "Is it your business whether I'm worthy or not? What right do you have to meddle in my affairs?"
After that, he said to the woman, "Auntie Ding, you can see that I have a partner.
He works in the Foreign Trade Department and is a very handsome man. Not just anyone can compare to him.
We are in a free relationship, and even my parents agree, so you'd better not introduce anyone to me in the future."
This is just short of saying, "Who do you think you are, and you're trying to interfere in something that my parents have already agreed to?"
The woman was also a little unhappy, with an embarrassed look on her face, but due to Wei's father's position, she didn't dare to say anything unpleasant. "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. Let's go back and eat first."
After the two of them quarreled, the atmosphere between them was not as good as before.
Wei Anan was afraid that Cheng Shuqing would be unhappy, so she explained in a low voice, "That woman is our colleague's wife. She has nothing to do with me. Don't pay attention to what she says."
Cheng Shuqing picked up a piece of hot mutton for Wei Anan with chopsticks, and then said slowly, "I can ignore what she said, but I mean it."
"Ah? What?" Wei Anan asked stupidly, unable to wrap his mind around what was going on.
“As for our engagement, I’ve been busy handing over my work these days and haven’t had time to tell you.
Since we've talked about this today, go back and ask your uncle and aunt if they have time this weekend so I can visit them and discuss our engagement."
Wei Anan stared at Cheng Shuqing, as if she didn't believe what she heard.
Cheng Shuqing didn't hear a response. He turned around and saw Wei Anan looking dazed. He asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"You, you really want to get engaged to me?"
"What else?" Cheng Shuqing raised an eyebrow and looked at him, his dark eyes hiding an intoxicating tenderness. "Who should I get engaged to?"
The corners of Wei Anan's lips twitched, and the smile she couldn't suppress betrayed her good mood. Her almond eyes curved, and her tone was cheerful, "I know. I'll ask when I get back."
Qin An Ning and Lu Cheng looked at each other, and then they accidentally ate a mouthful of dog food again.
After the meal, the four of them slowly walked out of the restaurant. A cold wind blew in their faces, and Qin An Ning couldn't help but shiver.
Seeing this, Lu Cheng hurried forward and carefully helped her gather the scarf around her neck. He said with concern, "It's too cold outside. Let's get in the car quickly."
Qin Anning smiled and said goodbye to Cheng Shuqing and Wei Anan, "Brother, Anan, we'll leave first."
Cheng Shuqing nodded, "Well, we're going back too."
The bicycle was locked at the door, and the two of them got on the bicycle and walked side by side.
The dim street lights cast a soft light, lengthening their shadows.
I don’t know what interesting topics Cheng Shuqing talked about, but I saw that Wei Anan’s face was always filled with a happy smile.
Qin Anning was sitting in the car and saw this heartwarming scene, and she was sincerely happy for the two of them.
She turned her head to look at Lu Cheng beside her, and found that he was looking at her tenderly, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.
It’s great that everyone around me has their own happiness!
When Qin Anning went to the post office to call Director Sun, the line was busy and he didn't know what was going on on the other end.
It took three tries before the call was connected. Before Qin Anning could explain her situation, Director Sun excitedly asked, "Xiao Qin, what have you done? Why did the Ministry of Health notify me to attend a meeting?"
Qin An Ning was very confused and thought for a long time. Apart from being called away and asked questions for a long time that day, she didn't do anything!
"Director Sun, I didn't do anything. What's going on?"
Director Sun was also confused, “If I knew what was going on, I wouldn’t ask you.
Never mind, let’s go and see, it doesn’t sound like a bad thing to me.”
Having said that, he has no right to say no when the higher authorities notify him.
"By the way, what's the matter with you calling?"
Qin Anning thought about it and decided it would be better to talk about the experiment in person. "My business is not urgent. I'll talk about it when you come."
