Chapter 53 A One-Dollar Bet



At this time, the typical gift amount is one yuan. Although it seems like a lot, one yuan is enough for the whole family to have a meal.

And being able to eat so much meat, everyone exclaimed that they had hit the jackpot!

Even at a state-run restaurant, three dishes and a soup would cost more than a dollar.

What's more, there are a total of ten dishes.

Before everyone started eating.

Yan Xiao then had Tang Lingling bring in the food so the little girl could eat something to fill her stomach.

The original saying was that the bride should not eat anything on the day of the wedding, but he didn't believe in that.

If the bride has to go hungry on her first day after the wedding, then the wedding banquet might as well not be held at all.

Anyway, no one should go hungry except his wife.

During the toasting, Yan Xiao saw that Tang Lingling had already gone back to sit down and eat, and he thought of his wife alone in the room.

He then asked Feng Tiezhu to take care of everyone for him.

Inside the room, Wen Qinghe listened to the lively conversations outside and the clinking of bowls and chopsticks on the dining table.

After she had eaten and drunk her fill, the sounds outside seemed to form a special symphony, hypnotizing her.

I couldn't help but doze off after sitting for a short while.

Yan Xiao pushed open the door and saw the little girl sitting on the bed, head down, looking sad and heartbroken. His heart tightened.

Outside, it was bustling and lively, but inside, it was cold and deserted.

No wonder the little girl was unhappy.

He cursed himself inwardly for his oversight in thinking that this was the first thing he thought of.

He walked over and tried to lift the little girl's chin, then bent down to comfort her.

As soon as he stood by the bed, the little girl leaned against him, and he quickly embraced her.

Feeling the little girl's dependence in his arms, he spoke softly with a guilty conscience.

"Sweetie, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you alone in the room..."

"From now on, I'll stay by your side and not go anywhere. Okay?"

Yan Xiao continued talking to himself, and after a while, he didn't hear a response from the little girl.

His heart sank to the bottom. Could it be that Qingqing wouldn't forgive him...?

The thought that the little girl might secretly shed tears filled him with panic.

He quickly helped the little girl up by her head.

You can see the little one's long, curled eyelashes covering her bright, clear eyes, and her breathing slightly heavy.

Clearly, she had fallen into a deep sleep.

...

The banquet owl laughed.

So, he said all that, but the little guy didn't hear a single word.

However, it's good that you're not disappointed or sad.

He was entertaining guests outside, and all he could think about was the young girl.

I was afraid she would suffer any injustice on such a joyous occasion.

Wen Qinghe had been sleeping restlessly while sitting, but the moment the man stood up, she sensed his familiar presence and relaxed, falling into a deep sleep.

Seeing that the little girl was sleeping soundly, Yan Xiao lifted the blanket and carefully put the little girl into the bed.

But when I helped her take off her shoes, I frowned at the flesh-colored socks covering her feet.

What kind of pants are these? And why are they connected to the calves?

It looks like realistic skin if you don't look closely.

Yan Xiao sat on the bed for a long time, studying the fabric for ages, but still couldn't figure out how his wife wore those faux-human-skin pants.

No wonder he didn't understand.

Although Yan Xiao had already achieved some success in the black market before he met Wen Qinghe.

But all he dealt with were the rice, flour, and cooking oil that ordinary people cared about.

I've never seen stockings worn by a woman before.

Even if he had seen them before, he wouldn't stare at a woman's legs on the street.

It was only when he saw the "bare leg artifact" on Wen Qinghe's legs that the handsome man became puzzled.
