It was unclear whether Tong Muzhen's face showed relief or increased nervousness; in any case, her expression was extremely complicated.
Shi didn't ask. She knew that Tong Muzhen might have suspected the same person as her. After all, Xia Rongrong was related to the events of 27 years ago. Not many people could benefit from her death. The Tian family was the only one.
At this time, the sound of a car shutting down was heard again downstairs, and Shi Ye's eyes lit up slightly: "Brother Xiao Yue is back!"
Seeing the expression on her face, Tong Muzhen's mood also improved: "Did you cook the meal downstairs specifically for him?"
Maki nodded confidently: "Of course!"
Tong Muzhen laughed and reached out to poke Shiye's forehead: "You are so shameless."
"Aunt, you are wrong. Now that the marriage report has been released, brother Xiao Yue and I are officially husband and wife. What is there to be ashamed of? Husband and wife are one body, so I have to treat him better." After saying that, Shi opened the door and hurried downstairs.
Looking at her jumping figure, Tong Muzhen's eyes were full of smiles. After a moment, she sighed softly, never mind, it was useless to think too much about these things. She was not sure what the final result would be, but there was always someone who loved Ayue, and that was enough.
As soon as Shi Ye went downstairs, she saw Xiao Yue opening the door and coming in. She curled her lips and said, "You're back!"
Xiao Yue paused, turned to look at her, and looked a little dazed: "It's very late, why aren't you asleep?"
"Waiting for you!" Shi also went downstairs, took Xiao Yue's slightly cold hand, walked to the dining table, touched the plate, which was still a little warm, she pushed the ribs aside and said, "This dish has been eaten by a dog, don't eat it, I'll cook another one for you."
Xiao Yue grabbed her hand, his eyes gentle: "No, one dish is enough."
Shi also frowned: "No! One vegetable is not nutritious enough. It's okay, it will be quick! You eat first."
After saying that, Shi went into the kitchen, and soon, the sizzling sound of oil being put into the pan could be heard.
Tong Muzhen went downstairs and saw Xiao Yue leaning on a chair, his eyes fixed on the busy figure in the kitchen. He chuckled and said, "Why don't you eat? Xiaoye made this for you several hours in advance and kept it warm."
Xiao Yue turned around and glanced at the spareribs on the table: "Is anyone coming over tonight? Jiang Zishan?"
Hearing this, Tong Muzhen was stunned, and then burst out laughing: "Xiaoye said it was bitten by a dog, and you understand?"
Xiao Yue didn't laugh, he frowned and asked, "What is Jiang Zishan doing here?"
Tong Muzhen sat down opposite Xiao Yue: "Why don't you eat quickly? It's getting cold soon. Xiao Ye is coming out to scold you."
As she spoke, Tong Muzhen told Xiao Yue what happened tonight, but the latter had no expression on his face.
Tong Muzhen said softly: "Xiaoye is a good girl, you should treat her well in the future."
"Yeah." Xiao Yue didn't say any words of promise, just a deep "hmm", but it already represented a lot.
Tong Muzhen didn't say anything else, and left the restaurant. After a while, Shi came out with a plate of stir-fried meat and pushed it in front of Xiao Yue: "Try it quickly, is the rice a little dry? How about I make some soup?"
Xiao Yue chuckled, shook his head, took her hand and sat down: "Don't be busy, eat something too."
Shi also nodded: "Okay, I'll eat with you, otherwise you won't have much appetite alone."
After that, she went to the kitchen to get some dishes and chopsticks, and sat face to face with Xiao Yue: "Did Auntie tell you everything?"
Xiao Yue nodded, and Shi also asked curiously: "Where did you go today? Did you go to take care of Sheng Yixiu?"
Although she was asking, she was already certain. After all, the mission was completed, which meant that Sheng Yixiu's one-year jail sentence was certain. If Xiao Yue hadn't been behind the scenes, Sheng Yixiu would not have lost out on the three years he had done.
Xiao Yue's beautiful phoenix eyes were filled with smiles: "Didn't you guess what I did?"
Shi also pursed his lips and didn't say anything to thank him. Given their current relationship, it would seem awkward to say this.
She said, "Now that the matter has been resolved, when will we return to the Northwest?"
The matter of Sheng Yixiu was just a cover. Jiang Zishan was determined to make her beg him. After tonight, he would test her everywhere to confirm that she was Shi Ye from her previous life. Jiang Zishan was a persistent and possessive madman.
Xiao Yue pondered for a moment: "Wait until Zhao Huai's problem is resolved, do you want to know the result?"
"Is my performance so obvious?" Shiya bit his chopsticks, a little confused.
Xiao Yue said frankly with a smile in his voice: "It is very obvious."
Shi was also a little hesitant: "Didn't you say you were going back to complete the mission? Uncle Xiao should urge you now."
"It shouldn't take more than two days." Xiao Yue took a few bites of the food, his tone indifferent.
Hearing this, Shi also paused, looked up at Xiao Yue, and nodded slightly: "It should be."
The two of them kept it a secret. After dinner, Xiao Yue went to wash the dishes before they went upstairs. However, as to the question of how to sleep, Shi also said that they had already slept and there was no need to pretend. Under Xiao Yue's gaze, who was pretending to be calm, he pulled him back to the room.
As soon as Xiao Yue entered the room, his expression became serious. He pulled back Shi Ye, who was walking in front of him, and stood behind him.
"What's wrong?" Shi was slightly stunned, a little confused.
Xiao Yue said nothing, but took out a gun from his waist and pointed it in the direction of the bed. Shi was also slightly surprised. Is there anyone there?
She looked around and saw that there was no one on the bed, which meant... She moved her gaze under the bed and her eyelids twitched as if she thought of something.
Xiao Yue pointed the gun at the bed and said coldly, "If you don't come out, I'm going to shoot."
His voice was cold and there was no hint of joking in it. The person hiding under the bed naturally did not dare to take any risks and quickly lifted the sheets and climbed out. His posture was not really good-looking, but his figure was quite good.
Shi Ye pondered in his heart, with a sneer on his face: "Xia Yun, why are you hiding in Brother Xiao Yue's room dressed like this? Offering yourself to him? Don't you feel ashamed? Uncle Xiao! Auntie! Come and take a look--"
Of course Shi Ye knew what Xia Yun came for, and he was desperate to complete the mission to this extent.
"You!" Xia Yun's face turned pale. She looked at Xiao Yue, then at Shi Ye, biting her lips, her whole body trembling.
She didn't expect that Shi Ye would be so shameless that he would live in the same room with Xiao Yue when he returned home.
She had already made up her mind that no matter how cold Xiao Yue was, she would complete Xiao Yue's task before the countdown ended tonight. Even if she was rejected, given Xiao Yue's personality, he would never make a fuss. She could just pretend that nothing had happened. But she didn't expect that Shi Ye would also come. All her plans were in vain!
Xia Yun looked straight at Xiao Yue, gritting her teeth. Just as she was about to step forward, she saw Shi Ye pulling the man back.
She looked at Xia Yun with a half-smile: "Why are you in such a hurry? Wait for Uncle Xiao and Auntie Xiao to come over and explain everything clearly."
As he spoke, Xiao Yue's eyebrows twitched, and the muzzle of the gun slowly moved towards the window. Shi was also stunned and looked over, only to see slight movements in the window frame. In the darkness, it seemed that something was crawling outside the window.
