Chapter 70 Back to Beijing
The person on the other end of the screen laughed for a while.
"Baby, I can't see you anymore."
Anmi reluctantly pulled the blanket down, revealing half of her flushed face.
“You can’t do this…” she protested softly.
Who would play such a trick on someone...
What a flamboyant man!
"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore." Yan Jinnian turned the camera back.
Her usually cool face was filled with a gentle smile.
"Aren't you coming back tomorrow?" he asked.
"Mmm." Anmi looked at the screen. "I want to stay home for another day tomorrow."
Yan Jinnian didn't say anything.
The two stared at each other silently for a while through the screen.
Anmi couldn't stand the way he looked at the dog with such affection, so she changed the subject, "Where's Niannian? I haven't seen it."
Yan Jinnian flipped the camera over, pointing it at the other side of the sofa.
In the corner, a fluffy gray-brown creature was nibbling away at his ankle.
"Uh... doesn't it hurt?" Anmi's scalp tingled.
Nian Nian's teeth and claws are quite aggressive. Last time, it playfully bit her ankle, and the redness didn't fade for two hours.
"Yes, to some extent, but..."
As if to prove something, the man swept Nian Nian under the sofa with a kick as soon as he finished speaking.
The next second, the rebellious son jumped back even more excitedly, grabbing his ankle and nibbling at it even more fiercely.
Anmi looked at Nian Nian's excited face: "..."
I really don't know where it got its persistent and clingy personality from...
The camera pans back to the starting position.
"Are you coming back the day after tomorrow?"
A handsome face suddenly pressed against her from close range, and Anmi couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Yes, the day after tomorrow morning." She quietly moved her face away from the screen.
"Okay." Yan Jinnian stood up, gently placed the little chubby bee on his chest with his large hand, and put it into the little rabbit cat's nest in the corner.
Looking at his gentle profile, Anmi had a feeling that he would definitely be a doting father to his daughter in the future.
Thinking of her daughter, her ears burned again.
Yan Jinnian squatted down and showed her how Mimi was sleeping.
The pink paw pads looked soft and fluffy, and the little belly undulated gently.
Niannian had been following Yan Jinnian around, nibbling away, but when it saw Mimi being put into the cat bed, it stopped nibbling and obediently pressed its head against Mimi's side, watching over her as she slept.
Seeing how adorable the two little ones were, Anmi's heart felt all warm and fuzzy.
"They are so cute!" she exclaimed sincerely.
The man on the screen slightly curled the corner of his mouth.
Anmi thought he would say "agree," but the man simply replied quietly, "Get some rest."
?
Something's not right!
Anmi's eyelids twitched suddenly.
That line... why does it sound so familiar?!
This wasn't last night...!
She pursed her lips and took off her headphones to listen to what was happening outside.
After confirming that no one was coming up from the second floor, she quietly approached the screen.
"Yan Jinnian..."
"Um?"
Anmi observed his gaze: "Are you angry with me?"
The man calmly lay back on the sofa: "What do you mean?"
"..."
See? He's angry!
Anmi's big eyes sparkled with innocence.
"I told you to get some rest early last night because I was worried you'd be tired," she said seriously.
Yan Jinnian pointed the camera at his own face, with an expression that said, "Do you think I believe you?"
Anmi chuckled mischievously, wrapped the blanket around her head, revealing her round little face.
"But I don't think you're very tired today."
"So let's whisper something!"
She smiled, her eyes curving into little crescents.
The man on the screen also raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on his lips.
As her smile deepened, her lower eyelids bulged slightly, making her eyes appear even more tender and affectionate.
He simply said with a warm smile, "Goodnight."
Thump—
The video call ended.
The only light in the pitch-black room came from the reflection of the phone screen.
Anmi stared silently at the chat box between the two for a long time.
She exited WeChat and switched to Xiaogongshu, rapidly typing on the keyboard.
【Waaaaah ( )】
Help! What should I do if my boyfriend holds a grudge?
…
The next morning at eight o'clock, Xiao Wang arrived at the door with the workers on time.
After finalizing the renovation plan, they began construction.
The neighbors all came to see what was going on, saying it was the first time in over a decade they'd seen such a commotion at their house.
An Ting's face glowed, and she was happy from the inside out.
The renovation of the noodle shop was a slow and meticulous process. Anmi watched from the sidelines for a whole morning. Xiao Wang was serious and responsible in his work, and there was nothing for her to worry about.
In the afternoon, she told An Ting that she had to go back.
An Ting was also worried about her work and told her to go back home quickly and not to worry about home.
Anmi bought a high-speed train ticket for 4 p.m. Before leaving, Anting packed her some almond cookies that she had made herself.
"Take this to your two girlfriends."
An Ting carefully divided the items into three portions.
"You can't throw a tantrum when you live with someone! Remember, always take a step back and things will be much better."
Anmi hadn't told her about starting her own business yet, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer, "I know."
At 5:30 p.m., Anmi returned to Beijing.
She first took the subway to Tang Cai's place and gave her the almond cookies.
Tang Cai was eating fried chicken when she heard that she was coming. She immediately pulled her to sit down and eat with her.
Unable to refuse Anmi's hospitality, she ate a few pieces as well.
He also told her about An Ting being scammed.
After hearing this, Tang Cai angrily gnawed on a chicken leg: "How could this happen! Luckily, you got your money back! Those swindlers are despicable!"
Anmi, munching on a chicken leg, exclaimed, "Exactly! Thank you, police officer!"
The two chatted for a while.
Tang Cai asked her, "Why haven't I heard from Qiuqiu lately? I called her yesterday to ask if she wanted to go shopping, but she said she was busy."
Anmi quickly ate a whole circle of the chicken leg.
"Is that so? Maybe he really is too busy, hahaha!"
"Hey Cai Cai, I'm leaving now! I'll be gone for a couple of days, I still have to clean the house when I get back!"
Hahahaha!
After saying that, she ignored Tang Cai's attempts to persuade her to stay and got up to leave.
"Ai Mi Zi!"
The door closed, and Tang Cai frowned deeply behind it.
Something's not right...
Why do I suddenly have this feeling that my two best friends are having secrets about me?
This is really not right!!
…
After all that fuss, Anmi finally got back to her apartment complex at 9 p.m.
Warm yellow lights illuminated the garden downstairs.
She carefully carried the almond shortbread in her hands as she walked along the cobblestone path.
Since Wanqiu was not in the country, she left two copies for Tang Cai.
She wanted to bring the remaining portion back for Yan Jinnian to try.
When I opened the door, the entryway was pitch black.
Anmi put down her things and changed her shoes.
In the darkness, a fluffy little head came running towards us.
Meow~
“Nian Nian~” Anmi lowered her voice and bent down to pick it up.
He kept snuggling into her arms every year.
Anmi carried it inside. The lights in the living room and dining room were off, with only a warm yellow light shining in the hallway.
Anmi recognized it as her room.
What is Yan Jinnian doing in her room at this hour?
She walked over curiously.
The room door was open, and as Anmi walked to the door, she saw a heartwarming scene inside.
Yan Jinnian fell asleep on her bed, and Mimi nestled on his chest, also sleeping soundly.
She tiptoed over.
The man was shirtless, wearing only black pajama bottoms.
The muscular man and the kitten are sleeping peacefully together, a beautiful and pleasing sight.
After watching for a while, she couldn't resist taking out her phone to take a picture of him and Mimi together.
After taking the photos, Anmi put her phone away.
She placed Nian Nian on the bed, sniffed around Yan Jin Nian's waist, and then started scratching his waistband with her paws.
Anmi was afraid it would scratch Yan Jinnian's abs, so she tried to pick it up and take it away.
As a result, Nian Nian's claws suddenly hooked onto something and pulled outwards with force.
Anmi watched helplessly as it pulled out an item she knew all too well from under the man's waistband.
"This is……?"
Anmi snatched the little thing from under Niannian's paws.
Under the warm glow of the wall lamp, the little strawberry-shaped lingerie was completely exposed.
Anmi was stunned for a full ten seconds before she realized what she had seen.
"ah! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !"
