Chapter 68 "Don't... let them see..."
Anmi knew perfectly well what he meant by 'gift for meeting someone'.
Unfortunately, the place where he parked was right next to a shop.
The shop owner is an acquaintance of An Ting.
If she sees this, things could get complicated.
Although it's only a matter of time before I take him to see An Ting, it can't be now!
An Ting has just been scammed and is still emotionally unstable, so now is not the right time.
"Don't... we'll be seen..." Anmi turned her face away from him.
But his lower back was hooked by a large hand and he couldn't move. His dodging movements resembled an ambiguous tug-of-war.
Yan Jinnian lowered his voice and chuckled softly near her lips: "Then let them watch..."
As his breath fell, Anmi grabbed his collar and couldn't help but shiver.
The body's reaction at this moment is so honest.
Her lips parted slightly, almost instinctively wanting to welcome him.
But the man brushed past her lips and lightly pecked the tip of her nose.
"Okay, I'm not teasing you anymore."
He stopped there.
"Um……?"
Anmi blinked her eyes in bewilderment, like a little fish that had just taken the bait but was then abandoned.
That's it... that's all?
What happened to the promised gift?
Could it be that she misunderstood?
Watching the little face slowly wrinkle in his palm, Yan Jinnian's lips curled up slightly, almost imperceptibly.
"Why do you suddenly want to stay an extra day?" he asked.
Anmi's eyes darted around: "It's just that I haven't been back for a long time, and I want to stay home and spend more time with my mother."
She didn't want to talk about the fraud for the time being.
After all, this matter hasn't been resolved yet, so it's not appropriate to tell him.
Yan Jinnian looked into her eyes and remained silent.
Their bodies pressed tightly together, and Anmi, remembering the disappointing kiss from just now, reached out and hooked her arms around the back of his neck.
"Yan Jinnian..."
This position made it a little inconvenient to turn around, so she adjusted the position of her hips slightly.
The man beneath her suddenly darkened his gaze.
He pressed his large hand against her waist: "Baby..."
"What's wrong?" Anmi looked up.
Yan Jinnian's eyes shifted for a moment.
"Don't move."
?
Why don't you move?
Anmi, still puzzled, moved again.
If your posture is uncomfortable, of course you need to move!
She's not some immovable stone statue!
After finding a more comfortable spot, Anmi asked sweetly, "You drove all this way, haven't you had dinner yet?"
Yan Jinnian did not answer, and his expression even darkened.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Anmi touched his face curiously.
The man works out regularly, so his skin is very firm. She touched it a couple of times and couldn't take her hand off.
Every year, she would jump into the passenger seat and tilt her head to look at them.
Yan Jinnian did not answer.
He closed his eyes slightly and kissed Anmi's palm.
Long eyelashes drooped down.
His movements were so gentle that Anmi's heart melted like ice cream as he kissed her.
As the floor collapsed to the last layer, the man parted his teeth slightly and gently bit the edge of her thumb.
The skin felt a tingling sensation.
A slight throbbing occurred in some unspeakable place.
Yan Jinnian lifted his eyelids to look at her: "Baby, I'm hungry..."
Anmi's breath caught in her throat for a moment.
Are you hungry?
She asked nervously, "What would you like to eat? Dry noodles? Or soup noodles?"
"..." Yan Jinnian remained silent.
Anmi observed his expression: "You don't want to eat?"
That makes sense; he's so picky about food, he probably wouldn't even look at noodles from a small noodle shop.
However, An Ting's cola chicken wings are exceptional; she can eat two large bowls of rice with them every time.
"My mom is making cola chicken wings, do you want me to bring some over for you to try?" she asked excitedly, blinking her eyes.
"This is my favorite food!"
Yan Jinnian's expression softened slightly.
"What's your favorite food?"
"Um!"
Her thin lips curved into a slight smile.
"good."
"Then wait for me!" Anmi got off his lap.
I picked up Niannian, kissed her little head, and then put her in the back seat.
Before getting off the bus, she looked around to see if there were any familiar faces nearby. After confirming that there weren't any, she quickly ran back to the store.
Inside the car.
Yan Jinnian lowered his head.
A cell phone appeared next to my thigh.
It must have fallen out of Anmi's pocket when she was being carried over.
He picked up his phone, and it rang at that very moment.
A text message notification popped up in the center of the screen.
[Shuangye Branch of Dexian Public Security Bureau] is calling you, please answer!
His brow furrowed slightly.
He swiped the green button to answer the call.
"Hello…"
Inside the shop, An Ting had just brought out the cooked chicken wings.
"That's done. There are two more dishes to go."
Anmi went to the kitchen and brought out a bowl and chopsticks: "Mom, take your time. I'll taste it first to see if it's cooked!"
An Ting knew that this little glutton must be hungry, so she went along with her and said, "Okay."
While she was busy inside, Anmi quickly put several chicken wings into the bowl. Afraid it wouldn't be enough, she added two more scoops of rice on top, packed it down, and then ran back to the car with it.
"Try it! It's fresh out of the pot!"
Yan Jinnian silently accepted the offerings from her hands.
"Is this chicken wing... or a rice ball?"
"You even know about chicken wing rice balls?" Anmi handed him the chopsticks with a delighted look. "The chicken wings are at the bottom. I added rice because I was afraid you wouldn't have enough."
Every year, upon smelling the aroma, she would grab Yan Jinnian's elbow and try to get closer.
Anmi quickly hugged it: "Be good, don't disturb Daddy's meal."
The man's eyes flickered slightly. He picked up his chopsticks and began to eat the top layer of rice.
Anmi was anxious: "Take the chicken wings out of the water!"
Yan Jinnian glanced at her silently, then picked up his chopsticks and poked at his rice.
She was embarrassed to see that the rice was so compacted that even chopsticks couldn't pierce it.
"..."
“Hehe…” Anmi scratched Niannian’s little head.
"Sorry, I used a little too much force."
The man curled the corners of his lips into a smile and continued eating his rice.
You can see the entrance to the noodle shop in the rearview mirror.
An Ting's last two dishes should be ready soon.
Anmi put Niannian down and said, "You eat first, and when you're done, honk the horn so I can collect the bowls."
She was worried that if An Ting came out and found out she was missing, she would try to find her.
Yan Jinnian was chewing rice when he suddenly disappeared.
After a while, the passenger door was opened again.
"Try this!"
Anmi was holding a white plate.
"Turn it upside down, and you can eat the chicken wings."
Her eyes gleamed with wisdom.
Yan Jinnian silently chewed the rice in his mouth and turned the bowl upside down.
His hands were large enough to easily grip the bottom of the bowl.
The bowl swung in the air a few times.
Swish—swish—swish—
"..."
The rice remained completely still, as if it had been sucked in.
Anmi pursed her lips.
"Put it up here and tap it!"
The man obediently did as he was told.
Clang—clang—clang—
It remained completely still.
The two looked at each other in bewilderment.
"..."
Anmi was truly at her wit's end.
"Keep the plate for the bones."
After saying that, she hurriedly fled.
Yan Jinnian looked at the mountain of rice in his hand, which was impervious to swords and spears, and fell into deep thought.
He picked up his chopsticks and continued tackling the problem.
Across the car window are the streets of De County, brimming with the vibrant atmosphere of everyday life.
The twilight at seven o'clock still retained the afterglow of the setting sun.
People are having dinner in the shop next door.
Men, women, young and old, the whole family was enjoying a happy time together.
The car windows shut out the hustle and bustle outside.
Yan Jinnian lowered his head silently, and the bowl in his hand suddenly felt heavy.
Eating together as a family seems like something from the last century…
"Stir-fried vegetables and ham with eggs!"
Suddenly, a sharp crack broke the silence.
He looked up, and behind the mountain of plates, Anmi's bright smiling face peered in through the car window.

"Surprised?"
"I'm the food delivery expert!"
"My mom went to the bathroom, hehe!"
