The battle between the two women, Lin Mengru and Shangguan Rong, ended with Lin Mengru leaving the Li family's old mansion in a sorry state, bearing several slap marks on her face.
On the surface, Shangguan Rong seemed to have the upper hand, but in reality, Lin Mengru won a great victory because Li Churan immediately vowed to marry no one but Lin Mengru, which infuriated Shangguan Rong.
Meanwhile, Ye Ning had no time to pay attention to Li Churan and the others, and continued her stockpiling plan.
The supermarket's supplier finally delivered the goods, a one-time shipment of five million units.
Truckloads of containers drove toward the warehouse that Ye Ning had rented. Workers were busy unloading the goods, while Gao Feng was counting the items on the side.
The work continued until noon, when the warehouse was completely filled with goods.
"Miss! This time we're delivering ten truckloads of goods! They include household items, daily necessities, small appliances, and baby products..."
Ye Ning listened to Gao Feng's report and nodded in satisfaction.
Great! It includes many things she hadn't thought of, saving her the trouble of buying each item individually.
"Buy more daily necessities, the quality must be good, price is not a problem." Anyway, money is just worthless paper in the apocalypse, she plans to spend every last penny in her account before the extreme cold arrives.
"Oh, right! Could you buy me some commonly used medicines? Especially for treating external injuries, frostbite, colds, and inflammation. Here's a card with two million in it. Let me know when you've used it all." Ye Ning handed Gao Feng a card.
Two million worth of medicine! What is Miss doing buying so much medicine? Is she planning to open a large pharmacy?
“But, Miss! Purchasing large quantities of medicine requires the corresponding qualifications!” Gao Feng said hesitantly.
"Then let's register and set up a large pharmacy! While we're at it, let's also purchase some small medical equipment. I'll find someone else to help you with that."
"Yes, Miss!" Gao Feng replied respectfully.
"Now that everything is in storage and there's nothing much to do for the time being, why don't you take a couple of days off and spend some time with Xiaomin?"
Now that everything in the supermarket is ready, she needs to send Gao Feng out first so she can store the items into her spatial storage separately.
After confirming that Gao Feng had left, Ye Ning couldn't wait to push open the warehouse door.
A wide variety of goods are neatly arranged on the shelves, including not only daily necessities such as pots and pans, but also various snacks, staple foods, and fast food.
Although Ye Ning already had enough food stockpiled, she accepted everything that was delivered.
This supplier delivers a wide variety of snacks, including not only various puffed foods, but also biscuits, candied fruits, and chocolates.
Seeing the Ferrero Rocher chocolates on the shelf, Ye Ning suddenly felt a mix of bitterness and sweetness, like her teeth were soft and yielding after eating a hundred bayberries.
She remembered something: in her past life, on her 30th birthday, Xiao Jingchen had also given her a chocolate like this.
The chocolate lay quietly in his palm, its brand-new gold wrapper gleaming in the firelight. But even more dazzling than the chocolate were his eyes, bright as stars.
She could hardly imagine how much effort he had put in and how much he had paid to get his hands on this chocolate in such a resource-scarce post-apocalyptic world. He must have planned it for a long time, just to give her a surprise on her birthday.
That day, she cried, which was rare for her. She thought that after being ruthlessly abandoned by Li Churan, after being surrounded by zombies and struggling to survive in the freezing cold, after experiencing countless betrayals and cruelty, she would have hardened her heart. She never expected that she would still shed tears.
Xiao Jingchen had expected to see a look of surprise on her face, but instead she cried. He hurriedly wiped away her tears.
"I thought you would be happy. It's my fault for not being able to find a better gift for you. Don't cry, okay?" Xiao Jingchen awkwardly coaxed Ye Ning. He was never a good talker; he could only silently do everything for Ye Ning.
Ye Ning cried uncontrollably, shaking her head repeatedly. She wanted to say that it wasn't that she disliked it, but that she was too moved, but she choked up and couldn't utter a word.
"Don't cry!" His warm fingers brushed across her cheek, wiping away the cold tears on her chin, his eyes gentle yet firm. "Whatever you like, I'll find it for you, I promise!"
Although I am ordinary, I am willing to give you my whole world.
"I really like it!" In the firelight, Ye Ning took the chocolate from his hand. Although ten years had passed, her appearance hadn't changed much, only her eyes...
She slowly unwrapped the wrapper, and the chocolate ball inside emitted a sweet aroma. Without hesitation, she broke the chocolate ball in half and held the other half to Xiao Jingchen's lips.
"No, this is a gift for you, and I don't like eating this stuff." Xiao Jingchen pushed the chocolate back, crossed his arms, and said arrogantly.
"Alright! Eat up!" Ye Ning knew he was reluctant and wanted to save all the chocolate for her, so she stuffed it into his mouth.
The sweet and silky flavor lingered on the tip of the tongue, but unfortunately it ended very quickly.
"Ye Ning, when the apocalypse ends, I'll definitely buy you lots of delicious food..." Xiao Jingchen said wistfully.
Unfortunately, she died before the apocalypse ended, leaving Xiao Jingchen alone in that world.
Returning to reality from her memories, Ye Ning picked up a box of chocolates from the shelf and took out one.
The familiar taste from my memory lingers on my tongue.
Ye Ning dialed that familiar overseas number, but unsurprisingly, she still couldn't get through.
Since her rebirth, she has been trying to contact Xiao Jingchen, but she has never been able to get through to him on the phone.
Ye Ning had asked her friends in Country A, but there was still no news. It was as if he had vanished into thin air. Where did he go? A sense of worry flashed through Ye Ning's mind.
Unbeknownst to Ye Ning, Xiao Jingchen had already returned to City A and was now watching her every move.
In a secret warehouse in City A, a handsome man with eyes like stars was polishing the crossbow bolts in his hand.
He wore a black trench coat, his profile was sharply defined like a marble sculpture, his hair was slightly curly, his skin was like white jade, his expression was indifferent, his eyes were cold, and he wore a brass amulet around his neck.
Xiao Jingchen, male, 24 years old, is the adopted son of the Ye family. His biological parents are unknown and his origins are mysterious. He is a top student at a famous university in Country A. In his previous life, he and Ye Ning depended on each other for ten years in the apocalypse and was Ye Ning's most loyal protector.
