The next morning, when Ding Haotian woke up, Zhao Mingyan had already prepared breakfast.
"Brother Ding, why don't you wash up and have breakfast? I made congee with preserved egg and lean pork and fried dough sticks. I learned this from Sister Enruo."
Since his divorce, he has never eaten breakfast at home. The words "Breakfast is ready" bring him a long-lost sense of happiness.
Ding Haotian hummed in agreement, then looked around Zhao Mingyan's house with his upper body exposed.
Her house was very large, with four bedrooms alone, and it seemed that there were two living rooms and dining rooms with a layout that she had never seen before.
Do all rich people live in houses like this nowadays?
"Mingyan, your house is so big. This is the first time I've ever seen a house with such a layout."
Zhao Mingyan, wearing an apron, poked her head out of the kitchen and said with a grin:
"Brother Ding, I'm sorry you had to see this."
This house was originally divided into two units, but I felt that the layout of one unit was too small, so I simply bought both units and combined them together to live in.
That's why it looks a bit strange to you.
"You're really rich!"
Ding Haotian scratched his head.
After breakfast, Zhao Mingyan took two handbags out of the closet.
"Brother Ding, these are the clothes I bought for you. I bought them a long time ago, but I was too embarrassed to give them to you."
Do you know what size I wear?
Ding Haotian took it in disbelief.
"We run a dry cleaning company, and we can tell the size of any garment just by touching it."
You forgot that I sewed shirts for you in the office? I can tell your waist size just by looking at you.
Go try it on, I guarantee it'll fit.
Ding Haotian came out wearing new clothes, and as Zhao Mingyan had said, they fit his figure perfectly.
Moreover, the material of this sweater is indeed extraordinary; it's soft and comfortable to wear.
The pants are made of high-quality material, and the drape is simply amazing, making them look very upright.
Unlike the sweaters and pants I used to wear, the stiff wool felt itchy all over my body.
"Mingyan, the clothes you bought are really nice, they're so comfortable to wear."
"And leather shoes, try them on. I bought them a while ago and they've been sitting at home."
Ding Haotian was startled when he saw the leather shoes Zhao Mingyan took out.
She was so thoughtful in her shopping, even buying leather shoes.
Upon opening the shoebox, a pair of brand-new black leather shoes gleamed.
I put them on my feet. Hey! The leather is so soft!
Paired with trousers, she looks like someone from a magazine.
"Mingyan, I feel embarrassed because you bought me so much. I didn't buy you anything."
Ding Haotian looked at himself in the mirror, dressed impeccably. He had never worn such nice clothes before.
Even at their wedding, there wasn't one.
The better it looked, the more upset he felt; he hadn't even had time to buy Zhao Mingyan a silk scarf.
Zhao Mingyan hugged him and said:
"You're not allowed to say that. From today onwards, you're my man, so of course I'll buy you the best."
From now on, you will no longer be unwanted, and neither will I.
Didn't we agree yesterday that we'd walk hand in hand for a lifetime?
"We'll bring Mom and son over in a while, and the four of us can live together, okay, Brother Ding?"
Ding Haotian put his arm around Zhao Mingyan's waist and kissed her.
Her words truly warmed my heart; she didn't despise her mother and son and was willing to live with them.
Ding Haotian's eyes welled up with tears.
"Fine! You're still calling me Brother Ding? What kind of boyfriend and girlfriend call each other 'brother'? It sounds like gangsters!"
Zhao Mingyan laughed out loud.
"It seems there isn't one. So what should my name be?"
"Call me Haotian! Call me Haotian!"
Ding Haotian put his arm around her and said:
"Haotian!"
Zhao Mingyan said shyly, lying on his chest.
The two took the clean clothes back to the regimental headquarters, and Zhao Mingyan left Ding Haotian behind and rushed back to the company.
Ding Haotian directed the young soldiers to distribute the cleaned clothes.
This was the first time in so many years that the young soldiers had seen Deputy Chief of Staff Ding not in his military uniform, but in such fine civilian clothes; he looked incredibly spirited.
The black leather shoes gleamed in the sunlight.
Ding Haotian entered the office building and ran into Gu Shaoxuan in the hallway before even opening his own office door.
When Gu Shaoxuan got home yesterday, his wife told him that Zhao Mingyan had taken the drunk Lao Ding home.
I didn't expect this kid to be so efficient; he got right to work.
I had just told him I was going to treat the girl to dinner, and now I'm already spending the night at her house.
Today I saw this new outfit from head to toe.
Old Ding had never dressed like this before his divorce, and sure enough, the two of them made new progress.
Gu Shaoxuan smiled meaningfully and called out to him:
"Don't rush inside, come sit in my office."
Upon hearing this, Ding Haotian put away his keys and followed him over.
Gu Shaoxuan poured him a cup of tea and tossed him a cigarette.
The two started smoking.
Look at this kid today, he's got a shiny face and looks much more energetic.
"Tell me, where did you stay yesterday instead of going back to the regiment?"
Ding Haotian took a drag of his cigarette, exhaled a smoke ring, and replied slowly:
"I ran some errands and it got late, so I stayed at a relative's house."
"Bullshit! I know you too well. When have you ever mentioned having relatives in Yongning City?"
You must have been running errands at that girl's house until late and were too tired to come back!
I heard about your little tricks from my wife last night.
You're still playing games with me here.
Ding Haotian realized he couldn't hide it anymore and chuckled.
"Old Gu, you and your wife clearly know that Mingyan is interested in me."
