Chapter 363: The Huanghuali Table Has a Hidden Compartment



Jiang Yue's eyes lit up, and without caring that Zhao Cui was still there, she jumped up and ran to the yard.

"Gu Ye!"

As soon as he saw the familiar tall army green figure, Jiang Yue rushed over excitedly.

When Gu Ye saw Jiang Yue, his eyes were also burning. He put Ning Ning down and opened his arms towards Jiang Yue. Jiang Yue threw herself into the warm and strong arms that she had been longing for.

"I miss you so much!" Jiang Yue deeply sniffed the unique scent of cedar and bamboo on Gu Ye, mixed with the strong scent of male hormones, and felt her heart swollen, full, and with an incomparable sweet feeling.

"I miss you, too!" Gu Ye hugged Jiang Yue and lifted up her little face. His dark eyes were filled with undisguised longing. His hot breath came to her face, and he leaned over to kiss Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue's heart was on Gu Ye at this moment. They hadn't seen each other for more than half a month, and she missed him so much that she completely forgot that there were other people in the room, and she raised her head to kiss Gu Ye's lips.

“Cough cough cough…”

Suddenly, a rapid cough was heard, and their lips touched. Gu Ye paused, and Jiang Yue came back to her senses and quickly pushed Gu Ye away, "Oh no, I forgot about Zhao Cui!"

Zhao Cui is a girl and not yet an adult, and she is not like Ningning who is an ignorant kid. It is inappropriate for the two of them to kiss in front of Zhao Cui!

Jiang Yue turned her head and saw Zhao Cui with her back to her, her ears red, and her whole body exuding extreme embarrassment and awkwardness.

"Zhao Cui!" Jiang Yue was a little embarrassed. She called out and said, "It's okay. You can turn around now!"

Zhao Cui turned around after a while. Gu Ye went to the corner to put down his backpack. At this time, he was far away from Jiang Yue. Zhao Cui put the test paper into her bag, lowered her head and hurried out.

"Goodbye Uncle Gu! Goodbye Sister Jiang Yue!"

When passing by Gu Ye and Jiang Yue, Zhao Cui greeted them without stopping.

Gu Ye frowned, "Call me auntie!"

They all called him uncle and Jiang Yue sister, making it seem like he and Jiang Yue were of different generations.

"I can't call out. Bye!" Zhao Cui ran away with her schoolbag.

"Why is Zhao Cui here?" Gu Ye looked up and made sure that there was no outsider at home. Then he hugged Jiang Yue and kissed her pink lips first.

"She said - um!" Jiang Yue was about to talk about Zhao Cui when her lips were blocked and the kiss was interrupted. How could Gu Ye bear it anymore? He kissed her enough first.

When the domineering and long kiss ended, their breath blended, their eyes were entangled, and there was a thin layer of sweat on their foreheads.

"Go on!" Gu Ye felt hot inside and he really wanted to carry Jiang Yue into the room right now, but it was not dark yet and they hadn't had dinner yet. Ningning was still running around and he didn't know if anyone would come over in a while. Forget it, he decided to endure it and wait until night when no one would disturb them before being gentle with her.

Jiang Yue told her that Zhao Cui had just come over and said that she didn't want to study anymore and wanted to work in her store.

"What did you tell her?" In fact, Gu Ye had already guessed that Jiang Yue would definitely not agree to Zhao Cui dropping out of school, but he wanted to listen to Jiang Yue, so he squatted down to organize the items in the backpack while looking at Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue also squatted beside Gu Ye, watching him take out the military blanket and other things from the backpack, and then talked about how he persuaded Zhao Cui to continue studying and asked Zhao Cui to come for tutoring after school in the afternoon.

"Will this make you tired?" Gu Ye knew that Jiang Yue had been very busy recently. He had to open a shop, keep an eye on the factory, and run around the shops in the city and the provincial capital. If he helped Zhao Cui with her homework—

Tutoring sounds like a simple thing, but it requires thinking and is no easier than working.

"I'll tell her the method and teach her how to study. It won't be tiring!" Jiang Yue has a lot of experience in learning. Even though she has graduated from college for several years, she is still more than capable of teaching a junior high school student.

After she finished speaking, seeing that Gu Ye didn't respond, she looked up, only to see Gu Ye staring deeply at her.

Jiang Yue touched his face and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Gu Ye chuckled, "Because you are beautiful!"

Jiang Yue was about to grin when Gu Ye leaned over and gave her a gentle kiss. Jiang Yue closed her eyes and responded to his kiss.

The aroma of food wafted out, and the two separated reluctantly. Jiang Yue's lips were red, and her watery almond eyes were full of affection.

"I'm going to cook!"

Gu Ye took out everything in his backpack. Jiang Yue was cooking, so he went in to help.

"You'd better go out. I'll just cook two more dishes. We don't know when we can have dinner if you stay here!" Jiang Yue pushed Gu Ye away breathlessly. He said he would help her, but as soon as he came in, he hugged her waist and kissed her. She had no resistance to him and almost burned the dishes just now.

"Kiss me again!" Gu Ye hooked Jiang Yue's chin and kissed her several more times before letting her go. "I'm going to fix the table!"

"Go, go!" Jiang Yue covered her mouth and waved her hands quickly.

If Gu Ye doesn't go out, they will only be able to eat white rice at night.

The table that Gu Ye wanted to repair was made of Huanghuali wood and was bought by Jiang Yue from a scrap collector a few months ago. The table was an antique from the Ming and Qing dynasties, but it only had three legs.

Previously, Gu Ye said he would find suitable legs to install the table, but then he went on a mission and was away for several months. Later, the two had a conflict and Jiang Yue ran away from home again. The table has been placed in the corner ever since and was almost forgotten by Jiang Yue.

A while ago, Gu Ye said that he found a piece of Huanghuali wood and asked a carpenter to make it according to the size of the table legs, but he didn't have time to install it.

Jiang Yue had cooked the dishes and the rice was ready. She brought the dishes to the table in the main room. There were braised pork, vegetable and meatball soup, scrambled eggs with garlic sprouts, stir-fried pork slices with chili peppers, and a dish of stir-fried broccoli. There were four dishes and one soup. This was because Gu Ye had returned, so Jiang Yue put a generous portion of each dish. Usually, she and Ningning ate together, so she only cooked half the portion.

"Gu Ye, eat first, otherwise the food will get cold!" Jiang Yue set the table and saw Ning Ning squatting in the yard watching Gu Ye fix the table, so she went over to call the father and daughter back to eat.

"Jiang Yue, come here!" Gu Ye called Jiang Yue over at this time, and his tone sounded a little strange.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yue thought Gu Ye had encountered some problems while repairing the table, so she took off her apron and walked over.

"Reach your hand over here and feel around. Is there a secret compartment?" Gu Ye asked Jiang Yue to reach under the table. "The sound is not right. Feel around inside and see if you can find anything."

Gu Ye discovered the secret compartment in the table when he was installing the table legs, but his hands were too big to reach in.

"It seems like there is something slippery. Wow, it's so heavy!" Jiang Yue touched something slippery in the secret compartment. She was startled and subconsciously wanted to retract her hand, but then she thought something was wrong. She reached in again with her half-retracted hand and took out the thing she had just touched.

"What is this?" Ningning saw the yellow thing that Jiang Yue placed on the table and poked it with her hand curiously.

At this moment, Jiang Yue and Gu Ye's eyes were shocked. They looked at each other quickly, and then lowered their heads to look at the things on the table at the same time.

"Is this, gold?"
