"Nian Nian, you didn't have breakfast, you must be starving, right? I just went to the restaurant and ordered a few dishes. Let's have a simple lunch. I'll make whatever you want for dinner."
Shi Nian hurried down the stairs and said, "Your arm is injured. I'll cook dinner tonight."
Her stomach rumbled, she coughed lightly, picked up her chopsticks, and ate in silence.
When she was almost done with lunch, she belatedly realized that Feng Sihan seemed to have said these things because of a misunderstanding.
Did he think she was avoiding him, so she didn't come out?
Shi Nian bit the end of her chopsticks lightly, and waited until Feng Sihan put down his chopsticks before she spoke, "Sihan, I didn't come out because I stayed up late last night. I just woke up when you knocked on the door."
Feng Sihan responded, but Shi Nian was distracted and didn't know whether he believed it or not.
The buzzing of her cell phone brought her back to reality.
Feng Sihan's gaze fell on Shi Nian's mobile phone screen, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
"Si Han, Senior called me, are they back?"
If Fang Ning and the others came back, Feng Sihan would be the first to receive the message from Han Ye.
Han Ye didn't send him any message, obviously they were still in other provinces.
He said in a normal tone, "You answer it."
Shi Nian didn't want Feng Sihan to misunderstand, so she answered the phone and turned on the speaker.
Fang Ning's voice came out, "Niannian, Xinyue can't go back until the day after tomorrow. She's scared, and I want to spend more time with her. My store is closed for the next few days, so just take a long vacation and rest. If a customer contacts me for home cleaning, please go there for me."
"no problem."
"I have something else to do, so I'll hang up now."
"Oh, okay."
As soon as Shi Nian finished speaking, the call ended.
Fang Ning's words were all about Zhao Xinyue, and Shi Nian's previous suspicion of him faded a little.
The senior is always gentlemanly and polite to everyone. Even after he broke up with his ex-girlfriend, he is still so nice to her. There must be nothing wrong with his character.
At the police station, perhaps she was nervous and thought too much.
Shi Nian raised her eyes, met Feng Sihan's gaze, and shrugged at him, "Sihan, you heard it all, I'm going to have another day off."
"Good vacation."
Shi Nian held up her chin and said, "It's a pity that you don't have any vacation, otherwise we could go traveling together again. This birthday trip was delayed because of Zhao Xinyue's matter, and you were injured."
Feng Sihan thought of the honeymoon she mentioned at Shi Wei's house and looked at her seriously, "Niannian, when my current mission is over, I will ask my superiors for a long vacation to make up for our honeymoon."
Shi Nian's cheeks felt hot, and she didn't know why he suddenly brought this up.
She thought of the money Feng Sihan gave to Wang Fan, and the smile on her lips faded a little.
Shi Nian counted his existing assets, and all added together, there was barely two hundred thousand.
Of the 200,000 yuan, the bulk of it came from the balance paid to Jiang Wan for her designs from the sale of her works.
After what happened to Zhao Xinyue, Fang Ning's store was temporarily closed. She was idle at home, without any salary, and could only wait for him to assign her work.
She sighed softly and prayed that her next design would still sell for a good price.
She must return the money to Feng Sihan as soon as possible.
"Sihan, I'm going back to my room to do the design."
"OK."
Shi Nian didn't expect that the door-to-door cleaning job would come so quickly.
She put down the half-finished design, changed into going-out clothes, and came out of the bedroom.
Feng Sihan was no longer in the living room. Shi Nian heard his voice coming from the bedroom and gently knocked on the door.
The sound stopped abruptly, and a few seconds later, the door was opened from the inside.
Feng Sihan put down the phone he was on, and said, "Niannian, what's wrong?"
"An old customer of our store contacted me and needs to come to give his dog a bath. I have to go out for a while and will probably be back before dinner."
Shi Nian glanced at the time and said hurriedly, "Don't prepare dinner. I'll come back to buy some vegetables and meat rolls. We'll have hot pot tonight."
"OK."
Feng Sihan saw her off to the door when he saw her off in a hurry. "Niannian, do you need me to take you there?"
Shi Nian noticed that he was on the phone and waved her hand to stop him from going forward. "I'm fine on my own. My feet don't hurt anymore and I can walk normally. You go do your thing. Bye."
She held down Feng Sihan's hand, waved at him twice, closed the door, and walked slowly downstairs.
The electric bike has not been ridden for more than a week and is out of battery.
Shi Nian got a taxi and went to the pet grooming shop first.
She picked up her tools and took another bus to the address Fang Ning had sent her.
Shi Nian knocked on the door, and soon a female voice was heard.
After a few seconds, the door opened.
The young woman glanced at her from head to toe. "Are you the female employee named Shi Nian?"
"Yes, our boss is busy, so he asked me to come over."
"Come in."
Shi Nian followed the woman into the room, walked all the way to the balcony, and saw Teddy locked in a cage.
"Give it a bath and trim its fur."
"OK."
The woman stayed for a moment, told Shi Nian where the bathroom was, and then left the balcony.
Shi Nian let Teddy out, calmed it down, and carried it to the bathroom.
Teddy is very well behaved and doesn't make any noise or trouble.
Shi Nian wanted to go home as soon as possible and gave Teddy a bath skillfully.
She was concentrating on the work at hand when she suddenly heard a violent argument breaking out from the direction of the bedroom.
"Mr. Zhang, we're getting married next week, and you dare to cheat on me!"
"Can you please keep your voice down? There are outsiders here with us, why are you yelling?"
"You know how to save face now, but what were you doing before? Why are you covering your phone? I'm talking to you, but you're still chatting with your mistress!"
"Li Yuanyuan, what on earth do you want to do? Give me back my phone!"
"You dare to hit me... Zhang Liming, you actually dare to hit me just for that wild vixen outside!"
The quarrel became louder and louder, and Teddy seemed frightened and kept shaking.
Shi Nian sighed and closed the bathroom door, hoping that the two would end their argument as soon as possible.
She rubbed Teddy's head and asked softly, "Is the sound much quieter now? Don't be afraid..."
Before Shi Nian finished speaking, the bathroom door was suddenly and violently opened by someone from outside.
An angry man rushed in, walked up to her, grabbed Teddy by the scruff of the neck, turned around and walked out.
Shi Nian was startled and frowned, asking, "Hey, what are you doing? I haven't finished washing yet!"
Zhang Liming ignored her and threw the dog to Li Yuanyuan. "We can break up, but I don't want this dog. Take it with you, pack your luggage, and get out of my house!"
"I paid the down payment for this house, so you should leave! You said you wanted to keep a dog, and even though I was mentally weak and couldn't sleep well, I still kept it at home because I loved you! Zhang Liming, I put up with it and you for so long! Now it's like a joke!"
Zhang Liming kicked Teddy, venting his anger on it.
Shi Nian frowned, and before she could open her mouth, he scolded her, "What are you looking at? I don't need you to wash the dog anymore, get out of here!"
