Ou Minglang glanced at Rong Zhaonan, curled his lips, and turned around with an arrogant expression to follow his family who had come to take him away.
Rong Zhaonan's eyes turned cold. Was this kid's expression a provocation?
Zheng Baoguo was signing the statement when he saw that the students who had opposed him had all left, while he and a group of his men were sentenced to detention.
"Why should I?!" he cried, his liver trembling with anger.
Just then, Zheng Baoguo saw Ning Yuan pass by. Not noticing that Rong Zhaonan's hand was still on her waist, he growled fiercely at Ning Yuan—
"Ugly woman, you got me detained for five days. Just wait until I get out, we'll see!"
Suddenly, a large hand grabbed him by the collar, lifted him up, and threw him against the wall with a thud.
Rong Zhaonan looked at Zheng Baoguo, who was wincing in pain, grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up: "You'll see what happens to you then?"
"You...you're a policeman...you can't hit people!" Zheng Baoguo's head and back were throbbing with pain.
The suffocating feeling of having his neck gripped by someone, and his inability to struggle, made him struggle desperately.
The surrounding police officers seemed oblivious to what was happening, each going about their own business.
Rong Zhaonan coldly glanced at the insect-like creature in front of him: "You should be glad I'm wearing a police uniform."
Zheng Baoguo's henchmen trembled with fear, but dared not utter a sound.
Seeing that Zheng Baoguo was rolling his eyes and almost choking her to death, Ning Yuan tugged at Rong Zhaonan's arm: "Forget it, why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? Let's go."
We can't just kill Zheng Baoguo in public.
Rong Zhaonan then released his grip, coldly glancing at Zheng Baoguo, who was slumped on the ground, his pants soaked with fear: "Next time, don't let me see you again."
Only then did he leave with Ning Yuan.
Chen Chen glanced at Zheng Baoguo and the others, and sneered: "These little bastards, it's really an honor for you to have the captain take action."
The captain dealt with these few as easily as using a cannon to kill mosquitoes.
After the group left, Zheng Baoguo finally caught his breath and coughed violently, gasping for air: "Cough cough cough..."
Damn it, that policeman looks like a sissy, but when he makes a move, he's like a perverted murderer!
I've never seen a policeman like this before, he's terrifying!
Meanwhile, after seeing Ning Yuan and Rong Zhaonan home, Chen Chen still wanted to go in for a meal: "I haven't seen Ah Hei and Ah Bai in so long, it smells so good, is it fried fish? And I think there's also pig's feet... Sister-in-law, I want to eat fried fish... pig's feet..."
"No, you don't want to eat." Old Xu swiftly covered Chen Chen's mouth and forcibly dragged him away.
That blind light bulb!
Ning Yuan found it rather amusing to watch Chen Chen being dragged away by Lao Xu, his face full of resentment.
She turned her face away and coughed lightly: "Well... let's go, let's go wash our hands and eat."
Grandpa Tang and Grandma Xia had already prepared the meal. Seeing them return, Grandpa Tang finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Are you alright, girl? You scared us to death!"
Nan Xiaozi sent someone back to report that the little girl was being blackmailed by bad kids at school and even got into a fight, ending up in the police station!
Ning Yuan patted the heads of Ah Bai and Ah Hei, who were rubbing against her, and gave Old Tang a sweet smile: "I'm sorry to have worried you, I'm fine."
Afraid that her parents would worry, she took out the test paper from her schoolbag: "Our mock exam results came out today. I did a little worse this time, 3.7 points lower than the top student in the grade."
As expected, Grandpa Tang's attention was diverted. He sat down at the table, picked up the test paper, looked at it, and frowned: "You've been careless! You haven't been feeling well this month, girl!"
Ning Yuan nodded obediently: "Yes, carelessness means that knowledge is not firmly grasped."
"I've been adding an extra set of practice papers every night recently. Any objections?" Old Tang put down the papers.
Ning Yuan glanced at Rong Zhaonan and shook her head: "No objection!"
She was truly grateful to him; thanks to his sudden insistence on being her man, she was feeling quite drained!
Thank you for granting her the honor of working on exam papers every night for a month!
Rong Zhaonan held his bowl and ate quietly, ignoring Ning Yuan's resentment.
until……
His chopsticks reached for the fried fish on the plate, but Grandma Xia took the piece of fried fish away.
He planned to change the fish-frying clip, and Grandma Xia moved the plate of fried fish to a different place.
Rong Zhaonan held the empty chopsticks: "..."
Never mind, he went to pick up the braised pork trotters with sweet and sour peanuts from another bowl.
He loves this dish. The pig's trotters are braised in a rich, dark sauce until tender and flavorful, with a deep red color. They are fatty but not greasy, and melt in your mouth. It's one of Mr. Tang's favorite dishes.
There were four large pig's trotters in the bowl, just enough for one person, but...
Before Rong Zhaonan could even put down his chopsticks, Grandma Xia took the bowl away with it, put a piece in Old Tang's bowl, one in her own bowl, and two in Ning Yuan's bowl.
Rong Zhaonan: "..."
This meal is inedible.
"You still want to eat pig's trotters? Fried fish? Xiao Ning's grades have dropped, and you can still eat? Don't you have a heart?!" Grandma Xia tapped her bowl with her chopsticks and glared at Rong Zhaonan.
She acted like a biased and wicked mother-in-law scolding her daughter-in-law for not serving her son who was preparing to go to the capital for the imperial examination.
Yes, Rong Zhaonan is the daughter-in-law, and Ning Yuan is the son.
Rong Zhaonan: "..."
Ning Yuan's shoulders twitched as she tried to suppress her laughter. She held the bowl and gnawed on his pig's trotter while giving him a mischievous smile and raising her eyebrows.
You deserve it! You deserve it!
Rong Zhaonan narrowed his eyes and silently picked up the pork cracklings to stir-fry with vegetables.
The old woman did not stop her.
Just as he was picking up some vegetables, Old Tang suddenly said, "I think you've been eating too much oily food lately, Xiao Nan. You should stop eating fried pork fat and eat more vegetables. It's good for your health to eat less oily food."
Rong Zhaonan: "..."
They weren't even their biological children, yet they're being treated like this—Ning Yuan is their biological child, but he's being raised by his stepmother.
But what could he say? Grandma Xia had already given him a sharp, menacing suggestion.
During this meal, Captain Rong ate a lot of vegetables, something he hadn't done in a long time.
Yes, that's good, it helps to cultivate one's character.
Eating meat can easily make you restless... especially in spring when everything comes back to life and it's mating season for animals.
...
After the meal, Rong Zhaonan went out again, and Ning Yuan breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Rong Zhaonan has been appearing and disappearing mysteriously lately, leaving early and returning late, and sometimes vanishing in the middle of the night. Nobody knows where he's going.
But she felt uncomfortable whenever he was around.
He always had a way of distracting her and making it impossible for her to concentrate on her studies.
Now that no one was around, Ning Yuan quickly buried herself in her homework and worksheets.
When she finally stretched and looked up from her book, she saw an enamel cup placed in front of her, emitting a rich fragrance.
The familiar smell startled Ning Yuan: "This is... coffee?"
She looked at the tall figure standing to one side.
Rong Zhaonan had returned sometime earlier, and he had even taken a shower. He was wearing a white shirt and blue police trousers, with the sleeves loosely rolled up on his forearms.
His bangs and the ends of his hair were damp, and the warm yellow light made his sharp and aloof features appear much softer and gentler.
Rong Zhaonan smiled faintly: "Try it. It was a gift from someone; it can refresh you."
He placed a small plate of snacks on the rim of the enamel mug.
Looking at his long, slender, and fair fingers, Ning Yuan suddenly understood a line of poetry—
"A beautiful woman adds fragrance to the night as I read."
