"Ugh—!"
She suddenly opened her eyes and let out a muffled groan of discomfort.
"You're awake, wife?" The man's cool voice rang out on her.
Ning Yuan was taken aback, and then she saw the man on top of her slightly upturned thin lips: "If you're sleepy, keep sleeping. I can do it myself."
As he spoke, he unbuttoned the last button of her pajamas and lowered his head to kiss her soft neck.
"When did you arrive...? Let me catch my breath..." Ning Yuan choked, instinctively wanting to push him away.
"Wait...wait...I have to go back to school tomorrow...for an exam!"
"So the evening activities are being moved up to ensure you get enough sleep. I'll take you back to school tomorrow morning."
His cool voice was gentle, yet he kissed his little wife without restraint.
"Wait...wait...my older brother wants to see...see you..." Her voice was broken, and her eyes were red.
Ning Yuan's slender fingertips dug deep into the strong muscles of his shoulder.
Rong Zhaonan chuckled lightly, then lowered his head and unceremoniously bit her slender collarbone: "You rabbit spirit who isn't focused at all, you'll be eaten alive, not even bones will be left."
His young wife has recently gained some weight and is no longer as thin and bony as before.
Now when I pick her up, she's so soft and white, it's almost unbearable.
A few days ago, I don't know how I managed to resist visiting her.
He couldn't help but lower his head and kiss the girl's small mouth hard.
...
Ning Bingyu waited and waited in the conference room, and Rong Zhaonan finally arrived at nine o'clock.
Seeing his damp clothes, the ends of his hair glistening with moisture, and the lazy, satisfied aura emanating from him, Ning Bingyu's expression turned cold.
He crossed his legs and asked expressionlessly, "Anan, why are you so late?"
Rong Zhaonan casually said, "I was having dinner with Ning Yuan. She's a glutton, so the meal took a little longer than usual."
Ning Bingyu was in a bad mood, so he picked up his wine glass and took a sip.
As a man, he naturally knew what Rong Zhaonan's aura meant.
Moreover, Rong Zhaonan made no attempt to conceal the fact that he had just come out of Ning Yuan's room.
The mother had privately complained that she didn't understand Rong Zhaonan and that Ning Yuan had been wronged in her marriage. She was worried that if his mother found out that she was the one who had arranged this "good thing"...
Ning Bingyu decided to stop thinking about the issue; Rong Zhaonan wouldn't expose his own shortcomings.
He took another whiskey glass, poured a glass of whiskey, added ice, and pushed it in front of Rong Zhaonan: "Try the XO I brought from the Hong Kong government."
Rong Zhaonan took the cup and lazily took a sip: "Speak, what does Young Master Ning want with me?"
Ning Bingyu paused, then gave a self-deprecating smile: "It's because of the traitor in the family."
Rong Zhaonan paused in his cup-holding hand, then looked at him calmly and said, "Speak."
The matter that Ning Bingyu was able to talk to him about was most likely related to the problem with the last shipment from Malacca.
...
Ning Yuan had no idea what Rong Zhaonan and Ning Bingyu had discussed.
She was subjected to Rong Zhaonan's unbridled torment, then he took her to wash up, fed her a meal, and put her back on the bed.
A quarter past nine o'clock, she was so tired that she fell into a deep sleep.
Hmm... what a healthy and positive time to fall asleep.
Fortunately, that evening, the man kept his word and didn't bother her anymore.
She did indeed wake up early the next morning, around six o'clock when it was light, and she felt refreshed.
Rong Zhaonan also took her to school as agreed.
Even after getting out of the jeep at school, Ning Yuan couldn't help but glance at herself in the mirror again, surprised at how well she looked.
Early to bed and early to rise really does keep you healthy...
“This is the benefit of absorbing yang to replenish yin. I came to give you a tonic yesterday out of kindness. Do well on your exam.” Rong Zhaonan smiled at her calmly.
Ning Yuan blushed instantly, glared at him, turned around, tossed her two braids, and left.
What nonsense are you spouting with such a serious expression! It's hard to imagine him being so stern, aloof, and imposing decades later.
Rong Zhaonan chuckled softly and watched her enter the teaching building before leaving.
...
Ning Yuan took four days to finish all her final exams this time.
In the sweltering heat of June, Grandma Xia served her mung bean soup and waited for her to finish her exam and walk out of the classroom.
She looked at the car parked not far away and watched with heartache as she finished her soup: "You just finished the exam, and now you have to go back to the construction site to do hard labor?"
Grandpa Tang rolled his eyes at her: "What do you mean by going back to the construction site to do hard labor? You're clearly going to participate in a good reform and opening-up project that benefits the country and the people."
Grandma Xia rolled her eyes at him, touched Ning Yuan's chubby arms, and sighed, "Don't mind the old man, look how thin you've gotten."
Ning Yuan felt a little helpless yet amused, and hugged her grandmother, saying, "Thank you, Grandma and Grandpa, for making me delicious food every day."
Assistant Ye's car drove right up to her teaching building; it was too conspicuous, so she had to leave quickly.
After saying goodbye to the two elders, Ning Yuan got into a car and was taken directly to the construction site.
The person sent to pick her up was Ye's assistant, who said somewhat apologetically, "Ningning, I'm sorry, we've been having some communication difficulties with our colleagues on the mainland these past two days, so the assistant is a bit anxious."
Ning Yuan smiled and said, "It's alright."
She understands.
Upon arriving at the construction site, she and Aheng put on safety helmets and entered the building one after the other.
Suddenly, a foreman who knew Aheng said something to him, and Aheng paused for a moment before talking to the foreman.
Ning Yuan took a few more steps forward, about to go upstairs, when suddenly—
"Bang!" A strange sound rang out.
Ning Yuan immediately sensed something was wrong and subconsciously looked up, only to see a cement truck crashing down on her from the third floor!
In the instant she looked up, besides the cement truck crashing heavily onto her, she also saw Xiang Ziying's smiling face, full of provocation.
