Ning Yuan smiled and said, "I understand, Auntie. Let's have breakfast."
Aunt Qian looked at her and asked cautiously, "You two didn't have a fight, did you? I told that guy off last night. Those blockheads who've been in the army for so long sometimes just don't understand their partners' feelings!"
Ning Yuan nodded and smiled: "We didn't quarrel."
As she spoke, she lowered her head and ate her food.
Aunt Qian didn't know what to say, so she just waited for Aheng to finish exercising before having breakfast with him. The two of them started planning how to take Ningyuan out to play.
The atmosphere improved considerably after that.
“I have a jeep here, let’s go, I’ll take you sightseeing. Shall we go to the Forbidden City? Or the Summer Palace? Badachu Park? Jingshan Park?” After breakfast, Aheng excitedly waved the keys in his hand.
Having a car makes it convenient to go anywhere!
Ning Yuan thought for a moment and said, "You can arrange it. I don't know how far it is, but I need to call Yan Yangyang's family first. She asked me to bring some things home."
She's bored staying in the house alone, so she might as well go out for a stroll and check out the market.
Although the most beautiful big monkey was annoyed that her family wouldn't let her join the army, she actually missed them very much.
“Okay, you make the call first! I’ll go get ready and fill up the car with gas!” Ah Heng nodded.
After finishing her phone call, Ning Yuan picked up the things Yan Yangyang had prepared and the gifts she had given to Yan Yangyang's family and got into Aheng's car.
Yan Yangyang's home is also in a compound, but it's a bit far from the Rong and Chen families' compounds; it belongs to the old Air Force compound.
The two timed their journey and drove for more than half an hour before arriving at their destination.
As usual, Aheng showed his work ID, and Ningyuan showed her student ID and letter of introduction to register. After passing through several guard posts, they were finally allowed to enter.
The Yan family had already received the call and knew it was their beloved daughter's good friend visiting, so they warmly welcomed her.
Yan's parents are from Northeast China, and his two older brothers had just returned from their military leave. The whole family was very generous.
The whole family was very happy to learn that their daughter and the young girl in front of them were working together to respond to the call and put reform and opening-up into practice.
Becoming a self-employed individual may sound like a waste of time, but it's still better than having your only precious daughter wanting to shave her head and become a tomboy to join the army!
Girls should look like this curly-haired girl in front of you—sweet, soft, and like a pretty, stylish doll.
Ning Yuan and A Heng were forced to stay for lunch and had a big meal, eating and taking things until the afternoon before they were released.
Aheng took Ningyuan to the Forbidden City again, and then in the evening they wandered around the hutongs eating snacks.
Two days in a row were incredibly fulfilling, filled with eating and playing. When I got home, I was so tired that I collapsed into bed and fell asleep immediately.
Ning Yuan almost forgot the unpleasantness of arriving in the capital and stopped thinking about Rong Zhaonan and his family's mess. She felt much more relaxed.
Aheng took Ningyuan to a well-known state-owned restaurant to eat Beijing cuisine, which also sold various snacks.
After Ning Yuan finished eating, the owner saw that she had curly hair, looked cute, and was wearing a pinafore dress. He assumed she was underage and forced her to eat a string of candied hawthorns.
Ning Yuan was in a good mood, munching on candied hawthorns and drinking fermented rice wine. A little bit of alcohol made her feel tipsy.
Looking at the night view of the capital, she couldn't help but mutter to herself—
"Hmph, men are only useful in bed, what good are they otherwise? I don't want to be his mother or savior... I'm lucky if I can save myself in this life!"
Ah Heng wanted to laugh when she heard this, but then she suddenly remembered that night with Wei Heng. Her lower abdomen went weak, and she couldn't help but stare blankly, blushing.
It took her a while to come to her senses. She muttered to herself as she helped Ning Yuan into the car, "You've really drunk too much. You're the first person to get drunk on just a little bit of fermented rice."
She knew Ning Yuan couldn't hold her liquor, or that alcohol made her drunk easily, but she didn't expect Ning Yuan to get drunk so easily.
Ning Yuan was much better off this time than when she was forced to drink alcohol by human traffickers in the county town. She just smiled at Aheng and said, "I'm fine, just a little dizzy. I can walk."
As she spoke, she climbed into the passenger seat herself.
Ah Heng affectionately rubbed her round little face and helped her fasten her seatbelt: "Alright, let's go back."
Ah Heng turned around, preparing to get into the driver's seat, but suddenly turned back sharply, put his hands on his waist, and looked coldly in one direction.
Sure enough, she saw Xiang San wa beckoning to her with a half-smile. There were several young men beside him who looked like his friends.
They also appeared to have come out of a private room at the restaurant.
Xiang San lazily raised an eyebrow at A Heng: "What a coincidence, you guys are eating here too."
Ah Heng narrowed his eyes dangerously, quickly assessing the threat and combat strength of Xiang San's side.
Ah Heng chuckled and looked at him calmly: "Xiang San, you got out of prison pretty quickly, huh? Truly, a scourge lives on for a thousand years."
Those guys around Xiang San are obviously his cronies, not martial arts experts. She could easily beat them all down.
His fists were itching to punch, and his eyes swept around, checking how many people were there. If there weren't many...
I'll go up there and give them a beating they'll never forget.
Xiang San didn't come over, but just smiled and raised his eyebrows: "Tsk tsk, why are you so fierce? It's fate that we met. I didn't commit a crime, I just came back to assist in the investigation. I was just released today, and it's such a coincidence that I ran into you and Advisor Ning."
As he spoke, his gaze swept over Ning Yuan, who was sitting in the passenger seat: "Consultant Ning, what's wrong with you? Are you drunk? I remember that our Fan Family Courtyard only sells homemade rice wine and fermented glutinous rice, both of which have an alcohol content as low as sweet water."
Ah Heng said irritably, "None of your business. If you don't want to get beaten up, get lost. You know I never talk back when I can fight!"
Xiang San chuckled, seemingly finding Ning Yuan's drunkenness rather boring. He turned and waved his hand, "Aheng, you're still as rude as ever. Ask Consultant Ning if she likes the gift we gave her from Beijing."
He paused, then turned and shrugged: "Ah, never mind, we'll see each other again soon. I'll ask her myself, hahaha..."
With that, he got on his friend's trailer motorcycle, and the group of them rode off the street laughing and joking.
Ah Heng cursed inwardly, "What bad luck! I actually ran into that Xiang San!"
She glanced at the car, but Ning Yuan was leaning against the window, her large, clear eyes fixed on the direction Xiang San had left in.
Ah Heng was startled: "Xiao Ning, you're not drunk?"
He thought Ning Yuan was so drunk she couldn't even open her eyes.
Ning Yuan closed her eyes again, her gaze fixed on the ground: "...Go home."
Ah Heng didn't dare to delay and immediately drove home, as she didn't want to run into the Xiang family again.
I thought Xiang San was still locked up, so I took Ning Yuan out for a stroll by myself.
But now that treacherous Xiang San has actually shown up. Two fists can't fight four hands. Next time, she'll have to call a couple more brothers from the team out!
...
"What, is that drunk southern girl in the passenger seat the same one who got us arrested?" the young man on the motorcycle said with a grin.
"Yes, that's Rong Zhaonan's new woman," Xiang Ziying said lazily.
"Tsk, that southern girl looks delicate and petite, with eyes as beautiful as a porcelain doll's. That Rong guy fights so fiercely, he'll probably make her suffer!"
Some people were making vulgar jokes.
Xiang Ziying scoffed: "Who knows? It's a fake, so you won't feel bad using it."
