He turned his head slightly, the brim of his hat casting a shadow on his handsome face, obscuring his expression: "I accidentally got some red paint on someone else's house."
Ning Yuan was a little puzzled. She moved closer to him, wanting to take a closer look under the dim light: "Paint? It doesn't look like it. I'll go back and wash it for you. If it really is paint, it seems like you can only remove it with machine oil..."
Rong Zhaonan froze for a moment as he watched her warm head nestle into his arms.
"Brother, sister-in-law... can you go back and be all lovey-dovey again? I'm so hungry." Chen Chen's weak voice suddenly rang out.
Chen Chen stared at them longingly. He wanted to eat, not know how the captain's clothes were made.
Ning Yuan immediately jumped out of Rong Zhaonan's arms, and laughed awkwardly: "This isn't called being lovey-dovey, it's just... saying hello!"
She coughed lightly: "Cough, let's go to the county guesthouse, I have a lot to tell you!"
After saying that, she turned and strode towards the guesthouse.
Rong Zhaonan glanced at Chen Chen leisurely. For some reason, Chen Chen felt a chill run down his spine and chuckled dryly, "Brother Nan, I'll clear the way for you, I'll clear the way for you!"
They even started speaking Japanese.
After saying that, Chen Chen pushed his old bicycle and quickly made his way away.
Rong Zhaonan's cold and gloomy gaze fell on the few dark red drops on his sleeve. Tsk, he actually dirtied his new clothes. He hadn't had new clothes in a long time.
He had just returned to work, and this was the first new set of clothes he had worn in several years.
Then, when he looked up again, he regained his usual calm and composed expression and followed.
...
The county guesthouse was the only place that still had food at this time.
Because no one knows where the leaders will come from, whether they will be holding meetings until late or have other plans, there are always chefs and waiters on night shifts.
Zhang Lao Er was staying at the guesthouse. When he saw Ning Yuan return with her entourage, he didn't ask for a letter of introduction, only accepted the grain coupons, and then happily arranged a table for them.
The head chef also recognized Ning Yuan. Every time this young girl came, she would bring the head chef and the waiters small gifts such as cellophane-wrapped fruit candies or country oranges.
Ning Yuan has a sweet tongue and a charming appearance, making her very popular.
Hearing that she had brought her boyfriend to dinner, the head chef smiled and cooked four dishes and a soup for her, Rong Zhaonan, and Chen Chen: "Here, there are also some mountain products that your boyfriend picked. Come on, try my cooking."
Ning Yuan smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Master Liu!"
Chen Chen looked at the table laden with fragrant, pan-fried mandarin fish, stir-fried pheasant with Sichuan peppercorns, and a variety of fish and shrimp...
His eyes lit up, and without caring about anything else, he picked up the bowl and unceremoniously grabbed a spicy stir-fried pheasant leg and started eating it: "Thank you, Master!"
Master Liu patted Chen Chen's muscular shoulder enviously: "Good lad, it's rare to grow so big these days, no wonder you can hunt so many mountain products!"
Another waitress brought over rice and said with a smile, "You're so lucky to have married such a hardworking girl like Xiao Ning. Your future children will definitely be healthy and easy to raise!"
Rong Zhaonan's refined hand, which was picking up food with his chopsticks, paused: "..."
"Cough cough cough..." Big Chen Chen choked, the chicken was stuck in his trachea.
Mr. Liu was stunned and quickly patted his chest: "Xiaoyuan, quickly get your boyfriend a glass of water."
Ning Yuan quickly poured water and handed it over somewhat awkwardly: "He's not me..."
"Let me do it." Rong Zhaonan took the water glass from her hand and calmly placed it in Chen Chen's hand: "Need any help?"
"No—no—" Chen Chen blushed and shook his head vigorously, but Rong Zhaonan's hand had already pressed decisively on his xiphoid process, and with some unknown technique, he suddenly slapped him.
Chen Chen's body jerked violently, his eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets in pain: "Cough cough cough cough—Pfft—"
Instantly, the chicken was coughed up, but it also sprayed out along with saliva, smearing Mr. Liu's face.
Ning Yuan: "..."
Master Liu: "..."
Rong Zhaonan reacted quickly, took out a handkerchief and handed it to Master Liu, saying apologetically, "Wipe your face. Thank you all for taking care of Xiao Ning. My girlfriend has caused you trouble these past few days."
Master Liu and the two waiters next to him stared wide-eyed.
What? This refined, delicate, and tender-looking young man is Xiao Ning's cunning hunting target?
Ning Yuan laughed awkwardly: "Haha, yes, let me introduce you. This Comrade Rong is my boyfriend, and the person next to him is his old comrade-in-arms, who is also my younger brother."
"Ah, hahaha, you can't judge a book by its cover, pretty boy... no, you can't measure the sea with a bucket. Anyway, I'll go clean the stove."
Master Liu wiped the splattered chicken saliva off his face, chuckled awkwardly a few times, and quickly turned and slipped away with the waiter.
Isn't that just plain stupid? Praising someone's wrong partner in front of them and then urging them to have a baby with another man?
Watching Master Liu flee in panic, Ning Yuan couldn't help but laugh, so she simply changed the subject: "Rong Zhaonan, let me tell you about what happened to me today."
Rong Zhaonan glanced at Chen Chen, who was clutching his stomach and looking aggrieved, and said calmly, "You speak."
Ning Yuan immediately recounted what had happened that day and her speculations and plans.
Although he had already heard the general outline from Chen Chen, he still caught a lot of details when Ning Yuan told him the story again.
The man's brows furrowed: "Ning Yuan, you're too reckless. In this day and age, anyone who dares to wander the streets and collect goods all over the world is a desperate scoundrel who's not afraid of being shot and values money over life!"
Feeling guilty, Ning Yuan asked cautiously, "Um, you can't handle this either, can you?"
Has she gotten him into big trouble?
Rong Zhaonan lowered his eyelashes expressionlessly, pulling down his sleeve, which was stained with a little red dirt: "Hmm, we can't handle it. You have no idea what kind of weapons they have."
Ning Yuan immediately looked distressed and admitted her mistake with some remorse: "I was blinded by greed for money for a moment, I won't do it again!"
Thank goodness, she managed to get in touch with the county public security bureau today, so maybe she can intimidate Uncle Liu a bit? It seems she has to be even more careful and stay in the village, absolutely not going out!
Now we still have to rely on Boss Rong's good skills to protect us as much as we can.
Seeing Rong Zhaonan's cold expression, she blinked and tried to appease him: "I'll do whatever you say. I'll work and study in the village honestly for the next few months, stop selling goods, and focus on preparing for the exam. Once I pass, everything will be fine."
1,500 yuan! That's a huge sum of money!
Her living expenses for four years of university were more than enough to support Grandpa Tang and Grandma Xia, and she could live a very comfortable life!
Moreover, she would have a considerable amount of start-up capital for a small business! That's why she gritted her teeth and took the risk!
Rong Zhaonan watched as the girl approached, her large eyes looking at him uneasily, her delicate little mouth moving slightly, her soft hair falling beside her fair ears, appearing unusually well-behaved and obedient.
He inexplicably felt a little itchy again, wondering if if he rubbed her a little harder, she would be bullied and start crying with red eyes.
Will he beg for mercy...?
Rong Zhaonan lowered his thin eyelids, a strange forbearance flashing in his cold eyes: "You protected me in the village before, this time I'll repay the favor, and we'll call it even!"
