When the two checked out, Ning Yuan saw Qin Hongxing again.
Qin Hongxing was having breakfast downstairs. She had changed into a new dark green Soviet-imported wool coat and had an imported acrylic hair clip by her ear.
Her eyebrows were drawn thinly, and her high cheekbones were lightly tinted with rouge.
It still looks stylish and aloof, completely out of place with the guesthouse in the county town.
Seeing Ning Yuan and Rong Zhaonan come down one after the other, Qin Hongxing's eyes flashed with a cold light, as if he hadn't seen Ning Yuan at all.
She simply nodded calmly to Rong Zhaonan: "Good morning, Brother Nan."
Rong Zhaonan nodded casually, "Mm."
Seeing that he was willing to talk to her, Qin Hongxing gestured to a waiter to bring breakfast.
"Brother Nan, today I asked the chef to prepare steamed buns and fried dough sticks. I also specially prepared savory tofu pudding and diced radish with chili."
"This country hospitality is alright, it's a pity there's no fermented mung bean juice, I remember you really liked it."
Ning Yuan looked at the pile of breakfast on Qin Hongxing's table and was speechless for a moment: "..."
Is this aloof woman showing off in front of her that she used to be very close to Boss Rong?
But she remembered that later in the media and newspapers, the wife of Boss Rong who got married did not have the surname Qin. Her surname was very special. She didn't remember her name, but she remembered her surname.
Therefore, Ning Yuan felt no guilt towards Qin Hongxing, and only looked at Rong Zhaonan: "If you want to eat savory tofu pudding at the guesthouse, then stay. Tofu pudding can only be sweet for a southerner like me. I'm going to eat it at Sister Zhang's place!"
She had no interest in talking to this young lady from the capital; it would be like offering a warm welcome only to be met with a cold shoulder.
Rong Zhaonan paused, looking at Ning Yuan's expression, and said with a smile, "Well, after being sent to the countryside these past few years, my tastes have changed. I also eat sweet tofu pudding now."
Seeing Qin Hongxing's unpleasant expression, Ning Yuan's mood improved: "Okay, let's go then."
He's smart to be sensible.
The two paid the bill together and left the guesthouse.
Qin Hongxing finally couldn't hold back any longer and "bang!" swept the entire breakfast table onto the floor.
The waitress rolling her eyes rolled her eyes. "Here we go again! Wasting food every day, may they be struck by lightning!"
A few years ago, she would have reported this landlord-class woman's bad behavior and had her arrested and struggled against!
Qin Hongxing stood up, took a deep breath, and looked at Ning Yuan's back with a cold gaze in his eyes.
She has already found out where this country woman lives.
She's going to Ningnan City right now!
Let's see how long that bitch Ning Yuan can be arrogant in front of her. She even likes to eat sweet tofu pudding. Is that even edible?
Rong Zhaonan was indeed deliberately trying to save face for that woman. How could a northerner like him possibly change his taste and eat sweet tofu pudding!
...
After leaving the guesthouse, the two pushed their bicycles together to Sister Zhang's state-run restaurant, handed over their food coupons, and ate tofu pudding, steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and soy milk.
Rong Zhaonan got into Ning Yuan's car and headed back.
With him by her side, Ning Yuan wasn't afraid of being targeted by Uncle Liu's men again.
After all, this guy is a top-notch reconnaissance soldier; how could he not know if someone is watching him?
Halfway through their bike ride, Rong Zhaonan suddenly asked casually, "I heard you called home yesterday?"
Ning Yuan held onto the back seat of the car, trying not to bump into his back, and nodded: "Yes, Chen Chen told you?"
Rong Zhaonan said leisurely, "Li Yan told me. He came to my door to warn me to stay away from you, so that you won't get scolded by your family because of me."
Ning Yuan was stunned: "This... I didn't know he went to see you again. He wasn't like this before."
She really didn't know what was wrong with Li Yan lately. At this point in time, although they had met a few times, they hadn't decided to date yet.
How did he get so entangled?
She remembered clearly that Li Yan didn't have deep feelings for her, and there was no such thing as dating; they just thought they were a good match.
In her past life, she had just agreed to date Li Yan when the wave of educated youth returning to the city began. Then she went to work in a factory, and he went to work in the city. To put it bluntly, they got married after meeting only a few times.
Let nature take its course; it's just about completing a life's mission. This mission doesn't have to be Ning Yuan; it could be anyone else.
"Looks like you don't know that brigade secretary that well either." Rong Zhaonan rode his bicycle expressionlessly.
"Not that kind of person? Then what kind of person is he?" The girl's tone revealed a familiarity with Li Yan that didn't seem like something you'd get from just dating him.
Ning Yuan frowned and could only emphasize, "I don't know what's wrong with him these past two days. I made it very clear to him yesterday morning."
In the first two years of their marriage, she suffered a miscarriage due to the exhaustion of working three shifts at the factory. Li Yan didn't seem to care much and continued to work hard, getting promoted all the way.
As a result of working three shifts for many years, she suffered several miscarriages due to the stress. It wasn't until she was thirty that Li Yan realized that life couldn't be complete without children.
He finally agreed to transfer her out of that miserable place, the silk mill, because he needed a child.
He became increasingly dissatisfied with her later on. She had a low level of education, poor and dark skin, and a low-class job that was not respectable. That's why he had a confidante at the news agency for more than ten years.
Why is Li Yan acting so strangely this time, even though she's decided not to hold him back?
Rong Zhaonan suddenly slammed on the brakes, bracing himself against the ground with his long legs.
Caught off guard, Ning Yuan bumped into his back, her nose and the soft spot on her chest aching from the impact.
"What happened? What did you hit? Did you brake suddenly?!" Tears welled up in her eyes, and she didn't know whether to rub her nose or her chest.
Rong Zhaonan turned to look at her, his gaze sharp: "Ning Yuan, now that we're together, even if it's just in name, I don't want you to give other men unnecessary hope. You're my girlfriend now."
Ning Yuan felt that there was something strange about what he said, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why.
You say he's doing a "job" of faking marriages, but why is he bringing up other men, talking about giving hope and not giving hope?
Perhaps it was because Li Yan had caused him trouble?
Ning Yuan nodded, still a little embarrassed, rubbing the tip of her nose: "Okay, I understand. I didn't handle this well and it affected you."
At least Qin Hongxing didn't dare to come to her alone and say anything harsh.
Rong Zhaonan looked at her and smirked, clearly aware that this curly-haired rabbit didn't understand the hidden meaning in his words.
It's like talking to a brick wall...
