There weren't many people at the state-run restaurant today. When Yao Tongjia and her companion arrived, there were still quite a few empty seats, so they casually found a corner to sit down.
Yao Tongjia sat down and sighed, putting all the things she bought in a corner so they wouldn't block people's way and would be a good place to put her things.
I've only been walking for a morning, and my legs and back are already aching. This definitely wouldn't have happened before. It's true that you can't be too indulgent.
Xiao Gengwu had just put his things down when Yao Tongjia glared at him. He chuckled, "My wife looks quite beautiful when she glares at people, but why are you glaring at me?"
Yao Tongjia rubbed her back, and Xiao Geng smiled knowingly: "You sit down, I'll go buy the food!"
Xiao Gengwu glanced at the menu and knew there would be food at home. They only needed to fill their stomachs, so they ordered two plates of dumplings and a red date and goji berry soup and paid for them!
Because there weren't many people, and since this wasn't a live cooking session, Xiao Gengwu didn't return to his seat but stood and waited. As he waited, he saw a face.
His heart sank. This face belonged to a bodyguard who had appeared next to the smiling tiger that day. He was absolutely certain that he had seen everyone's face that day!
He was afraid that someone might have slipped through the net, but why was this person still here? Did he escape that day?
Just then, he was asked to get his food. He quietly took the food and returned to his seat. He didn't sit opposite Yao Tongjia, but instead squeezed onto a bench with her.
Yao Tongjia nudged him: "Aren't there other stools over there? Why are you squeezing over here to sit?"
Xiao Gengwu squeezed her hand: "I just love sitting with you!" The two looked at each other and laughed. Xiao Gengwu ladled some soup for Yao Tongjia and also picked up some dumplings.
While eating, Xiao Gengwu observed the person from earlier. He could see everyone who came in from his seat, but because they were in a corner where the light was dim, they were often overlooked.
The person casually tossed a pack of cigarettes on the ground while sitting down. Soon someone picked it up and left without eating.
Xiao Gengwu had already given some secret signals to his bodyguards. As soon as the person who picked up the cigarette left, he saw someone else leave with him!
After finishing his bowl of noodles, that person stood up and left, and another person followed him! It was good that someone was with him; Xiao Gengwu was relieved!
Yao Tongjia was probably too tired. She could only eat a few dumplings before she couldn't eat anymore. Luckily, she had some soup, and she drank most of a bowl of it before she felt full and alive again.
She watched with a smile as Xiao Gengwu finished the rest of the dumplings and soup, praising him, "The dumplings and soup you bought today were really delicious!"
Xiao Gengwu smugly said, "If you don't even have this much ability, how can you become my husband!"
"It seems like you're not legally my husband yet!" Yao Tongjia teased.
"Tomorrow is the day. We'll go get our marriage certificate after our wedding ceremony, okay?" Yao Tongjia nodded, of course, when she heard Xiao Gengwu speaking to her so earnestly.
Such a compatible person cannot be lost; of course, we must lock them up legally!
After finishing their meal, the two had no interest in shopping anymore and drove straight back. After getting out of the car, Yao Tongjia habitually headed towards the Ruan family's courtyard, but Xiao Gengwu pulled her back!
"We can't go back there until tomorrow, so please bear with it!"
Yao Tongjia patted her head: "It's really just a habit, nothing more!"
"You really need to change this habit, or you'll lose me one day!" Xiao Gengwu also knew that some habits take time to change.
The two returned to Xiao Yan's courtyard, where Xiao Yan greeted them: "Are you both tired? I made you some chicken soup. Have a bowl with rice."
Yao Tongjia hugged Xiao Yan's arm and said, "Thank you, Mom. We'll come back after we finish eating. The chicken soup can be eaten as a snack later!"
"Take a break and have a bowl each. Drink more chicken soup these days; it'll be good for your health!" Xiao Yan's meaningful words made Yao Tongjia blush!
Xiao Yan couldn't tease them anymore, so she excused herself to go look at the gifts and left, leaving the newlyweds staring at each other in disbelief! After staring at each other for a while, they found it very funny!
After a few tries, the two became quite skilled and, not satisfied with just one time, did it again. After that, Xiao Gengwu didn't dare to cause any more trouble!
Xiao Gengwu was scolded by his mother in the afternoon, who reminded him not to go too far. If Yao Tongjia's dark circles are thick when he goes back tomorrow, his parents-in-law will probably hold him accountable.
Xiao Gengwu was a man who listened to the advice of elders. He could only have a small taste at night, and when he woke up the next morning, he made a point of looking into Yao Tongjia's eyes.
Good thing there were no dark circles under his eyes; he felt a little relieved!
When Yao Tongjia got up today, Xiao Yan was making breakfast. Yao Tongjia went in to help, and Xiao Yan only asked her to assist, and even looked at her eyes carefully: "You're fine today!"
Xiao Yan urged the young couple to finish their breakfast, then urged them to leave: "You two hurry up, your father has to go to work later."
At this time of year, it's not easy to take time off even for a child's wedding, let alone for a daughter's homecoming. When the couple arrived at the Ruan family's courtyard, they were surprised to see Ruan Shengpeng standing at the door, stretching out his body.
Yao Tongjia asked curiously, "Dad, haven't you been exercising yet this late?" You should know that Ruan Shengpeng usually gets up at five o'clock to train with his soldiers.
Ruan Shengpeng's lips twitched: "Can't I stretch a bit after I've finished eating?"
Yao Tongjia felt that her father seemed a bit irritable today. Was it because of the discord last night? She looked suspiciously at her mother standing next to her and noticed that her mother had dark circles under her eyes.
Looking at Mom, she doesn't seem out of place at all. What could be wrong?
Ruan Shengpeng looked at his unfortunate daughter, wanting to throw her out but unable to bear it. Yao Tongxu came out from inside: "Sister, you're finally here! Dad and Mom have been restless these past two days!"
"They came out to wait for you early this morning!" Yao Tongjia finally realized that these two were standing there because they were worried that she wasn't doing well!
Touched, Yao Tongjia took her mother's arm and rested her head on her shoulder: "I'm doing very well, just as comfortable as at home. Our two families have lived together for so long, don't you know my mother-in-law?"
Yao Yanxin pulled her daughter along, saying, "Knowing is one thing, but we also need to see you to know if it's really that good!"
Xiao Gengwu stood beside Ruan Shengpeng and pledged his loyalty: "Dad, I will definitely take good care of Tongtong, don't worry!"
"Of course I'm at ease. If you dare to treat her badly, I'll send her home immediately. I can afford to support her. At worst, I have so many soldiers; she can choose any one of them, and there are plenty of people to take her in!"
