Roqued thanked him profusely and left the room, wiping the sweat from his forehead with the sleeve of his robe.
Fortunately, he remembered the arms sales contract they had signed with Sean!
For this contract, Sean will definitely have to return to their palace and sell them weapons!
This is the best way for them to capture Sean.
Li Xiyue and Grandpa Mu held a long meeting at the bureau.
It was almost dark when the meeting ended, and Li Xiyue took Grandpa Mu back to the printing factory.
She left the printing factory and drove home. On the way, seeing that there was no one around her, she immediately returned to her spatial dimension and put the car inside.
Driving home is too far and a waste of time. She has a spatial portal, through which she can go wherever she wants at the fastest speed.
Mi Bao quickly asked, "Yue'er, do you want to go see Mu Cangnan? You haven't seen him yet today!"
Li Xiyue said, "I talked to the nurse about Mu Cangnan's condition yesterday, and I left the medicine that Mu Cangnan needs. I asked the nurse to give him an IV."
She figured that since a nurse was giving Mu Cangnan an IV, it didn't matter whether she went to see him or not, since Mu Cangnan was recovering quite well anyway.
Mi Bao was a little disappointed; Li Xiyue wasn't going to look at Mu Cangnan anymore...
Li Xiyue said, "Set up a spatial passage for me, and I'll go home!"
She was increasingly convinced that there was something wrong with Li Jiuqing. She wanted to go home and keep an eye on him, and she also had something important to do that night!
Afterwards, Mi Bao set up a spatial passage for Li Xiyue, who then used it to return to her vicinity of home.
She strolled leisurely to her front door with her hands behind her back and patted the large iron gate.
Hearing the knocking, Cheng Xiaohui quickly ran out to open the door!
She saw Li Xiyue standing outside the door and her face lit up with a big smile!
My daughter came home early today, so she doesn't need to worry about me!
She opened the door and said, "You're back early today! Your dad and I were just talking about you. We were wondering when you'd be back."
Li Xiyue said, "I'm back now, Mom. From now on, you can eat as soon as the food is ready. You don't need to wait for me."
The Lunar New Year is almost here, and I'll be getting busier and busier. I'll be visiting a few factories these next few days, and I might not be home for dinner tonight!
What bothers her most is that there is no phone at home. If only there were a phone, she could call her mother and tell her if she is waiting for her to eat.
Cheng Xiaohui said, "That won't do! It's no fun eating if the family doesn't eat together! It's much more enjoyable to eat together as a family!"
Guess what Mom made for you? Can you smell the delicious aroma?!
Li Xiyue sniffed carefully, her eyes suddenly flashing, and she said, "Why do I smell roasted ribs?"
"Mom, you didn't grill the ribs the way I told you to, did you?!"
Cheng Xiaohui said with a smile, "That's right! I was thinking of grilling ribs, it sounded pretty simple, so I decided to give it a try!"
I went to the cooperative and bought a rack of spare ribs, then set up a grill in the yard. Look how well I grilled them! Isn't it what you said?"
As soon as Li Xiyue entered the living room, she saw a whole rack of pork ribs on a huge square iron plate.
The ribs were roasted to a beautiful reddish-brown color, emitting an enticing aroma of oil!
Even though she had plenty of food in her space, she still couldn't help but swallow hard when she smelled this aroma.
She said to Cheng Xiaohui, "Mom, you baked it so well! The color and aroma are amazing!"
Cheng Xiaohui said with a smile, "It's all because of the good seasonings you bought for the family. That cumin, I didn't even know it existed before!"
"Sit down and try it! Isn't Mom's roasted ribs delicious?!"
After she finished speaking, she tore off a whole rib for Li Xiyue.
Li Xiyue held the whole bone and gnawed on the meat on it. There was a lot of meat on it, and it tasted especially delicious.
Pigs from that era weren't raised on feed with added technology, so their pork had a very fragrant flavor, completely different from pigs raised on commercial feed later on.
As she ate, she exclaimed, "It smells so good! Mom, your grilled ribs are amazing!"
Cheng Xiaohui said, "If it's delicious, eat more. You've lost weight lately because you've been so busy!"
Li Xiyue said, "What do you mean I've lost weight? I've definitely gained weight!"
Li Wenbo said, "It looks better if you're a little chubby. You should gain another ten or so pounds; you're still too thin!"
Cheng Xiaohui said, "That's right, with your looks, if you went to a matchmaker, they would all look down on you!"
Just as the family was having a happy time, there was a knock on the gate.
Cheng Xiaohui got up to open the door.
With her X-ray vision, Li Xiyue immediately spotted Li Jiuqing standing outside the iron gate and a jeep that had driven away.
It seems Li Jiuqing wasn't lying; she did indeed go to see the leader.
Otherwise, a jeep wouldn't have brought him back.
When Cheng Xiaohui saw Li Jiuqing, her face was devoid of warmth. She opened the door and said, "Come in, dinner's ready!"
There were no superfluous words; it simply stated the facts.
Li Jiuqing could sense Cheng Xiaohui's attitude towards her.
After she returned to this home, she finally managed to coax Cheng Xiaohui and Li Wenbo back together, but unexpectedly, Li Xiyue's words turned the tide!
Her teeth ached with anger; it was all Li Xiyue's fault!
She controlled her expression, revealing a sweet, carefree smile.
Her two dimples were the same as before, and she smiled sweetly.
She said to Cheng Xiaohui, "Auntie, what are you making? It smells so good! I'm getting hungry just smelling this aroma outside!"
As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face. Cheng Xiaohui wanted to be cold to Li Jiuqing, but she didn't expect that Li Jiuqing would still chat and laugh with her as before.
She had no choice but to say, "I grilled some ribs for you. Come in and have a taste."
When Li Wenbo saw that Li Jiuqing had returned, he coldly called Li Jiuqing to eat.
At the dinner table, Li Jiuqing did everything she could to please Cheng Xiaohui and Li Wenbo, trying her best to ease the tension between them.
After finishing the meal, Li Jiuqing felt that she had burned more calories than she had eaten!
Li Xiyue yawned as she returned to her room.
Li Jiuqing caught up with Li Xiyue and whispered to her, "Yue'er, I saw you turn into an alley at noon."
I just remembered I have something to tell you, and I want to explain it to you again. That's not what I meant.
I went to chase after you, but how strange, you walked so fast! I didn't see you when I entered the alley!
Inside the space, Honey's face twitched violently. It exclaimed, "Holy crap! She was following you! She found out! What do we do?!"
Li Xiyue raised an eyebrow slightly, slowly turned around, and looked at Li Jiuqing...
