After teaching how to make cheesecake, Xu Ruantang went on to teach how to make chocolate, strawberry, orange, and nut flavors.
The shop makes sliced cakes, so it's better to have a variety of flavors.
Huan Yuanliang and Wang Xiuxiu came here recently. After they met up, they discussed it and both felt that the restaurant needed to add more seats.
When the weather gets cold, everyone likes to come in and sit for a while.
Wang Xiuxiu was worried about these things.
After finishing her work, Xu Ruantang stretched her wrists and walked outside.
When I looked up, I saw that handsome face I had been longing for day and night.
He has lost weight.
She's noticeably thinner; there's not an ounce of extra fat on her cheeks.
Her figure remained tall and slender, and her aura was still cold and aloof.
A hint of a smile appeared in Chen Jiming's eyes as he carried the baby and walked quickly toward her.
"Have you been here long?"
Xu Ruantang really wanted to pounce on him, but she held back because of the occasion.
Chen Ji's voice was deep, mellow, and clear: "Just arrived."
His eyes were smiling as he raised his hand to smooth the stray hairs on Xu Ruantang's forehead, the movement natural and casual.
"Ruan Tang, you've finally come out."
The auntie in the shop quickly came over after serving the dessert to the customer.
With a gentle smile on his face, he said, "This is your friend, right? I told the young man to sit down and wait for you, but he wouldn't sit down and insisted on standing here to watch you."
She stood there for more than an hour, holding her baby in her arms.
The sight of a soldier in uniform standing in the shop, a handsome young man at that, immediately boosted the shop's business.
The aunt had never seen such a stubborn person before, and she quickly recounted what had just happened.
Xu Ruantang blinked, turned her head to look at the table behind her that was full of people, and smiled with her eyes crinkling.
"Auntie, this is my husband."
This caused an uproar in the store again.
Xu Ruantang had previously kept a low profile and had never mentioned that she was one of the bosses.
Everyone was shocked when they found out.
This time it was even more surprising, with a child and a wedding, and she even married such a handsome military officer.
This man has an extraordinary air about him; he's definitely not an ordinary officer.
After saying goodbye, Xu Ruantang went home with Chen Ji.
She had no idea that gossip about her was flying around the store.
The rumors got more and more outrageous.
Even at the end, some people said that she was the daughter of a leader in Beijing, which is why she had such an outstanding husband.
She also said that she invested in Huan Yuanliang's shop using money from her husband's family and her own family.
As everyone made the cake, they lamented the unfairness of fate, wondering why he hadn't been born into such a good family.
Xu Ruantang was unaware of these things.
When she returned home with Chen Ji, Xiao Bao was already fast asleep on Chen Ji's shoulder.
Chen Ji carried her into the room downstairs.
After putting the child down, I came out and saw Xu Ruantang busy in the kitchen.
He quickly stepped forward and hugged her from behind, resting his chin on the top of Xu Ruantang's head, his voice languid: "Wife."
Xu Ruantang washed the radish and was cutting it; she planned to make pork rib soup.
He's lost weight; he needs to eat more to recover.
"Chen Ji, do you want to take a shower first?"
He looked very tired, and Xu Ruantang wanted him to take a shower and then sleep with Xiaobao for a while.
Chen Ji didn't move, but bent down and leaned close to Xu Ruantang, breathing into her ear: "You're disgusted with me?"
His tone carried a hint of grievance, "Honey, I originally wanted to come back first, take a shower, and then see you."
But he couldn't wait any longer; he didn't want to wait even a moment longer.
God knows how he slept every night while he was abroad.
When I have insomnia, whether I close my eyes or open them, all I can think about is my wife.
I'm busy every day, but I can't stop thinking about you.
Chen Ji tightened his grip on Xu Ruantang's arm, buried his head in the crook of her neck, and looked dejected.
"I miss you so much. Even just seeing you busy inside through the glass makes me feel incredibly at ease."
That's strange.
Before he got married, even if Chen Ji hadn't been home for a long time, he would never have had such thoughts when he saw Grandma Ye Lan and the others.
He always thought that as a man, he naturally wouldn't be sentimental about women.
Now I realize he was wrong; it's not like that.
There are times when he wants to cling to someone.
But that person must be Xu Ruantang.
Xu Ruantang paused in her action of chopping radishes and quickly put down the cleaver.
She turned around in Chen Ji's arms, cupped his face, and looked at him carefully.
His eyes were full of doubt. "Chen Ji, has something happened?"
He's acting so strangely.
Chen Ji looked down at her, his eyes burning with intense emotion.
He reached out and stroked Xu Ruantang's face with his fingertips; the touch of their skin against each other felt very real.
"Nothing's wrong."
Chen Ji asked tenderly, "Wife, did you miss me while I was away?"
He rarely says things like that.
Xu Ruantang nodded without hesitation, but before she could utter the word "want," she was engulfed by a barrage of kisses.
Chen Ji's enthusiasm was a bit overwhelming for her.
Even after being married for so long, Chen Ji could still kiss her so hard she couldn't breathe.
But her teary-eyed appearance only fueled Chen Ji's wicked tendencies.
Xu Ruantang reached out and pushed him.
I wanted to tell him this was the kitchen, I wanted to say his stubble was prickly, and I wanted him to leave so as not to disturb me while I was cooking.
Unfortunately, he couldn't utter a single word.
"Stepson, Ruan Tang, are you home?"
The door was pounded on loudly, and Ye Lan's voice came from outside.
Xu Ruantang finally pushed Chen Ji away.
She looked up at Chen Ji, whose eyes were still not clear, and chuckled softly.
"Mom was banging on the door really loudly."
Xu Ruantang teased, shifting her gaze downwards.
He couldn't help but chuckle and said, "I'll go open the door. You go check on Xiaobao and come out later."
He's in such a state that he can't possibly face anyone!
Chen Ji looked dazed and didn't react for a moment, holding onto Xu Ruantang's arm tightly.
Xu Ruantang suddenly felt like teasing him.
Before leaving, I touched him and whispered, "I think you need to take a shower now."
She flirted with him and then ran away.
Ye Lan came with the old lady, and the two of them carried a lot of things in big bags and small bags.
"Ruan Tang, where is your stepson?"
As soon as Xu Ruantang opened the door, the old lady walked into the yard while asking questions.
"He's taking a bath, Grandma."
Xu Ruantang suppressed a laugh, took the things from the old lady's hands, and turned to Ye Lan, saying, "Mom, come in quickly too."
The old lady sat down in the main room and heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom.
"Why did you take a shower as soon as you got back?"
Xu Ruantang went to the kitchen to pour water, and came out with the electric kettle, saying, "I didn't even have time to shave, I must have just gotten off the plane."
no way.
You can't say he had a reason he had to wash it.
Ye Lan started unpacking her things as soon as she came in, without even sitting down.
She looked distressed. "Oh, you've worked so hard. What would you like to eat tonight? I'll make it right now."
"I'm about to make pork rib soup."
Xu Ruantang originally planned to stew pork rib soup and make a cold dish for dinner.
Chen Ji is back from abroad and must really want to eat noodles, so she'll make him some tomato and egg noodles.
