Chapter 13 This is my wife, Luo Ning
Chapter 13 This is my wife, Luo Ning
Luo Ning dawdled, walking towards Xie Chang'an at the speed of stepping on an ant.
"Xu Bing, this is my wife Luo Ning!" Xie Chang'an introduced Luo Ning's identity, though he didn't know why he did it.
He just couldn't stand Xu Bing's disdain for Luo Ning. She was his wife, what business was it of this bastard?
"Xiao Ning, this is my high school classmate, Xu Bing. He's now a big boss at a coal mine!"
Xu Bing was slightly taken aback, not expecting Xie Chang'an to maintain such a simple and frugal lifestyle even after becoming a company commander.
In his eyes, Xie Chang'an was just a junk collector who took in Luo Ning, whom nobody wanted.
Luo Ning felt as if she had been struck hard in the softest part of her heart, and she was so moved that she expressed her desire to repay Xie Chang'an with her body and thank him for his unwavering support.
She stood obliviously next to Xie Chang'an. Although she seemed completely out of place with him, she had no sense of propriety whatsoever and stood there steadily.
"Hello! I'm Luo Ning, nice to meet you!"
Xu Bing simply nodded slightly, a little more restrained than before. She then pulled Xie Chang'an, the local representative, aside and offered him words of concern. Xie Chang'an remained aloof, only nodding occasionally.
Xu Bing found this really boring, so she made an excuse to leave.
Xie Chang'an finally breathed a sigh of relief, bid farewell to Xu Bing with Luo Ning, and embarked on his journey home.
He disliked dealing with people like Xu Bing, who were mercenary and filthy. If it weren't for Luo Ning, he would have simply nodded and moved on.
Luo Ning smiled all the way, wanting to help Xie Chang'an with some of the burden, but was refused.
But she was in an even better mood, so happy she felt like she could fly.
"What's making you so happy?" Xie Chang'an finally asked after holding back for a long time.
"First, of course, is that I can go back to my parents' house tomorrow, and second..."
You're leaving tomorrow, so I don't need to guard against my own ill intentions towards you.
Upon arriving, she felt like she was living in a dream, and because her emotions from her past life were too intense, she didn't have time to restrain them.
"Thirdly, I suddenly thought of something good..." Luo Ning smiled slyly, her eyes sparkling with intelligence.
Xie Chang'an snapped out of his daze and quickly regained his composure. "What good news?"
What's the second one?
"It's a secret!" Luo Ning said mysteriously with a smile.
Xie Chang'an's curiosity has grown even more! His little wife's secrets have accumulated again, which is really a bit of a headache!
"Chang'an, your journey is to the stars and the sea, don't let the confusion before you cloud your judgment!" Luo Ning's words were pointed, but he left it at that.
The long-standing inner turmoil and pain in Xie Chang'an's heart suddenly vanished, and his mind was suddenly at ease.
He became even more certain that this was not the kind of insight a country girl should have!
Luo Ning breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xie Chang'an had taken his words to heart.
Xie Chang'an is young and promising. Only by letting go of his grudges can he go further.
After the two arrived home, Luo Ning rolled up her sleeves and went into the kitchen to get busy, while Xie Chang'an was nowhere to be seen.
Half an hour later, Xie Chang'an dragged back a tree branch and started working in the yard with his tools.
When Luo Ning went to the yard to fetch firewood, she noticed an extra bolt on the gate. She glanced at the branches that had been neatly arranged in the yard, her gaze sweeping over Xie Chang'an chopping wood, and felt a warm glow in her heart.
Seeing Luo Ning approaching, Xie Chang'an immediately put down his axe, picked up a bundle of firewood, and went inside. "It's cold outside, and you're not dressed warmly enough. Come on in!"
"Hey!" Luo Ning nodded happily. Xie Chang'an is such a sweetheart. She's struck gold.
Luo Ning had been busy in the kitchen for most of the day and hadn't had a moment to rest even after dinner.
Seeing the obvious fatigue on her face, Xie Chang'an disagreed, "Luo Ning, you've made quite a lot of things today, enough for you to eat for a while. You can make more later!" They went to town today, and she's been busy ever since they came back; she's exhausted.
"I'll rest after I finish making these cakes. If you're sleepy, go to sleep first!" Luo Ning politely declined, feeling a little disappointed. Xie Chang'an called her Luo Ning again; their intimacy was all an act.
"When you leave tomorrow, take all the things I made today and the local specialties with you! Share the local specialties with your comrades so they can also taste the things from our hometown. The weather is still very cold now, so the meat sauce and these kinds of pancakes I made can be kept for a while. If you get hungry tonight, you can just heat them up and eat them!"
Xie Chang'an was stunned. He never expected that those local specialties and what Luo Ning made today were all brought for him.
He had been on the battlefield many times and had become indifferent to life and death, yet he was repeatedly moved by this woman.
Xie Chang'an felt a surge of warmth in his heart, rushed forward and hugged Luo Ning's bulging waist from behind, resting his head on her shoulder.
Luo Ning's body was as stiff as a piece of wood. Hey, what's going on here?
"Why bring those bastards anything? You can keep the local specialties at home!" Xie Chang'an's voice was already a little hoarse when he spoke.
He could feel Luo Ning's stiffness, but he didn't want to let go of her. It felt comfortable and warm to hold her, and Xie Chang'an liked that feeling.
"Look at what you're saying! I'm already so fat, if I eat any more I'll suddenly balloon to 300 pounds!" The thought was too much for Luo Ning to bear. "Chang'an, you've been in the army for years, and you've only been able to get by thanks to the support and help of your comrades. It's just a little something, nothing at all!"
Luo Ning generously replied that she could earn money herself.
"Try this pancake and meat sauce, see if it suits your taste!" Luo Ning was so tormented by the ambiguous atmosphere that she hurriedly tried to divert Xie Chang'an's attention.
"No need, your cooking is sure to be delicious!" Xie Chang'an had great confidence in Luo Ning's culinary skills. He secretly decided that he would eat all of this himself, and Xu Jianbin wouldn't be able to get any.
Uh--
Xie Chang'an had so much confidence in her, which made Luo Ning feel uneasy.
Moreover, with him holding her like that, she couldn't move her arms and legs at all, and she still had more than a dozen pancakes to make!
"Chang'an, go check the stove. It seems the fire has gone out?"
"It's off, so it's off. Perfect, you don't need to do it anymore!" Xie Chang'an said with complete self-righteousness, reluctantly letting go of Luo Ning. "I'll get you some hot water, wash up and go to bed early!"
"Ah..." No! Luo Ning reached out Er Kang's hand and struggled, a faint sense of loss rising in her heart.
It's all over. She's been poisoned by Xie Chang'an too deeply; she's beyond saving.
Go wash up and go to bed early. Isn't this the kind of hint? Although she's never eaten pork, she's seen pigs run. Luo Ning's mind was in turmoil.
Xie Chang'an, you're a former reconnaissance soldier, don't you have any sense of danger at all? Don't you know there's a wolf standing next to you who's been eyeing you for two lifetimes?
Xie Chang'an couldn't understand Luo Ning's inner turmoil, and ignoring her resistance, he fetched hot water and pulled her aside to wash her face.
If Luo Ning looked closely, he would notice that his ears were slightly red.
Under the watchful eyes of the man beside her, Luo Ning washed her face and feet with a tingling sensation on her scalp, then hurriedly climbed into bed.
A short while later, Xie Chang'an blew out the oil lamp and climbed into bed.
Luo Ning immediately curled up into a ball and started snoring exaggeratedly, pretending to be asleep. She kept hypnotizing herself, "Sleep, sleep. Xie Chang'an is an idol, a sacred and inviolable idol. Don't even think about him!"
She was avoiding him again. Xie Chang'an's heart sank, and he stared blankly at the ceiling.
After an unknown amount of time, Luo Ning heard even breathing beside her and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She then quietly began to take off her clothes under the covers.
She really wasn't used to sleeping in a cotton-padded jacket, but she was too embarrassed to take it off in front of Xie Chang'an, so she waited until he was sound asleep before taking action.
After taking off her clothes, Luo Ning rolled over and went to sleep soundly.
Xie Chang'an suddenly opened his eyes, staring at the back of Luo Ning's head, and suddenly felt hungry, even though he had eaten a very full dinner...
