How could there be such a relations.h.i.+p? Ling Nua
uan had really underestimated Xia Ninglan.
"Is that so?" Ling Nua
uan had thought that she could get a relations.h.i.+p with Mu Weicheng; she never expected Xia Ninglan to have met Mu Weicheng since she was young. The relations.h.i.+p was really complicated.
"I"ve also been to his house for di
er, and I"ve met his mother." Seeing Ling Nua
uan stu
ed, Xia Ninglan felt slightly proud of herself.
Ling Nua
uan was a little a
oyed and said flatly, "So what?" What did this mean? Does he know you from him? "
I"m just telling you, I have a better chance to get to know him than you do. Ling Nua
uan, you"re a spoiled child, so you shouldn"t come here and ask for trouble. The living conditions here are incomparable to those in big cities. Xia Ninglan began to persuade him to leave. She looked at Ling Nua
uan with a pleased expression.
Ling Nua
uan"s face was sullen as she tried to calm herself down and not argue with Xia Ninglan. After all, they had come here to do something meaningful. It would be too embarra.s.sing if they started quarreling.
"I don"t have any good points, but the only good point is that I will not give up until the Yellow River is dead. If you still want to persuade me, then save it." Ling Nua
uan turned around and walked to the side.
Xia Ninglan bit her lips as she thought, "Ling Nua
uan is really stubborn. Will she be able to understand the current situation?" It would do her no good to stay here.
"Warm, cold?" Suddenly, Lin Bo brought a cup of hot water over and asked Ling Nua
uan with concern.
Just as Ling Nua
uan was about to speak, Lin Bo suddenly threw a jumpsuit over her shoulders, "Wear it, don"t catch a cold. This town is over a hundred kilometers away from the nearest town."
Ling Nua
uan felt a bit awkward. Just as she was about to return the jacket to him, the opposite door suddenly opened and Mu Weicheng walked out with his underlings. His gaze happened to see her grabbing the jacket by the shoulders as if she was tightening her jacket.
The light in the man"s eyes dimmed as if it had been erased.
Ling Nua
uan didn"t expect things to be so coincidental. It"s over. Mu Weicheng wouldn"t misunderstand again, right?
Ling Nua
uan quickly took off her coat and returned it to Lin Bo. "No need, I have a coat. It"s in the car, I"ll go get it."
Ling Nua
uan ran out into the rain. A moment later, she was holding her coat in her hands, but her face and hair were wet.
Mu Weicheng was still holding his breath when he suddenly saw her ru
ing out in the rain. His heart skipped a beat and his long legs went out. Then, he saw her rus.h.i.+ng in blindly. She actually went to get her coat. "Idiot!" The man"s voice was low and low.
Ling Nua
uan was stu
ed for a second. Then, she wiped the water droplets off her face and answered softly, "I"m just afraid that you"ll be jealous."
Mu Weicheng"s body shook. Was this fool going out to rain for his sake?
Xia Ninglan saw all of this happen. After seeing Ling Nua
uan run out on the scene, she immediately got Mu Weicheng"s attention and stomped her feet in anger. This scheming girl really had some tricks up her sleeve.
The di
er was not very sumptuous, but it was better than what Ling Nua
uan had eaten along the way. She ate two bowls of rice for the first time ever.
Mu Weicheng couldn"t help laughing in his heart when he saw her eating so sweetly.
Ling Nua
uan always ate very little when she came out to eat. It was only after she had eaten a few meals did she realize how important it was to fill her stomach.
Around ten in the evening, the rain began to subside and all the Land Cruisers started to reload.
Mu Weicheng still had Ling Nua
uan sit beside him in his car. Xia Ninglan didn"t even have a chance to grab a seat, she was filled with resentment.
After Ling Nua
uan had eaten her fill, she wanted to go to sleep. She found a comfortable place in Mu Weicheng"s arms and started to doze off.
Ling Nua
uan didn"t know how much time had pa.s.sed when she heard the sound of dogs barking in the distance. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw a flat land in front of them. The lights were spa.r.s.e. This was a village.
Previously, when there was no pa.s.sage, this was still a barbaric land. Later on, they pa.s.sed through the mountain road, and the outside world gradually affected this place as well. With the addition of a large group of people who were stationed at the base, the people here gradually began to open up their minds to greet the foreign culture.
"Where are you going?" Mu Weicheng suddenly thought of parting with her and felt reluctant.
"Do you know where Cheng Yuanshan lives? He"s a friend of my grandfather"s, and I live in his house. " Ling Nua
uan asked in a low voice.
"Of course I know. Teacher Cheng"s house is not far ahead. It"ll be around the corner." Mu Weicheng had some understanding of the residents here, moreover, Elder Cheng was a member of their base.
Ling Nua
uan also felt the need to part ways with him. She grabbed the man"s arm reluctantly. "When will I be able to see you again?"
"When I have time, I"ll come over and get some food." Mu Weicheng smiled gently.
"It"s fine to come for a meal, but you can"t come empty-handed." Ling Nua
uan immediately whispered.
"Don"t worry, I"m really thick-ski
ed. Even if you don"t live in Elder Cheng"s house, I still occasionally come over to get food." Mu Weicheng seemed to be in a good mood and gradually recovered the vitality of his youth.
"I"m speechless with you." Ling Nua
uan rolled her eyes at him.
While they were talking, the car arrived at Elder Cheng"s house. At this moment, the lights were still on. Hearing the car"s sound, Elder Cheng, who was wearing a coat, opened the door with some anxiety in his steps. "Is it warm?"
Ling Nua
uan hurriedly pushed the door open and got out of the car. She greeted him politely, "h.e.l.lo, Grandpa Cheng. I"m just warm." Elder Cheng had a gentle smile on his face. "I knew it was you. My grandson said he wanted to pick you up from the village entrance. Did you guys not meet?"
"Ah?" Grandpa Cheng, something went wrong with our car while we were on the road. Hearing that Ling Nua
uan even sent someone to pick her up, she felt very embarra.s.sed.
Mu Weicheng walked out of the car and said with a smile, "Teacher Cheng, I was the one who sent her here."
"Oh, it"s Officer Mu. Come in for a cup of tea before leaving." Elder Cheng immediately invited him enthusiastically.
Mu Weicheng looked at Ling Nua
uan, while sitting in the car, he suddenly got out of the car too, "Boss, I"ll go to the side to smoke. You can go in and take a seat. I"ll rest and then drive. I"m a bit tired."
Mu Weicheng gave him an appreciative look before helping Ling Nua
uan to take down the suitcase and walked into Elder Cheng"s living room.
Elder Cheng was currently living here with his wife and grandchildren. His son and daughter-in-law worked in a county city more than a hundred miles away. His grandchildren would occasionally come back to stay for a few days, leaving a lot of empty rooms.
"Wen Cheng, move your luggage to the room next door. It"s just been cleaned up, and everything is new. Warm, tired? I left some di
er for you, do you want to eat?" Elder Cheng was like an equally senior as he paid special attention to Ling Nua
uan.
"I"m not eating. I"ve already eaten. Grandpa Cheng, I"ll go take a look at my room first." Ling Nua
uan immediately smiled politely, turned around and followed Mu Weicheng to the room she wanted.
Elder Cheng also followed with a smile. He saw Mu Weicheng bending over to tidy up the bed.
"Wei Cheng, are you friends with Warmth?" Elder Cheng was a bit surprised. From what he knew of Mu Weicheng, he seemed to only work with extra seriousness and didn"t care about the private matters of others. However, at this moment, he took the initiative to make Ling Nua
uan"s bed and even arranged her luggage.
Mu Weicheng Jun"s face was red with embarra.s.sment. Then, he nodded and said, "Yes, I"ve known you since I was young."
"That"s good. You"ll be staying here in the future. You have company now." Elder Cheng immediately said happily.
Ling Nua
uan snickered while standing at the side. However, Mu Weicheng laughed in a nervous and guilty ma
er, "Yeah, from now on, if she stays here, she might have to trouble you and Aunt more."
"No need to trouble yourself. It"s just a child. It"s very lively with guests at home." Elder Cheng walked out tactfully as he said, "You guys tidy up first, I"ll go make a pot of tea."
