Chapter 256 You Real Business Is Not Me

“You said…” Zhou Wenping interrupts, “Yi Yunrui went to the cookhouse in person at that time?”

An army commander had an inspection visit in another military region and went to the cookhouse squad. That is something she has never heard before.

She knew that Yi Yunrui didn’t act like normal people, but she never expected that Yi Yunrui could be so amiable to other people.

“Yes. Brother Yi looked cold, but he was not arrogant. When we greeted him and asked him some questions, he responded to us. Then, he chatted with us for a while. He looked at me and asked how long I had been doing washing there. I told him that I had done that for three years. Then he left. Not long after that, I was transferred.”

“Oh. It is not surprising that you respect Commander Yi so much. He is the finder of you.”

“He is my benefactor!” Luo Zhen says frankly, “Without his help, I may be still washing vegetables now.”

Zhou Wenping takes up the vegetables he washed. She feels a little sorry for him. But she also admires him. Luo Zhen had a hard life when he was young. However, he still smiles brightly. This man is really of good personality.

“Pingping.” Luo Zhen sees that Zhou Wenping has got many materials ready. He stops her, “Don’t make too many dishes. We can’t finish them. Let’s keep some, for next time…or, you can keep them for yourself to eat later. Don’t waste the material.”

“It is all right. Anyway, I seldom cook in person. We will discuss about that later if we can’t finish them.”

Luo Zhen feels helpless. He couldn’t have those he liked in the past. He comes to the city and starts to learn about the world. Based on his normal standard, the “extravagance” like this is absolutely unacceptable.

However, Zhou Wenping is here with him…Anyway, whatever she likes, he will be obedient to her.

On the other hand, Pingping hasn’t cooked for quite a long time. She cooks for him. It is his great honor!

Thinking of this, Luo Zhen walks to Zhou Wenping. He smiles honestly, “Even if we waste some food, it is once only. You may do as you like. Pingping, is there anything I can do to give you a hand?”

Zhou Wenping looks at his honest face. She passes him a bowl of egg, “Help to mix the eggs. We are going to have steamed egg.”

“Yes, Commander!” Luo Zhen takes the eggs and makes a serious salute. Then, he walks aside to complete his mission.

It doesn’t take Zhou Wenping much time to prepare all the dishes for the meal. She spends around half an hour in getting five dishes and a bowl of soup ready.

The dishes look good and smell nice. Luo Zhen brightens his eyes and can’t help admiring, “Pingping, the man who can marry you must be blessed for good doings of three lives! Look what you have done. They look even better than those from your cooks. I have a lucky mouth today!”

Zhou Wenping serves a bowl of rice to Luo Zhen. She responds, “Don’t be a sweet talker. It is late. You must be hungry. Eat more.”

“That’s for sure!” Luo Zhen says decisively. He takes a mouthful of rice, “Wow, even the rice is so tasty…”

Zhou Wenping bursts into laughter. She picks a chicken drumstick for him, “Come on. Let’s have dinner!”

“Thank you.”

Luo Zhen takes up the drumstick and takes a bite. He chews and murmurs his praise. Zhou Wenping smiles to look at him.

Suddenly, she feels that happiness can be just so simple. To work, eat, live and sleep with her man and spend the rest of life together.

Wait. Her man?

Zhou Wenping freezes her face, wondering why she will consider Luo Zhen to be her future man!

God. Didn’t she just feel sympathetic to the honest man who went to her restaurant to eat stewed chicken with mushrooms every day? She thought that life was hard for the man. She wanted to be humanistic and cook something good for him.

But, now…it seems that she herself is not calm!

Zhou Wenping takes a deep breath. She takes up the rice and lowers her head to eat, trying her best not to look at Luo Zhen.

However, Luo Zhen is a careless man. He fills his mouth with the foods and can’t stop admiring when he chews. Zhou Wenping is forced to pay attention to him!

She has tried hard to restrain herself, but she can’t help glimpsing him from time to time!

When Zhou Wenping is feeling annoyed, another phone rings. Hearing the sound, Zhou Wenping feels her nerves tightened.

Here comes the mission!

“I go to answer the phone.” Zhou Wenping says. She puts down the bowl and the chopsticks. She takes out her phone from her pocket and walks out.

Luo Zhen carefully stares at the door when he is chewing the foods. After a while, Zhou Wenping comes back. She looks a little uneasy.

“Anything happened?” Luo Zhen puts down the bowl and asks anxiously.

Zhou Wenping curls her lips, “No. Something happened to one of my friends. I have to go at once. You may eat first. You don’t need to wait for me.”

Luo Zhen frowns, “No. I drive you to your friend’s. Dinner is a simple issue. Well. You may have some food before leaving. Or, you will be hungry soon.”

“I don’t want to eat. I don’t feel like eating. You don’t need to drive me there. I can drive by myself. Bye.” Zhou Wenping says. She turns to head for the door. She sees Luo Zhen follow her. She freezes her face, “Colonel Luo, it is my personal issue. Please don’t go with me. Thank you!”

Zhou Wenping looks decisive. Luo Zhen is shocked. He looks blankly at Zhen Wenping’s leaving right in front of him.

It was only for a while…What important thing can that be? She left in such a hurry.

Xia Ning eats a lot of food at dinner. She goes to take a bath again.

When she comes out of the bathroom, Yi Yunrui has finished the cleanup. He is cleaning the bedroom.

Xia Ning wipes her hair. She sits in front of the computer and browses the refreshed responses. Vaguely, she feels something strange in her heart.

Yi Yunrui walks to her. He turns off the screen and turns Xia Ning’s face around. He says gently, “Don’t read these things. I will take care of them. You can see a movie, read a book, or…”

“Rui.” Xia Ning interrupts him, “I am not young. Don’t treat me as a kid. I can withstand these things. Rui, you have done enough for me. In the future…you can leave me alone to deal with that.”

Women need to be independent. She finds that she tends to increasingly rely on Yi Yunrui. That is not a good thing.

The attitude of Zheng Yao, her mother-in-law, gives her the unsure sense of shaking in the storm.

Aware of Xia Ning’s abnormal tone, Yi Yunrui’s hand pauses. He says, “That is silly. I am your husband. You are worth whatever I need to do. To protect you, to look after you and to love you are the things I should do as your man and husband. You don’t need to have other opinions in your heart.”

Xia Ning feels her heart softened. She looks at Yi Yunrui’s tender face, not knowing why…she wants to draw it back in her heart.

Consciously, she turns her face away and ignores Yi Yunrui’s confused face. Xia Ning says, “I have to bother you with the Yin Jingsi issue. However, I am already thirty years old. I am not a kid any longer. So, Rui…as to you, the events in the military region and the Yi Villa are the real business for you. You don’t need to worry so much about me.”

Hearing Xia Ning’s words, Yi Yunrui turns pale. He is shocked blankly.
