CHAPTER 73: CHAPTER 73: AUNT FLO HAS ARRIVED

Not too many, but everyone tried two.

"Mm, really nice, very tasty."

"Delicious, delicious, crispy and fragrant."

"It’s still meatballs, no wonder they’re so fragrant. Jingming’s wife, your meatballs are truly delicious."

"Exactly, I just love Xiao Yu’s fried meatballs, so I’m here to buy some today." Auntie Fat smiled, holding the meatballs.

Saying this, one is to prevent others from thinking that the relationship between Jiang Jingming and Xu Cheng is abnormal.

And two, to avoid everyone thinking they can eat for free in the future.

Evidently, Sang Yu had thought of this too, shared a grateful glance with Auntie Fat.

"Jingming’s wife, how much are you selling these meatballs for? I want to buy some too."

"Me too, me too, it’s too delicious."

Auntie Fat: "You’ll have to wait for next time, Xiao Yu made them all for me today."

Sang Yu smiled beside Auntie Fat, not saying a word.

"That’s such a pity, but Auntie Fat, next time you can’t take them all from us."

"Yeah, they’re so good, I want to eat them again next time."

"Alright, alright, I won’t fight with you." Auntie Fat said with a smile.

After saying a few good words, everyone went back home.

But this time Sang Yu officially met the nearby neighbors.

After they all left, Auntie Fat pulled Sang Yu aside and said, "Although everyone is neighbors, inevitably some people like to take advantage. Next time, you should charge a little when making them, to avoid any future misunderstandings."

Sang Yu gratefully said, "I understand, thank you, Auntie Fat."

"No problem, if you need any help in the future, feel free to come to me."

"Okay."

...

"Minister, don’t lose heart, I’ll invite Sang Yu out once I go home this time." Xu Ru’an patted Meng Wencheng’s shoulder.

Meng Wencheng felt he had been too timid.

"Perhaps Mr. Sang doesn’t feel anything for me." Meng Wencheng said, somewhat disappointed.

Xu Ru’an: "Minister, don’t think that way first. I feel Sang Yu just hasn’t thought along those lines yet, and you’ve only met Sang Yu twice, very little interaction. Once you interact more, things will improve."

Meng Wencheng said, "I hope so."

"Then Minister, I’ll head home first."

"Mm, take care on the way."

"Okay."

Xu Ru’an bid farewell to Meng Wencheng and went home.

Auntie Fat was already waiting at home for Xu Ru’an.

"Mom, I’m back."

Auntie Fat came out from the kitchen, "You’re back? How are you? Tired? Want to rest a bit?"

Xu Ru’an held Auntie Fat’s arm, "No need, Mom, I’m not tired at all. Mom, what are you cooking? Smells so good."

Auntie Fat affectionately tapped Xu Ru’an’s nose, "Your nose is so sharp, I learned the fried meatballs from Jingming’s wife, just waiting for you to come back so I can fry them for you, they’re almost ready now."

"That’s great, Mom, I’ve been thinking about these meatballs at the school canteen."

Xu Ru’an dragged Auntie Fat into the kitchen, "Mom, I’ll help you take them out."

Auntie Fat shook her head, amused.

Looking at the pan full of meatballs, Xu Ru’an’s face was full of happiness.

"So fragrant!" Xu Ru’an exclaimed.

"I learned them for half a day yesterday, finally got it right. From now on, whenever you want to eat, I can make them for you."

"Mom, you’re the best." Xu Ru’an held Auntie Fat’s arm, playfully.

"You’re quite grown up, yet still acting spoiled." Auntie Fat’s words sounded dismissive, but her face was very nurturing.

"Hurry, wash your hands, time to eat."

"Okay, is Dad not coming back for dinner tonight?" Xu Ru’an asked while washing her hands.

"Yes, I just asked, he should be home any moment now."

Just as she finished speaking, a sound came from the door.

Xu Ru’an shook off the water on her hands and ran to open the door.

"We still need to continue investigating this matter, those we’ve captured aren’t important figures, they’ve been abandoned, whoever planned all this isn’t ordinary.

As for what you mentioned, I’ll keep an eye on it, but it requires your attention too."

Xu Cheng just saw Jiang Jingming leaving work, so they came back together.

Jiang Jingming: "I understand."

"Dad!" Xu Ru’an opened the door and saw Xu Cheng and Jiang Jingming.

Seeing Jiang Jingming, Xu Ru’an greeted him too, "Brother Jingming, long time no see."

Jiang Jingming nodded to Xu Ru’an, "Long time no see."

"You’re back?" Xu Cheng looked at Xu Ru’an, smiling.

"Yes, I just got home and you’re already here." Xu Ru’an smiled.

Xu Cheng turned to Jiang Jingming, "Let’s leave it at that then, we’ll discuss the rest next time."

"Okay." Jiang Jingming nodded.

"Brother Jingming, why don’t you come to our house for dinner, and bring your wife." Xu Ru’an was curious about how Jiang Jingming’s wife looked.

Jiang Jingming declined, "It’s too sudden, maybe next time."

Being refused didn’t make Xu Ru’an anxious; she’s staying for several days this time.

"Alright then."

Bidding farewell to Xu Cheng and Xu Ru’an, Jiang Jingming headed home.

Jiang Jingming opened the door, the aroma of food wafted in.

Then, Sang Yu’s voice, "You’re back? Wash your hands, dinner is almost ready."

Looking at Sang Yu’s busy figure, Jiang Jingming thought this feeling of having a wife busy at home while waiting for her husband was truly wonderful.

Jiang Jingming set down his things and went to the kitchen, "Anything else? I’ll grab it for you."

Sang Yu glanced over, "Nothing much, just take the bowls and chopsticks out."

"Okay." Jiang Jingming took out two bowls and two pairs of chopsticks.

The two sat across from each other.

"For our wedding, is there anything else you’d like to do?" Jiang Jingming suddenly asked.

There’s less than two weeks left until their wedding.

Sang Yu thought for a moment, "I don’t have any."

"Alright, if you need anything, just tell me directly."

"Mm."

The atmosphere suddenly became silent.

As usual, Jiang Jingming handled the cleanup today.

Sang Yu took a stroll in the backyard then returned indoors.

She’s been quite busy lately, as the newspaper wants her to submit her next draft soon.

Plus, if the manuscript is to be published, she needs to draw many Chapters.

So after digesting, she returned to her room.

Jiang Jingming knew Sang Yu was busy lately, so he didn’t disturb her.

Sang Yu drew until ten in the evening, suddenly feeling her stomach discomfort, her back aching.

This feeling was even stronger than before.

She thought it was because she’d been bent over for too long, not paying much mind.

But after bathing, the discomfort persisted.

Gradually, she realized something was off.

Isn’t this the sign of her period coming?
