CHAPTER 394: CHAPTER 389: WANT TO SEE MORE OF YOU

Seeing Luo Honglan sweat profusely, Fang Pingying didn’t let Luo Zhiyong pass the children to her. Instead, she led her into the room and towards the sofa, handing her a tissue to wipe off the sweat while smiling and saying, "Silly girl, you’re so tired. Don’t you know to take a break? Didn’t you just see your nephew and niece a few days ago? Is there a need to miss them so much?"

Luo Honglan didn’t feel tired at all. She took the tissue to wipe off her sweat, then played with Yaoyao and Ruirui for a while. With wide eyes and a smile, she said to Fang Pingying, "Sister-in-law, you guys are back. I won’t go to the shop during the day anymore, I’ll help take care of the kids."

This girl really loves children; she has mentioned this several times, but Fang Pingying has not agreed.

Because she still wanted Luo Honglan to follow along at the shop to meet more people and learn more things. If she was always at home taking care of children, she would naturally give her the same salary, but Luo Honglan would miss out on many learning opportunities.

She didn’t agree right away this time either, deliberately glanced at Chen Jie, then said with a smile, "If you like children so much, why not get married earlier and have your own?"

Upon hearing this, Hong Lan’s face instantly flushed to her neck, "Sister-in-law."

Chen Jie, who was standing in the center room, also coughed awkwardly upon hearing her words, and while trying to use it as a cover, he said he was going outside, "Cough, cough, Sister-in-law, there’s still a lot of stuff downstairs. I’ll go help bring it up."

Fang Pingying looked at the two of them and thought that since they started dating, they probably haven’t spent much time together. She then said aloud, "Honglan, leave the children to me, go downstairs to help Chen Jie. Things are a mess on the truck. You help organize, and let Chen Jie and your brother do the lifting."

Luo Honglan knew what Fang Pingying meant. She was a bit embarrassed, but still followed Chen Jie downstairs.

Although Chen Jie and Luo Honglan had confirmed their relationship, they didn’t spend much time together. At most, it was just the weekends every other week when Chen Jie had a day off and would come to see Luo Honglan. They would talk a bit before Luo Honglan had to rush back to the shop, and Chen Jie had to return to the military.

The closest they’ve been was probably when they went out to watch a movie; in short, their private time together was pitifully scarce.

When the two went downstairs, Luo Honglan was behind, and Chen Jie was ahead.

Chen Jie kept turning around to look at Luo Honglan, who was somewhat shy and kept glaring at him.

When young men and women are in love, who doesn’t want to get a bit closer? When the two reached the turning point on the second floor, Chen Jie deliberately stopped suddenly, and Luo Honglan, unable to stop in time, bumped into his back.

As a soldier, his body was naturally sturdy, and Luo Honglan hit it so hard her nose felt sore and her eyes reddened slightly.

Seeing this, Chen Jie immediately felt a bit sorry and pulled Luo Honglan to his side, whispering, "Does it hurt?"

Luo Honglan rubbed her nose and frowned at Chen Jie, "Why didn’t you walk properly, stopping all of a sudden like that?"

Chen Jie held her hand, looked at her steadily, and after a long moment, he asked softly, "After not seeing each other for so long, don’t you have anything to say to me?"

Luo Honglan was flustered under Chen Jie’s gaze and immediately lowered her head, stuttering somewhat, "Say... Say what?"

Chen Jie said, "Sister-in-law is back, so you shouldn’t be as busy as before. Is it okay if I come over every weekend from now on?"

"I... don’t know." The thought was in Luo Honglan’s mind, but her expression was modestly unsure of how to respond, so she murmured softly, "I also said I’d help my sister-in-law take care of the kids. The kids still need care on the weekends, right?"

Chen Jie felt a bit aggrieved upon hearing this and countered her, "So are we going to keep this up, hardly seeing each other twice a month, and I can’t even get a good look at you?"

"I..." Luo Honglan hung her head and didn’t speak, actually feeling a bit guilty toward Chen Jie.

Every time Chen Jie had to struggle to get away from the army to see her, but she could only speak with him for a few moments when he visited the shop before she had to return to mind the store. Even sometimes when Yu’er wasn’t there, she couldn’t even find the time for a quick chat, merely greeting him at the door before sending Chen Jie on his way.

But because of what happened last time with Fang Xiu and that man, Luo Honglan didn’t dare to bring people into the shop, so it had to be this way.

Both were silent when Fang Pingying and Luo Zhiyong came out, planning to go downstairs to move things. Hearing Chen Jie’s question, Fang Pingying laughed while walking downstairs, "Sure, why not? From now on, I’ll give Hong Lan half a day off every weekend. You come over for lunch at my house every Saturday noon, and then the two of you can go out and play in the afternoon."

"Sister-in-law..." Luo Honglan was worried that this would interfere with the shop’s business.

Fang Pingying walked over to them, smiling, "It’s fine. I specially brought Sister-in-law Zhou over today. Now that your brother will be transferred to the city, he will probably have more time to come home. When he has the weekends off, he can look after the kids, and you can go and have fun for half a day. We’ll manage just fine at home."

"Mhmm."

Chen Jie was clever, had a good temperament, and wasn’t as impetuous as other young people. Solid and earnest, Fang Pingying felt he was a promising young man after spending just an afternoon at her home.

Not only was he ambitious in his work, but he was also extremely considerate and attentive to Luo Honglan. Whatever Luo Honglan was doing, he would help, fearing that she might overexert herself.

Fang Pingying also heard him privately telling Luo Honglan that Luo Honglan was working hard at the shop every day. If he had time, he would come over to help with her work, so Luo Honglan could rest a bit more.

Fang Pingying felt that Luo Honglan was fortunate to have met Chen Jie in this life; perhaps this was the result of the saying ’good people will receive good karma’.

At night, when the two kids had gone to sleep, Luo Honglan went back to the shop and kept watch there with Yu’er.

Sister-in-law Zhou was arranged to stay temporarily in the guest room.

Finally back in his own home, Luo Zhiyong certainly wouldn’t miss the opportunity with Fang Pingying. Once in bed, he leaned over her, and the two became passionately entangled.

Time passed without them knowing until Fang Pingying felt that she could no longer take it; if they continued, she would faint. Only then did Luo Zhiyong let her go.

Fang Pingying lay in Luo Zhiyong’s arms, panting for a while. She wanted to get up and check on the two little ones sleeping in their cradle, but her body was so sore and weak that she could only half get up before being forced to lean back into Luo Zhiyong’s arms.

Luo Zhiyong looked at her and whispered in her ear, "Today, I’m finally about 70 percent full."

Fang Pingying, upon hearing this, got angry and twisted his chest, "Do you want to torment me to death before you’re satisfied and feel 100 percent full?"

Luo Zhiyong’s lips curved into a satisfied smile, he turned to kiss her forehead and said in a low voice, "Don’t talk nonsense."

Fang Pingying laughed and pushed him away, pointing towards the not faraway little ones, "Go check on the kids, who knows if they’ve woken up." (To be continued.
