Chapter 28: Wolf cubs protect their food, let alone a wolf king who has already reached adulthood
"Ugh?"
Shen Man tried as the man guided her. Indeed, the snail meat in the flower snails was Q-elastic and refreshing, and she almost didn't taste any fishiness. It was delicious.
"If it's delicious, eat more. If it's not enough, I'll serve you more. Eat slowly."
Jiang Ye saw the little girl eating happily, and his heart followed with joy.
Little did he know, this worthless appearance of his was seen by others, which was no less shocking than seeing Division Commander Duan's gentle appearance!
*Had Division Commander Duan and Regiment Commander Jiang both been possessed? *
"Little Jiang, you accompany Manman and eat slowly. I'll go back first."
Seeing that staying behind was redundant, Division Commander Duan curled his lips and stood up to take his leave.
"Oh."
Jiang Ye didn't move his butt at all, looking like he had heard him, *You go, I won't see you off. *
"Goodbye, Grandpa Duan."
Shen Man hurriedly swallowed the rice in her mouth and waved politely~
"Hmm, goodbye, Manman."
Division Commander Duan said goodbye to the little girl, feeling very complicated in his heart.
A sweep of his peripheral vision, and when he turned his back, his gaze narrowed. The people watching the fun all froze, hurriedly withdrawing their gazes, not daring to look anymore.
The little girl Shen Man's appearance was too outstanding. That kid Jiang Ye, if he didn't pick, he wouldn't, but if he did, he picked the best!
Lu Xiu Bai's grandfather, Lu Changjun, that former Commander-in-Chief of the 28th Army, the two of them were like kings who didn't see each other, and they hadn't seen each other for many years...
For Jiang Ye's sake, if he had to lower his old face, he would lower it.
Half an hour later—
After dinner, Shen Man covered her bulging little belly, her head a bit dizzy—carb-dizzy.
During those three years in her old home in Suzhou, she lived alone.
Except for Aunt Ge sending vegetables from time to time, she almost cooked all her own meals, eating very lightly. She couldn't even think about meat; she didn't have meat tickets.
She didn't have a golden finger or cheat, so she lived very poorly.
After going to the Capital, in the few days she stayed at the Lu family, although the food was rich, she didn't have any sense of security, so regarding the food, she only cared that it could be eaten, never mentioning her preferences.
On one hand, it was because Sister Wang was used to cooking for her grandfather, all stewed soft and mushy, catering to the old man's teeth and stomach.
On the other hand, she felt that she wouldn't stay in that home for long and didn't want her stepmother to know her preferences.
That meal at noon, and this meal in the evening, were very much to her taste!
"Do you want an orange?"
"Huh?"
Shen Man's beautiful eyes flickered with the physiological crystals left by yawning, and her eyes were full of confusion.
This topic jumped too fast, and her head was dizzy, and she hadn't reacted yet.
Jiang Ye chuckled, then stood up and walked toward the canteen window. When he came back, he had a few oranges in his hand.
"Fruit after a meal. Take it back and eat it."
"Oh, oh, okay."
Shen Man reacted, thinking Brother Jiang Ye was truly considerate.
If she were his partner, she would definitely be pampered.
"Can you walk?"
Jiang Ye put the oranges into the little girl's bag and took the bag into his own palm naturally, without any intention of returning it to the little girl.
"Yes."
Shen Man stood up, shook her head, and tried to stay as awake as possible.
She hadn't forgotten that she was going to the Communications Department with Brother Jiang Ye to write an application.
"Be careful, button up your buttons. The temperature on the Sea Island will drop in the evening. Don't kick the quilt at night."
"Okay, okay."
"By the way, I went to report my work to the leader this afternoon, and the leader gave me two pieces of chocolate. I don't like sweets, so I put them in your bag. If you wake up hungry at night, pad your stomach first."
"Mm~"
Jiang Ye hadn't expected that one day, he would talk so much.
Fortunately, he didn't meet any acquaintances on the way out of the canteen, otherwise...
Shen Man had lived two lifetimes and had encountered countless people with ulterior motives.
For the first time, she felt the feeling of being favored and cherished.
No wonder some people warned parents to treat girls well when they were young and broaden their horizons, otherwise, when they grew up, girls who hadn't seen much of the world would easily be cheated away by little yellow-haired boys...
She secretly glanced at the man with a smooth jawline and rolling Adam's apple. He wasn't a little yellow-haired boy.
And she wasn't a girl who hadn't seen much of the world.
Therefore, it started with a heartbeat and ended with character...
The two walked side by side, their high and low silhouettes looking very compatible.
It was also because of Jiang Ye bringing Shen Man to appear in the canteen this time, and even Division Commander Duan chatting happily with the little girl, that the rumor about Regiment Commander Jiang having a partner spread...
A long, long time later, Division Commander Duan finally reacted: wolf cubs protect their food, let alone a wolf king who had already reached adulthood.
After finishing everything and returning to the downstairs of the guesthouse, an hour had passed, and it was completely dark.
"Go up. Tomorrow morning, I will ask Sister Wang at the counter to leave you a breakfast and send it to your door.
I'll come to pick you up for dinner at the canteen at noon, and by the way, send a telegram to your grandfather to report your safety."
"Brother Jiang Ye, aren't you busy with work?"
"I can arrange my work in advance and free up time to accompany you. Besides, you are too rare; I'm not at ease with you going out alone."
The side Jiang Ye showed was always gentle and considerate. Now, he didn't hide his possessiveness at all.
He wasn't just having a whim about the little girl.
Yes, it was true that he was attracted by her appearance.
But he wouldn't love one after another; he was only loyal to the partner he had identified!
"Oh, then, Brother Jiang Ye, you can just send me here. Goodnight."
Shen Man bit her lip, her heart beating faster, and chose to escape tactically like an ostrich.
Brother Jiang Ye's eyes, the dark gloom in the bottom of his eyes, seemed to want to swallow her up before he would stop.
"Go."
Jiang Ye reached out and returned the bag to the little girl.
His long fingertips brushed against the little girl's palm inadvertently, and deep in his body, a feeling of dryness and heat couldn't help but arise...
He watched the little girl go upstairs, and not until the little girl's back disappeared into the stairwell did his gloomy gaze withdraw.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk."
"I say, Little Jiang, the little girl has already gone upstairs; how much longer do you want to look?"
"Sister Wang."
"Alright, I heard it all. I'll send your little girl a breakfast tomorrow morning. Are you at ease now?"
"Hmm, many thanks."
"What's there to be polite about? You finding a partner is the best reward for my old Ji.
You don't know, my old Ji is so worried about you single military officers that the top of his head is bald by a fingernail's size..."
Wang Mingkui winked, looking like she was a person who had been through it and understood everything.
After chatting for a few words, she successfully made Jiang Ye blush, and only then did she stop.
After she got off work, she would go home and tell her old Ji about Jiang Ye's performance!
Jiang Ye fled the guesthouse and returned to the car for the first time, but didn't rush to start it. He just smoked by the window in the driver's seat.
The light in Room 208 turned on, then the curtains were drawn, and about half an hour later, the light in the room went out.
Jiang Ye threw away the last cigarette butt in his hand and spat out the turbid air in his chest. Only then did he start the engine, stepped on the accelerator, and left.
He thought to himself, *This is the last cigarette. From now on, I'm quitting. *
After the jeep drove away, behind the window of 208, the heads of one person and one cat appeared.
"Meow."
*Master, I told you, the Child of Destiny didn't leave. *
Shen Man had already taken off the military coat, changed into long-sleeved and long-legged pajamas, and tucked her long hair behind her ears. Her beautiful eyes were filled with colors that Tangyuan couldn't understand... ===== CHAPTER 29 =====
