The sky gradually darkened.
Sure enough, Li Nanheng and Mo Jingshen directly called Qin Siting out. After greeting him, the three men went out to have fun and drink.
Li Nanheng lived in a very quiet neighborhood in the south of Hai City. It was located in the southernmost area of a terrace villa. The environment was good and the air was good. There were not many people passing by. Usually, they could only see various luxury cars entering and leaving the neighborhood. They did not know where the big shots came from, but those who could live here were indeed not ordinary.
“No wonder Li Nanheng always went to Hai City in the past few years. It turns out that he already has a place to stay here.” Ji Nuan stood on the balcony and looked at the balcony that had just been cleaned. There was no dust or dirt left, but because this place had been vacant for too long, it inevitably had the smell of accumulated dust. She could only open the French windows and breathe in the night air outside.
“He hasn’t lived here for many years. Although he just cleaned up, your nose is too sensitive right now. If you’re not used to it, let’s go out and find a place to eat. Don’t stay here,” Feng Ling said as she walked to the balcony.
“There’s no need. Recently, I’ve been fighting with Mo Jingshen, so no matter how I look at him these days, he’s not pleasing to the eye.” Ji Nuan sat down on the wooden rocking chair on the balcony and touched her flat abdomen. “Once I became pregnant, Mo Jingshen threw Mo Xiaoshen into the Mo family. I’m was so angry.”
Feng Ling: “…Mo Xiaoshen? Who?”
“Oh, I’m talking about a cat. We’ve been raising this cat for more than a year. Initially, he was quite averse to it. Later on, he gradually helped me raise it. However, when I suddenly became pregnant and sent the cat away without saying anything.”
“…”
“Thankfully, he only sent him to the Mo family. I can still visit him often. If he dares to send Mo Xiaoshen to another place, I definitely won’t live with him anymore.” Ji Nuan leaned against the rocking chair as she spoke. She stretched her limbs comfortably and laid down. Women who were pregnant could do whatever they wanted. Anyway, she was too familiar with Feng Ling. There was no need to care too much about her image. She swayed comfortably here and there, enjoying the night breeze. She narrowed her eyes to look at Feng Ling, who was standing by the window on the balcony. She had not been in the base for so many years, yet she still stood quietly and straight. Her delicate appearance and long hair made her look like a beautiful white jade statue from afar.
“When are you getting married?” Ji Nuan asked.
It was summer in Hai City. It was very hot. Feng Ling also felt that the temperature of the night breeze was slightly hot, but it was very comfortable. Behind her was the warm yellow light from the window, and outside was the rows of garden scenery.
Feng Ling glanced at her. “The old people on both sides have to meet up every day to drink tea and chat. The only difference is that the two families are about to move in together. They’re only lacking a marriage contract. Besides, in America, marriage is just a booklet. It’ll be fine if you take some time to register it. We haven’t considered when it will happen. Perhaps if there’s nothing to do, we’ll go directly.”
Ji Nuan continued to lie there and shake her head. She nodded. “En, that’s good. Our relationship has already reached the point where we won’t leave each other. There’s no need for too many useless things. Especially you and Li Nanheng. You’ve experienced life and death feelings. It’s been so many years. It’s good as long as you can lead a peaceful life in the future.”
Ji Nuan glanced at her. “You’re not returning to the base?”
“I don’t think we can go back.” Feng Ling smiled. “But we can occasionally use the identity of the Li family’s Young Madam to investigate. After all, that’s the Li family’s territory.”
Seeing the hint of relief in Feng Ling’s eyes, Ji Nuan smiled. “That’s fine. You’ve become the Young Madam from a small soldier in the base. Who is the person in charge of the base now? I don’t know much about him. His name is Ah Feng, isn’t it? I forgot where I heard it. Yes, his name is Ah Feng. In the end, he didn’t even do as well as you.”
“In comparison, I’m more interested in his position as the person in charge of the base.” Feng Ling casually pulled the window behind her to prevent mosquitoes from flying in. She then said, “Why don’t I discuss with Ah Feng when we go back one day? I’ll be the person in charge of this base, and then give the position of the Li family’s Young Madam to him.”
Ji Nuan was stunned for a moment and did not react. When she came back to her senses, she found that Feng Ling, who used to be a man of few words, actually knew how to joke humorously. She especially liked to tease Li Nanheng.
The two women chatted and laughed on the balcony for a long time. In the end, when it was past ten in the evening, the three men were still chatting outside. They had no intention of returning. The two of them were happy and at ease. They went out to buy food and came back to cook. They only cooked two bowls of noodles and were very satisfied.
In consideration of Ji Nuan’s pregnancy, Feng Ling specially bought a lot of fresh fruits and cut them up for her to eat.
Ji Nuan’s mouth had indeed been busy since she was pregnant. She was naturally happy to have fruits to eat.
They chatted until the middle of the night. It was almost eleven. Ji Nuan leaned against the rocking chair and was about to fall asleep. All of a sudden, Feng Ling rushed out of the bathroom and gently tugged on the blanket on her.
Ji Nuan opened her eyes and glanced at her in a daze. “What’s wrong?”
“Two days ago, in Los Angeles, I kept thinking about returning to Hai City, so I forgot. Today, I discovered that my period this month is almost a week late.” Feng Ling lowered her head to look at Ji Nuan, who was still lying on the rocking chair. “This… if my period isn’t accurate for a month, it should be normal, right?”
Ji Nuan immediately woke up. She abruptly widened her eyes to look at her and then picked up her phone to check the time. “It’s already so late. I wonder if there’s anyone in the blood test and gynecology department.”
Hearing her words, Feng Ling’s expression faltered.
Gynecology?!
Ji Nuan calmly lifted the blanket on her and sat up straight on the rocking chair. She cleared her throat and picked up her phone to poke at the screen. Before Feng Ling could see what she was doing, Ji Nuan had already placed the phone by her ear. A few seconds later, she said into the phone, “Hello, Li Nanheng. Your wife and child are both in my hands. If you don’t hand Mo Jingshen over quickly, I’ll bring your wife and child to Syria to sell essential soap.”
Feng Ling : “…”
Li Nanheng: “????”
