Leng Yunting was really worried that Liu Jingyi could take good care of herself.
The meal she cooked last time, though delicious and visually appealing, still resulted in her burning her hand.
Of course, she clearly did it on purpose, but he still couldn't help worrying about her.
The next day, Leng Yunting took the day off.
Early in the morning, before Liu Jingyi got up, he went out to buy groceries.
Chicken and meat were things that even with ration coupons, you couldn't always buy.
But Leng Yunting was young and successful, and even the leaders living in the cadre building treated him with great respect.
Everyone could see that Leng Yunting's status was more than just that.
Therefore, Leng Yunting received special treatment; he was given a portion of chicken and meat almost every day, especially after marrying Liu Jingyi.
Leng Yunting had someone help him kill and chop the chicken and meat, and also bought some red dates and longan to replenish his blood and energy.
After returning home, Leng Yunting first cooked a pot of millet porridge with red dates, then washed the pork ribs and started stewing them.
Liu Jingyi was awakened by the aroma coming from the kitchen.
She changed her clothes and followed the scent to the kitchen, only to find Leng Yunting home.
"On vacation," Leng Yunting explained.
Liu Jingyi didn't think much of it; after all, he had just been on a mission, so it was normal for him to be on vacation now. She nodded and looked at the stove. "What did you make?"
Leng Yunting smiled when he saw her swallowing her saliva. "Pork ribs."
He pulled her hand, which was reaching for the lid, and led her away from the kitchen. "Not ready yet? I made you millet porridge and also brought some meat buns to tide you over."
"Oh."
Liu Jingyi ate a small bowl of porridge and two buns, but she was still craving them, craning her neck to look into the kitchen every now and then.
"Leng Yunting, aren't the pork ribs ready yet?"
Liu Jingyi asked him pitifully every now and then.
“It’ll be another hour!”
Leng Yunting pinched her cheek and said, then asked, “Does your stomach still hurt today?”
Liu Jingyi shook her head, then nodded.
“So, does it hurt or not?” Leng Yunting poked her forehead.
“It doesn’t hurt as much anymore.” Liu Jingyi’s period was always most painful on the first day, and then it wouldn’t hurt as much.
She was about to reach out and remove Leng Yunting’s hand when she heard intermittent sounds outside the courtyard gate, which aroused her curiosity.
Not to mention that the original owner of this body was usually a gossip, Liu Jingyi herself was also like that.
Of course, she couldn’t help but want to go outside. Just as she was about to take a step, Leng Yunting pulled her back.
“Where are you going?”
Liu Jingyi looked at him innocently, “There’s a sound outside, I’m going to see.”
Leng Yunting rolled his eyes at her, “What, when you were moaning yesterday, you weren’t so energetic. How come you’re better overnight?”
How could Liu Jingyi not tell that the man in front of her was teasing her?
Even so, Liu Jingyi couldn't control her gossipy nature. Ignoring him, she turned and went out the door.
It was indeed quite lively outside; the family members of the compound were gathered together, chattering amongst themselves, right in front of Meng Yunfan's house.
"Why are they getting a divorce already?"
"Isn't that right?"
"Could it be because of Liu Jingyi that Xiao Lu is
like this?" "Who knows? I wonder if Xiao Leng knows?"
Sister Chen, hearing everyone's words, reminded them, "Don't talk nonsense. Spreading rumors won't be easily tolerated by the higher-ups."
Sister Chen's words silenced everyone.
Li Chunhua, however, was unconcerned, saying, "If someone can do something like this, why can't we talk about it?"
"Exactly! Xiao Lu is such a nice person."
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and saw Liu Jingyi standing behind her.
The young girl stood in the sunlight, her skin tanned white, her eyes sparkling, truly charming and alluring.
Everyone had initially thought that Meng Yunfan and Xiao Lu's divorce had nothing to do with Liu Jingyi.
But after seeing her, they felt it was understandable,
since Meng Yunfan and Liu Jingyi were childhood sweethearts.
Then they looked at the man who came out with Liu Jingyi; his eyes never left her, as if the outside world was irrelevant to him.
"Commander Leng is home?" Li Chunhua, with her sharp eyes, spotted Leng Yunting behind Liu Jingyi, and her voice rose considerably.
Leng Yunting pretended not to hear, whispering something in Liu Jingyi's ear before pulling her back inside.
Who spread these rumors? The young couple were clearly very affectionate.
It wasn't like what was being said outside.
Besides, anyone could see that Leng Yunting was better than Meng Yunfan, and Liu Jingyi wasn't stupid.
The houses in the compound were all uniformly allocated, so the soundproofing wasn't great. Even inside, Liu Jingyi's soft voice could still be heard.
Let alone men, even the older women felt their bones melt.
Anyone with eyes could see how much Leng Yunting doted on Liu Jingyi, and the way she clung to him was nothing like what outsiders said.
The young couple's relationship was great; outsiders couldn't interfere.
Meng Yunfan saw Liu Jingyi from afar and felt she wasn't like before. Had he really hurt her this time? He shook his head, facing the mess before him.
Liu Jingyi was carried back by Leng Yunting, still unaware of the details.
It was just some gossip about Meng Yunfan, so Liu Jingyi didn't dare complain.
However, she still muttered softly, "I haven't even heard why they're getting a divorce yet."
Leng Yunting glanced at her and said, "What? Didn't you learn your lesson from that night? Besides, shouldn't you be careful not to catch a cold at a time like this? I think your stomach hurts enough already."
Liu Jingyi was speechless after Leng Yunting's retort.
She couldn't argue with him at all. Remembering that night, Liu Jingyi felt it was best not to provoke the man in front of her and avoid making him jealous again. She walked over and gently took Leng Yunting's hand.
In an incredibly sweet voice, she said, "How could that be? Besides, after you rubbed my stomach last night, I really don't feel any pain anymore!"
Leng Yunting wasn't stupid; he clearly knew she was trying to appease him and prevent him from being angry.
Seeing his expressionless face, Liu Jingyi stood on tiptoe and kissed him. "Honey, you're the best!"
Leng Yunting suddenly realized that Liu Jingyi was only shy in bed.
The rest of the time, especially during the day, she was incredibly bold, so bold that he couldn't handle it at all.
She'd kiss and hug him constantly, even lifting him up high.
