Chapter 2338: Chapter 2339: Surprised and Delighted
âThereâs nothing real or fake about it, itâs not a big deal.â
âThe Lunar New Year is coming up soon, you must be busy with matters on your end, better not to go.â Li Chuhan said:
âWhen youâre free, come over to my place, Iâll cook for you.â
âYour cooking is not as delicious as mine, I wouldnât go for that.â Lin Yi said:
âIf itâs inconvenient for you to take leave, Iâll talk to Guofeng Miao.â
âBut there are so many patients during the night shift, and my department canât do without me, thereâs a lot waiting for me.â
âStop dithering, just buy the ticket; otherwise, I wonât bother with you anymore.â
âI got it, donât be angry, okay?â Li Chuhan said softly.
âIâm hanging up now, donât forget to eat lunch.â
âMhm, Xin Xin has gone to buy it, make sure to eat on time when youâre outside, and drink less alcohol.â
âGot it.â
After hanging up with Li Chuhan, the taxi arrived at Liang Ruoxuâs place.
He knocked on the door and muttered to himself when there was no response.
âCould it be that no oneâs home?â
Lin Yi had not notified Liang Ruoxu in advance of his arrival in Yanjing, wanting to surprise her.
Unexpectedly, there was nobody home.
Lin Yi took out his phone and called Shen Shuyi.
âAunt Shen, is Mi Li not home?â
âHm? Youâre in Yanjing? Have you dealt with your business in Jinyang?â
âI just finished up and came over.â
âShe must have sneaked out, Iâll give her a call.â
âDonât, thatâll ruin the surprise.â
Shen Shuyi laughed, knowing these young people like their surprises, and said:
âSheâs probably at her grandfatherâs place, go check it out, and if you still canât find her, give me a call.â
âAlright.â
After agreeing, Lin Yi hung up and took a taxi to Liang Xiangheâs place.
In a certain military compound, Liang Ruoxu stood outside the training field, wearing a black down jacket and a white hat, wrapping herself tightly. However, from behind, her slender figure and delicate legs were still noticeable.
Compared to a typical family, the Liang family didnât seem to overreact to pregnancy.
Not like Ji Qingyanâs parents who acted as if they wanted to protect her under a cover.
At the moment, there were several people around Liang Ruoxuâs age, both men and women.
They all grew up with her, but over the years theyâve grown up and got busy with their stuff, only getting to meet during the New Year.
So every New Yearâs, they would gather to catch up and reminisce about their childhood.
âSis, itâs a bit chilly outside, donât stay out here, youâre our top priority now.â
The speaker was Chen Xi, who also has a very good relationship with Lin Yi, but it had been a long time since theyâd seen each other.
âDonât mention pregnancy, my mom makes me stay home every day, doesnât let me go anywhere, and I vomit whatever I eat, Iâm about to go crazy.â
âWhatâs there to fret about, youâre going to be a mom, itâs a joyous occasion, no matter how hard it is, itâs worth it.â
âWait until you are pregnant, then youâll know how painful it is.â Liang Ruoxu retorted:
âBy the way, is everything ready? Once Da Long and the others finish training, weâll go eat, itâs been so long since Iâve had a good meal.â
âItâs all been taken care of.â Chen Xi said: âBut are you sure itâs okay? If my brother-in-law finds out, wonât he beat me up?â
âHeâs busy with work in Jinyang, he doesnât have time to come to Yanjing,â said Liang Ruoxu.
âAlso, get some pickled vegetables and frozen tofu. Iâve been wanting to eat those for a long time. The ones in Zhong Hai arenât authentic at all.â
âIf thatâs what youâre saying, then Iâm not worried anymore,â Chen Xi said with a big smile.
About ten or so minutes later, the training on the field ended, and a bald, muscular man ran towards them. He was nearly 1.9 meters tall and weighed at least 200 kilograms, wearing only a light top that was drenched in sweat.
The manâs name was Zhang Zhao Long, and he used to be Liang Ruoxuâs sidekick. Wherever she pointed, he would hit; they had a very good relationship.
And as he grew up, it was only natural for him to join the military, where his future was promising.
âSis, how did I do just now? As long as itâs not more than ten, I can handle them without a problem,â Zhang Zhao Long boasted.
âYou look pretty good. Keep training well, and you might even move up the ranks.â
Zhang Zhao Long chuckled, âSis, can you give me some inside information? When is the Central Guards Brigade recruiting?â
âIâm not sure about that yet; Iâll ask around for you when the time comes.â
Liang Ruoxu was generous, after all, they were all her own people.
âLetâs hurry up, weâre just waiting for you. Everythingâs ready.â
âLetâs go, itâs cold outside. Youâre a protected species right now; letâs eat and talk.â
The group returned to the compound, where Zhang Zhao Longâs house was. He had his own place here, which naturally became the gathering spot for everyone.
As everyone came back, the hot pot ingredients were all ready.
âCome on, Sis Mi Li is back today, letâs have a good time,â Zhang Zhao Long called out.
âGive me a bottle,â said Liang Ruoxu. âEating lamb hotpot without alcohol is tasteless.â
âForget it,â Zhang Zhao Long hesitated, âIf Uncle Liang finds out, heâll kill me.â
âIf Uncle Liang doesnât kill you, your brother-in-law will.â
âHe wouldnât dare! Donât be scared; Iâve got your back,â said Liang Ruoxu with bravado, typical of a bold Yanjing girl, insisting on drinking even while pregnant.
Ring, ring, ringâ
Just then, Liang Ruoxuâs phone rang. It was a WeChat video call from Lin Yi.
âWow, brother-in-law is calling,â Chen Xi exclaimed.
âKeep it down,â Liang Ruoxu made a shushing gesture and hurriedly stood up, âQuiet down, I need to take a call.â
Liang Ruoxu hurried back to the bedroom and closed the door behind her, cutting off the noise from the living room to prevent Lin Yi from catching on to any mischief.
After quickly straightening herself up, Liang Ruoxu answered the video call.
âDid you take care of things in Jinyang?â
âWith Secretary Liang stepping in, there couldnât be any problems,â Lin Yi said.
âWhere are you? This doesnât look like your place.â
âIâm at my grandmotherâs. Iâve come back; naturally, I have to visit them,â Liang Ruoxu lied without batting an eye.
âThatâs right; the old couple should get a look at you,â said Lin Yi. âJust donât go scaring anyone away.â
âHow could that be? I know my situation; other than my home and grandmaâs, Iâm going nowhere.â
âBe careful with what you eat, and definitely no alcohol.â
âDonât worry, Iâm not stupid. How could I possibly drink?â
âOk then, I have to go; Iâm still busy.â
âAlright.â
After hanging up, Liang Ruoxu patted her chest, relieved to have deceived Lin Yi, and then she opened the door and walked out.
If he knew she snuck out to drink secretly, wouldnât he scold her to death?
But as soon as she opened the door, Liang Ruoxu was stunned.
