My Policewoman Lover [Complete] - 11

Chapter Seventy-Two: When the Peaches Ripen

As dusk deepened and the city lights began to twinkle in neon, the hotel gradually filled up, and the atmosphere grew increasingly lively. Liu Jing, brimming with confidence and self-assurance, completely overlooked the man-eating little tiger.

Liu Jing sat down casually, exuding an air of superiority.

The little tiger glanced at him coldly and moved the cups and plates: "Move over."

"Why?" Liu Jing was still savoring the afterglow of his arrogance.

"To sit with you." The little tiger's eyes were bright and clear, and she smiled sweetly, her post-drinking face exceptionally beautiful under the lights.

"Okay." Liu Jing obediently moved over, even though it was usually the women who sat there.

The moment the little tiger's butt touched the seat, she grabbed his ear: "Shameless bastard, what did you just say? How dare you say such a thing!"

"I...I didn't say anything?" Liu Jing looked completely innocent, staring blankly at Guo Guo. Guo Guo chuckled, saying nothing. The little tiger glanced at him quickly, then said fiercely, "Tell me, whose husband are you?"

"Of course yours." Liu Jing rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction. "Fangxi, you've had too much to drink. Do you even need to ask that?"

"Then what did you just say?" The little tiger grabbed his ear tightly. Liu Jing's brain raced. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I think I said you were bullying me because I can't drink. What's wrong with that? It was just a joke."

"A joke! Can you joke about something like that?" The little tiger pouted, looking aggrieved and angry. "Repeat what you said!"

Liu Jing became impatient and grabbed her hands. "I just said, 'You're making such a big fuss, bullying your husband because he can't drink?' What's there to be angry about?"

Guo Guo watched the commotion from across the table, leisurely and excitedly swirling her wine glass, her big eyes shining brightly through her glasses.

The little tiger was both angry and annoyed, her eyes full of grievance: "You said 'you all,' not 'you'!"

"Really? How could that be?" Liu Jing's heart skipped a beat. It seemed to be true, but he couldn't admit it. "Absolutely not. Don't believe me? Ask Guo Guo."

"Ahem!" Guo Guo raised her little hand, smiling, "I'll testify. I said 'you all.' I heard it, and I quite enjoyed it."

Liu Jing almost slipped under the table. This girl was too shameless, almost on par with Yu Xia. Wasn't this kicking someone when they were down? All these years, risking his life. In the end, he couldn't even get a single support. So frustrating!

"What else do you have to say?" The little tiger grabbed his ear again. She asked fiercely.

"I just said it casually, it was a slip of the tongue, I didn't even realize it myself." Liu Jing quickly grabbed her wrist to protect his ear. Throwing things away, choking him. Now grabbing his ear, who does this little tiger follow? Her randomness is too much!

"What do you mean, 'just saying'? You didn't even think about it, how could you say that?" The little tiger, turning his grievance into strength, fiercely pulled his ear. "Tell me honestly, are you having an affair with her?"

"What do you mean? Stop pulling, or you'll pull it off!"

"Stop it! Tell me now, tell me!" The little tiger pulled his ear, shaking his head vigorously.

Guo Guo couldn't stand it anymore, quickly putting down his cup and stopping shaking it: "Sister Zheng... Sister Zheng, stop pulling, it hurts my heart!"

The little tiger was furious: "What do you feel sorry for? He's not your husband! I'm warning you, he just misspoke, don't be so smug!"

"Can't I feel sorry for my godbrother?"

"Stop pretending. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking?" The little tiger finally let go, changing his tune.

"Does what I think matter? He's your boyfriend, and you're pulling him so hard, don't you have a heart?" Guo Guo glared, now serious.

The little tiger got angry and planted a kiss on his lover's cheek: "I'll pinch you first, then feel sorry for you, what's it to you? I'll make you furious!"

Guo Guo was both jealous and angry, her face changing rapidly , and she fell silent.

The little tiger, who had just been defeated, finally got his revenge, and stood up triumphantly: "I'm going to the bathroom, I'll let you off this time, but don't make that slip of the tongue again!"

Liu Jing smiled wryly, watching the little tiger leave with a swagger before turning away.

Guo Guo was still resentful, and Liu Jing sighed: "Forget it, don't be angry, that's just how she is, you should have noticed, she looks tough, but she's actually quite kind, her so-called calculativeness is all superficial."

"So what? I gave her my whole self, am I not kinder than her?

What does she have to calculate about?" Guo Guo pouted and turned her neck to look out the window.

Liu Jing was speechless, picked up her chopsticks and started eating. So much good food, finally she could have a bite. The night outside the window was warm and inviting

, with many couples strolling hand in hand under the lamplight. Guo Guo turned around and placed her arms on the table: "Come here."

"Why?" Liu Jing stopped eating. "Come here." Guo Guo's face was stern, her tone leaving no room for refusal. Helpless, Liu Jing put down his chopsticks and moved closer. Suddenly, Guo Guo hugged his head and kissed him heavily on the lips. "Hey!" Liu Jing exclaimed in surprise, quickly turning his head to look. Luckily, the little tiger hadn't come out. "Are you crazy? It'll be terrible if someone sees us!" "I don't care, who told her to make me angry?" Guo Guo stretched her neck and said, "Anyway, I won't let her! You two will be finished sooner or later, and I'll definitely wait until that day." Liu Jing didn't say anything more, pouring himself a glass of cola with infinite melancholy. He really had a headache; this girl's personality and her stubbornness were simply impossible to persuade. Afterwards, Liu Jing indulged in a hearty meal, letting the two girls bicker amidst the hotel's clamor, but he didn't let them drink any more; four bottles each was already quite a lot. He was pleased that the girls had complied with his insistence. The meal lasted a long time, until nine o'clock, when Liu Jing finally left with over three thousand yuan in receipts and a string of takeout boxes, the two girls still bickering behind him. The night was clear, the stars were faint, the moon was bright, and the sky was vast and mysterious. Feeling the presence of the two girls beside him, Liu Jing suddenly felt a deep sadness, because time always flies by too quickly. Though heaven and earth exist for eternity, this life is irreplaceable; though life may last a hundred years, this day passes most easily. He was also confused, because emotions are always difficult to understand. Holding hands, growing old together—he really wanted to know, when white hair crept onto his forehead, whose hand would he be holding? If life could be chosen again, he believed he wouldn't want to face it either, because he already knew how good both girls were. Guo Guo hopped on her bike, ready to leave. Liu Jing was a little worried: "Guo Guo, you've drunk so much, can you still ride a bike? Take a taxi home, I'll bring the bike back to you another day." "No need, I've drunk much more than this before!" Guo Guo waved her hand. She started the bike, "I'm off. Keep in touch!" "Who keeps in touch with you!" Little Tiger grumbled. "Hehe, I didn't tell you." "You..." Little Tiger wanted to say something, but the electric bike sped off amidst Guo Guo's smug laughter and quickly disappeared from sight. The night was gentle. The image of the little girl riding her bike was always so vivid in his mind. Liu Jing withdrew his gaze, picked up the things in his hand: "Fight! Fight her! More than three thousand yuan is gone just like that, are you satisfied now?" Fang Xi blushed and said embarrassedly: "Honey, I'm sorry, I won't let you buy me anything for at most six months." "I wasn't planning on buying you anything anyway!" "What did you say?" "Alright, let's go." Liu Jing put his arm around her shoulder and led her on a stroll down the road.

A stroll under the lamplight felt warm and cozy. Walking side-by-side, their shadows intertwined, allowed lovers to feel each other's quietest reliance. Little Tiger nestled beside his lover, a hint of jealousy in his voice: "Liu Jing, you've known her for so many years, don't you really like her?"

"Silly girl, is that even a question? Think about it from the other side and you'll understand." Liu Jing hugged her tightly, full of affection, yet also a touch of reproach.

"What do you mean by 'from the other side'?" Fang Xi asked, looking at him.

Liu Jing leaned in and kissed her cheek before explaining with a smile: "From the other side, it means that most men, even if they've been with their girlfriends for many years and have a very good relationship, would probably still abandon her if they were liked by the governor's daughter. To put it bluntly, a significant number of men in this situation would choose to be like Chen Shimei (a notorious figure in Chinese folklore known for abandoning his wife). Although I've known her for a few years, and you for a very short time, I haven't done that. Doesn't that say something?"

"You're quite eloquent," Fang Xi said, giving him a playful glare and wrapping her arms tightly around his waist, clearly satisfied with his answer. It cannot be denied that, in a sense, opportunity and fate are almost synonymous; many men who don't become Chen Shimei are mostly those who lack the opportunity.

"Of course, I may not have grand ambitions, but I value feelings most. Money and status are things I've always considered worthless." Like many boys in love, Liu Jing was no exception in boasting to his girlfriend.

Fang Xi didn't speak, only glanced at him softly, her heart filled with even greater joy. Like many girls in love, even knowing their boyfriends were exaggerating, they would still believe it wholeheartedly, and Little Tiger was no exception.

The night was clear and bright, the streets quiet and pleasant. The wind caressed Liu Jing's gentle face, the moon shone on Fang Xi's arched eyebrows, and the two whispered to each other as they walked back. Like many couples in love, they would walk happily for a long time.

Downstairs at Little Tiger's house, Fang Xi was reluctant to part, and it was time for a kiss goodbye.

Liu Jing put his things aside and led the girl to a relatively secluded spot, actually just a small corner behind a door against a large wall.

Fangxi turned around and looked at him, her eyes wide as she asked, "What are you planning to do now?"

"To do something very important," Liu Jing said seriously. Yuxia was already his official lover; who knew what would happen when they got back? Little Tiger was his girlfriend; besides the final hurdle, there was only one thing they hadn't done yet, and he wanted to offer it to his future wife.

"What is it?" Little Tiger asked innocently.

"Eat staple food," Liu Jing said with a smile, "I haven't eaten staple food tonight."

"What staple food?" Little Tiger didn't understand and looked at him strangely.

"Well, steamed buns." Liu Jing's gaze lowered, landing on her full breasts.

"You..." Little Tiger blushed and unconsciously clutched his collar.

Liu Jing grabbed her shoulders, looked into her eyes, and said, "Wife, we got the procedure wrong. I haven't touched your breasts yet; I have to touch them tonight, it's very important."

Fangxi was both ashamed and embarrassed, helplessly asking him, "What if someone sees us?"

"It's past ten o'clock, who would be here?" Liu Jing glanced around subconsciously and reached out his hand.

"Oh, husband, why are you always like this?" Fangxi was both ashamed and anxious, and even more helpless.

"It's okay, I like it." Liu Jing gently pulled her hand away and unbuttoned her top blouse.

Fang Xi's heart pounded, mixed with anticipation. She looked around warily and anxiously. Liu Jing nervously pulled her blouse apart and slipped his hand inside.

"Ugh! Husband, you're so bad!" Fang Xi pouted, playfully punching him, finally closing her eyes and pressing her warm face against his shoulder. Resistance was futile; she knew it, and she actually liked it too.

Liu Jing's heart pounded as he gently squeezed her bra a few times through it. He fully felt its elasticity, then reluctantly looked around.

The night was deep. A gentle breeze blew, and many windows emitted warm lights; occasionally, a figure flashed by in the distance. He observed for a while before carefully pushing her bra up. Fang Xi's body trembled. Her two white breasts were exposed to the cool night air. Liu Jing's eyes shone, his mouth agape, completely mesmerized.

The little tiger's breasts weren't large, but they were incredibly elastic, round and perfectly shaped, a lovely pinkish-white, with small areolas, perfectly centered. Two red cherries stood playfully and shyly. Under the moonlight, the two ripe and adorable peaches exuded an alluring fragrance, making one's mouth water.

So beautiful! Liu Jing exclaimed in amazement, clicking his tongue as he looked at the bra size: 32C, then gently grasped it; the size was perfect, just the right amount of pressure for him.

"Mmm." Fang Xi's pretty face flushed. She frowned slightly and let out a soft moan, "Husband, haven't you seen enough? I'm so embarrassed!"

"Don't rush, don't rush, it'll be over soon." Liu Jing licked his lips and gently helped her up. Fang Xi was still a little dazed when Liu Jing lowered his head and began to kiss her.

"Ah!" A tingling pleasure surged through Fang Xi's chest, and she couldn't help but cry out. She then bit her lip, forcing her eyes open wide, glancing around.

The night sky fell gently silent, the moon blushed, and quietly hid behind the clouds. Only the wind, silent and playful, swirled around them. This secluded spot was filled with their sweet and touching tenderness.

Liu Jing kissed and pinched her breasts repeatedly, making soft smacking sounds, leaving large wet patches on Fang Xi's breasts.

"Uh...ah!...ah ah!" Fang Xi finally couldn't help but moan, closing her eyes and tightly hugging her lover's head.

After a long while, Liu Jing reluctantly got up, his gaze still not leaving the ample area of her breasts.

"You...you bad boy!" Fang Xi's face was flushed, like a rosy cloud, and she leaned languidly against him.

Liu Jing's chest was full of joy, and he considerately adjusted her bra and clothes, then held her tightly in his arms, facing the bright moon that had reappeared. Fang Xi's breathing calmed down a bit, and she punched him hard: "You bad boy, all you know how to do is take advantage of me!"

"What do you mean by taking advantage of me? This is called eating steamed buns!" Liu Jing chuckled. The little tiger's face flushed red, and he punched her again. "I'm warning you, if you dare to bully anyone again, I won't let you off!"

Liu Jing looked at the beautiful girl in front of him and smiled. "This isn't my fault, it's just that your breasts are too beautiful. Hmm, your bra is too much of a hindrance. You don't need to wear it at home anymore, I can eat it anytime."

"You're getting carried away!" Fang Xi blushed and pointed at him. "I'm asking you, when did it become your turn to speak in our family? Who do you listen to?"

Liu Jing smiled. "Of course I listen to you. But your body is an exception, it belongs to me, no discussion about that."

"What did you say! Say it again?" Fang Xi bulged her eyes and tried to pull his ear again.

Liu Jing dodged. "Silly girl, you always like her but are too shy, how can I not take the initiative!"

"You're talking nonsense! Who likes her?" The little tiger was both shy and happy, and exasperated.

"Alright, if you like her, you like her, that's normal, what's there to be embarrassed about!" Liu Jing tightened his arms and pulled her into his embrace.

"You bad boy!" Fangxi wanted to say something, but after struggling a couple of times without success, she could only shrink into his arms.

With parting imminent, the two shared a deep kiss. As their lips parted, Liu Jing cupped her face and said, "Little Tiger, I won't be looking for you for the next two days. Spend more time with Mom."

"Why? Are you going out again?" Fangxi felt a pang of sadness.

"No," Liu Jing smiled, excitedly saying, "I got two electric scooters from Yuxia, one of them is for you. I'm going to make something by hand to surprise you, and then I'll give you the scooter along with it." "

What is it?"

"If I told you, would it still be a surprise?" Liu Jing said confidently, "But I guarantee you'll love it."

"Alright then, I won't ask anymore." The little tiger was extremely reluctant, then pitifully wrapped her arms around his neck. "But Liu Jing, two days is too long. I can't bear not seeing you."

"Hmm, then how about this?" Liu Jing was equally reluctant, holding the girl tightly in his arms. "Don't eat in the cafeteria tomorrow and the day after. I'll come find you, and we'll have lunch together."

"That's more like it." The little tiger finally smiled with satisfaction and offered her her lips again.

Under the bright moon, the two kissed goodbye once more.

"Take this upstairs." Before Fang Xi went upstairs, Liu Jing handed her the packed food.

Fang Xi looked at it, then felt a little embarrassed: "Never mind, there's so much. My mom and I can't finish it. You take it home and give it to Sister Qin's child."

"Okay." Liu Jing nodded awkwardly. Fang Xi was too kind; he felt incredibly ashamed.

The little tiger reluctantly went upstairs, while Liu Jing embarked on his journey home. The road ahead was brightly lit.

Chapter Seventy-Three: The Scent of Grass

The moonlight was bright that night, and the coolness on his skin was palpable. Liu Jing, carrying a groceries box, hurried home, his thin shirt shivering in the night wind. He believed the saying that the nerves were more effective at perceiving the surroundings than the eyes; May wasn't summer yet, and even the brightest moon was merely a reflection of the sun.

He habitually looked up; the warm light emanating from the window seemed to soften his loneliness, brightening his heart. This was a new habit; he knew someone was waiting for him to come home. It was warm to have someone waiting for him at home.

Some say warmth is similar to a certain feeling: loneliness. Strange, how could warmth be similar to loneliness? Now he understood; the person waiting found warmth in loneliness.

At the door, Liu Jing was taking out his keys when the door opened, revealing Yu Xia's warm smile.

"Honey, you're back?"

"Yes." Liu Jing entered, handing over the things he was carrying.

"Wow! So much." Yu Xia picked them up and looked at them, waiting quietly at the door.

Liu Jing changed his shoes, staring at the woman before him with a mixture of surprise and awe.

Yu Xia was different tonight; her beautiful face was slightly flushed, a hint of shyness tinged with nervousness, as if she were about to whisper a tender confession and a faint smile. She wasn't wearing her classic pajamas; instead, a light-colored shirt was impeccably tailored, outlining her mature and perfect curves. She exuded the gentlest aura of both a young girl and a mature woman, a natural fusion of reserve and sensuality, simply breathtaking.

Women are like water, their tenderness unquenchable. Beyond her usual flamboyant appearance and alluring charm, Liu Jing saw a gentle, captivating allure emanating from her very bones.

Yu Xia winked at him, offering a flirtatious and playful smile.

Liu Jing regained his composure and finished changing his shoes. Yu Xia put down what she was carrying and nestled into his arms, her warm body instantly melting away his moonlit chill.

"Today you're officially my husband, understand?" Yu Xia looked up at him, earnest as a child.

"Yes, I know." Liu Jing embraced the woman, completely at ease. He told himself to be at ease.

"Then today is my second wedding day, you know!" Yu Xia said persistently and stubbornly.

"Yes, I know." Liu Jing smiled, pulling her head onto his shoulder, "It's also my first wedding day."

Yu Xia smiled beautifully, her face, nestled on his shoulder, filled with joy and coquettishness, and a touch of grievance; Liu Jing held her tightly, deeply moved, inhaling the fragrant scent of her hair. This journey has passed so quickly. Unconsciously, a responsibility has been added to his shoulders, and he still couldn't quite understand it. It always felt like a dream. Perhaps it was something he owed in a past life, it must be, if there was a past life.

Yu Xia slowly turned her head, searching for his lips. Closer, infinitely close, but without contact.

"Husband, do you like me?" In this state of infinite closeness, on this special day, Yu Xia brought up the old question again.

"I like you."

"Do you really like me?"

"I think so." Liu Jing said honestly. The breath from Yu Xia's mouth made him a little confused, perhaps.

"Ugh! Can't you say something I want to hear at a time like this?" Yu Xia tightened her grip, opening her fragrant lips and offering them to him. Since the answer to his question wasn't satisfactory, he might as well let actions speak for themselves.

Liu Jing knew very well how important this day was to Yu Xia, so without hesitation, he proactively extended his tongue. Their tongues met midway, and upon brief contact, Yu Xia greedily sucked them away.

Like her body, Yu Xia's mouth had a special fragrance, like an aphrodisiac spring breeze. Though not intense, it was lingering. Neat pearly teeth, soft fragrant tongue, strands of saliva, and soft breaths—all exuded an intoxicating sweetness.

Liu Jing felt a little dizzy and unconsciously increased the strength of his arms. Yu Xia raised her arms, cupping his face, their tongues, mixed with saliva, passionately intertwined, rolled, and swallowed, like a raging fire.

Their first real kiss was intense yet tender.

Liu Jing's lower body throbbed, and his hands, through his underpants, instinctively caressed the woman's plump, beautiful buttocks. Yu Xia let out soft moans, her beautiful eyes, occasionally slightly raised, dreamy and shimmering, perfectly matching his actions as she thrust out her warm lower abdomen, twisting her buttocks, grinding hard against him.

So comfortable! Liu Jing finally couldn't resist reaching inside and grasping those two incredibly plump buttocks.

"Ugh!" Yu Xia suddenly opened her eyes and pushed him away.

Liu Jing was stunned for a moment, then stood up, still in shock. Yu Xia glared at him, raising her alluring eyebrows and saying, "What, in a hurry? Is it time?"

Liu Jing smiled wryly, "Yu Xia, are you being reasonable? You're clearly teasing me on purpose!"

Yu Xia chuckled, then wrapped her arms around his neck, raising her eyebrows and asking, "Fine, then, you're being unreasonable? Tonight is my wedding night, what are you going to do?"

"What else can I do? If you want it, you can have it." Liu Jing smiled and kissed her lips, a hint of flattery in his voice.

"You little brat!" Yu Xia glared at him, squatted down, and unzipped her pants.

"What are you doing?" Liu Jing swallowed hard, asking with a hint of fear.

Yu Xia pulled out his hard member and said in a strange tone, "I'm just letting you relieve your pent-up desire. You're in a different position now, you're the head of the household. If you act impulsively and put someone in an awkward position, and then don't give in, wouldn't I be the one who suffers?"

Liu Jing felt quite guilty and quickly helped her up, saying sincerely, "Yu Xia, I told you, if I hadn't met Little Tiger first, I would have married you without hesitation. I meant it from the bottom of my heart, I really didn't mean anything else. I want to keep it for a while because I've already felt very sorry for her, and I want to make myself feel better. Don't blame me, okay?"

"Silly boy, what don't I know better than you? Do you need to say it?" Yu Xia cupped his face and kissed him. "I'm a woman, I just get a little jealous and vent a little. If you really understand me, then hurry up."

"Thank you, I will." Liu Jing was both embarrassed and grateful. "I promise, I will definitely treat you well from now on, very well."

"Who knows?" Yu Xia was gently touched, pinching his cheek. "You're only good with words, you little man!"

Liu Jing laughed, "Even if I'm good with words, I'm not as good as you."

"Hehe, is that so?" Yu Xia's eyes were alluring, her slender hand reaching down to gently grasp his. "Do you want to do it again? It's okay, anyway, you're the boss in our family, I was born to serve you."

Liu Jing blushed and didn't speak. He hadn't thought about it before, but now that she mentioned it, he really wanted to.

Yu Xia leaned in and gently kissed his lips, slowly sliding down her body, burying herself between his legs, opening her sexy mouth... Liu Jing erupted again, after being gently raped by Yu Xia at his doorstep that afternoon, following the incident in the uniformed office.

Afterwards, the two prepared to go into their room. Liu Jing picked up the food container, then suddenly remembered something: "Yu Xia, um... did you brush your teeth or rinse your mouth this afternoon?"

Yu Xia was startled, then kicked him hard in the butt: "You little brat, I haven't even complained about you yet, and you're already complaining about me!"

"Just kidding!" Liu Jing laughed, putting his arm around her shoulder.

Yu Xia twisted away, looking at him with a half-smile: "Really kidding?"

"Really, just teasing you." Liu Jing said with a smile.

Yu Xia flashed a sweet smile: "Okay, how about another kiss?"

"Ah! Now?" Liu Jing was shocked and turned to run.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Yu Xia raised her knee to brace against his knee, grabbed his right arm, and slapped him on the shoulder, sending Liu Jing sprawling backwards to the ground. Although she was a traffic policeman, Yu Xia's four years at the Criminal Investigation Academy were clearly not for nothing, especially as she was a cadet captain.

"Ouch! The food's spilled!"

"So what if it's spilled!" Yu Xia flipped over and straddled him, grabbing his head and kissing him.

A kiss, a real kiss, they kissed passionately on the floor, the scent of fresh grass lingering. Liu Jing was annoyed. He should have known this girl liked to play pranks; why did he have to cause trouble?

After making a scene at the door for so long, the two finally went inside. Yu Xia was heating up the food in the kitchen, and Liu Jing brought her the dishes he'd brought back. Looking at the expensive dishes before her, Yu Xia exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, honey, when did you become so generous?"

"Sigh, don't even mention it." Liu Jing sighed and turned to leave.

Yu Xia threw down the large spatula and grabbed him, pulling him back. "I'm not doing this anymore! You're not being fair! What's wrong with you? You haggle over two yuan for a banana for my daughter, but you're so generous with them? Are you bullying me?"

Liu Jing knew she was just being dramatic and asked curiously, "How did you know my girlfriend was there too?" He told Yu Xia to ride back on her electric scooter; logically, she should have assumed she hadn't brought Little Tiger.

"Is that even a question?" Yu Xia chuckled, pushing him away. "A man wouldn't be so generous unless he's asking for favors. Only a woman would order so many dishes if she were jealous."

"Oh." Liu Jing nodded, saying nothing more, his expression slightly somber.

Yu Xia glanced at him and turned off the stove. "Never mind, it's almost midnight. Let's not eat. Talk to each other for a while."

"Why aren't we eating? It's okay, I'll keep you company." Liu Jing felt a little guilty because of today's occasion. Yu Xia had prepared so much; she must have wanted to celebrate with him. He had not only come home late but had also affected his mood.

"It doesn't matter, I'll eat tonight." Yu Xia stood in front of him, gazing deeply at him. "Honey, don't overthink it. I don't care about formalities. You did a great job today, really. I'm very happy."

Liu Jing was overwhelmed with emotion, unsure what to say. He stroked her face and lowered his head to kiss her. Yu Xia giggled, pressing against his chest: "Aren't you disgusted again?"

Liu Jing smiled wryly and awkwardly, looking at her red lips.

Yu Xia's eyes were captivating, and she whispered seductively in his ear: "Honey, I'm not lying to you, I really like your taste. Give me another time later."

Liu Jing was speechless, utterly speechless. What a wanton woman!

Yu Xia winked, chuckling as she pushed him away: "Go take a shower, I'll be there after I'm done."

Chapter Seventy-Four: The Chain of Love

Only a small, dim red lamp was on in the room. The moon hung softly outside the window, its light enchanting and ambiguous, like a dreamlike illusion. Qin Yu Xia curled up her sexy body, lying on the spacious, soft waterbed. A thin blanket draped over her shoulders, and her long, beautiful bare feet stretched out outside the blanket, her toenails shimmering with a dreamy blue, somewhat alluring in the moonlight.

Liu Jing stood by the door, drying his wet hair, staring at the breathtaking scene before him.

"Husband, come in?" Yu Xia gently lifted the thin blanket over her with clear eyes and a soft voice, revealing a perfect body. She wasn't naked; a wide silk robe was half-open, revealing the edges of her enormous breasts. The hem of the robe was casually draped behind her, exposing her snow-white thighs completely. In the center were embroidered lace panties, exuding a mixed scent of Yu Xia's body and purple poison.

"This is deadly!" Liu Jing shook his head inwardly, threw away the towel, and got into bed.

Before he could even settle down, Yu Xia clung to him like an octopus.

"Hey, don't move!" Liu Jing held her steady, making her behave. "Why are you dressed so provocatively?"

"Of course, it's for you to see!" Yu Xia cupped his face, smiling as she kissed his lips. "You're my husband, and tonight is our wedding night. Since I can't let you love me, I have to let you see me properly!"

"See what? Won't that just make me feel worse?" Liu Jing swallowed, annoyed. "You're not allowed to dress so revealingly without my permission."

"Hehe, what are you afraid of?" Yu Xia grabbed his freshly washed member inside his shorts and began to gently stroke it. "Isn't there me? I'll help you."

Liu Jing felt a pang of selfishness. "Yu Xia, I'm just offering some psychological comfort. How about I do it with you now?"

"Forget it." Yu Xia pulled her hand away, rolling her eyes. "You should play with her first. Otherwise, after you've tasted me, you won't be interested in her anymore, and then you'll blame me."

Liu Jing smiled wryly; there was some truth to that. With the little tiger, fear and excitement were the main feelings; Yu Xia was different, an absolute beauty. Her outward beauty and generosity, and her seductive and wanton behavior in bed, could easily arouse his most primal desire to conquer. Even before they actually did it, he had already deeply experienced that dazzling sense of turmoil and the urge to conquer.

Yu Xia pouted. She said with a hint of grievance, "Now you know, where else can you find a wife as good as me?"

"Yes, I admit it." Liu Jing nodded, gently stroking her face. "Yu Xia, you're really good, I'm so lucky. I guess I must have owed you in my past life."

"You're so good at talking, you owe me? I'm the one who owes you!" Yu Xia couldn't help but laugh, burying her head in his chest.

Liu Jing laughed, passionately stroking her side and thighs, swallowing hard. Yu Xia's body shimmered with carnal allure. Her signature large breasts are not only big and round, but also firm and perky. What's even more remarkable is their high, upturned tops. They are perfectly round when viewed from the front, and a standard triangle when viewed from above and below, embodying both types of feminine breast beauty. She also has a long, slender neck, broad shoulders and hips, long, white, and firm legs, an incredibly slender waist, and apart from her large buttocks, there isn't an ounce of excess fat on her body.

Liu Jing shook his head, sighing repeatedly, "Yu Xia, your figure is perfect. Except for your slim waist, everything else is big. How did you grow up like this?"

"Sigh, who can argue with that?" Yu Xia sighed, her right hand unconsciously fiddling with the buttons on his chest, as if wrapping a tender feeling around his heart. "Everyone says I can have a son, but I still had a girl."

"That's all nonsense." Liu Jing chuckled. "A figure only has something to do with the ease of childbirth, not whether it's a boy or a girl."

"But I like sons." Yu Xia wrapped her arms around his neck, looking at him eagerly. "Honey, when things are more stable, will you have a son with me? You're sure you can give birth. Then I can quit my job and stay home to take care of the child."

"Okay, we'll have one when we have the chance." Liu Jing held the woman in his arms, his expression somewhat wistful. Yu Xia looked him over and asked tentatively, "What's wrong? Is that little reporter giving you a headache?"

"Yeah." Liu Jing nodded, somewhat helplessly, "She's very stubborn and hard to persuade. She insists that we're destined to be husband and wife, and she's convinced that Little Tiger and I will break up sooner or later. But isn't that just delaying her own life?"

Yu Xia sighed and rolled her eyes. "Sigh, what can I do? If she had my mentality, you'd be thrilled."

"Come on," Liu Jing laughed and kissed her forehead. "I'm a man, not Superman. I already have a little tiger, and you, this tigress, are enough to overwhelm me. Where would I find any joy?"

Yu Xia giggled, then suddenly said, "Hey, let me tell you, that's not necessarily true.

I have a junior at the Criminal Investigation Academy who used to be a top policewoman in the area. She resigned, and her husband has four wives, all beautiful, and they live together like sisters."

"Really? Is he a Muslim?" Liu Jing didn't believe it at all.

"What? He's Chinese." Yu Xia became very talkative, adjusting her posture. "Her husband is a lawyer!"

"You make it sound so real. Do you know him?" Liu Jing asked, half-believing.

“Of course I know him,” Yu Xia said indignantly. “My junior from elementary school has a son who’s seven or eight months old. If it weren’t for my husband’s accident, I would have attended his one-month celebration.”

“Really?” Liu Jing believed her, but didn’t take it seriously. “That’s a special case. No matter the era, there are always exceptions.”

“That’s true. She’s rich.” Yu Xia said seriously. “Her husband is a top lawyer. Two of his four wives are real estate tycoons, and the other is also a lawyer. My junior is so lucky. She’s a stay-at-home wife who doesn’t have to do anything.”

“Who is he? He’s involved with so many high-class women, a policewoman and a tycoon, and even a female lawyer is joining in. Isn’t that breaking the law?” Liu Jing protested.

"Hehe, you're not bad either," Yu Xia hugged him and kissed him. "You have two now, and you've got the governor's daughter as a backup. Besides, I'm a policewoman too, I'm no worse than her in any way. I'm even more famous than her!"

"Yeah, you're no worse than her, but I'm not." Liu Jing cupped her face and kissed her back. "I'm not as rich as her, and you still want to be a rich lady, even if I had you, I couldn't afford to support you."

"That is a problem. If I give you another son, I definitely won't be able to work anymore." Yu Xia frowned and thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up. "How about this, I'm about to get promoted. I'll talk to the leaders, quit being a squad leader, try to get transferred to a battalion commander position, and then make a lot of money before retiring."

"Corruption?" Liu Jing was shocked. "You'd better not, or you'll end up in jail before you've made any money!"

"What corruption?" Yu Xia punched him lightly. "It's not uncommon to get paid for doing things these days. I'll just do a few more favors for people!"

"That won't do!" Liu Jing flatly refused. "You just focus on being a good squad leader. Leave the money-making to me. I promise I won't let you down." "

Alright then. My little man, I'll be counting on you from now on!" Yu Xia giggled and nestled gently against his chest.

Liu Jing checked the time; it was past midnight. He nudged her gently. "Yu Xia, go to sleep. Duo Duo needs to pee."

Yu Xia reluctantly sat up. She gave him a light kiss on the lips, straightened her robe, and went back to her room. The two spent their so-called wedding night chatting casually.

The next morning, after breakfast, Liu Jing told Yu Xia that he would be back late for the next couple of days and that she didn't need to wait for him. He then rode his electric scooter to take Duo Duo to kindergarten.

The morning sun was bright and warm, just like Duo Duo's excited mood. As every morning, the little girl chattered on and on, asking the same old but ever-new questions. Liu Jing answered them all, suddenly feeling a pang of guilt. Since Yu Xia had stayed with him for a few days, aside from taking Duo Duo to kindergarten, he'd been practically invisible, not even thinking about doing anything for the child. Now things were different; he truly had to take on the responsibility of being a father, possibly for life. He silently told himself he would show more fatherly love in the future.

Saying goodbye to the adorable Duo Duo, Liu Jing went to work, making his usual trip, but without much success. But he didn't care; he couldn't expect to succeed every day.

It was nearly noon when he returned to the company, and he went straight to the production area at the back. That night at the movie theater, Little Tiger had mentioned that her ex-boyfriend was a scientist, and he'd boasted about making her an invention. Now, he was ready to put his promise into action. With electric bike theft rampant, he wanted to use his expertise to personally craft an incredibly sturdy chain lock for her—a practical and heartfelt expression of love. He gave his chain lock a loving name: the Heart Chain Lock.

Entering the factory area, Liu Jing was greeted by a cacophony of voices and the roar of machinery, his heart pounding with excitement. He had interned for several months at a heavy machinery factory in Northwest China, and he could never forget those vibrant days and the honest smiles of the workers. Whenever he heard those sounds, he felt a deep sense of warmth, as if he were one of them. Of course, this was just a feeling; he didn't actually want to go back. Those warm sounds were enough to make his ears ring, leaving his head buzzing every day after work.

He headed straight for a workshop, intending to borrow a key from a familiar foreman to start work that evening. A young worker emerged from the workshop, lighting a cigarette as he walked. Liu Jing casually asked, "Master, is Director Zhu here?"

"No," the man replied coldly, without even glancing at him, and walked past.

Damn, this foreman wasn't smiling at all, not at all kind. He wanted to ask when he could return, but had to give up.

Liu Jing didn't know many people in the factory area, so he decided to go back first and come back in the afternoon. He walked back with his head down, and as he turned a corner, he bumped into an acquaintance: Sun Xi, the chief secretary. Although this guy had been assigned to Workshop Two, he was the branch secretary. General Manager Zhao was still quite considerate, at least saving face for both sides.

This guy was smoking a cigarette not too far away, his hands in his pockets, still with that gloomy expression and repulsive face. When Sun Xi saw him, he hesitated for a moment before coming forward. Liu Jing had no choice but to stop and wave insincerely.

"Isn't this Little Liu? What brings you to the factory?" Sun Xi stopped in front of him, his attitude much more normal.

"I was looking for Director Zhu, but he wasn't here."

"Old Zhu? He went to Wuhan and won't be back until next week."

"Oh, I see." Liu Jing couldn't help but show disappointment. To use the workshop, he had to find a director-level leader, and he was only familiar with Old Zhu, so he would inevitably have to wait until next week.

Sun Xi sized him up and asked, "What do you want with him? Personal or business?"

"Personal,"

Sun Xi said, throwing his cigarette butt on the ground and stomping it out. "Tell me about it, see if I can help."

"I want to make something myself, and I need a lathe," Liu Jing hesitated slightly before telling the truth. There was nothing shameful about it.

"Why don't you just work in our workshop?" This guy was quite enthusiastic.

Liu Jing was surprised, but didn't stand on ceremony. "Isn't your workshop all assembly lines?

I need more than just a lathe; I also need a planer."

"We have both lathes and planers now," Sun Xi readily took the keys from his waist. "Actually, finding Old Zhu wouldn't have helped. They have night shifts. Our workshop may be a bit rough, but there's no one around at night, so you can do whatever you want in peace."

"How could I possibly accept that?" Liu Jing was touched, feeling an unprecedented sincerity.

"Don't mention it," Sun Xi said, handing him two keys. "This is the workshop gate, and this is my office. It's fully equipped. If you're tired, you can go in for a drink and a rest. You can also go back to sleep if you don't want to."

Liu Jing took the key. He said sincerely, "Thank you."

"No need. Just let me know if you need anything else." Sun Xi nodded. "Okay, that's all. I'll head over now."

"You're busy. I'll return it to you when I'm done."

"No rush, I have a spare."

Sun Xi waved and turned to leave. The conflict between them wasn't mentioned at all; it was all understood without words—a very manly gesture.

Watching his retreating figure, Liu Jing felt a warm sense of gratitude and excitement welling up inside him. Compared to a secretary, he felt Sun Xi was more suited to work in the workshop. At that moment, the image of Secretary Sun's sullen face became incredibly honest in his mind.

"Don't judge a book by its cover!" Liu Jing exclaimed as he walked away.

Liu Jing was a lathe operator, not a locksmith, so to make chain locks, he first had to buy a lock. He carefully selected one, spending over two hundred yuan on a safe lock that required a combination key before opening; he was confident this type of lock would be secure.

That evening, Liu Jing quickly ate something and went to the second workshop to start working. It must be mentioned that Liu Jing was a meticulous person with outstanding professional skills, which had surprised even veteran technicians during his internship. From childhood to adulthood, Liu Jing had always learned things very well, not because he was particularly intelligent—within the normal range, differences in human intelligence are not significant in learning; personality plays a more decisive role.

Liu Jing always believed that the chances of success are greater when one focuses on one thing. Therefore, he was very dedicated to anything he truly wanted to do, such as learning poetry, machining, or even pursuing a girlfriend.

Liu Jing worked feverishly for two days, working until midnight on the first day and until 2 AM on the second. Finally, his first completely self-designed and manufactured piece: the Heart Chain Lock, was unveiled.

The lock consists of ninety-nine heart-shaped aluminum-titanium alloy rings, symbolizing eternity. At each end of the lock are two heart-shaped pouches made of pure titanium, one with a safety lock welded inside, and the other with an arrow inserted. When the lock is closed, the two heart-shaped pouches close together to form two connected hearts. The lock also has a heart-shaped flap for setting the combination and unlocking.

Furthermore, he engraved sixteen characters on the lock: "Heart Chain Lock, a perfect match, hearts intertwined, forever united."

Looking at the chain lock he had made, gleaming brightly under the lamp, like silver and snow, Liu Jing was wide awake, his heart pounding with excitement. He could almost see the little tiger's joyful tears streaming down her face. He had no doubt that she would be moved for a lifetime, and their love would be even stronger because of it.

Of course, the safety of the electric bike was also a given.

The next day, Liu Jing rode his electric bike, carrying the chain lock he had made, and went to have lunch with the little tiger with an air of arrogance. The midday sun was scorching, baking the road like fire. Cars streamed by, emitting polluted exhaust fumes.

"Electric bikes are so much better, so environmentally friendly," he muttered dismissively as he rode.

At the entrance of the Municipal Youth League Committee, Fang Xi waved excitedly towards him from afar.

Liu Jing stopped beside her, and Fang Xi's eyes widened as she stepped forward: "This is the electric bike you asked me for?"

"That's right," Liu Jing said proudly. To maintain the mystery and surprise, he deliberately didn't ride it for the past two days, even though the bike was exactly the same as Guo Guo's; and even though the chain lock was already enough to surprise her.

"And what's your surprise?" Fang Xi asked expectantly.

"Close your eyes, I'll give it to you right away."

"What is it? It's so mysterious." Fang Xi glanced at him, reluctantly, but obediently closed her eyes.

Although Fang Xi closed her eyes, she couldn't hide her excitement; even her eyelashes trembled slightly. Actually, it was the wind. Liu Jing was very satisfied with her expression and carefully took the chain lock from the helmet case.

Liu Jing placed the chain lock on her head. Fang Xi's eyelids twitched, and he quickly shouted, "Don't open your eyes!"

"Ugh, hurry up! It's been two days, I'm so impatient!" Fang Xi closed her eyes tightly and shouted anxiously. Two days had passed, and they hadn't had a date that night. She desperately wanted to know what her lover had made for her; she was racking her brains.

Liu Jing smiled and gently put the chain lock around her neck.

"Ah!" Fangxi exclaimed, opening her eyes to see the pair of intertwined hearts hanging on her chest.

She gently removed the chain and examined it closely. Each small heart-shaped ring and the two joined hearts shone brightly in the sunlight. She held it dear, her eyes sparkling with excitement and reverence, her lips trembling slightly, revealing the immense joy, happiness, and excitement within her.

Liu Jing gazed quietly, his eyes filled with contentment, his heart overflowing with tenderness. He realized that making the girl he loved happy was such a wonderful feeling.

"The chain of hearts, perfectly matched, intertwined, forever united." After reading these sixteen characters of love's inscription, Fangxi abruptly looked up, her excitement and joy, her happiness and tears, finally bursting forth uncontrollably.

"Oh, honey, you're so good to me! I love you so much! I promise, I'll only ever love you for the rest of my life!" The little tiger pounced on him, hugging his head and endlessly pecking and kissing his face with her hot, tear-stained lips. It

was exactly as he'd imagined, even more so. Liu Jing held the little tiger's delicate body, his sense of accomplishment indescribable.

"Do you like it?" Liu Jing cupped the girl's face, kissing her as he asked.

"I love it, I'll love it for the rest of my life." The little tiger wrapped her arms around his neck, her face still streaked with tears of joy.

"Now you know, it's not just scientists who invent things. As long as you have love, I can do anything for you," Liu Jing boasted, seizing the opportunity.

Fangxi smiled mischievously, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand: "Honey, you're the greatest husband in the world, the most amazing husband, the best husband ever! Nobody can compare to you!"

"Yeah, I'm glad you know. Let's go eat." Liu Jing secretly sweated a little after his boasting went too far.

Liu Jing would never forget that noon, not only for Fangxi's happiness, but also for the happiest lunch of his life.

The little tiger cried and laughed; sometimes looking at the chain lock, sometimes personally feeding him, sometimes hugging and kissing him, completely oblivious to the stares of the other diners.

After lunch, the two kissed goodbye on the street, promising to meet again that evening. The little tiger even promised to personally pick him up on his bike. Under Fangxi's loving gaze, sparkling with light, Liu Jing left calmly and quietly. His posture was unusually humble.

The entire afternoon, Liu Jing was immersed in a profound sense of happiness and accomplishment, until he received a call from the little tiger before leaving work.

"What's wrong, Fangxi?" Liu Jing asked casually.

"Honey, it's lost."

"What? The electric scooter is gone in just half a day! How is that possible?" Liu Jing stood up abruptly.

Fangxi was overwhelmed with grief, her voice trembling with tears: "The electric scooter isn't gone, but the chain is."

"Bang!" Someone collapsed to the ground.

Chapter Seventy-Five: Halfway In

"Courage and cowardice depend on the law, success and failure depend on wisdom." A successful person needs more than just intelligence. Intelligence represents IQ, and modern science has proven that IQ is an innate physiological quality, not a factor in success. What's important is calmness, especially calmness when needed. Only with calmness can one make the right judgment.

The loss of the love chain lock in just a few hours was undoubtedly a disaster for Fangxi, but for Liu Jing, the salesman who designed and manufactured the chain lock and was originally a machinist, it wasn't necessarily a bad thing. He wasn't frustrated or sad; instead, he remained calm. This wasn't surprising; he had always been a calm person, and when calmness was needed, he could always calm down quickly and effectively.

Buying the box and returning the pearl might be foolish, but that's just a legend; stealing the lock instead of the car, while not particularly clever, has profound practical significance, at least proving that the lock's value surpasses the car's in some aspects. Connecting this to his previous conversation with Yu Xia, Liu Jing calmly realized: this was a chance to make a fortune.

Liu Jing smiled, a genuine smile, even though he had lost the chain lock he had painstakingly made.

The phone on the table rang; it was Little Tiger again. He answered with one sentence: "Okay, I'll be right down."

"Damn thief! His whole family was killed by that electric scooter!" Liu Jing cursed viciously, then got up and left. Although he had received a major revelation, it didn't mean he didn't hate such behavior.

The evening breeze of late summer was so light and gentle. Little Tiger, wearing a short-sleeved t-shirt and light blue jeans, stood on the side of the street, leaning on her electric scooter. Tears still clung to her face, and the wind made her ponytail sway.

"Tsk tsk tsk! My Fangxi is even more beautiful than a car model!" Liu Jing exclaimed sincerely, looking at her from afar.

Fangxi looked haggard, her face etched with sorrow. When she saw him, tears welled up in her eyes again.

"Husband!" Fangxi cried as she rushed forward.

"Don't cry, don't cry!" Liu Jing quickly comforted her. "Silly girl, it's just a scooter lock, what's there to cry about?"

"I'm so sad! I didn't even get to see it properly before it was gone!" Little Tiger bumped into his arms, her pretty face streaked with tears.

"Don't worry, don't worry, it's not your fault." Liu Jing led her to sit down on a nearby flower bed. "Fangxi, this is due to my poor design. I'll continue working on it tonight and make you another one, I guarantee it won't be stolen again."

"Forget it. Now that you've finished, I'll keep it and never use it to lock my bike again." Fangxi felt a little relieved and showed her rationality.

"Hehe, whatever you want." Liu Jing took her hand and said seriously, "Fangxi, have you ever thought that every cloud has a silver lining? This might be a good thing."

"What good thing?" Fangxi rubbed her face and asked with wide, teary eyes.

Liu Jing stared into her eyes and said excitedly, "Think about it, the thief opened the lock but didn't steal the bike, what does that mean? It means that this guy might not be a professional thief, he was attracted by the lock. You like it so much. The thief likes it so much too. Think about it further, if this lock were placed on a supermarket counter, how many people would it attract? What kind of effect would it have? What would it bring us?"

Liu Jing paused at the right moment, waiting for her reaction. But he was disappointed. Fang Xi didn't react as he expected, at least not with the expected excitement. Instead, she was calm—yes, calm, even her eyes had turned cold.

"This might be our chance to make a fortune," Liu Jing said, not quite understanding the little tiger's expression, and directly threw money at her.

Fang Xi looked at him reproachfully, staring at him and said, "I'm asking you, is money more important, or am I?"

"This...isn't that obvious?" Liu Jing understood, and felt dejected. "Of course you're more important. Even if all the money in the world were added together, I wouldn't sell you!"

Fang Xi's gaze softened again, and she gently took his hand: "Husband, I admit what you said makes sense, but this lock was made for me by you. I want it to be unique, so that only I have it in the whole world. Do you understand?"

"I understand, of course I understand," Liu Jing said weakly.

Fang Xi leaned against his shoulder: "Husband, thank you. Losing that one doesn't count. Make me another one, and this time, engrave my name on it. I want to cherish it for a lifetime."

"No problem, I'll definitely engrave it." Liu Jing gently put his arm around her shoulder.

The evening sun still shone brightly, and people hurried by, their faces beaming with the joy of leaving work. But Liu Jing clearly saw a hint of helplessness hidden behind that joy—the helplessness of struggling to make ends meet.

After having dinner together, Liu Jing saw Little Tiger off and went straight to the supermarket to buy locks. He bought five in one go, two of them the same as last time, and three more cheap ones at random.

Although he had promised Little Tiger, he hadn't really intended to do it.

Modern society changes rapidly, opportunities are fleeting, and to let a chance to make money slip by would be foolish, especially when it was his own invention. He didn't want to be a fool, and it had nothing to do with love. He had no doubt that when piles of money were placed before him, Little Tiger would happily forgive him.

Liu Jing had decided that this time he would make five locks: one for Little Tiger, one for Guo Guo, and the other three to make money. There were three ways to make money: first, apply for a utility patent; second, build his own factory; and third, cooperate with a lock factory. Applying for a patent takes too long and isn't guaranteed to be approved; building his own factory requires upfront investment and is too troublesome; he's lazy, so he chose the third option.

Partnering with lock factories isn't realistic either; lock factories aren't stupid. They'll dismiss you with a few words once you present your product, then start producing it themselves, essentially doing all the work for someone else.

But if it's a powerful figure, the effect is different. That powerful figure is Guo Guo, so he'll make one for Guo Guo. There are two large lock factories in S City. He'll have Guo Guo help contact them, or use the guise of a custom order. With Vice Governor Guo's name, even if he doesn't make a fortune, he should be able to get several hundred thousand.

This time, Liu Jing has a new idea. Besides the heart-shaped chain lock, he designed a heart-shaped couple's chain lock. It's basically just a slight modification, made into two matching sets, one large and one small. If it's on display, he believes many couples in love will be happy to buy it.

Liu Jing started work, beginning with the three items intended to make money. However, instead of choosing the sturdy titanium, he opted for aluminum. Since it was just a sample, there was no need to make things more difficult for himself.

Night quietly fell, the stars twinkling outside the window. In the spacious workshop, Liu Jing skillfully operated the machine tools. He

worked with great enthusiasm; labor for money was no less rewarding than labor for love. Just as Liu Jing was engrossed in his work, his phone rang. It was Yu Xia. He wiped his sweat and answered the call.

"Honey, what are you doing? It's almost midnight, why aren't you home yet?" Yu Xia asked, slightly annoyed.

Liu Jing then remembered he had forgotten to inform Yu Xia, and hurriedly said, "Sorry, I forgot to tell you. I might be busy for a few more days, you should go to sleep first."

"What are you busy with? You're never home!" Yu Xia complained, "I've only just married into the family, and you're already not coming home on your second day, what's the meaning of this?"

Liu Jing was both amused and exasperated: "I can't do anything when I go home. Isn't it because you're bullying me? I really have something to do, it's about making money. Don't you want to be a young mistress in the future? Then just bear with it for now."

"What are you doing?" Yu Xia asked seriously.

"I'll tell you when I get back, you'll see when you get back." The three chains were already more than half completed, and Liu Jing said confidently.

"Okay then, but don't overwork yourself, I haven't even used anything yet!" Yu Xia said coquettishly.

"Alright, alright, go to sleep." Liu Jing laughed again.

He hung up the phone. Liu Jing continued working. With yesterday's experience, he changed the material to aluminum, and once again worked on all three chains simultaneously, this time at a much faster pace. Around three in the morning, all three samples were completed, and he carefully checked them, finding no problems. He grabbed a bag, headed home, and left.

It was the darkest hour before dawn; the air was unusually crisp and the streets eerily quiet. Sitting in the taxi, Liu Jing gazed at the night view outside the window, his inner turmoil still hard to calm. Perhaps it was because of Yu Xia and her daughter, but he felt he had grown up a lot, become like an adult. Almost a year had passed since he graduated, yet he still felt like a student. He hadn't known Yu Xia and her daughter for very long, but that feeling had gradually faded, and now it was almost completely gone.

Men always grow up for something; perhaps this was one way.

The night dew was cold, the night wind chilly. Liu Jing got out of the taxi and walked home, a chill creeping over him. He habitually looked up; the window was still warm and inviting, Yu Xia had left a light on for him.

The house was quiet, without a sound. Yu Xia and her daughter were asleep; anyone would be asleep at this late hour. He tiptoed into the room, still wide awake, and decided to take a bath to wash away the fatigue of the past few days.

Liu Jing adjusted the water to a slightly hot temperature and lay down comfortably.

"So comfortable!" The sudden influx of water sent a slight burning sensation through his skin, and Liu Jing closed his eyes in blissful relief. Like many men, he always believed that a quick shower was for cleaning, while a bath was for relaxation.

Soaking comfortably in the hot water, Liu Jing gradually felt drowsy, but was dispelled by footsteps outside the door. The bathroom door opened, and Yu Xia walked in, looking sleepy. "Honey, when did you get back?"

"Just now."

"Why aren't you sleeping? What are you doing here? Trying to peep?" Yu Xia lifted her nightgown and pulled down her shorts.

"Who, who wants to..." Seeing Yu Xia's plump, white buttocks sway as she sat on the toilet, he continued, "I mean, I'll come in first, okay?"

Yu Xia was wide awake, looking at him with a mixture of pleasure and ambiguity. Her hands were still habitually cupping the hem of her nightgown, the side of her buttocks displaying an alluring outline on the toilet, appearing exceptionally plump due to the pressure of the toilet.

It was the first time Liu Jing had seen Yu Xia's bare buttocks. Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, the outline on the toilet was already tempting enough, and his lower body in the water had already quietly risen.

He swallowed hard and turned his head away.

Yu Xia smiled, blushing, as the sound of rushing water came from below.

Hearing the sound of water, Liu Jing's manhood hardened. The sound wasn't exactly pleasant, but it was damn annoying.

As the water subsided, Liu Jing unconsciously turned his head and saw Yu Xia bent over, her large buttocks swaying as she washed away the remaining water.

"Damn! So fucking tempting!" The action was ordinary, just a woman's habitual movement, but Liu Jing almost vomited blood.

Yu Xia giggled, casually pressed the flush valve, and quickly took off her shorts and pajamas, revealing her perfect naked body.

"What are you doing?" he asked knowingly.

"I'll bathe with you for a while." Yu Xia was very straightforward; before she finished speaking, one leg was already in the bathtub.

"Splash!" Yu Xia sat down, and bathwater overflowed from the edge of the tub.

Liu Jing's house only had a regular single bathtub, just big enough for one person to lie down; Yu Xia could only straddle him at most. He subconsciously sat up and moved back a bit. Yu Xia held onto his shoulders, sat on his lap, and her two large breasts were right in front of him.

"Do you like it?" Yu Xia asked with a smile.

"What do you think?" Liu Jing looked up, wrapped his arms around her from behind, and grabbed her two plump buttocks.

Yu Xia smiled beautifully and gently kissed his forehead: "Now tell me, what are you busy with every night?"

Liu Jing, facing her large breasts, struggled to tell her. Yu Xia exclaimed: "You can invent things? Where are they? Let me see them."

"They're inside, I'll see them later."

"I'll see them now." Yu Xia immediately stood up.

Before Liu Jing could speak, a large clump of dark, oily pubic hair, soaked in water, flashed before his eyes. Before he could react, Yu Xia had already run out, wriggling her wet buttocks.

"Damn! Is she even capable?" From urinating to wiggling her buttocks, to asking questions, and now, although Yu Xia's behavior wasn't wrong, it had thoroughly aroused him.

"Wow! So beautiful! Honey, you have this skill too?" Yu Xia quickly returned, holding a chain lock in her hands, her eyes shining with amazement.

"Not bad, right?" Liu Jing said smugly.

"I won't do it. You're being unfair! I want one too!" Yu Xia put her things down, got into the bathtub, and hugged him affectionately.

"Okay, no problem." Liu Jing smiled and hugged her, determined not to let her run away again.

Yu Xia smiled and gently cupped his face: "Forget it, I'm not a child anymore. I was just saying. Staying up so late all the time will ruin your health."

"Yu Xia, you're so good." Liu Jing stared greedily at the huge breasts in front of him, raised his eyes and said, "Let me kiss them?"

Yu Xia pouted and said awkwardly, "Don't kiss me, you'll make me uncomfortable."

"I'll just fuck you!" Liu Jing said readily.

Yu Xia chuckled and leaned against him: "Husband. You're so vulgar."

"Hey, you... do you like it?" Liu Jing was unusually vulgar, and he blushed.

Yu Xia suppressed a laugh and kissed him on the lips: "Honey, I love you no matter what, really. But you shouldn't do it with me yet, save it for your girlfriend. Women care about their first time, and they also hope their man is a virgin. Everyone says virgins are hard to find, but aren't virgin men even rarer? I don't care anyway, you should save it for her."

Liu Jing was moved again, stroking her face and saying, "But you...aren't you uncomfortable?"

"It's okay, I'll live with you anyway." Yu Xia wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered in his ear, "I've finished submitting my report, it'll be approved in a few days. When we go out, I'll arrange for you to share a room, you just need to seize the opportunity to do it with her!"

Liu Jing smiled wryly, women can be quite vulgar when they want to.

"By the way, do you think I can make money with this lock?" The original topic was disrespectful to Little Tiger, so he didn't continue.

“Why not? Her dad’s the vice governor. He can easily get a tax exemption, and the lock factory will have to hand over the money obediently. Besides, that stuff will definitely bring economic benefits. The lock factory is overjoyed.”

“That’s good. Let’s earn as much as we can.” Liu Jing nodded with satisfaction and added, “By the way, once I get this money, remember to find me a cheap but good car.”

Yu Xia looked up: “If you really want to buy a car, I have the money. You can take it and buy it first.”

“How can I do that?”

“Why not?” Yu Xia frowned. “I’m all yours now. Why are you being so polite?”

“It feels different!” Liu Jing said seriously. “Buying a car isn’t a necessary expense. I’ll feel like a gigolo if I use your money.”

“Hehe, impressive. You’ve grown from a little boy into a big man!” Yu Xia smiled and straightened up. “Alright, seeing how hard you’ve worked, I’ll reward you!” As she spoke, she presented her large breasts to him.

"Hehe, then I... won't be polite."

Liu Jing grabbed her and lowered his head to kiss her.

"Ah!" Yu Xia cried out softly, unconsciously hugging his head.

Liu Jing really didn't hold back, his hands sometimes kneading her breasts, sometimes squeezing her buttocks, his mouth kissing and biting incessantly. Yu Xia's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, her eyes closed, enduring the pleasure in her chest, her sexy lips occasionally emitting soft moans.

Soon, Yu Xia became aroused, her beautiful face flushed, showing a pained expression, her body began to twist restlessly. Liu Jing kissed her passionately, occasionally roughly spreading her large buttocks, lightly scraping her buttock crease with his fingertips.

"Uh!... Ah!" Yu Xia couldn't help herself, grabbing his head and kissing him fiercely.

The two kissed passionately, exchanging saliva frantically. Yu Xia shifted her buttocks, pressing her desperately needed thighs against his hardness pressed against her stomach, twisting her buttocks and grinding them together.

"Oh." Liu Jing groaned comfortably, supporting her plump buttocks once more. That area was soft, smooth, and incredibly gentle, as if tiny flesh was gently stroking it, fine hairs rubbing against it, and warm fluids were constantly being gently poured over it.

"Mmm!...Ah!...Ah ah!" Yu Xia frowned, anxiously kissing his tongue, her waist twisting faster and more flexibly, her large buttocks rhythmically bumping against the sides of the tub, splashing water occasionally.

Their lower bodies were in close contact in the water; Yu Xia twisted wildly, Liu Jing supporting her buttocks for added support, their movements becoming increasingly synchronized, a series of beautiful moans echoing through the air.

Overwhelmed by passion, Yu Xia, lost in ecstasy, suddenly thrust her hips forward, "Plop!" It went in, halfway in.

"Ah!" Yu Xia's lower body suddenly felt full, her head jerking back, letting out an extremely pleasurable groan.

Liu Jing was startled and subconsciously looked up; Yu Xia's beautiful face flushed red, her eyes darting around, and she hurriedly turned her hips away.

Liu Jing was both amused and exasperated: "Yu Xia, if you want to do it, just do it! Why did you have to use this sneak attack method? You caught me completely off guard, and you only got it halfway in, what a waste!"

"No, no, I didn't mean to!" Yu Xia's face was flushed, she was so shy and beautiful, she twisted her body coquettishly.

"It's alright, it's okay." Liu Jing lovingly pulled this unpredictably beautiful girl into his arms.

Yu Xia's cheeks were burning, her watery eyes were hazy, and after a long while she shyly raised her head: "Husband, I really didn't mean to, it's just... it just slipped in by accident!"

Chapter Seventy-Six The Truest Call

At four o'clock in the morning, it was quiet outside, but the bathroom had a different atmosphere, as gentle as moonlight.

The two chatted, kissed, polished the mirror, and even had half of their affair before finally calming down.

Liu Jing sat on a plastic stool, his hair covered in foam; Yu Xia, dressed in pajamas, stood behind him, tenderly and meticulously washing his hair.

In such a quiet moment, enjoying such gentle service from a woman, Liu Jing felt a warm glow in his heart, a feeling that went beyond mere comfort or pleasure. Since moving in together, they had been busy with their own lives, spending little time together, but their time together was always filled with the joy and excitement of life, and bursting with passion.

Liu Jing increasingly felt incredibly lucky because Yu Xia was so wonderful—she was both caring and capable of being cared for, alluring and unrestrained, yet she could also confide in him like a close friend; she was a wife, a mother, a perfect lover, and could also be a silly, adorable girl, leading him on wild adventures. In short, whatever you could imagine or couldn't imagine, she could be there for you. They say that marrying a woman three years older is like finding a gold brick, and Yu Xia was six years older than him—that was two gold bricks!

Liu Jing's heart swelled with happiness, and he couldn't resist turning around, wrapping his arm around Yu Xia's back, and caressing her full buttocks inside her pajamas. Yu Xia was only wearing a nightgown, not underwear.

"Hmph!" Yu Xia glared at him, but didn't say anything, letting him take advantage of her.

"Soft, warm, and slippery, so cozy and comfortable, so this is what it feels like." Touching Yu Xia's sexy, plump buttocks, Liu Jing's mind wandered again, savoring the feeling of having just been half-raped.

Liu Jing suddenly thought of an old saying: "A beautiful flower is appreciated when half-open, and fine wine is enjoyed when slightly tipsy." It roughly means that good things should be enjoyed in moderation, leaving some room for indulgence, lest it be too much. But the problem is, a flower is considered open no matter how much it's open, and wine is considered drunk when slightly tipsy, but what about when it's halfway in? This kind of thing varies from person to person, is there a standard for length or depth?

"Splash!" Water suddenly poured down from above, Yu Xia finished washing and started rinsing him. He quickly withdrew his hands. He closed his eyes. This problem was complicated, and also quite funny, he stopped thinking about it.

After rinsing off the foam, Yu Xia took a towel and dried his head. Liu Jing turned to face her, cupped her buttocks with both hands, and pulled her close.

"Don't move, I'm drying my hair!"

Liu Jing ignored her, looking up at her and saying, "Yu Xia, you're so good to me, I promise. I'll never let you down in this life, and I'll treat Duo Duo like my own daughter."

Yu Xia's expression darkened, and she paused, saying, "What about the future? What will we do then?"

Liu Jing understood what "the future" meant, and tightened his grip, pulling her sideways onto his lap: "Don't worry, we'll be together in the future."

"How will we be together?" Yu Xia looked at him, her eyes helpless and frightened, like a frightened child. Having suffered a painful experience, and now experiencing the warmth of family and the nourishment of love again, she had lost much of her strength.

"I don't know yet." Liu Jing's tone was calm, with a certain ease, "Have you felt it? It's like we've been living together for a long time, just like an ordinary couple, I have that feeling."

"So what?" Yu Xia didn't understand.

“Hmm.” Liu Jing pondered for a moment, then said earnestly, “You might not believe it, but intuition is the strongest precognitive ability of all animals. I think this feeling is very much like eternity. So I believe we will definitely be together.”

“What’s the use of just saying it?” Yu Xia rolled her eyes, saying with a hint of grievance, “You’ll marry her sooner or later, and then we’ll be kicked out!”

“Don’t rush things. Rushing won’t solve anything.” Liu Jing hugged her tightly. “We’re together now, so just relax and live your life peacefully. Trust me, things will fall into place naturally.”

Yu Xia didn’t say anything more, leaning her head against his shoulder.

Liu Jing looked at her ample bosom, kissed her lips, and then tugged at her shoulder strap. Yu Xia quickly pressed his hand down, stood up, and said, “Stop fooling around, it’s already dawn. Get up, let me dry you off, and go to sleep.”

Liu Jing obediently stood up, letting Yu Xia dry him off, put his bathrobe on him, and then scooped her up in his arms.

Yu Xia was startled: "What are you going to do now?"

"Sleep with me."

Yu Xia smiled, without speaking.

After entering the room, Liu Jing threw her onto the bed and pounced on her. Yu Xia let out a soft moan, her chest was exposed, and her lips were sealed. She accepted the man's rough kisses, quietly pulled the blanket over herself, and her four legs intertwined under the thin blanket.

Liu Jing fell asleep, really fell asleep, holding the woman's body from behind. Yu Xia held his arm, her eyes filled with shy sweetness. Forever, really? She happily fantasized and looked forward to it.

It was Friday, and Liu Jing decided to finish the remaining two locks in one go. Although he was very experienced, the strength of titanium was not comparable to that of aluminum. He had worked on the first one for two nights, and now he wanted to do two in one night, how easy would that be? He called Yu Xia, went over after work, and worked non-stop until four in the morning, so tired that he was dizzy, but he finally finished. He had Fang Xi's name engraved on it as instructed; he hesitated for a moment on Guo Guo's, but ultimately left it unengaged.

At five in the morning, he returned home, his back aching, and he had no appetite for a bath, collapsing into bed immediately. He was exhausted after four nights of work.

Yu Xia heard him and came over to cover him with the blanket, sitting by the bed and tenderly stroking his hair, a relieved and happy smile on her face. That night before, she had looked at him and stroked his hair in the same way, never imagining that night would actually become a reality. Who says a small man is bad? What does size matter if you can rely on him with peace of mind?

After an unknown amount of time, Liu Jing, dizzy and disoriented, was groggily shaken awake. Outside, the sun was shining brightly. Yu Xia, dressed neatly in her uniform, sat by the bed, looking at him with a pained expression.

"Are you going out?" Liu Jing asked with difficulty, sitting up.

Yu Xia nodded, somewhat helplessly: "The Minister of Public Security was inspecting D City and suddenly requested to see two female mounted police teams from the province. The headquarters decided to put on a performance, and we only received the notification yesterday afternoon."

"How many days will you be gone?"

Yu Xia said, "I have to leave now. There's a rehearsal tomorrow, and the official performance the day after. I should be back by next Tuesday. If nothing else happens, I'll try to come back after the performance on Monday."

"Okay, go ahead. I'll take care of the child."

Yu Xia smiled and added, "You probably won't be able to go on dates with your girlfriend these next few days."

"Oh, why talk about that?" Liu Jing put on his shoes and walked out. "Duo Duo, where are you? Come here!"

Duo Duo was watching TV and ran in immediately upon hearing this. Liu Jing picked her up: "Duo Duo. Mommy has to go out. Starting today, sleep with Daddy, okay?"

"Okay." Duo Duo replied, looking at her mother reluctantly. Yu Xia stepped forward and said, "Duo Duo, be good at home. Listen to Daddy. Mommy will be back in a couple of days."

"Okay." Duo Duo nodded and said to Liu Jing, "Daddy, today is Sunday. I don't want to go to kindergarten. Can you still take me to the park?"

“Okay, Dad will take you there in a bit.” Liu Jing, carrying the child, stepped aside. He

then said to Yu Xia, “If you’re in a hurry, go ahead. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of her.”

Yu Xia glanced at him, put on her hat, and went out, somewhat reluctantly. She wanted a kiss before leaving, or even just a hug.

Liu Jing carried the child to the door. Yu Xia then instructed, “Remember to give her a bag of walnut milk in the morning, a bag of fresh milk before bed, and let her sleep after lunch. Any kind of milk will do; I’ve already bought it.”

“I know.”

“Goodbye, Mom!”

Yu Xia kissed the child and left reluctantly. Liu Jing closed the door, carried the child back to the living room. Duo Duo touched his face and asked softly, “Daddy, your face is so hot?”

“Daddy’s sick.” Liu Jing put Duo Duo on the sofa.

"Do you need to go to the hospital for a shot?"

"Daddy doesn't need to, I'll be fine after a nap." Liu Jing smiled and touched her cheek. "Duo Duo, Daddy's going to sleep. I'll put on a cartoon for you, wash some fruit, and then cook for you at noon. In the afternoon, I'll take you to the park, okay?"

"Okay." Duo Duo was clearly reluctant to go without anyone to accompany her, but she weakly agreed.

Liu Jing put on a Teletubbies cartoon, placed the potty aside, washed a plate of fruit, and peeled and shredded the fruit as needed. "Duo Duo, be good. Watch your cartoon by yourself, pee when you need to, and eat whatever you want. Daddy will take you to the park after his nap."

Duo Duo grabbed a small persimmon and put it in her mouth, nodding expectantly.

To prevent any accidents, Liu Jing turned off the gas valve, closed the doors and windows tightly, and hid the scissors and other items. Feeling that everything was in order, he returned to his room.

After staying up for four nights in a row, he unexpectedly woke up with a fever, his forehead burning hot. Since he was leaving anyway, he didn't tell Yu Xia, and of course, he couldn't hug or kiss her goodbye.

After entering the room, Liu Jing dialed Little Tiger's number: "Fangxi, I've finished the lock, but I can't come over to see you for the next couple of days. Yuxia suddenly went on a business trip, and I have to help her take care of her child."

"Can you take care of a child?" Fangxi giggled.

Liu Jing forced a smile: "Practice first, or why don't you come over and practice with me?"

Fangxi smiled and said: "Tomorrow, I'll come with you tomorrow. I have something to do today."

"What is it? Are you having dinner with that family again?"

"No." Thinking of the embarrassing incident last time, Fangxi couldn't help but blush. "It's Hai Ge's mother's birthday, and my mother and I are going to a birthday banquet this afternoon."

"Okay, then go ahead, call again tomorrow." Liu Jing already knew that President Zhao's family and Fangxi used to be neighbors, and they had helped Little Tiger a lot after his father passed away. It was only right to reciprocate.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Jing took three paracetamol tablets and drank a large vat of boiled water. This medicine had been proven to have significant side effects, but it was undeniable that it was effective in reducing fever. Yuxia would be gone for at least three days, and he had to get better as soon as possible. Afterwards, Liu Jing went out to check on Duo Duo again. Seeing that Duo Duo was engrossed in watching, he covered himself with a thick blanket and went to bed.

Liu Jing had a fever, and coupled with several days of sleep deprivation, he slept like a log, not knowing how long he slept, until he vaguely heard crying. He sat up abruptly and checked the time; it was already past four in the afternoon. He had slept for more than seven hours!

Duo Duo's little face was covered in smears, and he was standing by the bed rubbing his eyes. When he saw that Liu Jing was awake, Duo Duo cried out, "Daddy, I'm hungry."

This cry of "Daddy" touched Liu Jing's heart deeply, reaching the deepest part of his heart, as if the purest call had awakened the truest part of his humanity. If before, his feelings for Duo Duo were merely out of love, now he was certain that he had fatherly love.

"It's Daddy's fault, Daddy slept too much." The fever had subsided, and Liu Jing wiped the sweat from his brow, tenderly hugging his child. "Duo Duo, why didn't you wake Daddy?"

"I did, but you didn't wake up," Duo Duo sobbed.

"Are you asleep?"

"Yes, I fell asleep by myself." Duo Duo looked at him with teary eyes. "I woke up, but you weren't up yet."

"Really?" Liu Jing smiled, wiping her teary eyes. "Duo Duo, be good, don't cry. Daddy will make you some food."

Duo Duo nodded, then reached back to touch her face. "The potty spilled too, and my pants are all wet."

Liu Jing pulled them over and saw a large wet patch. He thought for a moment and said, "Duo Duo, don't you like shrimp? Daddy will give you a bath, change you into some pretty clothes, and then take you to eat shrimp, okay?"

"Mmm." A glimmer of light appeared in Duo Duo's eyes. "I like shellfish."

"Okay, whatever you like, Daddy will buy you." Liu Jing took off Duo Duo's pants, pulled the blanket over her, and wrapped her up. "Duo Duo, Daddy will get you some cookies first, then we'll take a bath, change your clothes, and then I'll take you to eat shrimp."

Duo Duo said anxiously, "If I eat cookies, there won't be any room in my stomach, and then I won't be able to eat shrimp or shellfish."

"Hehe, okay, let's take a shower and change clothes now." Liu Jing picked up the child again and headed to the bathroom.

The living room was a mess; the cartoon was still on, the potty was overturned, and orange segments and fruit were scattered all over the floor, though the small persimmons were all gone.

Liu Jing quickly gave the child a bath, changed her into clean clothes, and even styled her hair into a little ponytail. Duo Duo quickly regained her cheerful smile and looked at herself happily in the mirror. Liu Jing grabbed a few chains and carried Duo Duo out.

The evening breeze was warm. Holding the child, Liu Jing dialed Guo Guo's number with one hand: "Guo Guo, what are you doing? Are you free tonight?"

"What?" Guo Guo suppressed her surprise and deliberately said coldly.

Liu Jing laughed: "I'm inviting you to dinner, without my girlfriend. Are you coming?"

Chapter 77: A Second

Visit to Donglaishun Hot Pot Restaurant. The place was bustling with noise and steam. Liu Jing lied and said there were already six people in the room, insisting on a private room. He never liked private rooms, but it was too noisy outside, and he needed to discuss serious business with Guo Guo—the business of making money.

Liu Jing wanted a good private room and gave instructions to the hostess at the door, saying that a tall, plump young woman of this appearance had arrived and asking her to be led to his room. The hostess solemnly agreed, seemingly afraid of making a mistake.

Guo Guo had a very distinctive appearance, so Liu Jing wasn't worried at all. He carried the child upstairs.

A waitress led the way, and he followed behind, while Duo Duo's big, curious eyes kept looking around.

It was the weekend, and the restaurant was doing well; most of the private rooms were full, and deafening laughter could be heard from time to time. Liu Jing was puzzled. Eating was certainly something to be happy about, but why did everyone have to talk so loudly? He liked being boisterous, but he didn't agree with this way of expressing it.

He forgot that happiness doesn't necessarily mean loud talking, but people who talk loudly are usually very happy, which has nothing to do with boisterousness.

In one particular private room, the guests were all happy. Liu Jing, carrying the child, walked past the door. One person paused for a moment, politely said something to the others, and quickly walked to the door. At the end of the corridor, Liu Jing entered the innermost private room. He hesitated for a moment, then walked out calmly. He was certain he hadn't mistaken the person, only surprised by the child.

Liu Jing entered the private room, put the child beside him, and was about to order when he suddenly saw someone walking in at the door: "Brother Lin!"

"Hehe, brother, it really is you." Lin Weidong walked in with a smile.

"Brother Lin, what a coincidence, you're here to eat too?" Liu Jing wanted to stand up.

"No need to be polite, please order first." Lin Weidong quickly stopped him, pulled up a chair and sat down, smiling at Duo Duo beside him.

Liu Jing nodded and took the menu from the waiter.

A stranger arrived. Duo Duo was a little reserved, tilting her little neck and glancing timidly.

Lin Weidong smiled and approached, saying gently, "Little girl, you're so pretty. Tell me, what's your name, and how old are you?"

Praised, Duo Duo perked up and rattled off, "My name is Zhou Duo Duo, I'm four years old. I'm in the second grade of kindergarten."

"Hehe, four years old. So good." Lin Weidong patted the girl's cheek. "Which kindergarten do you go to? Are you doing well in school?"

"I'm at..." Duo Duo didn't know the name of her kindergarten and glanced at Liu Jing.

"I'm at the kindergarten my dad takes me to. I behave very well; the teacher praises me every day."

"Really?" Lin Weidong looked at Liu Jing, puzzled.

Liu Jing quickly ordered the food and picked up the child: "This is a friend's child. Her father was a policeman who died in the line of duty. I'm her godfather."

"Oh." Lin Weidong nodded, a hint of heaviness appearing in his eyes as he looked at Duo Duo.

Liu Jing asked again, "Brother Lin, didn't you take a break today?"

"Just a few friends getting together. You, did you come alone?" Lin Weidong said, subconsciously pointing to Duo Duo.

Liu Jing smiled wryly to himself. He knew Lin Weidong wasn't ignoring Duo Duo, but was asking about the child's mother. He truthfully replied, "Her mother is away on a business trip and asked me to help look after the child. I also need to talk to Yangyang about something, so I brought her along."

"Yangyang is here too?"

"She'll be here in a bit."

"Oh." Lin Weidong nodded, looking at the chain lock on the table. "You made this yourself, right?"

"Just something I made without thinking," Liu Jing said modestly.

Lin Weidong was astonished, picking up the chain lock to examine it closely. Liu Jing held the child, Duo Duo, who stared at it expectantly, clearly surprised that her father had such a fun thing.

"Not bad, quite good, very creative." Lin Weidong nodded repeatedly, setting aside the one he had given to Guo Guo. "You want Yangyang to help sell these to lock factories?"

"That's what I was thinking, but I don't know if it'll work." Liu Jing was surprised; Brother Lin was too shrewd! There were four chain locks in the bag. To make it easier to explain, he labeled the two samples "Heart Chain Lock" and "Heart Couple Chain Lock" respectively. Guo Guo's lock was just casually placed aside; Lin Weidong not only guessed he wanted to sell it but also automatically put Guo Guo's lock aside.

"Why not? Your stuff is practically a work of art!" Lin Weidong chuckled, enthusiastically saying, "Brother, I know several lock factories in the city. If you trust me, just leave it to me. I'll definitely be easier to talk to than Yangyang."

"How can I trouble Brother Lin?" Liu Jing asked, pleasantly surprised. Lin Weidong's father was the director of the tax bureau, and he himself was the deputy director of the Party Office of Dongdian Group. One was in taxation, the other in electricity; their influence far exceeded that of Guo Guo, the daughter of the provincial governor.

"Don't mention it. Yangyang is like my own sister; it's all family business." Lin Weidong waved his hand and got up to leave.

This didn't seem right, Liu Jing thought to himself, a cold sweat breaking out. He followed, carrying the child, "Then thank you, Brother Lin."

"It's nothing." Lin Weidong walked towards the door. "I'm going now. I'll come back later for a drink."

"Take care, Brother Lin." Liu Jing saw him to the door, watching him leave.

Back in the private room, Liu Jing felt somewhat dejected, and even more regretful, feeling he had been too selfish. Given the current situation, he should have reduced his contact with Guo Guo, avoiding her as much as possible, but he hadn't even considered it. Now that even Lin Weidong had accepted their relationship, wouldn't that make things even more difficult for the Guo family? Duo Duo

was still in his arms, reaching out her little hands to grab the chain lock on the table. Liu Jing took it and handed it to her. The titanium was heavy, and Duo Duo struggled to hold it. Liu Jing put her down on the floor, letting her play on the chair.

"Daddy, what's this?" Duo Duo asked, her eyes shining with curiosity and excitement.

“It’s a lock, for locking bicycles,” Liu Jing explained earnestly, patting the child’s head.

“Daddy, I want a bicycle too, and a lock too!” Duo Duo tilted her head, looking at him pleadingly.

Liu Jing smiled and picked up the child: “Okay, Daddy will buy you a little bicycle, and a pretty little lock too.”

“Hmm, what about this?” Duo Duo pointed longingly.

Liu Jing smiled: “This is too heavy, you can’t lift it. When you grow up and are stronger, Daddy will buy you a bigger one.”

“Then I’ll have two!” Duo Duo was very happy, her innocence pure.

“Right.” Liu Jing smiled, hugging the child in his arms, a quiet pang of sadness in his heart.

He hadn’t done anything. He wasn’t a good father either, but Duo Duo no longer mentioned her biological father, perhaps she had already forgotten.

The waiter brought the food, and Liu Jing threw in several large shrimp and conch shells—the so-called seashells—before the water boiled. Duo Duo, who had been hungry all day, licked her lips, eagerly watching the food bobbing up and down in the water. Just

as the father and daughter started their meal, a breath of fresh air drifted in from the doorway. Guo Guo had arrived. Guo was quite different today, dressed in a snow-white dress. She also wore a cute little vest, making her look elegant, lively, and charming, like a lily blooming in summer.

The entire private room was serene and peaceful.

The two people, one inside and one outside the door, stared at each other, bewildered. Guo was bewildered because there was a child there. Liu was bewildered because the girl's attire was so different from his description; how did the hostess recognize her?

"Daddy, who is this auntie?" Duo Duo asked, chewing on something, her words muffled.

"Oh, she is… she is Auntie. She's Daddy and Mommy's good friend," Liu Jing replied with a smile, beckoning to Guo.

"Hmph! Hmph!" Guo pushed up her glasses, huffed twice, and entered, putting down her handbag. She sat down next to Duo Duo with a smile: "Little baby, what's your name?"

"I… I'm called…" Duo Duo quickly swallowed what was in her mouth and said loudly. "My name is Zhou Duoduo, I'm four years old, and I'm in the second grade of kindergarten." Kindergartens teach children to introduce themselves, so Duoduo is always very proud.

"Really? Duoduo is so good!" Guo Guo reached out to hug her. "Liu Jing, she's so cute! Where's Captain Qin? Is she on duty?"

"She's on a business trip. Could I have brought her?" Liu Jing finally had a chance to eat something.

"Really!" Guo Guo's voice rose a half-octave. "Where's your girlfriend? Why didn't you bring her?"

"She had something to do. Otherwise, could I have invited you to dinner?" Liu Jing didn't pay attention, busy eating. He hadn't even eaten breakfast and was sweating profusely, hungrier than the child.

Guo Guo didn't ask any more questions, turning her head with a smile: "Duoduo, which one do you want to eat? Tell Auntie, and Auntie will get it for you."

"I...I want...Achoo!" Duoduo had eaten a little too quickly while introducing herself, and Guo Guo, who had never held a child before, suddenly sneezed.

"Ouch! You little rascal!" Guo Guo, caught off guard, quickly tilted her head, but still got sprayed all over her face.

Duo Duo, mischievous, giggled. Liu Jing chuckled and handed her a tissue: "Put her down, you should eat something too."

"It's okay, I'm not hungry." Guo Guo wiped herself, then rushed to play with the child. A woman's nature is to love children; although Guo Guo was somewhat wary of Yu Xia, it didn't affect her at all.

Liu Jing didn't press her, and added, "By the way, have you seen Brother Lin? He's in the private room up ahead."

"Really?" Guo Guo was feeding Duo Duo. "Did you talk to him?"

Liu Jing stopped, looking at her. "Of course. He promised me a favor, which I was originally planning to do for you."

"What favor?" Guo Guo finally focused her attention.

Liu Jing handed her the chain lock: "It's this."

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Guo Guo's eyes lit up with delight. "You made it yourself, right? It's a gift for me?"

Liu Jing smiled wryly, taking a sip of his drink. "I wanted to ask you for help, but I had

no choice but to make one for you. If I had known I could ask Brother Lin, I wouldn't have made it for you!" "You..." Guo Guo was angry, raising the chain to hit him, but ultimately couldn't bring herself to do it. She gently kicked him and happily put the things away.

Guo Guo had a petticoat under her skirt, but no stockings, revealing a section of her tender, white legs. It was still May, and although the temperature was high, changing habits takes time, and most women would wear stockings.

This girl, no matter how she dressed, always looked different from others. Liu Jing lowered his eyes and glanced at her unconsciously.

After Guo Guo finished putting away her things, she asked again, "What exactly do you need help with?" Liu Jing explained. Guo Guo looked at him strangely: "Why did you suddenly think of getting rich?"

Liu Jing looked at her calmly: "I already have a girlfriend, I have to support my family."

"You two won't be together, definitely not!" Guo Guo lowered her head and skewered a conch meat into Duo Duo's mouth.

Liu Jing sighed inwardly and hugged the child: "Guo Guo, listen to me, don't be silly, you'll ruin yourself."

"No way. Who told you to like me and find someone else?" Guo Guo said aggrievedly.

Liu Jing was speechless, facing the hot pot in front of him. The water inside bubbled and boiled, making people feel hot and flustered. This girl wouldn't listen to advice, what to do?

"Auntie, I'm done!" Duo Duo opened her big mouth and pleaded.

The two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes softening again. Guo Guo stuffed a shrimp into the girl's mouth, then couldn't bear it: "Liu Jing, don't get so worked up, I won't make things difficult for you. Really."

"You're something else, I'm getting a terrible headache!" Liu Jing said angrily without saying anything. "You said you'd be friends with my girlfriend? Look at you the other day! It's only because she's kind-hearted; anyone else would have kicked you out!"

"Hehe!" Guo Guo poured herself a glass of wine, beaming. "Liu Jing, your girlfriend is great, I was just teasing her. Hmm, I'll tease her again next time!"

Liu Jing sighed and fell silent. He only ever verbally criticized Guo Guo. There was no other way; after they confessed their feelings, this girl became spoiled and wouldn't listen to a word he said.

Although they shared a sense of helplessness, the meal was very satisfying. Except for Lin Weidong offering a toast, the three of them acted like family. Duo Duo quickly became close to Guo Guo, even closer than to her mother.

The meal lasted until dark. The three said goodbye to Lin Weidong and then left. Outside, the city lights began to twinkle, their brightness shifting, the city shimmering in the night.

Guo Guo, still unable to contain her excitement, leaned on her electric scooter: "Liu Jing, how many days is Captain Qin going on a business trip?"

"Three days, I guess. What are you going to do?"

Guo Guo's eyes lit up as she looked at her child: "Duo Duo is so cute! Can we have dinner together again tomorrow?"

Liu Jing quickly refused: "No way. My girlfriend is coming tomorrow. If you two get together, you'll fight again."

"Then… I'll give in to her starting tomorrow?" Guo Guo pleaded.

"I don't believe you!" Liu Jing glared at her, picked up Duo Duo, and turned to leave. "Goodbye, Auntie." Duo Duo clung to her father's shoulder, waving and giggling.

"Girlfriend? What's so great about her? We'll see!" Once Liu Jing and his daughter were far away, Guo Guo adjusted her glasses, and the electric scooter sped off, her little dress gleaming white under the streetlights.

It was still early, and they weren't far from home. Liu Jing carried Duo Duo, and the two chatted affectionately as they strolled through the night.

Three people emerged from a small hotel by the roadside, just as Liu Jing was passing by with his child.

Upon seeing this, one of the men widened his eyes, his brows gradually furrowing.

"What's wrong?" asked the man beside him, a large-headed, small-eyed man.

"Chief, do you know this person?" asked another burly young man.

"Nothing, probably just mistaken. Let's go."

The chief withdrew his gaze and walked towards the car parked by the roadside, still suspicious, repeatedly turning back.

"Dad, when is Mom coming back?"

"Mom will be back in a few days."

"Will I live with you forever?"

"Yes, Dad will always be your dad."

"What about Mom and my family?"

"You and Mom's family are gone now."

Hearing this, the chief abruptly turned around and said to the two beside him, "Xiao Dan, don't make a sound, go around to the front and intercept this kid; Da Tou, you on the left, I'll on the right, take him down, be careful not to hurt the child!"

The two were startled, not understanding why their superior was so tense, but resolutely carried out the order.

Liu Jing was happily walking home when he was suddenly surrounded by three people, and was greatly alarmed. The main road was bustling with people and cars, brightly lit; could she really be unlucky enough to run into a robbery?

"What are you doing?" Liu Jing asked warily, clutching her child tightly. The boy

with the big head and small eyes raised an eyebrow and said rudely, "Show me your ID?"

"I didn't bring it. Who are you people?" Liu Jing felt half relieved.

The police chief stared at Duo Duo and gave the young man a look. Xiao Dan pulled out his ID, flashed it, and quickly withdrew it: "Who is this child to you?"

"My daughter, what's it to you?" The ID was flashed quickly, without revealing his identity, but Liu Jing saw the police badge on it.

"Your daughter? You're saying she's your daughter?" The station chief frowned, squinting as he asked, "How old are you? How old is this child?"

Liu Jing understood. Yu Xia's deceased husband was a criminal police officer. This policeman might have seen Duo Duo before and mistook him for a child trafficker. So he truthfully replied, "Officer, you've misunderstood. She's the daughter of Qin Yu Xia from your traffic police team. I'm friends with her. She's away on a business trip and asked me to look after her child for a few days."

"You say you're Captain Qin's friend?" The station chief squinted, not only disbelieving but also disdainful.

This was really hard to say. Liu Jing could only say, "How about this, I'll call her and have her talk to you. Is that alright?"

The men exchanged glances, still suspicious, and remained silent.

The night grew darker, and having encountered several menacing-looking men, Duo Duo was frightened. Her big eyes were filled with fear and uncertainty as she clung tightly to her father's neck. "Duo Duo, don't be afraid," Liu Jing comforted her, reaching for Yu Xia's phone with one hand.

Ugh! It was off. Liu Jing waved the phone in his hand, saying helplessly, "Her phone is off now, but I really..."

"Alright!" The station chief snatched the phone away from him. "You don't need to explain. Tell us what you have to say back at the station."

"Hey, aren't you police? How can you arrest people randomly?" Liu Jing was anxious. Yu Xia's phone was off; if things couldn't be explained quickly, it would be terrible.

"Enough with the nonsense! Just leave!" Da Tou shoved him.

Liu Jing was about to say something when the burly young man suddenly grabbed his arm, and Da Tou tried to snatch the child. Liu Jing was shocked. He pressed down with his arm, flipped over, and pushed Xiao Dan away, making him stumble. His combat skills worked again.

Xiao Dan was surprised and hesitated for a moment before rushing forward again.

Liu Jing held his arm across and shouted, "You can leave, but I'm the child's father, and the child must stay with me!"

The father was fighting with someone, and Duo Duo was terrified, bursting into tears.

The station chief looked at him and said rationally, "Forget it, let him hold him for now."

Liu Jing comforted Duo Duo, then got into the car, feeling utterly dejected, sandwiched between the two guys. Damn it, what happened? Did we run into the police station?!
