After eating, Mengmeng and Wu Xia returned to the newspaper office with a puffy belly.
"Editor Ding, just send it here. You should go back and rest quickly. I will go back and start writing the manuscript."
Wu Xia was full of energy when she thought that there was no limit on the number of places to buy a house. She wanted to buy five places and save 100,000 yuan in half a year. When she gets the house in the future, whether she collects rent or sells it, she will make a steady profit.
Wu Xia fantasized about buying thirty houses, collecting one house every day, and seeing money every day, which made him feel happy just thinking about it.
"Okay, don't tire yourself out."
After Ding Wenmin left, Mengmeng said in a sweet voice: "Mom, the pizza in the Western restaurant is so delicious. Let's eat it with dad and brother next time?"
This is the first time that she has been away from her father and brother for so long. Mengmeng misses them a little.
"Okay." Wu Xia nodded, then took Mengmeng's little hand and walked into the building together. At this moment, footsteps came from behind.
Mengmeng turned around: "Dad!"
Xu Guoping appeared in front of the two men, handsome and straight, wearing a brand new military uniform. His appearance was outstanding, and passers-by couldn't help but take a few glances at him, but he didn't look sideways, only Wu Xia and Mengmeng were in his eyes.
"Dad!!!" Mengmeng let go of Wu Xia's hand and ran over.
Xu Guoping picked up Mengmeng and kissed her little face: "Do you miss daddy?"
"I want it!" Mengmeng replied in a sweet voice, and then looked at Wu Xia again: "Mom and I both want it!"
After hearing Mengmeng's words, Xu Guoping pressed his fingers on her swollen belly. His daughter was indeed a caring little cotton-padded jacket. Then he looked up at Wu Xia and smiled.
This smile made him even more handsome, and his skin was prettier than that of a celebrity. Wu Xia couldn't help but sigh in her heart again.
Seeing Mengmeng nestled in Xu Guoping's arms, Wu Xia walked towards the two of them.
"Are you here...?"
"I came to see you just after the last competition at the battalion headquarters." Xu Guoping replied, and then pointed toward the building: "You don't want me to come up?"
Wu Xia hesitated. She didn't want Xu Guoping to disturb her life, but Mengmeng said pitifully: "Mom, let dad go up and see our new home~~"
Wu Xia couldn't be hard-hearted towards the coquettish little guy.
Seeing that her mother agreed, Mengmeng cheered: "That's great, Dad, let's go upstairs quickly!"
Regarding his private territory, Wu Xia didn't want anyone to enter, but Xu Guoping said: "Don't let the child catch a cold."
She still agreed. Xu Guoping carried Mengmeng upstairs and turned on the lights in the warehouse. The room looked very shabby. Even if Wu Xia posted a few New Year paintings inside, it still made people feel too shabby.
"Xia Xia, why don't you come back to live in the compound with me? My place is not far from here, it's only ten minutes away by bike."
Mengmeng blinked her big eyes and looked at her mother. How she hoped her mother would agree.
It's a pity that Wu Xia is not so easily shaken or that she does not have the courage to live with Xu Guoping anymore. After thinking for a long time, Wu Xia still shook her head and refused.
"How about going to the movies? I bought the tickets." Xu Guoping took out two movie tickets from his pocket.
Raise the Red Lantern is the most popular movie right now. Every show is packed with seats, and it’s hard to get a ticket at the ticket office.
He snatched these two tickets from the regimental staff.
After the competition ended, the regiment leader encouraged him to continue to display high-level combat capabilities and bring glory to the regiment in the division competition. Xu Guoping caught a glimpse of the movie ticket hanging out of the trouser pocket of the regiment staff member. When he heard what the regiment staff member said, he opened his mouth and said that they wanted the movie ticket as a reward. The regiment staff member had no choice but to buy it himself. Give him the movie ticket and let him use it to please his wife.
At that time, he imagined watching a movie with Wu Xia, in the dark. Maybe if he worked hard, Xia Xia would forgive him?
Mengmeng smiled sweetly: "Mom, let's take Mengmeng to see a movie!"
"Didn't you just say you were tired and wanted to sleep?"
Mengmeng: ...hehehe, of course Mengmeng wants to help dad.
Wu Xia didn't know that the cute little kid was so big. He was thinking about how to help his father to coax his mother home. He would rather not sleep than go to the movies. Being pestered by the child, Wu Xia had no choice but to surrender: "Okay. Well, you want to see mom take you to see it."
The three people arrived in front of the cinema, and the movie had just started.
They ducked in and found their seat numbers. The family of three sat down and watched the movie. The movie was playing to the foot-beating part.
Xu Guoping leaned into Wu Xia's ear and whispered, "Xia Xia, you've been wearing high heels all day, how about I help you hammer them in?"
Wu Xia couldn't answer, so he bent down and took off Wu Xia's shoes.
Wu Xia glanced at Mengmeng and saw that Mengmeng was nodding sleepily and not paying attention, so he pushed Xu Guoping's shoulder with his hand and whispered: "You are crazy!"
"I'm not crazy." Xu Guoping didn't let go at all. He took off Wu Xia's shoes and put her cold feet into his big hands, and then kneaded them rhythmically.
The warmth from his feet and just enough strength made Wu Xia groan, and he couldn't use any strength.
Xu Guoping curled his lips and smiled, then put his arms around Wu Xia and kissed her closely.
After kissing Wu Xia until she was out of breath, Xu Guoping said: "Bai Tingting's teacher is gone."
"Did you do it?"
Xu Guoping nodded: "If they dare to bully you, I will get you back."
Wu Xia knew Bai Qiming's identity, and Xu Guoping was just the deputy company commander. It must have taken a lot of effort to fight with him, but he really paid attention to himself.
"Have you calmed down yet?"
Xu Guoping came over to ask seriously. At some point, his hand took off Wu Xia's socks and quietly played with her toes underneath, making Wu Xia shrink back her toes in embarrassment.
"Let people see it!"
Although they were sitting in the corner, the kiss just now attracted the attention of many people. Wu Xia couldn't help but kicked him, then quickly put his feet back, picked up his socks and put them on.
Xu Guoping glanced around, and those people looked away uncomfortably when they saw his gaze. However, he was also afraid that any intimate behavior would affect his image as a soldier, so he allowed Wu Xia to hold Mengmeng in his arms and act as a human shield.
After putting on her shoes, Wu Xia looked around guiltily. The surroundings were pitch black and the faces were blurry. She breathed a sigh of relief. No one should be able to see her face.
Little did she know that someone not far away was looking at her with evil intentions.
Li Hua recognized Wu Xia at a glance from her figure. Then he saw a strange man next to her. He thought to himself: This woman is indeed a seductress who doesn't know how to behave. Judging from her coquettish appearance, I don't know how much she has seduced. Man, no wonder someone from the province specifically called me today to ask me to give her some color.
