Chapter 11 The Mysterious Woman
Luo Ning hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking, "Let's get a divorce in six months. Then you can put all the blame on me, like I'm promiscuous, there are conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, I'm disobedient and disobedient. Just say whatever makes it possible to get a divorce!"
Well, she finally took this step, and she feels awesome.
Xie Chang'an's disdain for him could be felt from miles away.
Six months, she'll use six months to cultivate this relationship. If she can win Xie Chang'an over, that would be ideal.
If not, then she would set him free, after all, Luo Ning was just his ex-wife, and that's how the original story went.
If she uses her obsession to bind Xie Chang'an and causes irreparable damage to him, then she would be too selfish!
Letting go is also a form of love!
Luo Ning's words successfully created an awkward silence. Xie Chang'an's face darkened beyond description. He stood up abruptly and left the bridal chamber.
"Such a stubborn temper!" Luo Ning muttered, pursing his lips.
His later wife in his past life was able to tolerate him; I guess good looks are everything!
Luo Ning was completely unaffected by Xie Chang'an. She happily boiled water to wash up, then hurriedly climbed into bed, wiggling her fair toes and humming a little tune. The day's experiences were so wonderful they could fill a novel, Luo Ning smiled.
The separation of the family today is the biggest victory. She thought she would have to endure it for a while. Thinking about it this way, Luo Ning was very grateful to Xie Chang'an.
They got their dowry back too, which is great and impressive.
The trick she deliberately showed today will probably keep them in check for a while. That family of scoundrels will have to think twice before trying to harm her or her family again.
Xie Chang'an walked around outside for a while, feeling completely chilled. His anger subsided considerably before he returned the way he came.
Luo Ning's words were actually what he had been hoping for; he didn't even know why he was angry.
Moreover, he had an inexplicable feeling towards Luo Ning...
Xie Chang'an could hear Luo Ning humming a tune from afar; she seemed to be in a very good mood.
This woman definitely doesn't like me!
Xie Chang'an pushed open the door to wash up and even lay down on the bed, but Luo Ning remained asleep, avoiding him.
Actually, she was afraid that in the dead of night, when a man and a woman were alone, the atmosphere would be too mysterious and ambiguous, and she might accidentally pounce on Xie Chang'an.
This is too outrageous; she can't handle it yet.
She would have to wait until she successfully lost weight and returned to her best condition before she could pursue Xie Chang'an. After he fell in love with her, the best version of her would meet the young him, and everything would fall into place naturally.
Xie Chang'an stared at the ceiling, his mind racing.
In just one day, he gained a completely new understanding of Luo Ning. The Luo Ning he saw was a completely different person from the Luo Ning he had heard about. Luo Ning was an enigmatic woman.
Moreover, her mind wasn't on herself; she liked the rooster's comb, a discovery that greatly frustrated Xie Chang'an.
He still hasn't realized that he's comparing himself to the rooster's comb, which clearly shows he cares about Luo Ning's performance.
He originally intended to ask Luo Ning what he wanted so much land for, but Luo Ning angered him so much that he didn't get a chance to ask.
When Luo Ning woke up the next morning, Xie Chang'an was nowhere to be seen. She stretched, got up to wash, and planned to make dumplings.
Thanks to her seventh uncle, she was able to successfully separate from the family yesterday.
Based on the impression she inherited from the original owner, Seventh Uncle wouldn't accept money, and besides, she didn't have any money.
In these times of scarcity, sending a nice meal is a good way to express your gratitude.
Luo Ning chopped some pickled cabbage and added it to the dumpling filling instead of making pure meat filling. The pickled cabbage was prepared by her family... They really are her parents!
Nowadays, rural areas are so poor that people are lucky if they can eat dumplings.
She was afraid that being too honest would frighten her seventh uncle and cause some trouble.
The fact that her husband's family lived too close to her parents' family was a real headache for Luo Ning, as there was nowhere for her to hide.
She took things out of her spatial storage in small, irregular pieces, afraid of being discovered.
The situation should improve somewhat after spring planting begins.
Luo Ning finished wrapping the dumplings, and Xie Chang'an returned just as the water boiled.
This man had a lucky stomach; he always managed to arrive at mealtimes on time. "Chang'an, you're back. I'd like to cook some dumplings to thank Uncle Qi."
Xie Chang'an was momentarily stunned by Luo Ning's smile; Luo Ning was definitely not considered pretty now.
Although she deliberately started dieting, it had only been a day, so there was no way to see any results, but she had an attractive quality about her...
Under Luo Ning's expectant gaze, he nodded subconsciously, "Okay!"
"Let's cook a pot first and send it to Seventh Uncle, then we'll cook ours when we get back!"
Luo Ning happily made the decision, picked up half of the dumplings and put them in the pot, which was about enough for Uncle Qi's family of four.
After the dumplings were cooked, Luo Ning locked the door and went with Xie Chang'an to deliver the dumplings as a token of their sincerity.
Snowflakes were falling heavily from the sky. The two walked one after the other on the road. They were physically close, but their hearts were far apart.
Luo Ning felt a pang of sadness. She looked up at the sky, her eyes misting over.
She wasn't crying; she just got water in her eyes.
In her past life, Xie Chang'an was too far away from her, like the bright moon in the sky.
She encountered all sorts of people, and as she reached an age where she could no longer delay, she was subjected to all sorts of persuasion from her old and new superiors and higher-ups. They did this eight hundred times a day, driving her to the brink of a nervous breakdown! In the end, she chose Pi Zi Cai.
Who knew he was such a loser? Her rise to fame was all thanks to him.
In this life, she will never meet that bastard again, but she will be able to get close to Xie Chang'an. Thinking of this, her mood improved a lot.
Xie Chang'an walked ahead, and although he didn't turn around, he could clearly feel Luo Ning's sadness...
What was she thinking? And why was she sad? Xie Chang'an was very curious.
He didn't know that all love begins with curiosity and ends with the loss of curiosity.
When the two arrived at Uncle Qi's house, Uncle Qi hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so Luo Ning asked Xie Chang'an to bring him dumplings.
Seventh Uncle repeatedly refused, but he couldn't resist Luo Ning's insistence. With sweet words, Seventh Uncle couldn't stop smiling and finally accepted it with a smile.
Is this a lack of social skills? Xie Chang'an remained skeptical of the information he had gathered.
Luo Ning not only understands human relationships and social customs, but he is also well-versed in them.
As he was leaving, Seventh Uncle called Luo Ning aside and said, "Luo Ning, your father isn't feeling well. Go home and visit him when you have some free time!"
"Oh, I understand!" Luo Ning's heart sank to the bottom, her thoughts drifting back to her unfamiliar yet warm family home.
Although Xie Chang'an was quite far away, he vaguely heard what his seventh uncle said and recalled the information Liu Chunsheng had revealed...
On the way back, Luo Ning remained depressed, and even after returning to the new house, she was still listless.
Xie Chang'an sat in front of the stove and took the initiative to start the fire, while Luo Ning waited absentmindedly for the water to boil so she could cook the dumplings.
“I heard from Chunsheng that your father’s old back pain has flared up again. I’ll send the allowance back next month, so you should find a doctor to take a good look at him. Today we’re going to town to buy some gifts for the bride’s return visit, and we’ll go to your house tomorrow!” Xie Chang’an said as if possessed.
"Really?" Luo Ning's eyes lit up, and she danced with joy. "That's wonderful!"
Suddenly, she remembered something and asked with a worried look, "Isn't your train at 12 o'clock tomorrow? Will you make it in time?"
She found out about it from Liu Chunsheng, and the thought of it made her feel depressed. She had to get news about her man from another man.
This sentimentality is unlike me. Luo Ning shook her head, trying to shake off the negative emotions.
She found out? Xie Chang'an was actually secretly pleased. "It's alright, I'll just go over for half an hour tomorrow and walk from your house!"
"Alright!" Luo Ning nodded in satisfaction. The water had just boiled, and she quickly put the remaining dumplings into the pot.
After the dumplings were cooked, they were served. The two sat around the table and ate the dumplings with great enthusiasm, creating a semblance of a peaceful and idyllic scene.
Luo Ning's dumplings greatly satisfied Xie Chang'an's appetite, and after the meal, Xie Chang'an took the initiative to wash the dishes.
Xie Chang'an was not a person who cared much about food. He had spent many years in the army and suffered a lot. He was not picky about anything and was happy as long as he had food. He was very easy to feed.
However, the food Luo Ning cooked suited his taste perfectly. In Luo Ning's words, he used to be rough around the edges, but now he was finally living a decent life.
Luo Ning was enjoying his leisure time and began to plan what to buy in town today.
Soon, she realized that she didn't seem to need anything, and she had more food and vegetables in her space than she could finish.
However, she could go and see if there were any businesses she could do, and try to earn her first pot of gold.
In this life, Luo Ning plans to conquer the business world and become a nouveau riche.
Before long, Luo Ning, filled with longing for the town, set off on the road, accompanied by Xie Chang'an, stepping through the snow.
