Li Jingming always felt that he must have spent too few days with his young wife.
He took Yang Lina's hand and continued: "Let's go to the kitchen, it's empty here."
Yang Lina nodded, holding Li Jingming's big hand tightly with her little hand.
She didn't know why, but she was always uneasy, always afraid that one day, this would be an irreversible dream.
She was as quiet as a rabbit, standing tightly beside Li Jingming, watching him boil water and make glutinous rice balls with her eyes.
Everything was at her fingertips. Yang Lina stared intently at Li Jingming's every move, as if she couldn't get enough.
The glutinous rice balls floated on the rolling water. Li Jingming added fermented glutinous rice into the bowl, took out the glutinous rice balls, added a little soup to the bowl, brought it to the table, took Yang Lina's hand and sat at the dining table.
"Hurry up and eat while it's hot. After eating, we'll go upstairs to rest."
Yang Lina nodded, picked up the spoon, scooped up a glutinous rice ball, blew on it, and delivered it to Li Jingming's mouth.
Li Jingming grinned and ate the glutinous rice balls in one bite.
"Why didn't you ask me how Xu Chengye was doing?"
He held his chin with one hand and looked at Yang Lina attentively as she elegantly ate glutinous rice balls.
"If you don't want to tell me, it will be in vain for me to ask.
Besides, you came back safely without any wounds on your body, I think Xu Chengye came back safely too."
Yang Lina smiled mischievously, scooped up another one and handed it to Li Jingming's mouth.
"That place was a bit far away. When I saw him, he was beaten so badly that his face was swollen like a pig's head.
I don’t think that group of people deliberately wanted to cause trouble for Xu Chengye. Since I went in to bet with those people, they didn’t seem to be as scary as I thought.”
Li Jingming told Yang Lina truthfully that when Yang Lina heard the word gambling, her hand holding the spoon froze.
"Did you bet with them?"
"Well, although I usually play cards, when I play cards with those people, I can only say that I know the cards. I am afraid that they will cheat, so I bet.
If I win, I will take Xu Chengye away."
"What if you lose?"
Yang Lina looked curious. She wanted to know how Li Jingming won the opportunity for herself and Xu Chengye to escape under the noses of those people.
"If I lose and both of us double our chips, I have to stay."
Yang Lina breathed a sigh of relief and put a glutinous rice ball in her mouth.
"Then how did you win?"
"When I went there, I happened to be sitting across from the man, who was shuffling the cards. I noticed with sharp eyes that one of the cards was stained with dirt, and that card happened to be the ace of hearts.
I know that if I play cards with him, even if I win, if someone makes a random move on his territory, I will lose.
So I had an idea and decided to compare myself with him.
When the gambling game started, I was afraid that he was cheating, so I asked the other party to choose the cards first and then turned over the cards. When I saw that the card in his hand was the King of Hearts, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief."
Li Jingming thought of that scene, and even he felt lucky for his cleverness.
Although Yang Lina felt uneasy about Li Jingming's gambling, she was relieved when she heard the method of gambling.
"Didn't those people see it?"
"It probably wasn't there when we left, but right now the one-eyed dragon must be studying how I defeated him. I'm sure he already knows where he lost and is so angry that he can't sleep."
Li Jingming said, raising the corners of his mouth.
Tonight's experience was really frightening, and at the same time it was like playing an exciting game.
"Jing Ming, if something like this happens in the future, let's call the police."
Although Li Jingming was back, Yang Lina still felt faintly uneasy after hearing what Li Jingming said.
"Okay, wife. Eat it while it's hot.
Also, when I came back, I met a woman on the way, and she said her name was Yang Xue."
Li Jingming did not tell Yang Lina why Yang Xue appeared. He vaguely felt that the car chasing him was not simple. If his wife knew about it, she would be worried for a while.
After thinking about it, he simply ignored the fact that someone tried to hit his car.
"Why did she tell you her name?"
Yang Lina has never been very curious about women, but tonight she felt very strange. How could a woman take the initiative to tell a man her last name most of the night?
Unless this man helps her, or she is interested in this man.
Since ancient times, there have never been unprovoked conversations and introductions between strangers.
There must be something fishy here.
Li Jingming was stunned for a moment.
Yes, why?
After thinking for a while, he said: "Her car almost hit my car, and then she got out of the car and greeted us and said her name."
Well, that's it.
After Li Jingming finished speaking, he nodded affirmatively.
Yang Lina glanced at Li Jingming meaningfully, lowered her head and put the last two glutinous rice balls into her mouth, her cheeks bulging.
"Okay, I'll trust you for now. I'm done eating."
After Yang Lina finished speaking, she wiped her mouth gracefully and touched her warm belly.
Li Jingming grinned and gently rubbed Yang Lina's head with his big hands.
"Sit here and wait for me. I'll wash the dishes."
Li Jingming said, quickly washing the bowls and pots, and then the two of them went upstairs.
Yang Lina always felt that this day was very dreamy. After cleaning up, she got into Li Jingming's arms.
After turning off the lights, Li Jingming still had lingering fears. In his mind was the person he was playing cards with?
Who is he?
Why can he be reminded of Yang Liye?
Is it because his eye is injured?
Or is it because he is wearing black gloves?
That situation made Li Jingming have to think more.
Although he didn't want to believe it, Li Jingming told himself that he had to be more careful about this matter.
Finally, he took Yang Lina into his arms and then forced himself to close his eyes.

On the other side, after Xu Chengye returned home, the house was dimly lit. Xu Chengye limped to turn on the light, but before his hand touched the switch, Xu Zhiwen coughed dryly in the dark night and raised his hand to turn on the light.
Xu Chengye was startled, and after seeing Xu Zhiwen's dark face clearly, he immediately smiled in a flattering manner.
"Dad, you came back very early tonight, huh?"
"morning?
Don’t you know what time it is now?
Who sent you back just now?
You’ve healed the scar and forgotten the pain, right?
You've only been back for a few days and now you're fighting with someone?
Look at your face, is there anything that looks human?"
Xu Chengye was so angry that he almost had a heart attack, but after he finished cursing, a trace of weakness flashed across his face.
He is really old and can no longer do it.
With his son’s football virtues, how could he dare to hand over such a large family fortune to him?
"Dad, I didn't cause any trouble tonight, it's just that someone deliberately targeted me. I didn't mean it.
