264: 264 264: 264 The chili powder on the skewered lamb was spicy, and Ye Tian took a gulp of beer to suppress it, then pulled a wry face and said, “I had no choice, all for the sake of feeding myself; can’t afford to care too much.”
Mo Yan watched the at-eating Ye Tian and couldn’t help but laugh, “Looking at the way you eat, does your wife not let you eat at ho?”
“It’s free, so there’s no harm in eating more.”
You little man.
Mo Yan lowered her head to sip her soup, no longer speaking.
The streets were bustling with people.
The year was nearly at an end, and everyone was preparing for the new one, their faces filled with sheer happiness.
“Did I hear you’re getting married?”
Mo Yan was done eating and spent so ti watching the passersby before feeling that watching the man in front of her who kept stuffing his mouth was more interesting.
“Um…
Yes, soon.” Because his mouth was full, Ye Tian’s voice was a bit unclear.
After taking a big swig of beer and swallowing the food in his mouth, he continued, “I haven’t bought a house yet.
My partner spends all day at ho looking at houses, looking at furniture.
Just don’t know when we’ll register.”
His tone was one of happiness.
You could clearly sense his inner joy from his words and actions; a gesture, a look, the way his fingers clasped, the unintentional uptick of his mouth—all signs of happiness.
Mo Yan stirred the lamb soup casually with her chopsticks.
The pale broth swirled with the movent, lamb offal swirling into a small vortex, “When do you plan to get married?”
“Uh…
New Year’s Day, maybe.
Not certain yet.
Anyway, I need to drag that rascal Shen Jingwei back by then, I want him to be my ring bearer.”
Mo Yan smiled, “You’ve thought of quite a lot.
Alright, I’ll bring him back for you by then.
Right now, he’s sothing of a figure in the military, getting leave approved should be possible.”
Speaking of Shen Jingwei, Ye Tian grew interested, “The Lei family hasn’t been causing trouble, have they?”
“What trouble could he cause?
If it were , I would have torn his house down.”
Ye Tian lowered his head to eat lamb skewers without speaking.
That’s you, if you were , you’d be groveling too.
“Shen Jingwei really wants to co out and help you.
He even asked about the rcenary business.
The two of you, uncle and nephew, are quite sothing—one desperately sends the other to the military for safety, and the other wants to jump out because of the forr.
Both are stubborn as mules,” Mo Yan said casually, sending Ye Tian into high alert.
Of course, he knew what rcenaries were, no rcenary on Huaxia’s soil was foolish enough to blab; this was the absolute no-go zone for international rcenaries, no team dared to take the risk.
Making money only to lose your life was sothing nobody would do.
“He wouldn’t dare!
If he cos out and becos that sort of thing, I’ll shoot him dead!”
Mo Yan waved her hand to indicate he should calm down, “What are you ranting about?
He’s just a greenhorn.
He can’t get far.
Right now, he’s the darling of the Northeast Army.
It’s remarkable.”
“Captured the Russian Alpha Team leader alive, vanquished the King of Northeast Tigers, and in a recent drill, three n broke away from the main force and together they took down the Red Army’s command center.
All the soldiers and asures were re set pieces before him.
Especially his performance in the jungle made even the veteran soldiers envious, not to ntion those coming down from the battlefield.
His stubborn and tough deanor not only didn’t lose him popularity but even built a considerable reputation.
In the military, it’s a world of tough guys, and no one would refuse a daring little tiger.”
“As long as he’s doing fine.
I have no demands.” Ye Tian loosened his clenched fist, relaxing his muscles before burying his head again in eating lamb skewers.
Mo Yan watched him eat the lamb skewers bite by bite, then lowered her head to eat lamb bread soup.
This Shanxi restaurant served authentic lamb bread soup; Ye Tian tore the bread into small pieces the size of fingernails and dropped them into the creamy lamb broth.
Watching the essence of the soup get absorbed into the bread, he would bite into one and savor the lingering fragrance.
“Aren’t you curious about why I left you here?” Mo Yan asked curiously.
“What else could it be?
I can’t guess.
At first, I thought maybe you wanted to secretly trail and investigate Eunuch Rui, then find an opportunity to finish him since he’s the most formidable one here at the Fengyue Lake villas.
But later, I wasn’t so sure; felt like there was another aning to it.
Then I thought maybe you wanted to go after that Liu Liyue from the northeast.
But from my observations, that’s unlikely.
Anyone is cannon fodder before her; there’s no room for resistance.
If I think further, could it be the Tan Family?
But Tan Xiao isn’t even in the country right now.
The remaining Tan Xin is still under strict party control; she has no capacity to deal with .
So looking at it, you’ve set up here to be cannon fodder, then I’ve been overthinking for nothing, better to drop it.”
Mo Yan listened to his litany of thoughts, and while admiring his ntal agility, a trace of worry crept into her heart.
Everyone liked obedient people, Mo Yan was no exception; she didn’t know whether the person she had picked could handle the position.
“Also, Miss Mo, if you want to do sothing in the future, I hope it won’t involve my family.
After all, you saved our lives.
But if it concerns the people around , I’ll spare no expense.”
Mo Yan spoke emotionlessly, “I’m interested in you, not the people around you.
Besides, it’s not even certain I’ll need you.”
After cleaning out a big bowl of bread soup, Ye Tian licked up the last piece of bread from the bottom of the bowl and said, “Better not to need .”
“Alright, I’m leaving.
If there’s anything in the future, I’ll co to find you.
Oh, and be careful around that gun-wielding guy with Liu Liyue.
He’s very capable.”
Ye Tian’s brows furrowed, “Qin Gui?”
“Yeah.
He’s the grandson of the Northern Gangster Leader Jia Dafang, doesn’t use knives, only loves guns, known as the Gun God in worldly society.
Good with all types of guns, no idea who trained such a guy.”
Watching the retreating figure disappearing into the crowd, Ye Tian murmured to himself, “Is this your way of showing concern?”
