When Qin Hui returned home, dusk had already fallen. Upon arriving, he busied himself in the kitchen.
Qin Hui had bought a good amount of groceries from the market earlier. He stored everything he wouldn't be using tonight in the refrigerator.
After all, Sister Xue was always so busy with work that she rarely ate at home, and when she was home, she'd likely just order takeout.
Life nowadays was fast-paced, and many people preferred takeout to solve their mealtime issues. However, eating too much takeout was ultimately bad for one's health, which was why Qin Hui had prepared these fresh ingredients. Even if Sister Xue couldn't cook, she could at least boil some noodles.
Meanwhile, Chen Jiaxue was in the bathroom washing last night's clothes and sheets. She had slept in until the afternoon and felt sore all over even after waking up.
"Hmph, you little rascal, just you wait until tonight when I deal with you properly," she thought.
Chen Jiaxue clenched her small fist, a happy smile on her face.
Half an hour later, Qin Hui brought three dishes and one soup to the dining table.
The main dish was steamed lamb, incredibly fresh and delicious. Paired with Qin Hui's specially concocted dipping sauce, it was a divine experience.
The other two dishes were stir-fried lettuce and minced pork with eggplant, accompanied by a tomato and egg soup. Simple, everyday dishes were transformed into something extraordinary by Qin Hui's cooking.
"Mmm, it smells so good."
Chen Jiaxue, having finished her laundry, walked straight out, her eyes sparkling.
As a successful career woman, Chen Jiaxue had tasted all sorts of delicacies.
Yet, the food Qin Hui cooked had a unique charm. This wasn't just favoritism towards Qin Hui; his cooking was genuinely exceptional. If Qin Hui were to apply as a chef, his business would undoubtedly be booming. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Come on, dinner's ready."
Qin Hui served a bowl of rice for Sister Xue and himself, and then they began to eat.
"By the way, Sister Xue, I'll be heading to the mine tomorrow. There are some matters there that require my attention," Qin Hui said reluctantly. He didn't know how long he'd have to stay at the mine.
Their relationship had only recently become official, and both felt a sense of reluctance to be apart, wishing they could be together every day.
"Ah? Okay."
"But you must remember to be careful."
Although Chen Jiaxue felt a pang of sadness, she still reminded him to stay safe, understanding that Qin Hui had his own responsibilities. She fully supported him in this regard.
"Yes, I'll come to see you after things are sorted out," Qin Hui replied with a smile, feeling happy that Sister Xue understood him.
"Qin Hui, if you come to see me every day, won't Yanxi get jealous or upset?" Chen Jiaxue giggled, her thoughts turning to Qin Hui with a hint of possessiveness.
"Uh, I… I don't think so."
Qin Hui mused that Jiang Yanxi was likely a generous woman and wouldn't fuss over such things.
"Alright, let's eat. I'm just teasing. But don't neglect Yanxi; after all, she's your wife," Chen Jiaxue added, reminding him. She knew Qin Hui was exceptional and likely admired by many women. It would be a bit overbearing if she held onto him too tightly, especially since the women Qin Hui favored were worthy of pride.
Qin Hui was touched by Sister Xue's understanding nature, but it also filled him with a sense of guilt for not spending enough time with her earlier.
After dinner, Qin Hui brewed a cup of tea to aid digestion. Sister Xue retired to her room to rest.
As soon as Qin Hui finished his tea, the door to Sister Xue's room creaked open slightly.
"Xiao Hui, come in and rest," Chen Jiaxue called out softly.
Qin Hui put down his teacup and walked in, knowing he needed to get some rest before heading to the mine tomorrow for investigation.
However, upon entering the room, Qin Hui was captivated by the sight before him. Sister Xue had changed into a JK uniform, her slender, black-stockinged legs crossed, and her silver crystal high heels were particularly alluring.
"Sister Xue, what is this?"
Qin Hui's breathing quickened. Sister Xue, dressed like this, was incredibly enticing, even making Qin Hui's heart flutter.
"How is it? Do you like it?"
Chen Jiaxue slowly walked towards Qin Hui and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Chen Jiaxue was a woman in her early thirties, and her affection for Qin Hui was evident. Moreover, they had already shared an intimate night, so she felt comfortable being bold in front of him. There was nothing wrong with dressing up sexily for the person you loved.
"I like it."
Qin Hui embraced Sister Xue's slender waist and, before she could speak, kissed her seductive red lips.
...
The next morning, as dawn broke, Qin Hui got out of bed, feeling somewhat tired.
Last night had been another passionate one.
Sister Xue was sleeping soundly beside him, a slight smile gracing her lips, clearly content.
"Phew, if this continues, I'll be completely drained," Qin Hui thought, recalling a certain advertisement for a kidney-boosting supplement.
While Sister Xue was still asleep, Qin Hui knew it was time to leave. If he waited for her to wake up, he'd likely feel even more reluctant.
However, before leaving, Qin Hui prepared a nutritious breakfast for Sister Xue, placed it in the microwave, and left her a note. He knew she might not have time to eat breakfast otherwise.
As a martial artist, despite feeling a bit weak, Qin Hui felt his energy fully restored after taking a pill he had refined himself. If he were to sell these pills, they would likely sell out instantly.
At eight in the morning, Qin Hui drove his Porsche Panamera to the mine.
Upon arriving, he saw many construction workers. This area was slated to become a tourist attraction, and Jiang Yanxi had already begun preparations.
As soon as Qin Hui arrived, Jin Yan'er immediately came out to greet him.
Jiang Yanxi was extremely busy these days, so she had entrusted Jin Yan'er with managing the mine's redevelopment. Jin Yan'er's capabilities were undeniable, which is why Jiang Yanxi felt confident in handing over the project to her.
To Qin Hui's surprise, the handsome woman following Jin Yan'er was none other than Huang Qing.
"What are you doing here?" Qin Hui asked, genuinely surprised.
Seeing Huang Qing, Qin Hui felt a sense of foreboding.
"How dare you ask! You promised me you'd treat my injury, but when I went to your house, you weren't even there."
"Although we've stopped exploring this mine, as an official patrol officer, I have the right to investigate the mysteries of this mine with you." Huang Qing stated righteously, though her true intentions were hidden beneath this facade.
"I was busy, I forgot about you. But I've already prepared the medicine, here you go." Qin Hui quickly took out a topical herbal medicine from his pocket. He could offend anyone else, but offending Huang Qing meant offending the patrol. Qin Hui hated it when the patrol officers caused trouble.
