On his first night as a substitute bride accompanying the army, the abstinent tycoon dropped his pre

Chapter 70 Can't go home recently?
After the meeting, Zhu Jing remembered that it was her birthday in two days, and said with a smile, "It's my birthday in two days, come over to my house for dinner!"

"Who did you invite?" Xiang Qin asked.

Things are different now. Before, there were fewer people in the residential compound, so they could set up tables in the yard to eat. Now, a large number of new family members have moved into the compound.

It's not good for just a few of them to sit in the yard eating chicken, duck, and fish.

Zhu Jing replied, "I didn't invite anyone, just the few of us."

Where do you plan to eat?

Zhu Jing was a little confused by the question. She blinked and pointed to the open space next to the stairwell, "Just put it here. Didn't we use it for dinner last time?"

She was referring to the last time she visited the family compound to welcome Wen Ci.

“These buildings around here are all full of people. Isn’t it inappropriate to hold a small banquet in the courtyard? Besides, men are concerned about their image and prefer to eat out…”

Xiang Qin's words made Zhu Jing fall into deep thought.

She understood the implication in Xiang Qin's words: the birthday banquet would definitely invite the men from all the families. Originally, the plan was to have two tables, one for the men and one for them and the children.

Suddenly, Zhu Jing seemed to remember something, looked at Wen Ci, and asked, "Wen Ci, can we have dinner at your house in a couple of days?"

The yard of the three-bedroom house can easily accommodate three or four tables.

“Sure.” Wen Ci agreed without hesitation. “Of course, I can help out on the weekends.”

After chatting, Wen Ci returned home. Her old bicycle was casually parked in the middle of the house, shining brightly in the sunlight.

The door to the inner room was wide open. Wen Ci peeked inside, assuming the man was still home, and called out in a soft, sweet voice, "Huo Jingyuan~ Commander Huo~"

She was willing to give people away, but deep down she still wanted to ride a bicycle in her own yard, letting that scoundrel of a man take her for a spin.

Seeing that no one answered for a while, Wen Ci went up the steps to the inner room. She looked around the room but did not find Huo Jingyuan. She muttered to herself, "Hey, could he have gone to work?"
-
The next day, Wen Ci went to work as usual.

Yesterday, I received a call from Huo Jingyuan on his landline at home. He said he might not be able to come home for the next couple of days, and I'd have to eat cafeteria food for the next two days. He'll make it up to me properly when he gets back.

As soon as Wen Ci arrived at the hospital, she overheard her colleagues discussing how the military region had temporarily suspended bus services. Curious, she interjected, "What about the families in the family compound?"

"It seems like they sent military vehicles to pick them up."

Yu Qing walked over to Wen Ci and asked in a low voice, "Is it related to the punctured car wheel?"

"probably."

Wen Ci's expression turned serious; her suspicions were indeed correct. The bus's repeated instances of punctured tires suggested something was amiss.

"What about the costumes for our military arts performance..."

Wen Ci: "..."

I almost forgot about this.

Wen Ci gasped. There was still half a day before the military arts performance tour, during which time the relevant problems should be found.

If all else fails, ask someone to bring two costumes for the water sleeve dance from Shanghai.

Wen Ci calmly said, "Let's practice our own dance first. Don't worry about the clothes." She paused for a moment, then said humorously, "As the old saying goes, 'When the boat reaches the bridge, it will straighten out.'"

Yu Qing laughed out loud.

The sun rises in the east and sets slowly in the west. Wen Ci went straight to the cafeteria after work. Her home was empty, and she didn't want to wash the dishes, so she decided to eat at the cafeteria.

Since the cafeteria changed its head chef, the number of people eating there has increased noticeably every day.
