Before being reborn and getting married, the pampered young lady emptied her family's assets to

Chapter 165 It's been so long since I've had meat
"Besides, Liang Yi brings me rice and flour every few days, how can I accept your kindness for nothing?"

Anmin was about to speak again when Sister Wang suddenly lowered her voice and asked, "Has anyone been gossiping?"

She then remembered the look in Liu Yan's eyes that morning and shook her head: "No, I just didn't want to trouble you too much."

"Why are you being polite to me?"

Sister Wang patted the back of her hand: "Don't worry about work, I'll take care of things at home. When Liang Yi has time off this weekend, I'll have him make a wooden top for my little tiger, and that will be considered payment for his work."

"If you keep being polite to me, you're not treating me like an older sister, and I'll get angry."

Anmin couldn't help but smile, feeling much of the knot in her heart untied.

She glanced at the wall clock, stood up, and said, "I'll head back now. Liang Yi should be off work soon."

"Take this with you."

Sister Wang stuffed a handful of roasted peanuts into her bag: "Si'an, you can stay at my house tonight and sleep with me. You two can take a break."

Anmin looked at Si'an's obedient appearance and reached out to pat her head.

She knew that Sister Wang was thinking that she must be busy since she had just started working.

If the children are restless at night, Anmin won't get a good rest and won't have any energy at work the next day.

Anmin knelt down and coaxed Si'an, "Si'an, be good, sleep with Aunt Wang tonight, okay?"

Although Si'an didn't understand, she still nodded.

Since Si'an stayed behind, Shouye was naturally also kept behind by Sister Wang.

Anmin left alone, and she returned alone.

When Liang Yi got home, he was wiping his tools.

Seeing her return, he straightened up: "The child isn't back?"

Anmin poured the peanuts onto the table: "Sister Wang said that we should both get a good rest tonight, and she'll take care of the child. She also said we don't need to hire a nanny."

"Sister Wang is a very honest person. When she gets her salary next month, I'll buy her a piece of cloth to make her a new dress."

As soon as she finished speaking, An Min felt Liang Yi's gaze become somewhat intense.

The man wiped his hands clean and put his arms around her waist: "Minmin, come to think of it, it seems like it's been a long time since we've been alone together, hasn't it?"

Anmin was held in his arms, her cheek pressed against his cotton shirt which smelled faintly of sweat, and she softly hummed in agreement.

Liang Yi tightened his arms around her, his warm palms slowly caressing her lower back, sending a slight shiver down her spine.

"Sister Wang is indeed... very thoughtful."

He spoke softly, his voice tinged with amusement, his breath brushing against her ear.

Anmin felt her ears burning and tried to pull away slightly, but was held even tighter.

She looked up and met Liang Yi's deep gaze.

There was a longing in their eyes, a longing that had lasted for so long since they had gazed intently at each other.

There are also unspoken desires among adults, like an undercurrent of tide, suddenly crashing onto the beach.

His fingers ran through the hair at the back of her head, supporting her head, his thumb gently stroking her chin.

The room was eerily quiet, with only the occasional chirping of insects outside the window and the sound of their increasingly rapid breathing.

"Minmin."

He called out again, this time in a lower, hoarser voice, carrying a clear implication.

"It's just the two of us now."

Anmin's heart was pounding. She watched as he slowly lowered his head, his warm breath getting closer and closer until he finally kissed her lips.

It began as a gentle, tentative exploration, like a butterfly resting on a petal.

But it quickly turned into a deeper demand, and the long-suppressed emotions found an outlet on this night.

The kiss was long and lingering, lasting until both of them were slightly out of breath before they parted.

Liang Yi's forehead was pressed against hers, and there was a hidden fire burning in his eyes.

"Go inside?"

He asked in a low voice, his longing almost overflowing. An Min's face turned bright red, her heart pounding like a drum, but she still nodded almost imperceptibly.

With her tacit consent, Liang Yi scooped her up in his arms, causing her to gasp softly and instinctively wrap her arms around his neck.

He carried her in his arms and walked step by step toward the bedroom, his steps steady and quick.

The dim lighting in the living room elongated their shadows, making them intertwine.

The bedroom door closed gently, shutting out everything from the outside world.

This night belonged only to the two of them, and to that long-awaited tenderness.

Liang Yi was right. Ever since Si'an and Shouye were born, Anmin has basically had to sleep with the children every night.

Most of the time, Liang Yi could only stay in another room, or with two children between them.

They're both adults, and he's in his prime, so this is perfectly normal.

However, An Min did not expect that what she thought was a chance to rest from Sister Wang would actually be an opportunity for Liang Yi to eat to his heart's content.

She felt like she hadn't slept well all night, and when she woke up the next day, she was almost late.

If Liang Yi hadn't been riding his bicycle, she would have earned the title of being late on her second day of work.

Liu Yan sat in her office, watching An Min's beaming face, and snorted coldly.

"Comrades, this afternoon we are having a reception, which is specially held for the experts dispatched by our elder brother."

"A lot of people will be going from the research institute, and our entire translation team will be mobilized. This is a matter of national pride, so everyone must prepare well."

An Min had just sat down when she heard the head of the department say this.

As soon as the office director finished speaking, a rustling sound immediately filled the office.

Anmin quickly pulled out her notebook from her bag, the pen tip hovering over the page, the warmth of last night still lingering on her ear.

"Anmin."

Liu Yan suddenly turned her head and looked at An Min with a forced smile.

"This reception will depend entirely on you to make it a success, after all, your Russian was quite fluent yesterday."

An Min tightened her grip on the pen. What was Liu Yan being sarcastic about now?
Just as I was about to say something, the department head came over with a stack of documents.

"This is a background introduction of the expert team, as well as a draft outline for communication. Please familiarize yourself with it first."

He gave what he was holding to Anmin, which showed that he valued her highly.

This made Liu Yan extremely angry again.

The paper was printed with dense Russian text.

"At 3 p.m. in the guesthouse conference room."

The department head patted her on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, just think of it as chatting with your older brother."

Although Anmin is not formally trained, she is good-looking and speaks Russian well.

Since it was an external exchange meeting, the department head naturally wanted to select someone outstanding in all aspects to be the main speaker.

During her lunch break, Anmin ate a steamed bun while studying the documents word by word.

“Anmin, your notes are quite detailed.”

A colleague leaned over and, after speaking, added with some concern, "But I heard that expert Ivanov has a heavy accent, so we'll have to listen carefully."

Some experts come from the grassroots level, so it's normal for them to have a strong accent.

Andrei's accent is quite strong.

She had just nodded in agreement when Liu Yan walked in carrying a newly made Dacron shirt with a sparkling butterfly brooch pinned to the collar.

"When meeting foreign guests in the afternoon, I should dress presentably."

Liu Yan glanced at An Min's blue dress and smiled slightly.

How much money does Anmin earn in a month? The clothes she wears are enough to cover her entire month's salary.
