After sitting in the car for a while, Cheng Ji and Fu Yao calmed down.

Fu Yao didn't want Cheng Ji to dwell on those emotions anymore, so he coaxed her by saying he wanted to eat noodles.

Cheng Ji understood Fu Yao's good intentions and nodded obediently.

The state-run restaurant was nearby, and Cheng Ji stepped on the gas and arrived at the door.

It's still quite early, and there aren't many people in the shop yet.

Cheng Ji and Fu Yao found a seat by the window.

"Come on, take a look, what do you want to eat? Don't just eat noodles, since we're out, let's eat something better." Cheng Ji pointed to the small blackboard at the order counter.

Fu Yao held his chin, looking somewhat conflicted.

"I don't know what to eat, I've been eating too well these past two days."

Fu Yao touched his stomach and blinked his innocent big eyes at Cheng Ji.

Cheng Ji chuckled and stopped making things difficult for Fu Yao.

"How about something refreshing for dinner? A vegetarian three-delicacy noodle soup, with a braised egg?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Yao's eyes lit up.

"Sure, I heard from Sister Haixia last time that the vegetarian noodles here are delicious!"

"Then give it a try." Cheng Ji smiled indulgently at Fu Yao, then got up to order.

Fu Yao cupped his face in his hands and smiled gently.

There weren't many customers at the moment, so the noodles were served quickly. Fu Yao had thought he wouldn't be hungry since he had eaten so much at noon. But after a few bites of noodles, his appetite was instantly whetted.

She ate with increasing relish, even drinking a few sips of the noodle soup.

Seeing this, Cheng Ji gave some of the noodles he hadn't eaten from his bowl to Fu Yao, and also asked for two pickled mustard green buns.

Cheng Ji did all these things very naturally, without any mockery on his face, but Fu Yao buried his head in his bowl of noodles, feeling very embarrassed.

She found that she was eating more and more these past few days, and she would feel very anxious if she didn't eat for a while, just like a big eater.

But when he thought about the four babies he was carrying, and how he was eating so much to provide them with nutrition, Fu Yao straightened up from his bent back.

She touched her belly and thought to herself, "Babies, it's okay. Mommy isn't ashamed. As long as you grow up strong and healthy, that's all that matters."

After mentally preparing himself, Fu Yao calmly picked up a steamed bun and started eating.

Cheng Ji sat opposite her, watching her with interest. "Want two more?"

Fu Yao pouted, then arrogantly held up one finger.

"I'd also like a meat bun."

"Okay!" Seeing how cute Fu Yao was, Cheng Ji couldn't help but smile.

He didn't think Fu Yao ate too much; he just felt that the little girl had suffered a lot in the past and her body was severely depleted.

Otherwise, how could she eat on time every day without gaining any weight in her small frame?

Thinking of the malted milk powder he got from Cheng Weihua today, Cheng Ji made a decision.

"From now on, every morning when you get up, make yourself a cup of the malted milk powder that Grandpa gave you."

"That's good for your health, drink more of it to replenish your nutrients. You're so thin right now, that's why you get hungry so easily."

"Eat without worry, my salary is enough to support you."

Fu Yao blinked, her ears slowly turning red. She hadn't expected Cheng Ji to be so considerate in making excuses for her poor appetite.

Since that's the case, then she won't hold back.

"Okay!" Fu Yao nodded, accepting Cheng Ji's kindness without hesitation.

Cheng Ji also felt extremely comfortable; he didn't want Fu Yao to be too reserved with him. Now that they were married, he would try his best to treat her well.

The couple chatted and laughed at each other by the window, while across the street stood two angry people.

"I knew it was that bitch! The gatekeeper even said Cheng Ji had something important to do, but wasn't he just trying to avoid getting us a car?"

Seeing Fu Yao sitting comfortably and elegantly eating at a state-run restaurant, while she was sweating profusely on a crowded bus, Sun Qianqian gritted her teeth in anger.

Liu Shaoqing stared at Fu Yao, who was smiling and talking through the window, his face ashen.

Several days have passed, but he still can't believe that Fu Yao is actually with Cheng Ji.

There was a time when Fu Yao's eyes and heart were filled with nothing but him!

The more Liu Shaoqing thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. Especially recently, Sun Qianqian had lost face by apologizing to Cheng Ji, and she was being very difficult to deal with every day. She would easily lose her temper if she wasn't careful.

In comparison, he missed the kindness Fu Yao had shown him even more.

Liu Shaoqing glanced at the two people opposite him, who were living in perfect harmony, and a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes.

No, he must break up Fu Yao and Cheng Ji. Fu Yao must be his.

However, he has been kept under close watch by Sun Guoqiang recently and has no chance to make a move.

He looked down at Sun Qianqian beside him, and an idea immediately formed in his mind.

"Qianqian, it's all my fault. If my position were higher, those people wouldn't dare to look down on us."

Liu Shaoqing lowered his head, looking extremely restrained.

Sun Qianqian couldn't stand Liu Shaoqing's behavior. Provoked by him, her anger and jealousy flared up instantly.

"Why are you trying to deflate your own ego? My dad already said that as long as Cheng Ji is taken down, you'll be the next leader."

"Really? Qianqian, but I couldn't even handle Fu Yao's matter properly, and you suffered so much injustice."

"Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's not provoke them. I don't want you to get scolded."

Liu Shaoqing looked up at the right moment, his eyes filled with heartache as he looked at Sun Qianqian.

Sun Qianqian was immediately even more satisfied. She waved her hand and said nonchalantly, "My dad was just trying to scare us. Don't take it seriously."

"Hmph, this little bitch dared to extort three thousand yuan from me. In all my years, no one has ever dared to make me suffer like this."

"Just wait, I'll make her cough up the money."

"Qianqian, Fu Yao has Cheng Ji backing her. If we deal with her now, Cheng Ji will definitely protect her."

"I think it's better to let them get divorced first. Then, you can easily control her with just a few words, right?"

Seeing that Sun Qianqian was not doing what he wanted, Liu Shaoqing quickly gave her a hint.

Upon hearing this, Sun Qianqian glanced at Liu Shaoqing with a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

"Liu Shaoqing, you're not still thinking about that little bitch, are you?"

"No, no, Qianqian, I'm just giving you advice. After all, Cheng Ji's power is too great now, we can't fight city hall."

Liu Shaoqing felt a little nervous under Sun Qianqian's suspicious gaze. He hadn't expected his foolish wife to be so clever one day.

"Fine, I knew you wouldn't have the guts. But what you said does make some sense." Sun Qianqian chuckled.

Liu Shaoqing smiled ingratiatingly, a dark glint in his eyes.

At this moment, Fu Yao and his wife were unaware that the person opposite them was plotting against them, and they were discussing wedding banquet arrangements.

Nowadays, people don't hold wedding banquets. Those who are better off might invite close friends and relatives to a table or two. Those who aren't well-off will just sit around eating some melon seeds and peanuts, and that's it.

People with special status like Cheng Ji are now keeping a low profile.

"I heard from them this month that the principal has attended several wedding banquets, so let's come next month to avoid the same time."

"OK."

Fu Yao nodded, having no objection to Cheng Ji's actions.

After all, this year is not a peaceful one.
