Flash Marriage Officer: The handsome military wife controls the system and brings her husband to cou
Chapter 498 I admire her determination
As autumn approaches, the temperature in the north begins to drop sharply, and the first winter snow arrives in late November.
When the white snow began to cover Kyoto, Ji Luo no longer ran to the courtyard so often. Tuan Tuan was also well-behaved and sensible. He asked Zuzu to take him to and from school every day, and would not let his mother drive to accompany him at night. He would only return to the courtyard to live on weekends.
In a blink of an eye, it was the weekend again. Ren Rongjun had just returned from a business trip, and it was snowing heavily. Ji Luo called to invite his grandparents and his uncle and aunt to have a meal at Zuihuajian.
"Three comrades, welcome to Zuihuajian."
The waiter welcomed the three guests in. After they finished brushing off the snow on their bodies at the door, he warmly invited them: "Please come in. There is a big stove in front to warm yourself up. You can warm yourself up by the fire first to drive away the cold."
Ji Luo and Ruan Minghui had just arrived here and had just arranged a private room and ordered some food. They were sitting by the stove warming themselves by the fire when they saw a guest coming and they stood up and made room for him.
The two just stood up and saw that the person who came in was an acquaintance. Ji Luo's expression froze for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal: "Uncle Qin, Director Bai, Qin Dongxu, long time no see."
"haven't seen you for a long time."
The ones who spoke were Qin Shao and his son. Bai Xuemei pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly.
"Please come in, there is a fire here, you can warm yourself by the fire to ward off the cold first." Ji Luo made room for him.
Ruan Minghui followed her, but his eyes were fixed on Bai Xuemei. He had already guessed her identity in his heart, but pretended not to know and said nothing else.
Qin Shao also shifted his gaze from Ji Luo to Ruan Minghui, and said naturally: "Ji Luo, is this your classmate?"
"He's not a classmate, he's my cousin." Ji Luo replied with a faint smile.
Seeing that the elders asked about him, Ruan Minghui politely shook hands with the elders and introduced himself: "Hello, uncle and auntie, my name is Ruan Minghui, and Ji Luo is my cousin's wife."
Qin Shao understood that he was Ren Rongyan's cousin, and he looked like a college student. He smiled and chatted: "Comrade Ruan, are you also studying in Kyoto?"
"Yes, my cousin's wife and I are in the same school, but we study different majors. I study law."
"So he is also a top student at Kyoto University."
The two sides exchanged a few simple pleasantries. The waiter came over with the menu. Seeing that the boss knew the three guests, he hurried forward to ask: "Three comrades, do you have any companions?"
"Also, we have a large table of guests, about eleven or twelve people. Please help us arrange a large private room." Bai Xuemei took over the conversation.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
The waiter handed her the menu and asked, "Comrade, we serve the dishes very quickly. Should we start preparing them now, or wait a little longer until the guests arrive?"
"Let's wait a little longer. I'll order the dishes first. It won't be too late to prepare them when they arrive."
Bai Xuemei and her friends have come here to eat two or three times. They like the food here very much and know that the food is served very quickly.
If you listen carefully, you can actually hear that her voice is a bit similar to Ji Luo's. Ruan Minghui saw that his sister-in-law was standing there calmly and naturally, treating Bai Xuemei as an ordinary guest. He really admired her composure and character.
If the same thing happened to him, he would definitely not be able to remain so calm. He would not be able to treat his own mother as an unrelated stranger, let alone greet her current husband calmly.
Qin Dongxu didn't say anything when he first came in. He sat by the stove for a while, feeling that his body was not so cold and stiff anymore. Then he spoke, "Why isn't Tuan Tuan here today?"
"He's been staying at his grandparents' house for a while now. I've also invited them to come over for dinner today. They should be on their way now."
Ji Luo also spoke to him in a casual and natural manner. Seeing the waiter bringing tea, she personally served tea to the three of them, "Since your companions haven't arrived yet, sit here and warm yourself by the fire, and drink a cup of ginger tea to drive away the cold."
"Thank you."
The three of them expressed their gratitude.
Qin Dongxu took two sips of tea and moved his eyes to her belly. "I heard from Li Zhen that you are pregnant with twins. How many months are you pregnant?"
"More than four months."
"When the next semester starts, you'll be about to give birth, so you'll have no choice but to take a leave, right?"
"Yeah, I'll take three or four months off then."
The two of them were chatting nearby. Bai Xuemei was looking at the menu and choosing dishes. In fact, she was listening with her ears pricked up, but she never looked up at Ji Luo.
Ruan Minghui noticed the subtle changes in her expression. Seeing that they fell silent while talking, he asked the waitress at the right time: "Sister Liu, has the private room been arranged for the guests?"
"It's arranged. Peony Pavilion on the second floor of the Central Courtyard."
The waiter was standing outside waiting for the call, and now he came in and asked, "Three of you, are you going to the private room now?"
"Let's order the dishes first." Qin Shao replied.
"Okay, take your time." The waiter said and left.
Just as Ji Luo was about to say that she would not disturb them from ordering food and was about to leave, the little dumpling wrapped up like a ball rushed in and shouted as soon as he saw her, "Mom."
"Oh, my dear, you came so quickly."
Ji Luo bent down to hug him, but when Tuantuan saw her bulging belly, he took a step back and shook his head: "Mom, if you hug me, I will crush my sister. I don't want to be hugged anymore."
"Okay, then mommy will squat down and hug you gently."
Ji Luo would not ignore him just because she was pregnant. She hadn't seen him for a week and missed him a lot. She stretched out her arms to him with tenderness in her eyes: "Little friend Ren Yunqian, come and give me a hug."
"Hey, mom."
Tuantuan actually likes his mother hugging him. He jumped into her arms with a smile and said in a sloppy way, "Mom, I miss you so much."
Ji Luo hugged him and kissed him hard, "Mom misses you too."
"Oh, there's a big stove here for warming up."
Old Master Ren, wrapped in a military coat, strode in. Seeing the fire in the stove burning brightly and other guests nearby, he nodded to them in a friendly manner and said to Ji Luo with a smile, "Luoluo, this stove is well arranged. It's the coldest time of the year and guests are coming to eat in the snow and wind. It's just right for them to come in and warm themselves up to drive away the cold."
Ji Luo hugged his son and stood up with a smile: "Grandpa, is everyone here?"
"Your aunt and her family haven't arrived yet. They are on their way."
The room for warming the fire was not big, and no one else came in. Madam Ren stood outside and shouted, "Old man, let's go sit in the private room. Other guests are warming up by the fire here. Don't take up a seat. There is heating in the private room, too."
"Okay, here we come."
Old Master Ren glanced at Bai Xuemei who was lowering her head, but without seeing her face clearly, he turned and left: "Luoluo, you continue to entertain the guests. Minghui, you lead the way, we will go to the private room first."
After saying that, he called his beloved great-grandson away: "Tuantuan, let's go to the private room with Grandpa."
