Chapter 515 Warm and cozy daily life during the day, tender moments under the lamp at night
Ye Haoxuan opened his mouth to catch it, chewed it, and looked at her tenderly: "You didn't eat these things much when you were overseas, did you?"
Shui Ling paused for a moment, then nodded gently: "When you're adrift overseas, you don't have the appetite for these things."
There was a hint of melancholy in his tone.
Ye Haoxuan held her hand, squeezing it tightly with his fingertips: "You don't have to wander anymore. Wherever I am in Hong Kong, you will be too. Whatever you want to eat, I'll bring you here."
Shui Ling felt a warmth in her heart, and grasped his hand tightly in return, her eyes filled with gratitude: "Okay."
The two leisurely ate snacks and chatted. Ye Haoxuan didn't mention the conflicts in the martial arts world, but only told her some interesting stories about the streets of Hong Kong. Shui Ling occasionally chimed in with a few words, and her smile never faded.
The two walked hand in hand, their shadows stretched long by the sunlight, like an ordinary couple, warm and content.
Before we knew it, evening had arrived, and the setting sun had dyed half the sky red.
Ye Haoxuan checked the time and stopped. "I'll take you back to the villa. I have things to do tonight. You should go to sleep by yourself."
Upon hearing this, Shui Ling felt a little disappointed.
However, she had long known that Ye Haoxuan had more than one woman.
If she minded, she wouldn't have gone back to the villa with Ye Haoxuan last night.
She smiled and nodded. "I'll wait for you to come back obediently."
She gently straightened Ye Haoxuan's slightly disheveled collar.
Ye Haoxuan drove Shui Ling back to the villa, and only after watching her walk through the door did he turn around and drive to Xiao Fangting's villa.
As soon as I got downstairs, I saw Xiao Fangting.
She was holding a stack of documents in her hand. She walked over quickly, got into the car, and handed the documents to him: "Haoxuan, look!"
Ye Haoxuan took it and looked down to read it.
Xiao Fangting sat to the side and said quickly, "The Zhongqing Society has been harassing the company's construction site. Today I called a meeting with the security department and the project manager and we have found out their background."
"The core stronghold is an abandoned warehouse in a back alley in Mong Kok. Here are their photos, activity records, and information on several leaders. All of this has been compiled."
Ye Haoxuan was increasingly satisfied with what he saw. He looked up at her, his eyes full of appreciation: "Well done, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard work." Xiao Fangting smiled, her face showing obvious fatigue, but her eyes were still bright. "I'm glad I could help you. With these, we can make targeted plans."
Ye Haoxuan ruffled her hair and said confidently, "Don't worry, I'll send people to take down their stronghold tomorrow."
"Once I've dealt with the Zhongqing Society, I'll personally go after the Ding family father and son. This time, I'll completely eradicate them, and no one will dare to harass you again."
Xiao Fangting felt a warmth in her heart, took his hand, and gently hooked her fingertips around his palm: "I believe in you, but you must be careful. Don't go into battle yourself; just let your subordinates do it."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Ye Haoxuan nodded and started the car. "I'll take you out for seafood hot pot tonight, to your favorite place, so you can have a good meal."
Fang Ting's eyes lit up, and the fatigue on her face instantly disappeared. She smiled and nodded, "Okay!"
Ye Haoxuan: "Get in the car."
After getting in the car, Ye Haoxuan helped Xiao Fangting close the car window a little and adjusted the seat back:
"Rest for a while if you're tired, I'll wake you up when we get there."
Xiao Fangting shook her head, turned her head to look at the neon lights flashing past the window, a smile in her eyes:
"No need, just thinking about eating hot pot makes me not tired anymore."
Ye Haoxuan smiled and reached out to ruffle her hair:
"I still remember the first time you came to this restaurant with me, you ate three plates of beef rolls and were so full you couldn't walk."
"No way!" Xiao Fangting's cheeks flushed slightly as she gently slapped his hand away, her tone slightly coquettish. "It was you who insisted on putting more food on my plate that made me eat so much."
"Okay, okay, it's my fault." Ye Haoxuan followed her words, his eyes full of doting affection.
A dozen minutes later, the car stopped in front of the hot pot restaurant.
The boss was a cheerful middle-aged man who immediately greeted Ye Haoxuan as he entered.
"Brother Xuan, it's been a while! Same old spot?"
"Yes, the one by the window." Ye Haoxuan nodded and took Xiao Fangting's hand.
As soon as the two sat down, the owner quickly brought out the hot pot base, the bone broth was boiling and steaming.
Ye Haoxuan picked up the menu and recited a list of dishes:
"Handmade shrimp paste, premium beef rolls, fresh oysters, and a vegetable platter and frozen tofu."
These are all foods that Xiao Fangting loves to eat.
Xiao Fangting looked at him and smiled, "You still remember that I love to eat these."
"Of course I remember." Ye Haoxuan poured her a glass of plum juice and pushed it in front of her. "Try it, it'll help cut through the greasiness."
Once the broth was boiling, Ye Haoxuan first picked up a slice of fatty beef with his chopsticks and put it in. He cooked it until it changed color, then took it out, blew on it, and handed it to Xiao Fangting's mouth.
"Try it, it still tastes the same as before."
Xiao Fangting opened her mouth and took a bite. The tender and flavorful beef slices slid down her throat, and most of her fatigue disappeared: "Delicious!"
Ye Haoxuan smiled and helped her cook the shrimp paste.
He peeled the shrimp with practiced ease, pinching the shell between his fingertips and gently pulling it open to reveal the snow-white shrimp meat, which he then placed one by one into Xiao Fangting's bowl.
"Eat more to replenish your energy."
While eating, Xiao Fangting told him about what happened at the construction site that day, her tone light and cheerful:
"When I went to the construction site today, the workers were very cooperative and told me a lot of details about the Chung Ching Society, which will make intelligence gathering easier in the future."
"Thank you for your hard work, Tingting." Ye Haoxuan put down his chopsticks, looked at her with gentle eyes, "Don't run around so much in the future. Let the project manager keep an eye on things at the construction site. You just need to take care of the overall coordination."
"Okay." Xiao Fangting nodded, picked up a cooked oyster and put it in his bowl. "You eat too, this is very fresh."
The two ate and chatted, their conversation ranging from work to daily life, occasionally exchanging a few words, creating a warm and pleasant atmosphere.
The guests at the next table occasionally cast envious glances at the young couple standing together, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, their eyes filled with affection for each other.
After finishing our hot pot meal, it was already late at night.
Ye Haoxuan paid the bill, then led Xiao Fangting out of the hot pot restaurant. As the evening breeze blew, Xiao Fangting instinctively shrank her neck.
Ye Haoxuan immediately took off his coat and draped it over her, wrapping her up tightly: "Don't catch a cold."
His coat still carried his body heat and a faint smell of tobacco. Xiao Fangting felt a warmth in her heart, looked up at him, her eyes sparkling.
"Haoxuan, you're so good to me."
"Silly girl." Ye Haoxuan ruffled her hair, bent down and picked her up in his arms. "Come on, get in the car, let's go home."
Xiao Fangting gasped in surprise, instinctively wrapping her arms around his neck and pressing her cheek against his chest. Listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat, she couldn't help but smile.
After driving back to the villa, Ye Haoxuan carried Xiao Fangting through the door, gently placed her on the shoe-changing stool in the entryway, and bent down to help her change into slippers. His movements were very gentle, his fingertips brushing against her ankles, leaving a warm touch.
Xiao Fangting's cheeks flushed slightly as she looked at his serious profile, her heart skipped a beat.
After changing into slippers, Ye Haoxuan straightened up, picked her up by the waist, and carried her to the living room.
"Sit down for a while, I'll get you a glass of warm water."
Xiao Fangting nodded obediently, leaned back on the sofa, and watched his back as he walked into the kitchen, a faint smile on her lips.
Soon, Ye Haoxuan brought over a glass of warm water and handed it to her: "Drink slowly."
Xiao Fangting took two sips and had just put down the cup when Ye Haoxuan pulled her into his arms.
The man's scent wafted towards her, carrying the smoky aroma of hot pot and his unique flavor, which inexplicably made her feel at ease.
"You must be exhausted today?" Ye Haoxuan lowered his head and kissed her forehead, his voice deep and gentle.
Xiao Fangting shook her head, reached out and hugged his neck, and leaned in to kiss his lips.
Ye Haoxuan's eyes darkened, and he pulled her closer, deepening the kiss.
The living room lights were soft, illuminating their intertwined shadows...
