Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband

Chapter 213 The Single Beautiful Woman

At the moment when he sees Zhou Wenping, Luo Zhen feels all the flowers in the world bloom. He widens his eyes and stares at Zhou Wenping. He even forgets how to speak for a while.

Zhou Wenping sees Luo Zhen stare at her blankly. She holds out her hands embarrassedly. She gives a light cough.

Yi Yunrui takes up the tea for a sip, while he gives a sudden kick at Luo Zhen.

“Ah. Ouch! Brother, why do you kick me?” Luo Zhen is “woken” because of pain. He looks at Yi Yunrui in confusion.

Xia Ning feels embarrassed. She says to Luo Zhen at once, “Colonel Luo, the boss Miss Zhou is talking to you.”

“Oh.” Luo Zhen is shocked. Then, he strokes his head shily, “Miss Boss, you are too beautiful. I was too surprised to hear what you said. Hehe. Would you say it again?”

Zhou Wenping is amused by Luo Zhen. She mildly smiles and says, “Commander, my surname is Zhou. They all call me Pingping. May I know your name?”

“Oh. Oh. My name is Luo Zhen. They all call me Cannon Luo! You can also call me Cannon Luo.”

“Well, Commander Luo, how do you do! I wonder what kind of family dishes you like to have for lunch.”

Luo Zhen blinks his eyes. He turns to look at Yi Yunrui, “Brother, I don’t know what to order. You and Mrs. Yi may do that. I am fine with anything!”

Yi Yunrui turns to Xia Ning, “Sweetheart, he is from the northeast. Shall we order some northeastern dishes?”

Xia Ning nods, “OK.”

“Miss Zhou, he was my soldier. We are life-relying brothers. He is from the northeast. We want to have northeastern dishes.”

Zhou Wenping glances at Luo Zhen, “Oh. You are northeastern. It is not surprising. Well. No problem. Please wait for a moment. The dishes will be served soon.”

Zhou Wenping has a short conversation with them. When the appetizers are served, she leaves.

“Wow. Brother, this Miss Zhou is really beautiful. To be honest, except for Mrs. Yi and Commissar Mei, I have never met such a pretty woman.” Luo Zhen can’t help admiring. ????????????r????a????. ????????ｍ

Hearing this, Xia Ning’s face turns pink, “Colonel Luo likes kidding.”

“Ah. Mrs. Yi, I Cannon Luo never kid! I mean it. Brother, to be honest, even if we don’t have lunch here, it is worth anything to meet such a beautiful woman!”

Yi Yunrui mildly smiles, “Do you come to C City alone? Where is your correspondent?”

Luo Zhen slightly darkens his face. He strokes his head, “Hehe. I come alone. The military region doesn’t arrange any vehicles or money for me. If the correspondents come with me, they have to take a hard time with me. I didn’t bring them here.”

The short speech sounds bitter. Xia Ning slightly frowns. She wants to speak, when Yi Yunrui holds her hand and hints at no speaking for now.

“You come to C City, while Commander Nie doesn’t tell me that. He is quite arrogant.” Yi Yunrui says. He adds some tea for Luo Zhen, “You don’t need to worry about accommodation. C City is large with many hotels. As regards vehicle, according to your grade, I can arrange a Dongfeng Warrior for you. You are a colonel. It looks weird to carry the mission alone!”

Luo Zhen hears the displeasure in Yi Yunrui’s voice. He says, “Brother, I know you are kind to me. However, I come to C City this time for the purpose of catching the criminals. I don’t have much money, but I can take care of myself. Brother, you don’t need to worry about me.”

Yi Yunrui darkens his face, “So, are you going to obey your supervisor?”

Luo Zhen is shocked. He stands up immediately at once and salutes, “Yes, Sir!”

At the time, the foods are served and the table is fully occupied.

There are stewed chicken with mushroom, stewed catfish with eggplant, braised beef with soy sauce, sip pig kidney, soft fried pork fillet, stewed spareribs with deep-fried bean curd, fried potato, green pepper and eggplant, cherry pork, fried dry bean curd with hot pepper, added with a bowl of dough drop and assorted vegetable soup.

The dishes look nice and smell good. Luo Zhen swallows his water. He takes up the chopsticks. He remembers something and says, “Brother, Mrs. Yi, let’s have lunch.”

“OK. Let’s eat.” Xia Ning smiles to respond.

“Help yourself. You don’t need those formulas when with me.” Yi Yunrui says and picks a piece of fillet for him, “If you want to have any other dishes, just tell me. My treat.”

“It is enough. Except for in the banquets, I have never had so many dishes!” Saying this, Luo Zhen holds the fillet with his hand to bite.

Yi Yunrui talks to Xia Ning in a low voice, “Sweetheart, you know, Cannon is not a punctilious man. He is my brother...”

Not waiting for Yi Yunrui to finish his words, Xia Ning also picks a fillet and holds it with her hand to bite, “Ah, it is not spicy. It tastes good!”

Yi Yunrui is moved. He also takes up a fillet to bite.

“Brother, Mrs. Yi is really kind. If I can marry someone like her in the future, I will obey her in everything!”

Yi Yunrui smiles. He takes a tissue to wipe Xia Ning’s lips.

Luo Zhen says when he eats, “Mrs. Yi, northeastern dishes taste strong, but seldom spicy. You are born in the south, but you may like northeastern dishes.”

Xia Ning nods, “Yes. They taste much stronger than southern dishes, but I like them.”

“That’s great. Hahaha! Well. How can these dishes be so typically northeastern? They taste as if they are cooked by native northeastern people. The chef of this restaurant must be from the northeast!”

They eat and talk. Luo Zhen has a good appetite and eats quite a lot. Unconsciously, they have finished most of the dishes on the table. Luo Zhen is ninety percent full and slows down. He drinks the soup, “There are so many remains. We may want a doggy bag.”

At the time, Zhou Wenping comes in. She says, “Everybody, do you have any comments on today’s dishes?”

Not waiting for Luo Zhen to speak, Yi Yunrui responds, “My wife and I are not northeastern, but we think they taste good. If Miss Zhou wants to have the real comments, you have to ask my brother.”

Zhou Wenping turns to Luo Zhen, “Commander Luo, here is it. The existence of the restaurant relies on the guests’ comments and advice. When Commander Yi and Mrs. Yi came here before, I also asked for their comments. I hope Commander Luo can tell me frankly, good or bad. That is the best support for the restaurant.”

Luo Zhen wipes his mouth and drinks some tea, “Then, I may speak frankly! They are typically northeastern! To be honest, the taste is so great that it is rare even in the restaurants in the northeastern areas. I want to ask. Miss Zhou, is the chef a northeastern man?”

Zhou Wenping smiles, “We have quite several chefs. Some of them do from the northeast.”

Luo Zhen pats on his leg, “Not surprising!”

They talk for another while. In the end, Zhou Wenping offers them a thirty percent discount. Luo Zhen wants to pack the remains to take away. Yi Yunrui stops him, “There are six to seven dishes. It needs quite some packing boxes for them. It doesn’t look good. If you like, we will come here again these days.”

Luo Zhen glances at the dishes. He says, “Well. It is quite a waste.”

Yi Yunrui laughs. He draws Luo Zhen aside and says mysteriously, “Boy, let me tell you a secret. Miss Zhou is beautiful, but she is still single.”
