Chapter 364
July and August are the hottest months.
Xia Nuo had arranged to meet her right at noon, when the sun was at its fiercest.
A white sedan stopped outside the restaurant. An Ruo got out, closed the car door, and then quickly dashed into the restaurant.
The cold air hit her face, driving away the scorching heat outside, and she couldn’t help but relax comfortably.
Xia Nuo was already sitting by the window, waving at her, and she smiled as she went over to sit down.
“Hey, not bad, you’ve learned to drive,” Xia Nuo couldn’t help teasing her as soon as she sat down.
“I just got my driver’s license,” An Ruo replied with a slight smile.
Two months ago, when her leg had just recovered, Tang Yuchen had offered to teach her how to drive. However, she was too clumsy and took a long time to learn, only having just passed the driving test recently.
As soon as she learned, Tang Yuchen gave her a compact two-seater car.
She loved this model and she loved it in white, so now she almost always drove herself when going out.
Seeing the happy look on her face, Xia Nuo couldn’t resist pinching her cheek, “Little one, you must be living a good life lately. Your face is as fresh as a peach blossom, it’s almost as if ’I’m very happy’ is written on your forehead.”
An Ruo smiled, remaining silent. She indeed was very happy.
Tang Yuchen treated her very well, and they had a lot of fun together every day. Life was just as she wanted it, so naturally, she was very happy.
“Stop smiling, or I’ll get jealous. I’m already jealous, you’re paying today, watch me eat you out of house and home!” Xia Nuo said, feigning seriousness.
An Ruo still smiled brightly, “Go ahead, eat as much as you want, you won’t bankrupt me.”
“Hmph, it’s different when you have a rich husband!”
She wasn’t living off Tang Yuchen’s money; she hadn’t even spent all her own money yet.
Only Xia Nuo would think of eating hot pot in the middle of a hot summer day.
If it were any other woman, she definitely wouldn’t join her, but An Ruo liked it too, so the two enjoyed a good meal together.
While dipping some beef in the hot pot, An Ruo asked her, “By the way, you mentioned that once my leg healed, you’d introduce your husband to me. Take advantage of today being the weekend and call him over.”
Xia Nuo paused for a moment, then shook her head, “No can do, he’s on a business trip, and won’t be back for a month.”
“What a coincidence?”
“You think I’m lying?”
“Dare not, maybe next time then. Be sure to bring him out when he returns. I’ve been thinking for a long time and just can’t recall where I’ve seen him before.”
“You’ll know when the time comes,” Xia Nuo said casually.
An Ruo thought to herself, so it really is someone she knew.
That made her even more curious about who he was.
After eating hot pot for two hours, the two parted ways, each driving home.
On the way, An Ruo stopped at a famous beef shop and bought several pounds of seasoned beef, which was Tang Yuchen’s favorite.
The weather had been too hot lately, and he hadn’t had much of an appetite, so it was perfect for his meals.
Carrying the beef into the living room, Uncle Tao immediately came forward to take the bag from her hands, “Young Lady, a visitor has arrived.”
An Ruo was momentarily stunned and asked with surprise, “Who is it?”
This home usually only had Xia Nuo as a guest; none of Tang Yuchen’s friends had ever come over, so she was very curious about who it could be.
“She’s in the garden, I haven’t had the chance to inform the young master yet. Please go have a look,” Uncle Tao said cautiously.
In his eyes, it seemed as if he was hiding a secret.
An Ruo grew even more curious about who it was.
