547 546: Surprise

Kang Xiaoqiao looked at it. Because of her breath, the window was hazy. When Kang Xiaoqiao used her fair and tender hands to wipe it, something suddenly fell on her body from behind.

It was a thick sweater. Kang Xiaoqiao instinctively turned her head and saw Lu Yichen's gentle smile. "Be careful of the cold. You're wearing too little."

Kang Xiaoqiao tightened her clothes and chuckled. "I know."

Then, she continued to look out of the window. Lu Yichen could not do anything to her and shook his head. He touched her head and said, "Are you hungry? I'll go get dinner."

"Aunt Zhou made it early. She's just waiting for you to wake up, little lazy worm."

Kang Xiaoqiao glared at Lu Yichen when she heard that. Hmph, this shameless guy. He even pretended to be good after taking advantage of her. Why did she wake up so late? Wasn't it all because of him?

Lu Yichen smiled and went out. Not long after, the smell of rice came from the outer hall. Kang Xiaoqiao had also put on her clothes.

When she was at the kitchen door, she happened to see Lu Yichen's handsome figure standing by the table. He was very serious about arranging the food. When he saw Kang Xiaoqiao come out, he was stunned and said, "Eh, why are you dressed so neatly?"

Kang Xiaoqiao smiled and said, "After dinner, I'm going to build a snowman. Can't you see that the snow in the courtyard is already so thick?"

"Well, Yichen, can you build a castle for me?"

Lu Yichen was stunned and said, "Sure, come and eat."

When Kang Xiaoqiao heard that, she laughed so hard that her eyes were closed. When she saw the table full of food, she was especially happy. Her stomach was already beginning to sing the empty city strategy.

After dinner, she put on her hat, scarf, and thick gloves. Kang Xiaoqiao went out of the room. When she saw the white snow on the ground, she ran out with a roar.

She took out a handful of snow from the snow and scattered it in the sky. Then, she laughed loudly and turned around to roll on the ground. When Lu Yichen took the tools back, he happened to see Kang Xiaoqiao rolling on the snow.

He could not help but shake his head and berate her softly. "Get up quickly, or you'll catch a cold."

Kang Xiaoqiao chuckled and got up from the ground. Unexpectedly, this girl threw a snowball and hit Lu Yichen's chest. The snowball instantly shattered and splattered on Lu Yichen's face.

Lu Yichen's face instantly darkened, while Kang Xiaoqiao laughed and ran far away.

Lu Yichen narrowed his eyes and said, "Watch how I deal with you tonight."

Kang Xiaoqiao kept laughing along with the grimacing faces, while Aunt Zhou looked at the two people in the courtyard with a smile. Although she could not hear what they were saying at the door, she could still see the changes in Kang Xiaoqiao over the past few years.

She was a Wilderness wife, and a pitiful person who had sacrificed her husband. She could understand the pain Kang Xiaoqiao was in, so she could only cook delicious food for Kang Xiaoqiao in a variety of ways, hoping that she would be happier.

Usually, the most she could cook was the soothing soup. When Kang Xiaoqiao was in a nightmare, her heart ached when she heard the screams.

But now, Lu Yichen was back. Seeing Kang Xiaoqiao become so happy, she was happy. These days, she had not heard Kang Xiaoqiao's screams when she was in a nightmare. Of course, she also heard many indescribable voices.

She was so embarrassed that her face turned red. Now that she saw the two of them playing happily in the yard, she smiled and ran into the kitchen.

She had to cook more ginger soup. It was a cold day, and it was not good to catch a cold.

...

The two of them were having a great time in the courtyard. As time passed, a large castle and a beautiful snow white slowly appeared.

This time, there were no seven dwarfs. Instead, there was a handsome and charming prince accompanying them. When Kang Xiaoqiao saw this snowman, she smiled so widely that her big eyes curved into crescent moons. She looked very happy.

Lu Yichen also had a smile on his face. At this moment, Aunt Zhou shouted at the door, "Xiaoqiao, Officer Lu, I have cooked ginger soup. Do you want to drink some first? It will warm your body and you can play later."

Lu Yichen's eyes lit up when he heard that. "Xiaoqiao, you go and drink first. I'll be done soon. Just wait for me for a while."

Kang Xiaoqiao was a little unwilling, but Lu Yichen continued, "Look at your little face, it's red, and your hands are cold. Did you forget how you suffered when you had your period?"

...

Under Lu Yichen's bombardment, Kang Xiaoqiao had no choice but to follow Aunt Zhou back to the dining room.

As soon as she entered the restaurant, a wave of warmth surrounded her, making her feel like she was about to thaw. Before she could say anything, Aunt Zhou hurriedly said, "Hurry up and take your coat. It's very cold today. Be careful not to return to the tide once you come in."

Kang Xiaoqiao obediently took off her coat and hat. Then, she sat on a chair with cushions on it. She placed her hand on the heating pipe at the side and said with a smile, "It's so warm."

Aunt Zhou smiled and brought her a bowl of ginger soup. "I know you don't like the spicy taste of ginger, so I specially put some brown sugar in it for you. This brown sugar is a good thing. It will nourish your body."

"Add one of these two things. It will dispel the cold and nourish the blood. A woman must take good care of her body. If she doesn't pay attention when she's young, when she's older, she'll come looking for her--"

"Alright, I know you young people dislike my nagging. Come, drink it while it's hot."

Kang Xiaoqiao took it with a smile. To be honest, she didn't feel that Aunt Zhou was nagging. On the contrary, she was very close to Aunt Zhou. She had never treated her as a servant, but as a relative.

These few years, it was all thanks to Aunt Zhou's care. Although she didn't say anything, she still remembered it in her heart.

Kang Xiaoqiao had never been stingy with people who treated her well. Even if Aunt Zhou treated her well, perhaps it was because her daughter worked in her own company, but her sincerity was not fake, so... Her daughter was getting more and more important positions in the company.

After a few years of settling down, Kang Xiaoqiao's cosmetics company was now on the right track. Not only did they come up with new products, but they also hired celebrities as endorsements and advertised on TV stations. Therefore, this product had been bought everywhere, and it was extremely good.

Of course, they had also hired many agents for the counters. Almost all the major cities in the country had Kang Xiaoqiao's family's products, and the supply was in short supply.

Kang Xiaoqiao had been counting money until her hands were cramped. Her factory was getting bigger and bigger, and because of the traffic, there were now branches in other cities.

Aunt Zhou watched as Kang Xiaoqiao finished her bowl of ginger soup. She was grinning from ear to ear. At this moment, a few flashes of white light flashed outside.

Kang Xiaoqiao was stunned. She frowned. What was going on? Where did this light come from?

Kang Xiaoqiao had lanterns in her courtyard. Not only was there a lantern in the courtyard, there was also a lantern at the door. However, this light was not from the lantern at all. Moreover, this light was far away. It only flashed twice. Kang Xiaoqiao could not help but become curious.
