Chapter 255: 096: Unexpected Surprise, Investigating Sun Dalian’s Past_6
Ni Yang said, “Mr. Xiaozhou, there is no need to be so polite. It was just a prescription, which is what someone in my profession ought to do.”
Her tone was calm. There wasn’t any trace of self-satisfaction in her eyes, as if she didn’t see this as something to be proud of.
As a detective, Xiaozhou had encountered all sorts of people, but he had never met anyone as modest as Ni Yang.
What’s more, she was only seventeen years old.
As Xiaozhou looked at Ni Yang, a phrase suddenly came to his mind.
Quiet as a chrysanthemum.
His admiration for her deepened even further.
He couldn’t help but wonder, what kind of family could raise such an excellent daughter?
After leaving the detective agency, Ni Yang headed back to the noodle shop.
Business was still bustling in the afternoon, but Ni Yang didn’t extend the shop’s opening hours. She kept to her regular closing time and the patrons also respected her routine. They would stop getting in line by 6:30 PM.
After work, Ni Yang headed to the vegetable market and bought some beef and lamb for a hotpot dinner.
The idea of a cosy night in, with the family gathered around the table and a steaming hotpot in the snow, was simply delightful.
It had been snowing all day, leaving a thick layer of snow on the road, at least ten centimeters deep.
Riding on snowy roads was certainly more challenging than on smooth lanes, so it took Ni Yang over forty minutes to get to the entrance of Jinghua Village.
Ni Cuihua had been worried about Ni Yang encountering any difficulties on her way, so she waited outside early, cradling little Ni Yun in her arms. Seeing Ni Yang riding home, she finally smiled. freewebnσvel.cøm
“Look, your sister is back,” Ni Cuihua told little Ni Yun.
On seeing Ni Yang, Little Ni Yun started to chirp excitedly, his eyes squinting with excitement.
“Yunyun, have you been a good boy and listened to Mommy’s words today?” Ni Yang bent down to pat little Ni Yun’s head.
At six months old, Little Ni Yun didn’t understand Ni Yang’s words. He only knew that he was happy to see his sister, and reached out, wanting her to hold him.
