Chapter 227
Ning Xia gave Cheng Shuo a sideways glance and said, "It's fine that you often come to compete with me for jade, why do you still want to poach people?" She then shouted at Xiao Chen in the kitchen, "Hey, that Mr. Xiao, Someone wants to poach my corner, what do you think?"

Xiao Chen just turned his head, and continued to cook his dishes without answering. He was wearing a mask, so his expression was often invisible, and it was difficult to see his emotions from the surface.

Cheng Shuo has always felt that communicating with such a person who refuses to show his true face is an obstacle, since he is not used to it anyway.He whispered to Ning Xia, "Don't you think he's too weird? He wears a mask all day, so he's not some kind of wanted criminal, right? You have to be careful."

Ning Xia smiled and didn't take it seriously, Xiao Chen's mask was custom-made for him by her, as for the face behind the mask, she had seen it before, and knew why he refused to show his true face, so no matter what ideas Xiao Chen instilled in her, , will not affect her opinion of Xiao Chen.

Ningxia lowered her voice and said to Cheng Shuo, "You are too serious. If he is like that, I would have sat down with Lord Yan to drink tea by now." Then he put down the menu and ran to Xiao Chen's side, Go to taste the dishes that Xiao Chen has prepared, and praise him for his progress while eating.

Cheng Shuo sat in the living room, feeling as if he had been forgotten. After sitting for a long time, he became bored, and told Ning Xia that he had to leave beforehand.

Ning Xia ran out from the kitchen and called him, "It's almost noon, let's eat here. Xiao Chen's cooking skills are getting better and better, definitely not worse than chefs in big restaurants."

Cheng Shuo sneered in his heart, and looked at Xiao Chen's back in the kitchen with some disdain. When he saw Xiao Chen for the first time, he felt uncomfortable looking at him.No matter how good a chef's skills are, he's still a cook. What's the future?This Xiao Chen is at best Ningxia's personal male nanny.Such a man would really not be his threat.

On the surface, Cheng Shuo's attitude was still gentle and courteous, and he said to Ningxia with a smile, "Next time, I still have a good bottle of red wine at home, so bring it here to match the delicious food!"

Ningxia smiled like a flower, nodded and said hello, and then sent Cheng Shuo to leave.

When she came back, she sat on the sofa with her chin in her hands, wondering what she was thinking about.

Xiao Chen's food was also ready, he walked out of the kitchen, untied his apron, and asked Ning Xia, "What's wrong?"

Ning Xia looked up at Xiao Chen and said, "Do you think Cheng Shuo is strange?"

Xiao Chen looked at Ning Xia indifferently and said, "You should have known him longer, if you don't have the right feeling, then I can't talk about anything here."

"En!" Ning Xia smiled, and knew that she was asking Xiao Chen for nothing.After taking the mobile phone, she made a call to Uncle Fu, and heard that a new batch of woolen materials had come in from Uncle Fu. She couldn't sit still, but she couldn't go there during the day, she had to go to see the goods at night.In this way, she hopes to avoid Cheng Shuo's surveillance.

"Okay, I'll go to see the goods with you in person at night." Uncle Fu readily agreed, but Ning Xia frowned. It wasn't the first time she had dealt with Uncle Fu, and she didn't know about this old man. What is it like?Ken accompanied her to look at the goods at night, there must be articles in it.However, Ningxia is not afraid of Uncle Fu's intentions, they can only have business transactions, one buys wool and the other sells wool, the only difference is the price, if they can't reach an agreement, if she doesn't compromise, Then it's a big deal not to buy his wool, what else can I do?

"Then I'll trouble you when you get old." Ningxia's thoughts on Uncle Fu are different, but how polite he should be.

"Come back after twelve o'clock." Uncle Fu instructed over the phone.

"It's so late." Ning Xia frowned, even if it was a watermelon in the vegetable market, she had to pick and choose carefully, let her go there so late, anyway, if the time is delayed, it will last all night.

Fu Bo laughed and said on the phone, "Several old customers have already made an appointment to see the goods tomorrow. I want you to come and see the goods as early as possible among them. If you think it's too late, then just wait for those few After reading the old customer, I will make another appointment with you."

Waiting to go tomorrow, wouldn't it be the same as eating soup after watching others eat meat?Although she has special abilities, she has a high chance of picking up the missing ones, but if she can get ahead of others, why wait for others to pick up the rest.What's more, picking up the leak is like luck, there is no guarantee that she will find the treasure every time.

Ning Xia immediately changed his position and said with a smile, "One minute past twelve, I will definitely be on time, just don't forget to go."

"That's it." Forbe replied with a smile, and then hung up the phone.

Ning Xia threw the phone on the sofa casually, stood up and said to Xiao Chen, "Let's have dinner right away, and then we all go back to our room to sleep, you can sing with me in the middle of the night."

"What?" Xiao Chen was confused, he seemed to have heard of an old movie called Midnight Singing, so his heart moved, thinking that Ning Xia wanted him to accompany him to the midnight movie.

Ningxia smiled slightly, and replied, "I went to Fubo's warehouse to look at woolen materials."

Only then did Xiao Chen suddenly realize what he had misunderstood just now, "I thought you asked me to accompany you to watch a midnight movie. I seem to remember an old movie called Midnight Singing."

Ning Xia smiled, at first she didn't pay attention to Xiao Chen's words, when she was about to enter the kitchen, she suddenly remembered something, stopped and turned around, just bumped into Xiao Chen who was following her, she bumped into On his chest, the metal buttons on his shirt scratched his forehead, the slight pain diverted her attention, and she forgot what she wanted to ask Xiao Chen just now.

"You always walk like a ghost, you have to take full responsibility for such a traffic accident!" Ning Xia said to Xiao Chen slightly annoyed.

"It's because you are always absent-minded." Xiao Chen stretched out his hand to help Ning Xia rub his forehead, his eyes looking at Ning Xia became very soft, like a pool of spring water.

Ning Xia accidentally fell into his pool, and it took him a long time to climb out.When eating, she became weird, peeking at Xiao Chen from time to time, and then her eyes became watery, as if they were about to overflow in the next moment.

No matter how Xiao Chen looked at it, he felt that Ning Xia was not eating, but drinking medicine, and it looked like he was drinking the bad Chinese medicine, so bitter that she wanted to cry.

"You took me for him again?" Xiao Chen lowered his head, looked at the rice in the bowl, suddenly lost his appetite.

Ning Xia hastily turned her head and wiped her eyes twice with her hand, and then said to Xiao Chen in a little embarrassment, "I'm sorry, your eyes are too similar to his." In fact, this kind of mistake is not the first time, Otherwise, Xiao Chen wouldn't have said to her directly, "You think of me as him again?" During this period of time, he has already figured out who "he" is in Ning Xia's eyes.

"Is it necessary to apologize? The two people look alike and it's not a mistake." Xiao Chen chuckled, lowered his head and began to draw white rice into his mouth, and then muttered in a low voice, "Today's rice is raw, it's so hard, it's so harsh pain."

Hearing what Xiao Chen said, Ning Xia immediately added rice and stuffed it into his mouth, then said doubtfully, "It's good, there's no raw food."

Xiao Chen only said "Oh" and didn't say anything else.

Ning Xia reacted a little slowly, and only now did she realize that something was wrong with Xiao Chen. She wanted to ask Xiao Chen how she knew that the movie was called "Singing in the Midnight", but now she was not in the mood to ask, and she thought about it for Xiao Chen. An answer, Myanmar and China are so close, and Xiao Chen is Chinese, so it is not surprising that she has seen a Chinese movie. Hasn’t she also watched many foreign movies?
When Ningxia's food was almost finished, Xiao Chen suddenly asked her, "By the way, is the 'Midnight Singing', a story about a man whose face is disfigured and then can't be with his lover?"

Ningxia put down the bowl and chopsticks, frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Maybe, I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it. I don't like movies with a scary atmosphere, but there seems to be a guy who likes it. It's very touching, and it's said that I've watched it several times." Ning Xia couldn't help but sigh after finishing speaking, and she thought of Nie Chen again.

Xiao Chen responded, got up and began to clean up the dishes.

Ning Xia's mood became very depressed because of thinking of Nie Chen, and she didn't bother to help Xiao Chen clean up the dining table, so she went upstairs to sleep.

She couldn't fall asleep at first, but when she fell asleep, she was able to sleep quite well, and she would sleep until midnight, otherwise Xiao Chen would wake her up, and she would have overslept.

"Is it twelve o'clock?" Ning Xia was still a little confused, she rubbed her eyes and asked Xiao Chen through the door.

"It's not yet, it's just eleven o'clock, I've already cooked dinner, it's just right time to go after dinner, it won't be too late." Xiao Chen said outside the door.

Ning Xia hurriedly got out of bed, the distance from here to Uncle Fu's warehouse is not too short, she doesn't want to be late, if she promised others, she must do it.

After they finished their meal, they rushed to Uncle Fu's warehouse, Uncle Fu also appeared on time, and asked one of his subordinates to open the door of the warehouse, allowing Ning Xia and Xiao Chen to enter.

This huge warehouse was pitch-black. Uncle Fu said in a daze that the light in the warehouse was broken, so he gave Ning Xia a flashlight and a candle for her to use casually, as if it was generous.

Ning Xia cursed inwardly, this old fox obviously wanted to test her eyesight.Fortunately, she didn't lose her good eyesight because of reading. If she was short-sighted, in such dim light, not to mention reading wool, walking without falling would be a big problem.

"Is it okay?" Xiao Chen asked Ning Xia in a low voice with a little worry, he still couldn't see these woolen materials clearly during the day, but at such a late night, with only a flashlight and candles, such weak light can clearly see those jadeite woolen materials ?
Ningxia smiled and said, "Don't you know? I heard that the former stone bettors looked at the goods in the middle of the night." In fact, it is better to look at the goods at night than at night. Ningxia knows many experienced gamblers. All jade players like to look at the goods at night. In the dark with dim light, it is easier to see the fog and reflections on the rough jadeite.
