Detective: I, Cao Jianjun, started by arresting my brother-in-law.

Zhou Hui didn't think too much about it.

After all, Xia Jie's police uniform wouldn't arouse her suspicion.

"Huh? You'll stay with me?"

Zhou Hui was first surprised, then she couldn't help but laugh and cry: "Xia Jie, I know you. Jianjun told me before that you were an intern who entered the institute with Li Dawei and Yang Shu, right?"

"Yep."

Xia Jie was still a young girl, and after placing the vegetables and meat on the table, she said somewhat awkwardly, "Brother Cao said you're pregnant, and he's worried about you."

"Oh, I'm fine."

Zhou Hui dared not let the guests serve her, and pulled Xia Jie to sit on the living room sofa: "Jianjun has always been like this, making a fuss over nothing."

"Besides, I just got pregnant, how could I be in such a bad situation that I need someone to take care of me?"

"Come, come, sit down first..."

As long as two women aren't enemies, they can quickly start chatting enthusiastically once they sit down together.

Zhou Hui poured tea and served water to Xia Jie, while Xia Jie helped Zhou Hui cook rice and stir-fry dishes.

The two women were initially quite polite to each other, afraid of troubling each other, but later they started talking about what was delicious to eat, and their relationship quickly became closer.

Xia Jie, wearing an apron, busied herself around the stove.

Zhou Hui stood by the pool, wiping and washing, helping out.

"Sister-in-law, there's too much smoke in here, why don't you go out first..."

"Oh dear, you're not that delicate. I can't let you cook all by yourself."

"What's the big deal? I'll eat it anyway."

"Haha, Xia Jie, it's just the two of us at home, so don't feel awkward. Just make yourself at home."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I won't be polite."

The two women chatted and laughed. After dinner was ready, Zhou Hui opened a bottle of Rio cocktail for Xia Jie and poured herself a drink.

Sweet and sour pork ribs, braised crucian carp, plus two small green vegetables.

The two enjoyed their meal immensely, chatting about everything from work to children, from women to men, from clothing to food and drink.

We started eating at 7:30 pm and ate until after 9 pm.

Zhou Hui insisted on washing the dishes, and Xia Jie couldn't resist, so she took the mop and cleaned the house herself.

"Oh, my dear sister."

When Zhou Hui came out of the kitchen and saw this, she covered her forehead and said, "What kind of magic did your brother Cao cast on you? Take a break and stop working."

"Oh, sister-in-law, it's alright..."

"Come on, let me do it..."

Zhou Hui was a virtuous woman, and she couldn't stand being waited on. So she snatched the mop from Xia Jie's hand and took over the cleaning herself.

It was already close to 10 p.m.

The house was thoroughly cleaned inside and out, and all the clothes that needed washing were washed and dried.

Xia Jie was pushed into the bathroom by Zhou Hui, who also gave her a set of pajamas.

After taking a shower, the two returned to the bedroom and finally lay down.

"Xia Jie, you silly girl, if you're tired tomorrow, you don't have to come."

Zhou Hui, holding her phone, leaned against the headboard: "I know how busy the work at the institute is. After a long day of hard work, you still have to take care of me after get off work. Even your brother Cao can't do that."

"Haha, sister-in-law, that's not an exaggeration."

Xia Jie smiled dismissively and said, "I told Brother Cao that I treat you as one of the people and serve you, which is just in line with my profession."

"Tsk tsk, just wait, when your brother Cao comes back, we'll make him bleed."

"Okay! I'll bring my sister-in-law along then..."

"Okay, let's go to Kaiyuan Shopping Mall in the city center, I'll help you choose."

"That `s a deal."

Xia Jie squinted her crescent-shaped eyes, revealing her dimples, and suddenly leaned down, lying on Zhou Hui's stomach: "Sister-in-law, has the baby inside made any movement?"

"..."

Zhou Hui rolled her eyes and said, "It can't be that fast, it's not even been three weeks yet."

"So what does it look like now?"

Xia Jie blinked her eyes with a naive and innocent expression.

"So big..."

Zhou Hui gestured with her fingers and said, "Think about it, it's just an embryo, just formed."

"It's really amazing."

Xia Jie frowned and asked, "Sister-in-law, I heard that childbirth is very painful, is that true?"

"I don't know either," Zhou Hui said with a wry smile. "I've never given birth."

"Then are you scared?"

"A little."

"Does Brother Cao want a child?"

Xia Jie leaned slightly forward, resting her head on Zhou Hui's shoulder, chatting idly.

"certainly not."

Zhou Hui pouted sarcastically: "Given your brother Cao's personality, I think... he might not be in a hurry to have children even in ten or eight years."

"Huh? Why?"

"You want me to be the empress, huh?"

Zhou Hui's words were tinged with disdain, but her tone was sweet: "She always says to wait until things get better, until he gets a promotion, until we have some money, she always waits and waits..."

"Hehe, Brother Cao, this is for your own good..."

“I know it’s for my own good.” Zhou Hui glanced at their wedding photo and said, “But I married him not for his wealth and status, but because I love him as a person.”

"Haha, I like him because he's old, and I like him because he doesn't shower..."

Xia Jie then playfully inserted a line from a TV drama.

Zhou Huixuan then laughed as well: "Xia Jie, what about you? Have you thought about what kind of person you're looking for?"

"Hmm...no."

Xia Jie pursed her lips and shook her head thoughtfully: "I really haven't thought about it. Maybe it's because my dad sacrificed his life early and I grew up with my mom, so I don't have much of a concept of this."

"That's true, young people these days value late marriage and late childbirth."

As Zhou Hui spoke, she stroked Xia Jie's hair: "However, no matter what kind of person you find, you can't find someone like your brother Cao."

"My brother Cao is doing great."

"What's so good about it? You're as stubborn as a donkey."

"Ha ha……"

Suddenly, Xia Jie remembered something, sat up, and whispered in Zhou Hui's ear, "Sister-in-law, I heard about donkeys... that..."

“Xia Jie…”

Zhou Huiteng blushed instantly and punched Xia Jie on the shoulder: "You brat, how old are you? Who taught you that?"

"Hehe, sister-in-law, I'm going to sleep."

Xia Jie felt embarrassed, turned around, wrapped herself in the air conditioning blanket, and fell asleep.

39. Meeting Li Chengyang at night, is this wonton cooked through?

Xiaoyu Wonton Shop is a tiny, unassuming restaurant.

When they arrived at the location, Gao Suo and Yang Shu were stunned. They stared blankly at the store sign and then at Cao Jianjun.

"Master, is this the place you mentioned where you're treating us?"

Yang Shu felt much relieved. How much could three people possibly spend at this wonton shop?

"What? You think it's too small?"

Cao Jianjun joked, "How about... I find you another one?"

"Oh no, no, this is fine, it's fine..."

Yang Shu waved his hands repeatedly, and Gao Suo was also a little puzzled: "Jianjun, why did you choose this place?"

"I heard this place is good, perfect for a late-night snack."

After Cao Jianjun finished speaking, he lifted the curtain and led the two inside.

The Little Fish Wonton Shop is an indispensable scene in the TV series "Sweeping Away the Black Storm".
