While I'm at the martial arts academy, my wife is cultivating while I enjoy life.

"Isn't Instructor Ye about to give birth? I happen to have some imported Three Lions milk powder at home, so I brought some over for you," Zhou Ruoxi said with a smile.

Normally, her image and voice are highly tense. Today, she was wearing a white T-shirt with a dark gray JK skirt and white sneakers, showing off her long, straight, and white legs.

She's become much more lively and charming, and her speech has become more feminine.

Milk powder is a high-end product. Currently, only the Three Lions Empire among the five major empires owns dairy cows. Ordinary families cannot afford to give it to their children; even if they have money, they cannot buy it. It is a special supply.

If they can't get breast milk, they can only drink the nutritional paste provided by the maternal and child health center.

"Please come in."

Ye Rou didn't stand on ceremony at all and quickly accepted the four large boxes of milk powder handed to her by her secretary. She and Sister Jing were going to have more children soon, so they would be in good need of the milk powder.

Is it convenient?

"That's convenient. We have guests today, Governor Zhou, let's have lunch together."

Upon hearing Zhou Ruoxi's voice, Huang Aqing and Huang Bingbing both stood up at the same time.

Zhou Ruoxi is one of the most powerful children of the main wife, while the two of them can only be the youngest among the illegitimate children, with a bunch of older brothers and sisters above them, their status is very different.

Zhou Ruoxi also wanted to find out Yang Ding's background, so she went straight into the house.

Looking at the huge crowd in the room, her mind went blank. What was going on? Was it Chinese New Year?

Three figures rushed over quickly and slid to their knees on the spot.

"Fang Dalong, a member of the Central Guard Battalion, pays his respects to His Excellency the Governor."

"Mao Jian, a freshman in Class 22 of the Martial Arts Academy, pays his respects to His Excellency the Governor."

"Sun Li, a freshman in Class 22 of the Martial Arts Academy, pays her respects to His Excellency the Governor."

Zhou Ruoxi didn't even glance at them, but stared at the Huang sisters in surprise.

"Get up, I'm not going to work today."

"Yes."

Huang Aqing also stared at Zhou Ruoxi.

It's so embarrassing, really embarrassing.

This was the first time the two of them had ever met in their lives, and they never expected it to be at Yang Ding's house.

Strictly speaking, Huang Aqing is a wanted criminal by the law enforcement bureau.

Zhou Ruoxi, under pressure from her father, did not arrest her, yet she dared to appear so blatantly.

Ye Rou was about to introduce the two people when Fang Jing stopped her.

"Governor Zhou, these two are Yang Ding and his sister."

If there are outsiders present, and Huang Aqing's name is not mentioned, it's as if the incident did not occur.

We can't let Zhou Ruoxi and Huang Aqing make a big scene here.

"Oh, what are they all doing here?"

Zhou Ruoxi immediately realized that the information she had received from listening to Ye Ke and Ye Rou's phone calls last night might have been leaked.

If Qin Xiangyu, the Poisonous Stinger, knew that with that woman's ruthlessness, she would definitely try every means to push herself into Yang Ding's fiery pit.

This would both weaken the marital alliance of the first wife and, if the father investigated, shift the blame to the Queen.

"They're from a hunting team, they just get together for a meal on weekends."

"Then I won't bother you any longer."

Zhou Ruoxi turned to leave.

Yang Ding quickly said, "It's lunchtime now, and our dishes are ready. Why doesn't Governor Zhou join the people in having a meal together? We'll just be eating pre-made food at home anyway."

Given Zhou Ruoxi's status, she wouldn't even give Yang Ding a second glance.

Strangely, the thought that this guy might be her future husband gave her a strange sense of closeness.

"I won't need to eat pre-cooked meals when I go back."

Zhou Ruoxi sat down on the sofa as she spoke.

Back at the Zhou family manor, she didn't need to eat pre-cooked meals, but ever since she moved to the 166th floor, she ate pre-cooked meals every night—simple and straightforward.

I originally thought that she would not be used to this pigeon coop, since she was used to living in a mansion.

But these two nights were the most restful she had slept since becoming governor; the atmosphere in the Zhou family was just too oppressive.

"Okay, honey, you stay with everyone, Rou and I will go heat up the dishes."

"Why don't you guys come and keep me company, and I'll go cook?"

Yang Ding was not good at entertaining leaders and didn't know what to talk about with Zhou Ruoxi.

Several female guests glanced at Yang Ding at the same time.

Men can cook?

"What man cooks?" Fang Jing laughed.

I promised to give my husband plenty of face.

Sun Li quickly raised her hand, "Brother Ding, I can do all the kitchen work."

"Go help."

"Okay."

Mao Jian and Fang Dalong also raised their hands, "Brother Ding, I can pluck the chicken's feathers."

"Brother-in-law, I know how to crack eggs."

Everyone wanted to avoid Zhou Ruoxi, even though she was dressed very casually today, the atmosphere was still awkward.

"There are no live chickens for you to pluck, so Mao Jian is in charge of boiling water and making tea for us. Fang Dalong is going to get the snacks, and we'll chat and eat them together."

Yang Ding, as the male host, was also extremely embarrassed, sitting between Zhou Ruoxi and Huang Aqing.

Zhou Ruoxi, on the other hand, was quite relaxed. She crossed her long legs and looked at the divorce certificate in front of Huang Bingbing.

Who got divorced?

Huang Bingbing hurriedly tried to grab the divorce certificate from the coffee table, but she didn't expect Zhou Ruoxi's control over water to be so masterful.

The moisture in the air quickly condensed, enveloping the divorce certificate, and flew into her hand like lightning.

She opened it and looked at it, then sneered contemptuously, "If I remember correctly, there were three murders at the slaughterhouse this morning."

"Governor Zhou must have a lot of free time, to be paying attention to such a trivial case."

"Nothing that happens in Jiangling City can escape my eyes."

"so what?"

Zhou Ruoxi tossed the divorce certificate to Huang Bingbing, subtly saying, "It's nothing, I just wanted to remind some blind men what the consequences will be of marrying the wrong woman."

"Thank you for the reminder, Governor. When it comes to women, Yang Ding has always been very discerning and would never marry the wrong person."

Zhou Ruoxi looked completely bewildered. "Who reminded you?"

Huang Bingbing, who already couldn't handle Yang Ding, immediately became furious.

"Zhou Ruoxi, don't push your luck. Who I like and who I marry is none of your business."

The hot water in the teacup on the coffee table began to vibrate violently. Zhou Ruoxi asked, somewhat annoyed, "Do you know what the consequences will be if you talk to me like that?"

Huang Aqing quickly shielded her sister, "Governor Zhou, are you planning to demolish the Yang family's house?"

Ye Rou was inside, supposedly cooking, but she was actually listening intently to what was happening outside.

"Jing-jie, what if a fight breaks out?"

"No way, these two sisters are S-rank and A-rank or even A+-rank respectively. If they fight, the instructor building won't be able to withstand it."

Just then, the male homeowner, Yang Ding, made his move.

"Alright, everyone calm down. Don't forget you're all guests."

Yang Ding walked to the balcony and waved to Huang Bingbing, "Come here, let's have a private chat."

Huang Bingbing rushed over with a smile, "Brother Ding, what do you want to talk about?"

"Come closer."

Huang Bingbing quickly leaned closer to listen, but unexpectedly Yang Ding suddenly grabbed her waist and threw her directly out of the 166th-floor balcony window.

Huang Bingbing's screams came from outside.

"Yang Ding, you son of a bitch."

The living room was completely silent, everyone was stunned by his actions.

Yang Ding shrugged. "See, now it's quiet."

Huang Aqing rushed to the balcony and looked down. Huang Bingbing was on the window of the 150th floor, cursing loudly.

"Are you sick? We're here to save you and protect you," Huang Aqing said angrily.

"You and Governor Zhou are enough."
