Chapter 401: Warmth Before the Storm

Chen Rui's appointment with the contact person of the smuggling gang organization is tomorrow, and it is still early.

In the office, he agreed with Hu Lei and Chu Yan about tomorrow's deployment plan, and Chen Rui left the Security Bureau.

There was nothing to do left and right, and Chen Rui was not in a hurry to go home, so he took a detour to Hongda Plaza first.

Parking the car in the parking lot, Chen Rui walked to Tang Ying's pastry shop.

As soon as he got closer, Chen Rui stopped in shock.

It has been almost two months since the opening of the pastry shop, Hongda Plaza is not engaged in activities, and Tang Ying's opening activities have also stopped.

However, the pastries made by Tang Ying taste excellent, and Chen Rui also believes that there will definitely be many repeat customers who will come back.

Business shouldn't be bad.

But in any case, I never expected that the business would be so hot.

The storefront of the pastry room was bought by Chen Rui, which is larger than the store next to it, but now there is no place to stand in the store, and the customers have lined up outside the store.

Looking at the long queue, Chen Rui couldn't help but hook his lips and show a smile.

Tang Ying can be regarded as having fulfilled his wish now, and the pastry shop must be very happy if it is so popular.

Continuing to take a few steps forward, Chen Rui looked up at Tang Ying who was busy at the cash register.

Tang Ying was busy, constantly talking to the guests, and constantly helping the guests pack pastries, and the smile on her face never stopped.

Chen Rui could also see that this was not a polite smirk, but a heartfelt smile, and his gaze couldn't help but become a little gentler.

He was sincerely happy for Tang Ying.

Seeing that the business in the store was so busy, Chen Rui didn't bother Tang Ying, took out his mobile phone and sent Tang Ying a WeChat message, and walked around the square by himself.

Passing by a milk tea shop that exudes a rich and sweet smell, Chen Rui packed two cups of milk tea and waited in the car.

As time passed, Chen Rui's own cup of milk tea had also been drunk, and the cup of ice cubes he bought for Tang Ying had completely melted.

Night began to fall, Chen Rui took out his mobile phone and looked at it, Tang Ying did not reply, it was estimated that he was too busy to look at his mobile phone.

Yawning, Chen Rui put down the driver's seat, intending to take a break.

Before I knew it, I fell asleep.

8 p.m.

All the pastries in the Tang Ying shop were sold out and had to close early.

"I'm sorry everyone, the pastries have been sold out, I will send you coupons, you will come back tomorrow, not only can you buy first, but you can also participate in the full reduction event. ”

Tang Ying said apologetically to the regretful guests, and then asked the waiter to give everyone a discount coupon.

Just let the waiter keep the rest of the work busy, Tang Ying breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to leave.

After a busy day, her body was also very tired, but her spirit was very uplifted.

The busier it is, the better the business in the store, and the more money she makes, and she is actually happy.

Walking out of the pastry room, Tang Ying remembered that he hadn't looked at his phone for a day, so he hurriedly took out his phone from his bag.

I saw Chen Rui's WeChat: I'm waiting for you in the parking lot.

The time for Chen Rui to send WeChat was five o'clock in the afternoon, and three hours had passed.

Tang Ying guessed that Chen Rui had left, but he couldn't help but walk towards the parking lot, and soon found Chen Rui's Volvo.

Standing in front of the driver's window, looking at Chen Rui sleeping soundly in the car, Tang Ying's heart was moved, and his eyes were moist.

Chen Rui actually waited for himself for so long, and he didn't complain.

Is this love?

Tang Ying didn't speak, looking at Chen Rui's slightly frowning brows, he was still a little distressed, guessing that Chen Rui should be sleeping uncomfortably in the car, but looking at Chen Rui's tired look, he couldn't bear to disturb.

After 10 minutes, Chen Rui slowly lifted his eyelids and directly noticed the burning gaze of Tang Ying next to him.

"You drool. Tang Ying suddenly spoke.

Chen Rui hurriedly touched the corners of his mouth awkwardly, but there was nothing, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, looking at Tang Ying with a smile.

Tang Ying pursed his lips and smiled, went directly around the front of the car, and came in when the co-pilot pushed the door in.

"You're so bold that you even started a joke on me. Chen Rui said half-jokingly.

Tang Ying raised his eyebrows, "If you don't usually drool when you sleep, how can you fall for me?"

The two chatted all the way, all the way back in the car, and the content of the chat sounded like a quarrel, but the smiles on their faces were getting stronger and stronger, and the atmosphere in the car was getting better and better.

"Have you eaten? Why don't I make some food and let's eat together?" Passing by a supermarket next to the community, Tang Ying suddenly spoke.

Chen Rui nodded, parked the car directly next to the supermarket, and the two went in together.

Pushing the cart, the two went to the food section of the supermarket and began to struggle with what to eat tonight.

"Let's eat hot pot, simple and delicious. ”

After struggling for a while, Chen Rui proposed, and Tang Ying immediately nodded in agreement.

The two picked up a cart full of things and walked towards the cash register together.

Tang Ying often buys things in this supermarket, and the cashier sister has a good relationship with her, and when she sees the two of them walking together at this moment, she is envious.

"Sister Tang, you and your husband are too affectionate, he actually accompanied you to the supermarket, is this planning to eat hot pot tonight?"

The cashier's voice landed, and Tang Ying's pretty face instantly turned red, "Don't talk nonsense, he's not my husband." ”

The cashier nodded clearly, "Oh, it turned out to be a boyfriend, no wonder it's so affectionate." ”

Tang Ying's face turned even redder.

Chen Rui didn't have a cashier explanation, he settled the account with a generous smile, and took Tang Ying's hand and left.

Back at Chen Rui's apartment, the two were busy in the kitchen together, Chen Rui made the hot pot base and cut vegetables, and Tang Ying was busy washing vegetables.

Fifteen minutes later, the two of them gathered around a table full of delicious food.

"Ding Dong! Ding Dong!"

The two of them had not eaten a few chopsticks, and the doorbell suddenly rang.

Chen Rui shook his head and stood up, "It must be Fang Ming's kid, he really knows how to pick time." ”

Walking towards the door, Chen Rui opened the door.

The person standing outside the door was indeed Fang Ming, and he was also intoxicated with the spicy smell in the air.

"You kid is too unkind, and you don't call me when you eat hot pot, I'm afraid that my light bulb is too bright?"

Fang Ming complained very unceremoniously and went to the kitchen to get the dishes and chopsticks, and then came to the dining table and sat down.

Because of Fang Ming's previous words, Tang Ying was still very embarrassed at the moment.

Fang Ming smiled politely: "Tang Ying, what I said before was aimed at Chen Rui, don't worry about it." ”

"A lovely beauty like you, if you have delicious food, you will definitely not forget me as a neighbor, and it must be Chen Rui, this kid, won't let you call me. ”

Tang Ying was even more embarrassed, she really hadn't thought of Fang Ming at all before.

However, as Fang Ming continued to enliven the atmosphere, Tang Ying also relaxed.

"I'll report to you. Halfway through eating, Fang Ming said suddenly.
