By the time Huo Mian arrived home, everyone had already gone to bed .
She quietly opened the front door, and immediately, Uncle Li greeted her, "Welcome back, Madam . " "Thanks, Uncle Li . Please feel free to go rest . "
"Young Master made a late-night snack for you; it's still in the kitchen . Should I heat it up for you?" "Qin Chu made me a snack?" Huo Mian was surprised as Uncle Li nodded .
"Hm, what is it?" Huo Mian asked curiously .
"Noodles served with black bean sauce . "
"Is today a special occasion?" Huo Mian thought hard, but couldn't recall anything special about the date .
"Young Madam, would you like to have a bite?"

"I can handle it, Uncle Li . It's getting late, you should rest . " It was getting really late, so she didn't have the heart to be bothersome to Uncle Li .
She put down her bag and tiptoed into the kitchen . Sitting on the dining table was a bowl of noodles served with black bean sauce that looked both colorful and flavorful .
Qin Chu always prepared his dishes to near perfection . Back when they had just gotten married secretly, at the Imperial Park condominium, Qin Chu used to cook all the time .
Of course, she would sometimes make something as well, but it was never as delicious as the meals that Qin Chu cooked .
Come to think of it, now that the two of them were often busy, those simple and cozy days were far behind them, passing the point of no return .
Huo Mian sighed with emotion within her heart, picked up the chopsticks, and dug in .
Despite having eaten ramen with Liu Ze, she only took a couple of bites as a gesture to get rid of him .

The handmade love noodles from Qin Chu were what filled her stomach and heart .
The noodles were no longer warm, but regardless, she chewed and tasted the noodles slowly until she finished the last strand .
Rubbing her full belly, Huo Mian walked up the stairs contently . She quietly opened the door to the twins' room as she was walking by and smiled lovingly as she watched the two little girls who were deep asleep . She then returned to the master bedroom . By the time she finished showering and changed into her PJs, it was already half past midnight .
The whole city sunk into a world of darkness .
Tiptoeing, Huo Mian got on the bed and covered herself up with the blanket . She glanced over at Qin Chu, who looked deep asleep, not wanting to disturb him in his sleep .
However, as soon as she turned to her side, with her back facing him, a pair of strong hands naturally looped around her waist, ever so gently holding her closer to him .
Huo Mian's felt her heart wanning . She thought Qin Chu would have said something, but in the end, he simply remained silent .

She didn't turn around to check if he was half awake either, and she simply whispered, "Good night, Honey . "

Lu Yan and Qiao Fei walked up and down the street market fearlessly in their local clothes .
"How long are we planning to stay here for?" Qiao Fei asked in a serious tone .
"Why? Are you sick of here?"
There are explosions and wars every day here, is it really a good place for us to stay?" Qiao Fei asked .
"Dummy, the most dangerous place is the safest place . Ian's HQ is right here . We should stay here too, because he probably will never guess that we are chilling where his nest is . "
"But he's not an idiot, so once our whereabouts are revealed, it will be very dangerous . "
"Dangerous? You think I'll be scared?" Lu Yan wandered around the black market . Casually, she picked up a Type 54 pistol and disassembled it in a split second .
"It's not a question of whether or not you're scared, it's rather pointless to continue to waste time like this . "
"Who told you I'm just wasting time? I have a plan," Lu Yan complained in a low voice .
"What plan?"
"I got intel that Ian has an extremely advanced military ammunition shipment coming tonight . " Lu Yan smirked .
"What are you planning?" Qiao Fei asked with a faint feeling that she's probably up to no good again .
