C1702 Marry of the Wealthy Class 1629
In the kitchen, Lee Yixuan smiled and said, "That brat Ye Nianmo sure is fortunate to be married to you. He even made food for him in the middle of the night."
Ding Yiyi kneaded the flour skillfully while taking out the walnuts and peanuts to grind. She took them with one hand and smashed them with Lee Yixuan.
"I'm really sorry for wasting your time. However, if you don't have anyone to bring you, then you can't casually enter the military's kitchen."
"No problem, I've never been into the kitchen before and it's quite interesting now." Lee Yixuan said with a smile. He had great strength and his peanuts were stuck to his skin.
Ding Yiyi squeezed the dough into small balls one after another. She was extremely focused.
Lee Yixuan thought of Ye Chuqing. Back then, when he accompanied her to France to study dessert, she was also this serious. Sometimes, when the cream rubbed against her cheek, he didn't even notice.
"Miss Ding." He opened his mouth and handed her what he had in his hand.
"Thank you." Ding Yiyi mixed the unloading material with the red bean paste, then used her thumb to press a groove into the ball, put the material in, and then kneaded the ball.
Lee Yixuan stared at her and said, "If you go back to China, can you help me pass a present to Yuqing? It's a pity she didn't attend the wedding. "
"Alright." Ding Yiyi stopped what she was doing. Her intuition told her that the person in front of her and Ye Chuqing might have a past, but since he was unwilling to say, why would she go and open up his scars?
Lee Yixuan took out a purple shell from his pocket. The shell was very beautiful and very smooth, so it was obvious that it was often rubbed.
"Would you please pass this on to her?" He handed it to her and looked into the shell's eyes.
Many days and nights, when he thought of her, he would put the shell by his ear, and there was the sound of the waves, the smell of missing.
Ding Yiyi took it and carefully put it in her pocket. "Don't worry. I will hand it over to her."
White dumplings floated in the pot. The two of them silently looked at the dumplings in the pot and thought about their own thoughts.
Ding Yiyi scooped two bowls and put one of them on the tray. She blinked her eyes and said, "Nianmo's cooking skills are much better than mine. That bowl is tonight's thanks, good night."
Lee Yixuan burst into laughter. In his mind, he thought of Ye Nianmo cooking with his apron around his head. With one hand, he picked up the hot bowl and ate one.
Ye Nianmo was about to go out and find Ding Yiyi when he saw her carefully walk in with a tray.
"You did it?" He took it and touched her cold hand. He felt his heart ache.
Ding Yiyi was a little excited as she hadn't made anything for him to eat in a long time. She hastily set the spoon down and said, "Quickly, try it!"
Ye Nianmo covered both of her hands with his hands, and raised his eyebrows in distress, "It smells good, but your hands are very cold, I'm not going to let go of them before the air gets warm."
This was clearly hinting that she wanted to feed him! President Ye, who managed the whole corporation, was now like a child. Ding Yiyi thought that perhaps no one would believe it even if it was leaked.
She wasn't the type of person to be bashful. She openly fed a spoon to the two of them, and the two of them continued to eat.
After she finished eating, she was forced to go to the bathroom to brush her teeth before Ding Yiyi went to bed.
At night, the sea's temperature was low. She snuggled into Ye Nianmo's arms and felt warm. The two of them didn't talk about tomorrow's matter.
In the middle of the night, her legs were cramping again, and she was wincing with pain because she was so sleepy that she couldn't keep her eyes open.
A hand was placed on her leg, gently kneading the muscles of her calf, and even after she fell asleep, that warm hand still hadn't stopped.
The next morning, the sound of gunfire rang out for a long time. In the afternoon, the boat successfully passed through the reef. However, after a few hours, the sea remained calm and tranquil as far as the eye could see.
In the combat room, Andrew frowned heavily. He couldn't continue sailing for no reason at all. If he couldn't, then he had to return. Sometimes, being decisive was also a must for a leader.
At that time, it would be hard to explain to the United Nations. All of the countries were paying close attention to this matter.
"Lieutenant Colonel." Lee Yixuan and Dong Qing were both here.
Lee Yixuan said, "Miss Ding said that the destination is indeed here."
"But this is a sea!" Andrew frowned. There were only two possibilities. Ding Yiyi was lying, or her target had been targeted incorrectly.
The three of them chatted in the meeting room for a long time. Suddenly, a commotion broke out outside and Andrew walked to the window of the meeting room with big steps, opening his eyes in surprise.
The seawater began to recede from both sides, revealing the soft, wet surface of the earth.
The sea began to recede faster and faster. A towering pagoda was revealed, and gradually, the pagoda's body was revealed. The ground was caved in, and a city was revealed.
The world of bliss was underground, and with the advent of night, the underground city appeared.
How many secrets would an unexplored city have? The army carried all kinds of apparatus down to the ground. No one knew when the next tide would be, but Ding Yiyi knew.
She stayed on the boat and didn't go down to join them. She and Ye Nianmo weren't interested in any of this.
When the sun set, the last ray of light fell on her arm. The light was cut into tiny columns, and with just one point, she knew that the time of high tide was related to the pattern on her arm.
The history of the city was unknown, but there was a frightening amount of gold, silver, and jewelry. Any ring could be auctioned for several million, and when the scientists confirmed that the city was full of oil, Andrew immediately stopped the survey.
In this era of oil scarcity, having this oil treasure trove meant having great economic power.
The United States sent out its troops first, and the rest of the countries did not want to be outdone.
At dawn, the soldiers were still exploring the entire island. It was an endless island, and whoever could own this island, would have the right to speak internationally.
"I'll send you off first." Dong Qing found two people. "This place has become extremely unsafe."
"Will there be a war?" Ding Yiyi asked.
Dong Qing was silent for a moment. "Petroleum is a non-renewable resource. There are too many countries that want a share." He smiled bitterly. "Our country is no exception."
Ye Nianmo looked at Lee Yixuan. "Come back with me."
Lee Yixuan shook his head, "When a war starts here, the world might be affected. There's no place that's safe."
Everyone looked at the city in the distance. It was a new world.
The first riots were started by the major forces from different countries in the army. In order to maintain the balance of power, although they had signed an agreement before they left, the countries would still send their men to station themselves as much as possible.
The source of the conflict was Daniel and the other white man. The cause of the conflict was unknown, but the two of them suddenly started fighting.
When the sun set on the third day and the light shone on Ding Yiyi's arm again, she knew that the tide was about to rise again.
Ye Nianmo saw that she was worried and accompanied her. However, Ding Yiyi didn't say anything and just paced back and forth until Dong Qing was ready to leave.
"Don't go." She took his arm. "Not now."
"Why?" Dong Qing looked at her. "What do you know?"
She shook her head, holding on to his arm, and the two men looked at each other, both aware that something was wrong with her.
Soon enough, there were people in the army who noticed that something was wrong. The sea began to swell again, and the soldiers who didn't have time to run back to the ship were drowned by the sea water.
In the blink of an eye, it was already more than ten meters away. Everyone ran towards the ship, and the level of confusion they experienced was no less than when they first discovered the new world.
"Don't tell anyone else about this." Dong Qing lowered her voice and strode into the combat room.
Ding Yiyi shuddered when she heard a soldier shouting the name of another soldier. It was obvious that the other soldier had been swept away.2
Ye Nianmo covered her eyes with a warm blanket and said softly, "Don't look."
By the time he removed his hand, the sea had calmed down and the city was gone.
Andrew had been holding a United Nations conference to explain everything that had just happened to the various dignitaries.
If there was no way to grasp the probability of ebbing and rising, then there was no way to land.
On the third day at sea, the sea surface was still very calm. No matter how advanced the instruments were, they were unable to grasp the rhythm of the high and low tide.
Andrew, Dong Qing and Lee Yixuan stayed in the operations room for eight hours. When they finished holding the United Nations conference, it was already evening by the time they came out.
After the meeting, Lee Yixuan went to look for Ye Nianmo, "It's over."
Ding Yiyi sat quietly the whole time. She didn't even know when Lee Yixuan left.
Ye Nianmo's shoulder was grabbed. He bent over and pulled her into his arms, then said in a low voice, "Let's go home."
When they set sail, the sea was still calm. Ding Yiyi and Ye Nianmo were standing on the deck.
Ye Nianmo took out a piece of paper and handed it to her.
Ding Yiyi looked at the names on it, "Ye Xueyuan, Ye Dazhi, Ye Fengxiao?"
She did not understand, and only after a while did she remember that Ye Nianmo was giving her child a name!
"Refer to it. You have to be more careful in naming it." Ye Nianmo said lightly, but he was still a bit nervous.
Ding Yiyi held her hand and looked at him gratefully. "Thank you."
She carefully put away the paper, tiptoed, and bent down with Ye Nianmo.
Other than him, no one else knew what she had said. The sunlight behind them caused their shadows to lengthen.
"Do you believe that?" Ding Yiyi stared fixedly at him. "What I said just now."
Ye Nianmo held her hand and walked back. Although he didn't respond, he didn't relax his grip on her hand at all. She and he were the only two people in the world who knew that the tide would ebb in three days, and yet these two people were the only ones in the world who didn't care.
The Extreme World was not a world of pleasures for mortals.
Returning to the Dubai once more, and stepping on the solid ground, the two of them sighed a little.
Lee Yixuan didn't say goodbye to the two of them. They were on a mission and a helicopter picked them up before they even landed.
On the pier, Dong Qing bid the two farewell, "I still have things to do, so I won't be accompanying you two."
"Can we meet again?" Ding Yiyi was slightly reluctant.
Dong Qing's lips moved, and in the end, she sighed. "If I have the chance, I'll go see you."
