The miserable heroine of the sad novel of the period was penetrated

Chapter 249 Heartbroken

After picking up Xia Songlan and the two children, Ning Jingmo was not in a hurry to take them back to the base.

Instead, he found a restaurant that he had specifically inquired about before and took them there for a reunion dinner.

All the dishes ordered on the table were what Xia Songlan and the two children liked to eat.

Xia Songlan was surprised, "Why don't you go back to the base and eat first?"

Ning Jingmo smiled and poured her a glass of water. "It's at least three hours from here to the base. Let's eat first and then go back."

Xia Songlan took a breath, puffed up her cheeks, pouted her lips cutely, and nodded.

Ning Jingmo felt itchy and wanted to pinch her cheeks. He raised his hand halfway, but when he saw that the restaurant was full of people, he put his hand back.

The waiter has brought all the dishes by now.

Ning Jingmo distributed chopsticks to everyone and said, "Start eating. Eat more of what you like. You must have had a hard time on the journey and didn't eat well."

Xia Songlan shook her head, "It's not hard, and the food is good. Don't worry about us, you can eat too."

Seeing that Ning Jingmo didn't eat, she picked up a shrimp ball for him.

Ning Ziqing exposed the matter from the side, "Mom, I only ate a small piece of cake on the way, and nothing else."

Ning Tianya also nodded, "Mom said she has no appetite."

Xia Songlan blinked to send a signal to the two children, but unfortunately neither of the little guys received it. Instead, Ning Jingmo, who was sitting opposite her, saw it all.

Smiling, he explained to the two children, "When summer comes, your mother loses her appetite. It's okay, Dad is here.

When you get back, dad will make delicious food for your mom and make sure she is plump and white."

Xia Songlan muttered a little embarrassedly, "No way? I'm just not hungry."

But in fact, she ate the least among the four people. Even Ning Tianya ate more than her.

Ning Tianya finished the noodles in her bowl and raised the bowl high, "Dad, look, I've finished all the food, but Mom still has so much left."

Xia Songlan felt a little embarrassed when she saw that she still had half a bowl of noodles left. She picked up some noodles with her chopsticks and chewed them vigorously.

But I found that the noodles seemed to be blocked in my throat and I couldn't swallow them down.

Just when she was about to fight with the noodles in her bowl, a big hand reached out and took her bowl away.

Ning Jingmo was holding the bowl, "Forget it, if you can't eat it, don't eat it. I'll help you eat the rest and buy you a popsicle later."

When Xia Songlan heard that there were popsicles, her eyes lit up instantly and her little head nodded happily.

Ning Tianya also said, "Dad, I want to eat popsicles too."

"Okay, okay, I'll buy them all for you later, and buy popsicles for our big and little beauties."

Ning Jingmo said, turning his head to look at Ning Ziqing, "Son, do you want it?"

Ning Ziqing shook his head, "I'm a man, I don't eat popsicles."

But when Ning Jingmo really handed the popsicles to Xia Songlan and Ning Tianya, Ning Ziqing subconsciously pursed his lips and licked the lower part of his mouth.

Ning Jingmo then took out the popsicle that he had hidden in his pocket and handed it to him.

Rubbing his little head, he smiled and said, "Give it to me, little man. When it's hot, men also need popsicles to cool down."

As he said this, he took out another one and started eating it.

On the way back, the car was not driving fast, so Xia Songlan and her two children had plenty of time to enjoy the scenery along the road.

After leaving West City, the car slowly moved away from the city, and there were more crops on both sides of the road.

After passing a small county town, the car went into the mountains. After turning countless corners, we finally saw a small town and some scattered villages.

After walking for a while from the town, we finally reached their military base.

The children seldom saw mountains, so the two little ones were extremely excited to shuttle through the mountains.

Xia Songlan found it quite interesting at first and asked questions out of curiosity, but in the end she felt inexplicably depressed.

Ning Jingmo quickly noticed something was wrong, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy? Or are you feeling unwell?"

Xia Songlan pursed her lips, shook her head, and looked at the endless mountains again.

After a long while, he said quietly, "You have worked hard these past two years. I didn't know that the place where you live and work is so difficult. I was so focused on my own studies and experiments that I didn't care about you. I'm sorry."

When she finished speaking, her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, and it was trembling with sobs.

Ning Jingmo smiled and rubbed her hair, "Silly girl, what's so hard about this?

You studied and worked hard alone in a foreign country, and never complained to me about the hardship or tiredness.

I also failed to help you, let alone take care of you. If that's the case, shouldn't I feel even more guilty?"

Xia Songlan looked at Ning Jingmo. Her eyes seemed to have been washed by water, moist and full of lingering affection. "This is different."

Ning Jingmo looked at her and raised his hand to cover her eyes. "Don't look at me like that. I can't help it."

"what?"

Ning Jingmo glanced at the two children sitting in the back seat and said with his lips: "I want to kiss you!"

Xia Songlan's sadness faded a lot after he suddenly interrupted her. She twisted her fingers and glared at him, "I'm feeling sorry for you, why are you..."

"If you feel sorry for me, behave yourself tonight." Ning Jingmo said and winked at her mischievously.

Xia Songlan was not sad at all at this moment. She even felt a little regretful for saying those words that expressed her love for him.

He tilted his head and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, then turned away angrily and looked at the mountains outside the window.

Ning Jingmo saw that Xia Songlan's mood had eased a little, so he smiled and hummed happily.

At this moment, the car drove into a tunnel and the scene in front of them suddenly became dark, causing the two little guys to scream.

"Hahaha... two cowards, now that you're in the tunnel, don't be afraid." Ning Jingmo teased them.

Ning Tianya argued, "I'm not scared, it's just that my eyes suddenly went dark and I felt a little uncomfortable."

Ning Ziqing nodded, "I'm not afraid either."

Ning Jingmo asked Xia Songlan beside him, "Is our little Isatis scared? Why did he scream just now? And he even slapped my thigh."

Xia Songlan just patted his thigh subconsciously.

Being teased by Ning Jingmo, he couldn't help but mutter, "After entering the tunnel, you didn't even bother to turn on the headlights. It's so dark inside. What if there's an accident?"

"Madam, I will turn on the headlights before entering the tunnel next time. Please rest assured, Madam."

Ning Jingmo apologized in a serious manner, leaving Xia Songlan speechless. She curled her lips and looked into the dark tunnel.

The tunnel was very long and it took three or four minutes to drive through it. Once I got out of the tunnel, the view in front of me suddenly opened up.

There is actually a large plain between the mountains. From afar, there are villages and towns, as well as endless farmland.
