Chapter 91 Jiaodaokou Police Station
"Zhiye! Don't go tonight. It's not safe to drive after drinking so much." Professor Cui advised him worriedly.

"Mom! It's okay. I know I'm not drunk. Don't worry." Liu Zhiye said with a red face and reeking of alcohol.

"Or, let Xiaoning go back with you. I'm really worried about you being alone." Professor Cui hesitated for a moment and decisively sold his daughter.

Gan Ning pretended to be unhappy and said, "Mom! You are really something. You don't want your daughter anymore now that you have a son-in-law, right?"

Professor Cui rolled his eyes at her and said, "What do you think? Don't you know your own limitations?"

The father-in-law was no less impressive, he picked up his daughter's bag, handed it to her and said, "When you go back, take care of Zhiye."

Gan Ning was really speechless.

The young couple got in the car. Liu Zhiye started the car and saw that Gan Ning was still pouting, so he knew that she was deliberately throwing a tantrum.

Liu Zhiye teased her deliberately, and when she was not paying attention, he suddenly turned his head and kissed her little face gently with lightning speed.

This sudden little mischief made her cry out "Ah!" and her little face instantly turned red to her ears, as beautiful as a blooming peach blossom in spring.

Gan Ning hurriedly looked out the window, and only felt relieved after confirming that her parents had not seen what had just happened.

So she glared with her almond-shaped eyes, vented her anger on Liu Zhiye's thigh, and did a 360-degree spin.

In order to calm her down, Liu Zhiye could only pretend to be in pain, grimacing and shouting in pain.

Then he cleverly changed the subject, making her laugh through her tears, and the two of them played and joked all the way back to Nanluoguxiang.

The one who opened the door for them was the third uncle Yan Bugui.

"Uncle! Thank you for opening the door for me so late at night." Liu Zhiye said politely with gratitude.

"Oh! Deputy Director Liu and Comrade Gan Ning, you two are back?" Yan Bugui greeted them sleepily.

Gan Ning also looked very apologetic and said, "Uncle, I'm sorry to bother you so late. I hope I didn't disturb your rest?" His words were full of respect and concern for his elders.

"You two are too polite. Compared to the care you have given our family, this little thing is not worth mentioning."

"It's getting late. Go back and rest early, both of you."

"Okay! Third uncle, let's go back to the house. See you later!"

"See you!"

The two returned to the east wing and stayed together for a while, until they both felt a little sleepy, so they decided to take a rest.

Since they had only obtained the marriage certificate but had not officially gotten married, Gan Ning insisted on sleeping in separate rooms. Liu Zhiye had no choice but to respect her decision and let her go to the upstairs room while he stayed in the downstairs bedroom.

Facing this beautiful lady, Liu Zhiye's heart was filled with indescribable emotions, but he resisted the urge. His several attempts to go upstairs were suppressed by his strong willpower.

In the dead of night, with moonlight shining in the house, Liu Zhiye tossed and turned, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. He recalled every moment he spent with Gan Ning, which was both sweet and a little lost. He understood that this relationship had just begun and there was still a long way to go in the future, so he needed to cherish and care for it more.

In the end, Liu Zhiye spent a sleepless night alone in the bedroom downstairs.

Early in the morning, Liu Zhiye came back from working out earlier than usual.

I really couldn't sleep last night. I could only watch but not eat. You readers can experience the feeling for yourself.

When they returned to the East Cross Courtyard, Gan Ning had already come to help her mother-in-law prepare a sumptuous breakfast. When she saw Liu Zhiye step into the house, she immediately brought a basin of warm water and handed over a soft towel.

It all seems so warm and natural.

"Mom! You two are really capable! Let me see what you made that smells so good." After Liu Zhiye finished washing up, he couldn't wait to lift the lid of the pot to find out what was inside.

The steaming aroma had already made him salivate. He couldn't resist it and was already starving.

A family of four started a new day after breakfast.

First, they sent their father Liu Jingzhai to school. Then, they sent Gan Ning to work together. Seeing her elegant steps and confident smile, Liu Zhiye was filled with pride and joy.

Finally, Liu Zhiye drove to Jiaodaokou Police Station and started a new day of work.

"Liu Suo! Are you back?"

"Congratulations, Chief Liu! I heard you got a promotion!"

"Captain Liu! It's time for you to treat us!"

“……” Along the way, he greeted his colleagues enthusiastically and went to Director Zhang’s office first.

"Captain Zhang! Good morning!" Liu Zhiye knocked on the door and came in, greeting with a smile.

"Wow! What a rare guest! Isn't this Director Liu?"

"What wind brings you here?" Zhang Zhijie teased him as usual as soon as they met.

“Of course it’s the northwest wind, hahaha,” Liu Zhiye also responded to him with a hearty smile.

Zhang Zhijie warmly invited him to sit down and joked, "You've been promoted too fast. You've been on the same level as me just one year after you were demobilized. If I try to curry favor with you, you might be promoted above me one day."

Liu Zhiye smiled and said, "No matter how high your promotion is, you are still my former leader..."

Zhang Zhijie was overjoyed after hearing this: "Hahaha, you kid..."

"Zhiye, I believe you have gained a lot from your study experience in Z Law School?" Zhang Zhijie said in a serious tone.

"Of course," Liu Zhiye nodded and continued, "After the systematic training, I have a deeper understanding and grasp of our public security work. It not only enriched my knowledge system, but also significantly improved my professional skills."

After listening to this, Zhang Zhijie nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Indeed, such training opportunities are extremely important for the development of our public security cause. With your help, I believe our work will be smoother and reach new heights."

……

After get off work, Liu Zhiye invited his colleagues at the police station, including Zhang Zhijie, Xu Shifang, Wei Hu, Song Xian and others, to come to Donglaishun together.

After going up to the third floor, they asked for a large private room and started their pleasant dinner.

The ingredients here are carefully selected, the sugar garlic is crispy, the seasoning is fragrant, and the hot pot is strong. The mutton is fat but not greasy, lean but not dry, cooked in one dip, and will not become overcooked even if you dip it for a long time. It tastes neither smelly nor greasy, and is delicious.

"In the autumn of the capital, when the wine shops sell drinks, there is always a small pot on the table with soup in it and a blazing fire underneath. Chicken, fish, mutton and other meat are placed on a plate, and customers are encouraged to throw in the soup and eat it when it is cooked."

"People, regardless of religion or not, all enjoy eating shabu-shabu mutton."

……

Director Zhang Zhijie shouted happily: "This is a fight against the local tyrants! Comrades!"

Xu Shifang also made a rare joke, patting Liu Zhiye's arm and saying, "You really have to bleed a lot today, otherwise these brothers won't let you off easily."

When everyone heard the three leaders joking with each other, they couldn't help laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Liu Zhiye patted his pocket generously and said in a joking tone: "Comrades! Eat to your heart's content, there is plenty of money here. If you really go bankrupt, I will force the director to wash dishes here, haha..."

His humorous words made everyone laugh. Everyone laughed along with him, "Hahaha..." The laughter echoed in the whole private room, making it seem particularly relaxed and happy.

"Here we go! Deep-fried lamb"

"Chicken Feather Tremella"

"Lamb kebab"

“Roasted lamb leg”

Rows of waiters in uniform began to serve the dishes one after another. As the food was served, the air was filled with tempting aromas.

At this special moment, Liu Zhiye, as the host, began his opening remarks with a smile.

"Dear comrades! I am deeply honored and sincerely grateful for the great support and help you have given to my work in the past year. I have no way to repay this kindness. I can only express my most sincere gratitude and the most firm determination to continue working hard and contribute more to our common cause."

"Good!" Zhang Zhijie clapped enthusiastically. The applause was like a tide and the atmosphere was boiling.

As Liu Zhiye finished his opening remarks, the restaurant became peaceful and the guests raised their glasses to toast this wonderful moment.

Three rounds of drinks.

Instructor Xu Shifang set an example by taking the lead in proposing: "Comrades, let us raise our glasses together to congratulate Director Liu. I wish him success in his future career!"

Everyone responded, raised their glasses and congratulated in unison, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

"..."

The atmosphere in the entire restaurant thus became more warm and harmonious, as if time had frozen at this moment, leaving only the sounds of food, friendship and joy.
