o his arms, carrying her in a hug and shoving her into his passenger seat.Inside the car, a cold wind blew in like a storm. A man with narrow and long phoenix eyes stared coldly at Xiao Heng's hand......In Dali Ancient City, most of Shen Xiuqin's people remain, but their Big Boss has long since left the city.

Along the way, the man's seemingly placid face was handsome.

Only occasionally, from the tightness of his clenched fist, could one tell of his nervousness.

Everything, Xi Chen saw with his own eyes.

Reach out and pat your friend's shoulder reassuringly: "It's not uncommon to meet your wife for the first time after being together for a while, relax."

Of course, that was just a joke.

The car gradually drove away, following the navigation to "Yi Ju". As it entered the territory of Erhai Lake, the road became increasingly secluded.

Xi Chen frowned: "Did we take a wrong turn"

Of course, when opening a guesthouse, you want to open it in a busy and lively area.

"No mistake." A man beside her chuckled lightly, a self-deprecating smile in his eyes: "Don't forget how she escaped in the first place."

Xi Chen fell silent... How did he escape back then

They raced from one place to another, following every little clue she gave them.

What was received instead was the desolation of an empty house.

"Fortunately, there was that chest of jewelry," Shen Xiujin pursed his thin lips: "She traveled from east to south, from south to west, just with that one chest of jewels, she managed to visit over a dozen places across the country and sold them bit by bit all over the place."

"Achen, could you possibly imagine that this was just a sudden whim, a flash of inspiration for her escape plan"

Of course... impossible.

Xi Chen knew in his heart, but said: "She is so intelligent, perhaps this is a temporary plan."

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you," Shen Xiujin chuckled, a mocking glint in his eyes:

She didn't go back to the Shen family mansion. That box of jewels, when did it leave the Shen family mansion Later we checked in reverse where she hid that box of jewels.

Can you imagine her secretly burying that trunk full of jewels under the tree in Jian's yard

What does this mean

She had already planned her escape in her heart! Xichen thought to himself.

Such a detailed plan. Almost like it was made by someone specializing in counter-intelligence.

"Boss, the navigation shows that we'll be arriving at Yijiu soon," Shen Er, who was driving, glanced at the navigation and reported to the man in the back seat.

The man nodded, but the car suddenly fell silent, deathly still except for the sound of the engine.

……

Back at home, the woman lay on her usual lounge chair just as she always did, but every now and then, she’d shift her position slightly. This small movement betrayed the restlessness churning within her.

When the wind blows, closed eyes, long eyelashes, trembling with the wind.

At some point, the silence around was broken only by the sound of the wind.

"Zhao Zhao, bring me another blanket," she said, pulling herself in tighter under the thin blanket.

A few seconds later, something materialized on my person, adding a bit of weight.

A touch of warmth from a human body permeated him.

The woman on the lounge chair suddenly stiffened…… That familiar yet long-lost scent, nicotine mixed with a hint of peppermint, tickled her nostrils.

The hand tucked under the blanket, fingers helplessly spread, gripping the bamboo mat beneath. Lashes trembled at an increasingly rapid pace, instinctively refusing to open, lips tightly clenched.

Clearly, eyelashes trembled and became moist, a trickle of moisture overflowing from the tightly shut corners of her eyes... Was she afraid, after all

The people behind, everything was in his sight. Black eyes, deep as a pool, this look, like it entered the bone marrow, calming the long-standing pain that had not healed.

He stood behind her reclining chair, bending low and kissing her lips, which were clamped tight.

This kiss filled the void in my heart.

"Good, I found you." The man let out a soft sigh of relief, closing his eyes with satisfaction.... all I hope is that Xiao Ou won't be called a bastard. If he can smoothly enter the Jian family's genealogy, then people won't have an excuse to mock him."Jian Zhen Dong raised his hand and gently...
