Because soone misses .
So I ca.
For Chen Xiao, this was such a deeply affectionate statent.
Chen Xiao said nothing and just held Lin Xi tightly in his arms.
After so ti had passed, Lin Xi in his embrace said, "Dummy, I can barely breathe."
Chen Xiao hurriedly let go of Lin Xi, looking at her flushed face and said, "Sorry, I got carried away. Am I too strong?"
"I really don't know what you've been eating these past couple of months, you're getting stronger."
Lin Xi teased him as Chen Xiao picked up the suitcase from the floor: "Let's go inside."
"Alright."
They went inside, and Lin Xi began checking the cleanliness of the place.
She knew several people lived in this house, but after looking around, she was sowhat satisfied and said:
"Looks like Xiaoyao hasn't been slacking off."
Speaking of Lin Yao, although Chen Xiao had already guessed, he still asked: "She picked you up?"
"Yes, you ntioned on the phone earlier that you missed . I happened to pass by the ticket counter, so I checked, and there was a night flight, so I ca over."
Chen Xiao took a deep breath: "Did you take leave from Sister Liang?"
"I've been working non-stop for over ten, twenty days. I was supposed to have a vacation anyway, so I'm planning to play in Shencheng City for two days. Am I welco?"
"Of course, you're welco!"
"Hmph, at least you have so conscience."
"Are you hungry? Shall I take you for a late-night snack?"
Lin Xi shook her head, slightly raised her neck, and stared directly at Chen Xiao.
At that mont, it was as if Chen Xiao understood.
Because he already felt Lin Xi's breath becoming more labored.
Chen Xiao no longer wasted words and grabbed Lin Xi's hand, heading to the room.
But as they walked, Chen Xiao couldn't help but look back at Lin Xi.
At this mont, Lin Xi's head was slightly lowered, her lips pressed together, her face tinged with a slight blush.
Inexplicably, it brought Chen Xiao back to the night of their wedding.
That night, after sending off all the guests, Chen Xiao seed to lead her back to the room just like this.
Close the door.
Didn't even turn off the lights.
The living room was brightly lit.
But tonight, no one would co back.
Even the sensible little sister-in-law went to stay at a hotel.
It was just his own wife, who didn't listen, insisting on gender equality, whatever Chen Xiao could do, she could too!
Finally, after so back-and-forth, the night was over.
Early the next morning, Chen Xiao got up to the market to buy groceries.
By the ti he got back, Lin Xi was still lying in bed, unwilling to get up.
Chen Xiao didn't call for her again, instead, he called Guo Qing to help arrange a eting with Zuo Shu, then sat alone on the sofa waiting for Lin Xi to wake up.
It wasn't until mid-morning that Lin Xi finally ca out of the room, her face still full of confusion.
Lying down on Chen Xiao's lap, Lin Xi gently asked, "Honey, did you go buy groceries this morning?"
"Mhm, I'm worried you might not be used to the taste of the restaurants here. I'll cook for you at lunch, and maybe there'll be a dinner tonight."
Lin Xi opened her eyes: "A dinner related to the Dragon Cauldron Group?"
"No, related to the case."
Lin Xi realized and turned over: "I haven't asked you yet, how's that suicide case you were investigating?"
"The suspect was caught, but it wasn't the sa person who did it. The key is still to focus on the case from twelve years ago."
Lin Xi understood: "Indeed, it wouldn't be right to leave it at that. It would be detrintal and offer no benefit to you."
Chen Xiao pinched Lin Xi's cheek: "How co I didn't realize before, my wife seems to understand the ins and outs of business pretty well?"
"Isn't it all about understanding one concept and you're good in all? Even setting up a stall, you have to manage relationships, let alone an enterprise like Dragon Cauldron setting up in Shencheng City. Local acceptance and official image are crucial, or you can't compete with those already here."
"Mhm, but let's not talk about these, let Guo Qing worry about the business complexities. However, that land King Xie ntioned, I also observed it. If that land can be acquired, the future is imasurable."
"Are you confident?"
"It's up to us to make things happen."
"Mhm, you're right... any efforts on your part, whether it succeeds or not depends on Elder Guo's strategizing."
Lin Xi said as she gently hugged Chen Xiao's waist, but after a while, her hands started to misbehave.
Chen Xiao glanced at the ti and said, "It's getting late. Today I'll be cooking, so in a bit, call Xiaoyao to co back for lunch."
"Okay, thank you, dear."
Chen Xiao gave a little pinch and turned to the kitchen.
After so washing and chopping, Lin Yao and Xiaoji, and the others returned one after another.
Lin Yao had already seen Lin Xi last night, but Xiaoji and the others only got the call from Lin Yao not to co ho.
It wasn't until Xiaoji saw Lin Xi now that he realized and exclaid, "Sister-in-law, it's you!"
Lin Xi squinted: "What's this, was soone else supposed to co?"
Xiaoji: "Uh, no it's nothing!"
"Good, if I find out you're in cahoots with Brother Chen, hmph hmph!"
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, if Brother Chen dares to do anything dishonorable, the three of us will tie him up and bring him back to Dongzhou for you to deal with!"
Liu Dayou patted his chest, and Lin Xi was speechless: "Aren't you much older than us?"
Liu Dayou was speaking as Chen Xiao said from the living room: "Now that everyone's back, am I supposed to be the only one working?"
The three of them imdiately ran into the kitchen to help.
After all had finished lunch, Chen Xiao instructed:
"From the afternoon, you've got to get back to work. Xiaoji, you and Xiaoji Knife Man and Dayou need to probe the figures from the 90s in Shencheng City's circles. Ideally, find out who was doing smuggling before '94 in this area."
No need to be too explicit with Xiaoji and them, just give them a direction.
Xiaoji and Xiaoji Knife Man nodded: "Don't worry, brother, we're no good at other things, but we're best at building connections with people in the circles."
"Mhm, rember to stay safe as always."
Both promised, and just as Liu Dayou was about to ask what he should do, Xiaoji and Xiaoji Knife Man each grabbed a hand and pulled him away.
Seeing this, Lin Xi smiled: "Chen Xiao, where are we going this afternoon?"
Chen Xiao replied: "We can go shopping if you want, or find a nice scenic spot."
"No, how about you take
to Changlong Village?"
Upon hearing that, Chen Xiao understood what Lin Xi was interested in.
"Alright, I'll take you to Changlong Village."
"What about ? What should I do?" Lin Yao asked, puzzled.
Chen Xiao: "Haven't you been into the internet lately? Just stay ho playing on the computer."
"I don't want to. Lately, the computer pops up all sorts of random things. Brother-in-law... what have you been doing on the computer? Is it infected with a virus?"
"I've told you many tis not to browse those strange websites, haven't I?"
"No, I just play gas and read novels!"
"Don't you know that novels from '06 are not to be read casually? Think more about your golden dreams and be pragmatic!" Chen Xiao said seriously, while Lin Yao thought for a mont, then felt a little embarrassed:
"Okay, I won't go with you guys then, I'll stay ho and see if there are any good opportunities this afternoon."
Chen Xiao nodded satisfactorily, and then took Lin Xi to Changlong Village.
