“Who are you?”
Su Ziyu’s gaze was wary as she scrutinized the girl, then shot back a question.
Her answering the question meant she admitted she was Su Ziyu.
“You are indeed very beautiful.”
The girl didn’t answer Su Ziyu’s question, coldly stating this before turning to leave.
In the blink of an eye, her graceful figure vanished into the crowd.
“Strange, who was that?”
Su Ziyu was utterly bewildered, gazing in the direction the girl had disappeared.
A moment later, she took out her phone to check the time and muttered, “My little husband, why hasn’t he come out yet?”
Unbeknownst to Su Ziyu, Li Qianfan, who was with Mo Hongti, had gone to the restroom before exiting the station. He lingered for quite some time before finally emerging.
He headed towards the parking lot.
Suddenly.
A Mini Cooper appeared beside him.
A nonchalant girlish voice drifted from the car window, “Hey handsome, need a ride?”
Upon seeing the car and hearing the voice, Li Qianfan smiled.
He looked at the girl inside the car and said with mock seriousness, “My mom once told me that a man traveling alone should never hitch a ride with a beautiful woman. Lest he be abducted and made her husband.”
Su Ziyu slanted her eyes at him, “Three, two.”
This wife was perfect in every way, except for her habit of counting down.
Li Qianfan nimbly got into the car, “Beautiful, I surrender. Take me home, and then trample me day and night with belts, candles, and ropes.”
Su Ziyu blushed deeply.
She raised her hand and pinched his thigh fiercely.
“Ah!”
Li Qianfan yelped and shouted towards the car window, “Help! Someone, quick!”
A hand promptly covered his mouth.
As the hand withdrew, it then led his left hand and placed it on her cool, yet smooth as jade, thigh.
The car started.
The couple remained silent, their gazes fixed ahead.
They were quietly savoring the joy of their reunion after a whole day apart.
As the car passed an intersection, Li Qianfan finally spoke, “Wife, did you take a taxi again?”
“Mhm.”
Su Ziyu hummed in response. “I calculated that you would drive to the station, so I used my spare key and took a taxi. Oh, by the way, why didn’t I see your Paipai boss?”
What do you mean, *my* Paipai boss?
Li Qianfan felt rather awkward.
But he replied, “She got off back in the provincial capital. She said she was going to entertain someone important and wanted me to accompany her. But how could I agree? I’d already predicted that you’d be waiting for me here, longing for my return.”
“Tch, I was just bored at home and decided to wander out.”
Su Ziyu scoffed. “When you came out, I’d only been at the station for five or six minutes.”
She would absolutely not tell Li Qianfan that she had already been waiting there since six in the evening.
Even though Li Qianfan had messaged her at four in the morning, informing her that the business hadn’t gone as planned and he’d have to take the last train, and wouldn’t reach Qingyun until around nine.
Still, she had arrived at the station early.
Because only then would her heart feel at ease.
The red light turned green.
The car started moving again.
Su Ziyu casually asked, “How did the business go?”
“It went rather smoothly, I suppose.”
Li Qianfan fabricated casually, “Your Paipai boss, a graduate of a prestigious university, still has some connections over there.”
They chatted casually like this, and after about ten minutes, the car stopped in front of a small restaurant.
As soon as Su Ziyu walked into the restaurant, the plump proprietress smiled and said, “You’re here? Hey, it’s been over three hours, I thought you weren’t coming.”
Su Ziyu, who had been bored at home and only rushed to the station five minutes before Li Qianfan’s arrival, blushed slightly. “I said I’d come, so of course I’d come.”
“All the dishes you ordered are ready, in private room 201.”
The proprietress eyed Li Qianfan up and down and tsked, “Is this your husband? He looks like a kid who just graduated high school?”
Li Qianfan disliked being told he looked young and immature.
Su Ziyu, on the other hand, dreaded being told she was an old cow eating young grass.
So she told a white lie, “He just looks a bit childish. In fact, he’s a year older than me.”
Li Qianfan was stunned.
The proprietress looked at them with suspicion.
As Su Ziyu quickly ascended the steps, she muttered resentfully to herself, “I’m never eating at your place again.”
Inside the small private room.
Four dishes and one soup, along with two bowls of rice, were already laid out on the table.
Su Ziyu was already hungry and picked up her chopsticks as soon as she sat down.
Li Qianfan washed his hands and had just sat down opposite her when he heard her cough.
He asked, “What’s wrong?”
Su Ziyu looked at him and said, “I can’t eat comfortably with you sitting across from me.”
Li Qianfan was puzzled. “Then I can’t possibly eat standing outside the door, can I?”
Su Ziyu kicked the empty chair to her right towards herself.
Li Qianfan finally understood and quickly got up, moved over, and sat next to her.
“Now that I can’t see your face, I suddenly have an appetite.”
Su Ziyu picked up a piece of food and said this.
Li Qianfan felt his dignity had been trampled upon!
However, considering his black-belt wife’s terrifying martial prowess, he could only feel indignant and dare not speak.
Even worse—
Su Ziyu’s fair, pink right leg suddenly and stealthily rested on his left leg.
Li Qianfan looked down.
She said, “I like to rest one leg when I eat. I’m borrowing your leg for a moment, do you have any objections?”
Did Li Qianfan dare to have any objections?
He could only adopt a subservient posture and say that he was incredibly fortunate to be the support for his wife’s “precious leg.”
He really wanted to take the opportunity to have some fun—
But he didn’t dare.
After all, his wife’s temper wasn’t very good, and she was a master who could fight four bald men.
As Li Qianfan thought of bald men, Su Ziyu also brought up the aftermath of the adventure at Little Green Mountain that day.
At noon today, Ning Xiaolan had specifically called Ziyu to talk about it.
Wu Neng and the other three, under the influence of justice, confessed their crimes.
Their leader was the general manager of the scenic area, Tan Xiaojun.
However, on the day of the incident, Tan Xiaojun had died in a valley south of Duck Peak.
When the search party finally found him, his body had already decomposed.
“Mom said that Tan Xiaojun was silenced. This case might be related to a wealthy family in Tiandong.”
By the time Su Ziyu finished recounting this, they had also finished eating.
“This is a criminal organization.”
Li Qianfan mused, nodding thoughtfully. Su Ziyu suddenly stood up, “Let’s go.”
It was normal to go home after eating.
But why did Su Ziyu look so displeased?
On the way home, her little face was cold the entire time.
Not only did she not proactively hold Li Qianfan’s hand and rest it on her fair leg, but she even ignored his “flirtatious advances.”
In the bedroom.
Li Qianfan lay by the edge of the bed and whispered, “Wife, did I do something wrong? You’d better tell me. Don’t bottle it up and make me guess. I’m actually quite slow-witted.”
On the floor mattress.
Su Ziyu, with her back to him, showed no reaction.
Li Qianfan waited for a long time.
He finally lay down flat and closed his eyes.
But Ziyu’s voice rang out, “I’m resting my leg on yours, and you don’t do anything. Do you think my leg is ugly?”
Li Qianfan—
He quickly propped himself up on the edge of the bed again and asked eagerly, “Wife, can I make amends now?”
A fair, tender foot lifted, stepped onto his forehead, and pressed down.
The light, airy voice came again, “Go away, I’m not in the mood anymore.”
“I’m truly a dense blockhead who doesn’t understand romance, damn it.”
With deep self-recrimination, Li Qianfan, tired from his injury, soon fell asleep.
Daybreak.
After washing up, Li Qianfan entered the dining room.
As soon as he sat down.
While Lan Mu and her daughter were busy in the kitchen preparing breakfast, Old Su, who was secretly browsing beautiful women on a certain app, leaned over.
With a mysterious expression, he said, “My dear son-in-law, Manager Dai hasn’t been to work for two days. I’ve tried calling her, but her phone has been off. Has something happened to her? After all, the entire company knows that Zhao Lianjin posted her photo in the work group chat.”
“She hasn’t been to the company for two days?”
Li Qianfan was taken aback and picked up his phone.
