A night of passion is short, especially since Chen Rou said she would be leaving late. Nie Zhao thought she could have a good rest the next day, but he was also afraid that if his wife left for several days, he would have nowhere to pay his dues. So he endured the pain of hemorrhoids and fought twice.

This was the first time, and after it was over, Chen Rou lay in bed for a long time, unwilling to get up and take a shower.

Nie Zhao actually preferred it this way. He liked his wife to have his scent on her body and didn't like her to be heartless after they were done. He would immediately get up and take a shower to wash away all his scent.

She turned on the light, but didn't get out of bed. A smile played on her lips as she lay there lazily.

Oh right, I was busy with some business earlier and Nie Zhao didn't have a chance to thank her. Also, when he was seriously injured and unconscious, he happened to see her in the future and himself in a wheelchair. Although he didn't know what happened at the time, he later analyzed it with his mind and figured that he must have encountered something particularly difficult.

Based on his father Nie Rong's current situation, and the unavoidable similarities between himself and Nie Rong in his own personality, Nie Zhao responsibly deduced that he would encounter the same problems as Nie Rong in his old age.

In other words, his two nephews are likely to be like Nie Rong to him now—family members, but also a double-edged sword.

That's why he's so determined to have a child of his own.

But of course not now, but after the situation regarding his return becomes clear and there are no more bounties for him in the pirate camp.

That's why Nie Zhao supports the international police at all costs. At the same time, he is also very frustrated because when he thinks of the Philippines and Gui Touchang's park, the wound on his head throbs. But Chen Rou, the woman he hopes will give birth to an heir, is going back to the Philippines tomorrow. She doesn't even flinch. Before leaving, she even specially invited Huo Qi to put on a show to make him reconcile with his two nephews.

Boss Nie was also lying down. After hesitating for a while, he finally spoke: "Arou, thank you for today."

Chen Rou felt sticky and uncomfortable, but she was indeed a bit tired after going through two rounds of activity and didn't want to get up. Her mind wasn't on the Nie family, and she couldn't remember what Nie Zhao had said for a moment. She smiled and said, "Why are you thanking me?"

Nie Zhao had little patience for anyone except Chen Rou.

Of course, he was patient with her because, in this world, only in front of her could he be completely unguarded.

Before today, he knew that his two nephews would not make mistakes on major issues and he trusted them. However, he had always been the passive one, waiting for his two nephews to come closer to him. He was always wary of them because of Nie Yao. But it was only today that he realized that the two boys would stand up for him on matters of principle.

He then realized that the two children had been waiting for him to approach them.

It was a very simple thing. They were both standing still, waiting for the other to come closer. But if Chen Rou hadn't broken down that invisible barrier between them, they would never have taken the initiative to get closer to each other.

Nie Zhao wanted to thank his wife for this very thing; she acted as a bond that connected him with his two nephews.

The night was still long, and it was already three o'clock. Boss Nie had already gone through two rounds, but for some reason, although his little bottom was still hurting, he felt that he could do it again. So, halfway through the conversation, he didn't want to talk anymore. He turned his head to his wife and, of course, had to ask her first if she was tired and if she still wanted to.

But just then, Chen Rou's phone rang on the bedside table, and she immediately did a sit-up.

She hung up the phone and went to the bathroom.

Why is he keeping his wife awake in the middle of the night? Could it be that Li Xia from the mainland again?

She has never had a good sense of time, and whenever she has something she can't handle, she likes to call Chen Rou.

Because it was an unfamiliar number, that's how Nie Zhao guessed it. Of course, he never expected that Chen Rou would be leaving tonight.

But when she came out of the bathroom, she opened the closet and pulled out clothes: eight-pocket work pants, a tight T-shirt, and a jacket. With a zipper zip, she picked up a suitcase full of various gun parts and two changes of clothes. She walked towards him, beckoned him with her finger, and Nie Zhao, of course, didn't move, but he understood: "You two agreed to leave tonight."

She said it would be tomorrow, and he only came twice, but she lied; she was leaving tonight.

So, one question is, doesn't she feel tired?

Since Nie Zhao wasn't moving and Chen Rou was in a hurry to leave, she didn't play the usual games. She grabbed her phone and charger and put them in her pocket. She said, "We'll be here one day and gone the next. If things go well, we'll be back in three days."

For Nie Zhao, it's not a matter of how many days she'll be back.

Rather, he had exhausted a lot of her energy, which might affect her ability to do things.

Moreover, she lied to him, even if that lie was just a white lie, like when she praised Song Yuanchao's bald head as handsome. But for Nie Zhao, Chen Rou putting him on the same level as Song Yuanchao made him uncomfortable.

He remained motionless and silent, only staring at his wife with resentful eyes.

...

Song Yuanchao was on the basement level, standing in front of a Pajero.

Seeing Chen Rou get off the elevator, he immediately jogged over to take her luggage and opened the passenger door.

By the time she got into the car, he had already thrown his luggage into the back seat, moved to the driver's seat, and stepped on the gas. The bodyguard on night duty had already opened the iron gate, and as soon as the two of them went out, the iron gate immediately closed again.

Song Yuanchao was quite puzzled: "You didn't wake the boss and quietly went downstairs?"

That's why Chen Rou was in her thirties in her previous life and didn't want to date or get married.
