Chapter 195 I'll be waiting for you at home

"Aunt Liu, there's no point in saying more."

"When dealing with people like them who only cover their ears and don't want to listen to a single word, I feel that explaining even one more word is a waste of my breath and time, and it's all in vain!"

"Furthermore, I will save Xiaobao only because he is a living being, not because he is Wen Yuanshan's son!"

Ignoring Wen Yuanshan and Sun Yuling's pale faces, Wen Ni said those words and turned to leave with a flourish!

Even if we know that Wen Ni saved Xiao Bao, what can we do?

They will not feel regret, self-blame, or gratitude; in the end, they will only harbor resentment! Resentment that Wen Ni exists in this world!

Wen Ni had seen this clearly long ago.

"Baron! Qin Yuan! What are you waiting for? Bring your young master with you, and I'll escort you out of the checkpoint!"

"They're here! They're here!"

Qin Yuan and Balen responded.

Lu Jinye turned to look at Wen Yuanshan and Sun Yuling, only to see that they were just stroking Xiaobao's face, not giving Wen Ni a second glance...

Wen Ni is right, they are the real family.

Look away.

He walked steadily to Wen Ni's side and joined her in walking!

The shadows cast by the sunlight on the ground seem slightly misaligned, yet appear perfectly close...

Phoenix Town Military and Police Checkpoint

"Captain Lu, there were no casualties from this aftershock," Wen Ni reported into the guard post, holding a walkie-talkie. "The supplies have all been unloaded and will be distributed to the people shortly!"

"In addition, Lu Jinye and the others are preparing to return. After all, it's not safe here, and I don't have time to look after them."

As she spoke, her gaze fell on Lu Jinye, who was quietly waiting outside the glass door for her to finish her report.

"That brat came all the way here, and went straight to you? He didn't even say he wanted to see his father?" Captain Lu's voice boomed over the walkie-talkie, but there was no hint of displeasure. "Truly, boys grow up and leave home!"

"Captain Lu, what complaints do you have about him? Why don't you two talk about it privately on the phone?" Wen Ni gripped the walkie-talkie tightly and turned her back. "This is on public address!"

The two soldiers on guard duty in the guard post exchanged a glance, as if they had stumbled upon some juicy gossip.

"Okay then, you go ahead and do your thing!"

"Okay, Captain Lu."

He gritted his teeth and put the walkie-talkie back in his pocket.

When Wen Ni turned around again, she had regained her composure and was as calm as ever!

"Why haven't you left yet?" She pushed open the glass door and looked at Lu Jinye.

"I remembered something I wanted to ask you." Lu Jinye's face was covered by a mask, revealing only his deep eyes. "Didn't you tell Xiaocheng and the others about your involvement in the earthquake relief efforts?"

Upon hearing this, Winnie shook her head. "No, and there's no need to tell them; it would only cause them unnecessary worry. But why do you ask? Did Xiaocheng contact you?"

"Yes, he said you've been acting strange lately, and you're not answering his video calls."

“I can’t answer in this state.” Wen Ni pointed to the dirt on her body and face, then frowned at him. “But why is Xiao Cheng asking you about this? He should know that I’m no longer your bodyguard.”

"He probably thinks I'm closer to you, right?" Lu Jinye blurted out.

Baron and Qin Yuan exchanged a glance behind them...

Good grief, their dad's starting to play it straight now!

"That really is a weird illusion!" Wen Ni glanced down at her watch. "Alright, you guys should go now, I have a lot of things to do!"

"I'm relieved to see you're alright. Take care of yourself." Lu Jinye's eyes were full of concern.

Wen Ni automatically avoided his gaze, lowered her head to adjust the gun holster, and snorted out a single word through her nose, "Hmm!"

"I'm waiting for you to come home."

She heard him say that.

Then a warm hand gently brushed the stray hairs from her forehead, a gesture of extraordinary intimacy!

The two soldiers at the guard post were completely dumbfounded!

Wen Ni was even more stunned!

After realizing what was happening, she turned her head sharply, her eyes fixed on the two soldiers as if she wanted to kill them.

The soldiers who received the death stare immediately understood and turned around in unison, not daring to look back even once more!

"You! Get out of here right now!" Wen Ni turned her gaze and stared fiercely at Lu Jinye.

Like a kitten with its fur standing on end!

"Yes, sir!"

Lu Jinye smiled broadly, raised his hand in salute, then stepped down the stairs, turned around, and opened the car door.

Qin Yuan and Baron also got into the car, and didn't forget to roll down the window, saying, "Miss Nini, see you at home!"

"Get out! Get out now!"

"..."

Wen Ni turned around only after watching the truck drive away.

I'm waiting for you to come home.

Lu Jinye's words kept echoing in her mind!

Home?

What's going on? Saying such ambiguous things? So annoying...

Wen Ni ruffled her hair in frustration and turned around aggressively. "Brothers of Team Three, assemble! Let's get to work!"

"Commander Wen's in a bad mood! The unlucky guys in the third squad are in for a rough time today~" The soldier in the guard post slowly turned around, looking gloating.

They didn't notice

In the mountain forest not far from them, a camera lens gradually retracted...

A gentle breeze swept through the mountains and forests, dispersing the mist and thick clouds.

In the stillness of the night...

Popular actor Lu Jinye is trending again! But this time, it's for good news!

"So Mr. Lu's previous purchases of baby products were all for donation to children in disaster areas!" Wen Cheng leaned over the cashier at Bao Xiangzhai, scrolling through Weibo.

“I told you he didn’t look like a scumbag,” Li Yuanchang said while helping a customer pack gemstones.

Having just finished his work and taken a breather, Xiao Weilai brought over a cup of tea. He tapped on Wen Cheng's table and said, "Our little one has finished his homework. What are you still dawdling here for? It's already past midnight. Are you even going to school tomorrow?"

"superior……"

Wen Cheng picked up the pen again, and after writing just one word, she suddenly jumped up in surprise, "Wait! Something's not right!"

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Weilai almost choked to death on a mouthful of water.

"This photo! Look at that figure in the guard post in this photo, doesn't it look just like my sister!?"

"What!?"

This time, even Li Yuanchang came over.

The photo is taken from a distance, is blurry, and only shows a back view.

“You can’t even see the face clearly, let alone tell if it’s a man or a woman. How could it be a young woman?” Li Yuanchang said.

“Yes, and besides, Boss Wen is from the cooking squad, so how could she possibly be involved in disaster relief?” Xiao Weilai shook his head repeatedly.

"Xiao Cheng, you must be missing Wen Ni too much and are hallucinating. Your sister is doing well in university, nothing's wrong with her!"

"That's right, that's right!" Li Yuanchang came over and checked Wen Cheng's forehead temperature. "No fever. He must have gotten confused from doing homework. Okay, stop writing and go back to sleep!"

"No, I still have to hand in my homework."

"Isn't this the only text left to copy? Go ahead, I'll copy it for you!" Li Yuanchang patted his chest!

Xiao Weilai came over and kicked him aside, saying, "Don't you dare mislead the students! You have to finish your own homework!"

"..." Li Yuanchang cursed silently.

"Thank you, Brother Li, but Uncle Xiao is right, I can write it myself!" Wen Cheng smiled and put down her phone.

Xiao Weilai nodded in satisfaction, then rested one hand on the counter. "Xiao Cheng, there's something else I want to tell you, so you can prepare in advance!"

"What's up?"

"There's a dinner next week where we'll be meeting with some of Baoxiangzhai's partners to discuss future collaborations. You should come along!"

"Me, me!?" Wen Cheng pointed at herself, somewhat surprised and nervous.
