Chapter 70 She liked both this and that. ...

That was the first time that there were no barriers between them, and their spiritual desires reached each other to the deepest part of their being.

Meng Yanxi is crazy.

But compared to his reckless desire to die with her, Jin Zhao remained relatively rational. She hugged his shoulders, her fingers impatiently gripping the tense muscles of his back, and reminded him in his ear that the soundproofing was poor. He pressed his lips firmly against hers, mumbling, "The roads are already blocked."

The roads are closed, tourists can't come, and most hotel rooms are empty. Moreover, this hotel isn't in the central tourist area. Jinzhao booked it because of its excellent environment; it's just that the location isn't ideal, so it's good value for money.

Later, Meng Yanxi moved to a different apartment, and Jin Zhao had nothing more to say.

The torrential rain lasted for three days and three nights, and the little mandarin ducks stayed in the hotel for the same three days and three nights.

Meng Yanxi explored every corner.

The suite is on the top floor and has a terrace overlooking the mountains and forests.

The mountain was covered with lush vegetation—pine forests, green bamboo, and other unidentified green plants—swaying in the wind and rain. The sound of bamboo leaves was the most distinct, their delicate leaves rustling as they were struck.

Meng Yanxi's favorite spot is in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the terrace, where she tries out all sorts of poses.

He didn't count, but he probably did everything he could think of.

Jin Zhao's body is very flexible, but unfortunately, her stamina is lacking. They said it would last three days and three nights, but he suspected she slept through most of the time; he himself didn't really experience much of the pleasure.

Jin Zhao still had tears in her eyes as she accused him of being heartless.

He touched his nose guiltily.

While Jin Zhao was sleeping, he took care of some more things.

His wife suffered such a great injustice; he couldn't let her suffer in vain.

Just as he finished making arrangements, Meng Shijin called, saying that there was a severe rainstorm in Suiyi, causing urban flooding, and that his sister was missing and he couldn't reach her by phone. He told him to hurry up and pick her up and take her home.

Meng Yanxi's gaze fell on the open bedroom door. In the dim light, he could vaguely see his girlfriend, exhausted and fast asleep on the bed. He suddenly felt an urge to beat up Meng Zhuxi, who had run off and ruined things.

He called Meng Zhuxi, but as expected, she didn't answer. He knew perfectly well that this girl had taken a liking to Zhou Huaichen lately, and she was constantly clinging to him.

Meng Yanxi called Zhou Huaichen directly, and sure enough, she was at Zhou Huaichen's house.

Meng Yanxi knew Zhou Huaichen better than anyone. He wasn't worried about the girl being with Zhou Huaichen at all; if he was worried about anything, it was about Zhou Huaichen. But he still said in a teasing tone, "It's raining so hard, it's not convenient for her to stay with you. How about I come and pick her up now?"

The truth is, he's currently in a state of blissful intimacy, and he'll want to continue even after his girlfriend wakes up; he can't keep up with anything else.

Zhou Huaichen, true to his word, said, "Don't come over. The whole city is flooded right now, and the police are still out on duty in the middle of the night. Give people a break. If you get stuck in the car, there won't be enough people to rescue you."

Okay. Meng Yanxi wants to hang up now.

But he still absentmindedly replied politely, "That would be too much trouble for you. It wouldn't be a problem if I drove a taller car."

Zhou Huaichen: "Tsk, Mr. Meng, what kind of car don't you have? You could even drive a big truck over right now. But not your sister. The little girl is already sick, and she's sleeping soundly right now. Do you expect me to wake her up and have her go back with you through the wind and rain? What kind of brother are you?"

Meng Yanxi's eyes were glued to the bed in the bedroom, her heart already wandering to it. She just wanted to hang up the phone as soon as possible, but when she heard that Meng Zhuxi was sick, her brotherly conscience immediately surfaced.

"Sick? What happened?" He frowned slightly, his expression turning serious.

Zhou Huaichen: "It's not serious, just a cold with a slight fever. As for how she caught it? Ask her. She had the air conditioner blowing directly on her at 18 degrees Celsius. Even if she didn't have a cold, the air conditioner would get her a major demerit."

Meng Yanxi: "?"

Is the air conditioner set to 18 degrees Celsius?

That girl is afraid of the cold; the air conditioner has never been set below 26 degrees Celsius since she was a child.

Meng Yanxi felt that she had seen through some secret.

Well, now we don't need to look for their biological parents; they're siblings.

He used the excuse of allergies, pretending to be dizzy and weak, and begged to stay overnight at his girlfriend's house; Meng Zhuxi, on the other hand, simply let himself catch a cold.

Zhou Huaichen: "Perfect timing, your sister's awake. Let her tell you herself."

As soon as the phone was handed to Meng Zhuxi, Meng Yanxi asked meaningfully, "What's with the air conditioner being set to 18 degrees?"

Feeling guilty, Meng Zhuxi gave an irrelevant answer: "Your car has a low chassis, are you afraid it will float in the water and you can't come to pick me up? Then you should go and buy a truck and drive over right now."

Meng Yanxi raised an eyebrow slowly and deliberately: "Meng Zhuxi, do you dare to contradict me?"

Meng Zhuxi wasn't afraid of him at all and continued to block him without changing her expression: "Once you buy the truck, it doesn't matter if the rain stops. You can still use it next time. A truck isn't a disposable item. But your sister is your sister for life."

The blankets on the bed stirred slightly, appearing like an ambiguous wave in the dim light.

Meng Zhuxi harbored ulterior motives, while Meng Yanxi was even more eager and had no patience to play along with her act. He slammed down the phone and got up to walk towards the big bed.

On the other side, Meng Zhuxi had no idea how happy his brother was. Hearing the busy tone, he thought his brother was throwing a tantrum. The innocent Meng Zhuxi blinked, handed the phone back to Zhou Huaichen, and casually complained, "My brother hung up on me."

Zhou Huaichen reached out and took the phone, chuckling as he replied, "Serves you right! If I were your brother, I'd hang up on you too. With this wind and rain in the middle of the night, where am I supposed to buy you a truck?"

Meng Yanxi: We can't buy a single truck.

His girlfriend woke up, and all he wanted to do now was drive.

...

The two didn't return to Suiyi until the rain stopped in Jinjue Town.

Seeing Zhuang Yu waiting downstairs, Jin Zhao's face flushed with embarrassment.

Meng Yanxi didn't leave her hotel room for three days and three nights; the reason is self-evident.

Jin Zhao was thin-skinned, but Meng Yanxi was thick-skinned. She acted as if nothing had happened and even said to Zhuang Yu in a pretentious manner, "Next time you go back first, I'll drive back myself."

Jin Zhao: "?" You want a next time?

Zhuang Yu: "Okay, Mr. Meng."

Inner monologue: You think I don't want to? In this torrential rain, are you telling me to swim back?

His sensible decision not to stay at the same hotel as his boss is already the greatest sincerity an employee can show to a six-figure monthly salary.

But those who stayed by Meng Yanxi's side possessed not only sincerity but also intelligence. Once in the car, Chao casually asked, "President Meng, are there mosquitoes around here?"

Who is Meng Yanxi? She's even more shrewd than Zhuang Yu. She glanced at Jin Zhao and immediately launched into a comedic remark: "You don't live here?"

Jin Zhao's face was burning hot, but upon hearing this, he immediately looked up.

Zhuang scratched his neck and said, "Right, I didn't stay here. I wanted to go to the scenic area, so I stayed in the central area. But it's been raining heavily these past few days, so I haven't been able to."

Meng Yanxi: "Mm."

The salary wasn't wasted; that's exactly what I was waiting for.

Jin Zhao silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she didn't know why she was feeling embarrassed, they were already boyfriend and girlfriend.

She even went so far as to add, seemingly trying to cover up the truth, "You can come again next time."

I only found out while scrolling through my phone that not only Jinjue Town and Suiyi were hit by torrential rain, but they were actually considered lucky. In this once-in-fifty-years monstrous rainstorm, Jiangcheng was the most severely affected, and the armed police and special police from Suiyi had rushed to provide support overnight.

Although Suiyi was also affected, with some urban flooding, the situation was quickly resolved, and there was no major disaster. By the time I returned, the rain had stopped.

Jin Zhao's phone was damaged by water and completely ruined, so the two of them went to buy a new phone.

Jin Zhao and Meng Yanxi have always kept their finances separate, and Jin Zhao insists on paying for everything herself. In the past, Meng Yanxi always let her have her way, but now that he knows she has just paid back the money to Jin's family, he is afraid that his girlfriend will be stubborn and refuse to ask him for help, and that they will really have to live a hard life, so he no longer lets her have her way.

Jin Zhao persisted, and Meng Yanxi suddenly asked, "Don't I still owe you money?"

Jin Zhao: "?"

How could that be? How could a big capitalist owe her money?

Jin Zhao: "No, I don't think so."

Meng Yanxi looked at her thoughtfully, then suddenly asked, "Back in my second year of high school, you used to stuff goji berry and chrysanthemum tea into my desk every day. Did you spend a lot of money on that?"

Caught off guard, Jin Zhao's face flushed red.

I had a crush on him when I was young, but I could only keep my girlish feelings to myself. The boldest thing I ever did was to arrive at school ten minutes early every day after he told me that he was a little nearsighted, and secretly slip a bottle of goji berry and chrysanthemum tea into his desk.

She thought it was a girlish secret that no one knew about, but after so many years, she was unexpectedly exposed by the person involved. Jin Zhao didn't know whether to be ashamed or angry.

She was ashamed that her secret crush had been revealed, and annoyed that this person hadn't given her any face at all, exposing her secret on the spot.

As a result, Meng Yanxi seized the opportunity and quickly paid for the phone.

Jin Zhao: "..."

She admitted that Meng Yanxi could be quite annoying at times.

Jin Zhao muttered softly, "How did you know it was me?"

Meng Yanxi's tone was incredibly irritating: "Do you think someone like me would drink water from just anyone?"

Jin Zhao stubbornly insisted, "It was just a few dollars, I just did it on the spur of the moment."

The implication is that it's worthless, not specifically for you, so don't be too smug and don't need to remember it for so long.

Meng Yanxi raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "A few dollars a day adds up to several hundred dollars. If you invest properly, like buying Bitcoin, it would be worth two or three hundred thousand dollars in ten years."

Meng Yanxi: "Jin Zhao, I owe you 300,000."

Jin Zhao: "?"

Meng Yanxi: "My girlfriend and I both dislike owing money. Remember to send me your bank account number later, and I'll transfer the money to you."

Jin Zhao: "..." Absolutely astonishing.

Someone just needs to say a few words and suddenly 300,000 yuan appears out of thin air.

With your mouth, Suiyi's GDP will take another big step forward!

Jin Zhao stared blankly at the person for a long time before finally managing to utter, "Meng Yanxi, don't go too far."

Meng Yanxi threw her phone at her: "Look at the increase in Bitcoin's value over the past ten years, and see if I'm lying."

Jin Zhao: "But I won't buy Bitcoin."

Meng Yanxi: "I will. I'll buy it for you."

Jin Zhao: "..."

Unable to argue with him, Jin Zhao stopped struggling and turned to get a replacement SIM card.

Meng Yanxi followed her into the business hall and said casually, "We've already gone to the bathhouse, so it's clear we're not meant to be. Why don't we just get a new SIM card?"

He never wanted to see her cry like that again in his life.

He wanted her to cut ties with Jin's family.

Jin Zhao naturally understood what he meant, but that card contained not only her family, but also her work and her social relationships. Just like her life, it wasn't just about her family; she had many, many other things as well.

She did act impulsively that night.

She has been very rational most of the time over the years, but she is not a purely rational person after all. When her emotions are severely impacted, she can also act impulsively and let her emotions take precedence.

But she doesn't regret it.

If she were to have a child with Meng Yanxi because of this, she would be very happy, even if the arrival of the child at this time might slow down her progress. But that would be fine too, since she liked both of them.

She likes both of them.

And those bad things, after the impulse subsides, she will deal with them seriously, but not just by running away.

Jin Zhao got a replacement card. Meeting Meng Yanxi's dark eyes, she calmly explained, "I'd better get a replacement. What if the Nobel Committee notifies me to collect the Nobel Prize in Literature and they can't reach me?"

Meng Yanxi, who was initially a little unhappy, was speechless.

He and his wife are a perfect match; he fell in love with his fellow patient at first sight in a sea of ​​people.

Unfortunately, the patient refused to go to his home, insisting on returning to her own apartment and coldly locking him out, refusing him permission to stay overnight.

She still had a week of vacation left. Meng Yanxi felt it was a waste, while Jin Zhao just wanted to rest.

Those three days at the hotel were absolutely insane.

Meng Yanxi is... she actually... except when eating and sleeping, she is lost in pleasure.

Now that she's back in Suiyi, Jinzhao just wants to focus on maintaining her health.

Meng Yanxi took some time to go back to the Meng family home.

During the torrential rain in Jiangcheng, Zhou Huaichen led the Cheetah Team to carry out disaster relief. Meng Zhuxi was worried about her, and Meng Shixu couldn't bear to see his little darling like that, so he found her something to do and asked the school to move up her graduation project deadline by a week.

Like a bolt from the blue, Meng Zhuxi screamed. Her father, heartless, remained unmoved. Meng Yanxi, meanwhile, watched the spectacle with a smug grin.

However, the joy turned to sorrow when Meng Shixu wanted to donate money and asked him to personally take the supplies to Jiangcheng.

Meng Yanxi: "..."

Why don't you let Meng Zhuxi go? I think she'd be happy to.

Meng Yanxi went to Jiangcheng again without complaint.

*

The new phone and new SIM card, when turned on, apart from messages in the work group and some inappropriate hints from Meng Yanxi, there was nothing else.

Her family has not contacted her.

Although she didn't expect an apology or explanation, the complete lack of response made her feel like a joke.

All those expectations and sorrows were a joke.

Her boyfriend was always looking for her, wanting to take pictures whether it was raining or sunny, and even telling her about a sheep he saw on the street.

If she replies a few minutes late, he will accuse her of being negligent.

He went to Jiangcheng for almost a week, hoping to return before her school started.

Jin Zhao slept soundly for several days. On the day Meng Yanxi returned, he sent a message saying he was sick and that Meng Zhuxi had infected him.

Although Jin Zhao sometimes found him annoying, she felt sorry for him when she heard that he was sick and immediately rushed to Shanshui City.

As soon as she opened the door, the man pulled her into his arms, showering her with kisses.

"You're faking illness!" Jin Zhao accused.

The scoundrel chuckled as he pressed against her, "I told you, it was my sister who gave me this 'disease'."

The present situation is unclear.

Meng Yanxi: "That girl deliberately caught a cold so she could stay at his house in order to pursue Zhou Huaichen. That gave me an idea, so I tricked you into coming here."

With that, he picked her up and strode toward the bed.

Jin Zhao: "..."

Meng Yanxi was very self-aware; ever since she said she didn't need it, he really hadn't used a condom even once.

Jin Zhao didn't say anything, tacitly agreeing.

She went there in the afternoon and left in the middle of the night, the man still holding her tenderly.

He hugged her from behind, his hand resting on her lower abdomen, his tone intimate and joyful: "What if you're really pregnant?... No, you must already be pregnant."

Jin Zhao: "...What terrifying confidence."

Meng Yanxi: "Yeah, that's just how I am; I respect the facts."

Jin Zhao remained silent for a moment, then said, "The child I'm carrying is mine; you don't need to think about the future."

Meng Yanxi remained silent for a moment.

Jin Zhao is sensitive, and he is perceptive. He understands her and is more willing to indulge her.

He chuckled softly, "Well, I won't compete with you. Just let me claim the title."

Jin Zhao: "Famous status?"

Meng Yanxi kissed her earlobe: "The title of father."

The word "Dad" was spoken softly, carrying a gentle and tender warmth that reached Jin Zhao's ears, making her feel all tingly.

Admittedly, she was driven by a desperate desire for a family bond that belonged solely to her, and she was willing to do anything to have a child. However, she seemed to have forgotten to ask Meng Yanxi's opinion, even though he had that right.

After a long silence, Jin Zhao finally asked softly, "Are you ready?"

Meng Yanxi chuckled lightly: "Do I look unprepared to you?"

He'd been waiting for this day for ages; otherwise, why would he have asked for a cat for no reason? But some people just don't understand.

Meng Yanxi gently pressed her palm against her lower abdomen: "It's like your mother dreaming of 30 million, and I can grant that dream immediately. So, do you think I'm ready?"

Jin Zhao lowered his eyes and whispered, "It's not money."

Meng Yanxi put his hand on her shoulder, making her turn around to face him.

Their eyes met; the light was dim and quiet.

Meng Yanxi lowered her gaze and stared at her: "Do you remember what I told you before? People from different worlds will eventually part ways. There's a second part to that."

Jin Zhao asked softly, "What?"

Meng Yanxi: "People from the same world will eventually meet again, just like you and me."

“Lingling, you and I are from the same world.” Meng Yanxi’s dark eyes looked straight into hers. “We will always be together, and if you want, we can have children.”
