Chapter 387 My Husband
After Bai Lu finished her bath, she received news that Xiao Cheng was returning to Pingcheng the next day.
After hanging up the phone, his face was darker than ever before, his eyes were full of hostility, and his expression was slightly anxious.
It was as if something was imminent, and even a minute's delay could have very serious consequences.
Bai Lu had never seen him with such an expression before.
If it's a business matter involving the four major powers, it's always very serious, and this time it's estimated to be twice as serious.
Bai Lu didn't try to stop him, nor did she want to talk about Xia Yuehu, not wanting to distract him.
But thinking about the expression on Lin Jinfan's face when he helped her up today, he felt it was necessary to explain.
He described the events at Xia Yue Lake in a way that downplayed the main points.
Then he took out the love knot: "It must have protected me. A cold wind blew, and the love knot hit the wind, creating an invisible force that knocked me down. My legs went numb, so I had no strength..."
The moment Xiao Cheng saw Bai Lu's fright, no explanation mattered anymore. Hearing her explanation now warmed his heart. He held the love knot and touched her forehead again; her skin was at a normal temperature.
The worry in her eyes did not diminish at all: "Stay at home for the next few days, and go back to school when I get back."
Bai Lu looked up from his embrace: "Are you going back to ask Lord Hu?"
Xiao Cheng hugged Bai Lu tightly, his gaze fixed on the dark night outside the window, lost in thought.
Only a faint, ethereal voice escaped from the corners of his tightly pursed lips: "Mmm."
Bai Lu was neither shocked nor incredulous; she knew some things from her past life.
Because her family had close ties with higher authorities, Bai Lu knew about the affairs of special departments within the government.
The highly respected master of Chinese studies was actually a master of metaphysics, as Bai Lu also knew.
By observing the stars at night, gazing at the secrets of the heavens, divining and fortune-telling, and looking down upon the mountains and rivers, one can know the fate of the nation.
You can't judge a book by its cover, and you can't measure the sea with a bucket. The more extraordinary something is, the less known it is.
Many things are suppressed under the newspaper news in order to maintain social stability and avoid causing panic.
Not a single word of it will appear in the public eye.
The safety of the people is the safety of the nation.
Deal with things that happen during the day during the day, and handle things that happen after dark in secret.
"After I get home, you must always keep the love knot with you." Xiao Cheng put the love knot back in Bai Lu's hand and held her hand tightly.
Bai Lu recalled the words of advice that Master Hu had given her on the phone a few days ago—
"The knot of love must never be separated from you."
Perhaps the old man had already sensed it.
Bai Lu obediently replied "Okay," and then the man's voice came from above her head: "You should rest well at home these few days, and go to school when I get back."
As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed even more uneasy and changed his words, saying, "Come home with me..."
Before he could finish speaking, he seemed to remember something and had to compromise: "You wait here for me to come back."
Bai Lu had never seen such a calm, wise, and decisive leader so conflicted.
Curious, I looked up and stared straight into his eyes, only to discover...
There was an unprecedented deep sense of worry, as if she would be in danger no matter where she was.
He was never at ease no matter where he was.
Bai Lu paused for a moment, then patted his chest to comfort him, saying, "I'm fine. We have a love knot, you know. After I found out that Xia Yuehu is not doing well, I won't go there again."
"Look, I don't have a fever now, and I definitely won't have one tomorrow or the day after, so don't worry."
As she spoke, she took his hand, placed it on his forehead, and felt the perfectly normal temperature.
Xiao Cheng wasn't entirely at ease, but he suppressed his worry and gently kissed the girl's brow.
"Wait for me to come back."
Bai Lu smiled and kissed him, obediently replying, "Okay, Mr. Xiao."
Xiao Cheng's furrowed brows slowly relaxed: "If you're not feeling well, don't go to school."
"Okay, Mr. Xiao, I'll go to school if I'm not sick, but I won't if I am sick."
"Don't wander around at night."
"Yes, Mr. Xiao."
"Call me if you need anything."
"Yes, Mr. Xiao."
"Don't talk to strange men."
"Yes, my dear husband!"
The air froze for a second, then a blanket was pulled over the headboard, obscuring the two figures entwined in love.
The moon shyly hid behind the clouds.
I can't listen, the couple is whispering sweet nothings to each other, and the girl is being deeply kissed by the man on the bed.
From forehead to eyebrows and eyes, from eyebrows and eyes to cheeks, from the tip of the nose to cheeks, from cheeks to red lips, neck...
A series of delicate kisses, filled with reluctance to part and deep affection, left his mark on her, a mark that no one else could covet.
...
Shang Chuyao's 580,000 yuan has been recovered.
It's right at Summer Moon Lake.
But the matter was quickly suppressed.
Perhaps because the matter is related to Xia Yue Lake, or perhaps because the thief has not yet been caught, a covert investigation is still needed.
Shang Chuyao didn't look happy at all; the aroma of the food in front of her was irresistible, but it couldn't attract her attention.
At this moment, her intense gaze was fixed on the beautiful girl's hand.
To be precise, it was when the girl picked up her chopsticks to eat that her sleeve rode up slightly, accidentally revealing her fair wrist and that dazzling red mark.
"Lulu, has your boyfriend completely taken advantage of you from head to toe?"
A fierce fire of gossip ignited in Shang Chuyao's eyes.
It's no wonder she was so shocked; rather, based on her time with Bai Lu these past few days, she knew Bai Lu all too well what kind of person she was, what kind of refined and virtuous young lady she was!
Bai Lu blushes even when she hugs her boyfriend at the school gate, how could she possibly...
