Chapter 132 is probably because of that matter.
When Yang Zeyan returned, it was already past midnight. Seeing that Du Ruoxia was still busy, he immediately turned off the lights.
"Ah!" Du Ruoxia exclaimed in surprise.
Upon seeing Yang Zeyan's shadow, he said irritably, "What are you doing? Turn on the light!"
"Rest for a day, we'll get back to work tomorrow." Yang Zeyan turned on the light again and walked over, pretending to carry the person to bed.
Du Ruoxia refused, "Hey, no way, there are too many files!"
Yang Zeyan stopped. "What information? There's plenty of time. No rush."
Du Ruoxia sighed and told Yang Zeyan about what happened at the museum. Yang Zeyan asked in surprise.
"Director Xin gave you so much information? Don't they have anyone else?"
Du Ruoxia had no choice; she really couldn't refuse this job, since her supervisor had already sent it to her.
Yang Zeyan lowered his eyes and began to think. He walked out the door, and Du Ruoxia knew that he had probably gone out for a smoke.
She didn't know Yang Zeyan smoked at first because they didn't spend much time together. It was only when he smoked at the guesthouse that day, when he was feeling uncomfortable, that she found out he smoked.
Du Ruoxia ignored him. It doesn't matter much if a man smokes occasionally, as long as he's not a heavy smoker.
Having slept all day, Du Ruoxia wasn't in high spirits, and felt physically unwell.
She stayed up until 3 a.m. to finish the previous day's tasks, and under Yang Zeyan's sinister gaze, she had no choice but to go to bed.
"I'm telling you, we can't continue tonight, I'm in pain!" Du Ruoxia moved far away from Yang Zeyan as soon as she got into bed.
Yang Zeyan's face stiffened at her raging attitude. Realizing he had gone too far, he lowered his voice and went to bed to coax her.
"I won't touch you, just go to sleep." He reached out and put his arm around Du Ruoxia's waist.
"No, stay away from me. No, go sleep outside!" Du Ruoxia pointed warily at the door.
Yang Zeyan pursed his lips and remained silent, but Du Ruoxia didn't look at him. It was her own soft-heartedness that caused her to be sore all over now!
"The sofa outside is hard and uncomfortable."
"Besides, I haven't had a proper night's sleep since I left..."
Yang Zeyan's voice came in a low voice, but Du Ruoxia looked away. Without a doubt, this man's eyes were like those of an unwanted puppy!
"Xiaxia, I'm tired," Yang Zeyan sighed again.
Du Ruoxia glanced at him casually and indeed saw a dark circle under his eyes.
She blinked. "Then it's a deal, you're not allowed to touch me!"
Yang Zeyan smiled happily, "I promise I won't touch you tonight!"
Du Ruoxia nodded, and Yang Zeyan immediately turned off the light, got into bed, and hugged her tightly.
"Hey, you said you wouldn't touch me!" Du Ruoxia struggled and shouted.
Yang Zeyan buried his head in her neck and whispered, "I won't touch you, I'll just hold you while I sleep!"
The next day, Du Ruoxia got up the moment Yang Zeyan got up.
Yang Zeyan pressed her down, preventing her from getting up, saying, "Take another nap."
Du Ruoxia was not about to agree; she wanted to make money to open a factory!
"Just focus on your own business. Xu Yan knew about your trip to Kyoto. I remember it was a covert mission. The fact that she knew about it means she's not someone simple."
"Although Commander Xiao said he would handle it, you should still double-check it yourself, so you don't get ambushed without even knowing it."
Du Ruoxia doesn't easily believe what someone says, nor does she doubt someone without reason.
Commander Xiao's protective attitude towards Regiment Commander Li aroused her suspicion, which is why she brought up the matter to warn Yang Zeyan to be careful.
“That Li Jie does have some issues, but he’s no longer within our purview. You’ll find out later!” Yang Zeyan explained to Du Ruoxia with a smile.
Du Ruoxia frowned. It was Commander Xiao's usual routine. She didn't insist anymore, picked up the documents and went to find Song Hongjiao, while Yang Zeyan walked behind her.
Song Hongjiao and Zhang Mingwen came out together, and Du Ruoxia knew she was going to be a third wheel.
“Commander Yang isn’t busy these days, so he can keep his wife company,” Zhang Mingwen said, looking at Du Ruoxia and the other woman.
Du Ruoxia twitched the corner of her mouth. Forget it. Sleeping in the same bed at night and sticking together all day is not her style.
"No need, it's easier for me to go by myself," she replied sheepishly, but her steps quickened.
“Together,” Yang Zeyan said naturally.
Du Ruoxia glanced at him and gave him a meaningful look, but Yang Zeyan didn't respond. Instead, he smiled and gave her a reassuring look.
As they emerged from the residential compound, the group of four attracted the attention of many residents.
"What's going on here? Zhang Mingwen is taking Song Hongjiao, who's heavily pregnant, and Yang Tuan is also taking his wife to work?"
"Isn't that strange? Didn't Xu Yan say that Commander Yang's wife was having an affair? If it were true, Commander Yang definitely wouldn't have kept her around!"
"You guys don't know yet? Commander Li's whole family has moved away, and Lin Meifeng has been banned from entering the family compound. I bet it's because of this!"
Du Ruoxia had been listening to their gossip the whole time; she knew all about it, but she didn't know where Li Jie's family had gone.
"If you know anything, just ask. Why go to all this trouble?" Yang Zeyan's voice came from the side.
Du Ruoxia chuckled, "I just want to know which family is behind them. Based on Commander Xiao's guess, they should be related to a powerful family."
Yang Zeyan's lips curled up, seemingly in a good mood, and Du Ruoxia boldly continued to ask.
"Is it the Zhao family?" Du Ruoxia asked softly.
Yang Zeyan looked at her seriously. "Why do you say that?"
Du Ruoxia glanced at Song Hongjiao and Zhang Mingwen in front of her, and then leaned closer to Yang Zeyan, saying, "I guessed it was the Zhao family and the Chen family, but the Chen family hasn't had any trouble recently, only the Zhao family."
Yang Zeyan nodded slightly after listening, and Du Ruoxia was overjoyed; she had guessed correctly.
"So, Li Jie was implicated in the events in Xilan City?"
Du Ruoxia could only think this way, because Li Jie was originally a dutiful regimental commander with decent abilities. Although he was not as capable as Yang Zeyan, he should not have been so severely implicated because of his mother's matter.
"Originally, it had nothing to do with him, but he leaked my whereabouts, so now it's related to him."
"We don't need to get involved in this. Just go to work!"
Yang Zeyan's words of comfort did not reassure Du Ruoxia; she felt that things were not as serious as they seemed.
Yang Zeyan and Zhang Mingwen delivered the gifts for three consecutive days, and finally stopped after Du Ruoxia protested.
She really didn't want to be stared at like a monkey every day, and they kept saying that she was incredibly lucky to have married Yang Zeyan!
Because of this, Du Ruoxia wouldn't let Yang Zeyan into bed at night anymore.
Ever since Yang Zeyan learned that Du Ruoxia was about to go to the capital to study, he has become very clingy. At first, he was concerned about Du Ruoxia's health, but later he just tricked her into coming.
Every morning when Du Ruoxia woke up, she wanted to curse her father, but Yang Zeyan was always the fastest to run away.
Thanks to Yang Zeyan, Du Ruoxia had to support her back every time she went out.
Du Ruoxia was exploited by Director Xin during the day and by Yang Zeyan at night. She was truly on the verge of tears.
