"Boss Li, I bought these from people in the nearby villages. They are all the freshest and most authentic. They are grown by the villagers themselves and are not sprayed with pesticides." Captain Wang placed the bags in his hands on the pavilion.
"Thank you." Li Zhenting gave him another red envelope.
He was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
"What's wrong? Mr. Li, you slept outside here last night."
After a while, Captain Wang looked up and saw the red marks of various sizes on Li Zhenting's face from mosquito bites. His originally handsome and fair face now looked very miserable and pitiful... Especially the small red spots on his arms, which were a bit shocking.
The richest man in the imperial capital, who is so handsome, talented and has such a high family background, would actually degrade himself to such an extent for a woman. I really don’t know what ability Shen Ning has to get such true love from him.
"It's okay, you go first." Li Zhenting didn't answer him, but just let him go.
"Mr. Li, if you have no place to sleep at night, just come to my house. You really can't sleep outside here." Captain Wang felt very sympathetic towards him. The yard outside was full of mosquitoes and it was still very cold late at night. Even the local villagers had never slept in an open-air yard.
"No, I have to protect my wife. She is pregnant. Didn't I ask you to buy mosquito coils? It's okay." Li Zhenting refused directly, took out the toothbrush from the bag that Captain Zhang brought over and started brushing his teeth.
Captain Zhang had no choice but to leave.
Inside the room, the big red wooden door was closed tightly and there was no sound.
"Ningning, Ningning." Li Zhenting stood by the window. From the dim light and occasional noises from last night, he determined that this room was Chen Ning's bedroom. "Are you awake? I bought you breakfast and some fresh vegetables and fruits. Can you open the door?"
There was no response from inside.
"Ningning, Ningning, open the door. I know you are resentful. You can scold me or hit me. I just hope you can open your heart and talk to me. I will explain everything to you one by one. But don't keep it in your heart. It's not good for your body and the baby in your belly." Li Zhenting said with concern and affection.
But before he could finish his words, suddenly, the window was pushed open and a basin of cold water poured out from inside, right on Li Zhenting.
In an instant, his face, head and body were all wet, and he had difficulty breathing for a while.
Shen Ning immediately locked the window and went to the kitchen.
Li Zhenting stood for a while, smiled bitterly, and walked towards the pavilion.
He didn't have any extra clothes, so he had to take them off and put them in the pavilion to dry. Fortunately, his pants were not wet.
He felt uncomfortable while eating the fruits sent by Captain Wang.
But he did not give up and continued to wait and look for opportunities to impress Shen Ning.

He waited for three days and three nights.
For three whole days and three nights, Shen Ning didn't open the door. If he hadn't seen the faint light coming from the bedroom at night, he would have really worried that she had left or something had happened to her.
These three days and three nights felt as long as three years. He sat in the pavilion, enduring the sun and the bites of mosquitoes, hoping that she would open the door, listen to his explanation, and give him a chance to repent.
No!
She was cold as iron and showed no mercy.
His heart sank little by little, and he was more worried that she would lock herself in the house and not come out, which would make her sick, and it would not be good for the baby in her belly!
At noon on the fourth day, the sun was very strong and it was so hot that it made us feel hot. The weather was hot and humid, and there was not a trace of wind.
Licheng is a place where it is very hot at noon, but becomes very cold at night.
After staying in the alternating hot and cold environment for several nights, Li Zhenting began to feel dizzy and his head was swollen. He had no energy at all.
