After the previous battle, the forest path was now quiet.
As Shen Nanxing drove through it, all the mutated creatures hid.
Less than twenty minutes later, they left the forest road and turned back onto the highway.
Shen Nanxing glanced at the time.
It was already 3 p.m.
"An'an, we won't rest in between, we'll go straight to Shanshi, we should arrive around 10 p.m.
"good!"
Jiang Nian'an nodded, offering no objection.
Meanwhile, Long Zhan inside the space was overjoyed, excitedly running around the lake.
"Yay, in six hours I can go out!"
"Not tonight, wait until tomorrow morning."
Jiang Nian'an's words were like a bucket of cold water, causing Long Zhan to fall to the ground with a thud.
He looked up, looking dejected. "Why?"
"Because I need to inquire about you at the Shanshi base first."
Jiang Nian'an stared at Long Zhan's fair and delicate face.
She overlooked one thing: Long Zhan, who had lived a life of wandering alone and suffered a lot, could not possibly have such a fair and delicate face.
Jiang Nian'an frowned as she thought of this.
Indeed, one should not lie.
For every lie told, more lies are needed to cover it up.
And this is only about Long Zhan.
She also had her biggest lie, which was about space.
With the meat stored in the refrigerator almost gone, what excuse will she use to replenish it?
Jiang Nian'an couldn't help but rub her temples.
She even had a fleeting, self-destructive thought: why not just tell Shen Nanxing the truth?
That way, I won't have to lie anymore.
But......
Whether it's the resources in the space, the land where everything can grow, or the lakes with clean water sources, they are all things that can drive people crazy.
And then there's her rebirth.
Would Shen Nanxing believe such an absurd thing?
Would people think she's a monster?
A look of confusion and inner turmoil flashed across Jiang Nian'an's eyes.
Even though Shen Nanxing would risk his life to protect her, she dared not gamble on these two matters.
But the consequence of not telling him is that she has to keep lying to him.
But if you tell too many lies, they will eventually be exposed.
How would she face Shen Nanxing then...?
In particular, her trip to Shanshi was entirely constructed from her lies.
He entrusted his amnesiac elder brother to Yunhua and the other man, and personally accompanied her on a detour to Shanshi to resolve the issue she had fabricated with truths and lies, a matter that could actually be addressed later...
If anything happens to Yunhua and the others on their way to Beijing, it will be her direct cause—
Jiang Nian'an closed her eyes in a panic, feeling somewhat helpless.
"What's wrong? Was I driving too fast and made you uncomfortable?"
Seeing that Jiang Nian'an looked unwell, Shen Nanxing subconsciously slowed down the car.
"no."
Hearing Shen Nanxing's concerned voice, Jiang Nian'an shook her head, biting her lip lightly, feeling both distressed and flustered.
"An'an, what's wrong?"
Shen Nanxing pulled the car over to the side of the road, unbuckled his seatbelt, and got out of the car to the passenger side.
After opening the car door, Shen Nanxing half-squatted down in front of Jiang Nian'an and reached out to pull down her hands that were tightly gripping the seat belt. Only then did he realize that both of her hands were extremely cold.
Why are your hands so cold?
He quickly unbuttoned his coat and placed Jiang Nian'an's hand on his chest to warm it.
Looking into her eyes, which were full of worry, he asked, "An'an, are you feeling unwell, or have you thought of something scary?"
Before Jiang Nian'an could answer, he asked with a worried look, "Are you afraid something will happen to the child?"
"I......"
Jiang Nian'an pursed her lips, unsure how to begin.
In Shen Nanxing's eyes, this expression was an admission of his earlier question.
"Don't worry, with An'an thinking of him, he'll definitely stay somewhere in Shanshi waiting for you."
Tonight we'll head straight to the Shanshi base, then go to their mission point and use the supplies to launch a missing person search mission.
We'll definitely find him soon.
Shen Nanxing looked up at Jiang Nian'an with a doting expression.
"There's no need to worry about not having enough supplies. We only need to keep enough food to eat when we get back to Beijing. We can use the rest to issue missions."
"Once we get back to Beijing, I guarantee we'll have more food and supplies than we can eat."
The six families have always been mindful of potential dangers even in times of peace.
Whether it's gold as a store of value or various survival supplies to deal with emergencies, there have always been large reserves.
Gold and other jewelry were only taken in and not given out.
Every six months, the old survival supplies are sold off and new ones are purchased to update the supplies.
Therefore, he was absolutely confident that he could raise his son An'an to be healthy and plump.
"Brother Chen..."
Jiang Nian'an pouted, pulled her hand away from his chest, and bent down to throw herself into his arms.
Her voice choked with emotion, "If one day you find out I've lied to you about so many things..."
Shen Nanxing was taken aback, then chuckled softly.
"Huh? What did An'an lie to me about? Was it my lust, my money, or my life?"
He sat down on the ground and then hugged Jiang Nian'an tightly in his arms like he was holding a child, his expression gentle.
"Wealth, sex, and even life—I don't need An'an to lie to me; I'll give them all willingly."
"That's not it..."
Jiang Nian'an sniffed and nestled in his arms, muttering something.
"Hmm? If it's not these, then what is it?"
Is there something more important to me than my life?
Shen Nanxing gently patted her, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes, and then leaned down to kiss her forehead.
"Oh no, neither of those!"
Jiang Nian'an couldn't help but lightly pinch his waist.
"Silly An'an, I'll lie to you about anything, okay? As long as you don't leave me, okay?"
"You are powerful, have a strong family background, and are not short of resources. You are definitely a big shot and a tycoon."
"I'm not going to let such a thick thigh go!"
Jiang Nian'an muttered softly.
She was afraid that once he discovered she was a liar, he would leave first.
"Hahaha!"
Hearing her muttering, Shen Nanxing couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Okay, then An'an needs to be held tight."
Not only my thighs, but my whole body was hugged by An'an. An'an belongs to me, and An'an is mine too!
After he finished speaking, he tightened his grip on Jiang Nian'an's arms even more.
He is strong, but An An is not weak either. She also has the Great King, Little Silver, and a perverted Little Purple by her side.
As for supplies...
An'an can stimulate seeds to bear fruit and also has its own storage space.
Putting everything else aside, those six families alone would absolutely be willing to exchange all sorts of supplies for the fresh vegetables and fruits in An'an's hands.
They treated her as an honored guest.
So, compared to his powerful backer, An'an is the real hidden powerhouse.
He had to hold her tightly, love her, and pamper her.
