After driving for fourteen hours straight, and making a point of avoiding all sorts of mutated creatures, the group finally arrived at a small village not far from Beijing.
Looking at Beijing, which was now so close, Jiang Nian'an was filled with emotion.
The last regret of my previous life is finally about to be fulfilled, and everything will be perfect.
Shen Nanxing parked the car by the roadside and, looking tired, raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose.
Jiang Nian'an looked distressed and leaned over to gently massage his temples.
During those fourteen hours, Shen Nanxing only asked her to help him switch shifts for three hours.
She originally wanted the Luo family's bodyguards to help with the rotation, but Shen Nanxing felt that they weren't as vigilant as he was.
After massaging for five minutes, Shen Nanxing grabbed Jiang Nian'an's hand, kissed it lightly, and buried his face in her arms, taking a deep breath.
Then, like a thousand-year-old fox that has absorbed all its essence, it became radiant.
"Shen Nanxing!"
Luo Yi walked to the car and knocked on the window. "We're getting ready to go back. What about you?"
I didn't feel homesick until I got to my doorstep.
But when I got to my doorstep, I realized that my longing for home was overflowing like a tidal wave.
"You guys go back first, An'an and I still have some things to talk about."
Shen Nanxing lowered the car window and said something to Luo Yi.
"Alright!"
Thinking of Shen Nanxing's family, Luo Yi's mind immediately went astray. He clicked his tongue, glanced at Jiang Nian'an with some sympathy, and turned to leave.
Why should he pity me?
Jiang Nian'an stared at Luo Yi's departing figure, completely bewildered.
Shen Nanxing chuckled, "You probably think you're going to be troubled by my family."
"Hmm~"
Jiang Nian'an leaned against Shen Nanxing, yawning, and said lazily, "Looks like your grandpa and your parents really aren't easy to get along with~"
Hearing this, Shen Nanxing's heart tightened, and his palms instantly became sweaty.
"An'an, I won't let you suffer any injustice."
Shen Nanxing turned to the side, gently cupped her face in his hands, and reiterated his assurance.
"I know."
Jiang Nian'an smiled wryly, "Besides, do you think I'm the kind of person who would let myself be wronged?"
Shen Nanxing didn't say anything, but grabbed her arm and pulled her into his arms, resting his chin on her neck.
The arm that landed on her waist was very strong. After a long while, Jiang Nian'an heard the man's somewhat muffled voice.
"Then it's a promise, no matter what happens, you can't leave me."
The closer he got to Beijing, the more nervous he became.
He wasn't afraid he couldn't protect An'an, but rather that she would find it troublesome and leave.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Jiang Nian'an patted his broad back lightly, a smile appearing in her eyes.
Meanwhile, she became increasingly curious about Shen Nanxing's family.
What kind of difficult situation must it be for Brother Shen, who is usually calm, mature, and composed, to be so nervous?
Shen Nanxing gently nuzzled against her neck, his voice hoarse and aggrieved, "I'm just scared. You hate trouble the most."
"Alright, alright, even if I leave, I will definitely take you with me."
I just don't know if Second Young Master Shen will be willing to abandon the Shen family and come with me then.
"Of course I'll go with it!"
Shen Nanxing answered decisively, "Wherever you go, I'll go. It's just the Shen family..."
He tightened his grip on Jiang Nian'an, as if trying to embed her entirely into his embrace.
"Sister, brother-in-law, where are you going?"
Because he was so bored that he kept sleeping, Xiao Longzhan heard the word "leave" and his ears twitched slightly. He tried to open his eyes and mumbled a question to the two of them.
"We're getting ready to go to the Shen family's house."
Jiang Nian'an left Shen Nanxing's embrace, turned around and reached out her hand to Xiao Longzhan, who was not fully awake and looked bewildered.
Xiao Longzhan nestled into her arms and sat obediently.
A few minutes later, he looked up at Shen Nanxing, who showed no sign of moving, and scratched his head. "Weren't we going to the Shen family? Why aren't we leaving yet?"
Jiang Nian'an smiled and glanced at Shen Nanxing, then whispered a few words in Xiao Longzhan's ear.
Xiao Longzhan's eyes widened as Jiang Nian'an spoke.
A moment later, he slapped Shen Nanxing's strong arm, his face unusually serious, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will never try to persuade my sister to leave you."
Before leaving, I'll have to empty my brother-in-law's savings account.
Large gold bracelets, large gold beads, jade bracelets, gemstone necklaces...
I'm here!
A gleam flashed in Xiao Longzhan's eyes, and he smiled innocently.
"Thank you so much, brother-in-law!"
Shen Nanxing rubbed his forehead, took a deep breath, started the car, and drove towards Beijing under the blazing midday sun of late autumn.
This silly boy, does he really think he can't see through his little scheme?
