The morning light is warm and the sky is clear. The monsoon from the Indochina Peninsula blows away the layers of thick clouds, bringing warm and humid air and lifting the veil in front of the window.
It was already past ten in the morning when Nanxi woke up. She sat on the bed for a while to adapt to the new environment before she threw off the blanket and got out of bed to wash.
Before this, Baru had finished morning exercises with the soldiers outside, came back to make her warm breakfast, and then went to the military district building to hold a military meeting.
There were not many servants in the main building, only three, all of them locals, and none of them could speak Chinese. After finishing her meal, Nanxi returned to her bedroom, called the security company and the private detective to cancel the cooperation, paid the fees, and curled up on the sofa to turn on the surveillance camera. Only then did she see that the coffee shop was closed today.
She called the store manager, and she came crying and said that Shen Ce had brought people here early in the morning. When she asked where she had gone, the store manager said he didn't know. Shen Ce was so angry that he smashed the store.
Nanxi was so angry that her whole body was shaking, her lips turned white, Shen Ce was a mad dog.
When she left, she was more cautious and looked for her good friend's airline. Shen Ce couldn't find her whereabouts, so he took desperate measures.
After appeasing the store manager and giving the staff a day off, he called Xu Jin and asked him to help find a decoration company, and then called Shen Ce.
"Xixi," came Shen Ce's extremely suppressed voice from the other end, "Where are you? Are you hanging out with that Burmese guy again?"
Nanxi pulled out an extremely indifferent smile from the corner of his mouth, "Chen Ce, who do you think you are, to control me?"
Shen Ce had never heard her speak in such a cold and indifferent tone. He was stunned for two seconds, obviously a little panicked, "Xixi——"
"Yes, you guessed right, I know everything." Her words were extremely calm, yet extremely sharp, "Shen Ce, you and your Shen family are really pitiful and disgusting."
"Xixi~" Shen Ce's tone changed, "Xixi, listen to my explanation. I wanted to tell you, but my mother threatened to die, so I couldn't. Xixi, I really love you, and I can make it up to you..."
"roll--"
After Nanxi finished speaking, she hung up the phone, but her fingers were still trembling.
Whenever I think of that year when I felt like I was living a life worse than death and was threatened and harassed by him every day, the hatred in my heart will take a long time to subside.
She threw away her phone and wanted to take a break. She looked up and saw a tall figure standing at the door. He leaned against the door frame with a wicked smile in his eyes. He just looked at her quietly. She didn't know how long he stood there.
"Ba Xiaolu~"
When Nanxi saw that he was feeling wronged, her anger multiplied. She pouted, opened her arms towards him, and cried.
The man had no choice but to go over and sit on the sofa, letting her nestle in his arms. "What's wrong? Are you not satisfied? Don't worry, baby, I'll go back with you when I'm done with this. That bastard dared to smash your store. I burned down their house and pulled out his tendons."
Others might say this just to get the word out, but Nanxi had no doubt that he really dared to do it.
"I'm already upset enough, can you please stop scaring me? You are not allowed to go to China anymore, or you will have to go back the next day. Just stay here obediently. I will take care of the Shen family's affairs."
"Solve it? How do you solve it? I can scare you to death with just a few words, you little coward." Baru changed his posture, held her on his lap like a child, pinched her nose,
"It's not a big deal, is it worth getting so angry? I'll send someone over to take care of it in a minute. Remember, you have a husband. Is it easier to act like a spoiled child to your husband or to get mad at him? Hmm?"
"If you go there and cause trouble again, the Shen family holds real power, and China is a society ruled by law. You—"
"Okay, okay, I get it. Let's do it the way China does it, okay? I'll call Brother Qian later and have his people go. Brother Qian is the most proficient in your Chinese tricks. When it comes to messing with people, he's really ruthless."
Nanxi was amused by his irresponsible look and asked, "Can you be serious?"
"I've been in a military meeting all morning, which is serious enough. But when I see my wife, I want to do something a little frivolous." His big hand had already reached in through the suspenders.
"Hey, are you annoying so early in the morning? I want to tell you something." Nanxi reached out to push her.
"Go ahead and talk. I'm listening." Even as he spoke, his lips rubbed against the fragrant skin of her neck, and he was reluctant to leave for a moment.
"My father appeared twice, both times when that man named Ang Su was giving a speech. You can look up that Ang Su, you might get something."
"Hey...don't bite...did you hear me?"
"Yes, I'm not deaf."
"Then why don't you respond?" Nanxi was really a little crazy about his clinginess.
"I'm busy." The man said confidently, "Wife, why do you smell so good? You smell good everywhere. Let me smell it..."
The man, burning with desire, didn't care what she said at all. He pressed her down on the sofa and started doing evil things to her.
The two of them finished lunch at two o'clock in the afternoon. Nanxi wanted to go back to sleep, but Baluna tempted her by riding Gao Gao. In the end, Nanxi couldn't resist the temptation, so he put her on his neck and carried her to the pool behind the villa to show off.
"Wife, look, what are these?"
Nanxi's hair stood on end when she saw the pool of crocodiles. "How...how do you keep these things? And you brought Nannan here, aren't you afraid that he'll be eaten by the crocodiles?"
Baru scoffed, "Nannan has legs, can't she run? Besides, she's the 'big princess' of the villa, she always has someone to accompany her wherever she goes."
After he finished speaking, he put the man down and said, "Wife, come and see if I have taken good care of him. This leather is so shiny and smooth."
Nanxi frowned, "No, it's disgusting."
"Don't you like crocodile leather bags? Honey, look at this biggest one. Tomorrow I'll have someone kill one and take it to Italy to make a bag for you.
The skins we brought over earlier are ready and will arrive in a few days. You can take turns carrying them, one a day."
Balu threw two large bowls of red meat into the crocodile pond, turned around and smiled at her foolishly.
Nanxi was stunned for more than ten seconds before she spoke, "You raise these crocodiles just to make bags for me?"
"Yeah, I thought, if I make a bag for you out of a crocodile I raised myself, it's better than buying one from somewhere that's of questionable origin, right?"
Nanxi smiled and said, "Why are you so silly?" But if you look closely, there is a hint of crystal in that smile.
Suddenly, I remembered a teacher who once said to them, "When judging a man, you shouldn't listen to what he says, but rather what he does. If he has 100 points and is willing to give 10 points for you, and if he has 10 points and is willing to give everything for you, it's a completely different concept."
The Baru in front of him was young and lonely, and had always fought for her life just to stay alive. For such a person, the only way he could think of loving her was probably to raise a pond of crocodiles, make her a bag she liked, and carry a basket of flowers to make her happy.
He has always been like this, clumsy and unexpected, rough but trying his best. This is perhaps what makes him most irresistible to her: passionate, sincere, down-to-earth, and upright.
