When Wang Feifei woke up, it was almost evening. She was mainly woken up by hunger. She touched her side, but Xu Neng was no longer there.
His scent still lingered in the blankets; a closer sniff brought back memories of last night, making one blush...
If I hadn't been so hungry that my stomach was practically sticking to my back, I would have stayed in bed and never gotten up. In my drowsy state, I remembered that he had left some food. When I got out of bed, my whole body ached, and when I looked down, I found that I was covered in red marks.
Even though he was extremely gentle and it was the ultimate pleasure, Wang Feifei still couldn't figure out why she had so many marks on her body.
Suddenly, many fragments of last night flashed through her mind. He kept asking for her name and calling her name over and over again. Wang Feifei felt her face burning and dared not think any further.
She hurriedly put on her clothes and went to the kitchen, where she saw a clay pot on the stove and a bowl of soup next to it.
Curious, I opened the pot lid and found it filled with seafood porridge. I stirred it with a spoon, and there were lots of sweet shrimp and spare ribs hidden in the white porridge. It looked delicious.
Her stomach was growling with hunger, so Wang Feifei quickly put the clay pot on the stove, turned on the fire, and in no time, the porridge was bubbling and steaming, with a fragrant aroma wafting out.
She couldn't wait to ladle out a small bowl, pour on the rich seafood broth, blow on it to cool it down, and then take a big gulp.
The rice porridge was smooth and soft, the sweet shrimp were bouncy and chewy, and the pork ribs were tender and juicy. The food was fresh, fragrant, and delicious, and it warmed my stomach instantly, bringing ultimate satisfaction.
After finishing a bowl, I felt energized all over. When I was exhausted and starving, the warm and delicious porridge brought ultimate comfort to my stomach.
Wang Feifei drank most of the pot in one go, but after she was full, she missed him even more.
I used to live a simple life and be content with myself, but now, looking at the empty room, I inexplicably think of the times when he was here...
...
Back at the base, Xu Neng was still out of sorts. Fortunately, the crisis was resolved in the morning, and Xiao Gao was already investigating, so he had a lot of free time.
I can't help but think of Wang Feifei. Her alluring eyes are captivating and mesmerizing. After having a lavish meal with her, how can I face the bland days without her?
Having tasted the sweetness of love, he found it hard to control himself whenever he thought of Wang Feifei's affectionate appearance...
Xu Neng kept his door closed all day, lost in his longing for Wang Feifei.
Lin Jieyu was also absent-minded all day. Just now, when Commander Xu was getting dressed, she accidentally caught a glimpse of the scratches on his back.
She immediately understood and felt a pang of sadness. Commander Xu had risked going out all night; he must have gone to find her.
What magic does that woman named "Feifei" possess that makes Commander Xu so infatuated?
After he helped Xu Neng out of that predicament, Xu Neng didn't even want to give him a second glance.
His broad arms and the glaring red scars on his back drove Lin Jieyu to the brink of insane jealousy.
She took off her clothes and lay down in the same bed he had just slept in. She felt as if she were enveloped by him, and all she could do was touch herself to ease the pain of longing...
...
By this time, Xiao Gao had already investigated and came to report back to Xu Neng.
Standing beside Xu Neng, he noticed that President Xu seemed quite different today. Not only did his eyes lack sharpness, but he also had a radiant smile and a look of contentment.
She looked radiant; she didn't look like someone who had worked hard all night at all. Tsk tsk tsk... That's why Hu Tianhao believed her so easily...
At this moment, Xu Neng's appearance became even more handsome. Any woman would find it hard to resist such a look, which explains why Lin Jieyu was so infatuated.
Xiao Gao's mind wandered off, and Xu Neng, seeing the boy's absent-minded look, guessed what he was thinking.
His eyes turned cold, and he asked directly:
"Who did you find out?"
Upon being asked this question, Xiao Gao immediately came to his senses: "It might be Chen Nian. He's the only one who disappeared for a period of time before dawn."
Is the news reliable?
"Yes, Cao Gui, who lived with him, discovered it. He went to the toilet in the morning and found that Chen Nian was not there. Later, he came back and asked him where he went. He said he went to the toilet. Cao Gui felt something was wrong and wrote it down."
Fortunately, I had asked Cao Gui to keep an eye on Chen Nian beforehand, and he was careful enough, otherwise we wouldn't have noticed at all.
Xu Neng had a hunch that it was Chen Nian, but hearing it in person still made him uncomfortable, since Chen Nian was someone Wang Feifei cared about, and he was afraid of implicating her.
Seeing Xu Neng hesitate, Xiao Gao continued:
"Mr. Xu, it shouldn't be Chen Nian, right? He wouldn't do something like this. What good would it do him to betray us?"
Chen Nian certainly didn't need to do that in the past, but after what happened last time...
Xu Neng asked Xiao Gao, "You said on the phone yesterday that he suspected you. What did he suspect?"
"He asked me some details about how I found his father, and he seemed suspicious. Could it be that he thinks his father's death is related to us?"
Since Shen Qingshan's death, Xu Neng also felt that Chen Nian had become a different person, gloomy and sensitive. Judging from his questioning, he must have many questions.
Xu Neng rubbed his temples: "It's not impossible, Chen Nian isn't the same person he used to be."
"What should we do then? Should we talk to him and explain things?"
Explain clearly? If we really tell everything, we'll inevitably drag Wang Feifei into it.
Given Chen Nian's current state, if he knew Wang Feifei's whereabouts, Xu Neng worried that Wang Feifei might "invite a wolf into the house" in order to help him.
If he begged Wang Feifei to take him in, would she agree? Xu Neng had no idea...
I'm still worried about keeping him under my nose, but I can't kill him either. I'm really in a dilemma.
After much thought, he decided to have a serious talk with Chen Nian to try and clear up the misunderstanding. If that didn't work, at least he could see what Chen Nian thought.
Soon, Chen Nian was brought in by Xiao Gao. There was no sign of anything unusual on his face; he simply stood respectfully to one side.
