Chapter 158: Signing a Gambling Agreement



Lu Zhengxiang suddenly said this when he was almost done planting the vegetable seedlings.

"So soon? Is this mission so urgent? Um...why don't you stay home for a few more days?"

She paused as she was about to straighten the vegetable seedlings and asked.

Even though they knew that Lu Zhengxiang would ask his superiors for a mission after his return, they had not made plans for him to go on the mission tonight.

"There's a high probability that you'll get a bonus if you go on a mission. Also...if the mission is successful, you'll get promoted faster. I want to...give you and your child better protection..."

Now, Lu Zhengxiang no longer intended to hide anything from her and told her his plan.

"You...you're okay. You need to be safe."

Now that things have come to this, she couldn't say anything. Lu Zhengxiang had already made up his mind and had considered it carefully. It would be unnecessary for her to say anything more.

She couldn't just say, "I have money to support you and the child," which would seem to show some contempt for Lu Zhengxiang.

...

...

Ruan Suhe quickly digested what he had just been told, and the two of them planted the vegetable seedlings in different areas one after another.

I also chose two sunny locations in the yard and planted the fruit tree seedlings.

Then the family of four washed up as usual, and Lu Zhengxiang lay huddled in bed with his two children.

Ruoruo knew that Lu Zhengxiang had to go out on a mission again in the evening, and that she would probably not see her father for many days, so she sat on his lap and pestered him to read picture books for a long time.

Tiedan was in deep thought and didn't say a word the whole time. He just leaned silently on Lu Zhengxiang's shoulder, clutching the corner of Lu Zhengxiang's clothes with one of his little hands, obviously reluctant to leave.

Ruan Suhe did not disturb such a beautiful scene. She sat alone at the table by the window and began to write and draw.

From time to time, he would look up to see the father and his two sons snuggling together.

After an unknown amount of time, Ruoruo and Tiedan fell asleep. Lu Zhengxiang carefully picked up the two children, laid them on the pillows, tucked in the quilt, then got out of bed, put on his shoes, and walked towards her.

"Aren't you going to take a break?"

She thought that this person would take a short nap with the two children to replenish his energy.

"I can't sleep. It's okay. It's the same if I take a nap in the car after we gather."

"...Su He...I'm sorry to trouble you again."

Lu Zhengxiang was not very good at saying sweet words, but after he said this, she felt that his face instantly became "coloured", and the blush at the base of his ears was obvious.

"Why is this so hard? Just think of it as laying a foundation for ourselves and providing our two children with the capital to ensure a good growth environment."

"You said you..."

As Ruan Suhe spoke, she suddenly put down the pen in her hand, leaned forward, and touched his earlobe with her right hand.

"You're already this old, but you're still so shy..."

"Baji!"

A crisp sound was heard, and Ruan Suhe couldn't help but kiss his round earlobe.

"Don't worry, I'll be watching over the house. When you come back, there will always be a light on for you."

Perhaps it was the last sentence that touched his heart. Lu Zhengxiang hugged her tightly without hesitation, as if he wanted to hold her in his heart.

"Wait until I come back."

After hugging her for several seconds, Lu Zhengxiang finally let her go. He looked at her lovingly and said these four words. Then he simply packed his clothes and walked out the door without looking back.

He didn't dare look back. If he stayed for one more second, he felt that he would sink and would be reluctant to leave.

Ruan Suhe only felt his determination to carry out the mission, and complained in his heart, "Isn't this guy born for the mission?"

After Lu Zhengxiang left, she locked the gate, went back to her room and sketched a fashion design before tidying up and resting.

Early the next morning, she quickly packed up breakfast and ate a few bites with the two little ones to fill their empty stomachs.

After seeing them off to the school gate, I walked home with peace of mind, rode my bicycle leisurely, humming a song all the way, and soon arrived at the gate of the cosmetics factory.

"Oh my, I didn't expect Sister Su He could ride a bicycle? That's incredible."

"I wonder if I have the honor of riding on the back of Su He's bicycle today?"

A few minutes after she arrived at the entrance of the cosmetics factory, Zhang Liting and Director Tian got off the bus across the road. The first thing she saw was Ruan Suhe standing on the ground supporting a bicycle.

"Sister Ting, you are really embarrassing me. This is not a fancy jeep. The back seat of my bicycle must belong to Sister Ting today."

She couldn't let her leader's words fall to the ground. Ruan Suhe reacted very quickly, and the double affirmation made Zhang Liting's mood soar countless times.

"No hurry, no hurry, just sign the agreement first."

Director Tian had already written the gambling agreement overnight and checked it many times, fearing that there might be any mistakes.

So, he directly interrupted their communication and urged both parties to check whether there were any problems with the agreement.

Ruan Suhe followed the two men into the factory, pushing the bicycle slowly behind them. What mattered at this moment was the rhythm. It was best to follow behind the leader, but it was not a good time to stand out at this stage.

In the office, Ruan Suhe read the gambling agreement over and over again about five or six times, making sure that the terms were exactly the same as what she had said and that there were no other problems. Then she wrote her name on it with a wave of her hand.

Zhang Liting was very impressed by her careful study of the agreement and her quick signature. She once again felt that she had not chosen the wrong person. She took the agreement and signed her name.

"Sister Ting, our main task today is to select fabrics for making clothes. I'm sorry to bother you to ride with me for a while."

As both parties put pen to paper, the bet agreement was finalized. From now on, the two of them were in the same boat, sharing life and death, honor and disgrace.

"Su He, you are exaggerating a bit. Since you have decided to start a business, you must be prepared to endure hardships. If you want to become a leader, you must endure hardships."

Zhang Liting covered her mouth and smiled, "It seems that I will have the honor to hold Sister Su He's slender waist today." Then she blushed embarrassedly.

Ruan Suhe never thought that she would use this method to divert her false flattery.

"Ahem, Sister Ting is really good at making fun of me. Time is money now. Sister Ting, sit tight. I just learned how to ride a bicycle, so it may not be very stable."

She was also quite embarrassed and waited until Zhang Liting sat firmly on the back seat of the bicycle before she reluctantly got on the bike.

After swaying on the road for a while, she finally managed to balance the bicycle. Fortunately, riding a bicycle was quite fast, so she arrived at the department store in no time.

The two went upstairs and walked straight to the clothing sales area. To Ruan Suhe's surprise, there was a fat, big-bellied, middle-aged man in front of Li Xiaoxue. He was so bald that only his bald spots were left.

"Hey, isn't this Comrade Ruan? Are you two here to pick out the fabrics yourself?"
