Around 10 p.m., Jiang Ning was driven back by Ross's driver.
She drove Ross to the hospital's international department, and Wang Meizhu said she would stay and take care of him.
Ross contacted his driver and instructed him to make sure the person was delivered safely.
As soon as she got out of the car, Jiaojiao and Tongtong ran over and jumped into her arms.
"Mom, you're finally back."
"Mom, are you alright?"
Both of them expressed their concern for their mother.
Jiang Ning smiled and shook her head: "I'm fine, why aren't you all asleep yet?"
Lin Chen walked over and tucked a few stray strands of hair behind her ear.
"How could they sleep if you didn't come back? Why are you up so late?"
Jiang Ning put her arms around them and walked into the courtyard.
"We'll discuss the specifics later."
She was tired from her journey and really wanted to take a shower.
At this moment, Wang Xiufen also came out to greet her. Seeing that she was unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's good that you're back."
When Jiang Ning entered the courtyard, she found that everyone was there. Some were watching TV on the sofa, while others were huddled together reading. They were all waiting for her, which was quite touching.
As soon as she returned, everyone chatted with her for a few minutes, then tacitly went to sleep.
Lin Chen told Wang Xiufen and the children to go to sleep, while he went to the kitchen to fetch hot water in buckets to give her a bath.
There was no water heater at home, so during the renovation, a water storage device was installed, and a shower head was added to make a simple water heater.
Every time you take a shower, you just need to add hot water and put it into the storage device, which is similar to a water heater.
Half an hour later, Jiang Ning returned to her room wearing a long-sleeved silk nightgown and drying her hair with a towel.
Lin Chen put down the book, took out a hairdryer from the drawer, and pressed her down by the bed to dry her hair.
He remained silent, his face tense, filled with suppressed worry, wondering what had happened to her, yet hesitant to ask.
His long, slender fingers ran through her hair, creating a slightly alluring atmosphere.
Normally, his fingers would wander aimlessly, but today he did nothing. After drying his hair, he quietly put the hairdryer away.
Jiang Ning went to apply skin lotion, feeling somewhat aggrieved.
She had been out all day, and instead of showing concern, she gave her the cold shoulder.
Hmph, if he doesn't speak, she's too lazy to say anything either.
Suddenly, the room went dark; Lin Chen had turned off the lights.
Jiang Ning was about to get up and scold him when she unexpectedly fell into his firm chest.
Her body was tightly held in his strong arms, and no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't break free, so she simply let him hold her.
His chin rested on her shoulder, and they just hugged each other like that, occasionally rubbing their faces against each other's.
"Ah Chen?" Jiang Ning couldn't see his expression, but guessed that he was still emotional.
Lin Chen hummed in agreement, but didn't loosen his grip.
"Honey, you know how worried I was today. My heart was pounding the moment I put you in the car. Especially those few hours at night, I almost called the police if they hadn't held me back."
Jiang Ning felt a warmth in her heart; it turned out that his emotions stemmed from concern!
Actually, even during the most dangerous moment of her day, she was thinking of him.
She wondered if Lin Chen would be able to deal with those bandits better if he were there.
"I'm back now, don't do this."
She said softly.
As she spoke, she intertwined her fingers with his, pulled him onto the bed, nestled in his arms, and told him about what had happened that day.
It would have been better if I hadn't said anything, but when I heard that the porcelain kiln was almost like a black kiln, I got really angry.
"There are quite a few truck drivers who haul our goods. Tomorrow I'll encourage them to call the police and make sure that ceramics factory is brought down!" Lin Chen's deep eyes were filled with ruthlessness.
Jiang Ning chuckled, "Then thank you, my dear husband. It's just a pity that there are skilled master craftsmen there. Those master craftsmen only focus on their work and don't do such messy things."
"Don't worry about them. With their skills, they can earn a living anywhere."
Lin Chen's hands began to roam over her body.
Jiang Ning knew that the anger in his body had almost dissipated.
"By the way, guess who I saw today?"
Lin Chen felt a urge to share and suddenly remembered to pick up the people the children had seen.
After picking up the children, as he was walking home, he saw a little boy with a slingshot shooting a bird down from a tree.
Jiaojiao and Tongtong were interested and asked him to stop the car and watch.
"That child looks like the boy who fought with Zhuangzhuang last time."
"Hmm, his name seems to be Kun Kun."
The two little ones chattered away as they watched Kun Kun pick up the stunned bird.
The bird had black and white feathers and looked like a small dove.
Kun Kun poked its head with a stick, and it gradually woke up, flapping its wings as if to fly.
The children thought Kun Kun would play with the bird, but to their surprise, he grabbed one of the bird's wings with one hand and pulled hard.
The little bird let out a piercing cry, as if it were being torn apart.
Jiaojiao and Tongtong couldn't bear to witness that scene and buried their faces in Lin Chen's arms.
It was at this moment that Ma Huijuan appeared wearing a mask, snatched the bird away, casually threw it to the ground, dragged Kunkun home, and muttered curses under her breath:
"Those little birds are unhygienic; you're not allowed to play with them anymore."
Although he was wearing a mask, Lin Chen recognized the voice immediately.
Jiang Ning looked surprised upon hearing this.
"Is it really her? I saw her back a while ago and thought she looked just like Ma Huijuan. It seems she went home after running away with her son."
“Now that almost all the educated youth have returned to the city, it’s only natural that she comes back. No one will investigate what happened before.”
Lin Chen said.
In fact, Ma Huijuan's life story is quite complicated.
She was disliked by Lin Tao and imprisoned by Shuanzi.
However, she did give birth to a child after all.
"Do you think this child is Lin Tao's or Shuanzi's? If it's Shuanzi's, wouldn't he come looking for him?" Jiang Ning suddenly became very curious.
At the time, when Ma Huijuan gave birth, they didn't know the specifics. They all said it was a stillbirth, but Kunkun looked to be about four years old. Could it be that she got pregnant again soon after she disappeared?
They're practically unkillable cockroaches.
Lin Chen patted her head, his expression full of affection:
"Who cares? Even if Shuanzi knows Ma Huijuan is in the capital, he probably wouldn't dare to come. After all, he's from the countryside, and he's still full of fear of the city."
He's now emotionally charged and all he wants to do is pamper her.
Jiang Ning's body gradually responded, she climbed up his neck, and their lips and tongues intertwined.
Her porcelain-white skin flushed crimson with lovemaking, showering her with kisses as her body trembled uncontrollably.
By the time the tide receded, it was already late at night.
The two slept soundly through the night.
When I woke up the next day, I received a call from the police to inquire about what had happened the day before.
The call wasn't made by the local police station where the ceramics factory was located, but by the municipal bureau.
