Chapter 725 Meeting
The courtyard was exceptionally quiet, with only the crisp and melodious chirping of cicadas.
The bright moonlight served as a backdrop for her stunning face, adding a touch of coolness to Ye Rou's brows, making her features picturesque and her skin whiter than snow. As she walked, her skirt swayed, and she looked naturally charming.
The mute woman thought, with such a beauty, it was no wonder that Young Master Jiang was watching her so closely.
Liu Yutang was already eating. Seeing Ye Rou coming in, he hurriedly greeted her, "Xiao Rou, come and have the crucian carp and tofu soup that Ma Po made. It's delicious."
Ye Rou sat down on the chair, picked up the white porcelain spoon and stirred it, but never drank it.
Seeing this, Liu Yutang asked, "What's wrong? Did that brat say something about you?"
Ye Rou shook her head and suddenly looked outside the courtyard wall: "Master, do you think he will come back?"
Liu Yutang waved his hand: "Impossible, going back and forth like this, don't you find it troublesome?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Rou stood up, frowning: "What if he comes back?"
Ye Rou turned and strode out, her steps hurried. Liu Yutang was worried and warned her, "It's getting dark, don't go too far!"
"Okay!" Ye Rou held her slightly protruding belly and ran out of the door. There was no one outside the vermilion gate.
She stood on the steps, unable to tell whether she was relieved or disappointed.
The mute woman behind him whispered, "Go back. The soup won't taste good if it gets cold."
Ye Rou said in a low voice: "Okay."
As she was about to step over the stairs, she suddenly stopped and asked, "Is there a telephone booth on the corner?"
Mute woman: “Yes.”
"I'll go and take a look." Shoujue told her that Jiang Chen might be there.
Once this thought came to mind, it spread like wildfire and could not be suppressed no matter what.
——
No one expected that Ye Rou would appear suddenly.
Wang Honghong caught a glimpse of her sister-in-law and was so surprised that she stammered, "Sister-in-law, why did you come out?"
Cheng Gang looked at Wang Honghong with a look, covered her mouth, and dragged her away.
Ye Rou looked at the familiar figure, her pupils slightly constricted, her throat tightened, and she asked with certainty, "Jiang Chen, is that you?"
The man turned around, and in the moonlight, his handsome and gloomy face looked a little haggard.
Ye Rou was stunned. She never expected Jiang Chen to come back.
Her voice was hoarse, her throat so tight that it was difficult for her to speak: "Just because I didn't answer a phone call, you..."
She choked up and became speechless. Anger, heartache and other complex emotions surged into her heart, making her nose sore and her eyes red in an instant.
Jiang Chen couldn't bear to see her cry, so he strode towards her, opened his arms and hugged her tightly, burying his head in Ye Rou's shoulder: "I'm sorry, I scared you."
Ye Rou couldn't hold it back any longer, tears streaming down her face, her voice choked with sobs: "Jiang Chen, what should I do with you?"
Jiang Chen felt a pang of pain when he heard her cry. He clumsily wiped away her tears with his calloused hands: "Don't cry, it's my fault."
Ye Rou's nose became even more sour: "You always say this, and you never change."
Jiang Chen hugged the person and said, "I'm sorry."
Ye Rou's eyes were blurred with tears as she looked at the man through the thin mist. After not seeing him for a day, Jiang Chen looked much more haggard.
Thinking that he came back just to make sure she was safe, she felt angry and distressed: "Since you are so worried, take me to Jin City with you."
"No." Jiang Chen's eyes were frighteningly deep and he rejected it extremely quickly.
The situation in Jin City is complicated, and he will never allow Ye Rou to take risks.
Ye Rou's eyes flushed red. "You don't take me with you, but you're worried about me, Jiang Chen. Sooner or later, you'll get yourself into trouble."
She cried so aggrievedly that her mouth shrank like a duck's.
Jiang Chen lowered his eyes to look at her and thought she was so cute.
She's cute when she cries, and even cuter when she feels sorry for him...
His voice was hoarse: "How did you know I was back?"
Ye Rou raised her hand to wipe away her tears and said pitifully, "I don't know you yet. You won't be at ease until you confirm with your own eyes that I'm safe."
Jiang Chen's eyes deepened, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he praised: "You are so smart."
Ye Rou heard his tone was strange and didn't sound like a compliment. She looked up and wanted to glare at him, but she didn't know that the man was waiting for this opportunity.
"Kiss."
It's not a discussion, it's a notification.
Without waiting for Ye Rou to refuse, the kiss came down.
Jiang Chen hugged Ye Rou extremely tightly, wishing that she could merge into his bones and blood. Ye Rou climbed onto his neck and indulged him once again.
The tall man with broad shoulders completely blocked the view of the woman in his arms.
It's too far away to see anything clearly.
Wang Honghong hid behind the car and looked around.
Cheng Gang's legs were numb from squatting so much that he simply sat down on the ground: "What's going on? Did Ye Rou scold Jiang Chen?"
Wang Honghong stuck her butt out and said uncertainly, "It seems she didn't curse."
"You're not even scolding him for this?" Cheng Gang asked in disbelief, "Is Ye Rou a little too indulgent towards him?"
Just because he didn't answer a phone call, he jumped off the train and drove more than 300 kilometers back. What kind of behavior is this?
A pure lunatic.
If he were a woman, he would definitely feel suffocated and even running would be too slow. I wonder how Ye Rou could bear it.
Meng Guan and the others were bored, so they leaned back in their chairs and said as if it was normal:
"That's normal. My sister-in-law is the dominant one in this relationship. She knows this very well..."
He paused here.
Gao Ming, who was sitting in the passenger seat, curiously asked, "What do you want to know?"
Meng Guan shrugged and continued, "Knowing that Brother Jiang would never hurt her, she's naturally not afraid."
Cheng Gang curled his lips, clearly disagreeing with this statement: "She's not afraid only because Jiang Chen can't beat her."
"That's also my sister-in-law's ability." Wang Honghong was tired of looking at it with her butt sticking out. She squatted down, took out a cigarette from her pocket and lit it. She looked at the bright moon with gray circles in her eyes and said with some envy:
"I didn't expect that Brother Jiang would be the first one among us to find a wife. It's so nice to have a wife."
Gao Ming was also a bachelor, his family was poor and he couldn't afford to marry a wife, so he had never thought of this and objected:
"It's not good at all. For someone like Jiang, even if he goes far away and still thinks about it, what future can he have?"
"Okay, you said Brother Jiang is useless!"
Wang Honghong seized on his words and said maliciously, "I'll complain to Brother Jiang in a minute!"
"It was a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue." Gao Ming begged for mercy: "Brother Wang, please be merciful."
Although Gao Ming worked with Jiang Chen, he was still afraid of him. The longer they got along, the more afraid he became. Naturally, he was afraid that Wang Honghong would tell tales against him.
Wang Honghong said in a sly voice, "You're dead, you big fool."
An empty cigarette box flew out of nowhere and hit her head. Wang Honghong grabbed the box and said angrily, "Men Guan, why did you hit me?"
"What are you doing? It's all your fault." Meng Guan glared at him. "What did Brother Jiang tell you before he left? He told you to look after your sister-in-law and reply on time."
"If you hadn't replied in time, would I have made such a long trip?"
Cheng Gang and Gao Ming nodded at the same time, "Yes, it's all your fault."
"How can you blame me for this?"
Wang Honghong protested:
"Even if I tell you that my sister-in-law is fine, Brother Jiang won't be reassured. This is about my sister-in-law, and he must confirm it with his own eyes. No matter how far you run, you must come back."
"Just be thankful. We've only been on the road for a day. If we'd made it all the way to Jinshi and back, that would have been a real hassle! You'll have me to thank for it."
"You kid!" Cheng Gang rolled up his sleeves and was about to teach him a lesson.
Just as she was about to take action, she caught a glimpse of Jiang Chen holding Ye Rou's hand and walking towards her.
Cheng Gang's eyes lit up: "Are you done? Can we leave now?"
Ye Rou's lips were particularly red from being sucked, and she said apologetically, "I'm sorry for all the trouble you've taken."
Cheng Gang waved his hands quickly: "It has nothing to do with you. To be honest, if I hadn't asked Jiang Chen to help investigate, this wouldn't have happened. After all, you're still pregnant."
Ye Rou subconsciously touched her belly, and felt the gaze of the person next to her. She turned her head and saw the man's eyebrows were furrowed. She knew that he was worried again, and hurriedly said:
"You've already passed the three-month dangerous period. As long as you're careful, you'll be fine."
"Besides, I'm a doctor myself, and I have my master here, so what can go wrong?"
Jiang Chen's brows were still furrowed as he ruffled her hair and warned her, "Don't go to dangerous places. Go home after class. Don't talk to any weird people, and don't let Fugui Aotian get close to you."
Jiang Chen repeated these words over and over again, and Ye Rou's ears were almost callused from listening to them.
"Okay, okay, I've remembered everything." Ye Rou shook his hand: "Do we have to leave tonight?"
Her eyes were full of joy and her face showed reluctance.
Jiang Chen hummed, rubbing her cheek with his thumb: "Finish it soon and come back to accompany you soon."
Cheng Gang was afraid that Jiang Chen would change his mind, so he quickly asked everyone to get in the car.
Ye Rou warned through the car window: "You should also pay attention to safety, don't get hurt, and come back safely."
Cheng Gang repeatedly assured Jiang Chen that he would not let him get hurt, then he started the car and set off again.
Ye Rou watched the car leave.
The mute woman was waiting not far away. When she saw the car driving away, she came up and said, "Miss Ye, it's late. Let's go back."
"Okay." Ye Rou nodded in agreement, then took two steps and suddenly stopped. "I feel like I've forgotten something."
But he couldn't remember it anymore, so he simply gave up thinking about it: "Let's go back."
Wang Honghong, who was pushed into the car by Meng Guan and Gao Ming, said: "..."
"I'm not going to Jinshi, why did you push me into the car?"
As soon as he spoke, everyone in the car noticed that he was there.
Cheng Gang braked suddenly: "Get off quickly."
Wang Honghong glanced outside. There was no village in front of her or a shop behind her. It was pitch dark. She protested, "I won't get off. What kind of place is this? Please take me back."
"You are a police officer, you are responsible for the safety of people's lives and property!"
Cheng Gang sneered.
After a moment, the car drove away.
Wang Honghong crossed her arms and walked back cursing. The more she thought about it, the more depressed she became. She raised her head and cursed:
"I'm really unlucky today!"
"Who's howling outside at this hour of night?"
"Can't you let me sleep?"
Wang Honghong was afraid of being beaten up, so she ran away in shame.
