It was two months later when Chen Yao officially returned to work.
In fact, her body had already recovered under the careful care of the system and Xu Zhi, but the organization still insisted on giving her several months of sick leave.
During the time she was resting at home, she also learned some new skills and knowledge, since she had nothing to do anyway.
Usually during the day, she would spend half the day in the study reading and studying by herself. At night, after Xu Zhi got off work, they would basically stay together, sticky and affectionate, and almost inseparable.
Now that she has returned to her normal working state, she and Xu Zhi go to work together during the day, basically stay together during work, and then go home together after get off work.
Sometimes when they get off work early, they will go to the cemetery to see Xu Sheng, and tell him some interesting things that happened recently in the afterglow of the sunset.
Once, after leaving the cemetery, on the way home, when they were almost home, Xu Zhi suddenly asked Chen Yao: "By the way, your parents..."
As soon as he said that, he suddenly remembered that Chen Yao had said a long time ago that she grew up in an orphanage before she revealed her true identity in front of him.
If that's the case, then she probably doesn't know who her parents are and has never met them, right?
What about what he was about to say about visiting her parents when he has time...
Forget it, he should just take back what he said, so that she wouldn't think of something sad and affect her mood.
The car stopped in the yard. Chen Yao unbuckled her seatbelt and said without even looking up, "My parents? They're all overseas. They're usually very busy and don't come back very often."
Xu Zhi was stunned for a moment, feeling complicated.
So...how many stories had she made up in order to hide her true identity in front of him?
He took every single one of them seriously.
After getting off the car, Chen Yao continued to tell him about her parents' situation: "They divorced a long time ago, and now they have each reorganized their families abroad. When I was in college, they each gave me a large sum of money, and we haven't been in touch since then."
Moreover, they rarely replied when she sent them messages. It was obvious that they didn't want to be disturbed because they had a new family.
That huge sum of money was enough for her to live well on her own. Perhaps they had already planned something before.
Xu Zhi felt a pang of heartache when he heard this. He held her hand tightly and walked into the house, saying, "From now on, I will spend every day with you."
He also thought about the shock and disbelief he felt when he found out that she was Zhou Cheng's subordinate, and his desire to catch her himself, keep her by his side, and let her take off her mask and be honest with him.
Now, everything in the past is no longer important, and the present is all that matters.
…
Time moves forward day by day.
Soon after, it was Chen Yao's first long holiday since returning to work.
She and Xu Zhi planned to sleep in at home for a day, and then drive out for a few days of self-driving tour.
The aunt at home has gone back to her hometown for vacation, and now there are only two of them left at home.
They came back after having dinner outside, so they didn't have to do anything when they got home. They just washed up and changed into their home clothes, then lay on the sofa and watched a movie together leisurely.
However, when they were only halfway through the movie, the atmosphere was so favorable that they kissed each other naturally.
Not long after, there was the sound of Xu Zhi carrying someone back to the bedroom.
Anyway…
Three days and three nights later——
They hurriedly picked up the luggage they had packed earlier, seized the remaining vacation time, and happily went out for a road trip.
