After packing her things, Xu Xinchen quickly checked them to make sure they were all securely locked in the cabinet and wouldn't be able to be tampered with by Lin Lina. Only then did she feel relieved enough to carry her bag downstairs.
Xu Xinchen had just reached the gate when she saw Chen Ningsheng. He was standing with his arms crossed, calmly talking to the gatekeeper, as if he had come out specifically to wait for her.
Xu Xinchen felt a surge of sweetness in her heart and quickly ran to Chen Ningsheng's side, reaching out to hug his arm: "Ningsheng, why did you come out?"
Chen Ningsheng was engrossed in talking to the gatekeeper when he suddenly heard a series of soft footsteps. He smiled inwardly, but pretended not to notice anything.
He continued talking to the gatekeeper until Xu Xinchen rushed up and hugged his arm. Only then did he turn around and affectionately pat Xu Xinchen's hair: "I came out here to pick you up, and also to check on your workplace."
Then, Chen Ningsheng turned to the gatekeeper and introduced her, "Sir, this is my girlfriend."
The gatekeeper, upon seeing that the young man he had been chatting with so well was actually talking about Xu Xinchen's girlfriend, smiled so broadly that his eyes narrowed.
The gatekeeper reached out and touched the slightly graying beard on his chin, and said to Xu Xinchen and Chen Ningsheng with a smile, "Well, you two are both good kids, and you look very well-matched."
Xu Xinchen always greets the security guard when she enters or leaves the gate, which gives the guard a very good impression of her. When the guard sees that Xu Xinchen is the girlfriend Chen Ningsheng mentioned, he is genuinely happy for them.
Xu Xinchen and Chen Ningsheng exchanged a glance after hearing the gatekeeper's words about how well-matched they were. Their eyes were filled with smiles.
After thanking the security guard, Xu Xinchen took Chen Ningsheng's arm and walked outside with him. Neither of them noticed that Lin Lina was standing not far behind them, staring at them with extremely resentful, snake-like eyes.
Once they were in the car, Xu Xinchen immediately relaxed, put her bag in the corner, leaned against Chen Ningsheng, closed her eyes, and said to Chen Ningsheng, "Ningsheng, I'm going to sleep for a while. Wake me up when we get home."
After resting for several days, Xu Xinchen returned to the company. Today, she spent a lot of energy just trying to readjust to those tedious tasks, and she is now exhausted.
Chen Ningsheng smiled and ruffled Xu Xinchen's hair, placing his fingers on Xu Xinchen's temples and gently massaging them: "I know, you should rest first, I'll tell you when we arrive."
Xu Xinchen nodded, her hair brushing against Chen Ningsheng's thigh. Chen Ningsheng's throat moved, and the next second, he took off his suit jacket and draped it over Xu Xinchen's shoulders.
Although Xu Xinchen was very tired, she couldn't get any sleep for long. The car had only driven a short distance when Chen Ningsheng's phone suddenly rang.
The loud ringing made Xu Xinchen rub her eyes and climb off Chen Ningsheng, her eyes still blurry as she stared at him.
Looking at Xu Xinchen's appearance, Chen Ningsheng's throat bobbed again. He had to suppress his urge to pull Xu Xinchen into his arms and kiss her hard.
"Why aren't you answering the phone?" Xu Xinchen looked at Chen Ningsheng in confusion, not understanding why Chen Ningsheng let the phone ring on the other end without answering it.
When Xu Xinchen asked him that question, Chen Ningsheng realized that his phone was still ringing and waiting for him to answer it.
With a hint of displeasure at having their cozy atmosphere interrupted, Chen Ningsheng reached out and answered his phone, his tone sounding somewhat cold: "Hello."
The person on the other end of the phone was someone Chen Ningsheng never expected. Only after hearing that person's voice did Chen Ningsheng's expression finally relax a little.
He turned to look at Xu Xinchen, then reached out and hooked his hand around Xu Xinchen's slender fingers: "Is that so? Okay, I understand. I'll take her there now."
After Chen Ningsheng hung up the phone, Xu Xinchen asked curiously, "What happened? Who called? Where are you taking me?"
Xu Xinchen had no doubt that the "she" Chen Ningsheng mentioned was someone else, not to mention that she was the only one with Chen Ningsheng at the moment.
Just now, when Chen Ningsheng was on the phone, he glanced at her several times. Xu Xinchen could already guess that the person who called Chen Ningsheng was mainly looking for her, not Chen Ningsheng.
I wonder who would specifically look for her in this unfamiliar place.
Chen Ningsheng smiled and ruffled Xu Xinchen's hair, saying to her, "It's Uncle Zhao. He told me that there are some things over there that you need to confirm."
Upon hearing that the caller was Zhao Jianguo, Xu Xinchen's mood immediately soured.
It wasn't directed at Zhao Jianguo, but rather at the matter of Zhao Jianguo seeking her out.
It's obvious why Zhao Jianguo suddenly contacted her at this time. Xu Xinchen sullenly hugged herself and hid to the side, her face full of displeasure.
Chen Ningsheng noticed that Xu Xinchen was in a bad mood. He followed Xu Xinchen's movements, moved closer to her, and put his arm around her shoulder.
"Alright, don't be upset. Try to think positively. Uncle Zhao asked you to come over to confirm those things. Once they're confirmed, those people will be punished. That's a good thing, isn't it?"
Xu Xinchen nodded sullenly, her voice slightly hoarse: "I know this is a good thing, but I don't want to face them."
The thought of almost dying at the hands of those people made Xu Xinchen tremble uncontrollably. If she could, she wished she could immediately put the whole thing out of her mind.
Anyway, these bastards have all been arrested. To avoid having nightmares tonight, it's best if we just forget about each other from now on.
Chen Ningsheng understood what Xu Xinchen was thinking. He put his arm around Xu Xinchen's shoulder with heartache, reached out and touched Xu Xinchen's hair, and said to comfort her, "This is the only time. This is the last time. You will never see them again."
