Chen Ningsheng couldn't hold back any longer, and a joyful laugh escaped from his heart as he loosened his teeth: "Hahaha, baby, you're so cute, hahaha..."
Xu Xinchen was so embarrassed by Chen Ningsheng's laughter that she pinched his waist angrily and said, "Stop laughing!"
Xu Xinchen's strength was like a tickle to Chen Ningsheng; it not only failed to stop Chen Ningsheng from laughing, but instead made him laugh even more happily.
"Baby, don't be shy. This is a good thing, what's there to be shy about?"
Xu Xinchen didn't want to linger in front of the police station and play around with Chen Ningsheng, so she stomped on Chen Ningsheng hard, rolled her eyes at him, and then turned and walked away on her own.
Upon seeing this, Chen Ningsheng immediately stopped laughing, touched his nose, and hurriedly chased after him, saying, "Baby, baby, wait for me..."
Once they got into the car, Xu Xinchen was still a little annoyed. Not only did Chen Ningsheng not help her, but he also made fun of her. After Chen Ningsheng closed the door, she reached out and pinched his waist.
Chen Ningsheng was pinched hard this time, but seeing Xu Xinchen's angry expression, he didn't dare to shout. He could only grimace and let Xu Xinchen pinch him to her heart's content.
Seeing Chen Ningsheng clearly in pain but not daring to say it because he was still angry with her, Xu Xinchen was instantly amused. However, before she could smile, she suppressed her laughter and continued to face Chen Ningsheng with a blank expression.
Chen Ningsheng didn't notice the fleeting smile Xu Xinchen had given him earlier, so he assumed she was still angry. Therefore, even when they arrived at her doorstep, he didn't dare to ask her to let him go.
Xu Xinchen finally let go of Chen Ningsheng because she was about to get off the bus, and her hand was getting sore from holding Chen Ningsheng's waist the whole way.
As soon as Chen Ningsheng was free, he immediately reached out to touch the flesh on his waist that Xu Xinchen had pinched the whole way: "Ouch..."
It hurts so much just from touching it. Chen Ningsheng grimaced, the area must be bruised and swollen. But in front of Xu Xinchen, he didn't dare to show anything unusual. Instead, he smiled and moved closer to Xu Xinchen.
"Baby, look, we're home now. It only took about 30 minutes to get from the police station to our house. You've been angry for half an hour, and you even pinched me for half an hour. Can you forgive me for a moment?"
Xu Xinchen felt a pang of guilt after Chen Ningsheng's words. She hadn't let go of his hand because of her pride, and she was also focused on the bonus. She hadn't even realized that she had been pinching Chen Ningsheng for so long.
Upon hearing Chen Ningsheng say that she had pinched him for half an hour, Xu Xinchen's eyes immediately showed a hint of heartache: "Are you stupid? Why didn't you remind me of the time?"
Chen Ningsheng was quite honest this time: "I did something wrong, didn't I? It's good that you pinched me to vent your anger, so that you won't be upset with me when you come back."
Chen Ningsheng knew that he had gone a bit too far at the police station. Xu Xinchen already felt that she was guilty for accepting the money, and he laughed so loudly. No wonder Xu Xinchen was unhappy. So he didn't say anything about her "punishment". Anyway, he thought he could just bear it and it would pass.
Xu Xinchen's eyes reddened from Chen Ningsheng's words. Gritting her teeth, she reached out and dragged Chen Ningsheng towards her home.
"You really are stupid. Can't you see that I stopped being angry with you a long time ago? If you had just said so earlier, I would have let go. Why did you have to suffer for half an hour?"
The two entered the house, and Xu Xinchen reached out to lift Chen Ningsheng's coat, her eyes fixed on his waist. Sure enough, she saw a bruise on the softest part of his side.
Xu Xinchen reached out and touched the bruise with concern: "Does it hurt?"
Chen Ningsheng raised an eyebrow and deliberately showed off his abs: "Baby, look at me, do I look like someone who can't handle a little pain?"
It actually hurt a bit. Although his muscles were quite firm, they couldn't withstand being pinched by one hand for half an hour straight. But looking at Xu Xinchen's expression, he just couldn't bring himself to say the word "pain".
Xu Xinchen could easily tell that Chen Ningsheng was teasing her on purpose, but she also understood that Chen Ningsheng didn't want her to feel guilty. She could only give Chen Ningsheng a coquettish glare: "Take it off quickly, I'll go find some ointment. This bruise is so big, it will definitely hurt a lot tomorrow if it's not treated properly."
Chen Ningsheng smiled as he watched Xu Xinchen's retreating figure. As a grown man, what's wrong with spoiling his woman? Look, now she's feeling sorry for him. How good she is to him!
Xu Xinchen had no idea that Chen Ningsheng was so smug behind her back. She rummaged through the guest room, which was rarely used, and successfully found a first-aid kit, which had been left there by Chen Ningsheng's family doctor.
The medicine box was locked with a padlock, and Xu Xinchen didn't know where the key was. She thought the key was lost, so she searched for it for a long time before finally finding a small key on a hook behind the cabinet, a key that would be easily overlooked if you weren't paying attention.
"Aren't first-aid kits meant for people to use? Why lock them up and hide the key..." Xu Xinchen muttered.
While muttering to himself, he opened the first-aid kit…
"My God! What, what is this thing!" The sight inside the medicine box startled Xu Xinchen so much that she dropped it to the ground.
Chen Ningsheng was sitting on the sofa waiting for Xu Xinchen to bring the ointment, but instead of her coming, he heard a scream and a heavy thud.
Chen Ningsheng was taken aback, thinking something had happened to Xu Xinchen. He jumped up and ran quickly to the bedroom, shouting, "Baby! What's wrong!"
Xu Xinchen was pale. When she saw Chen Ningsheng run in, she pointed to the syringes scattered all over the floor and the bags of pure white powder next to them: "Ning, Ningsheng, what is this...?"
Chen Ningsheng frowned, staring at the things on the ground. After a long while, a look of fury flashed across his face: "Damn it!"
Xu Xinchen was startled by Chen Ningsheng's sudden outburst of anger and looked at him with a worried expression: "W-what's wrong..."
Chen Ningsheng pulled Xu Xinchen close to him, holding her tightly in his arms, patting her back gently to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, it's okay, I'll call the police right away."
