Chapter 159 A Contract, a Pair of Mandarin Ducks
Nan Chengcheng smiled, hooked her arms around his neck, and nodded repeatedly. Suddenly, as if remembering something, she said, "Oh, right, stop arguing. I have to go. The custom-made plaque will be delivered later."
I need to see if it works, and if it doesn't work, I'll ask Master to revise it."
A dark light flashed in Zhan Hengyi's eyes, "Okay, I'll take you to the boat."
When the two arrived at the river, Nan Chengcheng found that the boat they came in by was gone.
"Eh? Su Manman and Hao Xiao aren't going to leave me here and go off on their own, are they?" Nan Chengcheng looked into the distance, but there was no sign of a boat. "Will there be another boat coming soon?"
Zhan Hengyi said, "After I bought this place, the villagers took the compensation and settled down in Jiangcheng. They won't come here anymore, and the fishing boats won't come here either.
Only in the morning would the Green Gang's boat come over.
You’ll have to stay here tonight.”
After saying that, Zhan Hengyi turned around and strode towards the villa.
Nan Chengcheng chased after him, "What time is it?"
"It's a little after four o'clock. Let's eat first. The kitchen here hasn't been renovated yet, so we can only grill some food over charcoal fire tonight." Zhan Hengyi came to the courtyard of the villa, rolled up his sleeves, started to light the fire, and set up the barbecue grill.
He caught two fish by the river, dug some sweet potatoes from the vegetable garden, cleaned them, and grilled them on the grill.
Nan Chengcheng was warming herself by the fire while staring at the man busying around her. He looked very serious, and he definitely didn't want her to stay here on purpose. Did he have any intentions towards her?
Of course not, she is the impure one between the two of them!
Nan Chengcheng curled her lips and looked at the beautiful night scene around her. She felt that life was particularly comfortable. In such a war-torn era, this place really seemed like a paradise.
Zhan Hengyi was responsible for grilling and she was responsible for eating, and the two seemed to have endless topics to talk about.
"Jing Junzhuo has not been found yet. Even with the port's strict security, he still hasn't been discovered. I suspect there's a powerful mastermind protecting him."
"Did Mo Bingbing identify him?"
Zhan Hengyi shook his head, "Yu Lingling would never mention Jing Junzhuo, and as for Mo Bingbing, I still haven't asked her about it. Besides, I don't want to have too much communication with her anymore.
Mo Bingbing said that it was Yu Lingling who asked her to steal the ancestor's jade finger bone, and she and Jing Junzhuo had no connection.
"It's like Lingling's backer has fallen. Maybe I can see something from her. But now she has the protection of their Xuanmen ancestor. I can't figure out anything."
"I have another idea." Zhan Hengyi wrapped the baked sweet potato in paper and handed it to Nan Chengcheng, "Be careful, it's hot."
…
After dinner, he sent her to the bedroom on the second floor of the villa. "I'm right next door. Call me if you want. There are pajamas in the closet. Go to bed early and get up early. We can go to bed together."
Nan Chengcheng suppressed the disappointment in her eyes and said, "Okay."
She took a comfortable bath and found that the entire bedroom was decorated in the utmost luxury. Even the faucet was made of cast gold. To build such a paradise would cost at least hundreds of millions!
Zhan Hengyi once said that he didn't have much money. The eldest brother of the Zhan family was in charge of the business. He only had soldiers and didn't even have his own house... He wanted to use her place...
The more Nan Chengcheng thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
After drying her hair, she casually picked up a book on the bedside table and read it.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Zhan Hengyi seemed to have just taken a shower and was wearing a set of dark blue Western pajamas. "I see the light in your room is still on. If you can't sleep, let's go to the tree house to see the night view together!"
"Um."
Nan Chengcheng's heart was pounding, she was very nervous, but also seemed a little excited.
