Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhu Liwen suffered a fall and fractured his femur during a business trip, requiring him to stay in bed for at least three months.
Xu Qiaoyu and Zhou Xia are both tormented by a nightmare talisman. For half a month, she dreamed that her husband was cheating on her. She was unable to concentrate on her work and was suspicious all day long. She even hired a private investigator to follow her husband, and their relationship was on the verge of collapse.
Zhou Xia, on the other hand, couldn't sleep night after night. Her mood was already fluctuating greatly after childbirth, and the severe lack of sleep made her show signs of postpartum depression.
The two were too busy taking care of themselves to have any time to find fault with Chu Yuan.
Chu Yuan works in the archives department, but she hardly has any work to do. She can easily manage to work for two hours a day.
Otherwise, unless Shen Xizhou was looking for her, she would read books diligently.
After this experience, she's become incredibly clear-headed!
No matter how reliable a man is, he still needs to stand on his own two feet!
Because men are not parts of her body that she can order around at any time.
Only by standing higher can professionals have human rights and a voice.
This is especially true for government agencies.
Seven or eight days later, the unit organized a team building activity. Whether it was a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement, seven or eight people from the archives department, twenty people from the criminal court, and thirty people from Shen Xizhou's trial supervision court all went on the same day for the team building activity.
Our destination was a picturesque red town with beautiful mountains and clear waters.
In addition to sites related to the Long March and the former residences of deceased leaders, the unique riverside ancient towns and the captivating nighttime boat tours offer a unique and exciting tourist experience.
Chu Yuan had just seen the work group notification that the clerk was also going when Shen Xizhou's message arrived: "[Yuan Yuan, remember to balance work and rest, and be sure to submit your ID number to the department's internal affairs office to buy your ticket.]"
Chu Yuan will be transferred back to her original department in a few more days.
Upon seeing these words, my heart skipped a beat, and a sense of danger washed over me.
So he thinks that seeing each other three times a day and meeting up every three days for more than half a month isn't enough to balance work and rest?
That jerk! Isn't this interfering with people's studies?!
Despite thinking this way, Chu Yuan still bought some nice new clothes to wear on the day of departure.
A woman dresses up for the man she loves.
She and Shen Xizhou did not live together; they would only stay together when they were tired from meeting.
The next day, they would deliberately go out at different times.
Chu Yuan really liked this way of getting along, where everyone had their own space. Shen Xizhou was mature and steady, not clingy, and had his own focus in life, but he was not boring at all, unlike the "rigid and bland" person he had described before.
He knows more than many young people; he's an expert in everything from house parties and board games to murder mystery games and escape rooms!
He is also very athletic, excelling in skill-based sports like rollerblading, archery, and golf, as well as power-based sports like tennis and weightlifting. He also occasionally participates in activities such as cycling marathons and outdoor camping.
The more Chu Yuan interacted with him, the more she could feel his broad knowledge and magnanimous spirit.
This is something that many superficial young male celebrities lack.
After that day, Chu Yuan couldn't help but poke his chest and whine, "It's such a pity that I didn't participate in any of the things you mentioned."
Shen Xizhou grabbed her mischievous little hand. "You want to go?"
"Of course." Chu Yuan replied without hesitation, her small hand unconsciously covering her abdomen. The baby should already be implanted, right?
Before the secret is revealed, you should have some fun with it.
Otherwise, given Shen Xizhou's personality, he definitely wouldn't have taken her there after finding out.
Shen Xizhou pinched Chu Yuan's nose and laughed heartily, "Then let's go! After the team building activity, I'll take you through all of them one by one. I didn't take you before because I was worried you wouldn't like them."
After all, Chu Yuan was preparing for exams and was also a bit of a homebody.
He has never been someone who needs to force others to accompany him.
Chu Yuan nodded. After lying down for a while, Shen Xizhou suddenly asked, "You don't have a good relationship with your family, so do you have your household registration book with you?"
When he asked this question, Shen Xizhou had already prepared himself to take time to go back to Chu Yuan's hometown as soon as possible if she wasn't there, and try to persuade the little girl's parents to lend him their household registration book.
Unexpectedly, Chu Yuan nodded obediently, "Yes, the regulations in my hometown are not strict. My family has three or four household registration books. After I decided not to go back to my hometown, I secretly took one. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so easily tricked into marriage by Zhu Jicheng."
Shen Xizhou raised his eyes; it was the first time he had heard her bring up this man on her own initiative.
He thought, even if he's a scumbag or a liar, he's probably a different kind of person to the young girl, right?
Occasionally, when he looks at the little girl's sleeping face, he feels regretful, wondering why he didn't meet her first.
But it was only for a moment; he wasn't someone who cared about the past, nor did he dwell on it.
Even though it's a pity, it's mainly because I feel sorry for her suffering so much.
Shen Xizhou turned Chu Yuan's face around and showered her with feather-like kisses on her forehead, eyebrows, eyes, and nose, finally kissing her soft pink lips.
Their breaths mingled, and their heat intensified.
After a while, he released her and murmured, "Dress nicely tomorrow. I'll ask for leave for you and take you somewhere."
Chu Yuan raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Where is it? You're not keeping your promise and taking me out to play ahead of schedule, are you?"
"Don't ask yet." Shen Xizhou held his beloved girl in his arms, his heart calm yet with a faint flutter of excitement. He was surprised that he actually had the idea of getting married. If his family knew, they would probably be so happy they would faint.
"Oh right, bring your household registration booklet," he added with a smile.
A jolt ran through Chu Yuan's heart; she seemed to have guessed what Shen Xizhou was about to do.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't surprised.
This man is so intelligent and outstanding; many of his ideas have transcended worldly conventions.
Marriage was not a necessity for him, because he was destined to climb to a high position and look down on the world.
