Xu Ruantang was folding clothes, but after waiting for a long time without a response, she turned her head to look over.
She chuckled and raised her hand, waving it in front of Chen Ji's eyes: "Honey, what are you thinking about?"
Xu Ruantang thought Chen Ji was tired.
She's leaving in a couple of days. She originally planned to fly there herself, which would be faster and safer.
Although airfares are expensive these days, it's still better than her taking a train all day alone.
In this way, Chen Ji doesn't need to worry too much.
Xu Ruantang had just voiced this idea when Chen Ji rejected it.
"Let's take the train. I'll take you there, and I'll come back once you're settled in."
Xu Ruantang thought Chen Ji was asking for leave and that he had been busy in the army day and night recently, which made him lose focus.
"Go take a shower, and go to bed early afterward. I'll take care of the rest."
Actually, there wasn't much left, just a few shirts belonging to Chen Ji that needed to be folded.
To everyone's surprise, Chen Ji remained motionless after she finished speaking, his unfathomable eyes fixed on Xu Ruantang's face.
Xu Ruantang instinctively reached out to touch her face. "Is there something dirty on my face?"
Before her hand could even touch her cheek, Chen Ji grabbed her wrist, and she fell steadily into his arms.
"Wife, let's wash together."
Chen Ji gave Xu Ruantang no chance to respond.
She had only one feeling: Chen Ji tonight was unusually passionate and out of control.
When Xu Ruantang returned upstairs, she had no strength left.
The shirt that Chen Ji hadn't folded yet was folded by him after he had settled Xu Ruantang in.
Xu Ruantang admired Chen Ji most for his seemingly inexhaustible energy.
He won't get tired.
He is not human.
The two had already discussed preparing for pregnancy, so they had no reservations.
Chen Jiyi diverted Xu Ruantang's attention from Li Shuyang's suit, and she quickly forgot about it again.
Chen Ji didn't intend to tell her that Li Shuyang had liked her.
Li Shuhe and Xu Ruantang are good friends, and neither of them will feel awkward if they don't talk about it.
But it's impossible for me to be completely unconcerned.
That day, when Chen Ji was carrying his wife onto the bus, he noticed Li Shuyang's coat.
At the time, all his attention was on the injury on Xu Ruantang's back, and he only asked about it casually afterward.
He was asking Ye Lan.
Out of personal motives, he had someone buy Li Shuyang a new suit and send it over.
As for the one that Xu Ruantang had worn, Chen Ji simply stuffed it into the closet.
Xu Ruantang had no idea what Chen Ji was thinking. She was dozing off when she was pulled into a cool embrace.
"It's getting colder and colder here. I wonder if it's hot where Xiaobao is."
Xu Ruantang mumbled something in a daze, then remembered something else.
"I was so stupid. It's spring all year round there, you can't even wear a cotton-padded coat. I even let Gao Baoliang take it with me."
He tightened his grip on her arm. "It's alright, we'll go over and get Xiaobao a new one."
Xu Ruantang responded softly, "Okay."
......
On the morning of their train journey, for the first time ever, Chen Lin had his driver pick them up.
Chen Ji wanted to refuse as soon as he opened his mouth.
Xu Ruantang quickly agreed, "Okay, we'll be right out."
The relationship between Chen Lin and Chen Ji improved after Chen Lin spoke up for Chen Ji that day.
At least when the father and son meet again, they won't start arguing right away.
Fortunately, Xu Ruantang agreed to ride in Chen Lin's car, and Chen Ji wouldn't contradict her by saying he wouldn't.
She pulled me by the arm, and I went inside to pack my luggage and quickly got on the bus.
Chen Ji, who was usually aloof, acted like a well-behaved child at this moment, which made Xu Ruantang's heart itch.
Once in the car, where the driver couldn't see, she took Chen Ji's hand and scratched his palm.
Stop when you've touched on something.
She tried to pull her hand back, but Chen Ji grabbed it again, his large hand completely enveloping hers.
Chen Ji still maintained a solemn and dignified demeanor.
The train traveled all the way until 10 p.m. before the two finally arrived in the south.
The train station is crowded, and this area is open to the public.
Chen Ji held Xu Ruantang's hand tightly the whole way, as if afraid of losing her.
As soon as the two stepped out of the train station, they saw Gao Baoliang.
He accurately spotted Xu Ruantang and Chen Ji in the crowd and quickly walked towards them.
Gao Baoliang took the luggage from Chen Ji's hands and said with a smile, "Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, you must be tired from your journey!"
This was a tacit understanding that Chen Ji and Gao Baoliang had long ago: not to reveal their identities when out in public.
Gao Baoliang quickly led the two to an open space where a car was parked.
Xu Ruantang was very pleased.
It seems Gao Baoliang is doing well here.
"Third brother, third sister-in-law, get in the car quickly. Haven't you eaten yet? Let's go eat first."
Gao Baoliang opened the car door, and Xu Ruantang got in first.
She had just settled into her seat when she looked up and saw a pair of familiar big eyes staring intently at her from the seat in front of her.
Xu Ruantang's heart skipped a beat.
"Xiao Bao!"
She instinctively reached out to hug the child, asking, "Why are you out so late with the baby?"
Xiao Bao nestled in Xiao Ying's arms.
Looking closely, her eyes were still full of confusion, as if she had just woken up, or perhaps she hadn't slept well in the car.
“Sister-in-law, Baoliang said that you must miss the child. You will be happy to see the child as soon as you get off the bus.”
Xiao Ying's smile was genuine. "Xiao Bao, look, it's Mom and Dad."
Xiao Bao didn't move, he just blinked, looking at Xu Ruantang and then at Chen Ji.
Xu Ruantang was already very happy to be able to see Xiaobao.
