Chapter 22 Suspicious Behavior



Curiosity drove Chen Ruxue to follow closely.

Lan Daqing walked around the alley for a long time, turning left and right, before finally stopping in front of an inconspicuous old house.

He carefully looked around before reaching out to knock on the door.

The rhythm of the knocking was also very regular: three times loud, two times light, and then three times loud again.

Soon, the door was opened a little. Lan Daqing whispered something, and the person inside quickly opened the door and let the person in.

Although the man moved quickly, Chen Ruxue still saw his appearance clearly.

The man was none other than the one who had previously done business with Lan Daqing on the black market, a thin middle-aged man.

He has an extremely ordinary appearance and has no special features if thrown into a crowd. If it weren't for Chen Ruxue's amazing memory, she probably wouldn't have recognized him.

What is Kelan Daqing doing here? To buy something, it seems unnecessary.

Thinking of some of the TV shows she had watched before and combining them with some of the images she had just seen, Chen Ruxue suddenly had an idea.

Just now, why did Lan Daqing's movements look so much like a joint?

Could it be that Lan Daqing is also that kind of person?

The more she thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed. Just as Chen Ruxue was about to approach the door, she heard footsteps coming from inside. With no time to hide, Chen Ruxue could only slip into the space.

Fortunately, she hid in time. Soon, Lan Daqing came out and left quickly without even looking back.

Chen Ruxue knew that she had lost her chance today and could only go back and make other plans.

Chen Ruxue took out her bicycle and rode to meet Ye Haonan.

When he arrived at the transport team, Ye Haonan had just finished his work.

Chen Ruxue stepped forward with a smile, "Have you finished with the work?"

"Yes! Everything has been taken care of. The formalities have been completed. Also, I have taken more than a week's leave.

I will start working officially at the beginning of next month.

only……"

Ye Haonan stopped talking after saying this.

Chen Ruxue stared at him curiously, "What's wrong?"

"It's just that my original plan to go home with you may not be able to be completed.

The captain said that they will be very busy from now until the New Year and they probably won’t have time for a vacation.

Ruxue, I'm sorry, I broke my promise!"

"Oh! I thought it was something serious, is that it? It's nothing!

There will always be opportunities in the future. Besides, you are not going to do something else.

You earn money for our family, and in the end, I will spend the money you earn. It's all for my own good, and I can't be happier!

As for you, just go to work and earn money without worry, I can go back to Ning City by myself.

By the way, you may not know this, but my mother sent me another two hundred yuan and some tickets, which was specially used as a wedding gift for me.

Before, I blamed my mother wrongly, but it seems she still cares about me. This time when I go back, I must be filial to them."

Chen Ruxue comforted Ye Haonan with a beautiful smile, but in fact, she had already made up her mind not to bring Ye Haonan with her when she returned to Ning City this time.

Firstly, she didn't want him to see her viciousness. If she destroyed the good image of herself in his heart, it would be a loss. Good men are hard to find, and such a good-looking one is even harder to find. If she really lost him, she would be so upset. After all, she hasn't got him yet, so everything should be safe!

Furthermore, the secrets of her system and space should not be revealed if possible, even in front of Ye Haonan.

She has always been a cautious and selfish person. She also knows that nothing is absolute. What if one day Ye Haonan changes?

After all, she had seen too many similar cases in modern times! Even her biological parents were unreliable, so how could anyone else be trusted?

Chen Ruxue's words did indeed make Ye Haonan feel less guilty.

"Then let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative!"

The two of them wandered around the supply and marketing cooperative and only bought two sets of clothes, two pairs of shoes, and two pieces of cotton cloth.

That’s because Chen Ruxue took out the ticket sent by Sun Huijuan.

To be honest, Sun Huijuan sent quite a few tickets this time, including cloth tickets, shoe tickets, non-staple food tickets, grain tickets, oil tickets, and a watch ticket.

Chen Ruxue looked at the ticket in her hand and couldn't help thinking to herself, it seems that her stepmother's life is really not clean!

Ye Haonan took Chen Ruxue to visit the supply and marketing cooperative and finally came to the watch counter.

"Ruxue, I see you still have a watch ticket, why don't you pick out a ladies' watch too.

It’s also convenient for you to check the time on the way home.”

"A watch? Okay! But do you have one?"

Ye Haonan touched his wrist habitually, then touched his head embarrassedly, "I accidentally lost my piece when I was on a mission. But it's okay, I'll find a way to get another one later."

Chen Ruxue's eyes lit up as she thought of something, and she looked straight at Ye Haonan, "I won't buy it this time, I'll buy it for you first.

You will need to check the time while driving next time, so it will be more convenient to have a watch.

As for me, I actually have a watch that my father prepared for me at home in Ning City, but I was in such a hurry to go to the countryside that I forgot to take it.

Just wait until I get home."

Ye Haonan was originally planning to refuse, but later he could not stand Chen Ruxue's repeated insistence, so he had to accept her kindness and bought a men's watch.

After spending almost all the money they had, the two of them finally returned home before dark, carrying a bunch of things.

That night, while Chen Ruxue and Ye Haonan were sleeping soundly, the Niu family was not quiet.

Ever since that day when Niuzi was kicked away by Chen Ruxue and broke two ribs, Aunt Niu has been filled with anger with nowhere to vent.
