Jin Mingzhu returned to her workstation and kept thinking about what had just happened. She thought that Gu Huaijin had given up on the marriage because she ran away from it last time, but from what happened just now, it seemed that things were getting worse. Gu Huaijin's tough attitude of being determined to win made her feel inexplicably fearful.

Jin Mingzhu finished her afternoon shift in a restless mood. When Xu Yang came to pick her up in the afternoon, Jin Mingzhu leaned on his shoulder, trying to find some sense of security.

"Why are you unhappy, Kanan? What happened?" Xu Yang tilted his shoulder to let her lean more comfortably, and asked gently.

Jin Mingzhu held his hand, thought about it, and decided not to say it. "Xu Yang, I feel very tired recently and want to take a rest."

Xu Yang patted her shoulder comfortingly, "How about I apply for annual leave and take you to South City for fun?"

"You said you liked the video of the Nancheng Gardens that I sent you last time. Shall we go take a look together and try some of the Nancheng pastries?"

"Okay, I want to go." Jin Mingzhu looked up and looked at him in surprise.

Seeing that Jin Mingzhu had diverted her attention, Xu Yang relaxed a little and continued to speak.

"We're leaving tonight. I'll book the tickets now. Remember to ask for leave from the company."

"Hmm... How come my boyfriend is so nice? Thank you, Lawyer Xu." Jin Mingzhu said coquettishly, looking up and kissing him on the cheek.

Xu Yang stroked her face, "Then let's go eat first and go back to pack up."

The Gu Group is brightly lit tonight, but the president's office is silent. Gu Huaijin stands in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his expression calm as usual, but there is a chilling shock in his eyes.

Hearing the response from inside, Chen Chuan pushed the door open and walked in.

"Boss Gu, this is the information of both parties involved in the car accident that happened yesterday. The person who ran the scene was the younger brother of Boss Zhao from Yongli Company. He is an uneducated playboy who relied on his brother's power to bully men and women in Beijing. He also got into some trouble before, but his brother dealt with them all."

"The victims were a migrant worker father and daughter. The father suffered heavy bleeding and the daughter suffered a brain injury. However, because the driver fled the scene, they were not found until three hours later, which delayed the best time for rescue. The father and daughter died shortly after being sent to the hospital."

"Follow-up?" Gu Huaijin asked calmly, with a hint of disgust in his expression.

"The section of road where the accident happened is in a deserted mountain outside the city. There are few surveillance cameras, so they only captured the license plate number, not the person in the driver's seat. The family that was hit only had a widowed mother, who was powerless. Mr. Zhao wanted to settle the matter with money, but the victim refused to accept it, and the two sides are at a stalemate."

"Mr. Gu, should we proceed as planned?" Chen Chuan asked.

"Well, go out." Gu Huaijin raised his hand, and the room fell into darkness again.

While waiting for the flight, Xu Yang opened the software to book a hotel. Jin Mingzhu pretended to be calm and replied to the message, but she secretly looked at Xu Yang out of the corner of her eye.

Xu Yang just thought it was a little funny and nodded. "I'll book two rooms."

"Then I'll be scared to sleep alone at night... Can you bear to leave me alone?" Jin Mingzhu pretended to be pitiful and looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"I'll just stay next door with you, okay?"

"Oh no! What if the bad guys catch me and you don't know anything? Woohoo, is our three-year relationship going to fade away like this? As expected, men change their minds faster than turning the pages of a book. Woohoo..."

Seeing her pitiful look, Xu Yang softened his heart, but still insisted. "We only booked one room when we went out. It doesn't matter to me, but it will have a bad impact on you."

"But I don't want to be separated from you..."

After the stalemate, Xu Yang compromised: "Then just book one room." He added, "A double bed."

"My boyfriend is the best." Jin Mingzhu put her arm around his shoulders and Xu Yang patted her hand.

"Come down quickly, it's not a good influence in public."

It was already eight o'clock in the evening when they arrived in Nancheng. After checking in, Xu Yang took Jin Mingzhu to the night market in Nancheng.

"There are a lot of delicious food on this street. The last time I came here, I thought I must bring you here. Today I got my wish."

Jin Mingzhu said excitedly, "Then let's hurry up, I want to eat all over the South City Night Market!"

"Okay!" Seeing Jin Mingzhu's excited look, Xu Yang's face was also full of doting.

"But I want to emphasize first: you can't just take a few bites to taste it and then stuff it into my mouth."

Jin Mingzhu was in high spirits, and said perfunctorily in a sincere tone: "Am I that kind of person? It's sad that Lawyer Xu doesn't trust me at all."

Xu Yang just smiled and didn't say anything. Sure enough, after visiting the night market, Xu Yang had a lot of food in his arms.

"Reporter Jin, what are these?" Xu Yang asked in surprise.

Jin Mingzhu was a little embarrassed but still said stubbornly: "This is Lawyer Xu's money!"

"It's over, Xu Yang, you don't love me anymore... You don't even want to eat my leftovers, humph!"

Xu Yang smiled helplessly, "Okay, okay! I'll help you eliminate them all."

Jin Mingzhu pretended to be angry, "Humph, you don't even hold my hand anymore, our love has faded."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yang hugged the thing tightly and freed one hand to hold her.

"Is it all right, little ancestor?"

Jin Mingzhu was teasing him on purpose, but seeing Xu Yang's cooperation, she contentedly took his hand and walked forward.

"I take back what I said just now. Lawyer Xu loves me the most, and I love Lawyer Xu the most."

"Yes, Lawyer Xu loves reporter Jin the most."

In the ancient alley, the two walked forward hand in hand, occasionally lowering their heads to whisper or laugh softly. The moonlight stretched their shadows very long, as long as their entire lifetime.

It was late at night when they returned to the hotel. Jin Mingzhu lay on the bed, shouting that she was tired and didn't want to move. Xu Yang tried to coax her for a long time without success, so he carried her to the bathroom and helped her wash up. Jin Mingzhu sat on the toilet in a daze, watching Xu Yang washing her feet. A warm feeling surged through her heart, and her eyes suddenly became moist.

"It's so kind of you."

"I really love you so much, Xu Yang."

"I love you most in the whole world!"

Xu Yang looked up at the little man with a dazed look in his eyes and responded seriously: "I love you too, Qianqian."

After washing up, he put the person on the bed, and Xu Yang also lay down on the bed next to him.

Jin Mingzhu pouted as if she was angry and looked at him with dissatisfaction.

Xu Yang's voice was like the warm sun: "I'll watch you sleep with your eyes closed."

Jin Mingzhu said coquettishly: "Xu Yang, I think..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted. "No!" Xu Yang said firmly.

Jin Mingzhu seemed to give up, "Okay then, Xu Hui."

Xu Yang was delighted when he heard this and patted her head, "Don't talk nonsense, close your eyes and go to sleep."

After a day of running around, both were very tired. They said good night to each other and fell into a deep sleep. However, in the middle of the night, Jin Mingzhu was awakened by the noise from the next room: the hotel was a renovated old house, and the sound insulation was not very good. The noise from next door was very loud, and the high-pitched female voice and the faint panting sound were very penetrating.

Jin Mingzhu raised her hands to cover her ears but it didn't work, so she buried her head in the quilt again, but it was too stuffy, so she pulled the quilt off after just a few minutes. She was disturbed and upset, and looked at Xu Yang who was sleeping soundly, and bad thoughts came to her mind.

She got up from the bed quietly, walked to the end of the next bed, tiptoed into Xu Yang's bed, and climbed up along Xu Yang's body.

Xu Yang has always been a light sleeper. He woke up when he heard noises in the next room, but in order to prevent her from making trouble, he pretended to be asleep until she got into bed. Xu Yang could no longer pretend.

"What's wrong? Xianxian." Xu Yang pretended to have just woken up.

Jin Mingzhu went straight into his arms.

"Xu Yang, there's a female ghost crying next door, I'm scared." Jin Mingzhu also pretended to be frightened, her voice trembling a little.

Xu Yang coaxed in a low voice: "There are no ghosts in the world. I'm watching you. It's okay. Go back to sleep."

"Listen, that's the ghost screaming. I'm scared, Xu Yang." Jin Mingzhu's hand deliberately lifted up his already thin pajamas and touched his warm skin.

Xu Yang knew her little tricks very well, raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice.

"Nian Nian, don't you know what they are doing?"

Jin Mingzhu blushed slightly and said stubbornly:

"I don't know. He is still a child."

Xu Yang was stunned for a moment, then kissed her forehead and smiled softly.

"Okay, Xianxian is still a child."

"They are too noisy..." Jin Mingzhu protested weakly.

Xu Yang stood up and knocked on the wall three times, "Dong Dong Dong". The people next door seemed to hear it and the sound gradually subsided.

"I want to sleep here, and you should sleep here too." Jin Mingzhu continued to make a request.

"Okay, but don't touch me."

"Ok!"

Xu Yang's arms were warm and full of security, and the two of them slept well all night.
