“Zhao Zhan, we’ll be returning to Wangshan in two days.” Yue Jiaojiao sat up with Zhao Zhan’s help, her eyes were sharp.
“Something has happened in Wangshan, and we can’t delay our stay here any longer.
“As for the matter of Yang City’s Yue family, in the future, when our business grows, sooner or later there will be a time to go against him.
“There’s also something else I remembered. Beicheng. I think I’ll have to go take a look.”
Zhao Zhan caressed her soft hair and spoke in a gentle manner, afraid that he might hurt her again.
“I haven’t been idle these few days in Yang City. I’ve asked about most of the things I needed to know. I guess that’s a good thing.
“Although they announced to the public that you’ve passed away, I noticed that there are people from the Yue family near every gate of Yang City. They should be looking for your whereabouts.
“When we return to the mountain gaze, I want to visit Qian Conreng’s house. Speaking of which, when we encountered the bandits, she was the only one that protected me. The resistance of the other servants was just for show.”
“Okay, I’ll do as you say.” Zhao Zhan heard her voice getting quieter, so he lowered his voice as well. “Rest well. Don’t overthink things. I won’t let those who bullied you have an easy time. I may not be able to help you take revenge right now, but I think it won’t be long before I can make them pay.”
Yue Jiaojiao couldn’t help but laugh at his words. Her heart which had been tensed up for so many days finally relaxed, and she felt waves of exhaustion surging through her body. She muttered a few more words to Zhao Zhan before quickly falling asleep.
Seeing that she had fallen asleep, Zhao Zhan suppressed his fatigue and washed all the dirt off his body. Then, he lifted the blanket and lay down beside his lover. He gently pulled her into his arms and closed his eyes.
He did not get good rest these past few days.
Although those two strong men did not raise any suspicions along the way, Yang City’s Yue family was extremely cautious.
Before he could ask around after entering Yang City, he was discovered by the Yue family and was almost taken away by them. Later, he thought of how Chen Xiaolang had asked a beggar to help keep an eye on him, so he followed and learned. He scattered the targets that the Yue family had been keeping an eye on so that he could avoid those people’s interrogation.
He quickly found that those people couldn’t wait to get rid of Jiaojiao.
At that time, Lin Yunxu was like an insignificant shrimp compared to the Yue family. He could use the situation to teach Lin Yunxu a lesson, but now, he had no way to face the Yue family at all.
Zhao Zhan’s goal in the past was to earn more money and let his sweetheart live a relaxed, comfortable, and easy life. After coming into contact with the Yue family, his goal had become an existence that was even more colossal than the Yue family.
When Yue Jiaojiao woke up, she could feel that her entire body was being held tightly by Zhao Zhan.
She had always been unable to estimate the time. As soon as she moved, Zhao Zhan’s eyelashes blinked quickly and then he swiftly opened his eyes with a dazed look.
His voice still carried a hint of sleepiness, and he subconsciously wanted to cuddle her longer in his arms. “Jiaojiao?”
“What?”
Before Yue Jiaojiao could say anything, Zhao Zhan’s entire body was already on top of her.
His eyes were still a little dazed, and his movements were sloppy. He could only rely on his instinctive impulse to gently and carefully caress her face. Then, he pulled up the blanket on his body and completely covered the two of them inside.
“Jiaojiao…”
He said in a hoarse voice.
Yue Jiaojiao’s temper had been completely smothered by him, and the moment she loosened her grip, she felt a chill run down her spine.
Then, the passionate fire that burned before sparked again!
The unconscious Zhao Zhan had already lost all sense of reason.
