However, Le Yao reached out and hugged Nangong Jue. This man made it sound especially easy. In fact, she didn’t need to think to know that it must have been extremely dangerous at that time. Otherwise, why would he travel to three countries?
Moreover, if it weren’t for the fact that he risked his life to protect them, how could he have moved the old couple so deeply for them to treat him like their son?
Nangong Jue was stunned, but he enjoyed the feeling of being relied on by his wife. Then, he couldn’t help but do it a few more times. He only stopped when he knew that Le Yao had completely fallen asleep. It was already midnight, and the two of them hadn’t even eaten dinner.
Looking at his wife’s sleeping face, Nangong Jue felt a little guilty, but he couldn’t bear to call for help. He just got up and cleaned up the two of them before hugging his wife and falling asleep.
Le Yao woke up the next morning from hunger. She hadn’t eaten dinner and had exercised for half the night. It would be strange if she wasn’t hungry. In the end, when she opened her eyes, she realized that there was no one around her. She couldn’t help but frown. It was only six o’clock. Where had that guy gone?
At this moment, Nangong Jue quietly returned. When he met Le Yao’s open eyes, he smiled. “Wife, you’re hungry, right? I’m done cooking. Do you want to eat here or go down?”
Le Yao rolled her eyes at him and got up. She couldn’t stand eating in bed, let alone before brushing her teeth.
Nangong Jue smiled and eagerly went to the washroom to squeeze out the toothpaste. “Wife, wash up first. I’ll go down and serve the food.”
Le Yao couldn’t be bothered to roll her eyes at him. She went straight to wash up and went downstairs. She realized that breakfast was on the table. There were two types of porridge, and there were also soup dumplings, steamed dumplings, and sunny-side up. She couldn’t help but glance at Nangong Jue. “Why are you tormenting Aunt Bai? There’s so much. The two of us won’t be able to finish it.”
“Lan, you’ve wronged Ah Jue.” Aunt Bai smiled and brought out a dish containing vinegar. “Ah Jue personally made these. He also personally made the soup dumplings. Try them.”
‘When did you learn these? Not bad.” Le Yao ate a soup dumpling and took a sip of the Eight Treasures porridge.
“I learned it from watching videos when I had nothing to do.” Nangong Jue heaved a sigh of relief. “If it’s delicious. Eat more. We still have to catch a plane later.”
Le Yao didn’t say anything else and buried her head in her food. When she was full, she finally felt alive.
At first, Nangong Jue had been serving Le Yao food and drinks. Seeing that she was full, he finished the rest. Then, the two of them began to pack their luggage and carried them to the airport.
It was only an hour’s flight from Xiling City to Beichuan City. It was still in the country, so there was no need to get a private jet. Hence, the two of them quickly went to the airport.
Because they had bought business cla.s.s tickets, they arrived at Beichuan Airport after a short while. This time, they only brought Hei Ying and Tao Qing along. However, as soon as they left the station, someone welcomed them. Although Le Yao didn’t know them, they were very familiar with Hei Ying and Tao Qing and respected Nangong Jue very much. They should be their colleagues.
“Where are we staying?” Le Yao asked as she got into the car.
“The Earl Hotel.” Nangong Jue looked at Le Yao. “Or do you have any other ideas?”
“A hotel is good.” Le Yao shook her head. She knew that apart from the hotel and clubhouse, the
Zunjue Corporation also had real estate here. They seemed to have developed a few Condos, but she had never paid attention to where they were. “Anyway, we won’t be staying for long..”
