“She just fainted. I’ve got this.” Zhao Dasao pushed through the crowd and harshly pinched Zhang Chunxiang’s acupuncture point with her nails, waking her up from the pain immediately.
Su Pingping supported Zhang Chunxiang, and they went back. Everyone greeted Su Wen and went home.
In the end, only the three sisters were left in the vegetable garden. Su Xiu shone a flashlight around the garden, her heart aching as tears streamed down her face.
“They’re all gone, all ruined, my vegetables.”
Su Qing gritted her teeth in anger. “No, I’ll talk to the second aunt and ask for compensation tomorrow.”
It turned out that Zhang Chunxiang not only stole the vegetables but also trampled on them. When she was stealing the vegetables, she trampled all over the vegetables recklessly. The once thriving vegetable seedlings were now a mess, and it seemed unlikely they would survive.
They had been meticulously cared for. The sisters would come to the garden every day to fertilize, weed, and water. Now everything was ruined. How could they not feel heartbroken?
“Forget it. Let’s go home and sleep.” Su Wen, covered in darkness, didn’t want to stand there getting bitten by mosquitoes anymore. ‘We’ll come back tomorrow during the day. If it’s not salvageable, we’ll dig it up and plant some vegetables suitable for autumn.”
Fortunately, there was still time to plant new ones.
“Okay!”
“Let’s go. I’m about to be bitten to death by mosquitoes.”
In the vegetable garden, there were wild plants, and there was a small ditch next to the plants, attracting many mosquitoes.
Su Wen stood for a while and was bitten by many mosquitoes. When she got home and lit a candle to check, she found several red b.u.mps. She applied some mosquito repellent on her shoulders and back, and the sound of a car came from outside the yard.
“Huh? It’s so late. Could it be Zhou Hengyang coming back?” Su Wen opened the door and walked to the front gate. She peeked through the crack. Through the bright and dazzling car lights, she could see the tall figure standing at the doorway.
“Wenwen, open the door.”
Zhou Hengyang’s hand was in his pocket, and he spotted Su Wen hiding behind the door. He shook his head and smiled. The little girl was quite cautious, peeking first to see who it was!
“Why are you back so late? It was the middle of the night. What kind of urgent matter did you have to walk in the middle of the night? It was too dangerous, and I wouldn’t feel at ease if you drove.”
“I missed you, so I wanted to see you right away.” Zhou Hengyang’s deep gaze seemed to pierce through the door and fall directly on Su Wen, carrying a scorching warmth as if it could burn the skin.
Su Wen felt a stir in her heart. An inexplicable palpitation surged within her. Her cheeks blushed involuntarily.
When she opened the door, the man outside stretched out his long arms and instantly pulled her into his embrace. Zhou Hengyang’s movements were so sudden that Su Wen had no chance to react. His soft lips landed on hers, carrying the distinctive and pleasant scent of a man. The kiss made Su Wen’s heart race, and her body became weak in the man’s strong and broad arms.
She didn’t know how long it lasted before Zhou Hengyang reluctantly released
Su Wen’s lips, murmuring in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Did you miss me?”
Su Wen stubbornly replied, “No…no.” But she did miss him, very much so, to the point of insomnia.
However, she was too embarra.s.sed to say it out loud.
He was dissatisfied with Su Wen’s answer. Without any explanation, he kissed her again, more recklessly this time. Their breaths became erratic, and the intimate kisses left marks from lips to chin to neck.
“Wait…wait!” Su Wen tried to block the overly enthusiastic man with her hand. “You promised to consummate our marriage when I returned this time.” The man sounded aggrieved..
