Free Web NovelChapter 66: Chapter 66: Oh Heavens, Does It Have to Be This Embarrassing?
"After this long holiday, you’re coming with me! I won’t feel at ease if you’re not by my side!"
Lu Cheng looked at Shen Nian and said with a helpless sigh.
Shen Nian looked back at Lu Cheng. He had mentioned her moving in with him before, but this time was different.
His tone was no longer one of discussion, as it had been before. He was already resolute on this point.
Shen Nian could even hear the deep, doting affection in his voice.
’So, all this time while I was at home and he was at the office, he’s been worried about me?’
"Didn’t you say you still had to apply for it?"
"I already applied. When I get back, I’ll just have to push my superiors a little, and it should be fine."
"..."
Shen Nian looked at Lu Cheng. ’Since he’s put it that way, what else can I say?’
However, though Shen Nian didn’t say anything, she was actually already starting to look forward to living with Lu Cheng.
In her past life, she had married Lu Cheng, but they had never actually lived together.
’This life,’ she thought, ’will bring so many new experiences.’
Where Lu Cheng lived was his world, and Shen Nian now desperately wanted to understand that world better.
She wanted to become a part of it.
After the human trafficking ring was captured, Lu Cheng and his team received praise and thanks from the police. The rest of the work was now in the hands of the C City Police Department.
Their security company’s C City branch was also commended, and the branch director was naturally ecstatic. For him, this was a huge boost to his performance record!
Lu Cheng was his lucky star! His visit had brought so much good fortune. Forget offending someone like that; the director practically wanted to build a shrine to him!
So when Lu Cheng and his group departed, the director gave them an exceptionally enthusiastic send-off, earnestly telling Lu Cheng how much he hoped he would visit again.
If he didn’t know it was impossible, he would have even begged Lu Cheng to transfer directly to the C City branch.
Shen Nian’s original train ride was supposed to take at least a full day and night. C City was only the halfway point of her journey.
For the rest of the way, she naturally wouldn’t be taking the train. Instead, she would ride back with Lu Cheng and his team in a company car.
The route by car was different from the train’s, so the scenery was different as well.
Shen Nian didn’t know if Lu Cheng had arranged it on purpose or if this had been their planned route all along. In any case, she found they were traveling along sparsely populated roads with breathtaking scenery.
Lu Cheng was supposed to be sharing a car with his colleagues, but now with Shen Nian present, he simply commandeered a vehicle for themselves, telling the others to ride together.
It was a rare chance for them to be alone, and Lu Cheng didn’t want any interruptions.
Shen Nian glanced at the scenery outside, then at Lu Cheng, who was focused on driving beside her. It felt as if the two of them were on a scenic trip together. It was truly so delightful!
’And he looks so handsome when he’s focused on driving!’
The beautiful scenery and the handsome man beside her were enough to make Shen Nian feel completely intoxicated by the moment.
But this blissful feeling didn’t last long before her expression suddenly changed.
’The atmosphere was so perfect. Why, of all times, did my stomach have to start hurting now?!’
’I don’t think I ate anything strange, so why do I suddenly have an upset stomach?’
’If we were on the train, I could just go to the restroom. But we’re in a car! And this road... you could call it scenic, but you could also call it the middle of nowhere!’
’There’s probably nowhere to borrow a restroom for miles around here!’
’Oh, heavens! Our first trip together... does it have to be this embarrassing?!’
