Ch 176: Foolish

Jiang Zao smiled and said, “Secret.”

The doting overflowing in Fu Yanci’s eyes enveloped her, and the corners of his mouth lifted because of her smile, as if just seeing her instantly filled his empty heart, and there was always a feeling of happiness constantly surging, wanting to overflow.

“Things are pretty much on track here, when are you going back to Lin City?” Fu Yanci asked.

He would rather go back and take cold showers every night than continue this long-term separation.

As soon as he finished speaking, a helicopter descended from the sky, stirring up a gust of wind.

Jiang Zao had to shout to Fu Yanci, “I forgot to tell you, I’m going back to Lin City today, Sister Xiao is looking for me.”

Fu Yanci just watched Jiang Zao get on the helicopter, and then… it flew away.

Flew! Away!

Wife Won’t Let Me Cuddle Today V: Good news, my wife is home, bad news, my wife didn’t take me home with her…

Paired with a sobbing emoji, it really attracted a lot of comments.

【Yo! This guy changed his ID again!】

【Your wife ran away and you still have time to be cute here, I’ll beat a sobbing monster to death with one punch.】

【Don’t you have legs? Can’t you go back yourself? Girls need to be coaxed.】

Wife Won’t Let Me Cuddle Today V: How to coax her?

【Send flowers, invite her to dinner, watch a movie, create romance, give her surprises.】

【That’s right, what girls care about most is a sense of ritual.】

【What she likes, what she wants, you always know, right?】

Fu Yanci sat on the plane, looking at these comments, and fell into deep thought.

◈◈◈

Lin City.

Jiang Zao hurried to Zheng Xiao’s home.

Lu Li opened the door.

“What’s wrong with Sister Xiao?” Jiang Zao asked as soon as she entered the door, not seeing Zheng Xiao anywhere, only the door of the music room upstairs was tightly closed.

It was Lu Li who called Jiang Zao for help, he really had no choice.

“She’s locked herself in the music room for several days, and no matter how much I call her, she doesn’t respond. That door is too strong, I can’t open it. I even found a locksmith, but they couldn’t do anything with that lock. Her phone is also turned off.”

Hearing this, Jiang Zao breathed a sigh of relief.

She put the suitcase aside, took off her trench coat and put it on the sofa, then went upstairs and unlocked the door of the music room with her fingerprint.

Click.

The door opened.

Music with a bit of a gothic feel came out.

There was no one around, Jiang Zao looked directly at the lounge, and sure enough, Zheng Xiao was still sleeping.

This was the first time Lu Li had entered here.

He discovered that there was not only a kitchen, a refrigerator, and a lounge, but also a bathroom, and even a washing machine.

Jiang Zao made sure that Zheng Xiao was still asleep, then gently closed the door of the lounge and motioned for Lu Li to come out with her.

As the door of the music room closed, the music stopped.

Jiang Zao explained, “This room has multiple layers of soundproofing.”

Only then did Lu Li realize why he had shouted so loudly at Zheng Xiao, but there was no response.

“When Sister Xiao has inspiration, she will seclude herself inside, with food and drink, and changes of clothes, so usually there’s no need to worry. It’s best not to disturb her in this situation.” Jiang Zao instructed, after all, Lu Li might encounter these things often in the future.

Lu Li was relieved, “It’s a good thing I didn’t call the police.”

Jiang Zao couldn’t help but laugh, “I actually called the police before.”

That was the first time she saw Zheng Xiao completely immersed in the state of creation, locked in the room without eating, drinking, or sleeping, worried to death, and not paying attention to anyone. There was no way, so she called the police.

The result was a big misunderstanding.

◈◈◈

Lu Li had prepared the meal in the evening, and subconsciously looked upstairs again.

Jiang Zao had been here all afternoon and couldn’t remember how many times Lu Li had looked upstairs.

“So worried about her?” Jiang Zao closed the laptop, sat sideways on the sofa, with one hand on the back of the chair, supporting her head.

Lu Li lowered his head to turn on the warming function of the dining table, and covered all the dishes, afraid they would get cold.

He didn’t say anything, so Jiang Zao continued to ask, “Worried about her, why don’t you tell her?”

Lu Li pursed his lips, “I’m her assistant, it’s my responsibility to care about her.”

“Is that so?” Jiang Zao casually said, “Qiao Li also cares about Sister Xiao quite a bit, why don’t you let her accompany Sister Xiao, and you go to the hospital to see your sister more.”

She picked up her phone, seemingly about to make a call.

Of course, she was just pretending.

Qiao Li, who was in Southern Yunnan, suddenly sneezed several times.

Qiao Li wiped his nose, “No, someone must be cursing me.”

Then, while complaining about the terrible weather here, he walked towards the guesthouse.

“Young Master Qiao, General Jiang has already gone back, aren’t you leaving?” a worker asked curiously.

Qiao Li was really a bit cold, and wrapped the ugliest military coat he had ever seen around himself, his nose was red, and he couldn’t see the playboy look of the former Lin City rich young master at all.

“I’ve invested all my wealth here, I’m not going back until I earn it back.”

He had boasted to his family, and he couldn’t afford to lose face by going back now.

Back at Zheng Xiao’s house, Lu Li accidentally broke a plate after hearing Jiang Zao’s words.

This was rare for him, who had always been steady and cautious.

Just then, Zheng Xiao woke up, opened the door of the music room, and hearing the sound, her footsteps quickened as she went downstairs.

“What’s wrong?” She followed the sound to the dining room.

She even ignored Jiang Zao sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Jiang Zao: “?”

There’s something going on here.

Jiang Zao took the initiative to make her presence known: “It’s nothing, it’s just that he broke the set of tableware you brought back from Italy last time.”

Zheng Xiao turned her head: “Baby, when did you come?”

Jiang Zao: “……”

Hehe.

Who would believe that these two don’t have something going on?

Lu Li explained: “You’ve been inside for several days, and no matter how much I called, you didn’t respond. I was worried, and I didn’t dare to call the police, so I had to call General Jiang.”

After speaking, he looked apologetic: “I’m sorry, I just slipped, how much is it, I’ll pay for it.”

He turned to the storage room to get a broom and started cleaning.

Zheng Xiao leaned against the dining table, opened a lid, and grabbed a shrimp to eat.

She asked with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, “This is worth several months of your salary, you’ll pay for it?”

Lu Li paused, “I’ll pay.”

He broke it, so he should pay for it.

Zheng Xiao couldn’t help but reach out and poke Lu Li’s head: “Foolish, can’t you be a rogue? Can’t you say that the plate fell on the ground by itself? You don’t even know how to make up lies, I don’t know what you use that big brain of yours for?”

Lu Li was a little dazed by the scolding.

Jiang Zao had watched enough of the fun, got up and walked to Zheng Xiao’s side, put her hand on her shoulder, and asked, “Are you out of seclusion?”

“Yeah.” At this time, there was light in Zheng Xiao’s eyes again, “There’s still some post-production left, I have to get busy starting tomorrow, finding someone to record harmonies and stuff. As for the jewelry company’s affairs, you can handle it yourself, just tell me directly when you need to take photos for promotion.”
