Chapter 141 - 59: Lu Zhi’an’s Overnight Visit, Zheng Qi’s Return

Sponsored

The two of them, who had been about to head out, turned around and went back to their room. Jiang Li simply sat on the edge of the bed, her head bowed, lost in thought.

Shen Yanzhi placed his hands on Jiang Li’s shoulders. "They said we’ll be able to see her tomorrow morning, so let’s get some sleep. Worrying now won’t do any good."

Jiang Li let out a sigh. "Tell me, why on earth would she show up at the border of all places?"

A possibility occurred to her, and Jiang Li couldn’t help but voice it. "What if she was just there on business? Are we overreacting?"

Shen Yanzhi reasoned it out step by step. "It’s just like Lu said earlier. She hasn’t streamed in three days, and she didn’t post any notice about taking time off. As an influencer, especially one who supports farmers, it’s impossible for her to just disappear without a trace."

Jiang Li anxiously ran a hand through her hair. "I just hope she’s okay."

Shen Yanzhi comforted her, "Get some sleep. We’ll see her tomorrow."

Jiang Li looked up at Shen Yanzhi. "Then tell me a story."

’Maybe I slept too much during the day, because I’m not the least bit tired now. Besides, with no idea what’s happening with Zheng Qi, how could I possibly fall asleep?’

Shen Yanzhi was at a loss for a moment. "What kind of story do you want to hear?"

Jiang Li lay down on the bed, pulling the covers over her shoulders. Her big eyes blinked up at Shen Yanzhi. "Just tell me about your life abroad."

Shen Yanzhi paused for a moment. "Actually, there’s not much to say about my life abroad. It was dull and monotonous."

Seeing that Shen Yanzhi seemed reluctant to talk about it, Jiang Li didn’t press him. "Then you can just tell me whatever you want~"

She turned onto her side, staring intently at Shen Yanzhi. "Or you could sing me a song."

’I’d heard him sing a few times before. He was a bit off-key, sure, but it had its own unique charm.’

Shen Yanzhi was both amused and exasperated. "I sing off-key, and you know it."

Jiang Li chuckled. "Off-key or not, what if it helps me sleep?"

Shen Yanzhi nodded. "Alright. Since you want to hear me sing, don’t blame me if it’s murder on your ears."

He took out his phone, opened a music app, found a song he knew, and started the instrumental track.

Just as Shen Yanzhi began to sing, Jiang Li was already bracing herself to laugh at him. But to her surprise, his voice came out crisp and clear, a world away from the off-key singer she remembered from years ago.

Jiang Li desperately wanted to ask if he had been secretly practicing abroad, but she couldn’t bring herself to interrupt. Instead, she just rested her chin on her hands, her eyes completely captivated by him.

Whether it was because the song was an effective lullaby, or simply because pregnant women need a lot of sleep...

By the time the song ended, Jiang Li had actually fallen asleep.

Shen Yanzhi couldn’t help but chuckle and shake his head. He leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on Jiang Li’s forehead. "Good night."

He was just about to get up to wash when his phone suddenly rang.

Shen Yanzhi immediately pressed the power button to silence it and glanced instinctively at Jiang Li. Thankfully, she showed no signs of waking.

Seeing it was Lu Zhi’an, he quickly stepped out onto the balcony to answer. "What now?"

Instead of answering, Lu Zhi’an asked a question of his own: "Why aren’t you at home?"

Shen Yanzhi fought the urge to roll his eyes. ’He calls me this late at night, nearly wakes up Jiang Li, and all for what? To ask why I’m not home.’

"I moved."

Lu Zhi’an said hastily, "Quick, send me your location. I’ll come over."

"Okay, sending it now."

Shen Yanzhi hung up, sent his location to Lu Zhi’an, and then messaged Xie Wan.

He told her to prepare a guest room, get some food ready, and decant a bottle of red wine.

After finishing all that, he took a quick shower, changed into loungewear, went to the study to write a note, and left it on the bedside table before finally heading downstairs.

He waited in the living room for about ten minutes before he saw Xie Wan leading Lu Zhi’an inside.

The moment Lu Zhi’an saw Shen Yanzhi, his initial formality vanished. He rushed over and gave Shen Yanzhi a friendly punch on the chest. "When did you buy a villa? How come you never told me?"

Shen Yanzhi raised an eyebrow. "I’m just a humble man, lucky enough to be spoiled by my wife."

Lu Zhi’an rolled his eyes. "Holy shit! Have you no shame?"

Shen Yanzhi replied with a perfectly straight face, "What good is shame? You can’t eat it."

"Besides, haven’t you heard the saying? He who has no shame is invincible."

The corner of Lu Zhi’an’s mouth twitched. After knowing Shen Yanzhi for so many years, this was the first time he realized the man could be this shameless.

He gave Shen Yanzhi a thumbs-up. "Spoken like a true married man. Your level of enlightenment is just different."

Shen Yanzhi picked up the glass of water in front of him and took a sip. "So, did you come all the way here in the middle of the night just to tell me that?"

Lu Zhi’an waved his hand. "I was just curious. How did you two know where to find Zheng Qi?"
