Chapter 1620: Chapter 1639: News
Everything was of her own making.
She just hated herself for being fooled by her for so long, and almost losing her life because of it.
The traces at the scene were handled by someone, and soon the rooftop was cleared. It wasn’t until then that Lu Jin had the chance to walk up to Chen Jing, squat down concernedly, and ask, "How are you? Were you scared?"
Chen Jing shook her head and said with a bitter smile, "After all, I’ve been in Kannaya for quite some time, these things don’t scare me anymore." Even the most timid people will be trained out of it.
When you’ve seen a lot, naturally you’re not afraid anymore.
"Hmm hmm!" Lu Jin nodded, looking at Chen Jing with a gaze much more affectionate than before. Obviously, Chen Jing’s actions when she was being held at gunpoint earlier did not go unnoticed by Lu Jin, and he admired her greatly for it.
"You’re good." Lu Jin spoke to Chen Jing in such a formal tone for the first time, "I need to apologize to you, it was my bad attitude before."
In the past, because Chen Jing was close to Ding Jiaqi, whom he particularly disliked, he inevitably held some prejudice against Chen Jing. Now that Lu Jin realized his problem, he apologized sincerely.
"You don’t need to apologize to me, I should be the one thanking you."
"Come on, let me settle you down first! In a few days, we’ll have a plane to send Gongxi Yunqi away, and you can leave with him then." Actually, they originally planned to have Chen Jing follow Gongxi Yunqi.
Unfortunately, Chen Jing tried everywhere to find a way to save Ding Jiaqi, even pleaded with the sister-in-law.
As Ding Jiaqi, after being released, absolutely could not stay any longer, this was how things ended up.
"Thank you! Thank you so much."
"You’re welcome."

Returning to the room, Huo Beijiang placed Nan Fei on the bed, his handsome face cold, and went to the bathroom to shower without saying a word. Only Kaka and his residence in the Regular Army had the luxury of using water and taking showers freely.
Nan Fei sat on the bed, listening to the sound of water from the bathroom. As soon as she heard the water being turned off, she quickly lay down, turned her back, and pretended to be asleep.
Fresh from the shower and wrapped only with a towel around his waist, Huo Beijiang revealed his alluringly toned upper body, and as he approached the bed, wiping his hair with a towel in one hand, he couldn’t help but laugh in exasperation.
He was just about to settle scores, yet his wife had actually learned to feign sleep.
But this trick worked quite well on him, because even though he knew she was pretending, he couldn’t bear to wake her up.
Huo Beijiang casually dried his hair, then bent down and placed a gentle kiss on Nan Fei’s lips, murmuring softly, "I still have something to do. I’ll be back later, you get some sleep first! If you’re still awake when I get back, we’ll properly discuss your disobedience."
After saying this, he successfully noticed the little wife’s ears twitch a bit, so, with a wicked intention, he gently breathed on Nan Fei’s ear.
Nan Fei just felt a tingling rush from her spine, wanting to shoo him away, but thinking about maintaining her act of sleeping, she had to endure it. However, she was indeed tired, already exhausted by someone’s antics, and after the night’s events, she quickly fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.
