Chapter 293: Chapter 293: Reluctant to Leave
Although things were going well, Liu Jiaxin knew in her heart that he really didn’t need to go to such lengths for her.
After all, everyone in the world has their own worries and thoughts.
It’s just that worries and thoughts may differ from person to person.
Right now, his being by her side, staying with her constantly, was already something to be grateful for.
At that moment, she was expressing all the negative emotions in her heart.
And Liu Zheng was always there, comforting her.
He waited until she began to feel sleepy, and then, almost without realizing it, she fell asleep.
After seeing her asleep, Liu Zheng made sure she was well covered with the blanket, then lay down beside her.
The next morning, when they opened their eyes and saw each other right in front of them, they truly felt a warmth in their hearts, a sense of security she hadn’t felt in a long time.
Looking at him with eyes full of smiles, Liu Jiaxin could see that his gaze was almost filled with love for her.
Truth be told, he really liked Liu Jiaxin quite a lot.
"How was it? How did you sleep last night? After telling me so much, you must feel a lot better, right?"
Liu Jiaxin immediately nodded in agreement.
Initially, she felt quite distressed, unsure how to alleviate the emotions in her heart.
But after sharing so much with him, she indeed had a different experience and received a great deal of comfort.
She felt that he truly could empathize with her and stand in her shoes, considering her well-being thoughtfully and offering practical suggestions.
How could this not be considered a good thing for the person before her?
And she was determined to cherish it.
"Of course, I really had a good sleep last night, and for once, without any dreams."
Usually, she had a lot of worries, and she had to make decisions about everything, whether big or small.
So, she would have many dreams at night and never slept well.
But last night, sleeping next to Liu Zheng, she didn’t have any dreams at all, which was truly incredible to her.
"That’s great. What do you want to eat? I’ll make you something, or we can go out to eat together."
"Let’s go out to eat. Don’t trouble yourself, I know of a new breakfast place that’s really good. Let’s go together."
After hearing this, Liu Zheng naturally couldn’t object, and he hastily agreed, then got ready to go with her to check out the breakfast spot.
Soon, they were dressed and out the door.
After arriving at the breakfast place and eating something casual, Liu Jiaxin felt a bit reluctant to leave.
They had finished eating, yet they still sat in their original seats.
Truth be told, she cherished every minute and every second she spent with Liu Zheng, which made her incredibly happy.
Sometimes, she felt very at ease doing nothing at all and couldn’t understand why.
But she certainly cherished this feeling and experience.
"What’s up? Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"
Seeing the woman staring at him intently, Liu Zheng felt a bit puzzled and promptly asked.
To his surprise, Liu Jiaxin simply shook her head and then said a few words.
"I really don’t want to be apart from you," she suddenly blurted out, much to Liu Zheng’s amazement.
He opened his mouth awkwardly, intending to say something but found himself at a loss for words as they reached his lips.
Liu Jiaxin’s unexpected statement left him unsure of how to respond.
After a long pause, he finally smiled.
"Well then, since I’m not busy today, why don’t I take you there first?"
Hearing this, Liu Jiaxin was naturally very pleased and nodded her head in agreement repeatedly.
Soon, the two of them left the breakfast shop together, with Liu Zheng accompanying Liu Jiaxin.
"But you mentioned that you needed to go into the city in a couple of days. When exactly is that? Do you have a specific time in mind?"
When Liu Zheng brought up this matter, Liu Jiaxin’s expression darkened a bit.
The issue was indeed very complex.
The difficulty was also quite high.
Resolving it was certainly not straightforward.
Thus, hearing his question, she didn’t rush to speak but instead sighed softly and shook her head.
"Let’s not talk about it. The matter at hand is indeed a bit complex," she said.
"It was Old Chen who told me about it. I didn’t know about it before, and now they haven’t figured out who the mole is. Trying to investigate this will definitely be challenging."
This person had appeared out of nowhere and committed some outrageous acts, which greatly angered Liu Jiaxin.
However, looking into it too openly would surely alert the perpetrator.
Consequently, she felt extremely troubled and had no idea how to proceed.
How could such a situation not be extremely distressing for her?
Upon hearing this and seeing her expression, Liu Zheng could imagine how difficult the situation must be.
He immediately spoke.
"It’s fine; since it’s like this, I’ll take you back first. Anyway, if you need anything, just tell me. I’m usually free at any time."
And soon enough, he finally took Liu Jiaxin back to the place.
He hadn’t expected that upon their arrival,
they would find several familiar people standing at the entrance of the restaurant.
From afar, he couldn’t see them very clearly.
At the moment, with various gifts in hand, they were indeed feeling very anxious.
After encountering such an incident the day before, they deeply realized the gravity of their mistake.
Liu Zheng was not someone they could afford to provoke.
So even though they had been beaten, they thought of coming over to apologize, lest he harbored a grudge against them.
It wasn’t until Liu Zheng got closer that he finally recognized them.
He hadn’t expected them to actually show up.
