Bloody Romance: I, the big troublemaker, Zhong Yuemin!

After accepting the gift, the family continued their meal. The atmosphere was warm and friendly, but Zhou Huaibin suddenly interjected:

"By the way, Yuemin, I heard from Dad that you went to Myanmar, didn't you? Why did you go to Hong Kong again?"

"Myanmar?"

Before Zhong Yuemin could speak, Zhou Xiaobai looked at her husband in surprise and asked:

When did you go to Myanmar?

"Cough cough..." Zhong Yuemin coughed twice and put down his chopsticks.

He hadn't mentioned his trip to Myanmar to rescue Ning Wei to his wife. Mainly, he didn't want her to worry, especially since she was pregnant. However, his father-in-law, Zhou Zhennan, although retired, still knew some things due to his position, and his own father was also aware of the situation.

Being exposed like this, he felt a little guilty: "Well... I also have some small business in Myanmar. I went there to take care of it, and then I went straight to Hong Kong Island."

I just picked up a random excuse.

"Is that so?" Zhou Xiaobai looked into his eyes, still somewhat doubtful.

"Would I lie to you?"

Zhou Xiaobai didn't press further, but there was a clear hint of contemplation in his eyes.

After dinner, the family of three didn't rush back home and stayed at the wife's parents' house for the night.

In the bedroom, Zhong Yuemin had already washed up and lay down. Zhou Xiaobai came out after showering, drying her wet hair, and got into bed from the other side. The little girl had been taken to bed by her mother-in-law, so they finally had some quiet time together.

Zhong Yuemin immediately turned to the side, stretched out his arm and embraced his wife's slender waist, burying his face in the soft crook of her neck, taking a deep breath of her fresh, post-shower fragrance. He chuckled softly:

"Finally, no one will bother us... We can have some peace and quiet together."

Zhou Xiaobai leaned against the headboard, letting him hold her, but upon hearing this, she scoffed, "What's with this 'two-person time'? I'm still pregnant. You want to... do something 'bad'?"

Zhong Yuemin raised his head, a sly smile in his eyes: "There are many kinds of bad things... Some 'bad things' don't require that 'condition'..."

Zhou Xiaobai's face flushed slightly. Having followed this scoundrel for so long, she had mastered all sorts of tricks. She turned her face away.

"Don't even think about any funny ideas. You're always lying to me, huh!"

His tone clearly carried a hint of grievance.

"Huh?" Zhong Yuemin looked completely innocent. "What did I lie to you about?"

"You still dare to say you didn't lie to me?" Zhou Xiaobai turned her head and stared at him seriously. "You went to Myanmar, was it really just for business? At the dinner table earlier, my older brother and my father were exchanging glances and passing things around. It's like they were hiding something from me... You must be hiding something from me."

Zhong Yuemin scratched his head, knowing he couldn't hide it anymore, so he had no choice but to confess honestly: "Actually, it's nothing serious... it's just Ning Wei, you know. He was serving in the army before, and while on a mission there, he was betrayed by an informant and disappeared in that area."

"So... you went to rescue him yourself?" Zhou Xiaobai's voice turned somber.

“Yes.” Zhong Yuemin nodded, his tone carrying an undeniable determination. “If it were someone else, I might not go through all this trouble, but not Ning Wei… Even if he’s dead, I have to find a way to bring his body back.”

"Then why didn't you tell me?!" Zhou Xiaobai's voice suddenly rose several decibels, and her eyes reddened. "Am I still your wife? Such a big thing, and you didn't even mention it to me?"

"Of course!" Zhong Yuemin quickly hugged her tightly and explained in a low voice, "I was just afraid you would worry... You're pregnant, so you can't get too emotional."

"I'm even more worried if you don't tell me!" Zhou Xiaobai said angrily, her cheeks puffed out. "I'm your wife, so I should share these responsibilities with you! My dad knows, but I've been kept in the dark like a fool..."

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, don't be angry..." Zhong Yuemin hurriedly coaxed her, gently stroking her belly.

"You're pregnant, don't upset the baby. I'm back safe and sound, aren't I? I promise I won't hide anything from you from now on! I'll tell you everything about how many times I pee, how many times I poop, how many times I wash my hands... okay?"

"Don't try to change the subject with that flippant smile!" Zhou Xiaobai said sternly, but her tone softened, filled with deep concern.

“Yuemin, I understand that you’re working hard for Ningwei’s sake, and I won’t stop you, but you also have to think about our family… think about Dad, think about me, think about Xiaoling’er, and about the baby in your belly.”

You're not young anymore, not a young man in his early twenties. What if... something happens to you? What will we, your mother and children, do?"

She became increasingly frightened as she spoke: "If you wanted to save people, you could have thought of other ways, spent more money, and used more connections... Why did you have to go to such a dangerous place yourself?"

As Zhong Yuemin listened to his wife's nagging complaints and worries, he felt a warm glow in his heart, but also a little guilty, and didn't refute her at all.

"Okay, okay, I understand." He solemnly promised, "Next time... no, there will absolutely be no next time! If something like this happens again, I will definitely not rush in myself. If I can solve it with money, I will solve it with money; if I can use connections, I will use connections. Is that alright?"

He glanced at the wall clock: "Alright, it's getting late, you should get some rest. Don't you have to go to work tomorrow?"

After turning off the lights, the two lay down side by side.

Zhong Yuemin habitually reached out and pulled his wife's soft body into his arms. The light and pleasant scent of his wife's hair and body lingered around his nose, and he felt the delicate and smooth skin under his palm. In the dimly lit room, the ambiguous atmosphere intensified, and he couldn't help but feel a little distracted... He didn't miss any of the expected reactions.

Women are incredibly perceptive; how could they not notice? Zhou Xiaobai sighed softly in the darkness, a hint of helplessness and indulgent resentment in her voice:

"Can't you just shut up for a second?"

After a while, she moved slightly, and then...

-

-

Nothing was said that night. The next morning, the two got up, and Zhong Yuemin came out of the bathroom to wash up and saw his wife changing the bedding.

"Why replace it? It's perfectly clean."

"Clean what?" Zhou Xiaobai pointed, "It's all because of you. If my mom sees this..." She was too ashamed to face anyone.

"Take it off and wash it."

He smiled,

"We've been married for so long, what's there to be embarrassed about?"

The two got dressed, left the bedroom, and finished breakfast. The little girl, who had a playmate with her older cousin, didn't want to leave and kept insisting on playing together. So they let her; she was so young, it was fine if she didn't go to kindergarten.

Chen Yijun said, "You guys go ahead and do your work. I'll look after the kids, don't worry!"

After the two left, he first took his wife to the hospital, and then went directly to the company.
