This ti, Liu Ergou had brought money with him when he went out.
So, he didn't go to the bus station but instead took a taxi straight back to Fengzhu Village.
As soon as he arrived, he hurried toward his ho.
He had been away for quite so ti. Before leaving, he had only told his sister-in-law that he would be back in a few days, yet ten days had passed.
Having been away for so long, she must be worried sick about .
Sure enough, the mont Liu Ergou got ho, he saw Xu Yulan sitting on the bed. She looked haggard, her eyes filled with worry, and she kept glancing outside, as if waiting for soone.
Seeing this, how could Liu Ergou not understand? His sister-in-law was worried about him; otherwise, she wouldn't look this way.
With this thought, Liu Ergou no longer hesitated and quickly stepped into the room.
He shouted, "Sister-in-law, I'm back!"
Xu Yulan, who had been sitting on the bed in a daze, froze at the sound of his voice. Then, she looked at the doorway in disbelief. When she saw Liu Ergou standing there, she was imdiately overjoyed.
She jumped right off the bed and, without even putting on her shoes, threw herself into his arms.
"Er Gou, why did you take so long to co back?" Xu Yulan cried into his arms. "You said you'd only be gone a few days, but you were away for almost ten days! I was worried sick!"
Looking at Xu Yulan in his arms, Liu Ergou couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt. He had left his sister-in-law all alone at ho while he was gone for so long, which wasn't right of him.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry."
"Getting the dical license was difficult, so it delayed for a while," Liu Ergou explained softly. "I ca ho the very mont I got it!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and shook the file folder in it.
Liu Ergou wasn't lying. If he hadn't pulled so strings this ti, getting the license would have taken even longer, perhaps indefinitely.
After seeing the file folder in his hand, Xu Yulan said softly, "I was worried about you being out there all alone."
As she said this, she seed to rember sothing and added, "Oh right, Er Gou, I almost forgot to tell you. While you were away, Hui Hui and Xiao Rou ca looking for you. When Hui Hui ca, she was crying her eyes out. It must have been sothing urgent."
Liu Ergou's eyebrows shot up.
Hui Hui ca looking for , and she was crying her eyes out? What happened? Why was she crying?
He decided that after consoling his sister-in-law, he would find Hui Hui to see what was going on. As for Xiao Rou, Liu Ergou wasn't curious.
I don't even have to think about it; it has to be about the annulnt. There's nothing else it could be. Speaking of which, almost half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. With only a few days left, it's normal for her to be anxious. It looks like I'll have to find so ti to resolve this matter.
"Alright, Sister-in-law, I know," Liu Ergou said, gently patting Xu Yulan's back as he held her.
Xu Yulan just lay there obediently in his arms, sobbing quietly.
After more than ten minutes, she finally lifted her head from his embrace, her eyes brimming with tears as she gazed at him.
The sight of her froze Liu Ergou in his tracks. The reason was simple: in that mont, Xu Yulan, with tears shimring in her eyes, possessed a unique and captivating charm. She looked even more tempting than usual.
Watching her, Liu Ergou couldn't help but swallow hard.
Held in his arms, Xu Yulan heard the sound and her pretty face blushed red, as if she realized sothing.
"Er Gou..." she called out softly.
"Sister-in-law!" Liu Ergou imdiately responded.
The two couldn't help but lock eyes. Their gazes clung to each other like magnets, impossible to pull apart.
Liu Ergou couldn't hold back any longer and lowered his head toward her. Xu Yulan cooperated, rising onto her tiptoes and slowly bringing her face closer to his.
In the blink of an eye, they were entangled, inseparable. Their ten-day separation had made them miss each other deeply, and their embrace was unbreakable.
After clinging to each other for a good while, they finally, reluctantly, separated and exchanged a smile.
Liu Ergou lifted Xu Yulan in a princess carry and walked toward the bed, where he gently tossed her down.
But just as he was about to pounce onto the bed himself, a voice called out from outside the main door.
"Yulan! Yulan! Is Er Gou ho?"
The sudden call interrupted them, and Liu Ergou was instantly furious.
Who could be so tactless as to interrupt this mont between my sister-in-law and ?
The thought made him tremble with anger.
Xu Yulan was annoyed too, but she knew that official business was more important. With this in mind, she took a few deep breaths to calm herself, straightened her clothes, and went outside.
Standing outside the door was a tall figure.
"Yulan!" the tall figure said imdiately upon seeing her. "It's . I'm looking for Er Gou. Is he ho? The village committee needs him for sothing!"
Xu Yulan imdiately nodded. "Er Gou is ho. I'll call him out for you in a mont!"
With that, she returned to the room.
Seeing his sister-in-law co back, Liu Ergou asked unhappily, "Sister-in-law, who's looking for outside?"
Seeing his glum face, Xu Yulan smiled gently, then stood on her tiptoes and gave him a firm kiss on the cheek. "It's Secretary Lu. He said to go to the village committee. They have sothing for you!" This content belongs to N()velFire
Hearing this, Liu Ergou nodded but showed no sign of leaving, instead remaining rooted to the spot. This puzzled Xu Yulan, who couldn't understand why he wasn't heading to the village committee.
Just then, Liu Ergou suddenly pulled her into his arms again.
He said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I'll go to the village committee later. I've been away from you for so long. What business at the village committee could possibly be more important than you?"
Hearing this, Xu Yulan couldn't help but reach out and tap him lightly on the forehead.
"You and your sweet words! Alright, I'm right here and I'm not going anywhere. Now hurry along. What if it's sothing important?"
