Wu Kexin was surprised, and Annie, beside her, was equally stunned.
However, she was still very angry, "Does it take a whole day and night to save soone?"
Chen Yang smiled at Annie, "I ca back last night, but it was late, so I didn’t want to disturb you."
"Really?"
Hearing this, Annie felt a bit less angry.
"Of course it’s true, if you don’t believe , you can check the incubator room, I was there first thing this morning," Chen Yang said.
"Alright then, I’ll trust you this ti. But I haven’t forgiven you for leaving alone at ho, that’s hard to forget." Annie pouted, looking very adorable.
Chen Yang knew that this girl got mad quickly but cald down just as fast.
After hearing his explanation, she wasn’t really angry anymore, just pretending to be.
"Okay, I’ll work on getting your forgiveness, alright? Yesterday was unexpected, or I would’ve told you guys earlier," Chen Yang agreed with a smile, explaining himself again.
Wu Kexin asked with continued concern, "Is your friend okay then? Did Gu Xuanyu harm her?"
"No, everything is fine."
Seeing Wu Kexin’s concern, Chen Yang didn’t wait for more questions and proactively recounted the events of yesterday in detail.
Annie and Wu Kexin listened attentively.
After listening, Annie gritted her teeth in contempt for Gu Xuanyu.
"Glad I didn’t marry such a despicable guy. He’s so shaless."
Annie sneered dismissively.
"It is quite unethical, but it’s no surprise considering the kind of person he is," Wu Kexin said, though her expression was normal, her tone was disdainful.
The Gu Family, after all, is a prominent and influential family in the provincial capital.
Yet behaving like a street thug and gangster is embarrassing.
Not only have they disgraced themselves, but probably other families like theirs are also losing face.
"Heh, it’s not his first ti doing such things, so it’s normal, nothing surprising," Chen Yang reacted with much more calmness, having dealt with the Gu Family often.
He knew those people would do anything immoral to achieve their goals, so he was used to it.
The three of them chatted briefly about the Gu Family in the office.
Then, as it was near noon, Chen Yang suggested they go to the clinic for lunch, as an apology for yesterday.
Hearing this, Annie looked a bit happier.
"Hey, alright then, since you’re sincere, Kexin and I will accept," Annie said arrogantly, holding Wu Kexin’s arm with her head held high.
Chen Yang and Wu Kexin exchanged a glance, smiled, and shook their heads, then left the village office together and headed to the clinic.
At ho, Annie and Wu Kexin went to the backyard to bask in the sun and play with Wangcai.
Chen Yang prepared the al by himself.
Since there was plenty of food at ho, he didn’t need to prepare ingredients, making the cooking process very fast.
In just over half an hour, a few delicious dishes with color, fragrance, and taste were ready on the table.
"Kexin, Annie, the food’s ready."
After finishing cooking, Chen Yang called out towards the backyard.
"Coming."
Annie responded imdiately, then walked in with Wu Kexin hand in hand.
As soon as they entered, they sat down at the table effortlessly, without needing Chen Yang’s invitation.
Once at the table, the three of them ate naturally without any formalities.
This al was prepared with a lot of care by Chen Yang, and the flavors were excellent, making Annie and Wu Kexin very satisfied.
"Given this al, I won’t hold yesterday’s matter against you, but don’t let there be a next ti," Annie said seriously, arms crossed, staring at Chen Yang.
Chen Yang heard this and imdiately smiled and nodded.
"Alright, there definitely won’t be a next ti, don’t worry."
"Hehe, that’s more like it."
Annie smiled knowingly, then turned to continue talking with Wu Kexin.
"Kexin, no plans this afternoon, right? Shall we go to the orchard together? I’m telling you, it’s amazing, the orchard is starting to bear new fruits again," Annie said enthusiastically.
Wu Kexin initially planned to return to work after lunch.
But hearing this from Annie, she beca curious.
This season, the fruit trees should have already matured. To flower and bear fruit again should wait until next year.
She had never heard of trees bearing fruit again after already doing so once, so she agreed to Annie’s suggestion to take a break and have a look.
"Okay, let’s have a ten-minute break, then we set off," Annie suggested directly.
While sitting there, Chen Yang couldn’t help but laugh seeing Annie’s enthusiasm.
This girl really wanted to show Wu Kexin around, but most of her thoughts were probably about wanting to enjoy the delicious wild mandarin post-al fruits!
Chen Yang understood but didn’t expose Annie. After resting for ten minutes, Annie stood up promptly.
"Alright, ten minutes are up, ti to head out."
Annie announced.
Wu Kexin and Chen Yang heard her and stood up, locked the clinic, and planned to check out the orchard.
To see what the orchard looks like now.
However, halfway there, when passing the school construction site, Chen Yang, Wu Kexin, and Annie saw from afar that the workers had gathered in the middle of the site, chattering about sothing.
"At this ti, isn’t it work ti? Why isn’t everyone at their posts?"
Chen Yang said, puzzled.
Wu Kexin also noticed the situation: "Has sothing happened? Otherwise, they’re usually quite punctual."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang decided to go over to take a look.
Coincidentally, one of the site supervisors in the crowd saw Chen Yang and Wu Kexin outside the site.
Upon seeing Chen Yang, he imdiately ran over from the crowd.
"Chen... Boss Chen, there’s big trouble! While piling today, we unearthed another snake den," the supervisor said urgently as he reached Chen Yang.
Hearing it was another snake den, both Wu Kexin and Annie instinctively shuddered.
"What? Another snake den?"
Even Chen Yang was quite surprised.
"Yes, Boss Chen, today’s snake den is even bigger than yesterday’s, there are many snakes, people are now saying the site is cursed, and no one dares to work anymore," the supervisor said in a panic; clearly, he was also frightened.
Realizing the severity of the situation, Chen Yang didn’t say much to this supervisor and imdiately walked towards the site center.
Seeing this, Wu Kexin followed with Annie, pushing through the crowd to see the unearthed snake den.
