Chapter 85 Sincere Feelings
After returning to Xingyang City to rest for a day, Master Xu Gongyi contacted Master Qianhe again to say that the matter had been resolved and he no longer needed to rush to help. Master Qianhe inquired about the details carefully and learned that Chen Cheng had accidentally broken the formation, which increased his curiosity about Chen Cheng.
The city leaders arranged a lavish banquet and served national liquor that evening, which relieved them of a major worry. The country had invested so much manpower, material resources, and financial resources; if the operation had continued to fail, the consequences for these leaders were unimaginable. As a result, they were even more attentive to these esteemed individuals from 709, serving them tea and wine. Chen Cheng originally wanted to eat and drink freely, but seeing the high-handed attitude of Master Xu Gongyi and the others, he could only eat and drink a little politely.
The next morning, the group declined the local leaders' warm invitation to stay, said goodbye, and drove off. On the way, Chen Cheng enthusiastically suggested that they stay overnight in Xi'an before leaving. The three readily agreed. Chen Cheng was overjoyed and immediately took out his phone to text Zhang Qian. She was also very happy to learn that her sweetheart would be returning that night. She immediately booked three rooms at a very nice hotel and a private room at a famous restaurant in Xi'an.
Around six o'clock, the car exited the highway. Chen Cheng saw an SUV with its hazard lights on by the roadside in the distance, and standing next to the car was the woman he had been thinking about day and night in the formation.
As the car approached, everyone knew that this was Chen Cheng's girlfriend, so they all got out of the car to shake hands with her. Chen Cheng introduced her, saying that Zhang Qian was not only beautiful but also had a great temperament. Wen Miao, who was also a woman, not only praised her for her beauty but also praised Chen Cheng for his good taste, which made Chen Cheng grin from ear to ear.
Chen Cheng got into Zhang Qian's SUV, took her hand and said, "Qianqian, it feels like I haven't seen you in ages. I've missed you so much!"
"I miss you as well".
Zhang Qian smiled gently at him, but she was actually overjoyed inside.
Having been trapped in this formation for so long, it truly felt like a lifetime had passed. Looking at the young, beautiful woman driving with a smile on her face, he couldn't help but tighten his grip on her hand, as if he would lose her if he let go.
"Cheng-ge, how did the mission go? You seem a bit strange today, like we've been apart for ages."
Zhang Qian turned her head and glanced at him before speaking.
"Let's talk about it when I get home tonight."
Zhang Qian blushed and glared at him.
"What I meant was that I would explain this task to you when we get home tonight. What are you thinking? Hehe, your face is even red!"
"Get lost! You make me angry the moment we meet!"
"My wife looks really good when she's angry."
"Pfft..."
Zhang Qian, who was feigning anger, couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.
"I don't want to be your wife, I want to be your woman!"
"What's the difference? Don't you both have to sleep with me?"
Zhang Qian blushed and pinched his arm with her small hand: "Pervert, bad guy."
Chen Cheng took her hand again, kissed it gently, and the two finally calmed down.
To save face for her man, Zhang Qian ordered a table full of dishes and brought out several bottles of good wine from home, pouring them for everyone. She really acted like Chen Cheng's virtuous wife. There were no outsiders present, and Chen Cheng encouraged everyone to eat and drink freely. Following local etiquette, he and Zhang Qian toasted the three of them one by one until they were slightly tipsy, at which point the dinner ended.
The thoughtful Zhang Qian had already arranged for a designated driver to take Master Xu Gongyi and the other two to the hotel before returning to her sweet little home with Chen Cheng.
Both of them had been drinking. Although Zhang Qian hadn't drunk much, her face was flushed, leaving Chen Cheng stunned. After a passionate kiss, Zhang Qian struggled to push him away and went to take a shower. Chen Cheng, however, couldn't wait any longer, stripped naked, and rushed into the bathroom with a loud "whoosh!" Immediately, Zhang Qian screamed in surprise. And then... nothing more.
The next day, the two were sleeping soundly in each other's arms when a buzzing vibration woke Chen Cheng up. He had been passionate and excited the night before, and he didn't know how long he had been making love with Zhang Qian until she begged him to stop. He then held her tightly and fell into a deep sleep.
I picked up my phone and saw that it was a message from Daoist Xu Gongyi.
"Xiao Cheng, thank you and Zhang Qian for your hospitality. We've already set off. When you have time, bring her to the capital for a visit."
"Okay, Mr. Xu, have a safe trip!"
He put down his phone, looked at the delicate face of the woman in his arms, which was both shy and angry, and couldn't help but kiss her lips. But Zhang Qian was too tired last night, and only moved symbolically without waking up.
Chen Cheng, on the other hand, was full of energy. He had Taoist qi protecting him, and he could recover after a short rest. He wanted to smoke, but he didn't dare, afraid of choking Zhang Qian. He didn't dare to move at all, so he took out his phone, opened Tomato Novels, and started reading the medium-length novel "Divine Eyes: Seeing Through All Things" written by "Protecting You with My Beloved". He envied the protagonist in the novel, but he didn't have that ability. Besides, if he dared to find so many women, Zhang Qian would definitely kill him.
Zhang Qian didn't wake up until after 11 a.m. When she opened her eyes, she recalled the two of them being so passionate last night—in the bathroom, on the sofa, on the bed. Oh my god, it was so embarrassing! Thinking of Chen Cheng, whom she both loved and hated, she couldn't help but gently bite his chest.
"Are you awake?"
Chen Cheng looked at the woman who was biting him with a wicked grin.
"Pervert, scoundrel, bullying people as soon as we meet, my whole body aches and hurts."
"Would you let me if I went to bully others?"
"You dare."
"Then will you let me bully you?"
"Me? Hmph..."
Unable to argue with him, Zhang Qian opened her mouth and bit his chest again.
"You said I was bullying you? You bit me as soon as you woke up, without even asking if my arm was tired from holding you all night. You bit me, so I'm going to bite you back!"
After saying that, Chen Cheng picked her up and gently bit her.
"Ugh, um, you bad guy, you bastard, Makoto, I was wrong..."
Zhang Qian felt a tingling sensation all over her body. She sensed him raising his gun again, full of fighting spirit, and immediately gave in, begging for mercy in a coquettish manner.
Chen Cheng was just teasing her and didn't make any further advances, which relieved Zhang Qian. However, she was still upset and they played around for a while before she got up and went to the bathroom.
Chen Cheng had nothing to do these past two days, and Zhang Qian's team had also solved a major case, so she took two days off to spend with him. She happily accompanied him like a little wife, shopping for groceries and cooking. During this time, Chen Cheng thought that if he hadn't used the golden talisman in the great formation, he could have helped her change her fate by now.
"Sisi, how about you come with me to the capital tomorrow?"
During lunch, Chen Cheng said, "The sooner we get this done, the sooner we can have peace of mind."
"Yes, you can go anywhere as long as you're happy."
"So well-behaved?"
"This is because you behaved well. If you keep irritating me, I won't bother with you."
Zhang Qian said with a grin.
Just then, her phone rang on the table. Chen Cheng, with his sharp eyes, saw that the name was Lingzhu. He thought of the Lingzhu that Lin Zihan had mentioned, which must be another of Zhang Qian's best friends.
"Where are you, my love?"
A soft, sweet female voice came through the phone.
"I'm eating at home, what's wrong, Lingzhu?"
"It's okay, it's been a long time since I've seen you. Let's get together with Zihan tonight."
"Sure, Chen Cheng is here, let's go together."
"Chen Cheng? That little charlatan?"
