303 Wants
Zhao Zhan had a very deep sleep and not once did he have a nightmare. When he woke up, he saw Yue Jiaojiao lying by his side, entranced by a travel book.
“The room is a little dark, why didn't you light the oil lamp?”
“Oh, you're awake?” Yue Jiaojiao jumped in shock when she heard the sudden sound. “It's rare for you to sleep so soundly. I didn't want to wake you with the lights.”
Zhao Zhan put her notebook aside, turned over, and pulled his lover into his arms.
He had just woken up and still looked dazed. He buried his head in the crook of Yue Jiaojiao's neck and said in a raspy voice, “In the future, you won't have to worry about me. Be careful not to hurt your eyes.”
He was like a big child.
Yue Jiaojiao laughed and patted his back. “Alright, I'll remember this next time. I'll definitely light the oil lamp.”
The two of them cuddled in bed for a while.
“I'm going to cook something.” Zhao Zhan sat up and went to the cubicle to wash up before walking out. “It's almost time to eat.”
“There's no need to go. Madam Qin is already busy in the kitchen.” Yue Jiaojiao stepped on her shoes. “If you're not going to the workshop today, why don't you accompany me to Li Miao's house? She's going to give birth soon. I want to go and see her.”
At the mention of the soon-to-be-born baby, the two of them couldn't help but think of Chengfeng.
Zhao Zhan saw that his lover looked a little depressed. He walked over and said gently, “Yang Dashan's baby would need a gift. If you want to, we can bring them a big one when their baby is a month old.”
Ever since Chengfeng went to the mountains, Yue Jiaojiao would sometimes call out to him because she missed him.
In Zhao Zhan's eyes, he felt that his lover had lost her playmate. She was cooped up at home every day and looked very lonely without Chengfeng by her side.
“Maybe we can even have a baby on our own? Like a guard dog, of course only if you want to.”
Seeing that Yue Jiaojiao was still hesitating, Zhao Zhan continued, “The workshop is getting bigger and bigger. It's hard to say if people won't target our house. Madam Qin and Doctor Sun are also getting old. Having two dogs to guard the house can also protect you. I'll feel more secure when I leave the place.”
Zhao Zhan knew that there were no pets that could replace Chengfeng.
Still, what he said just now was also the truth. Recently, he had seen a few lines of footprints left by people when he was strolling outside the courtyard in the morning.
“I'll think about it.”
Yue Jiaojiao didn't agree immediately. She held Zhao Zhan's hand and walked towards Li Miao's house. Just then, Madam Qin came out of the kitchen and saw the two of them walking side by side. She smiled and instructed them, “Dinner will be ready in an hour. Remember to come back by then.”
“We will.”
Yue Jiaojiao raised her hand and gave a casual wave before leaving.
“Jiaojiao?”
Li Miao was standing in the yard with his hands on his waist. When he saw Yue Jiaojiao, he shouted, “You came at the perfect time! The pups have already been born. They were born this afternoon.”
“That quick?”
Yue Jiaojiao let go of Zhao Zhan's hand and quickly ran into her family's courtyard.
The four puppies had just opened their eyes and were lying quietly beside their mother.
“Zhao Zhan, look at them.”
There were two puppies that were almost pure white. One had a little yellow on the tips of its ears, while the other had four yellow paws. Other than these two, there was a yellow spot puppy and a pure yellow puppy.
Yue Jiaojiao squatted at the side, her eyes sparkling like stars.
Zhao Zhan stood by her side, looking down at her expression with a gentle gaze. He then turned to Li Miao and asked, “Are you planning to raise these puppies yourself or give them away?”
“I'm planning to give them away.” Li Miao looked at Yue Jiaojiao, as if she was pampering her own child. “I'm going to have two more children soon, and I won't have the energy to raise so many kids around.”
“Actually…” Li Miao said softly. She was too heavy to squat down. “If you'd agree, I can take care of them for you now. I'll send it to you when they're a month old. When the time comes, you can have them at home to guard the house.”
Yue Jiaojiao nodded. “That would be best, thank you. But I haven't decided on which two I want.”
She was a little conflicted. The four puppies were all very cute and couldn't be picked out.
Li Miao couldn't help but laugh. “There's no rush even if you can't pick them out now. We'll see their character in a few days, and then we'll choose two of them that will best fit you.”
“Thank you!”
Zhao Zhan's serious face also revealed a smile when he saw Jiaojiao's enthusiasm.
After spending an hour at Li Miao's house, Zhao Zhan brought Yue Jiaojiao home, worried that Madam Qin would be waiting for dinner.
Just as he reached the door, he smacked his head and remembered what he had been thinking about before he went to bed.
“Jiaojiao!”
Zhao Zhan grabbed her wrist and stopped at the door.
“What's wrong?”
Yue Jiaojiao raised her head to look at him, her face full of doubt. “Did you forget something at Li Miao's house? ”
“No, not that,” Zhao Zhan deliberated over his words and carefully held Yue Jiaojiao's hand, “I'm planning to go on a long journey.
Yue Jiaojiao's face was expressionless. “Is it because of Wagler? Are you going to follow them?”
“No…”
After the first sentence, the rest of the sentence was much smoother. “After Wagler and the others get the goods from me, they have to first transfer to Bei City. Of course, they will also continuously buy and sell goods along the way.
“I plan to travel around with them for a while. I'll turn back when I reach Bei City and go no further than that.”
Yue Jiaojiao looked at him without blinking.
Zhao Zhan's back was covered in sweat.
His lover suddenly opened her mouth and said in a reproachful tone, “Zhao Zhan, do you think I'm st*pid? I can see you visibly lying, I know that you're heading for the Lin family.”
Lin Chenzhi was a vile person.
Now, because of their cooperation, this villain has become more and more confident in Bei City.
They had tried to probe the servant that Lin Chenzhi had left behind several times, but he still failed to find out what had happened to the Lin family last year about the uncle and aunt who had always doted on Yue Jiaojiao.
Why did they suddenly turn against each other, find a criminal to harm her, and even try to steal her dowry?
It was impossible for Lin Chenzhi to have done this behind the Lin family's back.
The value of her dowry was so high that even if Shang's business fell to the bottom, he could use the money to save his business.
Lin Chenzhi couldn't have done it flawlessly without anyone noticing if he wanted such a large sum of silver to enter the Lin family.
“Zhao Zhan, have you been waiting for this day for a long time?”
Zhao Zhan tacitly agreed.
Lin Chenzhi was a rock in his heart that could not be removed that easily. The Lin family was a thorn in his side.
No medicine would work on this illness, so he could only treat it himself. If he didn't get rid of the Lin family, he couldn't live without any worries.
“Going to Bei City with Wagler is a good opportunity to see the situation for myself,” Zhao Zhanhe said, no longer hiding anything. “I can use Wagler's conceal my true purpose of being there. This way, I won't attract their attention.”
The foreign merchants wanted to tear down a piece of territory in Bei City.
He had to plan carefully before taking action and couldn't be careless.
