Chapter 893: Who Said You Have to Bring Something Back from a Business Trip

~5 min read 820 words

Fu Yan Cheng had driven over today: "You get in the car first; I'll put the things away."

Liu Chuxue stopped him: "Wait, let me sort the things first."

Hearing her say this, Fu Yan Cheng quickly set the carrying basket he was holding on the ground: "How should I sort them?"

Liu Chuxue was also a bit worried: "Do you have any cargo nets in your car?"

Fu Yan Cheng pondered for a moment: "I'll put the carrying basket in the trunk. There are a few sheets of kraft paper in the car; you sort them first, and I'll go find you a few cargo nets."

Liu Chuxue looked at the sky, which was about to turn dark: "Where can you find them at this time?"

Fu Yan Cheng smiled and pinched her cheek: "Don't worry, I have a way. You sort them first; I'll be right back."

Saying this, he ran toward the residential compound across the road.

Liu Chuxue finished sorting the things, leaving some behind to distribute to the office staff tomorrow morning, and planned to collect her New Year's welfare benefits before taking her leave.

Just as she finished sorting, she saw Fu Yan Cheng jogging back, holding a bundle of cargo nets in his hand: "Where did you find them?"

Fu Yan Cheng pointed at the residential compound across the way and spoke vaguely: "I know someone in that compound."

Liu Chuxue knew he was lying without even asking and deliberately teased him: "Tell me what that person's name is; I'll happen to be on my way back to work later and can return them."

Fu Yan Cheng looked left and right, saw no one paying attention to them, and, taking advantage of the dimming light, kissed Liu Chuxue on the cheek: "Xiaozu Sect, can't you just pretend to be confused?"

Liu Chuxue didn't expect the guy to suddenly attack: "You..."

Fu Yan Cheng, however, smiled and said: "I wanted to do this ever since I saw you downstairs at the office building. When I heard from the transport team that you encountered wolves, do you know how worried I was?"

Liu Chuxue placed her hand on his, which was busy packing things into the cargo nets: "Sorry to have made you worry."

Hearing her say this, Fu Yan Cheng said affectionately: "I don't want to restrict you; I just don't want you to encounter such dangerous things again."

Liu Chuxue nodded: "I understand."

She had felt it when she saw him downstairs at the office building earlier; it was just that there were too many people, so he couldn't do what he wanted to do.

After finishing packing the things and putting them back into the carrying basket, she loaded the rest into the car, and only then did they head toward Xiao Fu's house.

The car had just stopped at the entrance of Xiao Fu's house when Chunxiao came out to dump the slop: "Second Sister, you're back. Mom and Dad have been talking about you these past few days."

After speaking, she looked into the car: "You didn't bring anything back from your business trip?"

Liu Chuxue, who had been in a very good mood, suddenly felt anger rise in her heart: "Who said you have to bring something back from a business trip? Who said you have to bring something back from a business trip? Who said you have to bring something back from a business trip?"

"

Chunxiao said with an air of obviousness: "Didn't you bring something back when you went to Northeast China last time? Since you went to Inner Mongolia, you should at least bring some local specialties."

Now, not only Liu Chuxue, but even Fu Yan Cheng's face darkened: "Why don't you care whether your sister is tired from the business trip or whether it went smoothly? You open your mouth and demand things. Does she owe you?"

Xiao Fu heard the commotion outside and hurried out: "Liu Chuxue, you're back."

He then looked at Fu Yan Cheng: "How did you two meet?"

Fu Yan Cheng had been keeping close watch on Liu Chuxue's situation these past few days. Yesterday, he called Section Chief Li and learned that the transport team should be returning today. So, as soon as he received news of the team's return, he immediately ran over to pick her up. Knowing she had traveled to Inner Mongolia, he sought out an old comrade to inquire about the weather there. Upon learning it had started snowing, he became so anxious he felt a bit feverish.

If she hadn't returned, he would have considered driving over to find her.

After all, he had carried out a mission there and knew how cold Inner Mongolia's winters were and how dangerous they could be. Let alone encountering wolves at night, one could even encounter them during the day. Fortunately, she had returned safely and soundly.
