Chapter 353: Departure

"Sister-in-law said you left in such a hurry, I was afraid something urgent had happened, so I waited outside for a while," Chen Xun said.

"Nan Nan is back?" Sister-in-law also let out a sigh of relief.

That hurried appearance from just before made it hard not to worry, and it was late now; since she hadn't returned yet, she was also afraid that something had happened to Nan Nan.

An Yinan said, "I've made you worry, Sister-in-law."

Sister-in-law hurriedly waved her hand; she had actually been a bit worried, afraid that Nan Nan would think she was being meddlesome.

But it was late, and she was truly worried about her going out looking like that.

Although the recent complete clearing out of that gang had made many people hold back, this was Yangcheng after all; it was too chaotic, and there were far too many people who would risk their lives for money.

"Good, good, it's good that you're back, you two hurry upstairs," Sister-in-law said.

The young couple went upstairs, and Chen Xun rubbed An Yinan's hair, "Nan Nan, I might have to leave tomorrow."

"The mission is over? Are you going back?" An Yinan wasn't surprised; after all, their mission was already complete, and Chen Xun and the others had been writing mission reports these past few days.

This wasn't the Northeast Military Region, after all; it wasn't his own territory.

"No!" Chen Xun unexpectedly denied it.

"A new mission has come in, we are departing directly from Yangcheng," Chen Xun said.

That was all he could say.

And An Yinan also knew it was another mission she couldn't ask about, so she didn't open her mouth.

"Don't worry about me, I'm taking the train tomorrow and heading straight back to Beijing; I'm very safe in Beijing."

"You must be careful when you're on your mission, you can't be distracted."

An Yinan comforted him in turn.

She knew that the only person Chen Xun could be this worried about now was herself.

The accident on the train this time also made him realize that An Yinan couldn't be left without someone by her side.

"Nan Nan, have you thought about finding a bodyguard?" Chen Xun asked.

An Yinan's mind hadn't quite turned the corner yet, "What?"

Weren't they talking about staying safe?

How did it switch to finding a bodyguard so quickly?

Chen Xun pinched her little face, "You consider it; after all, your mission at the Compilation Bureau is already about finished."

"With your temperament, Yun Shu and Yun Mo have likely already made plans."

"But you cannot be without someone by your side."

Chen Xun understood her.

Just as she understood Chen Xun.

She hadn't actually discussed this issue with Chen Xun, yet he had seen it, or perhaps he had sensed it between the lines of what she said.

"I will consider it," An Yinan said.

Although she didn't care herself, she couldn't let everyone worry.

If there were someone by her side, would they be able to rest easy?

Whether it was the Yun Family or Chen Xun, they were all too concerned about her safety.

That night, Chen Xun did nothing, only holding An Yinan in his arms, quite tightly.

He didn't say much, but a careful person would certainly be able to feel his intense emotions through his actions.

Early the next morning, Chen Xun left.

Before leaving, he kissed her forehead.

An Yinan opened her eyes, but he covered them with his hand; her eyes could speak, and they would make him stay.

"You sleep, we have to depart early," Chen Xun said.

An Yinan gave a soft "Mm."

She didn't say anything else; the things she wanted to say had already been said yesterday.

She knew he remembered them all.

There was no need to say them again now; he was off to build his own magnificent landscape.

An Yinan wasn't idle in the afternoon either; she went out to stroll around and bought gifts for her friends and family.

When she returned, she also brought a jar of Snow Cream for Sister-in-law.

"I can't take this, how could I let you spend your money!" Sister-in-law refused.

An Yinan said, "Sister-in-law, these past few days I've been here, it's all thanks to your care; many things I didn't know, you taught me."

"Just accept it."

"I bought this specifically for you."

"You work and handle water every day, you have to take good care of your hands."

An Yinan wouldn't take no for an answer, shoved the item to Sister-in-law, and went "tap-tap-tap" upstairs.

Sister-in-law looked at the jar of Snow Cream in her arms, feeling extremely comforted.

She had taken care of no fewer than a hundred or two hundred military wives, if not several dozen.

If one were to talk about being sensible and understanding, it really was Nan Nan.

An Yinan was leaving tomorrow too; tomorrow she planned to go to the warehouse, and after clearing out the goods, she would return the warehouse.

Moreover, the semi-finished goods were about done; once she returned to Beijing, the workshop there would also need to start getting busy.

"Nan Nan should be back soon, right?" Xie Yuanyuan was in the courtyard, wiping away dust.

Li Xiue looked up from the accounts, "How many days has she been gone?"

She didn't even leave word, and there was no movement on the phone; although their Xiao Yuan didn't have a phone, the Yun Family had one, and Liu Jiumu's house had one too—to be so quiet and soundless, it really made people worry!

"It's been five days, right? You know what kind of personality Nan Nan has."

"Once you let her out, she gets busy and forgets everything."

"It's a good thing she's quite smart," Zhao Qiuhua said helplessly for a while.

Nan Nan has a mind of her own, and she is also very bold.

Logically speaking, she shouldn't be the type to go it alone, after all, Beibei has been by her side since they were young.

But that is just her personality; she likes to be on her own and always forgets that everyone will worry about her.

I don't know how this personality of hers was formed.

"When she gets back, we must have a word with her; she didn't even send word that she was safe," Li Xiue said.

Xie Yuanyuan was also somewhat helpless; her situation here depended on the status of the factory on Nan Nan's side, and now that there was no news, she could only wait.

But they would never have guessed that when An Yinan returned tomorrow, she would bring them such a huge surprise.

She went to sleep very early that night, but she had grown accustomed to a warm embrace by her side these past few days, and today she felt quite unaccustomed to it.

People really shouldn't be too delicate! An Yinan sighed continuously in her heart.

The weather today wasn't very good; it was a bit stifling, as if it were about to rain.

An Yinan didn't have many things, and she only had a backpack with her.

The production lines in the workshop were already scheduled, otherwise, she would have wanted to arrange for a batch of bags to be made to match the clothes.

"Sister-in-law, I'm checking out," An Yinan said with a cheerful smile.

During these days in Yangcheng, she had met quite a few people, and everyone had helped her a great deal.

"You must come over to visit often," the sister-in-law also said with a smile, urging her.

"When you come to Yangcheng in the future, come stay here again; this place is right next to the Military District, so bad people don't dare to come near."

An Yinan nodded, "Okay."

She left, with all her belongings stored in her space; she only had one backpack, and inside the bag was actually just one book.

However, she had also put in a bottle of asthma inhaler with the markings scrubbed off.

The reason she didn't give it on the first day was mainly because the bottle had a brand and a date on it, especially the date; if that were released, it would be a big deal.

She had scrubbed all the patterns and text clean, and today it was finally finished.
