Chapter 617: Chen Xun, in the next life, when you see me, run away quickly

"Alright." Li Zai made a note in his notebook.

The group exited the room. Now that Zhang Cheng and Han Xiao had both bought houses in this residential complex, they were no longer crowded together. Yun Mo and Yun Shu each had their own room; one reason was that they lacked money, and the other was that they were on a mission and had to stay by An Yinan's side.

"Tired, aren't you?" Chen Xun pulled her back to the bedroom, let her lie on his lap, and then massaged her temples.

Complex calculations required the consumption of a great deal of mental energy; every single day, her brain was running at high speed.

It looked like she was just sitting there all day, with no physical labor at all, but the turning of her brain consumed even more.

"Xunge, it's almost time." An Yinan spoke silently. Yes, it was almost time.

It had appeared. Given the nature of the capital behind it, this stock would reach its end in six months at the earliest.

This time, it was truly almost time.

Chen Xun's hand, which was massaging her temples, paused. "I'm here with you."

He couldn't give her advice, but he would protect her from the front, stay with her, and wait for her.

An Yinan emptied her mind. The appearance of the Joker—right, this stock, the code name given to it by capital was Joker.

The appearance of the Joker caused a huge change in her mood: excitement, but also longing. She wanted to see what it looked like when capital fell through, and she wanted to see him end up with nothing at all.

"Xunge, I want to go home." An Yinan murmured. Her voice was very, very soft, carrying a touch of playfulness and a touch of something ethereal.

Chen Xun's hand did not stop; he gently rubbed her forehead, letting her head relax.

"Whenever you say we go back, we go back." Chen Xun's voice was also soft. For so many years, they hadn't spent much time guarding each other; instead, the time spent on missions had become the most time they had together.

An Yinan smiled lightly, turned her whole body over, and sat straight up.

"Chen Xun, in the next life, when you see me, run away quickly."

An Yinan and Chen Xun sat facing each other. She had a playful look on her face, wearing an expression rarely seen by others, with a faint smile on her face. It seemed like she was joking, but what she said was also from the heart.

"Why?"

Chen Xun mimicked her, raising an eyebrow. His large-flowered short sleeves gave him a bit of a roguish air.

An Yinan burst into laughter, her whole body swaying left and right. Chen Xun helplessly reached out, afraid she would fall off.

"I'm so busy that I don't have time to properly date you, nor do I have time to be a wife who waits for you to come home, and I'm certainly not a good mother. In the next life, if you don't run, are you waiting to be bullied by me?" An Yinan said with a smile. The words she spoke were so matter-of-fact; in her heart, that was exactly what she believed.

If she were a man, she certainly wouldn't marry a woman like herself.

Chen Xun gently pinched her nose, his whole expression one of faint amusement, and he did not answer her question.

"In the next life, you shouldn't marry someone like me either. Every day is either a mission or on the way to a mission. I can't look after you when you're pregnant, and I can't look after you when you give birth. If it weren't for this mission, I would have known nothing while you were in the pain of labor."

"I'm so busy that you have to handle all the chores at home yourself. The annual family visit leave is only a few days, and a lifetime's salary might not even be worth as much as a small pill."

"Is a man like me particularly useless?"

Chen Xun looked at Nan Nan thoughtfully, waiting for her answer.

He saw his wife frown, then point at Chen Xun and say, "You are not allowed to say that about yourself."

"You are a hero. It is because you are at the front that I can be so at ease."

"How can you say that about yourself?"

Chen Xun looked at her with a smile. "Look, you know it yourself."

"Because it is you, I can be like this."

"Look, when we are together, we have both become the best people. Since we both have so many shortcomings, then in the next life, let's be together again. Don't go and harm anyone else."

After Chen Xun finished speaking, the hand that had just pinched her nose took hold of her hand.

An Yinan raised her head, looked at this man, and finally revealed a smile.

She stretched out both hands, wrapped them around Chen Xun's neck, knelt on the bed, and gently kissed his lips. They carried the scent of oranges; he must have just eaten an orange.

"Why are you so good?"

To be able to meet someone who understands you and supports you unconditionally is truly too difficult.

She had always known her own shortcomings, but asking her to stop her footsteps was also an impossible thing.

She had always believed that she came with a mission. She wanted to protect the people she wanted to protect, wanted to change some things, and wanted to prove that she had been here.

"Because you are good." Chen Xun wrapped his arms around her waist, held her waist, and let her lie directly on the bed.

Chen Xun leaned over her.

"Hey, sir, I may be good, but you can't be like this. I am a married woman, you know! If you treat me like this, my husband will be unhappy!"

The appearance of that stock today had left her feeling unsettled and inexplicably on edge.

But now that she had regained her composure, she immediately returned to her original mischievous self.

"Oh? Is that so? Whether he is happy or not, what does that have to do with me? As long as we are happy, isn't that enough?" Chen Xun played along with her performance, though his rough, large hands couldn't help but stroke her slender, delicate waist.

An Yinan curled her lips, then pulled his collar. "Man, your values are twisted!"

Chen Xun chuckled. The girl before him had always been in his heart. From the second time they met, he had taken her to heart and didn't want to miss out on her.

He had never felt that heart-fluttering sensation before.

That time he saved her, seeing her confrontation with the Japanese, his heart had fluttered.

He didn't know if it was the fluttering of love or the fluttering of fear, but none of that mattered anymore.

What mattered was... once this heart moved, he knew it was for a lifetime.

"I learned it from my wife." Chen Xun teased her, looking at his wife with an expression full of doting affection.

An Yinan rolled her eyes. "Your wife is so innocent! It's clearly you who have twisted intentions."

Chen Xun lowered his head, leaned against her ear, and then said in a low, deep voice with a distinct flavor, "Oh? Is that so? So it turns out I have twisted intentions."

As soon as he finished speaking, a light kiss landed on her earlobe, bringing about a tingling sensation.

An Yinan's eyes blinked, and she tried to pretend to be calm, but her bright red earlobe had already betrayed her emotions.

After being married for many years, even with children, his wife was still as shy and timid as the first time.

"I am a bad person." Chen Xun's voice was like it had a hook, hooking at people's hearts and making them itch.

An Yinan reached out and pinched his waist.
