After chatting for a bit, Song Chaoyang closed his eyes to rest. Li Rui drove Car No. 1 on the highway at a fixed speed, maintaining a high speed of 119km/h. Car No. 1 sped to the provincial capital. After entering the provincial capital, Song Chaoyang opened his eyes and looked at the city outside in a daze. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked with a smile, "Are you still going to Qingman's tonight?"
In fact, Li Rui had spent the night at Lu Qingman's without Song Chaoyang and Sun Shuqin's knowledge. He regretted it afterward. No matter how much they loved each other, they were not married yet. They had only known each other for a few months, so it was not a glorious thing to live together. It was not a big deal that he would be embarrassed and made fun of, but he was afraid that it would affect Qingman's reputation and make her a laughingstock.
Of course, in modern society, it was not a big deal for unmarried men and women to live together. However, the main problem was that Qingman was not an ordinary woman. Her father was the Executive Deputy Governor of Shannan Province. There were many people with ulterior motives in the provincial capital who were watching the father and daughter, hoping that they would have some scandals. It was very likely that someone would use the fact that he lived with Qingman as a biological weapon to attack Lu Zhouxing in the official and political circles. Even if it could not hurt him, it would be good to make him lose face.
He had to be careful about this. As a responsible man, he had to consider not only Qingman's reputation, but also Lu Zhouxing's reputation.
Thinking of this, he shook his head and said, "No, I won't spend the night at her place before we get married. I'll stay at your place tonight. " Song Chaoyang originally thought that if he still wanted to spend the night at Lu Qingman's place, he would try to dissuade him. Now that he had taken the initiative to not go, he was both relieved and surprised. He thought that this young man and woman were both emotional, energetic, and impulsive. They were like dry firewood in a raging fire, burning together as soon as they met. How could they be separated? Moreover, he and Qingman were in different places and could only see each other once in a while. They should be together as long as there was a chance. Why was he willing to give up such a good opportunity? He asked with interest, "Oh? Did you have a fight with Qingman? "
Li Rui smiled and shook his head, "No. I didn't. I was afraid that it would affect Qingman's reputation and Governor Lu's reputation. Actually, the last time I went to her house, she was staying in the same room as me. " Song Chaoyang didn't pay attention to the latter part of his explanation. He nodded and said, "It's good that you think this way. I believe that if Governor Lu knew of your intentions, he would be very relieved. "
When they arrived at the Song residence, Sun Shuqin was already waiting for them. Song Chaoyang inspected her ankle in front of Li Rui. It was already white and greasy, and there were no major problems.
Li Rui gave Sun Shuqin the medicinal plasters he had bought and said, "Teacher Sun, these medicinal plasters were a bit late. But you can keep them well. If you sprain them again in the future, just apply them. " Sun Shuqin saw that he was also concerned about her ankle injury and felt a little touched. However, she felt that his words were not pleasing to the ear and said angrily, "Good for you, Xiao Rui. Are you cursing me to continue spraining my ankle? Haha. " Li Rui knew that she was joking with him. He smiled and waved his hand, "No, no, of course not. I want Teacher Sun to be safe and healthy every day. It's just that I don't know how to speak. Haha, don't mind me. Just keep these medicinal plasters as your daily medicine. I hope you will never need them. "
Song Chaoyang also smiled and said, "Shuqin, arrange a room for Xiao Rui." Sun Shuqin was a bit surprised. She looked at Li Rui and asked, "Aren't you going to Qingman's place?"
Li Ruixin felt depressed. He had only stayed at Qingman's place once in front of her, and nothing intimate had happened. This big sister already felt that it was right and proper for him to stay with Qingman. In her heart, he must have already done something with Qingman. This was not a good sign. He smiled and said, "I'm not going."
Sun Shuqin was puzzled and said, "Why not? Did you quarrel with her? " Li Rui smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher Sun, no wonder you and Song Shuji are a couple. The two of you are really telepathic. The questions you ask are exactly the same."
Song Chaoyang smiled and said, "Shuqin, don't ask so many questions. Quickly go and prepare a room for Xiao Rui."
Sun Shuqin looked at Li Rui suspiciously and did not ask any more questions. She went upstairs to prepare a room. After she was done, she called him up and said, "You can stay in this room." Li Rui smiled and said, "Why do I have to stay at her place?" Sun Shuqin smiled and said, "Because the two of you are a couple." Li Rui said, "How can that be? We aren't even engaged yet." Sun Shuqin said, "It's just a matter of time. You haven't seen her for a long time. She must have missed you a long time ago. "
Li Rui could only smile bitterly and did not explain much. He said, "Can you get me another set of toiletries? I'll go to bed after washing up." Sun Shuqin said, "I've already prepared them. The blue toothbrush and the blue toothbrush in the bathroom are yours. The dark red towel hanging there is also yours. They're all new." Li Rui said, "You're so thoughtful. Haha, thank you."
The two of them chatted for a while before Sun Shuqin went downstairs. Li Rui went to the bathroom to wash up but did not take a shower. He went back to his room and closed the door, preparing to go to bed.
Of course, before going to bed, he still had to give Lu Qingman a call.
When she heard that he had rushed to the provincial capital and had free time at night but did not come to accompany her, Lu Qingman threw a tantrum. "What are you thinking? Why don't you come? Do you not love me anymore? " Li Rui explained, "My dear wife, it's because I love you that I can't go …" He explained his concerns. Lu Qingman felt that what he said made sense and almost could not refute it. However, she still wanted to see him. She said coquettishly, "You came here secretly. Who would know?" Li Rui laughed. "Dear, there's no such thing as being open or secret. As long as I go to your place for the night, people will definitely know. Have you forgotten? Previously, when the two of us were out shopping, we didn't even know when Gao Dongdong found us? He came to our door. Think about it. How many people like Gao Dongdong are keeping an eye on you and Uncle Lu? I have to be careful. "
Lu Qingman said resentfully, "How can there be so many people watching me? Do they have nothing better to do?" Li Rui said, "I'll go over to accompany you tomorrow morning. Be good and have a good rest tonight." Lu Qingman said angrily, "Just come over." Li Rui laughed and said, "If I go over, will you still want to sleep tonight?" Lu Qingman knew what he meant. She pretended to be confused and asked, "Why can't I sleep?" Li Rui said, "Because I won't let you sleep." Lu Qingman asked shyly, "Why won't you let me sleep? Am I in your way? " Li Rui said in a low voice, "Because when I see you, I can't help but want to hug you and be intimate with you. Once we're intimate, there's no end to it. No matter what, it's not enough. Don't sleep. "
Lu Qingman heard his words and was a little expectant. She said in a low voice, "Then I won't sleep." How could Li Rui not understand her attitude? He was overjoyed, but he smiled bitterly and said, "My baby, in any case, I won't be going over tonight. I already told Song Shuji and Teacher Sun that I won't be staying at your place. Teacher Sun has already tidied up a room for me. If I go back on my words now, how can I? Won't they laugh at me? " Lu Qingman asked curiously, "Why are you laughing at me?" Li Rui said, "Unmarried cohabitation, do you think it sounds good?" Lu Qingman said angrily, "Anyway, you're not coming over tonight, right?" Li Rui said, "En, I'm not coming over. Tomorrow, I'll bring a bramble and ask for punishment." Lu Qingman was so angry that she directly hung up the phone.
Although Li Rui saw her throwing a tantrum, he was not angry at all. Instead, he was very happy. This was because he could see her feelings for him. She really missed him. Unfortunately, it was not convenient for him to go over and accompany her. He could only wait until tomorrow morning to apologize.
After he turned off the lights, he lay on the mattress. For the time being, he couldn't sleep. He thought about the big case of the Heiyao Gully Coal Mine. At half past nine, Zhuang Haixia, who was far away in Beijing, sent him a text message. "Is it convenient? I'll give you a call."
Li Rui guessed that she wanted to ask about the progress of the case. He casually called her back and told her about what he had learned today. He also told her about the doubts in his heart. In the end, he asked, "Reporter Zhuang Haixia, you're experienced and knowledgeable. You can give me a detailed analysis. It's not because of the mine accident, but they still wanted to silence the witnesses to cover for the two provincial leaders. What other possibilities are there?" Zhuang Haixia laughed at herself and said, "I'm experienced and knowledgeable? You're flattering too much, aren't you? If I'm really experienced and knowledgeable, would I be caught by the evil security guards of the Heiyao Gully Coal Mine? " Li Rui said, "Even if you're not experienced and knowledgeable, it's okay. You're exceptionally smart. Help me think."
