Glancing again at Zhao Xinmei pretending to sleep on the bed, Chen Bin got up and said to Ma Juan.
"Baby, I have to head back. You should sleep too."
"Okay, goodnight, hubby!"
Ma Juan hugged Chen Bin and gave him a kiss before reluctantly pulling the blanket back over herself.
Returning to his own room, Chen Bin was utterly drained.
He lay down on the bed and soon fell asleep.
The next morning, the three of them sat at the dining table for breakfast, pretending as if nothing had happened.
Days of tranquility passed by, and it was soon time for work again.
Back in Qinghe Town, Chen Bin received a call from Cao Sanjin, saying experts from the Imperial Capital had already set out and would likely arrive that night.
Chen Bin eagerly replied, assuring that the welcoming arrangements would be perfect.
That evening, he had Cheng Zhuang drive him to Tianhai Airport, where he personally picked them up and brought them to Qinghe Town.
