Fog Returns to the Capital

Chapter 109 Summons
The surroundings fell into dead silence.

Li Wu stood there, her face drained of color.

Without Xu Xiling's protection, Zhou Jinghuai's gaze fell directly on Li Wu's face.

A long silence followed.

Zhou Jinghuai finally spoke, "Let's go back."

Li Wu's heart suddenly trembled.

But the next second, Zhou Jinghuai reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her into the car.

……

After returning home, Li Wu was no longer allowed to go out. Even her identification documents were "kept" by Zhou Jinghuai.

If Li Wu cries, Zhou Jinghuai will make her cry even harder.

after the end.

Li Wu collapsed from exhaustion in Zhou Jinghuai's arms.

……

It was late at night, and the moonlight was dim.

Zhou Jinghuai carried the cleaned Li Wu back to bed and changed her into a comfortable nightgown. Then he tucked her in and sat quietly by the bed.

She must have cried too much just now; Li Wu's eyes were closed, her long, thick eyelashes were still wet, and her eyelids were slightly swollen. Her small face was still flushed with the afterglow of passion.

He stared at her quietly for a long time.

Zhou Jinghuai reached out, making the movement extremely gentle, and slowly stroked the corner of Li Wu's slightly red and swollen eyes with his fingertips.

She has a pair of very clean and beautiful eyes.

She's beautiful when she smiles, pure and radiant. Even when she cries... it's hard to look away.

From the moment I learned she had disappeared until I saw her in person at the station's lounge.

The faint panic deep in Zhou Jinghuai's heart slowly subsided.

Those in high positions should avoid showing their emotions, especially joy and anger.

Over the years, Zhou Jinghuai has rarely experienced such emotional fluctuations or even instability.

Now, however, he's starting to lose control over a young girl. Even Zhou Jinghuai himself finds it hard to believe when he thinks about it.

After watching Li Wu for an unknown amount of time, Zhou Jinghuai finally got up and went outside to smoke a cigarette. He rarely smoked, not because he was addicted, but because he often didn't need to.

Just as dawn was breaking, Zhou Jinghuai was summoned by his father.

It was Meng Dejiang who personally came to pick them up.

After listening.

Zhou Jinghuai stood under the eaves for a while, and after the faint smell of smoke on his body had completely dissipated, he turned around and went to the bedroom to take a look at Li Wu.

She was still fast asleep.

Zhou Jinghuai left after tucking the blanket around her.

……

Before dawn, the entire city was shrouded in a gray veil. There were very few vehicles and pedestrians on the road.

An hour later, the black executive car was stopped in front of a building. The area was heavily guarded, exuding an imposing and awe-inspiring atmosphere, making it impossible for ordinary people to approach.

Meng Dejiang stepped forward to negotiate and showed the relevant documents before being allowed to enter.

Originally, they were still some distance from the destination, but Zhou Jinghuai abandoned the car and walked there.

Meng Dejiang glanced at his expression, said nothing more, and simply followed him.

Until we were almost at the gate of the courtyard.

Having watched him grow up, Meng Dejiang whispered a reminder from behind, "Last night was no small matter; now countless eyes are watching you. Don't argue with your dad; speak politely."

Zhou Jinghuai paused for a moment in front of the courtyard gate, then strode in with his long legs.

Second floor, study.

Zhou Jinghuai stood outside the door, raised his hand and knocked twice. Only after hearing a response from inside did he push the door open and go in.

A figure stood behind the desk, refined and scholarly, upright and vigorous. He wore only a simple dark gray knit sweater and was writing something on the desk.

See this.

Zhou Jinghuai stood quietly to the side, waiting for him to finish writing.
