Chapter 441: Who Cares about You
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
In a lengthy, white skirt, Yan Zheke stood in the night breeze, refined and elegant .
She was first stunned by Lou Cheng's words, but the astonishment was soon replaced by a smile, her eyes curved, chin raised a little, hair flying, and dimples deep .
"You think that's enough to please me?"
Her hands reached out to that bag of Linbian special products and she began browsing curiously .
"I'm not trying to please my lovely wife . " Lou Cheng chuckled and continued to express his feelings, "Wherever I go, the first thing that comes to my mind is what is fun, pretty, or delicious that I can share with my Ke . As soon as I was done today, this idea popped out, but I didn't have time to shop around . I searched online and bought these . . . "
Listening to her ex-boyfriend and current husband, Yan Zheke's eyes became watery and the corners of her mouth curved upward . She felt a little bit shy and lowered her head subconsciously, looking at the osmanthus pie, matsutake jam, and local special fruits .
From the corner of her eye, she saw another bag in Lou Cheng's left hand . Smart as she was, she easily changed the topic .
"This is for your parents?"
"Yeah . . . . My mom was complaining about me going to Linbian without a word over the phone . Yesterday, I told her I really missed her cooking, but today I couldn't go home in time for dinner," answered Lou Cheng with a smile .
He had bought two of everything .
"You told your mom you were going to Linbian?" asked Yan Zheke, surprised .
"A quick mention . I told her my master sent me to take care of a minor matter and promised to come back quickly . " Lou Cheng paused to find the right words . "That was what I thought . Linbian isn't the safest place compared to Songcheng and Huahai, but nothing serious happens there most of the time . "
He didn't have time to explain everything on the phone . Now he found it necessary to tell her everything as they were married and were responsible for each other's futures . His life was no longer just his .
"You don't have to tell me this . I'm not blaming you . " Yan Zheke bit her bottom lip gently, her voice caring and loving . "You have officially become a disciple of your master and a member of a faction, so of course you'll have to deal with all sorts of tasks . Many relatives of mine are from the Shushan Study . Such things take place often . Usually, tasks from the faction are simple and safe . If a task can't be done by a disciple at the body refining stage, it will be given to a Dan stage member . If it still can't be completed, a capable disciple at the Inhuman stage will be assigned . If he fails, a Mighty One with Physical Invulnerability will be put on the task . In case it is not safe for a Mighty One with Physical Invulnerability, they probably won't insist on doing this mission .
"When you told me you were heading to Linbian for a minor faction matter, I was concerned about the bad reputation about public security in the city . That's why I told you to not pull back in case of an emergency . I didn't want you to wreck in a ditch . I do worry about you, but I'm fine with it .
"Then the minor matter became more serious, which was beyond your control . You told me immediately and acted with caution and confidence . . . "
Yan Zheke suddenly paused, her lips pouting and nose twitching, and began to sob,
"Ahh . . . I can't continue!"
Her eyes turned red . "I understand all this, but I can't help feeling bad when things happen . I was very, very worried . When your second call rang, I was so afraid it might be from someone else, calling to inform me of something bad . . . I was so scared . . . "
She stopped her whining and locked her eyes on Lou Cheng with some attitude, her teeth grinding .
"Cheng, let me bite you!"
Lou Cheng was very touched by her sudden, true sentiment revelation . Thinking about her concerns, his heart ached for her . He responded in his softest voice,
"Okay . "
Yan Zheke took one step forward and buried her head in Lou Cheng's shoulder, her lips open and teeth showing above Lou Cheng's collarbone .
Lou Cheng relaxed his muscles and stopped his instinctive responses, preparing for a hard bite .
However, no pain came to him but a gentle nibble on his skin, which soon turned into a warm kiss .
"I can't bite you . . . " said Yan Zheke without raising her head .
Lou Cheng's heart missed a beat and the bag fell out of his hand . He lifted the girl with both hands, caressing his wife's back and hair . He then lowered his head and kissed her head .
Yan Zheke kept her head in Lou Cheng's shoulder and opened her mouth,

"I know even the simplest task could go wrong and lead to danger . I can't lock you at home or chain you up . I can't forbid you from everything . . . I hope you can be more careful in the future and make your decision after figuring out all the details . Don't take risks . Act only when you are absolutely confident . Tell me more if time allows so I can be more comfortable . . . Don't try to be tough in front of difficulties . Leave when you need to and seek aid from the sect when necessary . "
"I promise . " Lou Cheng nodded solemnly .
Yan Zheke remained silent for a few seconds and then heaved a sigh .
"If my health was better, I could reach the Dan stage and do these things with you . We could be like my grandparents . I really envy them . . . "
"Every couple has a different story, and we can't force ourselves into others' shoes . " Lou Cheng thought about it and tried to comfort his wife . "If you did accompany me on such missions, I would be unable to remain calm and would be worried about you all the time . I wouldn't perform as well . "
The darkness fell slowly and the moon rose . The pair hugged and talked, sharing their deep feelings .
Seven or eight minutes later, Yan Zheke resumed her normal mood and pushed Lou Cheng away . Happiness filled up her eyes .
"Go back and eat . I can hear your tummy roaring!"
"Yeah . Let me walk you back first . " Lou Cheng flushed .
"No need . It's just a few steps away . " Yan Zheke bounced backward, her skirt flying up .
She stopped after two steps and turned around to look at Lou Cheng with a smile hiding behind her hand .
"Cheng, for a second, I thought you would try to take me out on a date before sending me home . "
"For a second, I did think about it, but someone didn't bite me earlier . I must take good care of her . " Lou Cheng chuckled . "However, Empress Dowager and your dear father are waiting for you . Picking up a gift can't take three hours . How would they think of me?"
"That's right . If you told your mom you would be a few more hours late and would rather have something outside, she would slap your face . " Yan Zheke poked fun at him .
Lou Cheng shook his head and laughed . "I remember someone saying she didn't like that every date led towards that direction . Spiritual connection is just as important . Taking a stroll, chatting, watching TV shows and programs, and doing homework are also nice . I felt you weren't very happy in Songcheng, but you gave in at last . "

"It's not that I'm not happy or not into it . . . Phew! I don't like it at all!" Yan Zheke threw a glare at Lou Cheng, shy but splendid . "As you said, girls care about other things besides sexual things . I thought we were just married and you were very thirsty . . . I guess that was why I agreed to do it . "
"Also, we will part very soon . And we have left it to God . "
"Even now I'm tempted . "
"Maybe every girl has this irrational side . . . "
They waved at each other after some more talking . Lou Cheng watched her elegantly walking into the estate and then returned home with the gift .
"Finally! Your father and I ate already . I'll heat it up for you . " Qi Fang stood up from the couch . She hadn't even thought about waiting for her son to eat together .
"My real mother . . . " Lou Cheng handed over the bag and put on a bright smile .
"Mom, Dad, I got you something from Linbian . "
"My son, you went for business but managed to buy us something?" Qi Fang's smile was brilliant .
Lou Zhisheng asked in a reserved manner, "Why did your sect send you to Linbian today? It didn't take you long . "
"A minor matter . They needed someone to show up . Just for a few minutes," answered Lou Cheng vaguely .
As Qi Fang took over the bag, she casually commented, "Linbian is not a safe place . Why did your master send you there?"
"Not bad . Our government is very strict . Linbian's public security is not the best, but how bad can it be? It's actually pretty safe as long as I don't go to crowded places or dark allies and don't make trouble . Otherwise, how do residents there live?" responded Lou Cheng with a sneer .
"Hmm . . . " Qi Fang didn't say more . Dishes were reheated and served . Lou Cheng devoured it all before his parents' eyes .
"When you went to Linbian, your dad was worried . He was watching their local TV station earlier . " Qi Fang made fun of Lou Zhisheng .

"It was by chance . " Lou Zhisheng coughed it off .
Lou Cheng's heart was warm and his appetite just got better .
The family sat together happily . The news came along but disappeared in their chats and laughter .
"Linbian TV news . This afternoon, a serious gun-related crime took place in the Linfu Building at the Jiuxing junction . . . "
" . . . The case has been solved and the main suspects Si Jianting and Huang Chengda have been arrested . . . "
…
Lou Cheng returned to his room after dinner and turned on his computer, looking for videos from this afternoon .
Fortunately, he was very efficient to get it done in under two minutes . Most people on site didn't have the chance to respond . It was a horrifying scene that not many dared to approach, so only a few blurry photos were uploaded .
"Hmm . . . Even my mom can't tell it is me . . . " Lou Cheng laughed and felt relieved .
With pressure from the sect, this news couldn't grow into something bigger .
Right before he closed the page, a QQ message came in from Wonton Seller .
"Tiger, did you check the group message? We are meeting up in Huacheng on the 15th . Are you coming?"
Huacheng, where the Longhu Club was located .
"Err . . . I don't think so," replied Lou Cheng after some thinking .
"I used to be very interested in meeting them one year ago . But in the past one year, I rarely said anything on the forum and didn't talk much with anyone . It would be awkward to meet a group of strangers . "
