Stubborn Love of a Roguish Scion

“W-What are you doing?”

“Damn, is Boss getting horny again?” asked Zheng Yi with a mischievous look.

Upon shooting a side-eye glance at him, Mo Jiangye proceeded to unbutton the jacket of the woman lying in his embrace and help her take it off. She, who had complained about the cold earlier, now had tiny beads of perspiration oozing out of her forehead.

Meanwhile, Xu Xu was filled with resentment for being shoved aside. His resentment, however, was not directed at his chief and sister-in-law, but at the two shameless fellows beside him.

“Are you two going back tonight?”

The man, who was fiddling with a lock of his wife’s hair, replied, “We’ll be leaving in a while.”

“You are in such a hurry?”

Ye Erruo sipped a mouthful of mineral water before answering, “We can get home earlier if we leave early.”

“Sis-in-law, is there something urgent awaiting you?”

“Yes.”

“No wonder Boss wants to leave before he’s even done with his work.”

She lifted her head in surprise. “You still have work to do? Why don’t I leave first and you stay behind and take care of everything before heading back?”

“We’ll head back together.” He caressed her head lovingly.

She rubbed herself against his chest, giggling delightfully. “Alright.”

Zheng Yi was speechless.

“I’ll go bid the others farewell.”

The excited lass, who had just climbed to her feet, got pulled right back into her husband’s embrace. “No need.”

She was confused.

Looking slightly frigid and displeased, the man added, “There’s no need for goodbyes.”

“But they’re in the same—”

Upon meeting his warning gaze, she heaved a sigh of resignation. “Just a little while. I’ll be right back! It won’t take long.”

After spending so much time with the others, it’d be rude of me if I didn’t bid them farewell before leaving.

Slowly, the man got to his feet, reached for the jacket beside him, and wrapped it tightly around his woman.

Goodbye? What for?

Why let the other guys meet her for the last time before we leave? Everyone’s paths are different, so what are the chances of them bumping into each other after this? Farewell? Bah, no need for that.

“H-Hey! Hey! Put me down.”

“Behave. I’ll settle the score with you later.” He shot her a hard look.

“Hey, Boss. Are you really going to leave tonight when the new cadre leader hasn’t arrived?” yelled Xu Xu from behind.

“I’ll leave the rest to you guys. You can only leave when you’re done with this matter.”

“Damn!”

“What the hell? That’s your job, Boss. Don’t you feel a prick in your conscience for dumping your work on us?”

However, the man merely picked up his wife and strode off without so much as turning his head. Judging by the cold, eerie air he exuded, someone must have pissed him off again.

The small woman swiftly remained still and obedient in his arms.

That very night, while Mo Jiangye and Ye Erruo left the campsite first via a plane, the rest of her teammates ended their BBQ gathering in the wee hours. They were very reluctant to part after spending almost two months together.

Early the next day, they gathered at the airport and bade their instructors farewell before they flew off.

“Stay in touch.”

“Let’s hang out whenever you’re in XXXX area.”

“Awesome. I’m finally leaving this damn place!” A furious Yao Tiao scanned her surroundings, thinking: Trust that wretch Ye Erruo to secretly leave last night! Hm! That heartless lass didn’t even bother to say goodbye to me.

The group of people at the airport was engaged in a frenzied conversation when a forklift that carried a large number of suitcases drove over in their direction.

“Everyone, take your stuff and get ready to board the plane,” ordered Chen Zhanxiao.

“Ah! Ah! Ah! My luggage is still here.”

“Eh? Where’s that girl you always hang out with? Why don’t I see her?” Wu Mengran, who was wearing a pair of sunglasses and a sun hat, asked as she walked over.
