Chapter 461 His Wife Was Waiting for Him to Sleep

In fact, these past few days, the thought that the woman had been secretly observing him had made Du Chenzhou feel extremely uneasy.

He feared that once he finished translating for Lusca and Howard for this period and left the guesthouse, he would lose the military's protection and become a lamb to the slaughter.

That's why he ultimately chose to hand the note to Xie Zhiyan and tell him the whole story.

He understood that if he handed the note to Xie Zhiyan and asked Xie Zhiyan to help investigate and arrest the person, there would still be a glimmer of hope.

But if you do nothing and say nothing, that's truly just waiting to die.

However, now that the matter has been resolved, he owes Xie Zhiyan and Shu Ying a debt of gratitude.

In this situation, if he still harbored feelings for Shu Ying, it would seem rather inhuman and ungrateful...

Du Chenzhou scratched his head, his mind in utter turmoil.

After all, I've liked someone for so many years; it's not something I can just let go of so easily.

Although there's little chance even if I don't let go of him, it still requires a psychological process...

Lusca and Howard, however, had long assumed that Du Chenzhou was like them, able to let go easily and no longer cared about Shu Ying.

Lusca and the other man smiled and gave Shu Ying a thumbs up without any hesitation.

"Shu, you're amazing! Thanks to you today, otherwise those two might have gotten away and caused even bigger trouble in China if we had been any later!"

You are truly outstanding!

"Of course, Xie Zhiyan is also very capable. The speed at which he and his men captured the person so quickly is truly astonishing."

"No wonder you two got married, you're a perfect match!"

Lusca and Howard kept giving Shu Ying a thumbs up, while Daniel, standing next to them, looked on in confusion, blinking as he tried to find out why.

Shu Ying found it both funny and helpless.

However, she did appreciate the last comment that said she and Xie Zhiyan were a perfect match.

Shu Ying also gave a thumbs up.

"I love listening to you talk, so please talk more."

Lusca and Howard laughed.

Although Daniel didn't know what had happened, he was easily infected by the atmosphere, and since his own crisis had just been resolved, he couldn't help but laugh along.

Xie Zhiyan had already gone over to deal with the people who had just been captured. In the entire second-floor room, four out of the five people were laughing, only Du Chenzhou couldn't laugh.

The crisis was averted just ten minutes before the dinner ended.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and quickly seized the last ten minutes or so to exchange ideas.

The dinner party ended quickly.

Director Wu waited at the door to greet Shu Ying.

"Xiao Shu, I think Commander Xie just left with his men? Why don't you come back with us and ride in my car?"

"Thanks to you for everything today, I'll personally escort you to your doorstep!"

"Yes, Shu Ying accomplished a lot today. If she does this again, she'll become a legend in our Ministry of Foreign Affairs!"

"You're now our Ministry of Foreign Affairs' prized possession. We'd rather carry you home than just drive you to your doorstep!"

Zhou Weizhou and Shen Xin joked along with the others.

Du Zhiwei watched from behind, her mouth practically agape in disbelief.

Escorted by Director Wu and his colleagues, Shu Ying arrived home quickly.

My sister had already put the two children to sleep, and the house was quiet.

Shu Ying quietly turned on the light, changed her shoes, and didn't go upstairs for the time being. She sat quietly in the living room waiting for Xie Zhiyan to come back, afraid of making any noise that might disturb the two children and Xie Mingzhu.

She just didn't expect that this wait would last for several hours.

As night deepened, the fatigue from a busy day gradually crept in, spreading silently in the quiet and eroding Shuying's remaining clarity.

Shu Ying herself didn't know when she fell asleep.

By the time Xie Zhiyan finished handing everything over and returned home, it was already past midnight.

He unlocked the courtyard gate with his key and was rubbing his temples as he walked into the house when he saw a sliver of light coming through the crack in the main room door.

He was taken aback.

Is his wife still waiting for him?

Xie Zhiyan immediately quickened his pace and pushed open the door to go inside.

Just as he was about to frown and feel sorry for Shu Ying for not resting so late, he stepped into the room and saw Shu Ying leaning against the sofa, fast asleep.

Under the soft light of the living room ceiling light, Shu Ying's profile was smooth and beautiful, with a smooth face shape, like a finely carved piece of jade, radiating a warm and beautiful luster, and her jet-black hair was casually scattered over her shoulders.

Compared to her serious and tidy appearance with her hair neatly tied up during the day, her messy hair piled up on her shoulders now gives her a more lazy and natural vibe.

She seems to be beautiful no matter what she looks like.

Whether it's serious and orderly or lazy and natural, the temperament is innate, and each has its own beauty.

But beyond her beauty, her deep breaths and tired face also revealed how hard she had worked all day.

Xie Zhiyan sighed silently, feeling sorry for her. He stepped forward, his arms reaching behind her head and under her legs, and was about to carry her upstairs in his arms.

Before he could exert any force, Shu Ying's hand, still half-asleep, climbed up his neck.

Like a vine growing helplessly, she suddenly found support, wrapped her arms around him tightly, adjusted to the most comfortable position, rested her head on his shoulder, and fell asleep again.

Xie Zhiyan was afraid of waking her, so he didn't dare to move the whole time.

After Shu Ying adjusted her position in his arms, he gently looked down and saw her sleeping soundly so close to him, and couldn't help but smile softly.

Such a peaceful sleeping posture can probably only be found when he's around.
