Another week has passed since the Grape Origin incident. During this period, Guan Peng was very busy. He had to take care of Tang Yun and Keith, and he also found time to reminisce with Pauline. He truly deserves the title of a master of time management.

"Nothing can stop my yearning for freedom"

Zhong Xiaoai called again, three times a day, starting three days ago.

"Honey, do you miss me again? As the old saying goes, one day without seeing you feels like three years have passed. That's it."

The one who strikes first will gain the upper hand, while the one who strikes later will be controlled by others. Guan Peng is very strategic.

"Guan Peng, you've been out for so many days. Tell me straight out loud, when will you be back?"

Prosecutors have rules and are not allowed to contact the outside world when on a mission. Zhong Xiaoai only found out that her good husband was out hanging out alone after she returned to Beijing three days ago.

Going to France, and for work, who was she trying to fool? If she hadn't been hanging out with that art student, she would have been willing to have her head chopped off.

However, Zhong Xiaoai obviously underestimated Guan Peng. How could a mere Tang Yun contain such a man's heart?

"Didn't I tell you that I bought a winery, but I have some disagreements with the local town government regarding the renovation. We are in communication these days. 5000 million euros have already been invested. You don't want our money to go down the drain, do you?"

True or false, false or true, Guan Peng always has various reasons to convince his woman.

"You didn't hang out with that art student?"

When Prosecutor Zhong, who earns 5,000 yuan a month, heard about the investment of 50 million euros, he was immediately stunned.

"I don't have the time. My career is on the rise now and I'm very busy."

Guan Peng is self-taught and can recite Dao Ge’s classic quotes fluently.

"Is that so? Are you used to being abroad? How about I take some time off and come over to take care of you?"

As soon as Zhong Xiaoai said this, Guan Peng knew that she had made progress. To retreat in order to advance was to defeat my army.

"Really? That's great. When can you come over? I'll pick you up at the airport."

If you dare to play this trick on me, I will make sure you have no way out. Even if you are really willing to come, I have a way to prevent you from taking leave. Guan Peng does not allow Zhong Xiaoai to play tricks on him.

"Let me see. I may not be able to get leave."

Sure enough, upon hearing Guan Peng speak so frankly, Zhong Xiaoai wilted.

"Wife, why don't you just quit your job? Our family doesn't need that little salary."

It is better to use the remaining courage to pursue the enemy rather than to seek fame by imitating the tyrant; Guan Peng decided to pursue the victory.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't interfere with my work?"

Sure enough, the independent woman Zhong Xiaoai still cares very much about the sacred job of prosecutor.

"I'm just suggesting it, but your opinion should be the main consideration."

Too much is as bad as too little. Guan Peng certainly won't let her really resign.

If Zhong Xiaoai became a full-time housewife, how would she have any freedom? That's when they would really get tired of each other.

"Your wife is urging you to go home again. Aren't you a political marriage? She seems to care about you."

As soon as the phone was hung up, Keith came over to see what was going on. She already knew that Guan Peng had a wife.

"You should know that no woman can resist my charm."

Guan Peng is a little narcissistic, and the novelty of Keith has worn off, but after all, she is a woman he loved, so he still has to coax her.

"Do you really want to leave?"

In fact, if Zhong Xiaoai hadn't called, Guan Peng would have planned to go back. Although Liangyuan was nice, it was not a place he could stay for long. The French style was indeed nice, but it was not as comfortable as staying in his own country.

"Okay, didn't we agree that after I finish dealing with my domestic affairs, I will come to see you and Tang Yun when I have time."

"Okay, but don't lie to me. If you dare to lie to me, I will attack Tang Yun."

Keith's threat was a bit unconventional, but since he dared to threaten, he must be prepared to be punished, so leaving the gun was inevitable.

.........

After a month and a half, Guan Peng returned home and set foot on the land of Yanjing again; he did not tell Zhong Xiaoai about his itinerary, wanting to make a surprise attack. As for why he did this, it should be because of the phone call from Zhao Ruilong.

Nine p.m

Purple Jade Villa

Guan Peng came back, exhausted. He opened the door carefully. It was very quiet and the worst situation did not happen.

When he did something wrong, he felt that others might also be dishonest. Especially after what happened in Xingchen Apartment last time, Guan Peng had a bit of paranoia.

"Wife, I'm back." The person was scary, so scary. Guan Peng was not childish enough to scare people on purpose. He just shouted in the hall after entering the door.

Even so, Zhong Xiaoai was still shocked.

Prosecutor Zhong is very serious. Even though she is alone, she has no hobby of doing things to feed herself. She was watching a criminal investigation drama and was seeing the horrifying scene of the villain killing someone, when Guan Peng shouted like this.

"You want to die? You didn't even inform me in advance when you came back. Are you trying to scare me to death?"

Although he was cursing, he still came out to greet people with a smile on his face. Seeing this, Guan Peng was very satisfied.

"I want to give you a surprise. This is a gift. Open it and take a look. Do you like it?"

Guan Peng smiled and handed over a wooden box.

"Didn't I tell you not to buy random things? The jewelry you gave me is too expensive. It's not suitable for me to wear it for the nature of my job."

It is natural for couples to give each other small gift boxes, but Guan Peng's way of giving gifts put Prosecutor Zhong under a lot of pressure.

"This time it's not jewelry, it's a women's watch. I saw it when I was shopping in Paris. I thought it matched your temperament, so I bought it."

Guan Peng didn't give Zhong Xiaoai a chance to refuse and directly stuffed it into her hand.

"Patek Philippe, just by looking at this brand I know it's not cheap. This time I went to a local place and encountered a bribery case. A real estate developer bribed the director of the land bureau with a watch of this brand. The invoice said it cost 50 yuan, but it didn't look as good as this one. How could I dare to wear this watch?"

Zhong Xiaoai was obviously full of concerns, but Guan Peng still had a way to convince her.

"How many years was the director sentenced to?"

"20 years, why are you asking?"

"It's only been 20 years. You've been sentenced to life imprisonment and belong to me. It's not excessive to wear this watch."

"The devil has sentenced you to life imprisonment."

Even after getting married, Zhong Xiaoai is still a little bit arrogant.

"You called me three times a day to ask me to come back. Are you missing me so much that you can't help yourself?"

"Don't be so narcissistic. I'm just worried that you'll have too much fun and won't be able to find your way home."

"I really didn't miss me. Wait, let me touch you and I'll know if you missed me or not?"

Guan Peng is no gentleman. When dealing with a woman who says one thing and means another, he will take action when necessary.

"You rascal, go take a shower first..."

"Let's go together. We haven't taken a shower together for a long time."

With Guan Peng's physical fitness, he can easily carry a Zhong Xiaoai. Although wild flowers are fragrant, they are not as lush as domestic flowers.

As separation is better than a new marriage, Zhong Xiaoai only put up a symbolic resistance and then let him do it.

"Tell me, did you miss me?"

Saying one thing and thinking another is a disease, and if it is a disease, it must be treated. In the bathroom, Zhong Xiaoai, who had been ill for a long time, met a good doctor.

"I think about it, every day and every night..."

Chapter 42 Busy

The next morning, Guan Peng went to the company early, which was rare.

Even though information is now convenient and video communication is possible, the pile of contracts waiting to be signed over the past month and a half is enough to keep him busy.

"Boss, the four-star hotel you bought before you left has been renovated. When is it convenient for you to come and give us some guidance so that we can arrange for its reopening?"

The general manager of the hotel has been here many times. She gets commission based on performance, but she doesn't dare to open the business without the boss's order.

"Oh, yes, yes, I remember well enough to arrange for them to open this Saturday."

Hotel accommodation has always been a highly profitable industry, especially with the 08 Olympic Games approaching; Guan Peng, who had sufficient capital chain, decided to test the waters and spent a large amount of money to acquire a four-star hotel in Yanjing.

"Then will you attend the opening ceremony? I can notify them and make arrangements in advance." Qin Bing asked again specifically.

"It depends on the situation. Tell them that there is no need to arrange a reception."

Knowing that it was not easy for his subordinates to do things, Guan Peng gave direct orders.

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

Guan Peng was busy all day and only finished signing the piled up documents when it was almost time to get off work; as expected, you will have to pay for what you have done.

"Nothing can stop my yearning for freedom"

The cell phone rang, and when Guan Peng saw it was Zhong Xiaoai, he quickly answered it.

"Hubby, are you here yet? The flowers I've been waiting for have all wilted."

Zhong Xiaoai's voice on the other end of the phone was a bit seductive. Guan Peng only then remembered that he had made an appointment with her to have a meal at Li's restaurant in the evening.

"Oh, I'm so busy. Honey, please order the food first. I'll be right over."

Fortunately, the company was not far from the restaurant, and the dishes had just started to be served when Guan Peng arrived.

"You must be getting impatient. I have too much to do today. There are a lot of documents waiting for my signature. I am so busy."

After taking his seat, Guan Peng explained.

"Okay, I don't blame you, just eat."

Last night's dedication had a very good effect. Today, Zhong Xiaoai looked radiant, like a good wife and mother, and she was very considerate in helping Guan Peng pick up food.

"Well, you can eat too; we had our first meal here, and I think we had these dishes, too."

Guan Peng is somewhat reminiscing about the past, the glorious years.

"Yeah, it hasn't even been a year yet, I didn't expect so many things to happen."

Guan Peng just said this casually, but Zhong Xiaoai felt a lot. She recalled everything that happened in the past year and the person she met this time.

"I've been away from home for a while and can't take care of my family. Is Dad in good health?"

"It's still the same. After all, I'm getting older. Those little problems that I didn't pay attention to when I was young have become big problems now."

When talking about her father's health, Zhong Xiaoai immediately stopped thinking about it and said with a little worry.

"I asked someone to find a medical team in the United States. They should arrive in Yanjing in the next few days. I'll let them take a look at it then. Maybe there will be a new turn of events."

At this time, most people in China were fascinated by American medical technology, and Guan Peng also wanted to give the Zhong family some confidence.

"You spent a lot of money to invite people to come to China, right?"

I had only heard about going abroad for medical treatment, but never heard of inviting foreign medical teams back to the country. Zhong Xiaoai knew that her husband must have spent a lot of money.

"Isn't money meant to be spent? As long as Dad's illness can be cured, I'm willing to spend any amount of money."

Zhong Xiaoai certainly knew that Guan Peng was trying to please her, but it was really a blessing to be flattered like this; it was time to forget about that person completely.

After the meal, the two of them took advantage of the evening to go to the sanatorium again and told them about the situation.

Zhong Wei has already let it go a little. In his eyes, as long as his children are safe, he would be willing to die immediately; so he doesn't care much about the medical team from the United States.

However, Zhang Yuehua was very excited. In her opinion, the medical team in the United States must be better than that in China, and there was finally hope for Zhong Wei's illness.

Seeing her like this, Guan Peng felt a little pressured; but he couldn't pour cold water on her, so he could only hope that the Americans' technology was really amazing.

It was already nine o'clock when the two left the nursing home. After a busy day, they wanted to go home and enjoy their own world, but when they got home they found that the lights in the hall were on.

"Did you forget to turn off the lights when you left today?"

The person who spoke was Guan Peng, who left earlier than Zhong Xiaoai today.

"No, I'm sure they're all turned off. We don't even turn on the lights in the hall in the morning."

Zhong Xiaoai also felt a little strange.

"Oh no, my mother is here."

It was Guan Peng who reacted first.

Sure enough, as soon as the door opened, Liu Yue'e's complaints were heard.
