Chapter 246 The matter of mentioning the bath water
Chapter 246 Bringing up the bath water
Zeng Fang didn't know why, "Momo, what's wrong? I haven't arrived at your house yet."
"It's okay, there are only a few steps left, I'll walk back."
"No, it's already so late. What if I get targeted by bad guys?"
Yao Cheng also tried to persuade him, "I'd better take you to your doorstep, otherwise everyone will be worried."
Yun Mo had no choice but to explain, "My husband is here to pick me up."
Hearing this, Zeng Fang turned to look out the car window, and sure enough she saw Lingchuan standing at the entrance of the alley leading back to the courtyard, looking eagerly towards this side.
At the entrance of the alley, when he saw the familiar figure of his wife, Lingchuan's heart finally dropped.
As if sensing the man's worry and anxiety, Yun Mo also subconsciously quickened her pace.
Lingchuan was also walking towards her. The distance that was not short at first was quickly shortened as they approached each other.
"Momo, you are back."
Seeing the joy and concern in the man's dark eyes, Yun Mo couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, "Let's go home."
"Um."
When turning around, Lingchuan subconsciously glanced at the car that was slowly turning around and driving away. It was the car that his wife got out of just now.
Although the light was very dim at night, he was still able to identify two strange men sitting in the car.
Sensing his gaze, Yun Mo took the initiative to explain: "The driver is Zeng Fang's cousin, who just came from the provincial capital in the afternoon."
Hearing his wife's words, Lingchuan quickly looked away, "Momo, have you had dinner?"
"have eaten."
"I had already boiled the water when I came out. You go back and take a shower first so that you can rest early."
"Um."
The November night was already a bit chilly. A gust of wind blew through the alley, and Yun Mo couldn't help but shrink her shoulders.
The next moment, a jacket was draped over his shoulders.
The clothes had just been taken off by a man, and they still contained warm body temperature and a unique but not unpleasant male body odor, which made her feel inexplicably at ease.
Yun Mo turned her head and glanced at the man. He only had a short-sleeved shirt on him.
The shirt is blue, but it has turned gray-blue over time, and there are rectangular patches on each elbow.
Lingchuan didn't notice his wife's gaze. At the moment, his mind was filled with what happened in the morning, and he felt extremely nervous and inexplicably excited.
"Momo, this morning, did you..."
Seeing that the man's ears were turning red, Yun Mo secretly laughed, "Is it something?"
Lingchuan's Adam's apple rolled up and down a few times, and finally he swallowed what was in his heart.
"It's nothing. You went out without breakfast this morning. I was afraid you were hungry."
"I ate it at Fangfang's house."
"oh."
Seeing that the man was as dejected as an eggplant beaten by frost, Yun Mo couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.
Yun Mo was really tired. As soon as she got home, she took her clothes and went to the shower room to take a bath, preparing to have a good sleep. However, the water from the faucet was lukewarm and could not reach the temperature of a bath at all.
"Lingchuan!"
Hearing her shout, Lingchuan hurried over, "What's wrong?"
"Didn't you say the water was boiled? Why is it cold?"
Lingchuan quickly opened the water faucet and tested the water temperature. It was indeed a little cold.
"I went out to add fire to the stove." Lingchuan explained nervously, fearing that his wife would be angry.
"When did you go out?"
"Around 8 o'clock."
It's past 11 o'clock now, and the temperature at night in this season is only around 20 degrees. The boiler is outside and there is no insulation. If the fire in the stove goes out, the water will definitely gradually become colder.
However, Yun Mo's first thought was that Lingchuan went out at 8 o'clock, so wouldn't it mean that she had to wait for her for 3 hours?
"Momo, I'll go to the kitchen and boil a pot of hot water for you. It'll be ready soon. You go back to the house and have a rest. I'll call you when the water is boiled."
"oh."
Yun Mo took two steps, then suddenly thought of something and turned around, "Lingchuan, will you carry the bath water for me this time?"
Lingchuan was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red as if on fire.
Yun Mo snorted softly and turned around to go back to the room.
Lingchuan chased after her in three steps and two steps, "Momo, I was wrong before, don't be angry."
Yun Mo rolled her eyes at him, "Why don't you go boil some water and follow me?"
"I'll go."
The man spoke, but his body did not move. His dark eyes looked at her momentarily, his face full of nervousness and embarrassment.
Yun Mo urged: "Go."
"Then have you forgiven me?"
"No."
"Momo, you tell me what you want me to do to forgive you, and I will listen to you."
"Go and boil the water first and bring it to the bathroom."
"good."

It was already 12 o'clock when Ling Jiang and Zhu Hongping returned to Ling's house. As you can imagine, the money was not found.
Zhu Hongping also suspected that Xu Gang had stolen it, which coincided with Li Li's idea.
Immediately, Zhu Hongping asked Ling Jiang to accompany her out again and go to Xu Gang's family to ask for an explanation.
Ling Jiang couldn't hide his tiredness and persuaded: "Mom, let's go tomorrow, it's already so late."
Zhu Hongping was worried about the long nights and dreams, "No, let's go now. It's not far. You can take me by bike. It will take up to an hour to go back and forth."
Zhu Hongping said it lightly, but he didn't want to think that Ling Jiang had not rested from 6 o'clock in the morning until now, and had to ride a bicycle for an hour carrying her weight of more than 100 yuan. The donkeys of the production team were not used like this.
.
Maybe it's because God can't see it anymore and the flashlight can't shine.
No matter how unwilling they were, Zhu Hongping and Li Li had no choice but to rest their minds and wait until dawn tomorrow morning to find Xu Gang.

Yun Mo originally wanted to lie down and take a rest, but fell asleep as soon as she lay down. When she woke up, it was already midnight.
He was covered with a quilt, his shoes were off, and mosquito coils were burning at the foot of the bed.
The courtyard is good everywhere, but it attracts mosquitoes. It's late autumn and the mosquitoes are particularly fierce. One bite can cause a big bag.
I guess the bath water is cold again.
While Yun Mo was thinking about it, she yawned and got up, wanting to go out to use the bathroom. As soon as she opened the door, she saw a man dozing outside.
Awakened by the sound of the door opening, Lingchuan looked at her with sleepy eyes, with a bit of joy on his stern face, "Momo, are you awake?"
Yun Mo stared at him, "Why are you staying here if you don't want to sleep?"
Lingchuan rubbed his eyes, "I'll wait for you to wake up so I can get you some water. I first got the hot water and came over to call you, but you fell asleep and I was afraid that the water would get cold, so I poured it back into the pot to warm it.
.”
Yun Mo remembered that she seemed to hear a man calling her while she was half asleep. She was too sleepy at the time, so she responded, turned over, and fell asleep again.
It was already midnight, and Yun Mo didn't want to take a shower anymore, but thinking that the man had been waiting for half the night, she asked him to carry water to the bathroom.
After taking a bath, she was no longer sleepy. She didn't have to go to school tomorrow anyway, so Yun Mo simply made a pot of tea and told the man everything she had been busy with outside today.
After hearing this, Lingchuan was shocked and admired, "Momo, you are so amazing, you can come up with such a good idea."
Yun Mo looked at him, "Lingchuan, aren't you afraid of me?"
Seeing the confusion on the man's face, Yun Mo said, "I can scheme against my sister-in-law, and I may scheme against you in the future. Aren't you afraid of a woman like me who is scheming and capable?"
