Chapter 1623: Disappointed (4)

"Inform the family members as soon as you've confirmed the identity."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Su Chen's mood was needless to say, foul. The sky was still filled with lightning and thunder, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier. Many of the evidence left behind at the scene could not be preserved, so this night was destined to be not very peaceful.

After he finished his work, it was already past one o'clock in the morning. After packing up, Su Chen changed into a clean set of clothes and drove back.

When he reached home, he saw that the lights in front of the door were still on and the street lamps were still on. However, the lights in the house seemed to have quieted down.

Su Chen drove straight in and parked the car. He did not even bother with his umbrella and rushed home.

The house was quiet. Ji Zitong should be asleep by now. Su Chen turned on the lights in the living room and glanced at the wall clock on the wall. He realized that it was almost two in the morning.

He took off his coat and felt a hunger in his stomach, so he went straight to the kitchen.

The food in the pot was no longer warm. He simply heated it up and then sat on the sofa in the living room with a large bowl of mixed food. He picked up a fashion magazine at the side and casually flipped through it.

He had just eaten a few mouthfuls when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from upstairs. He subconsciously looked up and saw Ji Zitong walking down the stairs. She looked sleepy and obviously had just woken up. Her nightdress was very thin, however, she also had on his large shirt.

"Why are you so late? It's almost two o'clock. How busy have you been lately? Do you have to handle all the matters in the bureau?" Ji Zitong frowned.

She thoughtfully poured him a cup of warm water and sat down beside him.

Su Chen took it and drank a few mouthfuls in a row. "I'll be quite busy in the coming days. There was an accident at the city south highway. The person who died was the son of a higher up from the provincial department. The situation is still unclear, so it got a little late. Did I wake you up?"

Ji Zitong shook her head and rubbed her eyes, "They look for you every time something like this happens. Didn't some second-generation official crash into someone and looked for you again a few days ago,? Your Chief Huang really knows how to be courteous, putting you responsible for all this mess. Also, I remember that the city south is under Deputy Chief Du's jurisdiction, right?"

"He is still doing publicity outside the province. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have passed on the job to him."

Su Chen glanced at her. Their relationship had been a little tense, so he did not want to leave for the time being. He had managed to persuade Chief Huang to change the candidate to Chief Du, but now it was clear that...

"Alright, don't frown. I'm used to doing things in my position. Pour me another cup!"

As Su Chen spoke, he handed over the empty cup in his hand.

Ji Zitong quickly took the cup. Su Chen had already lowered his head and continued eating his meal.

"Grandfather called in the evening. You haven't been home for a long time. He wants you to find some time to go home and visit. Mother hasn't been feeling well these past two days and caught a cold. She has been resting at home for two days. Father has been accompanying her at home these past two days. Let's go back and visit," Ji Zitong poured him another cup and suggested.

Su Chen took it and took another sip.

"She might be a little busy these next two days. How about this, tomorrow evening when you get off work, you go straight back. I'll go over later after work."

Su Chen frowned and asked again, "Is she alright? Didn't sis go back to visit?"

"Sis went overseas these past few days and said that there's a fashion show. Oh, she seems to have gone with Su Nan. Hasn't Su Nan been looking for inspiration for her work recently?"

Su Chen knew about Su Nan. She was Xi Xiaye's good friend. Those who did not know would think that they were related. After all, both families were surnamed Su. However, Su Zhengxun and the others had been busy with the cultural industry recently, they visited University A before, so they were quite familiar with each other.

Su Chen nodded, "If you have time these two days, spend more time with her. Mother's temper is like a child's. Father and I are very busy, so she can only pester you and Sis."

"It's fine. Don't worry. She's a good person."

Ji Zitong really liked Xie Jiajia as a mother-in-law. She was really like a child, but she was also very smart in business. She was already so old, yet she was quite fashionable. Fashion brimmed and exhibited on her body in full display.

She was often pulled by her to do beauty and recuperation, and she would go shopping and soak in hot springs...

"Yeah, just call me or father if you have any problems. How are things at mother and father's martial arts centre?"

Su Chen hadn't accompanied Ji Zitong back for a while, so he asked about these things as well.

"Everything's fine. My mother misses you a little. Oh, grandfather does talk to my father occasionally."

"I'll be more free after I'm done with work. I'll accompany you back to take a look then."

"Okay, don't eat too much. I'll go up and find you some clothes in case you feel uncomfortable later."

...

After the previous unhappiness, the husband and wife were much more tolerant of each other. Knowing that Su Chen was busy with work, Ji Zitong was more concerned about him now. She was already thinking about him, but after thinking about it, he was not wrong.

No matter what, she was indeed his Mrs. Su. With his status and family background, perhaps he should be more careful than the average family.

In fact, Su Chen was very easy to please, so she could only care for him a little. He was the kind of person who would treat you several times better. Just like now, when he saw that she was casually washing his shirt, he stopped her-

"Let me do it. The water is quite cold. It'll be fine once it's gone through the water."

As he spoke, he swiftly took the wet shirt from her hand and handed her a soft dry towel. Then, he washed it himself.

After he was done, he went to bed to rest. It was almost three in the morning, so he did not have any more thoughts. He hugged Ji Zitong and asked for a goodnight kiss before falling asleep. Ji Zitong was quiet for a while, not long after, she heard the sound of his heavy breathing. She turned around and looked—

He was indeed sleeping like a pig!

She reached out and gently pushed him. In response, he reached out and pulled her into his embrace. Without even lifting his eyelids, he fell asleep again.

She had wanted to talk to him, but seeing him like this, Ji Zitong could only helplessly take a deep breath. She lifted her hand and reached over to turn off the light beside her. Then, she pulled the blanket and fell asleep as well.

The storm outside was still ongoing, but the room was warm and cozy. She longed for this peace and tranquility...
