Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 1546 - 1535: Baobao's Business Trip

Baby Hai snorted twice, holding back her joy and complaining, "You've been gone for days without even a word.""Wasn't I busy?"

Baby Hai continued to snort, "I bet you were busy checking out pretty girls."

"And you know that."

Ning Fan was taken aback but then laughed, "How could that be? In front of you, who dares to call themselves a beauty?"

"That's more like it." Baby Hai beamed inside and continued, "How's Fei'er now?"

Ning Fan's expression darkened, "She's gone."

"Gone? Didn't you say Fei'er went home for a marriage meeting?"

Seeing Baby Hai's suspicious face, Ning Fan immediately reacted and awkwardly smiled, "That's what I meant. Getting married means she's gone, right?"

"Judging by your expression, you didn't seem happy. Does that mean you can't let go of Fei'er?"

"Your professional skills are really impressive."

Ning Fan was secretly shocked but teased aloud, "Baobao, could it be that you're jealous?"

"Jealous? Jealous of what? Who's jealous?"

Her three self-defensive responses fully revealed Baby Hai's guilty conscience.

Ning Fan bluntly said, "That is being jealous. And you say you're not."

"I'm not. Humph! How could I possibly be jealous of you?"

"You are."

...

Amidst their endless banter, Ning Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief. If he didn't divert Baby Hai's attention, with her sharpness, she'd surely uncover him.

After a lavish welcome dinner, just as Ning Fan was about to leave, Baby Hai stopped him, "Hey! Where are you going?"

Ning Fan naturally replied, "Home."

"Weren't you fired? Where do you have to stay?"

Noticing the blush on Baby Hai's face, Ning Fan understood immediately and playfully grinned, "Oh! I remembered, so it's you and me... hehe..."

Baby Hai said nervously, "Don't get any strange ideas."

Ning Fan countered, "What do you think I'm thinking?"

"I... I don't know."

Baby Hai sternly explained, "I pitied you. You had nowhere to stay, that's why I kindly took you in."

Not seeing each other these days, the feelings they painstakingly developed were completely "ruined."

Their conversation lacked any romantic sweetness typical of couples, instead resembling a quarrel.

But for Ning Fan, he was happier that Baby Hai returned to her true nature — straightforward, sharp-tongued but soft-hearted.

The gentle and obedient demeanor really didn't suit Baby Hai's temperament.

Ning Fan feigned a mournful face and said, "Baobao, I'm begging for support, for sponsorship."

Baby Hai giggled threateningly, "Good thing you know. If you anger me, I'll make you sleep on the streets."

"Greetings, boss. I'll rely on you from now on."

...

Returning to their residence, the fiery Baby Hai instantly became a gentle little lamb.

Without Ma Fei'er around, now the two were truly alone in a room.

"I'm going to bed."

After considering for a while, unable to resolve the awkwardness, Baby Hai left hastily after uttering this.

"Even a fiery beauty has moments of shyness."

Ning Fan chuckled and then spent a completely sleepless night.

The next morning, seeing Baby Hai still at home, Ning Fan asked puzzledly, "Aren't you going to work today?"

As he expected, the day after they left, Baby Hai returned to the police station.

"Go to work? I'm supposed to be on vacation."

Noticing Ning Fan's puzzlement, Baby Hai smiled and said, "I just went to help review Zhonghai City's old files to see if I can find any clues."

Ning Fan frowned, "Still on that vampire case?"

"Yeah. The nature of this case is too serious. If we don't solve it, we'll always be under pressure."

Finally, Baby Hai said softly, "I'm going on a business trip to the Capital City tomorrow."

Actually, today is the real departure date. If it weren't for Ning Fan, Baby Hai might have left last night.

"Didn't you say you're on vacation?"

"I am on vacation, but they gave me a temporary task!"

Baby Hai said mysteriously, "Let me tell you a secret. There's word that the perpetrator is lurking in the Capital City."

"The perpetrator is in the Capital City?"

Hearing this, Ning Fan's expression turned strange.

Whether it's that vampire, or the Corpse Herding Sect behind it, they're already in ruins, so what's with the alleged perpetrator?

Baby Hai proudly said, "That's precisely why the chief arranged for me to investigate secretly. Apart from you, no one knows this information."

Ning Fan now thoroughly felt something was off.

If the perpetrator is really in the Capital City, given their cruelty...

There's no way they'd send just a rookie cop; they'd definitely deploy a competent team.

Plus, the news of the perpetrator appearing in the Capital City sounds rather dubious.

Earlier investigations yielded no results, not even knowing the perpetrator's gender, and now they're said to be in the Capital City.

"I feel like it seems intentional to keep her from interfering in the matter."

But seeing Baby Hai's enthusiastic look, Ning Fan held back his doubts to avoid dampening her spirits,

"Baobao, will you be in danger?"

"Ever since I donned this uniform, I've already disregarded life and death..."

Seeing Ning Fan's nervous look, Baby Hai's heart warmed, and she gently said, "Don't worry. I'm just there to assess the situation; whether I encounter the perpetrator is uncertain."

"That's good."

Now, Ning Fan could fully confirm his earlier suspicions.

Although the reasons were unclear, Baby Hai was indeed being "sent away," using the excuse of the Capital City trip.

Ning Fan guessed correctly. Chief Zhang simply couldn't handle this persistent lady, so he found a reason to send Baby Hai to the Capital City.

Baby Hai was originally from the Capital City, so this trip was essentially going home, a win-win situation.

Seeing Ning Fan remain silent, Baby Hai casually asked, "Are you going to miss me?"

"Of course I'll miss you." Ning Fan shamelessly said, "Can't you not go?"

Baby Hai hesitated, "Well... I can't. It's my job, I've already agreed to take part in this mission."

"Then there's nothing to be done. We'll have to wait until you return to resolve the longing."

Baby Hai squinted her eyes with a smile and said, "Don't worry. I won't be gone for long."

Ning Fan thought internally, "Just afraid this time might be very long."

"Well, let's take care of this matter today."

Ning Fan asked perplexed, "What matter?"

"Didn't you resign? I've asked someone to help find you a job."

Baby Hai awkwardly said, "This was prepared a while ago. But I wanted you to rest, so it got delayed to today. You just need to handle the paperwork today."

"I see."
