Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 1545 - 1534: Return to Zhonghai

"Since ancient times, it has been said that the gentle township is the tomb of heroes. The ancients did not deceive me."Recalling the reluctant look in Ziyun's eyes, Ning Fan sighed deeply in his heart. He almost softened just now and couldn't leave.

"Fortunately, I have great concentration and am a real man indeed."

After shamelessly praising himself, Ning Fan set forth on his journey to Zhonghai.

On the way back, when he passed by the deserted Mo Family Village again, Ning Fan sighed silently.

A fire at the city gate brings disaster to the fish in the moat. More than a hundred men, women, and children of the Mo Family Village had turned into mounds of graves.

After a few more years, under the erosion of wind and rain, the last traces of Mo Family Village will completely disappear.

As he was about to leave the heartland of Western Hunan, his phone, which had been unable to communicate, finally picked up a signal.

The ding-dong of text message notifications rang out like drumbeats.

Most were from Baby Hai. When he opened the most recent one, Ning Fan's beaming smile suddenly froze.

The last message was from Ma Fei'er, sent just this morning.

"A Fan, have you come back? I'm sorry."

Ma Fei'er had always remembered the ten-day agreement with Ning Fan, and today happened to be the appointed time.

Upon seeing this text, Ning Fan hurriedly dialed Ma Fei'er's number. The moment the call connected, he spoke rapidly, "Fei'er, where are you? Are you okay?"

"It's good that you returned safely. I'm fine now. I'm sorry."

After apologizing once more, the call was cut off.

When Ning Fan tried to call back, it had already become a dead number.

Faced with this outcome, Ning Fan shouted excitedly, "I'm not okay at all, dammit!"

After he calmed down, Ning Fan had to face this ending.

Ma Fei'er didn't truly want to leave him; she had had no choice.

Upon learning that he was safe, Ma Fei'er's excited and relieved tone in the call was not feigned at all.

"You are the woman I've set my eyes on, and leaving just like this... not a chance! Even if I have to search every corner of the earth, I will find you."

Putting away his feelings of defeat, Ning Fan regained his fighting spirit.

Regarding information about the Exorcist Ma Family, Ning Fan did not know much, but that did not mean there were no clues to follow.

The global Exorcism Association was a lead.

According to Ma Fei'er, the Ma Family has always had a cooperative relationship with the Exorcism Association, and the younger generation of the family would work and train at the association.

The Exorcism Association's activities are mostly in the West, primarily dealing with Western magical creatures.

All these years, Ma Fei'er has been abroad, and because of the vampiric incidents, she had tracked all the way to Huaxia.

Now that Ma Fei'er has disappeared, there are only two possible places she could have gone.

Either she returned to the Ma Family's ancestral land, or she returned to the Exorcism Association.

"As long as I can find traces of magical creatures, I can trace back to the Exorcism Association."

By then, even if Ma Fei'er is not at the association, Ning Fan can find leads to the Ma Family's ancestral land through the association.

Ning Fan sneered, "Magical creatures, huh!"

In Huaxia, regardless of a martial artist's cultivation level or the division between the righteous and the evil, these cultivators are all very low-key, hardly known to the outside world.

This can be seen from the Corpse Herding Sect and the Witchcraft Hu Family.

Even though they are just a thread apart from the outside world, they are perfectly hidden without a trace.

But unlike Huaxia, magical creatures abroad are very arrogant.

Whenever night falls, even in bustling metropolises, there are plenty of magical creature activities.

Some magical creatures even collaborate with cult groups and appear openly before their believers.

Thus, finding these demons and spirits abroad is not difficult.

This also became Ning Fan's confidence in finding Ma Fei'er.

"Fei'er, you won't escape my Five Fingers Mountain."

Ning Fan smiled lightly, then his body soared, disappearing without a trace.

"Finally, I'm back."

Setting foot on Zhonghai's ground once more, Ning Fan felt a sense of returning home.

"First, go find Baby Hai."

Xu Ruolan's sisters won't be back for another four or five days.

Perhaps the negotiations are very tense.

Aside from the first couple of days, when Ning Fan talked on the phone with Xu Ruolan for hours, he hadn't even seen the shadow of a text since then.

Xu Xiaoqing complained a bit, blaming this man, who was both her brother-in-law and boyfriend, for having tricked her.

After conceding countless unfair terms, Ning Fan finally appeased the furious little sister.

When he arrived at Baby Hai's house, Ning Fan found the door shut on him.

Apart from work, Baby Hai could be described as a homebody, unlikely to be out shopping at this hour.

"Could she have gone back to work again?"

Ning Fan wondered suspiciously.

Baby Hai, who is determined to handle big cases, is a very lively and energetic woman.

Although her vacation time hadn't ended, with her personality, she certainly wouldn't stay idle, especially now with no one accompanying her.

Thinking of this, Ning Fan didn't plan to call her for the time being, knowing she would be off work soon enough.

About two hours later, on a mandatory path leading to the neighborhood, Ning Fan, sipping coffee, spotted Baby Hai's car.

The silhouette that suddenly darted out startled Baby Hai. Even though she was a female driver, her driving skills were not to be underestimated.

"How are you crossing the road..."

The angry Baby Hai, after seeing who was outside the car, immediately opened the door excitedly.

"Ning Fan, you're back."

Ning Fan grinned mischievously, "A day apart feels like three years. Baobao, I've missed you to death. Have you missed me?"

"I want..."

The initially excited Baby Hai suddenly burst out, "I miss your big head! Do you know how dangerous it was to suddenly run across the road? What if I had hit you..."

"I forgot this girl used to be a traffic cop."

With an inward sigh of misfortune, Ning Fan had to hang his head and listen to Baby Hai's scolding, spreading road safety knowledge.

The urgent honking suddenly reminded Baby Hai that she was still on the road.

Looking at Ning Fan, who was sporting a cheeky smile, Baby Hai's face turned red with embarrassment, "Aren't you getting in the car? What are you standing there for?"

Ning Fan put on an aggrieved look and said, "I was listening to the teacher's lesson, wasn't I?"

"I'm ignoring you."

Baby Hai stomped her foot and angrily returned to the car.

"Uh-oh! I forgot she's a powder keg; she explodes at the slightest spark."

Seeing this, Ning Fan hurriedly ran over, opened the car door, and sat in the passenger seat.

This is one of the things Ning Fan admired about Baby Hai. Though she has a fiery temper, she is not at all capricious and unreasonable.

If it were any other woman, there'd be no way she'd let me in the car; she'd have sped off by now.

Watching Baby Hai's rosy ears flapping gently,

Ning Fan found himself more and more captivated. The term "jade beads" described those delicate pearls perfectly.

"What are you looking at?"

Baby Hai struggled to maintain a straight face, but her heart was racing, and the blush on her pretty face betrayed her inner shyness.

Without missing a beat, Ning Fan said, "Looking at a great beauty. It's been so many days, and you're looking prettier and prettier."

"Hmph! Smooth talker."
