Chapter 167

Hearing her husband’s words, Bai Jing smiled gently and asked, “So, husband, are you going to treat me like a caged bird, keeping me at home forever?”

“By showing my face in public, I mean going to work.”

“I want to be a slightly more independent woman.”

“Isn’t it good to stay home and take care of the children?”

“That would be too boring,” Bai Jing said, looking at her husband. “Actually, the main problem is that Binbin is already in kindergarten, so when he’s in kindergarten, I get so bored at home that I feel like the days are dragging on forever. Anyway, I’ll go work at that travel agency first, and if I can’t adapt, I’ll quit. If I do adapt, I’ll work hard there and try to earn more money for the family.”

Han An wanted to say something more, but he felt it was pointless.

What he cares about is whether his wife cheated on him, not who she met or what she experienced at work.

Moreover, if his wife really cheats on him, he will definitely divorce her.

So before that happens, it might be a good thing to let his wife become more independent.

At least his wife will have a source of income then.

This is what they call a clean break.

Thinking of this, Han An asked, “Where is the travel agency you work for?”

“It’s not far from here, just the next subway stop away.”

“Then you don’t need me to take you?”

“No need, I can take the subway myself.”

“Okay then, if you can’t adapt, then resign.”

“I know, thank you for your concern, husband.”

Watching his wife continue applying makeup, Han An felt she needed to look stunning to impress her boss and colleagues on her first day at work. In fact, she was already breathtaking even without makeup. Therefore, Han An could already foresee that when the travel agency staff saw his wife, they would think a female celebrity had arrived, which meant there was a high chance some men would be eyeing her.

“Then I’ll take Binbin to kindergarten.”

“No need, I’m going that way anyway.”

“Then I’ll head out now.”

“Honey, where are you going?”

“I’m taking my cousin to the airport,” Han An said after glancing at his watch. “I’m a bit rushed, so I’ll head out now. Be careful while I’m at it.”

“The same to you.”

After their conversation, Han An left home.

Five minutes before eight o’clock, Han An arrived at the residential area where his cousin lived.

Han An wanted to call his cousin, but just as he was about to dial, he saw his cousin walking towards him, dragging a brown suitcase.

Because he was worried that his cousin was going to Yunnan to go undercover, Han An’s smile looked particularly forced.

As for Han Sheng, he was all smiles.

Upon reaching Han An, Han Sheng said, “Take your car; that way, the two of us can have a proper chat.”

“This way.”

Upon reaching the parking area, Han An put his cousin’s suitcase into the trunk.

After that, Han An drove his cousin toward Bao’an Airport.

“How’s things going between you and Xiaojing?”

“That’s fine then.”

“Did you find anything?”

“not yet.”

“I really hope you’re mistaken.”

“Whatever.”

“This indifferent attitude won’t do; she’s still your wife, after all.”

“I used to trust her a lot, but after hearing her lie after lie, I realized that her virtue was just an act,” Han An said, looking ahead. “Anyway, I’m focusing all my energy on the investigation now, trying to find out the truth as soon as possible. As for you, cousin, just focus on your work in Yunnan and try to come back soon.”

“Is Xiao Ning helping you?”

“She’s a really good person. I hope you can put in a good effort, cousin.”

“If I can come back this time, I will confess my feelings to her.”

Upon hearing this, Han An immediately frowned.

After glancing at his cousin, Han An asked, “Are you really going to go undercover?”

“no.”

“Then why are you speaking in that tone?”

“It’s alright,” Han Sheng said with a smile. “Just wait, when I get back I’ll take Xiao Ning to Han’s Hot Pot, and then you’ll have to call her sister-in-law.”

“You’re really not an undercover agent?”

“Absolutely not, how could I possibly do such a dangerous job?”

“I know you’re going undercover, you just can’t tell me, and I understand that.”

“Going there to assist in the investigation of a case has absolutely nothing to do with being an undercover agent.”

Seeing that his cousin was unwilling to reveal his true purpose for going to Yunnan, Han An didn’t ask any further.

Upon arriving at Bao’an Airport, Han An escorted his cousin to the security checkpoint and watched him pass through security before leaving.

Today is Monday, a crucial day for Han An.

Therefore, he wanted to call Gao Yining directly.

After driving away from Bao’an Airport, Han An, feeling somewhat restless, decided to call Gao Yining.

After the call connected, Han An asked, “How did it go?”

“The results are in.”

What was the result?

“I don’t know either.”

“Xiao Gao, can you stop teasing me?”

“I’m not kidding you, I really don’t know,” Gao Yining said on the other end of the phone. “I’m on my way to the company now, and I’ll see the results when I get there. If you don’t have anything to do this morning, you can come to the company to see me. Anyway, no matter what the test results are, I think we’ll have a lot to talk about. Oh, and I brought a bottle of fine wine with me, so you can have a little sip.”

“Drinking during work hours?”

“Don’t forget, I can’t get drunk on wine.”

“Then I’ll go to Nuclear Gene now.”

See you later.

“My cousin just went through security.”

“Then what?”

“I was wondering why you didn’t come to see him off.”

“He and I are just ordinary friends. Isn’t it normal for me not to see him off?”

He’s a really nice person.

“The other police officers I know are also quite good.”

“Forget it, let’s talk about this when we meet.”

“Come directly to the chairman’s office to find me.”

“I know.”

After hanging up, Han An continued to focus his attention on driving.

At the same time, Jiangnan Travel Agency in Luohu District.

As Bai Jing entered the travel agency’s lobby, she cast friendly glances at the female colleagues at the front desk.

However, since none of them knew that Bai Jing was a new employee, they all assumed that Bai Jing was a tourist who was going on a trip.

Before they could speak, Bai Jing greeted them, “I’m Bai Jing, and I’m new here.”

It was only through Bai Jing’s introduction that they realized she was a new employee.

Are you also in charge of reception?

“No, I’m from the planning department.”

“That’s great,” one of the receptionists said with a smile, “The planning department will have a much easier time!”

“You guys keep busy, I’m going to report to the planning department.”

Go!

After Bai Jing walked away, the receptionist who had been chatting with her said, “She’s really beautiful. It seems like we’ll have to change our travel agency’s most beautiful woman!”

“That’s quite possible,” another receptionist said. “Luo Qiu used to be in the planning department, but then the boss took a liking to her and she became his secretary. If the boss saw Bai Jing, who is much prettier than Luo Qiu, I reckon Luo Qiu would be dumped.”

“I really hate that woman Luo Qiu. She’s clearly the boss’s mistress, but she keeps pretending to be innocent.”

“Stop talking, or we’ll be kicked out if someone reports us.”

Bai Jing knocked on the door when she arrived at the planning department.

“Just come in,” the man sitting in front of the computer said. “No need to knock, that would be too formal.”

After Bai Jing walked in, the man with a very obvious beer belly stood up and extended his hand to Bai Jing.
