Chapter 127

Late at night.

After parting ways with Wang Sister-In-Law and her family, it was already late into the night by the time Gu Jinchen returned.

Afraid of chilling Luo Ge his wife, Gu Jinchen first washed away the night mist and cold air from his body, using hot water to warm himself up before daring to slip into the bed.

But even with his lightest movements, the lightly sleeping Luo Ge was still awakened.

"You're back," she said, opening her eyes to see him, instinctively nestling into his familiar embrace.

This little cat-like action made one's heart itch, and Gu Jinchen took a deep breath, his voice husky as he responded.

"Did I wake you?"

Luo Ge shook her head, "No."

Then, after a moment's hesitation, she tilted her head up to look at him and softly said, "I couldn't sleep well without you here. I was waiting for you."

It was rare for her to express herself so directly, and she felt a little uneasy, which is why she hesitated when speaking.

How to put it? It felt like the warm, safe stove was missing, and she couldn't sleep well.

And to the ears of the vigorous man who had been holding back for so long, these words were like a bright, tantalizing tug at his heartstrings.

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinchen took another deep breath, his slender fingers tapping her head, his large palm pulling her closer.

"You little tease, are you trying to tempt me since I can't take advantage of you?"

Although he had consulted with the doctor and learned that it was appropriate for some intimacy at this time.

"Wife is so good."

Upon hearing these words, Luo Ge let out a soft groan.

Seeing that she was too tired to speak, Gu Jinchen's smile deepened, holding his little darling tightly.

He also carefully left some space for her belly before turning serious and discussing the day's events.

"Regarding today's incident, fortunately Prince's blockade was timely, and we managed to rescue four children."

"The remaining criminal who escaped early couldn't be stopped and rescued."

"This was not simply a case of child trafficking. According to the criminals we caught, they chose these children for some sort of sacrificial ritual..."

"... Prince has now informed the court of the situation and taken over the case. From now on, I will need to be frequently involved until the matter is resolved."

It must be said that Gu Jinchen was indeed a great helper. During the process of bringing back the children, he put in a lot of effort, and seeing this, Prince requested his continued assistance.

Upon hearing this, Luo Ge nodded in understanding but still had some concerns and reminded him.

"Then you must be careful. Leave the affairs at home to me."

Nowadays, with enough manpower, she didn't need to overwork herself like before. She could handle things herself.

Gu Jinchen nodded, leaning down to kiss her forehead.

"Have them do the work, and if there's anything you can't handle, just wait for me to return. Don't overexert yourself."

"Okay."
