241  Resignation

    " Darling, Get up. Nngh~ It''s already evening..."

    Jia Hao slowly opened his eyes as he felt tender peppering kisses on his face and neck.

    " Mmh, Yunli, That tickles..." Raising his hands, he wrapped them around Chu Yunli''s body, who was sleeping on his chest like a lazy kitten. Chu Yunli raised her head, looking at Jia Hao with limpid eyes.

    " You are really a beast on the bed, Brother Hao." Chu Yunli murmured as she rubbed Jia Hao''s lips. " Ungh...I didn''t realize earlier... But now it kinda...stings."

    " How could you realize when you were urging me to go faster and harder?"

    " Brother Hao!" Chu Yunli''s face burned with red as she pinched his chin. " How-How can you talk so crassly? I didn''t say anything like that..."

    " Did I?"

    Jia Hao rolled his eyes when he heard that. " Well, Whatever you want to believe."

    " Mmm, Let''s get up. Dad might be returning right now..."

    Jia Hao''s eyes gained a bit more clarity as he slowly got up. " Ah, That... Yes, you are right."

    " Then, What about a shower?"

    Chu Yunli nodded. " You go first, Brother Hao. I will go after you."

    " Who said I am going alone?"

    " Ahhhh!~"

    Chu Yunli lets out a surprised yelp when Jia Hao sweeps her off from the bed, carrying her like a princess.

    The bedsheet fell from her body like a silken cover, revealing her nude body in Jia Hao''s arms in all glory. " Brother Hao, you are so naughty." Chu Yunli wrapped her arms around Jia Hao''s neck as she buried her face in the crook of his neck.

    " Hmph! I guess you ensnared quite a girl like this, no?"

    " Ensnared? Such a bold term!" Jia Hao feigned shock. " The girls are attracted to me. It wouldn''t be manly if I reject them, right?"

    " Besides, my heart is very big." Jia Hao teased her. " So, there won''t be any problem with accommodation in it."

    "Bah! Pervert!"

    " Oh, believe me, You are going to see a lot more."

    The glass door closed as two figures intertwined in the steamy shower room.

    " I did what''s my duty. And I don''t regret it a single bit." Chu Ming replied as he ended the call. However, he couldn''t see it afterward.

    " What happened, Uncle Chu?" Jia Hao became curious.

    " Well, Guess the higher ups finally made their move." Chu Ming chuckled bitterly. " The Gu Family won''t escape this time. However, I won''t escape the crossfire either."

    " I got an offer of voluntary retirement."

    Jia Hao chuckled as he also understood how much voluntary this was. " Well, Uncle Chu, I guess you expected that? After all, in the forest, the straightest tree gets cut down first."

    " That''s true." Chu Ming gave a light laugh. " Perhaps I have been far too righteous and rigid. Not many like those things in our department."

    " Well, You got this villa and Yunli. Perhaps, You should also take a break." Jia Hao proposed. " After all, retiring as the Chief of the Provincial Criminal Investigation Department is rather prestigious."

    " Besides, You can also use this chance to finally get some free time. Go around and see the country or spend some time with Yunli."

    Chu Ming heard Jia Hao as he fell into thought. " Hmm, What you said is doable. Perhaps I am really getting old."

    " Dad, You are back?"

    Jia Hao and Chu Ming looked at the stairs and saw Chu Yunli coming down. Her steps were kinda wobbly, making Jia Hao embarrassed. However, Chu Yunli simply rushed and hugged Chu Ming. " Thank god, Dad. I was so worried about you."

    " Mhm, I am fine, Yunli." Chu Ming hugged her back and patted her head. " Forgive me, I was too busy with my work."

    " No, Dad. It''s ok. I know how demanding your department can be."

    " Haah, I am sorry, Yunli." Chu Ming let her go as he looked at her with concerned eyes. " You are alright, yes? I have already arrested that bastard from our house. From now on, you are safe."

    " It was all thanks to Brother Jia." Chu Yunli smiled at Jia Hao. " Without her, I was good as dead. He came rushing to save me and kil...Ahem, defeated two kidnappers."

    " So, Where they are?" Chu Ming looked at Jia Hao. Jia Hao chuckled. " I took care of them, Uncle. You don''t need to worry."

    " Anyway, It''s been late. I have to go now. Mother must be waiting."

    " Ah, Sure." Chu Ming nodded. " Keep visiting here. Yunli likes you a lot."

    " D-Dad! What are you saying?!" Chu Yunli blushed as she pushed Chu Ming.

    " Hahaha, What an adorable girl." Chu Ming laughed.

    Meanwhile...

    " Jia Hao, You are grounded!"

    Jia Hao hung his head low as he stood before Su Yunqi.

    " Mother, Let me explain..."
