Chapter 1385: Chapter 1385: I Have Decided to Take Action

When I got home that evening, I heard from Lu Yichen that an ancient tomb had been discovered beneath the construction site. It was located right under their foundation, previously unnoticed. Due to the heavy rains, the weight of the buildings above might have been too much for it, causing the collapse.

They would be busy for the next few days, cooperating with the relevant departments for further investigations and handling the aftermath.

Rong Daniang felt sorry for the young couple and urged them to have dinner, freshen up, and get some rest.

Today, not only did Lu Yichen direct the rescue operations, but he participated personally as well—it really had taken a toll on him.

Luo Qiao saw his fatigued face and didn’t turn down Rong Daniang’s kindness. After saying a few things to the children, she went with Lu Yichen to the backyard.

After shutting the door, she took his change of clothes and led him directly into the Spatial Bamboo House.

She heated some water from the Spatial Well and prepared it, letting him soak in the space to relieve his exhaustion.

The weariness in his body was largely dispelled by the effects of the Spatial Well Water, and his spirits were revived.

While Lu Yichen was enjoying his bath, Luo Qiao began organizing the space.

Currently, the crops grown within the space were mostly used to make reserve seeds, while a small portion was consumed by the family.

After Lu Yichen had finished freshening up, he came out and hugged Luo Qiao from behind. Looking at the flourishing crops within the space, he thought, if he hadn’t experienced this personally, he wouldn’t dare believe such fortune could exist.

The two of them simply stood there quietly, savoring the tranquility and harmony.

After a long while, Lu Yichen spoke softly, “How’s your foundation coming along?”

“The paperwork is mostly done, and the office space is being renovated. By late July, it should be ready to kick off,” she replied.

Luo Qiao leaned against him, “Brother Chen, you’ll support me, right?”

“Of course. As long as it’s something you want to do, I’ll support you. Besides, it’s such a good thing—how could I not support it?”

“Thank you. I just want to do everything I can to give back to society, to lend a hand to those in need. Sometimes, one helping hand might change a person’s destiny, even their entire life.”

“Hmm, I understand.”

Luo Qiao teased him lightly, “Look at you, so fortunate. You married such a good wife.”

Lu Yichen affectionately kissed the top of her head. “You’re absolutely right. I did marry a wife who’s smart, capable, beautiful, kind-hearted, righteous, and adorable.”

With that, he scooped her up and headed toward the Spatial Bamboo House. Luo Qiao was startled, “Put me down! I’ve been exhausted all day!”

Only after entering the Bamboo Building did Lu Yichen set her down. He chuckled lowly and asked, “Qiao Bao, tell me what was running through your mind just now?”

Just as Luo Qiao was about to raise her hand to hit him, she saw a tub already filled with water sprinkled with rose petals. Her raised hand froze mid-air, and an unexpected wave of tender emotion washed over her.

Lu Yichen gently touched her head. “You’ve been worn out all day, Qiao Bao. You care about me, but I also care about you. Take a nice hot bath, and let’s get to bed early to rest.”

Seeing her clothes already prepared, Luo Qiao felt a sweetness in her heart.

After finishing her bath and changing, Lu Yichen cleaned up the tub.

When he returned, he naturally took the towel from Luo Qiao’s hands and helped her dry her hair. Looking at his delicate and lovely wife, he thought, if he didn’t act on this moment, it would be a disservice to himself.

So, once her hair was dry, Lu Yichen leaned in and whispered in her ear, “Qiao Bao, since your little head was wandering into places it shouldn’t just now, I’ve decided to take action.”

Before Luo Qiao could respond, she was already being carried upstairs.

Nestled in his arms, Luo Qiao gazed at his handsome face and was about to retort, “You really are…”

Before she could finish, her words were swallowed in a kiss.

The next day, Luo Qiao had just arrived at the hospital when she was immediately assigned to perform a surgery before even reaching the outpatient clinic.

As she came out of the operating room, a crowd instantly rushed toward her. “Doctor, how’s my nephew?”

“Doctor, how’s my younger cousin?”

Among the crowd stood several others at the back, looking rather disheveled.

When Luo Qiao first saw the injured patient, a thought crossed her mind: “What kind of person could inflict harm this severe? Just a bit worse, and this patient might’ve been gone altogether.”

Clearing her throat, she said, “His life has been saved, but the injuries are severe. Whether he can survive depends on his own will to live.”

With a tinge of indignation, she added, “If it weren’t for his luck, he might be in the morgue right now.”

The patient’s uncle, his eyes red, glared at the men standing in the rear. Gritting his teeth, he spat, “If my nephew has even the slightest mishap, I’ll make sure you all taste a bullet.”

“Qiu Minghai, you scum, you’re less than human! No—calling you an animal would be an insult to animals!”

Witnessing this scene, Luo Qiao roughly pieced together what had transpired. Glancing at the disheveled men, she shook her head and walked away.

She hadn’t gone far when she spotted several police officers heading their way.
