Chapter 2484: Surprise

She took out her phone and called the director.

The director was in a daze and when he heard An Rui’s request to arrange for a female staff to accompany her, he said angrily, “Miss An, don’t you think that you can make unreasonable requests just because you’re popular?”

She only wanted to find someone to be her companion. How was it an unreasonable request?

“Director, it’s stormy. I can’t stay in the room alone…”

The director interrupted An Rui impatiently. “Look at the time. It’s already three in the morning. Even if there are female staff, they’re asleep now.”

“You’re already so old, what’s there to be afraid of?” The director said in a deep voice, “If you cover your head with the blanket or stuff some paper into your ears, won’t you not hear anything?”

Before An Rui could say anything, the director had already hung up.

An Rui swallowed with a pale face.

Holding her phone tightly, she squatted by the sofa and sent a message to Zhou Li.

An Rui: “Are you asleep?”

The other party replied almost immediately.

Zhou Li: “No, did the thunder scare you? Is there anyone with you?”

An Rui felt a lump in her throat.

The grievances she had suffered from the director and her fear surged towards her.

Tears welled up in her eyes. She sniffed and replied, “I can’t sleep.”

Zhou Li did not reply immediately. Just when she thought that he would ignore her, he called.

An Rui bit her lip as she answered his call.

“Ruirui, I’m outside.”

An Rui’s eyes widened.

He came to a small village?

An Rui’s legs reacted faster than her mind.

The surprise and surprise of him coming made her ignore her fear of lightning and thunder.

She ran out with her phone.

A familiar SUV was parked dozens of meters away from the wooden house.

The man’s tall and thin body was leaning against the front of the car, holding a phone in his hand.

Seeing her coming out, the man strode toward her.

An Rui did not care that there were cameras outside the wooden house. When Zhou Li walked towards her, she opened her arms and jumped into his arms.

Zhou Li picked her up and she wrapped her legs around his thin waist.

He carried her to the car.

Even so, they were still drenched by the rain.

Zhou Li took a clean towel from the car boot and handed it to An Rui.

After An Rui wiped her hair, she looked at the man in the driver’s seat. She leaned forward and wiped his wet short hair.

“I’ll take you to town.”

An Rui hummed softly.

She did not know if it was because she had not seen him for a long time or because his sudden arrival had given her too big a surprise, but An Rui remained silent the entire way.

Zhou Li glanced at her from time to time. Seeing that she was in a daze and curled up, he freed one hand from the steering wheel and held her slender and cold hand tightly.

The journey to town took nearly half an hour and Zhou Li found a hotel.

After entering the room, An Rui jumped into Zhou Li’s arms again.

Zhou Li patted her head lightly and said softly, “I’m here. Go in and take a bath. Don’t be afraid.”

An Rui pressed her face against his thin but broad shoulders, tears filling her eyes as her body trembled slightly.

There were so many things she wanted to say to him, but in the end, she only said, “Let’s go together.”

Hearing this, Zhou Li froze slightly.

An Rui looked up and tears soaked her face. Her eyes and nose were red and she choked. “Are you unwilling?”

“No…” Zhou Li frowned.” But…”

An Rui did not give him a chance to finish and wrapped her arms around his neck. “Carry me in.”

Zhou Li’s eyes under the lenses were dark and his Adam’s apple bobbed. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he grabbed An Rui’s slender waist and carried her into the bathroom.

She did not know who took the initiative, but the moment the shower was turned on and the hot water flowed down, they started to kiss each other.

In the end, An Rui was also carried out of the bathroom by Zhou Li.

Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled outside, but the night that belonged to them had just begun.

….

The next morning.

An Rui jolted awake from her dream.

Opening her eyes, she saw a handsome and firm chest.

She was dazed for a moment, but very quickly, everything that happened last night appeared in her mind.

She and Zhou Li…

An Rui looked up and met with a pair of dark and clear eyes.

“You’re awake?”

Zhou Li woke up the moment An Rui woke up.

He held the woman in his arms tightly. The moment she looked up, he hid the panic and regret in his heart.

“Ruirui, I was wrong last night. If you want to hit me, hit me hard.”

An Rui bit her lip slightly.

It was not like she had drunk too much and lost her memories. She remembered last night clearly.

She was the one who had taken the initiative.

Seeing him staring at her nervously, An Rui rubbed her forehead against his shoulder. “I won’t hit you, but…” She suddenly opened her mouth and bit his shoulder like an angry kitten.

“You went out for three months and even had a girlfriend outside, didn’t you?”

“No.” Zhou Li hugged the girl who wanted to break free from his arm and lowered his head to kiss her forehead. “Let me explain.”

Zhou Li told An Rui about Shen Mingxiu’s accident the night before Xia Fan’s wedding.

Hearing this, An Rui looked up at Zhou Li with a complicated gaze.

If it was anyone else, they would have long treated Shen Mingxiu as an enemy, right?

However, he ignored the past and persuaded him to go abroad for surgery. He even helped him do rehabilitation training.

An Rui bit Zhou Li’s shoulder again. “He asked you not to tell me and you really didn’t tell me? You made me think that you really cheated on me with someone else!”

Zhou Li let An Rui bite and pinch him. He lowered his head and buried his face in her neck.

“Ruirui, I’m sorry.”

An Rui was breathless from his hug, but her hands that were pinching him slowly wrapped around his thin waist.

She sniffled, her voice slightly choked. “Call me Baby.”

He laughed elegantly. “Baby.”

An Rui’s toes were numb.

She turned over and lay in his arms, looking down at him. “I want to punish you properly.” Lowering her head, she bit his lips.

….

An Rui received a call from the director and had no choice but to record the program again.

After breakfast, An Rui asked Zhou Li to stop at the entrance of the drugstore.

She asked Zhou Li to buy her medicine and water.

Seeing her take the medicine, Zhou Li regretted it.

An Rui could read his thoughts and said with a smile, “I forced you. You don’t have to blame yourself!”

Zhou Li pursed his lips tightly and reached out to pull An Rui into his arms.

He had never dreamed that she would give him the most precious thing. At first, he did not mind this, because she had been with Shen Mingxiu before and they had a good relationship when they were dating. He thought that she and Shen Mingxiu had long…

“Baby, I won’t let you down.”

An Rui patted the man’s back, a smile on her lips. “I know. You said that several times last night.”
