Chapter 709: Chapter 709: Let Me Check the Monkey’s Butt

A certain secret military airport.

As a helicopter slowly touched down on the tarmac,

Xu Zhi Rou, now in civilian clothes, immediately crouched and scurried out.

After saluting the person beside her, she quickly got into the Jeep that had been prepared in advance.

With her foot on the accelerator, her heart still fluttered with unease.

The news of her return, she hadn’t shared with anyone else; instead, she had contacted Ning Mengyao alone.

She merely wanted to get an update on Lin Fan from the sidelines, and she asked not to make a fuss about it.

Thus, the two agreed to meet at Lu Feifei’s villa.

According to Ning Mengyao, Lu Feifei had taken a plane back to Modu at noon that day.

So she could take refuge there for the coming days.

Clutching the steering wheel, Xu Zhi Rou was unaware of how she would spend the days ahead.

Even less did she know how to face Lin Fan.

After all, from his perspective, she was nothing but a deserter.

A coward who had abandoned him, yet had rushed back the moment she learned of his recovery.

Hence, she really didn’t know how to explain to Lin Fan or how to articulate her own experiences of the past month and a half.

Lin Fan, as a soldier, would definitely be aware of the military exercise rules.

There couldn’t have been a battle that lasted so long.

"Screech!"

As Xu Zhi Rou pressed the brakes, she arrived at the villa’s entrance following the location sent by Ning Mengyao.

Looking at the slightly ajar gate, she took a deep breath.

Next, all she could do was have a good talk with Ning Mengyao.

"Meng Yao!"

As the door was pushed open, Xu Zhi Rou stepped inside.

But gazing at the empty living room, she saw no sign of Ning Mengyao.

At that moment, a faint noise from upstairs led her up the staircase to the corridor.

With her keen hearing, she could tell it was the sound of water coming from behind a slightly open bedroom door.

She figured that Ning Mengyao must have rushed over immediately after work, so taking a bath was quite normal.

After all, bathing is a woman’s instinct, and a comfortable chat afterwards isn’t a bad idea either.

So she reached out and pushed the ajar door open.

"Ah!"

But unexpectedly, before she could even step inside, her wrist was abruptly seized.

By the time she realized what was happening, she had already been swept into an embrace.

Frightened, Xu Zhi Rou let out a scream and instinctively tried to smash her elbow into the captor’s crown.

This strike, she delivered with all her might.

Unexpectedly, her elbow struck something that felt as solid as iron, causing searing pain.

"I finally wake up, and you’re trying to kill me?"

The voice of Lin Fan drifted to her, snapping Xu Zhi Rou back to reality.

Hurriedly, she braced her hands against his shoulders, just as she saw his handsome face.

"Lin Fan... how is it you!"

She never imagined that he would be the one waiting for her.

This left Xu Zhi Rou both stunned and delighted.

While she was naturally pleased by his clear eyes, the surprise was that she hadn’t been ready to see him yet.

"Who else could it be?"

Lin Fan smirked as he set her down, looking at her thin face and said, "You’ve been gone for so long and didn’t contact me as soon as you came back, but you called Ning Mengyao instead. What, did you not miss me?"

"How could I not... I... I just didn’t dare to see you!"

Xu Zhi Rou quickly shook her head, her cheeks flushing.

In the past three months, she had seen Lin Fan countless times in her dreams.

Yet faced with the living, breathing him, she felt inexplicably nervous.

"Why are you afraid to see me?"

Lin Fan smiled as he lifted her chin.

It was evident that she had suffered quite a bit these past three months.

She became thinner and her skin had darkened.

"Because... I left..."

Xu Zhi Rou pursed her lips, her voice laced with timidity.

Even though her conscience was clear, at this moment, she still felt guilty.

"After being away for three months, were you secretly dating someone behind my back?"

Lin Fan looked at Xu Zhi Rou with a mischievous smile.

"No... Of course not... I was just at a military exercise... It’s just that..."

Xu Zhi Rou quickly shook her head.

But Lin Fan interrupted her before she could finish, "How could there be a military exercise that lasts three months? I guess Prince Zhen Nan must have set you up so you had to stay there and couldn’t leave. Now, after hearing the news from the Dragon Emperor that I’ve recovered, they finally put your exercise on hold."

"You... how do you know all this... Do you have an informant?"

Xu Zhi Rou looked at Lin Fan in astonishment.

"I don’t have the means to plant someone by Prince Zhen Nan’s side. Though I have no informant, I do have a brain. I guessed that he, upon learning that I had become comatose, would definitely try to transfer you away to purposefully separate us."

Lin Fan’s words already explained everything.

"I’m sorry..."

Xu Zhi Rou lowered her head, ready to apologize, but Lin Fan stopped her.

"There’s no need to apologize. After all, I can understand Prince Zhen Nan’s thinking. Who would want their daughter to be around a comatose man all day? It’s just that he didn’t anticipate that, let alone three months, even three years wouldn’t be enough to separate us because I’ve already stolen someone’s heart."

"I..."

Xu Zhi Rou’s cheeks flushed as she looked at Lin Fan.

With just a sentence or two, he had said everything she wanted to express.

"What ’I’? What does all this have to do with you? Plus, your dad probably didn’t expect that a certain someone had once bathed me and even did such things to me."

Lin Fan said with a wicked smile, pulling Xu Zhi Rou’s willful waist into his embrace.

Thanks to regular exercise, his muscles were even more streamlined.

"Ah... How could you... know..."

Xu Zhi Rou felt her cheeks burning hot.

To think that at the time she gave Lin Fan a bath, it had been just the two of them.

The little actions she took were purely out of curiosity.

"Because during those six months, I actually knew about everything that was happening around me. So, I clearly remember someone telling me before leaving that, once the exercise ended, she would come back and have my babies."

Lin Fan said with a sly grin as he started to undo Xu Zhi Rou’s collar buttons.

Her confession was etched in every word in his memory.

"I... I..."

Xu Zhi Rou, at this moment, felt like a puppet.

Having never experienced such intimacy before, she didn’t know what to do.

She just stood there, not daring to move an inch.

Letting Lin Fan’s ’devil’s claws’ undo the buttons at her chest.

"You’ve bathed me before; isn’t it my turn now? And I also need to check a certain place to see if there’s any reaction."

Lin Fan casually picked up Xu Zhi Rou by her waist and strode towards the bathroom with a bad-boy grin.

"I... Can I do it myself... please?"

Xu Zhi Rou felt as if she were about to suffocate, unsure of where to put her hands and feet.

"No way. Since you’ve already talked about having babies with me, I need to do a thorough check."

Lin Fan said, before placing Xu Zhi Rou down in the bathtub.

Then he pulled off his towel and sat down as well.

"Check... what!"

Although it wasn’t their first time being so exposed to one another, Xu Zhi Rou didn’t know how to handle the situation.

She could only look at Lin Fan timidly.

"Of course, I have to check to see if the little female monkey who is going to have my babies has a bottom red enough!"
