Attention Sir, I Have Your Heart Handcuffed!-Chapter 591 - 437, (Second Update)

"What does Miss want to do? Now that Mr. Tang is by your side, there’s no need for me. Besides, I have a task here."

Li Le Wen was still uneasy about the basement. If he left, he feared someone would discover George’s true condition.

Xia Zuo shrugged, "Mr. Tang also knows that your task here cannot be relaxed even for a moment. He said that neither I nor Senmu can match your understanding of George, so it’s most prudent for you to conduct the interrogation. But Miss wants to see you, and Mr. Tang can’t always refuse, so just go up and say hello."

Xia Zuo reminded, "Remember, George is in Mr. Tang’s hands. Miss must not find out."

Li Le Wen felt relieved, stubbed out his cigarette, "Alright, I’ll head up then."

Xia Zuo grabbed his arm, "Take a shower first, you’re covered in blood."

Li Le Wen laughed, "Got it."

.

Half an hour later, Li Le Wen appeared refreshed in front of Shi Nian.

Shi Nian was indeed delighted and quickly stood up, "Xiao Li, you’re here, come and sit. You left without saying goodbye to me."

Li Le Wen stepped forward and bowed, "That was my fault. It was still early morning when I left, and I didn’t want to disturb sister-in-law’s rest."

Shi Nian nodded sadly, "Jieyou loved playing hide and seek with Uncle Xiao Li. After you left, Jieyou talked about you for days."

They used to appreciate Li Le Wen’s patience with children, but now it seemed all part of a ploy.

Li Le Wen smiled awkwardly, "When Young Miss returns, I’ll play with her again. Don’t worry, sister-in-law, the Young Miss is blessed."

Shi Nian looked at him quietly, "Do you really say that? That’s great, since you said it, I dared to believe."

These words made Li Le Wen feel something was off, but thinking it was because Shi Nian knew him, he’d assumed that’s why she believed his words.

After some small talk, Li Le Wen didn’t dare stay away from the basement too long, so he bowed and asked, "May I know if sister-in-law has any special instructions for calling me up?"

Shi Nian nodded, suddenly approached, and whispered, "I want you to accompany me out, I need to buy a few things." As she spoke, her face flushed, "You know, women’s needs."

Li Le Wen frowned, "But Mr. Tang has ordered no one is to go out, and besides, it’s chaotic outside..."

"I know, but those things can’t be without. That’s why I asked you. With you accompanying me, it won’t be dangerous." Shi Nian’s face turned even redder, "You’re almost the only one I know besides Mr. Tang here. This matter I could only bring up with you, I can’t mention it to others."

Li Le Wen understood. Indeed, there are things women use that are indispensable during certain days each month.

He pondered for a moment, "Why don’t sister-in-law tell me what kind of things you need, and I’ll buy them for you."

Shi Nian’s face reddened as if it would burst into flame, "... No, that won’t do. In the end, I need to buy them myself to feel reassured."

Li Le Wen was still hesitant, "But Mr. Tang..."

Shi Nian "shushed", "Don’t tell him. But even if he knows, he would understand that this matter is essential."

Li Le Wen turned to look out the window.

Since entering this inn, he hadn’t found a reason to go out for days. Today, he had a reason.

He nodded, "In that case, let’s prepare and leave in ten minutes."

.

Under the cover of night, Shi Nian and Li Le Wen left.

Even though Shi Nian didn’t understand firearms, she could tell that besides the submachine gun Li Le Wen carried, he also concealed various guns of different sizes within his clothing.

She also wore a bulletproof vest and felt like a bear walking.

Even in a war-torn Kingdom, there were still daring merchants keeping their stores open. However, like their inn, the stores were guarded by heavily armed bodyguards.

She patiently visited several shops, carefully choosing some items. At the very least, from Li Le Wen’s perspective, she was indeed shopping, driven by a woman’s nature.

Throughout the process, Li Le Wen perfectly played the role of a bodyguard, carefully protecting her and staying alert.

Shi Nian became even more patient and decided to use delaying tactics to wear down Li Le Wen’s patience.

Only by wearing down his patience can this layer of dutiful facade be removed. Then, when he gets impatient, he’ll start to harbor his own thoughts and want to do his own things.

Shi Nian passed by a beauty salon and stopped at the entrance.

Li Le Wen was at a loss, because which man didn’t know that when women started with beauty treatments, they completely forgot what time was.

He cautiously advised, "Sister-in-law, this isn’t suitable. We’ve been out for quite a while. The gentleman might get anxious waiting."

"It’s fine." Shi Nian stubbornly insisted, "The gentleman isn’t here; he’s gone out to meet Mr. Tang. They have important matters to discuss and said they might return late tonight, or possibly not at all."

Li Le Wen closed his eyes briefly, "I remember in Mo Ya Village, sister-in-law didn’t particularly like beauty treatments either."

Shi Nian laughed, "There weren’t any beauty salons in Mo Ya Village. Besides, Mo Ya Village wasn’t so dry and full of sandstorms. I feel like my skin is nearly ruined. It’s rare to come across a beauty salon that’s still open, so I’d better not miss it."

She patted him, "Don’t worry, I’m just going for a simple treatment and then I’ll leave."

Without paying attention to Li Le Wen, Shi Nian walked straight into the beauty salon. Li Le Wen was so anxious that he stomped his feet but had no way to change the situation.

Waiting for a woman to finish beauty treatments is really something that makes a man feel like facing the vastness of the universe. Li Le Wen gradually became restless, stood up, and paced around the small foyer twice. When he met the beautician coming out, asking how much longer it would take, the beautician told him the entire treatment would take about two hours, and there was still another hour to go.

Li Le Wen frustratedly pushed the door and went outside.

He was also a cautious person. Accompanying Shi Nian outside, he naturally didn’t dare go alone. From a distance, he scattered some subordinates to follow at different levels.

Standing on the steps, he irritably lowered his eyes to look at his watch and eventually gave up waiting. He walked down the steps and instructed his subordinates to guard carefully while he went to have dinner.

His subordinates jokingly smiled, assuming that when he said to have dinner, he actually meant finding a girl: "Brother Li, go ahead, will half an hour be enough?"

Li Le Wen also smiled, kicked at his subordinate, and didn’t deny it; he then walked away.

He was pleased to let his subordinates think he was going to find a girl, thereby covering up his real purpose.

He needed to go see Jieyou.

.

Throughout the journey, he indeed took advantage of escorting George and brought Jieyou along. However, upon arriving here, Huangfu Huazhang, out of safety concerns, booked the entire hotel and gathered all his subordinates inside. Thus, he had to devise ways to settle Jieyou outside the hotel first.

Every few days, he had to find excuses to go out and see Jieyou, bringing some food and daily necessities, fearing that the child couldn’t withstand the long journey and the climate here.

Objectively speaking, he also thought Jieyou was just a card in George’s hand, used to restrict Huangfu Huazhang. George wanted Huangfu Huazhang dead, but it shouldn’t cost this child’s life.

Once in Mo Ya Village... This little child of noble identity didn’t mind smearing mud all over and hugged several long lotus roots to knock on his door, eagerly delivering them for him to try.

At this moment, when he closed his eyes, he still saw that innocent smiling face of the child, and the cheeks originally even whiter and tenderer than the lotus roots, painted with mud like a little kitten.

He remembered how, after being surprised at that time, he couldn’t help but smile from the heart and say, "Where did this lotus-root doll come from?"

Precisely because Jieyou trusted him, the child didn’t cry or fuss along the way, earnestly taking his lies as truth.

Walking into the dilapidated building, he took a deep breath while knocking on the door.

The subordinate opened the door, and he walked in. Little Jieyou holding a large stuffed elephant rushed out, "Uncle Xiao Li——"

The sweet child’s voice, still unaware of the situation. Continues treating Uncle Xiao Li as a reliable elder, listening to him and obediently waiting here for daddy and mommy to pick her up.

Li Le Wen’s eyes warmed slightly; he reached out and hugged the little child, softly asking, "Have you been happy these days?"

Jieyou nodded seriously, "Happy."

She turned big white around to show Li Le Wen, "I told big white stories." She tilted her head, smiling somewhat sadly, "The stories mommy told me, I told them all to big white one by one."

She looked up, tears quietly welling up in her large eyes.

"Uncle Xiao Li, the stories mommy told me are almost finished being told to big white. Why hasn’t mommy come yet? Uncle Xiao Li, tell me, when will daddy and mommy come to pick up Jieyou?"

Li Le Wen’s heart churned with emotions, sniffed, and comforted, "Jieyou, remember, we’ve also traveled for a long time on this journey. So, when daddy and mommy come, they also have to travel for a long time. The road isn’t easy; sometimes there might even be wars, so daddy and mommy need to be careful, right? Be good, Jieyou. Just be patient, and daddy and mommy will surely come."

Li Le Wen didn’t know that on the other side of the ruined wall, Shi Nian was pressing a stethoscope tightly against it.
