Living Apart

After getting permission, Lin Nannan didn't give Yin Xu a chance to go back on his word. She immediately headed down the mountain with A Jian and A Da, where she encountered Lu Hang, who hadn't returned for a full day and night.

With bloodshot eyes, Lu Hang saw Lin Nannan rushing down the mountain and called out urgently, "Nan Nan, where are you going?"

Seeing how haggard Lu Hang looked, Lin Nannan asked anxiously, "Where have you been? Did something happen at home?"

Seeing her rush down, Lu Hang knew she had been worried since he hadn't returned.

"Everything's fine at home. My uncle was arrested earlier, and my aunt helped us catch the people responsible. But those people didn’t plan to let my uncle go—they leaked information in front of him, trying to use Big Brother and the others against us. After warning Big Brother, I was busy interrogating the suspects and tracking down those who escaped. I’ve been working nonstop until now..." Lu Hang rubbed his temples as he explained.

Hearing this, Lin Nannan breathed a sigh of relief. "Were Mom and Dad scared?"

"No, my aunt was brilliant. She pretended to go along with them and informed me right away. We just couldn’t act rashly before finding my uncle. Once we confirmed the situation, we took action. My uncle was beaten and injured, but it’s nothing serious—no life-threatening danger," Lu Hang explained.

Seeing how exhausted he was, Lin Nannan reached out and took his hand. "If everything’s fine at home, I won’t go back. I’ll stay with you and see that you get some rest."

Lu Hang nodded. "I still have a report to write. After I finish, we can go back together."

Lin Nannan felt this might not happen, but knowing he was concerned about their daughter, she didn’t object.

Before even reaching the foot of the mountain, Lin Nannan turned back. She told A Da and A Jian to rest while she accompanied Lu Hang to his place.

Although they were married, they didn’t live together. Seeing how orderly Lu Hang’s place was, Lin Nannan, who considered herself hopeless at managing daily life, said to him, "We’re so close—we could live together and free up an extra room."

As Lu Hang changed clothes, he listened to her murmuring. The once quiet room suddenly felt lively, bringing a faint smile to his lips...

"I can explain this," Lu Hang said quickly, noticing her reaction. "I brought it up when I first arrived, but they said our schedules are different, and they were worried I’d disturb your rest, so they didn’t allow us to live together."

"Really? I had no idea," Lin Nannan said in surprise.

"Why would I lie to you?" Lu Hang chuckled.

Lin Nannan scratched her head. "So, as long as I don’t mind, we can still live together, right?"

Lu Hang asked curiously, "Do you really want to live with me that much?"

This didn’t seem like her usual demeanor.

"Well, you’re so organized, and I’m not!" Lin Nannan said sheepishly.

Lu Hang laughed helplessly. "I thought you couldn’t bear to leave me alone in an empty room. Turns out you just see me as your personal organizer."

He hadn’t expected this—he’d clearly overthought it before. This wife of his was rather heartless, which was honestly a bit disappointing!

Lin Nannan shot him a playful glare. "So, are you willing or not?"

Lu Hang finished changing and sat down beside her. "Why wouldn’t I be? We’re husband and wife—it’s not like we’re doing anything shameful."

The fact that they didn’t live together was stranger than if they did. What he didn’t tell Lin Nannan was that living hundreds of meters apart made others think he was being rejected.
