Chapter 1767: Chapter 1767: Chasing After My Wife Across a Thousand Miles
Luo Xuyuan walked out while calling Lu Yichen, patting his forehead with his hand to keep himself calm.
He was just worried that if his wife went out and something happened, there would be no one to reason with.
Lu Yichen took a long time to answer the phone: "Hello, second brother."
Luo Xuyuan spoke quickly, too embarrassed to care: "Yichen, quickly find someone to help me check where your second sister-in-law went after leaving home. Don’t ask why, just find someone, and be quick."
Lu Yichen was confused but still followed his instructions, getting someone to check the intersection surveillance. He saw that second sister-in-law took a taxi and ended up at the train station.
In the end, Luo Xuyuan found his cousin-in-law Zhang Haiming, who helped him check the ticket office surveillance and found out she bought a ticket to Hai Market.
Luo Xuyuan finally had no choice but to contact Xiao Ya’s supervisor, and found out that Xiao Ya was on a business trip.
Standing at the station, he was anxious and asked his cousin-in-law Zhang Haiming, learning that there was a fast train to Hai Market at nine o’clock tonight, which would arrive half an hour earlier than Xiao Ya’s regular train. He quickly bought a sleeper ticket, prepared to chase his wife across thousands of miles.
After getting the ticket, he said goodbye to his cousin-in-law before leaving the station.
He had to return to arrange things at the company, not knowing how many days he would be gone. There was also a project in Hai Market that needed following up, so he might as well handle it personally.
Fortunately, the children were in military training, otherwise, he would have had to explain to them. He thought to himself that once he found his wife, he would figure out how to deal with her. She had really grown some nerve, running off without asking for the details, thinking he would always cater to her.
Neither of the siblings dared to tell their family about this, fearing more unnecessary trouble.
After arranging everything, Luo Xuyuan went home, packed a few clothes, and headed straight for the train station. He was really anxious, afraid that the silly girl would get into more trouble because she was upset.
He also blamed himself for choosing that restaurant to dine out. If they had gone to another place, maybe the wet floor wouldn’t have led to a slip, and Xiao Ya wouldn’t have misunderstood.
He exhaled a frustrated sigh, thinking about Xiao Ya, feeling both angry and distressed. Angry that she didn’t trust him, pained that she must be very sad now. He really wished he could drag her over right now to ask what she was thinking. Hadn’t he been good enough to her? How come she felt so insecure?
Meanwhile, Xiao Ya was lying in a berth, letting her thoughts run wild, wondering if what she’d seen was true. Should she silently endure for the sake of the children, or should she just let go? Thinking and thinking, she fell asleep.
She didn’t know that her man was already on a fast train chasing after her.

After dinner, back in the room, Lu Yichen asked, "Qiaoqiao, what exactly is going on with second brother and sister-in-law today?"
Luo Qiao placed the fruit Lu Yichen had prepared for her after dinner on the side table, not answering directly, and instead said, "Come over and help press my head."
Lu Yichen hurried over: "Is your head uncomfortable?"
Luo Qiao said, "A bit heavy, it’s not too serious. Just help me massage it."
Lu Yichen pulled up a chair: "Do you want to take some medicine?"
Luo Qiao shook her head: "No need, I’m a doctor, I would know. Just busy today, tired, it’ll be fine soon."
Lu Yichen reached out and started massaging her: "Don’t push yourself so hard in the future. What can’t be done today can be done tomorrow. Insisting that today’s work must be done today, isn’t that making things difficult for yourself?"
Luo Qiao said calmly, "Anyway, it won’t go away. It always has to be done. Doing today’s work today is good for both myself and others."
Lu Yichen laughed at her obstinately: "Really don’t know what to do with you, but you should take care of yourself, tiring yourself out. Isn’t it yourself who suffers, plus making me and the kids worried?"
Luo Qiao looked up at Lu Yichen, smiling lightly: "Did someone put honey on your lips?"
Lu Yichen deliberately bowed his head: "You want to try? Clearly, it’s sincere, yet you insist on misinterpreting."
Luo Qiao hugged his neck with one arm: "Got any objections?"
But her hands didn’t stop: "How could I dare, is the pressure okay?"
Luo Qiao softly said, "It’s alright, you can press harder."
