Chapter 1174: Chapter 1174: It’s Also Quite Nice to Stay Here with Jian Jian

“`

Chu Liyuan didn’t hear a word Jian Dan was saying; his gaze remained intently fixed on Jian Jian. Not having seen this lass for two days, his profound longing had completely filled his thoughts.

“Uncle, did you hear what I just said?”

Chu Liyuan said nothing; he cupped Jian Dan’s cheeks with one hand and the next second kissed her…

“Mmm~” Jian Dan was stunned for a second before slowly closing her eyes.

It’s great that Uncle is okay! Jian Dan sweetly thought in her heart.

The people who had followed and arrived above saw the scene in the pit and almost the same expressions appeared on their faces.

Li Jing shook his head~ Only Jian Dan could make Mr. Chu so principle-free. It seemed Mr. Chu hadn’t even considered whether he could get back out after going down.

Of course, as long as he was with Jian Dan, it wouldn’t matter where they were.

After Jian Dan and Chu Liyuan were rescued, Chu Liyuan took Jian Dan to his accommodation.

“Uncle, I’m sorry!” Jian Dan looked at Chu Liyuan and once again felt a rush of guilt.

“Why are you sorry?”

“Such a big incident happened at the company and I knew nothing. I’m really not a competent wife.”

“Fool~” Chu Liyuan said affectionately as he stroked Jian Dan’s hair.

“Uncle, why don’t you blame me? It makes me feel even worse!” Jian Dan pouted.

Chu Liyuan looked at Jian Dan with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, “Hmm, you’re right, I should properly punish Jian Jian!”

“Hmm?”

Chu Liyuan tilted Jian Dan’s chin up, and his lips descended…

Just as Chu Liyuan was about to further punish Jian Dan, there was a knock at the door.

Chu Liyuan stood up irritably, looking coldly toward the door. If looks could kill, the person at the door would have surely been dead from Chu Liyuan’s glare.

“Chu, it’s me!” came a pleasant female voice.

Chu Liyuan frowned and got up reluctantly, “Jian Jian is here waiting for me.”

Jian Dan saw a very pretty girl standing outside the door.

For some reason, seeing Uncle follow the girl out made Jian Dan’s heart quite uncomfortable.

She last felt this way when Wei Qianyi was around Uncle.

“Chu, we found something in the mine, I think you should take a look!” the girl said to Chu Liyuan.

“Let’s go see it tomorrow! I have other things to do today!” Chu Liyuan’s mind was filled with thoughts of Jian Jian.

“Chu, you know how important this is!”

“I know, let’s go take a look then!” Chu Liyuan conceded.

After the two left, they went straight into the mine…

Sitting in the minecart…

“Chu, is that your wife?”

“Yes!”

“She seems quite young!”

“So?”

“Nothing, I was just curious. I always thought you would never get married, or if you did, you would choose a woman who could help you in business.”

“Why would I need help with something I can do myself?” Chu Liyuan responded coldly.

“Right~ It seems you do care a lot about that lass!”

Chu Liyuan didn’t reply; he didn’t need to explain his feelings for Jian Jian to anyone.

Soon, they reached the deepest part of the mine~

“Chu, it’s really Zi Fei!” the girl said as she observed a hint of purple on the wall.

“Hmm!”

“It’s wonderful, I didn’t expect that the newly purchased mine would yield Zi Fei!” Excitement filled the woman’s face.

Chu Liyuan’s lips curled up slowly…

He had thought they’d been swindled, but now it had turned out to be a treasure!

Just as both their attention was captivated by the Zi Fei, the mine suddenly shook violently.

“What’s happening?”

“Don’t worry, this area often experiences minor earthquakes; it’ll pass in a moment,” the woman explained.

But things didn’t go as the woman said. The shaking not only didn’t stop, but also grew more intense, and even the walls began to shed stones.

“Chu, looks like we’ve hit the jackpot,” the woman said while steadying herself against the wall.

“You’re not telling me we’re in the middle of a big earthquake, are you?”

“Exactly. Minor earthquakes wouldn’t cause this kind of damage to the mine walls.”

In such a situation, they could only turn the minecart upside down to use as a shelter. The shaking grew stronger and lasted for about 7 or 8 minutes.

When they managed to push the cart away, they saw that the entrance had been sealed shut by falling rocks…
