It was two months later when Shen Yao officially returned to work.

In fact, her body had already recovered under the careful care of the system and Xu Zhi, but the organization still insisted on giving her several months of sick leave.

During the time she was resting at home, she also learned some new skills and knowledge since she had nothing to do anyway.

Usually during the day, she would spend half the day staying in the study reading and studying by herself. At night, after Xu Zhi got off work, they basically stayed together, sticky and affectionate, and almost inseparable.

Now that she has returned to her normal working state, she and Xu Zhi go to work together during the day, basically stay together during work, and go home together after get off work.

Sometimes when they got off work early, they would go to the cemetery to see Xu Sheng and tell him some interesting stories that happened recently in the afterglow of the sunset.

Once, after leaving the cemetery, on the way home, when they were almost home, Xu Zhi suddenly asked Shen Yao: "By the way, your parents..."

As soon as he said this, he suddenly remembered that Shen Yao had said a long time ago, before she revealed her true identity in front of him, that she grew up in an orphanage.

If that's the case, then she probably doesn't know who her parents are and has never met them, right?

What about what he was about to say about visiting her parents when he has time...

Forget it, he should just take back what he said, so that she wouldn't think of something sad and affect her mood.

The car stopped in the yard. Shen Yao unbuckled her seat belt and said without even looking up, "My parents? They are all overseas. They are usually very busy and don't come back very often."

Xu Zhi was stunned for a moment, feeling mixed emotions.

So...how many nonsense had she made up in order to hide her true identity in front of him?

He took every single one of them seriously.

After getting off the car, Shen Yao continued to tell him about her parents' situation: "They divorced a long time ago, and now they have reorganized new families abroad. When I was in college, they both gave me a large sum of money, and then they didn't contact me much."

Moreover, they rarely replied when she sent them messages. It was quite obvious that they didn't want to be disturbed because they had a new family.

That huge sum of money was enough for her to live well on her own. Perhaps they had already planned something before.

Xu Zhi felt distressed when he heard this. He held her hand tightly and walked into the house, saying, "From now on, I will spend every day with you."

He also thought about the shock and disbelief he felt when he found out that she was Zhou Cheng's subordinate, and his desire to capture her himself, keep her by his side, and make her take off her mask and be honest with him.

Now, everything in the past is no longer important, only the present is important.

……

Time moves forward day by day.

Soon after, it was Shen Yao's first long holiday since returning to work.

She and Xu Zhi planned to sleep in at home for a day and then drive out for a few days of self-driving tour.

The aunt at home has gone back to her hometown for the holiday, and now there are only two of them left at home.

They came back after having dinner outside, so there was no need to do anything when they got home. They just washed up and changed into home clothes, then lay on the sofa and watched a movie leisurely together.

However, when they were only halfway through the movie, the atmosphere made them kiss each other naturally.

Not long after, there was the sound of Xu Zhi carrying someone back to the bedroom.

Anyway...

Three days and three nights later——

They hurriedly picked up the luggage they had packed earlier, seized the little remaining vacation time, and happily went out on a road trip.
