Chapter 2697: All It Did Was Prove Cheng Fei’s Innocence
Whether it was due to a preconceived bias or not, Ning Shu felt that Cheng Fei murdered Ai Yun.
The original host believed that her husband had killed her.
However, Ning Shu just couldn’t catch Cheng Fei’s slimy tail. The evidence she already had, namely the brake cables and the chloroformed handkerchief also couldn’t be concretely linked to him either.
She’d thought that the kidnapping case would be enough to make the police suspect Cheng Fei, but all it did was prove Cheng Fei’s innocence.
Ning Shu stared at Cheng Fei, who was sitting across from her. His features were picturesque, and his face was a little pale. He looked like a handsome, but sad man, who was gazing up at the bright sky with his head tilted.
“Ai Yun, when you stare at me like this—is it because you think I’m good-looking? You don’t feel like getting divorced with me anymore?” Cheng Fei asked. “I really don’t understand. If you take me out, you can show me off to your friends. I can also give you a great and stable life, so why do you insist on divorcing me? Is it because I’m not good enough in some way?”
Ning Shu spread her hands and said, “You’re good enough.”
“Cheng Fei, let’s go on a trip. If we can still stand each other by the end of it, then we won’t get a divorce,” Ning Shu said.
It was said that couples who loved each other should go on a trip. If they still loved each other after the trip, they should get married.
During the journey, they’d encounter many problems. These problems would test their ability to adapt, and the couple would be able to see each other’s true character and ability.
Ning Shu decided to take the initiative and launch an attack. She couldn’t be so passive all the time.
Cheng Fei’s eyes lit up. Immediately, he said, “Okay.
“You can just tell me when and where we are going, so I can make arrangements for the clinic and focus on traveling with you.
“Ah, right—are we going by ourselves or going with a travel group?” Cheng Fei was clearly very interested in the suggestion.
“What do you think? Is it better to go on our own or with a group?” Ning Shu asked.
“We can go on our own,” Cheng Fei said with a smile. “I’ll arrange it all properly, so don’t worry. Where do you want to go?”
“What do you think is a good place to go?”
Cheng Fei had yet to stop smiling. He had a very happy expression on his face as he said, “Shall we go mountaineering or diving? Ai Yun, which one do you like better?”
“What is mountaineering?” Could it be normal hiking?
“We can go rock climbing.”
Ning Shu: …
“What about diving, where are we going to dive?”
“We can go to the coast.”
Jesus, all the choices were so dangerous! Ning Shu didn’t dare to risk her life. Whether to climb rocks or dive both presented danger to her—a degree of danger too high for her to take.
Ning Shu cherished her little life very much. While it was fine to seek something adrenaline-inducing, Ning Shu preferred her peaceful, long days much more.
Seeing how Ning Shu didn’t respond to him, Cheng Fei thought for a while and said, “Then why don’t we go to the desert?”
Ning Shu: …
Why couldn’t they go somewhere normal and just see the scenery?
If they go to the desert, they might end up getting buried there.
Without mentioning that she might have to drink her own saliva, what if there was a sandstorm? Plus, sand would be the only thing she’d get to see in a desert. Looking at just sand really made people feel despair, how was it suitable as a relaxation event?
Cheng Fei sure had a really unusual taste. Couldn’t he choose a place that was more romantic?
Ning Shu spread her hands. “Which do you like the most?”
“How about going to the desert after all? Even if something happens, our corpses won’t rot. It will desiccate and become naturally-made mummies.”
Ning Shu: …
