Chapter 373: Reunion
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Shen Xiaoxiao’s heart palpitated slightly as she looked at the surface of the lake. She did not know if the changes in the lake water were related to Yan Kuan, so she could only wait there anxiously. However, just as Shen Xiaoxiao threw the oxygen bottle down… A female voice sounded.
Shen Xiaoxiao subconsciously turned her head back and saw that An Ning had walked here without her noticing. Wasn’t she supposed to be in the main courtyard? Why was she here?
“Shen Xiaoxiao? Why are you here? Who let you in? And what did you throw in there just now?”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at An Ning, who was making a big fuss. She smiled and said to her, “Who do you think I am to be able to enter the Ouyang family at this time? Naturally, I’m a member of your family. As for what I threw in the lake, do you want to go down and look for it? Anyway, you look very hot right now. Why don’t you go in and cool off?”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean it literally. Look at you. You’re sweating all over. Your makeup is ruined.”
An Ning knew that she was sweating profusely, but it wasn’t because she was hot. It was because she was scared. The later the old man woke up, the greater the danger she was in. When the pa.s.sing sisters spoke to her just now, they were getting more and more impolite. She almost blurted out that she was the old man’s woman.
She had also run out to avoid her good sisters, but she didn’t want to miss the old man waking up, so she didn’t walk far to the lake to wait for him to wake up.
She just didn’t expect to see Shen Xiaoxiao here. She really didn’t expect to see her here.
“I heard that you were taken in by Pei Li. Why did Yan Kuan abandon you? How pitiful. You were abandoned by someone while you were pregnant.”
Shen Xiaoxiao saw that An Ning still had the mood to interrogate her. She was really anxious for her IQ.
“It’s just that everyone is returning to their own places. Do you think that a man would be willing to acknowledge a child who is not his own as his own flesh and blood?”
An Ning was shocked. What did Shen Xiaoxiao mean?
“What do you mean?”
“An Ning, can you use your brain more? What do you think I mean? Who is the father of the child in my belly? What do you think? Why did Pei Li bring me into the Ouyang family? Ai, no wonder. No wonder you’re so stupid to be willing to follow an old man who is more than 60 years older than you.”
“B*tch, what did you say?”
“If you have the time to be angry, you might as well go back and guard the old man. Otherwise, I’m afraid you’ll have a hard time in the future.”
Gu gu gu gu!
“What’s that sound?”
The two of them were originally in high spirits, but suddenly, there was a sound coming from the center of the lake, causing both of them to be stunned at the same time. When she saw that An Ning was about to turn around to look, Shen Xiaoxiao did not think twice and strode over, her hand knife landing on An Ning’s neck. She fell to the ground.
Only then did Shen Xiaoxiao look towards the center of the lake. Fortunately, her eyesight was heaven-defying. Indeed, she saw a black shadow swimming desperately towards her from the center of the lake.
Shen Xiaoxiao’s heart was beating extremely fast. Could it be Yan Kuan? Could it be?
20 meters, 15 meters. They were getting closer and closer. At this moment, Shen Xiaoxiao was certain that the person was Yan Kuan. If not for her pregnant belly, Shen Xiaoxiao would have jumped into the lake by now.
However, a scene that shocked Shen Xiaoxiao also appeared. It was only two meters away from Yan Kuan at most. A patch of silver water was chasing behind Yan Kuan. With one look, it was obvious that there was definitely something wrong with the water. Shen Xiaoxiao’s heart immediately jumped to her throat. ‘Hurry up, swim faster.’
As expected, Yan Kuan was carrying the oxygen bottle on his back. His mouth and nose were covered, and his ears seemed to be covered. Only his eyes and the skin on his face were exposed.
Shen Xiaoxiao’s heart was in her throat, but she did not dare to shout. She could only stand there anxiously.
No one could help him now, and he could only rely on himself to swim over. She did not know how long Yan Kuan had been floating in the water, or how long he had been swimming. However, she was still clear about his physical strength. However, since the accident yesterday, Yan Kuan had not drank a drop of water for at least one day and one night. No matter how strong he was, he was probably exhausted and still had to get out.
His movements looked a little strenuous, but his speed did not slow down at all.
There were already some dead fish floating on the surface of the lake. Shen Xiaoxiao could only stand there and pray. ‘Faster, faster.’
When Yan Kuan saw Shen Xiaoxiao, his heart was also very anxious. He could even feel that the heat wave behind him was less than a meter away from him.
Just as Yan Kuan was about to reach the surface of the lake, the silver water was already an arm’s length away from him. Shen Xiaoxiao did not know where she got the courage from. One of her legs crossed the lake and sat on the sh.o.r.e. The other leg went straight into the water. When Yan Kuan saw it, he grabbed her leg, and with a strong force, both of them fell to the sh.o.r.e.
Fortunately, Yan Kuan was prepared to help Shen Xiaoxiao. Otherwise, with such a big belly, she would have fallen from the half-meter-high sh.o.r.e. It would have been strange if she had not been hurt.
Yan Kuan was so tired that he panicked. It took him half an hour to swim here. Fortunately, an oxygen tank floated over. Otherwise, he would have drowned when he was at the bottom of the water.
After taking a breath, Yan Kuan stood up and looked at Shen Xiaoxiao carefully. After making sure that she was fine, he pulled her into his arms. This d*mn woman dared to climb to the sh.o.r.e. She was not afraid of anything happening! She was simply too bold!
“I’ll go back and settle the score with you. You’re getting bolder and bolder. Look at the lake water and look at those fish and prawns. It’s highly poisonous.”
“You still have the nerve to talk to me? You clearly said that I would be able to see you after sleeping for a while, but I haven’t seen you even after sleeping for quite a while.”
Shen Xiaoxiao’s complaints made Yan Kuan’s heart ache terribly.
Pulling her up, he saw that she had met An Ning beside them. He did not say anything about helping her up. He turned his head to look at the lake water that had completely changed color and the floating dead fish and prawns. He could not describe the feeling in his heart.
Since they had already found him, Shen Xiaoxiao naturally had to bring Yan Kuan out of here. The two of them continued to return through the small path. However, Yan Kuan had to be careful. He hid very well. Now that all the corner doors and main doors were locked, it was not easy to get out… Although the two of them could do it, Shen Xiaoxiao’s big belly made Yan Kuan not dare to take any risks.
When they returned to the room that had been prepared for Shen Xiaoxiao, the first thing Yan Kuan did was to pull Shen Xiaoxiao into the shower. He did not know if the water had touched even a little, but he did not dare to be careful. The shower was filled with mist…
Shen Xiaoxiao was immersed in this reunion once again. Yan Kuan kissed her pa.s.sionately. He really did not dare to recall the sight of Shen Xiaoxiao sitting there without caring about her life and pulling him back. Perhaps this was the only woman in this world… The only person who could do this for him was this woman.
He moved gently and carefully, afraid that he would hurt her. Their love was pa.s.sionate and infatuated. When danger came a few times, the two of them endured it together. They were more afraid of losing each other than anyone else because they knew that to them… Not only was she his life, but he was also her life!
In the bedroom, he carried the sleepy beauty back to the bed. Just as they laid down, there was another knock on the door. Not only that, Pei Li’s voice was heard, scaring Shen Xiaoxiao so much that her drowsiness disappeared without a trace.
“Xiaoxiao, are you asleep?”
