The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man-Chapter 120 - 119: Her Man’s Prowess
A scream nearly burst from Gu Jiaojiao’s lips, but she abruptly clamped a hand over her mouth.
Though her eyes were filled with endless worry, she didn’t let herself make a sound.
She had to trust her man. She couldn’t let her voice distract Leng Yuan.
However, Leng Yuan was prepared.
The moment the venomous snake lunged, the sickle in his hand flashed. The meter-long snake was instantly sliced in two, the pieces falling into the bottomless abyss below the cliff.
He had dispatched the venomous snake.
Leng Yuan waited, but no other snakes appeared, so he began to dig up the Polygonum multiflorum.
He had no idea how many years this Polygonum multiflorum had been growing here. It was larger than any he had ever seen, the root as thick as a grown man’s arm.
To his delight, there wasn’t just one, but two.
After harvesting both Polygonum multiflorum plants, Leng Yuan started climbing back up the rock face.
He moved even faster than he had on the way down.
The moment the man stood before Gu Jiaojiao, she threw herself at him, burying her face tightly in his neck.
Leng Yuan stiffened for a moment, then wrapped his arms tightly around her.
The next moment, he felt a dampness on his neck.
’She’s crying?’
A sense of helplessness washed over Leng Yuan. He hadn’t expected the incident to frighten Gu Jiaojiao so badly.
But the moment he saw the snake, it had been too late to move the flashlight away.
He stroked her head to comfort her.
"It’s okay. The snake fell off the cliff. Everything’s fine now, don’t be scared."
Gu Jiaojiao only cried harder. "Leng Yuan, let’s not gather herbs anymore. You scared me to death."
Astonishment flashed in Leng Yuan’s eyes. He had never imagined Gu Jiaojiao would say something like that.
He thought she was crying because she was afraid of the snake.
He never imagined it was because she feared for his safety.
Although he had been confident that she would never leave him after they registered their marriage, he knew in his heart that Gu Jiaojiao was in love with Yun Hao.
Even if he didn’t pay attention to village affairs, with Chen JianShe around, he’d heard quite a bit about Gu Jiaojiao’s pursuit of Yun Hao.
So he had never thought that Gu Jiaojiao would genuinely care about him.
Knowing her tears were for him, he felt a shameful sense of happiness.
"There, there. I’m fine. Don’t be scared."
Gu Jiaojiao said nothing, just clung to him tightly and refused to let go.
Resigned, Leng Yuan simply held her as he coiled the rope, then prepared to head down the mountain.
The sobbing Gu Jiaojiao was speechless.
’Does this man not know that sweet nothings exist?’
She had just been truly terrified.
She hadn’t expected a venomous snake. For a moment, her heart had nearly stopped.
If anything had happened to Leng Yuan, she would have hated herself to death.
Thankfully, Leng Yuan was safe and sound.
Gu Jiaojiao sniffled, looking up at him with red-rimmed eyes, looking both wronged and fragile.
It made Leng Yuan feel an urge to tease her.
"Jiaojiao, don’t tempt me. I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold back."
Gu Jiaojiao was speechless.
’What is this damn man thinking?’
She was just worried about him.
But the physical change in his body was undeniable.
Startled, Gu Jiaojiao pushed him away and tried to run, but he yanked her back, and his lips descended upon hers.
Gu Jiaojiao’s eyes flew wide.
The moon was especially beautiful tonight—big and round.
The wind on the mountaintop was a bit chilly.
But his embrace was scorching hot.
He kissed her until her head was spinning, and in the end, he had to carry her down the mountain on his back.
「At Village Chief Xu’s house.」
Xu Wenwan’s system lit up with a red light.
A large line of text appeared on the light screen.
WARNING! WARNING!
Plot deviation detected! Plot deviation detected!
But Xu Wenwan, sleeping sweetly with her eyes shut tight, didn’t see the message at all.
The next day, when Xu Wenwan learned of this news, she shot up in bed.
"What do you mean? Who changed the plot?"
